That's not Altair or Haytham

Best AC character was Ezio
You see him starting as a little shit and ending up as total bro tier

Not assassin either.
>Altair
Was not full brainwashed muhfredom assassin.
Actually, real trained from childhood assassins are Connor and Desmond. Who are both shit.
Makes me wonder.
>>
>>337452737

This, anyone who doesn't think Ezio is the best by a mile is just a hipster.
>>
>>337452985
I like Haytham the most but I think Altair and Ezio are great as well. Haven't played Rogue or any AC since 3 tho so I can't speak much about other ones.
>>
Best AC character is the Huntsman because assassins creed singleplay is garbage and always has been

Of course, the multiplayer, the one source of creative thought in the whole series has now been cut.
>>
who the fuck cares about the player character

who's your favourite historical bro?

thats remind how hard ubisoft milking ezio by making TWO extra separate game that barely different.
Ezio is the last and first of real assasins creed game

The only good part of AC3 was the one where you played as Haytham. The second you go into the red nigger protag the game falls apart.

Plotwise its a shame they never followed up with the idea that the Assassins can be as big of fuck ups as the Templars.
>>
>>337452950
Altair is the only trained from birth assassin. Connor and Desmond inherited the mutated and degenerated ideals that were falling apart.

You'll also notice that Altair is the only Assassin that experienced a crisis of identity and faith within the Brotherhood, whereas the Templars of 3 and Black Flag had returned to the ideals of the Templars from 1 after the decadence and hedonism the order fell victim to during the Borgia control of the Templar order.

Edward was pretty good at the end of AC4 though. Just a shame everyone worth a damn was dead and European Assassins hadn't changed at all, still promoting the mutation of the ideals rather than understanding them.

I didn't hate the story but they could have done a better job with establishing why the Assassins were terrible rather than that one guys complete refusal to listen to Shay when he returns from Portugal.
Also feels like we skipped a large part of Shay's story where we just jump ahead a year and he's suddenly a Templar.

Shay is an absolute retard, far from best AC character. Ezio, Edward, Altair are all better than him.

Arno didn't give a shit about actual assassin/templar ideals for 98% of the game, an even worse ratio than Edward!

He wanted to get his dick wet through the entire story and only returned to the assassins offscreen after he failed to do so.

Seriously. No one listened to Shay. It's baffling. I get Achilles not listening since he clearly knew this was going to happen after Haiti. But both Liam, Hope and everyone else just shrugged off Shay going batshit when he returns.

Is Rogue essential to the story of AC? I honestly like the story of AC, or is it just "Hey, here's what happened between IV and III."?
>>
>>337456045

Mostly irrelevant. It explains why american assassins are gone by the time of AC3, and in the present is the ultimate fuck you to the assassins in hiding.
>>
>>337456045
It's pretty important imo.
>>
>>337456019
He doesn't really say this, does he?
>>
>>337456045
I think it was made to give the Templars some time in the limelight, instead of being just some generic doomsday villains

And shay DID start the events of Unity

Nah, the closest thing is along the lines o "the assassins are fucking retarded and should absolutely not be allowed to hold these mystical artifacts"

I like Assassin's Creed and I'm happy that Ubi takes a year off to get their shit together.

What do you guys think of the movie coming out? Even as a hardcore fan of the series, I think it looks like shit.
>>
>>337456509
I thought it would look absolutely horrid, but it didn't. Not that I have any hope for it, just that my expectations were so low I don't think there was any lower to go. It was just a trailer anyway, it will probably still be shit.
>>
>>337455642
I think Achilles suspected what happened in Haiti would happen in Portugal but didn't know for sure.

Either way he was a prideful dickhead who was more concerned about Shay questioning his judgement than the consequences of his fuckup. It still pissed me off though that the rest of the assassins just rolled with it instead of questioning why Shay was so furious and left them in the first place.

Literally all the devs had to do was show some cutscene of Achilles lying to them for some 'to protect them/they wouldn't understand' reason. I'm still mad about how half assed that was.
>>
>>337456509
It looks fine. The only thing really bad about it is the meta present day story and the choice of music, and a shitty meta story is true to Assassins Creed.

Almost everything else pretty much looked like the games except with some Hong Kong action style camera framing.

But Haytham was an assassin but was lured to join some Templar faggot who took him in as his own son and convinced him that Templar is better, cause daddy assassin was too busy doing other shit neglecting his own kid.

Where do you think he got all his skills from?

Connor wasn't brought up as an Assassin. His mother was more of a Templar cunt falling in love with Haytham and bearing his child, even holding on to Haytham's journal. It wasn't until he was told to reach the Assassin's and follow the Assassin symbol in a vision from Juno.

I think Ezio and Desmond are the true childhood Assassins. Ezio's father was an Assassin all along and was subtly training Ezio to become one of them, but he kept the origins hidden from him until he was ready to understand the cause they were fighting for.
>>
>>337457058
Honestly, the plot in both the past and present is a clusterfuck now. I think they should either end the series, or reboot it.
>>
>>337457113

Literally the only thing Ezio learned was parkour
>>
>>337457125
I'd be fine with a reboot or with them taking a step back. I don't get why they have to keep moving forward with the setting. There are still a shitload of places and events they haven't shown. Also making games in China and Russia just a 2D side scrollers was plain stupid.

Man I feel really bad and nostalgia (get fucked memers) for this franchise. No game has ever made me feel like I did when going out of Maysaf for the 1st time. Revelations had me in tears and even more so AC3, the Homestead was great and the characters too.
>>
>>337457374
I'm pretty sure there is going to be a step back in the series.

There was a foreshadowing in AC III where Shaun and Desmond had this conversation where they talked about the wonders of the first civilization and how Shaun wanted to know what it would have looked like. Shaun says "maybe when this is all over we can use the animus on your memories going back 70,000 years ago".

Russia too, maybe even India. They just fucked it all up. Everyone's been requesting for an Asian AC game for years now and we got a 2D side scroller. Same shit happened with Russia. Everyone's been requesting it, more so those that knew of Nikolai and we another shitty 2D game. Well, we've still got Japan which is also requested by a lot of people, but IIRC Ubisoft said they don't really want to make one as there's already "a lot of games like these set in Japan".

in general, it tends to feel like Ubisoft has this weird problem with AC where they keep introducing great ideas in and concepts in side games and then dropping them, or hint at some big shake-up in a main game but nothing of it pans out.

>Liberation actually lets you make use of blending in via disguises other than running around in blatantly obvious assassin robes hinting at new stealth mechanics
>Nope

>III has the whole "oh, the end of the world got stopped but we may have just put something worse on our plates for down the line"
>Nope

>Rogue shows how Templars can be goodguys and Assassins can be just as dogmatic and blind.
>Nope

>Unity (and III to a lesser extent) hints at the possibility to Assassins and Templars banning together for once
>Nope

So would the best AC game actually make use of all these things introduced?

>Assassins are antagonistic but need to be reasoned with so Templars and Assassins can work together
>New stealth mechanics involving disguises
>Followup on the modern day plotline that seemed to die with Desmond? (Okay, maybe not this)

so i've been fucking this 24 year old for about six months now. she's got a boyfriend in the next state over. he's making the drive over today because she's got a formal that they're going to.

she came over this afternoon to fuck around because we couldn't do anything this weekend. we took a shower and we were talking about birth control, because she's getting on it in a week or so. managed to get her to agree to wear condoms with her boyfriend, he doesn't mind apparently, which is nice because i've been barebacking her for months.

anyway, we fucked for a while and her phone was ringing every 10 minutes like clockwork. she hopped off for a minute and called her boyfriend in the bathroom to calm him down, then came back to swallow my load.

her boyfriend was almost in town at that point so she had to bail. i thought it make me feel like a badass, having this girl kiss her boyfriend after swallowing my cum, but i don't..

i feel like an asshole.

Yet the next AC is said to be in Egypt. They also said they won't go past the point of steam engine's creation and yet we still got Syndicate set past that point. We might get a game set in Japan when they lose even more popularity. It's probably like their back-up plan.
