JFSOCC Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I consider Assassins Creed to be a guilty pleasure, despite all that is wrong with the plot and narrative of these games, I can't help but enjoy them. It's just fun faffing about, as Ben Croshaw put it. Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.---Pet threads, everyone has them. I love imagining Gods, Monsters, Factions and Weapons.

Climbing Brunelleschi's Dome appeased my history geekiness. How would an AC set during ancient Rome make you feel? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Katphood Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 It seems that Rockstar Games have managed to pull their own little heist! There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

I'd like it, but I'd rather see them take on Imperial China, maybe some sort of Yuan Dynasty storyline where you assassinate corrupt Mongols.

I'd like it, but I'd rather see them take on Imperial China, maybe some sort of Yuan Dynasty storyline where you assassinate corrupt Mongols. That falls under the Altair timeline, as I recall it he left to deal with the Mongol invasion which is what lead to the Apple corrupting "what his name". But rest assuredly, if AC becomes a yearly affair like they plan we are going to be seeing a lot of history. I'm just hoping they ditch Desmond and maintain quality control, it seems they dropped the ball on AC3. 1 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Hurlshort Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I actually would like to play the AC set in Constantinople, I never got around to that one. It's still $20 on Steam though, so I'll have to wait for a decent sale.

HoonDing Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Revelations is the best AC with Ezio. Being able to train your own master assassins and do missions with them was a cool addition. Also, the best assassinations in the series. And like in Game of Thrones RPG, badass middle-aged protagonist. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Tale Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Revelations was awful. Brotherhood was best, I will cut you. Revelations just really did not change enough from the mechanics and the plot was meaningless from the outset. Ezio goes in search of an apple that we knew back in AC1 the Templars had and lost. No more growth for him, nothing to accomplish. Just filler. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

HoonDing Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 AC plot was meaningless ever since they came up with that dumb apple at the end of AC1. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Hurlshort Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 AC plot was meaningless ever since they came up with that dumb apple at the end of AC1. I agree for the most part. AC2 was strong because of the story of Ezio, the apple stuff was mostly a distraction from the personal family quest. Although by the end of AC2 I was growing more interested in the story of Desmond.
