8CN: Gamers were hit with a double dose of Assassin's Creed last week with news regarding Unity and Comet (official and unofficial reveals respectively), the next two games in the series. Unity will be headed to next-gen platforms, while Comet will reportedly be released on the Xbox 360 and PS3. While it's still too early to pass any judgment on either title, many have lamented what they feel is a glut of Assassin's Creed games. Some gamers feel that the serious is close to franchise overkill, threatening to destroy the originality that made the initial entry so memorable.
This should make fans and collectors very happy. PureArts & Ubisoft Announce Assassin’s Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama Assassin's Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama available for pre-order on January 25.
AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.
Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4
The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.
No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.
Nope
There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war
They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided
They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back
I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.
Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.
Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience
Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.
I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Yes.
Assassins Crees Unity needs to offer something fresh. They did a good job with AC4 and the whole pirate thing. But Unity looks like its going back to that AC1 style. I'm not excited for it personally and I'm not buying it, but I'm sure my brother will buy it with his Christmas money, he does it every year.
Oh definitely, but they're still pretty fun. It'd be better for their image, and the fans if they took a year or two break to make some real innovations to their system though. AC needs a revamp
I think AC could use a break
AC Unity definitely needs to be as ground breaking as AC2 was. A wholly evolved formula. I see that the control design is supposed to be different with the whole "parkour up" and "parkour down" keys.
AND it needs a much more focus on ASSASSINATION. More in-depth social stealth gameplay or new imaginative ideas to stalk or execute targets.
It can't just be more crowds and more weapons. It needs to be a wholly new product.
