The Assassin's Creed Topic

[Tobbe]

Assassin's Creed is an interesting series. The gameplay gets better an better throughout the series, while the story does exactly the opposite. I just can't take that intricate mess of oogey boogey conspiracies and horrible pseudo science seriously.

It's people like Rayfan that make me interested in playing the franchise, especially since she got me into Crysis. MY dad likes AC, he never bothered to get 100%, though he only beat 2 and Brotherhood, since I have a new gaming computer, I think I should start to try it out, from #1, see if I can get into it.

I've only ever played the first [on 360] and second one [on PS3] briefly, and with the second one I still can't get over the fact that I got a trophy just for waking a newborn baby.

O noes teh Crysis on teh RPC.

So am I positively persuasive in which few words can change your mind, or did I hold a knife up to your neck and never shut up about them?

Nah, I enjoyed Crysis, I did see my dad playing AC but I did get a bit bored, mostlikely because I didn't follow the story, and it was being played on a console, lawlz.

I’ve just started the second game. The first couple of hours as Ezio is one of the better examples of video-game storytelling I’ve seen, and the amount of effort put into establishing the characters and making the player care about them is especially admirable. It’s already a huge improvement over the first game, which featured voice acting that was as flat as a pancake and dialogue which resembled Wikipedia paragraphs on the history of the Middle East.

Just wait. The story spirals into unbearable oogey-boogeyness as the game progresses before it goes completely snooker loopy at the end.

I only got into the Assassin's Creed franchise recently, (because I only just got a PS3 recently(october)) and I've only played the first two games. I have this thing (OCD maybe?) that if I play a game I like, I have to start from the first in the series because I always want to know the plot. So yeah, I'm only up to Assassin's Creed II. (haven't finished it) Quick question for people who've played AC Brotherhood/Revelations is the multiplayer any good?

No.

It's really good, the only problem is that the matchmaking takes a while.

Sounds deserted. But also cool. Anyway, when they announced ACIII Ubisoft said that they had always planeed for Assassin's Creed to be a trilogy, and that ACIII would be the last in the series. Does this mean that Brotherhood and Revelations were supposed to be a sub-series/sidequels? (I made that up. Could be used in terms like for example, Ubisoft still want an AC trilogy, but they don't want Brotherhood & Revelations to be spin-offs, so they call them sidequels. They're like sub-series but are more related to the main story. Good idea for the word or should I give up?)

Well, as long as the game part of the game is good, then I'm still interested.

It's not deserted, it just takes a stupidly long time to load.

And no, Brotherhood is a direct continuation of AC II (literally, it's DIRECT); AC II, Brotherhood and Revelations all follow Ezio's storyline, so they aren't spin-offs or a sub-series.

I know, but why would Ubi state that they're gonna finish it off as a trilogy if they've had five games? (Including ACIII)

[Adsolution]

Because each numerical installment to the series has been set at a different timeline (ACI: 1100-1200; ACII: 1400-1500; ACIII: 1700-1800). Brotherhood and Revelations were merely continuations to the second installment within the same timeline.

Aha! Thank you for clearing that up!

[Spanex]

So AC3 will either be the final installment, or it will have it's own continuations like AC2 did. But either way, it will be the last one.

Well I'm kind of glad with hearing this because I really want to know how it ends with the whole thing about the sun burning us and stuff. Obviously I want to play the game and learn the ending myself.

[Adsolution]

I actually am hoping this isn't the final installment. Then again, since it plays off of the 2012 premise and it's being released in October, two months before the event, then maybe this really is it.

[beebo44]

Ok offtopic question, but please answer seriously. Is anyone here actually fearful about the supposed "2012" apocalypse/end of the world?

Anyway, I don't think they'll give ACIII sequels, but I can always hope.

[Spanex]

I haven't really given it a thought. But I think it's safe to assume nothing drastic will happen.
