Assassin's Creed: Revelations

[The Josh]

Makes three of us. I love this series and glad to be jumping back into it shortly.

Me too! But like Bardoon said, I will be SUPER bummed if we don't get another time period/new character to play after Revelations...not ready to play as Desmond.

 

[Doctor Who]

Been playing through 2 and Brotherhood again. Still one of the better games out there.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Honeslty I can completely do without the modern story line. Gimme AC in feudal Japan or something. I'm still working on getting 100% sync on AC Brotherhood. Literally one could play this game for 200 hours to get it all. I'm still stuck trying to do the damn kill the crossarmed guards with the crossbow challenge. Also can't find aconite to save my ass.

 

[Doctor Who]

I'd like to see feudal Japan and Nazi Germany. I'd love to run around as a German Resistance fighter (better known as the Assassin Order).

I can live with the crossbow and the occassional wristgun shot, but we don't really want to turn AC into a shooter do we? And I think they have to avoid full on battlefield scenes. The civillian crowds, sword play, and climbing are all essential elements that I would doubt could be maintained if they went to the 20th century.

Well, the battle rages on in Desmond's era. I think making it more modern will work, you will have to deal with security cameras and whatnot, but you will have more hi tech gadgets too. I trust Ubisoft.

What I'm saying is F the story arc. IMO it was a lame element to begin with. Does anyone really care about the Abstergo story?

The game would still be a good game without the scifi techno babble.

Why not bring Red Dead Revolver to modern times...? LOL.

Going to the modern times will kill the uniqueness of the game.

I for one like that so much of it connects to the modern times. It adds a certain chill factor when they talk about Altaiir and Ezio, or the Templars, and connect them to Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ghandi, Tessler, Napoleon, and other historical figures. All that is relevant because it leads to what Abstergo is up to and the control of power in society. It is really an amazing change of pace than the normal gameplay of the videogame and you lose all that by just living in the past. Actually being a character in the future adds another dimension, and it works out because the creators spend so much time and are so resourceful in bringing an entire world of ideas together.

I think it would be awesome if the next one went back in time. Maybe to Egypt or even Greece. I've always wanted to use a Bow in these games and it would be epic if they put one in.

 

[ProgMatinee]

AC 1 had a lot of problems with stuff like repetition, but IMO the Abstergo story really made it worse. Being confined to that silly lab was annoying.

Its been tolerable in the latest 2, but only to varying degrees. I find having to read the various emails and talk to Lucy and the others tedious.

I enjoy the puzzle factor that the Truth stuff provided, but for me the more interesting stories in AC Brotherhood was the Borgia more than Abstergo.

I think Greece, Rome, Egypt those would all be epic.

 

[The Josh]

The last two games have been great. Nothing wrong with them at all IMO.

In what modern-times game can you climb buildings, take people down with a hidden blabe and use eagle vision? It won't kill the uniqueness at all.

I still need to complete the last one. However, this one is on my Christmas list.

My problem is I've been playing Dark Souls and will be playing Skyrim. Those two games alone could keep me busy for months if not the entire year due to the amount of time I get to play them.

In what context would that work in modern times and why would we want to see the scenery?

Climbing atop a KB Homes manufactured subdivision doesn't really inspire as much "wow" factor as climbing buildings in 15th century Italy.

And why would a guy walk around with swords in the 20th or 21st century?

I'll grant you that they would keep the hidden blade, but would they replace all the other weapons with machine guns, making it a shooter?

Get on it already. I'll be picking this one up next week at midnight.

Yeah, those two games seem to be popular but with all the games that have been coming out and I have to play mixing them all in is a challenge.

Take a look at some cities in Belgium. A lot are still in the 16th century style.

Why would a guy not walk around carrying knives? There's a lot of time periods that didn't use swords.

Knowing Ubisoft, most we'll see are pistols.

It's crazy. I can't even play Gears because of Mackenzie. It's amazing how many times I get up for her. I would have negative points from quitting so much. So if I don't accept invites please don't be offended. It just won't work until she starts sleeping more. I hear it gets better at about 4 months.

So I've been trying to stick with single player games.

Its all good. A child is a bit more important.
