[QUOTE=Nebukadnezzar;40111057]Assassin's creed: Modern Warfare[/QUOTE]What.
Everything: Modern Warfare
Well we'll get to China/Japan at SOME point
I thought i was the only one who thought AC games are boring as fuck.
I played up until the third game. The first was a revolution in open world gaming and combat systems, then the second and third was just more and more of the same shit. The story is more or less a let down by now as well.
It has become a milking franchise. And I dont think thats news at this point.
while I agree it's quality over quantity, I have no problems with this as long as the games aren't shit

3 felt like a boring chore to me.
I never played any of them, am I missing much?
[QUOTE=cccritical;40110926]I'm still slogging through Revelations, fuck this game is bad. Haven't gotten AC3 yet, is it remotely similar? If I hate Revelations will it be any good? I hope this doesn't become just another annual series that I have no interest in, I loved all the rest.[/QUOTE]
the AC2 was great but Revelations is only good if you really like Ezio
otherwise don't even fucking bother just watch it online
AC2 and Bh was 9/10 but ACR was 6.5/10 for me. ACR was alright but it looked so god damned ugly.
[QUOTE=Bathtub;40111442]haytham was much more interesting[/QUOTE]
An AC game where you play a Templar all the way through would be awesome.
Especially if they did the "You are a Templar" thing right at the end.

Not particularly...
I gave up after revelations, skipped 3 cause it was just a slog. Heard I made a good call
I just wanna see some motherfuckin' Assassin's Creed in Ancient Rome.
[QUOTE=redBadger;40110914]I personally don't mind until they [b]start[/b] going downhill.[/QUOTE]
whoopse!
A lot of successful triple-A games are starting to go down this route. It's just like American TV series that are run into the ground until they stop making money. And the worse it gets, the more the 'memory' of the series will be tainted. Not saying the games will necessarily get worse, but the experience will most certainly become diluted.
I've never really liked the Assassins Creed series to be honest. The first one was alright, but felt too much like a dumbed down Prince of Persia.
I loved 1, 2, and Brotherhood. Pretty much hated Revelations. Haven't picked up 3 yet due to me being tight with money since I haven't worked since October. Almost half of the stuff I read says 3 wasn't what people thought it would be...
Also, why does the world have to work this way....95% of all movies and games are all about the franchising. Sure, not every sequel/prequel is bad (and some are openly welcomed), but not all of them are good either.
I hate seeing franchises I love go downhill simply because a studio will not take a moderate risk and create something new. They could create something new, but have similarities to something so they keep the audience they had from a previous series. I think you see that a lot in music. Musicians will play/tour with other bands to do something new, but still keep their style intact regardless of what they play.
Eh, IMO AC2 is still the story and character peak of the series, though Brotherhood was excellent as well. After that it just seems to be going downhill.
I just don't think that their development cycle lends itself to quality games. Even if they stagger development between the studios, it still feels like the same crap every year, and at degrading quality.
Contrast with Bioshock Infinite, where they took their time to make what may be the best game of the year, and didn't try to cash in on a franchise every year.
The one thing I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed how they handled the Homestead missions as opposed to before where you just dumped money in to a building and out came more money. At least with the missions, it felt like you were actually working towards something over time and that there was substance to it over just "I give you money, now give me more money every twenty minutes."
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;40111009]I think this is wrong. We have seen mechanics change. AC3 saw some fairly new introductions of mechanics, faulty and unfinished clearly, but they were aiming in a new direction. I can't say with any certainty, but AC4 at least looks to contain fixes to their problems and hopefully they know just how much they're going to have to do keep this series alive and "fresh".
Even CoD is seeing falls in annual sales due to it's repetition, everyone in the industry knows the repetition is not garnering them a whole lot of love and loyalty.[/QUOTE]
I really enjoy the ship combat thing they have going
I gave up when they announced 4 so early, and the fact that it centers around fantasy treasure hunting pirates.

games aren't for fun
games are serious business
who the fuck put fun in this game? TAKE IT OUT NOW
at first, playing revelations for me was nigh-impossible but I got over it and played it purely for the story. it's still a great game, just not gameplay-wise (because asscreed games are starting to get stale for me, I only play for the stories)
asscreed 3 was pretty good, but like I said, it gets stale after awhile. as long as ubisoft cranks out games with great stories, i'm not going to complain
I hope AC4's ship combat is just a little slower. The ships felt too snappy and responsive to me, but otherwise it was amazing. I remember distinctly looking up during a storm and seeing an enemy ship, visible as a black outline against a flash of lightning, coming over a wave a hundred feet above me. Shit was cool

the big mistake you made was playing revelations first. if you would have played AC3 first you then revelations would have been a masterpiece in comparison.
[QUOTE=Bliblixe;40110948]You can't just release a game every year that is always of amazing quality. Even if it manages to stay great, at some point it just won't be as good / better than the old ones.
Assassin's Creed was great, but after playing 5 of them, I don't want to touch one anymore, just got bored.[/QUOTE]
I really hate Assassin's Creed I compared to II
assassin's creed isn't fun. it's just well marketed.
The premise as a murder simulator is still pretty cool, but they're dropping the ball on execution.
Tbh I think AC1 had the most memorable assassinations of any of the games. Too bad about the rest of that game though.
They need to go back to doing the investigation stuff, then killing a target like in AC1 rather than the gta style go to exclamation mark on map to watch cutscene and get mission because half of the time I didn't know what was going on with the story.
But they have to not do it like AC1 where you collect flags on buildings to get intel from a quest giver. Maybe like some real detective work so you learn about your target and where to find him.
Basically what I'm saying is that it should be like an open world Hitman where you kill people for money and there is no overarching story.
and get rid of fucking Desmond
Assassins Creed in space.
