Assassins Creed for the Wii U!!!

[Splash_King]

Lookin' forward to it since I've been too lazy t' look into AC's lesser properties myself.

I still don't understand how anyone can bare with usin' a mobile device for forum-going unless it's the only option...

your a bit behind then. (WiiAssassin that is) :P

Here's one part that made me lol irl at how bad it was. That one puzzle:

Spoiler Alert!

Are you srs game? Are you ****ing srs?! It's like something a sunday school teacher would come up with.

Then there's the Borgia. Oh god, those guys were some of the dullest and most plain villains I encountered. They had virtually no personality and were solely being a twirly mustache villain. With one guy being pope and the other attempting to conquer everything, there was potential for something good. But no, random incest and the pope chokes on an apple. k

A big difference between this series and other bad games such as CoD is the scale. CoD is just random shooting without deep subjects. The Truth and other elements means AC must carefully tread among sensitive and difficult subjects. By including the origin of man and it's purpose, a bad presentation of this would make the story come crashing down. While rare, these elements do show up in other games and in much better quality.

The Assassin's Creed treatment of this sorta reminds of a bad anime, where at the last moment, it randomly starts spouting conspiracy and religious nonsense to up the epicness so to speak. It was decent at first but it decided that it wanted to go further and fell face first into the mud.

I'll think of something else later.

Indeed. Presentation is always more important than the subject matter; Ubisoft failed to properly present the potential they had. A likable protagonist can't charisma their game's plot to success all on his own after all.

... At the same time, while it don't change the fact that the Borgia's potential was outright wasted across both games, it's reasonable they didn't make an awesometacular plot for 'em in Brotherhood at the least. Ubisoft Montreal's B-team handled Brotherhood and Revelations while their A-team was hard at work in regards to AC:III. They could've done better with a bit over a year of development, but also much worse.

Which is t' say, if AC:III's plot developments disappoint me, there'l be no proper excuse.

[WiiAssasin]

Oh and the pacing. Brotherhood teleported me to the middle of the final battle, which was confusing.

dat 3 year time skip

They did the same thing in ACII after all the events in Venice. Specific events aside, I've always felt ACII had the least properly-paced plot of all the consoles' games (without considering ACIII since I've yet t' play it). All the jumping 'round felt either forced or untimely to me.

[WiiAssasin]

That was 3 years? ****. AC2 had lots of time skips, whereas Brotherhood had less. At least, until just now.

[Splash_King]

AC2 had at least a year of time skipping for every two sequences. The two-year time sequence I mentioned isn't actually skipped though, it's simply two sequences as DLC (the Battle of Forli and the Bonfire of the Vanities)... ... ...

Not sure if said sequences were withheld or produced after the game's release date.

DLC is good nomnomnom.
