Assassin's Creed

It's like retreating to your cabin to play a crappy economy/annoyingly simple tactical combat simulator on a C64 to earn some peanuts while you could use your valuable playtime to blast forts, ride rogue waves and kill white sharks with your bare hands instead in real (simulated) life.

ahaha yes. i got back into iv, it finally clicked that letting your notoriety level rise is the way to get the bigger ships w/ metal etc. i like the fort attacks too, i just wish they didn't have the exact same layout. can't complain too much though. i was feeling that the stormy weather i'd seen was too brief and the game decided to give me a pretty bad storm with a huge waterspout and giant wave. i also like pulling up to a ship to board and just nailing guys with the side cannon without having to leave the deck

i like the fleet stuff actually, it just doesn't seem to pay that well considering you have to wait up to 10 hrs for some of them to complete

just seen that rogue is being released for windows in 2015 as well. thought it was weird that the next-gen one (unity) was being released for pcs but the 360/ps3 one wasn't.

enthusiasm has kinda waned for 4 at the moment. about 2/3 way through and it's ok but feel like i've seen everything i'm gona see. those first few days of playing though, up there with the absolute best

so apparently Unity is a shitshow, and the embargo on reviews until noon on release day shows they knew it

dying @ the characters with disembodied eyes and mouths

terrifying!!

Has anyone tried the game? Also wouldn't it be great if there was a mod available where that could be default?

lmao

is unity really so bad?

Sounds more like a pc platform specific issue.. far cry 4 is having similar issues and the review versions werent even sent before release

haven't played ac4 in an age but feel ngh about jumping straight to unity without finishing it. hope it's just graphic glitches and not actual gameplay that's ropey

i wanna play unity but can't bring myself to buy it while major issues are still unpatched

'cenobites w/ collapsing bodies in paris' could be fun in its own right i guess

hear Rogue kind of sucks.

unity is dope so far

lol ubi have announced the next instalment already: http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2014/12/02/next-years-big-assassins-creed-set-victorian-london

how long until the world war 2 entry

Weimar republic would be cool

I think there's some ww2 action in unity isn't there?

So I just read the synopsis of Unity, and small spoiler, perhaps, but is the plot of the game that the assasins try to prevent the revolution?

not really

I don't know about the gameplay but Unity looks very cool. And many reviews, here in France, were raving (including historians experts of the revolution era !).
I guess I'll get it… when I'll make the jump to the new gen consoles...

Feel like next summer it might be Arkham Knight that tips me over into getting a next gen is I'll play this then. For now I'll consider Rogue.

paris looks great, just the detail in the natural lighting when going inside to outside or vice versa is crazy. the combat/parkour overhaul is good too. seems like the weapon variety they've added is very dark souls influenced. claymore?! ac4 was fun but felt like more a pirate spinoff. unity goes back to feeling like ac2. if they can just fix the floating npc glitches...

the ac unity patch blog is pretty lolsy for the comments. reminds me of the good ol days when ilx had random googlers posting

Hi, my accounts are in Assassins Creed Unity Gold. Far Cry 4 free I want from you ...

Has anyone tried Rogue? Tempted!

so it seems this giant new unity patch has solved the problem of crowd pop-in by, uh, adding an animus highlight to it to make it a feature rather than a bug?

good job ubi, keep on keepin' on

i was given an xb1 copy of this as a gift. i've played a couple of hours and it's both beautiful and boring as fuck.

heh, i actually like that effect

it falls somewhere between ingenious and shameless

it's both beautiful and boring as fuck.

played a good amount of it and this is accurate. i tried the latest patch last night and didn't see any weird pop-in like that

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/vljtyqnqmm0rlzta13hr.gif

just got home to a 39gb patch for this on my xb1 ffs

good job ubi, keep on keepin' on

i guess this could have spoilers but who gives a shit. its hilarious this can happen in a cutscene

LOL

that is pathetic

what the hell, that's nuts. how can anything get released like that?

my colossal unity patch is still downloading btw

If Tetris blocks are too hard to render no wonder they couldn't do female player characters.

lol

Well, this is a thing. Who knows enough about Renaissance-era Spanish history to figure out how he's going to fit in? He's a contemporary of Ezio and has all of his fingers intact.

Meet Michael Fassbender as Callum Lynch in Assassin’s Creed.

Based on the massively popular — and prolific — video-game series of the same name, the movie version is set to open in theaters Dec. 21, 2016.

Before hardcore Assassin's Creed gamers start scratching their heads (and filling up the comments) about how exactly Callum Lynch fits into the game world, we can tell you that Fassbender’s character was created specifically for the film. (The movie isn’t retelling any of the existing games, but rather introducing new characters into the same world.)

Lynch discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked genetic memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. After gaining incredible knowledge and skills he’s poised to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day.

Also starring Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises), Michael Kenneth Williams (12 Years a Slave), and Ariane Labed (Before Midnight), cameras start rolling for Assassin's Creed on Monday. Filming is set to happen in Malta, London, and Spain.

that's a baffingly competent cast for what is sure to be a terrible movie

this scene will be a challenge even for fassbender

not even a fassbender bends that fast

Solid reviews is enough to tempt me back to this generally disappointing franchise.

Has there ever been more time and effort put into something that absolutely no-one gives a shit about than the futuristic bits of these games

after six years of posting on this thread I finally played AC2 & now am playing Brotherhood. & they are worth the wait. just bought the rest of the AC games available for 360, when I finish those maybe it'll be time to get an xbone/ps4. the setting of AC3 still seems lame to me but as long as there's exploration and little dinky tasks and killing I'll be good.
