There is more to assassination than violence. You are not a meandering whirlwind that leaves a trail of destruction in its wake. To know your target's habits, to eliminate only that target, and to vanish with no one suspecting your presence is the mark of a true assassin. Every hint of your involvement is a failure. The Assassin's Creed games are, in theory at least, about exceptional assassins. Heck, the word is right there in the title. Desmond has gone through extensive physical training and experienced several lifetimes' worth of memories from the perspectives of his assassin ancestors. He should be a master of his craft. So how good is he? We came up with some theoretical targets, then asked Desmond and his sneaky video game colleagues to lay out a plan for accomplishing each hit. You can decide how he stacks up.
This should make fans and collectors very happy. PureArts & Ubisoft Announce Assassin’s Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama Assassin's Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama available for pre-order on January 25.
AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.
Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4
The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.
No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.
Nope
There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war
They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided
They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back
I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.
Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.
Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience
Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.
I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Desmond sucks.
Agent 47 rapes Desmond's skills in every way imaginable.
Gray Fox would be ashamed to be assigned someone like Desmond as a target. He would get that guy aced off in between having his joints oiled and getting a plate waxing at that corner Thai place, complete with a happy ending.
Pretty dumb article considering players haven't been giving a modern day Assassins Creed game where they are running around the New York skyline as Desmond. You have only played as Altair, Ezio and now Connor. Much older settings. They didn't have silenced pistols or night visions goggles.
Second of all if you read up the definition of "assassin":
1.
a murderer, especially one who kills a politically prominent person for fanatical or monetary reasons.
2.
( initial capital letter ) one of an order of Muslim fanatics, active in Persia and Syria from about 1090 to 1272, whose chief object was to assassinate Crusaders.
Seem's like Altair, Ezio, Connor and Desmond are pretty much good to go.
nah, he's a just lousy character. in a sea of generic bland and shallow character to come out this gen he easily tops'em all.
Desmond, a nobody that no one cares about, who is in the bloodline of a bunch of cool assassins.
Agent47 a clone genetically perfected for assassination.
IDK man, tough call.
