"Let’s get one thing straight: I absolutely loved Assassin’s Creed 2. So it makes sense that I should love Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, right? Wrong, because Brotherhood should really be titled Assassin’s Creed 2.5. The problem is, I DO love Brotherhood!"- ChaingunPope
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
With todays games I don't really understand what the guy in the article is saying.
With a sequel today you cannot except much more than what we got from AC2 to AC:Brotherhood. Most sequels can be considered 2.5 I guess.
Developers want to take an established franchise and roll a game out every 1 or 2 years and with that they got limited time to do stuff with the game and might postpone ideas and such for the next one.
personally i thought it was brilliant, so what if its short, its longer than prince of persia, kane and lynch and probably alot of other games.
It is AC2.5, but that doesn't take away it's "fun". I love the game, but now I'm trying to balance this and GT5. God, I think I should play this first and then really dedicate myself with GT5.
Brotherhood has some great concepts.
I think the combat is too easy though. I have no problem taking on 10 guys (that sounded gay) but it shouldnt be like that. It should be promoting stealth more. Hmm maybe I'm not on the hardest setting, I better check, I think I'm on the second hardest.
And can someone please tell me why for Godsake AC doesnt have a crouch/cover button. Its criminal.
