Linking Lucifer to Assassin's Creed: Revelations

GoozerNation: "What does the word "Templar" bring to mind? Catholic knights of the Middle Ages? StarCraft? Assassin's Creed? The correct answer this time is Assassin's Creed, though their use of Templar is heavily steeped in the Middle Ages image. The Templar Order isn't the only religious analogy used in Assassin's Creed; the series is chock full of religious references, not all Christian, from Adam and Eve to Roman goddesses. But is there more beneath these connections?"

Nah, it's pretty obvious from all the religious references that this is the main premise for the game.

Kinda curious where they're taking it from here, AC3 can't come soon enough.

When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.

The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.

Historic Eras that Video Games Need to Explore

Xfire writes "Worldbuilding is a crucial part of any story. It's not an easy task to create a believable setting with its own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations and then weave a story into the said setting. Luckily, storytellers and video game writers don't always need to create complex settings when we've got history books as thick as Big Chungus.

Historical eras make a fabulous setting for video games. They've already got the world-building nailed, complete with their own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations. Honestly, I don't think I need to justify the fact that historical eras make an amazing setting for video games. If you don't believe me, just go ahead and play the Ghost of Tsushima or any of the Assassin's Creed games."

The first crusade would be pretty sweet. I’d probably enjoy any of those on your list if they were done respectfully. Like not some dork in Portland making a Russian Revolution game.

Benin Empire, Far East, Central America. Games are pretty biased toward Europe, North America, and the Middle East. There is a very big world out there.
