Manhunt says hello.
Milking is when you are no longer bringing a coherent and original story or innovation to the franchise. In essence you are only bringing the "name" and face value to the product.
The video games in my opinion haven't been milked. If they were to bring out an Assassin's Creed 4 after ending this story, and it has no logical connection to previous games then yes, I would say it's being milked.
I don't feel that is the case with ...
@irepbtown
I think it may be mentioned in passing but I don't see it being at the heart of the story they are going to tell. While slavery was legal in all 13 colonies at that time. The northern industries didn't rely on it to the extent that the southern ones did. Most of the big battles took place in the north until the British went to the Carolina's. If the plot extends to that, I think slavery could be shown.
Was slavery mentioned in Assassin's Creed 1? There was certainly slavery in the crusade times.
There were slaves in Italy during the times of Assassin's Creed 2, but they weren't mentioned.
Revelations is set in the Ottoman Empire so there were definitely slaves but I do not recall them being mentioned.
Good catch.
@ Ahasverus
Get your facts right. Rodrigo and Cesare Borgia were evil men who used the Roman Catholic Church as a personal army and bank to take over Italy. They were murderers. I don't think it will be as cut and dry as you think on the glorification. There will be certain characters from history that are honored(as they should be, they overthrew a tyrannical government) but there will be shades of gray. Not every patriot was fighting for the right cause.
@Ahasverus
Forced patriotism!? Dude, you are fucked in the head. The flag sets the time frame specifically. It wasn't just put there for patriotic reasons, it immediately sets the backdrop for the game. If that alienates you, I suggest you go check out this new game called PONG.
Abraham Lincoln was born after the American Revolution ended.
You guys are all delusional. Where did the Templars go? They went to the New World.
I disagree in the nicest possible way. Black is the best one from the old days. Twisted Metal 2 was awesome though.
Bereaver I apologize for how clueless you are about good tv. I will put it in simpleton terms for you. Family Guy=Shit Sandwich. South Park=Filet Mignon.
They are a business, not a charity.
You need to learn to read and comprehend better. Jaffe stuck up for punks like you.
Why would expectations be low? It's Twisted Metal.
Exactly what kind of credit do you have in the industry?
Yeah...He was talking about a video game console, not your mother. Take it easy.
@hellraiser
I suggest you take up a new hobby for a week then. Jogging is quite nice.
It's also magical because people like you can belittle others for having one too. Careful getting of your high horse, you might break something.
@despair
You are a much better debater than kingdavid.
Yeah, they are such total fanboys that they collect paychecks from them.
