It's a shit version of Hitman with non-sensical story segments every 37 seconds to hide the shit gameplay.

>start new mission
>move 5 steps
>3 minute cutscene
>follow a character while they talk for 2 minutes
>arrive at the location you were following the character for
>2 more minutes of talking
>templars are aliens from another dimension with a sun orb that can manipulate the universe
>3 more minutes of talking
>finally in control of your character to actually, you know, PLAY the game
>walk up behind someone and stab them within 30-45 seconds

It's false. The Templars aren't from another dimension. If you haven't played all the games you won't understand things about the First Civilization, which might be what you're thinking about, but regardless, why are you on the thread if you're not even interested in beating the one game you have?

[Anonymous No.6676551]

>>6676346
The thing that bugs me is that because they work on multiple games at one time is that it doesn't give them any time to see how the game was received and alter sequels accordingly. It's like, if they decide to add something into 3, and literally nobody likes that aspect of the game for some singular reason, if they try to remove or alter that in subsequent games, it's going to suck. A lot.

I can't take SJW serious when it comes to cosplay. Some of them are so pants on head stupid, they'll attack black cosplayers, accusing them of black facing. They did it to the Avaline cosplayer, and they did it to a guy cosplaying Shadow Link.

Well good thing I didn't start sewing Connor. Now I'm just going to wait until we get some character models before I start sewing anything.

[Anonymous No.6683049]

>>6683028
yeah, i'm in the mindset that you can cosplay whatever you want but they make cons unbearable. It's totally okay to lighten your skin, but heaven forbid if you darken it or get a tan. Black-facing is an old play technique where they wore charcoal on their faces and copious amounts of lipstick.....i wonder if they know that.

I'm excited to see your husbands outfit, good luck with it.

[Anonymous No.6683079]

>>6683028
It's not just with cosplay, though. Some of them made a blog about white people food, and they constantly post things that are actually Mexican, Japanese, etc. And then they go and apologize, because it's only bad if you're insulting a group of people that aren't white.

[Anonymous No.6683114]

I am kind of looking forward to it. My husband is a fan of the series, and for a past con I pulled out a last minute Desmond costume for him. I actually wanted to make him Ezio since I'm rather fond of the character and think he'd make a decent Ezio.

>when I was blatantly told that white people invented racism to promote their whiteness.

Well, technically that isn't entirely false if we're going to delve into the history of the word but that will take forever to explain and we're getting off-topic for all this SJW talk.
>ts;dc - Racism =/= Bigotry. Bigotry has been around forever, racism is more recent but its original meaning has been confused with bigotry. If someone is implying that White people invented bigotry, then yeah that is stupid.

[Anonymous No.6686367]

>>6671195
yep, pretty much this. I played Hitman: Absolution before I played AssCreed 3.

Assassin's Creed does not feel like an assassination game. The mechanics are built for brawls and platforming, not intense sneakiness. Yeah you can "blend in" with the crowd or hide on a bench, but it's not stealthy.

Granted, Hitman: Absolution's story was a bit wonky, but I had a lot more fun with it. It's how a hitman/assassin should do their work. He's not the hammer, he's the scalpel.

Can this be a Hitman thread now?

Nope. At least not in the next game. They seem to be done with the modern assassins which I am upset about. You no longer play a character in the animus looking at their ancestors but instead are an abstergo employee looking through the memories of most likely William Miles since when they kidnap him in the 3rd game he hints at them dling his memories. I really don't like the idea "ZOMG its like I'M in the series! DUR." I also dont understand why they decided to go this route if they set up Juno as a villain. I dont want someone to talking to me about whats going on in the real world or see it in a bunch of video clips I want to watch someone go through these events and care about them like I did with Desmond.

I thankfully never had problems with glitches. Same with my boyfriend.

Was I the only person that really enjoyed how smooth the free running was now? Its almost perfect imo.

I think they fell flat in story and missions. Especially these stupid 100% sync objections that didn't make any sense. I remember one where you had to chase after a guard and then air assassinate him which didnt make any sense because I caught up to him before we even reached the area where you were suppose to air assassinate him. So I was running in front of him until I reach the building and waiting for him. Or that naval mission where you had to ram ships to reveal their gun powder supplies to shoot them. But I had upgraded my ship so much I could kill them in one hit. I wish they set sync requirements that made sense and be something someone would actually do not just what pointless thing can we make them do this time.

I wouldn't sell the game short, though. They haven't said TOO much about it, after all. I'm hoping that maybe this is a prequel, though, because it's not just AC4, it's AC4: Black Flags. Maybe the REAL AC4 will be better.

I could not give a flying fuck about the self-promoting "controversy"; what matters is the gameplay. If Ubi gets tgeir heads out of their asses and goes back to a more ACII-esque combat style, I will forgive.

But Revelations and ACIII were so dumbed down and stripped of any notion of challenge I very much doubt it.

I dressed up as a Templar with full armor at Katsucon this year. I had a lot of fun yelling at the assassin's, saying things like, "Hey you!

Bumping for more female Assassin's that don't look like whores.

Only complaint I have is that I can not find enough or many female AC characters. Aveline is great but when you/re as pale as sheet it's just asking for trouble.

There's a shitload of female AC characters, what are you talking about? I'd say it's pretty equal to the amount of men. Unless you're talking JUST about main Assassins. But still. You have Maria, who I believe becomes an Assassin, you have Claudia, you have Dobby from AC3, you have the multiple women other than Claudia all whos names escape me, and of course you have the moderns, Lucy and Rebecca. There's a lot.

Shut the fuck up, I've heard enough of this bullshit from /v/.
AC3 has the best controls in the game, minus with the horses. I've heard people bitch 'oh wah it's too easy to run' because apparently you all love randomly jumping off a building because of a wrong move, or drowning in a lake because you accidentally fell off a bridge? AC1 - AC Brotherhood all had shit controls, and the bugs and bullshit are not "challenges", it's it having shit controls. Are you gonna say how running into something during Bloodlines made you go through a 5-minute loop of running back and forth made running a good challenge? Or that the 10-minute bullshit in all but AC3 where you would spend so long just trying to hit someone, only for them to defend, even when you try breaking their defense by kicks, was a good challenge too?
AC3 had the best controls in both running and combat, they took things in running away to make it easier, and to make combat more complex. You're a moron, hands down, if you think all the bullshit in the previous games was just chalked up to a good 'challenge' and getting rid of those kinks is AC3 being 'dumbed down.'

[Anonymous No.6689154]

I'm pretty up-to-date on the game. Lots isn't really known. The animus is up for anyone to look at any memory, and you don't play as Desmond, you play as yourself.
