If you finish Assassin's Creed 1

[Oriebam]

Can you start again as if you were playing for the first time on the same profile, with the same side-quests and shit? Is there any way to skip the sidequests?

My copy of the game is seriously fuck up so I need to know. I guess I am going to have to skip this game and read some spoilers...

 

[Stinger]

You can redo the sequences and Altair's story can be redone. Desmond's story cannot.

The sidequests can't be skipped unfortunately iirc.

I think it's tragic that a bro like Ezio has to exist in a dan brown goes gaming hackjob

 

[Volrath]

Ezio is a faggot, Altair is the true bro.

 

[villain of the story]

Ezio is a faggot, Altair is the true bro.

Altair is a whiny faggot. Ezio was trying too hard to be macho in Brohood, therefore he's also a faggot. He was ok in AssCreed2 though.

There are people who finished AC1? Wow, thats an achievement.

Of all three (the 4th isnt released for PC yet) AC games I only finished AC2. It had nice story, good missions, wasn't boring. Brotherhood is somewhat boring... Didn't finish.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

With all fairness for brotherhood it is fairly difficult to top a fistfight with the pope as a narrative event.

 

[anus_pounder]

We're getting Ezio for a 3rd game ? I dunno. I'm sorta tired of him at this point.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

The characterisation for brotherhood was quite forced, yeah. In fact that game was pretty much veiled Ezio fanservice.

iirc the next game has equal portions of ezio, altair and desmond doing shit in their time periods

If it wasn't for this technical issue and the fact that I have played the first levels TOO MUCH I would do it

What I have to know in order to avoid this franchise or not in the following months is if punching da polis then running away for 5 minutes is still viable and fun in the later games
is it?
(I guess that's why everyone plays this, but just in case... )

I would prefer they just leave Ezio and Altair as flashback mini-levels and have the main game continue with someone else. Dunno who though, so I guess I'm satisfied with desmond and altair getting equal share as ezio.

I thought it would be a chick in the french revolution.

C'EST L'ASSASSIN?!!

 

[SoupNazi]

Can someone tell me the ending of the first game? I never brought myself to finish that piece of shit but AC2 was pretty good.

 

[Stinger]

The simulation ends Vidic walks off with some officials now that he has the location of the Pieces of Eden and Desmond sees Subject 16's crazy codes that he wrote in his blood when he went insane and killed himself. He does that with Eagle Vision so it's a kind of twist in that you originally think Eagle Vision was a gameplay quirk from full synchronisation but it turns out it's an actual ability that Assassins have.

Then Credits. It's quite a shitty ending tbh, incredibly anticlimactic and just ends on a twist that doesn't seem to make sense (further explained in AC2 though).

In AC2 it starts with Desmond still sitting in the lab when Lucy runs in and breaks him out of the place.

EDIT: Or you could just watch the videos Ed posted.

Gamespot review of AC Revelations is out. Apparently, more of the same but refined and with herp-derp minigames.

 

[anus_pounder]

I'm buying it mostly because of the setting. Constantinople

I'm buying it mostly because of the setting. Constantinople

Just to remember, the game is set after the Turks take over the city, that means no portable flamethrower.

Actually, I remember seeing Ezio using that device to burn down a couple of boats in a setpiece in one of the previews.

Shame that Revelations isn't doing much to the formula, Ubisoft seemed like one of the few companies actually trying to improve their games with each sequel. But I suppose this is what happens when your original creative director and creator of the series leaves after Brotherhood.

 

[Menckenstein]

Revelations seems pretty solid but I'm torn on whether to get that or Saints Row THA THIRD :/
