Well to be honest AC4 had better ship combat than... I don't know, does any non-strategy game do ship combat?

Sea Dogs and its sequels but outside of that I dunno.

Paris, eh? So they're ditching the naval scene already? I thought they would milk that dry.

AC4 sales were less than expected, maybe they put the blame on the ship thing and not to the fact of people being sick with AC in general. Besides, in revolution France and Napoleonic France there are plenty of opportunities to shoehorn the naval battle pointless mini game.

I kinda liked Ass Creed before it got infected with dumb SJW bullshit that made the horrible story even more awful.
What SJW bullshit is there? I haven't played an Asscreed since Brotherhood.
Until Brotherhood it was free of that shit as it concentrated more on a personal story but after that it got worse and worse. In Revelations the muslim prince sweat is made of peace, flowers and goodness while the christians are evil fascists that wants, ohh terrible... Expel the Muslim invaders and take Constantinople back. Ass Creed III gets Pocahontas syndrome and shows the indians suffering on the hands of the evil white man that are made of evil sociophats while the indians blood is made of pure goodness .

Guess what happens on the story? If you guessed that the indian tribe is destroyed and the protagonist is betrayed by evil white men people, you guessed right. Without mentioning that Freedom Cry and Liberation bullshit that defend that the right solution to slavery is to murder every white person that maybe involved with it. It is so manipulative and lacking any of the complexities of the time. It is history for dumb people.

The main enemy faction in the series are the Templars, I have no idea how any of that could have caught you by surprise.

I hated this game since I noticed it was about mohammedan heretics killing devout christians, servents of God in the Holy Land, of all places.

To hell with this heretic and sinful series.
the bad dudes, iirc, are actually a cabal of decadent manipulative atheists who are exploiting noble devout men of both sides for their own ends, and the game is about the pious hero's attempt to purge them in the name of decent oppressed servants of god everywhere

it literally ends with you teaming up with king richard who declares you a true servant of jesus and you go off to fight the final boss (a big bearded muslim) in his name. FFS
King Richard?

Holy shit this IP will never die will it? Considering there's an endless amount of Western historical settings to choose from (what's next? Spanish Inquisition, Russian Revolution, Cold War, Roman Empire, Classical Greece, American Civil War, etc), what's to keep AssCreed from ever going away or even evolving?
Remember Guitar Hero? They made a game, it got popular, and so they went on to flood the market with sequels and spinoffs until people were so sick of it that it killed the whole genre forever. I could see something similar happening with Assassin's Creed - maybe not killing a genre, but it can certainly kill the franchise.

You know there is always Call of Duty the 427th sequel if you want your fun killing the brown people as the white hero right?
Yeah, and I'm a KKK member for questioning manipulative bullshit.There were a series of complex events going on those times that are dumbed down to fit a narrative. Example: Slavery was a world wide phenomenon practiced by almost all cultures that had easy access to conquest. It wasn't anything related to race, you had lots of guns, your neighboor didn't , suddenly you got a lot of slaves. Whites made black slaves, black made black slaves, whites made whites slaves. What was in question was: Can a man own the labor of another man by force? Is that moral? If something is accepted by the majority of a culture, this make that moral?

There were a lot of questions being made at that time, slavery was a hot topic between europeans with them being the first culture to realize how immoral that shit was and being the first to ban it, there weren't any kind of discussions about it in the rest of the world with the europeans pratically waging a cultural war with the rest of the world to finally end that shit. I just get irritaded when games simplify that whole process to be retard proof: White people BAD, they racists, BAD, black people good, racism victms, go kill white people. That is just to appeal to the lowest kind of ignorant faggot.
You're talking like this only happens in AAA games. Every modern entartainment media does the same shit to force feed their ideologies to their consumers.

So, you'll have to read a book or research the actual history yourself if you want to see something suited for :obviously: audience.

Fuck yea, climbing around the Paris and on all cool buildings should be awesome.

The decline of the Assassins Creed franchise is in the players themselves and the decisions made by Ubisoft making last games playing demigod hunting deers and being a fucking pirate(!?) with shitloads of collectibles retards can enjoy wasting hours upon hours collecting. If you buy 2-3 games a year I guess it could be worth your money.
I guess this new gen type of play is not for me that wants actual gameplay and some content that isnt some chests littered over the map.

This franchise could have been much better off if they stuck to assassinations,stealth gameplay,climbing/parkour puzzles, historic world exploration and a decent story.
When playing an assassin I dont give a fuck about american wildlife or playing a pirate nor do I enjoy jumping in a group of 5-10 guards to press the awesome(tm) counter button to kill em all in slow mo. Making a majority of content that has fuck all to do with the Assassins Creed for the game itself is big step in the wrong direction.

I wasnt this critical before, but when you realise how far they have gone from the original idea its just sad. Playing a pirate majority of the game, taking over other ships and other derpy shit should not be in the game called Assassins Creed.

Looks cool, but I wouldn't mind another setting other than Renaissance-era type stuff. Something more along the lines of ancient Babylon, India or Hattusha would be awesome.

I want to climb around New York while the Empire State Building is under construction.

Also running around Europe during WW1 or WW2 would be boss.

You can already be able to climb around Paris in The Saboteur, with glorious black and white colors and Irish accent to boot :kfc:

Without a last-gen console version it might actually look that good (on PC), or close enough. Pretty impressive. I'm still bored to tears of the gameplay in this series, though.

the bad dudes, iirc, are actually a cabal of decadent manipulative atheists who are exploiting noble devout men of both sides for their own ends, and the game is about the pious hero's attempt to purge them in the name of decent oppressed servants of god everywhere

it literally ends with you teaming up with king richard who declares you a true servant of jesus and you go off to fight the final boss (a big bearded muslim) in his name. FFS
Um...no. Well, you're right about the Templars' motivations, but the Assassins aren't supporting religion either. Think about their creed: "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." That's pretty much the opposite of every religious dogma. It's more an issue of them fighting for freedom; Altair even says "They're free to believe in their delusions." If the two sides represent anything, it's order versus chaos.

It's interesting, because the only thing both sides can agree on is that religion is bullshit. The story confirms it as well, by revealing that The Ones Who Came Before created us and that Adam and Eve were actually escaped slaves who ran off with the "Apple."

The last 2 AssCreeds have been shitty due to taking place in colonial villages with little real parkour opportunities, but hopping and climbing around 18th century Paris should be a blast! I hope they bring back the tomb sequences, those were a nice change of pace from the rest of the game in the AssCreed 2s.

I won't miss sailing and naval combat, it got very repetitive in Black Flag.
