Re: Epic-exclusivity

FYI Ubisoft have their own subscription service since September, Uplay+. Costs $15 a month, maybe less for the first month.

Gotta admit, Vikings being good guys triggered me too. And again we have the English being portrayed as the bad guys. Fuck 'em.

Would rather have another Assassin's Creed: Rogue which showed the assassins to be cunts and the Templars as trying to maintain civilisation.

Just wait for Ubisoft to bloat about diversity and choose your own story and choose who you want to fuck, then force you to have a baby with a random dude out of nowhere in the DLC again.

You deserve it if you are a male and played as a female :D

I already have to be a male in real life, I don't wanna have to play as a male in games too

There are a lot of shit I can't be/do IRL that I get to be/do in video games, being a woman on top of that would defeat my purpose but I guess its just my purpose

History experts, would a man only suffer minor injuries by getting slapped in the face by the edge of an axe?

There's probably some twist like in one of the previous games like "You're the templars"

Yup, no mention of Steam in the preorder site. That Uplay/EGS combo must be working for Ubisoft, since noone buys games on the EGS, so they get most of the sales directly on their own platform

I remember that 8 years ago I was actually excited about Assassin's Creed 3. However, I forgot to actually play it and I completely lost touch with the series.

Why is this game still a thing?

 

[kangaxx]

I thought the last one was a bit of an abortion to be honest. My hopes are anti-sky low for this one!

"Players will be able to choose to play as either a male or female Eivor..."

Only two genders?

PS. The possibility of having the option to help the Saxons would be pretty , tbh, but it's 99.9999% probable that Saxons=Evil Templars as far as the game's plot is concerned.

after seeing how they handled spartans vs athens, "I'd rather not choose at all"

The story and lore of the Assassin's Creed games are the most vapid, modernistic dredge imaginable and people who seriously invest themselves in that shit are idiots.

AC 1 and 2 were full of hidden, esoteric stuff that was honestly pretty fun to delve deep into, even as a teenager
The rest was a letdown, agreed

100% chance out of 100 male players choosing female play as a female because they want to enjoy the body of their character.

Wot? This is 2020 boy, the era of hot videogame women is over, you will play as a man or androgynous man, what is your choice?

Ubisoft is less woke than CDPR.

 

[sullynathan]

If you buy it on Xbox One digitally, you get the Xbox Series X version free.

Wait, are you saying Odissey female character isn't hot?

Ikr, these wankers are okay with CDProjekt and their shemale in a swimsuit. But it's AC that's the problem. Though I do agree Quebec is shit, but Montreal is genuinely good.

Seriously. Why are you and you bunch of wankers in this thread if you genuinely don't care and hate the games to this extent. I go bitch about the Witcher 3 because at a base level I love the game and want it to have good gameplay. Here you wankers come spouting everything is shit and form your own circle jerks without any actual reason given mind you and wank about in everyone's faces? Like why?

 

[JarlFrank]

I love the Ass Creed games for historical parkour and stealth kills, but I always hated the modern part of the story, all it did was get in the way of my historical parkouring. I don't give a shit about Desmond and the animus, I give a shit about having a chat with my bros Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolo Machiavelli and climbing up the tallest building of medieval Rome.

You need to activate/use Uplay no matter where you buy it, so I've always just bought their games on Uplay anyway. Avoid adding DRM on top of DRM.

Can’t wait to see all the different hair styles you can have in the game!

CD Projekt and their recent politics can go hang themselves for all I care, but at least you can make the argument that that shit would be there in a dystopian cyberpunk future . Assassin's Creed take's a dunk on real history and doesn't just do it for plot reasons, they do it to appease social justice cronies. Case in point.

I didn't do specifics 'cause frankly I didn't care. I wasn't making an argument I was stating what I would call a fact and you would an opinion. I don't give a shit if somebody like Jarlfrank wants to enjoy a stealth-parkour, whatever the hell kinda game with a thin historical coat of paint, but fuck you if you think I can't take a rightful shit on your sacred cow of a franchise because it hurts your fee-fees.

Since you are playing an Assassin again you shouldn't be allowed to harm innocents, which could mean there will be less freedom of choice.
I really want to know how the Assassins came to the north since their bases before the crusades were around the Mediterranean.
Sadly graphics haven't changed much looks nearly identical to Odyssey.
Anyway, it's fascinating how Vikings became the good guys recently media. Still excited for the gameplay trailer.
