Different smaller teams work on the games with a sub-title (Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Revelations and now Black Flag). Assassin's Creed: Black Flag is quite possibly already in development for quite a while now. So don't think it's a rushed game. Assassin's Creed games never are. Well, Revelations was rushed maybe, or at least it felt rushed to me. Brotherhood was amazing though.CostinMoroianu said:
You mean Desmond's ending? Yeah, but you know, when DOESN'T a trilogy ending suck? Honestly, a shitty ending to a game trilogy seems to be the standard these days.LordFuzzyButt said:
But really, I never gave a damn about Desmond or any of his friends. I always played Assassin's Creed for the actual assassin characters (Altair, Ezio and Connor) and their own stories.
Well actually I was talking about Connor's, I don't give a rat's ass about Desmond either . While not actually that bad, it certainly didn't reach the height of Ezio's ending or Altair's. It felt like the end of a drama movie to me!Luc0s said:
Huge AC fan here, but I dislike this premise.
Assassins are not fucking pirates. If I get another Pirate of the Carribean 3 plot of pirates = awesome = assassins and law enforcement = bad = Templars, I'm going to puke. And of all settings and historical events, they didn't find anything better than the Carribean? I mean for fuck's sake you have the French Revolution begging for an AC game. How about the Far East?
And another male? We already had 5 games with a guy, enough already, I want a female assassin that's not relegated to a PS vista.
If it's the same writing team of AC3, then I have some faith. But I can't escape the feeling that they are doing all this to capitalize on AC3's naval missions and that's a horrible way to decide on a setting.

Just getting into this series with AC2, and I agree there are better settings than the Caribbean - Victorian London, Russian revolution, WW2 Germany. I also strongly agree that playing a female assassin (Matahari?) would bring a whole new dynamic, including different gameplay opportunities. I'm surprised they haven't done it yet.
AC2 is quite a bit better, nothing too special though. I'd rather just play historical assassins throughout history without the sci-fi twist, which I find odd. The writing is passable, but the characters have no impact on me and there's a lack of atmosphere in the setting. It doesn't really feel like renaissance Italy to me..too clean and pretty. The lack of a stealth mechanic is a big negative. I mean, this is an assassin game.Sirnaq said:
Tried it and didn't like it. Terrible controls and boring missions. Ironically I paid more for it than AC2. I think GoG has it overpriced.guipit said:
Disagree almost entirely. The almost is because I think this appies for AC2 and Brotherhood. But it does not apply to AC1, Revelations and AC3, which have a good plot, great story, and very cool characters.guipit said:
