Assassin's Creed

Come on, it could be fun!

Don't worry Pheonixflame, I don't have any plans for you. That means I don't need you alive.

Half the time I try to kill a guard with Phantom Blade the asshole moves at the last second. -_-

Can't say I have, though more because Ubisoft decided that it can't be bothered to deliver my copy on time and it'll be here the Tuesday before Thanksgiving when Dragon Age: Inquisition arrives.

Wonderful...

I seem to be unable to activate The Body in the Brothel murder mystery. :(

I believe I have found the actual location, but the body is nowhere to be found.

Check the center of the earth, might have fallen through the floor.

Really don't get the point of the Disguise skill. You can only use it if the enemies are close enough to spot you and if they spot you you can't use it and the Disguise deactivates if you do anything other than walk sloooooooooooowly around.

Well, this is the series that made it a capital offense to calmly and peacefully exist within the line of sight of the local law enforcement. Disguise is basically Altair's superslow monk/scholar blending that nobody used unless it was mandatory.

I used it in other situations.

Any of you Assassin's Creed players having trouble logging on to Uplay or other Ubisoft sites at the moment?

They seemed to be down this morning, but they started working again while I was playing Unity.

Does anyone know why you can't link Unity to Initiates, yet?

So I have played all the games up until Revelations.

How good are AC 3, IV, Unity and Rogue in comparison to the Ezio Trilogy?

3 is good, but Connor is difficult to like. IV is awesome, the sailing is amazing. Unity...idk, as I haven't played it.

3 was one of the best in the series in my opinion with some of the best writing, but its a far cry from the hammy humor of Ezio's days. Its very serious and thematically driven in places.

IV is generally thought of as good and trying new things (though I personally very much disagree), but it can be frustrating that it seemingly has little to do with Assassins and Templars and the core plot.

Rogue is good if just dated and short. Arguablly more tightly written than Unity.

Unity is.... very mixed.

I like Rogue so much. In fact, I just can't help but think that Shay is so like Red Hood, or should I say, Jason Todd, because they both turned from good to evil. Despite this, they believe that becoming evil would control everyone's situation in a very 'anti-' kind of way.

My god I am so effing frustrated by not being able to collect a Arctic Hare pelt. Seriously. I go to Burgeo and I'm only able to surmise that they're located in these high parts of the place and in Lewisporte the same problem arises.

Can you guys tell me what I'm doing wrong? which walls am I 'pose to climb to reach the high place where the Arctic Hare's are at?

Just finished Unity... Anyone feeling major Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy? Outside of Elise, Napoleon, and Mericourt, there was really no one I liked. It really made the Assassins look like complete morons (they could have at least inquired about Germain before tossing Arno out) and the game certainly did not make me like the Templars either so what was the point of it all? As for Arno, I feel like his story constantly jumps around and doesn't let us take the time to really feel his character or understand his relationships. Like he goes on about de la Serre and Elise but not enough is done early on to make me care about them as much as he does.

Also, about the ending did Arno rejoin the Assassin's again or is he part of Napoleons army? Considering the asshats who run the Assassin Brotherhood, I have no idea why they would suddenly let him back in.

As for the gameplay, it's fun when it works, but man are the control so imprecise, not made all the more easier with the enemies now seemingly having Eagle Vision because of how easily they seem to spot me no matter what I do.

Kotaku's Rogue review

tl;dr: Must buy.

I'm enjoying Rogue way more than Unity but right now all my time is taken up by Dragon Age.

Anyone here play on PS 4? I tried doing a co-op mission, but it turns out that trying to do that with a random person just results in aggravation and lack of planning.

I do, but my time is kind of torn between this and Little Big Planet 3. My ID is the same as my username here though.

My username is drno84 but most of my time is taken up by DAI and Rogue.
