| Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:43 AM PST Just finished the game (I didn't even know the game existed until a few months back). I absolutely loved it, I haven't enjoyed an Assassins creed game this much since AC 2 trilogy. It was amazing to play from the Templar perspective for once, and it really helped to make you immerse yourself in the game more, as after playing like 10 games from an Assassins creed games from the Assassins creed perspective it gets a bit repetitive. Hopefully they make more games from a Templar perspective. [link] [comments] | ||
| Favorite Assassin That Isn't Ezio Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:42 AM PST I fucking love Ezio but so does almost everyone else. I wanted to give more attention to Assassins from the other games as I feel they really do deserve it. For me, I really like Bayek of Siwa. His character is so well done in Origins. He's not another generic protagonist that feels like an outsider in his own home. He surrounds himself in his culture and faith. His constant devotions to the Egyptian Gods is very refreshing. Plus, those Post-Assassination scenes are glorious and are great character moments for him. "The Lord of the Duat awaits" So good! Also how about some love for our favorite turncoat, Shay Cormac. Before I thought the idea of Rogue would be a mistake but the way they handle Shay's turn to the Templars was very well done. It wasn't sudden, but a slow and steady turn to a side once considered sworn enemies. Even as an Assassin, before the tragedy that caused him to leave, he was still rebellious, fighting and questioning the higher ranks. [link] [comments] | ||
| What are the best Assassins creed books to get into? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 11:26 PM PST Also what order do they come in? I don't really know much about the lore to be honest and wondered where would be the best place to start [link] [comments] | ||
| The cult of Kosmos is quite different from Templars/Order of the ancients Posted: 31 Dec 2019 12:41 PM PST Templars always wanted control by exploiting the Isu artifacts to gain power and control, but the cult of Kosmos wanted to eleminate the bloodline of the eagle bearer which is kinda weird because they could have been really powerful but they wanted both Myrinne and Alexios/Kassandra dead, it's a cult and let me give you the definition of it : "a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object." The templars/order of ancients wanted to control the entire world and put aside all religious differences between them (like turkish muslim templars& mostly christian european templars) to get to one goal: power. And before you tell me the cult of Kosmos wanted control, they already controlled the Greek world and i don't remember hearing them about controlling other nations (correct me if i'm wrong in the comments) the cult had already controlled the greece so all they wanted to do is shape the country in their own picture. And at last, the eagle bearer already destroyed the cult. [link] [comments] | ||
| How is Origins in comparison to Odyssey? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 09:38 PM PST I know a lot of people on this sub don't like either because it strays from the originals. I've been a fan of the series since the beginning and I didn't play Origins at all. In fact, I only recently got Odyssey. Mainly because it was on sale and while I don't think it's the greatest Assassin game, I think it's still pretty fun in an action adventure sort of way. The main reason I loved Odyssey though is that it deals with a lot of the fantastical themes straight from the beginning. You can get powers people comment on straight away and say, "Is he a god!" or something along those lines and see some truly terrifying beasts if you go off the beaten path a bit. And the Atlantis DLC is full on fantasy. Plus, despite how limited the choices are or the stats are, I still enjoyed the very very lite RPG elements, again, despite how shallow they are. Would I like it if I like Odyssey? And if so, can you go into a little further depth as to why? [link] [comments] | ||
| Let’s revive Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s multiplayer! Posted: 31 Dec 2019 08:12 PM PST Not only is this mode insanely fun but you actually need to play it in order to get this game Platinum as there are a few trophies/achievements which are near impossible to get as the player counts are so low. So how about you guys drop your GT or PSN's down below and we create a community of players back on this great game. [link] [comments] | ||
| Should Ubisoft re-release some old games for Android and iOS? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 04:11 PM PST I mean old mobile games such as Altaïr's Chronicles, Bloodlines and Discovery. I get that Altaïr's Chronicles is really a forgettable one but its gameplay mechanics actually fit in mobile platforms. Also, Discovery was really a fun game to play and Bloodlines's story is important for the canon as it explains how Altaïr and Maria got close to each other. While I was writing these, I also remembered Project Legacy and Memories but let's be honest, almost nobody played those. I'm truly sorry if it's already been discussed before by the way.

| Assassin’s Creed Destiny: A hypothetical Assassin’s Creed game set in the South Dakotan Black Hills Posted: 31 Dec 2019 06:46 PM PST This will all be done on mobile, may god have mercy on my thumbs. Let me start out by saying that I don't know much about the lore of the series and I haven't played AC 3 or 4 yet, which are probably the two games that would tell me about most of the stuff from around this time period. There's probably some piece of information out there that makes a game in this setting impossible, but then again, this doesn't have to be an actual thing, it's just a concept I came up with for fun. You may be thinking to yourself, why the Black Hills of all places? Well, from what I know, Desmond Miles grew up there in a place called "the Farm", along with about two dozen other Assassins. I'm sure most of you already know this, but this piece of lore really intrigued me. The main reason I'm making this concept is purely because I am a South Dakotan and I'm so happy that because of this series, people actually know this state exists. I've been to the Black Hills multiple times and I think it would be a great environment for an Assassin's Creed game. Americans reading this (and maybe some others) will probably have heard of Mount Rushmore, a colossal mountain sculpture featuring the heads of three of the most influential presidents in American History, and Teddy Roosevelt. Mount Rushmore, if you didn't know already, is in this region and it is the only reason people have ever heard of my home state. But my concept takes place half a century before Mount Rushmore was even beginning its construction during the 1870s in a massive gold rush. This gold rush brought in double the amount of people than the much more famous California Gold Rush in the mid 17th century. We're going to start off by talking about the setting of this hypothetical AC game, and how interesting a game set there could end up being. SETTING When most people think of South Dakota, two things probably come to mind. Mount Rushmore, and the flattest most boring place in the entire continent. As an eastern South Dakotan, born and raised, I will be the first to tell you that this is 95% true. That other 5% is the Black Hills, a random mountain range that is right in the middle of the endless sea of prairie that is the Great Plains. These hills (which are really mountains) are up to 40 times older than the Rocky Mountains and have some incredibly bizarre land formations that you will not find anywhere else in the world. The Black Hills are named after the color they seem to be when looking from afar. This is an illusion created by the giant Black Hills National Forest (yes, South Dakota has a National Forest) and the light shines just right on them to show a color scheme of dark red and black. As for climate, it's not too far off from the rest of the northern midwest, but I have heard that the largest city in the region, Rapid City, gets more sunlight a year than anywhere in Hawaii. I'm not sure how true this is, but it does get very hot in the summer sometimes. Mount Rushmore is a lot less impressive when it's 100 degrees outside and the entire family is miserable. My favorite part of the Black Hills is the Needles. Near the southeastern edge of the Hills are some of the strangest formations you will ever see. It literally looks like needles are coming out from the ground, except they are made of rock and are taller than New York City skyscrapers. In the middle of the Needles is Needle's Eye, one of the biggest of these in the area, which has a hole going through the top, just like the eye of a normal needle. Southeast and west from there you will find Wind Cave and Jewel Cave respectively, which are the 3rd and 2nd biggest caves in the USA. These caves were a huge part of the gold mining in the area. We're not done yet, as setting is not just place, but also time, and level of conflict. The 1870s were a mostly unimportant time for America. The US had just gone through their needy toddler phase, Manifest Destiny (hence the name of the concept), and the Civil War had been over for half a decade. Westward expansion was about to die down, but all of a sudden, gold was rumored to be in Dakota Territory (present day North and South Dakota) and people were moving westward at almost record rates. Throughout most of westward expansion, the one thing that prevented the US from their goals and simultaneously made them look like the bad guys (which they probably were) was Native American tribes. They are the reason that Manifest Destiny was so controversial and what I believe to be why a lot of foreigners see the present day country as the bad guys in a lot of situations. I want to make it clear that I have nothing against Native Americans and their culture, and I actually feel a little sympathetic for them as a whole and wish that we had found another way to expand without conflict. Speaking of conflict, we've finally arrived at the last pillar of setting. If it wasn't obvious enough, the main conflict of AC Destiny would be white settlement versus Native American culture. General George Armstrong Custer and his men were the first to expedition in the Black Hills. Two years after his arrival in South Dakota, he started the single biggest conflict between whites and Native Americans that we have record of. The Battle of the Little Bighorn was a horrifically bloody battle in southern Montana that resulted in the death of almost 300 people and General Custer himself. Started by Custer's army, this battle was one of the saddest things our country has ever done, and it really did our country a disservice. This battle will come back up later on, so with the setting finally wrapped up, it is time to explore the story that I think would make this game incredible. STORY (note that I am much worse at writing fiction than nonfiction) Did you think that you somehow stumbled away from the AC subreddit into some weird National Geographic website on some random state no one cares about? I don't blame you. The rest of this post will be about the game, I swear. I can think of two ideas for characters you could play as. The first of these is that you are a Native American being terrorized by Custer and his men, somehow related to Connor and Desmond. The second, much cooler option is that you are a white American in hopes of finding gold in the Black Hills. It would be incredibly controversial to be fighting against Native Americans so we'd have to get creative in conflict with this option. Despite that, this is the character I'll be running with throughout the rest of the story. The tutorial of the game takes place in a forest along the Missouri River after your carriage breaks down. This shows the basic mechanics of the game, as you find ways to repair the carriage and carry on your journey. When you get the carriage back up and running again, you and your family set off toward the Hills, the camera pans upward to the sky, the mountains in the horizon, and the title shows up across the screen. Sadly, as much as I would like to go this in-depth with the rest of the story, it would take a lot of research that I really don't want to find because it would take too much time. I am also, like I said, really, really bad at writing fictional stuff so I'll go over the plot briefly and then we'll get onto gameplay. You arrive at the Black Hills and settle in a town you may have heard of called Deadwood. One of the first quests is to go mining in a local cave and while you are in there you find a secret Assassin hideout and get jumped by the Assassins that inhabit it. They tell you that Custer and his army are part of the Templars, and you swear into the Brotherhood after you learn that they have captured your family. I don't know if it's that easy to get sworn in, but I'm going to say that because he is related to Connor, it is much easier than normal. The rest of the map finally unlocks from here and the game is spent fighting Custer's finest men in hideouts scattered throughout the mountains. There would be a lot more to it than just fighting Templars, but because I am so bad at coming up with a good story and writing stories in general, I'll just skip over the rest until the ending. There would obviously be a good few twists and turns in the story but ultimately the final mission is at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. It is like a conquest battle in Odyssey but 4 times bigger, a lot harder, and filled to the brim with war stories and emotion that drives the length of the battle to over an hour of play time. You kill Custer in the end, but it's too late. Your family has died, setting the game up for a potential sequel, or just leaving it at that for an emotional ending. You may have noticed that I've avoided talking about something very important until now. This is the modern day storyline. Once again, I don't know all too much about this, but it would consist of Layla trying to learn more about Desmond by going into the Animus in his perspective at the Farm and switching between that and the main storyline. I almost feel embarrassed to put that story out on the Internet because of how bad I am at writing stories, but now let's get back into my comfort zone and into the gameplay of Assassin's Creed Destiny. GAMEPLAY The game will be more like Origins than Odyssey, but closer to them than anything else in the series. Technology is getting so advanced to the point where I wouldn't doubt we would get the whole 5000 square mile Black Hills region in less than a decade, but maybe it's for the better if we stuck to about the size of Odyssey's map. Weaponry would be heavily dependent on both Wild West Style guns and melee weapons that the natives would use. The hidden blade is still here, and instant one hit assassinations are back. Ammo would now be looted from Templar corpses or bought at blacksmiths. A bow and arrow would also be a necessity if you wanted to stealth a base. Gold is the main currency here, and it would be measured in ounces and pounds instead of just having that amount of gold. You wouldn't have very much gold at any given point, but prices on items and such are downscaled to make them not too expensive. A side quest that is more of a separate main quest (kinda like the Cult of Kosmos from Odyssey) goes through a bunch of history from the Isu age and leads you inside of what is now Mount Rushmore to give you some cool Isu gear. Speaking of gear, armor exists in this game, but at a level similar to the Ezio Trilogy, where you can see it on your character, but your Assassin uniform and hood are always visible. Seasons would be real time. If it is winter in real life, it is winter in the game. This is because South Dakota's seasons are very distinct from each other and I felt like I had to include them. You have a bird companion again, and this time it is an American Bald Eagle. There would be 100 feathers scattered throughout the map like in AC2, and you could use Eagle Vision to scout out where they are. Each province shows you how many feathers are there, but you have to go around using your Eagle Vision to scope out where they are. I think that section was just as bad as the Story one. I should really just stick to nonfiction from now on. If you made it this far into the post, include the word "chicken" in your comment and I will give you a free updoot. CONCLUSION In conclusion, I'm not totally sure if this is a good idea or not. I really just finally had an opportunity to talk about my home state and took advantage of it, but it actually makes complete sense. There are two downsides I can see with this game. The first of these is that this wouldn't do so well financially. A big part of Origins' and Odyssey's success was their setting. Playing a game in Ancient Egypt or Ancient Greece sounds a lot cooler than playing a game in the 17th century South Dakotan Black Hills. The second reason is that this is too controversial to be in a video game. This is not only because of the inclusion of Native Americans, which can be controversial on its own, but this could also just be too recent to be in an Assassin's Creed game. Custer might have descendants somewhere that wouldn't be too happy about this game and I can respect that. Maybe in 2100 this could be the next big Assassin's Creed game and no one would have to worry about it. The only way Ubisoft will ever make a game like this is when it actually is 2100 when they run out of ideas anyway. I'd like to hear your opinions and what you think would be a good setting for the next AC game after Ragnarok or whatever the cool kids call it now. And almost 2500 words later, I can call this post complete. [link] [comments] | ||
| Where can I find out enough about the Lore to 'get' Black Flag? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:59 AM PST I bought black flag to be a pirate, but I'm starting to like the meta story a lot too. The cult manifesto sticky notes, the fact that I'm working for the bad guys, characters I recognize from when I almost played through Revelations. All cool, but I just don't know enough about what they're talking about and I feel like I'm missing out on a good story with some trippy sci fi stuff. Is there a recap of the meta plot anywhere that can get me up to speed? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 31 Dec 2019 09:35 AM PST This doesn't have to be about any specific game/feature/character, but it can DEFINITELY be about any specific game/feature/character if that is what you miss the most! Feel free to add your own features and elaborate, or debate, but keep the toxicity to a minimum please and thank you! One thing I really miss were the segments of gameplay that were set outside of the animus. The intrigue and character value Desmond and his crew's story gave always kept me excited for a chance to play the present-day crew's missions! Even when Desmond dies and we moved away from them, I really enjoyed the Abstergo Employee perspective in Black Flag as well. Those were some of my favorite moments in the franchise as far as lore goes. [link] [comments] | ||
| First assasins creed game in a while (origins) Posted: 31 Dec 2019 03:22 PM PST Hey everyone. I played 2 hours of origins on pc when it came put but really needed to upgrade processor so I returned it. I just bought it last week during the steam sale and am about to start it (after upgrading pc earlier this year). Any tips I should know about? I do plan on taking my time and know this game will take a while since I like to just walk around a lot and dont get to play everyday. Happy new years! [link] [comments] | ||
| Odyssey Daughters of Artemis - no chance for romance? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 02:28 PM PST Have been playing through Odyssey and just started working on side quests after finishing as much of the map as I can without moving forward with the main plot (I stopped at the point where I got the boat and was supposed to set sail for Megaris). Had seen guides referring to romancing Daphne, but there's apparently no option presented for romance if you've already killed all 8 of the legendary beasts before meeting her. Oh well... will be interesting to see just how much else is different from completing things in advance. [link] [comments] | ||

| Have switch issues been fixed? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 12:43 PM PST AC3 Haven't gotten the game yet because i read there was a bugs that made it difficult to play and that there was some fixes. How is it? [link] [comments] | ||
| My opinion on the modern day in older games vs now Posted: 31 Dec 2019 08:55 AM PST It just feels like not a lot is happening, and what little is going on the player has no control over. In AC 1 and 2 Desmond spent his time in the Animus to look for Pieces of Eden. In Brotherhood Desmond and crew find a massive structure made by the First Civilization and discover that the world is about to be destroyed. In Revelation you find out where to go to stop it and in AC 3 you do that, which results in Desmond's death. After that... You've been working on a movie, played some games in-universe, got hacked when you were working on a movie, and went looking for Atlantis for some reason (I skipped Origins so maybe I'm missing some important context). There's still some stuff going on in the present, but you as the player don't actually get to do anything. You maybe get to walk around a hideout as Lyla or around an Abstergo Entertainment office as a nameless, faceless, unimportant employee. With Desmond you explored ancient structures, actually found Pieces of Eden, and parachuted into a high security Abstergo facility. Desmond also had a likeable crew around him. The banter between them was fun and felt pretty natural. Whenever someone in Lyla's crew talks they're always way too serious or when they try to be funny they get told to shut up. Anyway, what are your opinions of the modern day stuff now compared to the past? [link] [comments] | ||
