Basically the title. Old game but I finally got it on sale, I don't care about fighting for the invading brown people, especially when I'm roleplaying as a Rennaisance-era Christian European. What were they thinking.
AC1: I'm an Arab ninja taking out Crusaders currently invading my homeland. Great.
AC2: I'm a rennaisance Italian ninja in a blood feud against another family of rennaisance Italians. Perfect.
AC2B: I'm the same Italian ninja liberating Rome from the the invading corrupt Italians. This makes sense.
AC2R: I'm the same Italian and I'm siding with the Turks in crushing the remenants of Constantinople. What. The OBVIOUS choice was liberating Constantinople from invading corrupt Ottomans. Byzantines who, wait for it, would have called themselves ROMANS at the time. This was so obvious, what were they smoking.
EDIT: Everything else was great though. I enjoyed the cutscenes and the Altair-Ezio-Desmond finale. But the gameplay story (ie most of the fucking game) was ass.
Based and DESYNCHRONIZED
You realize that the assassins in AC are basically freemason Jews, right? All of those stories are extremely anti-christian.
AC revelations is the game that made me realize the assassin’s are the bad guy. Oh and in the DLC they make Vlad the Impaler a Templar. Vlad is a national hero to Romanians because he freed us from being subjugated by the Muslim Turks. So if Vlad was a Templar then the Templars aren’t the bad guy in this story.
Exactly. They frame the pious people as evil masons while you assassinate them as "one of the good guys".
Would explain why the character in this game, in an almost literal way, is opening the gates to the invading army. Jews historically are prone to that behavior.

Comment Approved: Wrong, but not a rule violation.
Are you fucking retarded?
'The Order of Assassins' is literally pulled from The Order of Assassins.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Assassins
That's an Arab-Islamic sect that spread absolute havoc over the Islamic states in reprisal to the sacking of their castle.
If anything the 'Templars', though they take their name from The Knights Templar, purposely take from only the worst propaganda about the Knights Templar, while also exploiting and applying the conspiracies surrounding the Masonic Temple to form a weird secret order of people hell bent on controlling the world.
You've literally inverted the entire concept. The bad guys, are the Templars, who are modeled after the conspiracies regarding Masons.

Still wrong (especially for claiming that time & reality altering conspiracy with alien gods is "extreme historical accuracy"), but the actual violation here is claiming that the purpose of jewish story telling is subversion in the ongoing race war the user claims is happening.
Right, they don't claim historical accuracy at all. They just get tons of puff pieces in the press about history, like these:

Look at what you are taking seriously: GamerRant, Mashable, The Guardian, Medium, and Ubisoft.
Magic is not real. Alien gods aren't real. The Crusades are not a Templar conspiracy to summon an alien god to take over the world. Please stop.
The story of AC is unironically closer to real life than “anatomically modern humans sat around jerking off in caves for 290,000 years until inventing agriculture 10,000 years ago”.
Sure, I guess, but I could say the same thing for anything else I just made up.
If you want to complain about what you think the timeframe of the development homo sapiens are through the stone age, that's fine, but don't be reductive as it won't help your argument.
I think you're confusing the big lies with the little ones. No one cares about the big lies. They're laughable. It's the little lies that are insidious, such as Leonardo DaVinci being a homo, Ben Franklin being a sex crazed deviant, or the Sultan of Constantinople being an enlightened liberal secular humanist. Those are the kind of lies they want people to simply accept without realizing it when presented in a "historical" fiction.
Sure, then bring that complaint to the AC that took place in Egypt and had a tutorial level for classroom demonstration. That is where that complaint lies.
Everything else you're pushing is bananas.
Imagine playing Ubisoft games.
I just started playing the better AC. Fires of Rubicon.
Ac6 was real slick. Felt great to play, controls were solid, gameplay was smooth with no bugs. Lots of git gud moments.
Definitely. I find that I really suck against enemy ACs. Maybe I just have yet to figure out a good way to take on higher-mobility opponents.
Partially build issue, partially skill issue. I struggled with some faster mechs because I wasn't using the right guns, or I was miss timing the bigger guns I was using. Usually you can time shots and wreck the faster ones.
And now you know what it's like for a Chrono Trigger fan to play Chrono Cross.
That game wasn't actually bad, it was just a mess trying to tie the story to the original chrono trigger
Now going from xenogear to xenosaga...
For me the biggest slap in the face was the constant sound of people's giddy laughter in the background. Contrast it with the previous games, where everyone is constantly crying, wailing and yelling "DIIIIIIIOOOOO!" Yeah, they really pushed hard into making Ottoman Turkey, possibly the most aggressive and xenophobic place of the age, seem like a place of universal love and empathy.
Ubisoft games suck, this isn't anything new lol
Why the fuck would you willingly play an Ubisoft game?
Yeah that was one off the weakest plot wise, character wise it was fantastic thanks to Ezio and more back story on Altair and the subject before you but overarching plot did not hold out at all.
I'll still give it props though for it's multiplayer, I had a TON of fun in that as they got the perfect balance to reward stealth and stalking targets as well as using your head and being creative.
Catholics sacked Constantinople and led to its ruin.
Yes, because of Venetian treachery, and they placed it under Catholic rule, so it was at least still Christian. Helping muzzies sack it a couple hundred years later and subjugate all the Christians living there would be a bit worse.
They basically just pillaged it and left it weak and ruined on purpose because there was a lot of antagonism between the papacy and the orthodox church. Regardless these ubishit games take it even farther, I agree.
You should play Rogue
Its the only ass creed where you are allowed to play as the good guys
you have nobody to blame but yourself. Assassin's Creed has not been good since the first one.
Hey! hey! I would have you know that game was Inspired by historical events and characters. This work of fiction was designed, developed and produced by a multicultural team of various religious faiths and beliefs!
I assume it's because something something templars like everything.
Hey, wait a minute...
No you're not. You're an Arab who is part of an assassin's guild, which is actually spurrned by most muslims irl, and you are being hunted by a Templar disguised as a crusader. In this secret war, you are actively murdering arabs & europeans because the Templars are playing both sides of the conflict and intentionally causing the crusade & counter-jihad as a way to take over the world.
One of the utilities of this narrative is that no side can actually take offense because the real bad guys are actually part of a secret organization on both sides.
I mentioned in a comment the other day that I haven't bought an Ubisoft game in over a decade -- the last one was the Prince of Persia reboot that came out in the 360/PS3 era. It was like they Disneyfied the Prince of Persia formula and made it impossible to lose.
Sands of Time and The Two Thrones were both pretty great. I've probably played through Sands of Time at least 10 times. Warrior Within's combat was so damn tedious that I've never replayed it, despite trying on multiple occasions.
For me, I gave up on Ubisoft games when they started requiring you to get a UPlay account and register it and play it with their launcher even if you bought it on a different platform. And not only do they have the additional launcher, but from everything I've read they're still struggling to figure out Offline Mode with said launcher.
