Assassin's Creed: Rogue

I'm just going to assume that "noble and likable" is San Franciscoese for "nigger-loving communists". There's no way a pack of kike-puppets would produce anything that isn't NWO propaganda.

One of the few AC stories I liked since you get to see the Assassins are the biggest dicks and retards.

Also the ending as the Templars literally shitpost all Assassin forums and websites.

It tried to fix shit that is no longer fixable, look at fucking AssCreed Origins, didn't explain jack shit.

Is this the one with soulless open world, repetitive nofun combat and forced marxist themes?

Same game actually

Also in the several media they portray the Commiefornia Hipsters as the result of the Templar's long decade plan to the bring the ball of Socialism by having Stalin kill Lenin then using several Apple of Eden shits and orchestrating several events and creation of "false" Socialist Governments, they made sure the Assassin's back Socialist Philosophy is treated as a bad thing and a joke, and yes, this is all in-universe, this is how fucking delusional Jewbisoft is.

Thats kinda funny actually the Templars are the better ideal than edgy moral fags with cool butter knives.

thats all of them

I haven't touched an Assassin's Creed game since AC2. It's normie-tier Marxist garbage so I don't think I've missed out on anything.

Get thee away shill

it's a jumped up dlc for black flag that ubi had a minor dev group build since the ac France game wouldn't run on 360 and ps3
in other words it's okay, and it's much much better than the mainline ac game released that year

Origins does sort of suggest that Rome and Egypt fell because a couple of shitheads were butt-hurt about their dead kid and basically killed everyone that might have held things together.

Unity unironically has the best gameplay and world of the series and could have easily been the best AssCreed game if the story wasn't so shit, didn't have all those meaningless collectibles, had an Eagle Vision more akin to the first AssCreed, and had better artificial intelligence.

Not really an accomplishment

The Templars in this game are trying to stop the Assassins from finding some temples that trigger earthquakes, because the Assassins think these are some powerful artifacts that need to be safeguarded, but if they are removed from their resting place, the temple will activate seismic activity destroying everything around them.
Also while the Templars have one token nigger, its explicitly said that their members are slave-owners and displaced native americans. The Assassins are diverse as fuck, hell they have a native, a woman and a nigger as their leader.

Unity would have been fucked even if its release had not been a shitshow because it was the first one that was attacked by the (((usual suspects))) for not having a playable womyn character

Didn't like this one. Black Flag was playable because the open sea aspect at least broke up the monotony a bit (would have been shit otherwise), but this was pretty crap. Since then only Syndicate was sort-of ok. Origins was utter garbage.

Which 3 do you want Holla Forums?

The stuff you are describing sounds like it's making fun of hipster socialists though, what's the issue?

No.

In theory, both are valid outlooks: ideally, the Templars strive for stability and peace, and the Assassins freedom and liberty, but the former can descend into tyranny and oppression and the later into anarachy and chaos. But when you give people control they tend abuse it or at least try to retain it, which is why the Templar idealogy is more flawed.

Just somewhere in Asia. I'm tired of western settings.

Wasn't there some shitty spin off set in China?

There are other non-western settings oher then asiia. The pre-conttact americas, for instance.

Mesoamerica in the Classic period (200ad-900) or especially central Mesoamerica during the late-postclassic (1200AD-1519) during Aztec rule would both work well; pics related, as would the Andes during Inca rule (you had urban civilizations in the region well before the Inca but I don't think you'd get enough vertacality out of it prior to them)

That being said, after late-postclassic mesoamerica, a southeast asian setting in the Indochinese Peninsula would be my most wanted setting: Khmer and Sukhothai shit would be really cool, as would ancient china, mughal india, and as I mentioned Japan.

Yes, one in China, one in India, and one in the Russian Revolution, but as the survey shows they are still open to doing mainline games in those settings.

Check the expanded media, the "Fake" Socialism was a Templar falseflag through the decades with the Templars making Socialist Dictatorships to make it look bad while hunting down the Assassins with purges like the Soviet, Cultural Revolution, and Khmer Rouge, while the hipster commies are just mass-media produced non-threatening sheeple that the Templars created to make the Assassin backed commie philosophy to looked as an evil thing.

Can you post the actual sections that show that?

That sounds too retarded for even ubisoft to do

Read the entire thing, the rest were from some of the new books and shitty comics. assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Communism

by giving a set location and time for the creation of the assassins they kind of shot themselves in the foot for using pre-contact America and the inca, maya or Aztec at their peak.

Templars: We took over several nations and intentionally ran them into the ground in order to discredit a group of fuckwits in hoods.. so that we'd be able to be strong enough to eventually take over several nations.

Mechanically, as shit and bland as all the other Asscreeds. Story-wise, better than the others, mostly through not forcing you to play as a total fucking faggot. Overall, the game is shit, just not as shit as the other titles in this awful series.

Thanks for detailed sum up, S'cool. I want next Ass Creed for either China, Japan or Korea. Even though it might open the hellgate in Asia and we would watch AZNs eating each others on the internet about historical shits.

You'll be deported soon, wetback.

AC 'Nam would be an interesting departure.
Still probably wouldn't buy it.

it's been assumed that the series has to stay set before auto fire weapons in order to still work.

Ignoring that Origins literally had fucking machine gun arrows

The game was a cheap copy/paste of Black Flag made in a few months by a bunch of small Ubi studios from East Europe.

It was a rehash of previous Jesper Kyd's themes by some random sound designer from one of Ubisoft's small East-European studio.

Skull & Bones, made by an asian studio owned by Ubisoft. It's basically the naval gameplay from Black Flag with a For Honor multiplayer system. There was supposed to be a closed beta last summer but I've heard nothing about it. I think they've gone back to the drawing board after the failure of For Honor.

What we wanted:All the pirate and trading shit of Black Flag with the assassin creed bullshit removed.

What Ubisoft is making: a fucking forced online game that's clearly focused around multiplayer and is sure to be filled to the brim with microtransaction bullshit.

>4. Justinian the Great's Reconquest of Italy

If there's one thing we should all know about Ubi by now it's that they never give us what we ask for without a side of something we really really want gone.

I thought it was alright.

Don't forget the pozz, because you can't have an Ubisoft game without the pozz.

Well the reveal trailer already has a strong female pirate captain.

In the old ass facebook tie in back when the first game came out they established Cortes was a templar looking for pieces of eden in mesoameirca.
By setting it in the pre-columbian or contact era americas, you would need to diverge a bit from the assassin/templar plot and instead either purely make it about the pieces of eden and the Oiriginal Ones, and/oor a group of people not involved with the Assasin/templar conflict being thrust into it.

I'll take a look at it later.

I could see cold war shenanigans working well with the setting but I don't think vietnam would work unless they had the parkour purely happen with natural environments, and given what other anons have said Ubisoft handling communist shit might be full retard.

How would the Mongols work? They didn't really have cities AFAIK and most of central asia where they were generally around is flat as fuck, isn't it? All the interesting verticality would be limited to cities they sieged.

I'm not a spic and never said that the mesoamericans were overall superior to europeans; i've always been explicitly clear that they were generally bronze or iron age tier in most ways: Their metallurgy and maritime tech was Chalcolitchic or early bronze age tier at best, their mathematics and economics are bronze age level, military complexity and the arts was arguably/between bronze and iron age level, and their political complexity, legal/bureaucratic systems and social complexity are iron age level.

The only ways i've ever stated they equaled or surpassed much of europe and asia is in terms of hydraulics, sanitation/medicine, education and city sizes/population densities, which would be accurate: By 200AD some cities already had running water, sewage systems, and toilets, and the Aztecs in particular as of the 1400's had venice level waterworks systems, canals, aqueducts, dikes, and causeway networks in their capital and also used artificial islands to produce more land for farming or residential space when needed; in terms of education they had municipal, state run public education for all children; and even low class and female kids had mandatory admission; kept their cities extremely clean, such as in the Aztecs's case, via civil servants that cleaned it daily; aforementioned sewage systems. and even commoners bathed multiple times a week; and finally in that while the region as a whole had less cities and was less population dense as a result then europe or asia, what would be a small, medium, or large sized city in either of those Continent would also be considered small, medium, or large in mesoamerican and had equivalent population numbers, with the absolute largest city in the region (Tenochtitlan) being as large as the two largest in europe (Paris and Constantinople)

You are just going HUR HE MUST BE A REVISIONIST because you have dumb preconceived notions about latin american civilizations being unga bunga cavemen; and despite being skeptical have never actually probably asked me for sources on anything i've ever posted even though I always offer to. You;'ll also note that i've never just come into a thread and immediately shat it up with posting about how cool I think the region is, and in this thread, like others, i've only brought it up because it relates to on topic disscusion: It invariably results in me having to explain this shit because faggots like you derail it, as you just did.

The real world shit in Rogue was dumb as fuck. You're some random fuck that the modern Templars draft to do their Animus diving because they're too lazy to do anything themselves. Over the course of several in game days they let you come and go, hacking computers left and right uncovering all of their secrets between playing vidya. Then when you finally finish the life of Shay Cormac, Otso Useslessberg gets you to stick a video of the highlights of the guys life on a SUPER SECRET Assassin IRC which seems to be composed entirely of bored stoners making weed jokes.

Let me reiterate that, two agents of a millenia old conspiracy bring in a random stranger to do menial work for them so they (or rather, you) can spend several days putting together a weak shitpost. That's it. No location of a magic 8-ball they wanted to find, no picking you because your blood is the only one in the world that has the memories of Wanker the Mega-Assassin, no attempt to find an Assassin conspiracy. Just two lazy fucks deciding it'd be funny to shitpost for no reason.

Oh, and then when you reach the credits there's a scene where the Templars invite you to join their conspiracy while Berg makes the most most obviously unsubtle display of pulling out a pistol to shoot you if you disagree.

That Chinese Assassin is weird since shes literally Ezios last apprentice but they refuse to do anything with her for mainline series.

so is it worth getting on sale at some point for the co-op, or just pirate it? It does look kind of neat.

Ill take rise of rome, King Arthur, Iskander, aaand japan.

I like how rouge actually has characters who you remember, biggest problem with black flag was when they killed characters off and I couldn't even remember their names let alone care

At the very least totally not-Geralt showing up was amusing. I'm just glad much of that was in the part that could be mostly ignored. Worth a pirate only.

The fucking game starts with a screen touting how (((diverse))) the development team was.

Russian Revolution.

bumpu, I'm kinda wanting to play an asscreed game.

You'll understand if people have their doubts.

The co op missions are repetitive but if you still want to play it just get it off of some key selling site like g2a its probably really cheap.

I actually tried to play AssCreed Syndicate like a proper stealth game: no alerts, no bodies found, minimize kills, etc. It didn't go so well, I tried one of those missions where you have to kidnap one guy and take him to a carriage.

It's kind of ridiculous how fundamentally broken AssCreed games are for stealth.
Every AssCreed game has been pretty much the same for me: you try to be sneaky, the game shits itself, you kill everybody because getting spotted has no consequence.
There is no way to turn up the difficulty either so that getting spotted is fatal or something.

and the single player, how's that?

Last Asscreed game I played was 2 becuase it came with my graphics card. The game was so badly optimized it didn't even run well on it. The game ended up being too damn long, it just kept going on and on and on to the point where playing it became a chore. There was no challenge because you become so fucking OP.
That said
Classical Greece because I would like to climb those temples. However If I were to do a Classical Greek AssCreed it wouldn't have much building climbing. I would flat out rip off the plot of Jason and The Golden Fleece, have Jason be a violence loving Templar and Medea be a barely legal Assassin girl who was more or less kidnapped using a depleted piece of Eden; called a "Pit of Eden" like the pit of a peach, that Jason has, that Medea also has one of but she knows how to use it unlike Jason. Rather then play the game like an assassin and jump around and press button to kill, I would make a brutal brawler game where you can bludgeon people to death with or without weapons.
The post game mission, or DLC as Ubisoft makes them, would be a more traditional AssCreed experience where you play as Medea in Medea and kill the king, but you can chose to kill in with our without poison, taking a more hitman approach to assassination.

The plot is fucking dumb as shit.

Rogue's plot is possibly the stupidest out of all AC games and that's fucking saying something. They didn't even bother putting any subtlety or nuance in, they literally just flipped the Assassins' and the Templars' roles around.

Yeah, then Origins basically dropped all pretense that it's a stealth game instead of a third person action rpg. Not to mention adding magic sniper bows and arrows refill stations everywhere so that you can basically slaughter an entire base from long range while camped out on the outer walls

ain't that just the way.

He tries to explain it to the head nig, then all the assassins on the cliff side. They think they know better and that the reward is worth the price of life.

Ass Creed is a joke because of the open world Ubishit structure, and always will be.
It's why the single best game about letting you stab people while wearing an Assassin's garb isn't even in the fucking series.

In b4 someone tells me I'm shilling, the uploader literally leaks his vid on the TDM forums

Edward and Ezio are the best. It's been ages since I have played any AC, but didn't Edward say something like that the only motivation he has is money?

You are supposed to pick 3 out of the options listed, did you not pay close attention to the image or see that I said Invasion of the Americas AND Feudal japan and Russian revolution, not just the first?

Anyways, I agree Classical greece would be cool, IMO of the choices it's basically

God tier:

High Tier:

Good tier:

Low Tier:

Yeah pretty much, Edward gets dragged into the Assasins' bullshit quite reluctantly, then that fucker Adewale drinks their Kool-aid hard.
But like we see, once Edward has enough coin hoarded he leaves it all behind and retires to a life of leisure.

Edward is the most bland AC protagonist ever made. He is the guy who happens to be buddy with the most known pirates of the time. You could replace him with Forrest Gump and you wouldn't see any difference. Once the AssCreed plot takes over the pirate one, the game gets so boring.

None of the AC protagonists are in any way interesting or memorable. They're less proper characters and more cliff notes. At least GTA protagonists are people with proper motivations and emotional responses and character arcs, AC protagonists have none of that.

what?
But yeah, MGS4's gameplay is fucking fun. Shame there is so little gameplay.

The only asscreed I got enjoyment out of was the pirate one. I disliked doing assassin things, hated the game-interrupting apsergo shit and I just wanted to do pirate things.

AC4 was supposed to be a pirate game before Ubisoft killed it by attaching AssCreed like a tumor to it.

Rogue is the best in the series.

...

It's Ubishit so it'd be trash regardless but at least it would be a good change of pace from the European/Americas setting line. Every time they did that they always pushed more and more pozz into it as time went on, and looking at that list you can quite clearly tell what angles they would use to do the same thing in all those settings (joan of arc is muh stronk wymyn, communist overthrow is good and was orchestrated by the assassins in russia, invasion of americas was done by evil templars seeking to subjugate people, etc). At least in Japan they might have such a total lack of understanding with what they're doing that they're not sure how to inject their politics. Then again, this being the same company that just said "our team thought historical accuracy took a lower priority to gameplay inclusion so we revised something that wasn't actually this way because it was sexist" in regards to vases in the latest Asscreed, I'm sure they'll find a way.

I'd kill for a good, stealth based, open world ninja game, possibly with a non-shit nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor.

They'd make her a nigger too.

Already did that. Lenin was a good boy who dindu nuffin, Stalin was a Templar and ruined communism for everyone.

It would certainly be a challenge. Not much to pick. I mean, you can either make the Tokugawa the bad guys, but they're the ones that finally brought peace and stability after 100+ years of civil war, you could try to paint the Ikko-ikki, but they had a tendency to engage in brutalities just as much as their opponents, they can't use the Christians because Christianity is bad by default in their eyes, so they might as well paint the fucking Mongols as a force of progress and freedom.

The video is literally unlisted, is what I mean.

The only AC game i played other than the original. Pretty good. Might play the ezio games in the future, even if only for the lulz factor since i'm italian.

This made me kek hard.

They're all the same. You might as well skip them all and go straight for AC4 because it has a bigger focus on ship combat and pirating. It's basically the high point of AssCreed as a franchise. The overarching plot is dumb anyway so you lose nothing skipping ahead, unless you want to QTE punch the Pope in the face or lead around a brain damaged red nigger while wishing the main "villain" was the protagonist.

...

The first one made the series successful mainly because of the concept, the atmosphere, the feel of the game and the plot. There was a personality to it and they did a decent job with the worldbuilding. Combat, however, was very clunky, and parkour wasn't as seemless or smooth as it should have been.
If you're going to play any other AC installments, torrent ACII which does everything better than the first in regards to gameplay, or Black Flag because there are various things you can do that are entertaining. The actual storyline missions are meh and you won't care about most of them, though I will give it credit, they did a good job creating good characters. Minus the whole "Captain Kidd is a badass woman" bit.
Don't play any other AC games, pick one of those two if you're going to bother.

Thanks for the advice buddy boys

So, they completely missed the fucking point that people liked the comfy aspect of sailing around listening to sea shanties. Do they not realize that you can't have a comfy competitive game?

That's not what happened at all. They made a pirate AssCreed because the naval combat was literally the only thing people liked about 3.

1 was a neat tech demo, 2 and Brotherhood fully fleshed it out into a game with a fun story. Everything else is less good from there, to varying degrees. 4 is loved, but can hardly be considered AssCreed at that point.

That could be partially solved if they threw in mythical sea creatures and other such things of scurvy legend. Why not? Shit's a simulation anyway.

What do you see in the dark ages/king further? It seems to me like it wouldn't offer anything mechanically, conceptually, or aesthetically unique from Asscreed 1, except with more temperate environments instead of arid ones.

Granted, you could make the same arguement forr why I want the Invasion of the Americas so much when most settings/cities in late-postclassic mesoamerica, most notably aztec cities; when tthe spanish showed up would just like egyptian ones from origins but more temperate; but i'd argue there's a lot more you could do with unique mechanics and concepts there, as well as more environmental variety if they put wildnerness exploration as a focus.

I hinted at this earlier but I actually think it'd be more iinterestiing then this. Yes, Cortes is a confirmed templar, but he was looking for pieces of eden. The idea that a advanced state socieitey gets thrust into the asssassin/templar conflict when they had nothing too do with it, when they worshipped the original ones and pieces of eden in their own way, could be really interesting. You could be a third faction who is enemies with both the Assassins and the Templars, and one or two european's could be assassins to make that work, such as Gonzalo Guerrero, who was one of two Europeans who shipwrecked in the region years before cortes (the other became one of corrtes's translators) and became a Maya warlord

Alternatively, the game could end with Spanish arrival and they could not play much of a role in the plot at all, and the entire game exists outside of the templar/assassin conflict and solely involved around the region's own internal struggles over pieces of eden: Say, the Aztec empire is after a piece of eden in Tlaxcala terriory, which is why they had been wagging wars of attrition and blockades against it to conquerr it in Asscreed'a alt history, etc.

It was made pretty clear with AssCreed 3 that, without a giant sprawling ancient metropolis to run across rooftops in, no one will like the game. Ancient Japan is basically the only portion of history left they can do that with.

Vlad the impaler fighting off the Turks would be a neat setting, except Ubisoft wouldn't dare do anything that made Muslims the bad guys, plus theyd add some gay alien life draining macguffin to the story.

China and the whole two hundred years Korea was actually independent could also work. And you could probably do some interesting things with WWI trenches and parkur.

if u play as templars shouldnt it be templar's creed instead?

watched only parts of the clip without audio. That pirate girl is a qt. But I am sure that game will suck anyway. Do you play as that girl? I do like cute girls in my game, but I much rather play a male character who possibly get's to fuck said qt.

>The fucking game starts with a screen touting how (((diverse))) the development team was.
True, but I always assumed this was meant in a "don't get offended you little pussy" way, instead of the cucked way they actually do it.

That's Ubi in a nutshell
AC3

...

A bit too cute to fit in a pirate world.
You can chose whatever character you want.

They do this everytime so no one gets offended.

That's what I was thinking too. WW1 or 2, being able to navigate around the European cities back then, and jump in to the heat of battle now and then to take out key figures. They'd cuck out on the portrayal of the sides though, that's a given.

There is no such thing as "too cute". You either go full realism and remove this stronk womyn bullshit entirely, or you add some sexy/cute/lewd girls. Since there are girls in this game you may as well go full cute.

This
AC4 was my first AC game and it only went downhill after it

What? there are plenty of settings that have cities as large or larger then and more vertical then fuedal japan: pretty much every setting in other then vikings and the mongols would be as good purely in that regard. In addition to those, there's also ancient/medieval india, southeast asia as I said in , etc..

Feudal Japanese cities, AFAIK, weren't even that vertical. To be clear, I think the setting would be really cool; it's my second favorite option of all the ones in the survey, but most of their structures would be single or two storied, aside from palaces, castles, and towers, AFAIK: More or less the same deal that Greece or Aztec stuff has. I don't see why yoou think Japan would be better for city exploration then those. On the note of the Aztecs, If your comment was in reference to my comment about the invasion of the Americas, I wasn't saying that that setting didn't have massive cities to move around in, it does, pics here and in related, , I was just saying that one of the differences between an Aztec setting Vs Asscreed Origins (since the cities in origins are fairly similar to what Mesoamerican cities were like aesthetically) was you also could do natural exploration

And you are correct, natural exploration was shit in Ascreed 3, but it was fine in Black flag when it came up, and Black flag is set more or less just around the coasts of Mesoamerica to begin with: there's actual interesting vertacality and shit you can do in the jungles or coasts or mountain valleys. On top of that, Black flag only had small colonial town and that worked fine, and prettty much any town or city in the region that's not one of the smaller ones would dwarf those.

Originally, back when asscreed 1 came out, the statement was obviously meant to dissaude criticism and get people off their back since they were showing historical events in the middle east involving christian and islamic shit , over time it's just become them virtue signalling.

well remember in a lot of feudal cities it wasn't allowed to have a building that reached higher than the church spire. fortifications weren't bound by the rule ofc

should have been your last… this is the price you pay for joining late.

...

...

I'm not super knowledgeable about Japanese history, but wan't Christianity only really somewhat common in japan after it opened up in thee 1800's, and even then it never had the institutional power it did in the west?

Shadow of Tsushima is already coming out as a stealth/action open world nip game and it's being developed by a team that's actually competent. So no, nobody should want a Ubisoft open world game set in Japan.

Yeah, they would fuck it up badly. AssCreed in Egypt sounded good too, but look how that turned out.

Damn, i've always wanted a game like this. Nice.

Sure is normalfag in here

mfw dying light made a proper 1st person parkour system that embarrassed every asscreed game

Man this looks really fucking good, nice style, nice setting and all
It'll be shit

My understanding is the general consensus was that it's actually pretty good, intentionally making itself inaccurate to show girls in schools aside.

Infamous 1 and 2 are pretty good, Second Son was obviously rushed but had pristine gameplay. It'll be infinitely better than anything Ubi shits out at least.

It's been the most "ok" AssCreed so far from what I understand. By miracle of it not being a bug ridden pile of shit with a few new additions people loved it.

To be fair, I think that's fine: Asscreed's niche has always been using interesting settiings and applying a generic gameplay template to it.

It results in the games not being exceptional, but it allows settings and time periods you'd otherwise ever see get big budget titles getting them.

...

Where? Second Son has you play as a treenigger but I didn't see anything even remotely close to pozz in the game, you spend the last two confrontations football punting an old Hillary Clinton looking cunt across the room.

Their head developer spergs about muh police violence when Antifa vermin get the shit beaten out of them. He's a "rebel" cuck.

The main story is fine. There's relatively little We Wuz Kangs bullshit. The world is fun to run around in. Having a bunch of different weapon types makes the combat slightly more interesting. There's a merciful lack of assassins vs templars bullshit. You're mostly just a random dude with ptsd, killing his way through Egypt to get at the evil cult that murdered his son. Occasionally your utterly unsympathetic huge cunt of a wife (that the game wants to to think is super badass and important) shows up and makes you help her get her new girlfriend Cleopatra on the throne. Eventually Cleopatra and Caesar betray your asses, you realize your wife has no interesting in settling back down and making another kid, you both go your separate ways to make a secret order of assassins that decide to start chopping off their fingers just because you accidentally chopped yours off after the first time you tried using your stupid wrist blade.

Also there's some jedi holocrons that talk about math, simulations, reality and make vague suggestions that your new vr machine works differently than the old models and that the series will probably soon make it that you're actually quantum leaping into people's heads in the past rather than just viewing memories. and then game literally ends in the "real world" with Desmond's dad inviting you to the brotherhood and telling you to wait for a helicopter to come pick you up.

Then the DLC mission goes way up it's own ass with all the assassin wank that the vanilla questline skipped, and it's sounds like the last dlc will just be a fucking zombie mission.

It's worth pirating just to go run around in the map.

I really don't get how it got considered good. I'm generally not even that critical about most games that get trashed on here but Origins was a pretty uninspired effort. The side missions in particular really let it down.

med/meso/classical empires look so comfy

...

Am playing a bit now. They seem to have improved the movement system at least, made the combat a little more DS like. Setting looks aesthetic but they went and 'uglied up' most of the women.

Playing on a toaster though and fuck these devs that don't give you a proper config file to turn off the useless shit overloading my gpu

Nearly everyone in Origins is ugly though. According to ubisoft, half of Egypt's male population were chubby tanned soyboys with their moobs hanging out and Rome some how had an endless supply of freakishly tall orge like soldiers when most of them were suppose to be manlets.

Every AssCreed is an uninspired trashpile. The premise itself sounds fun enough, but every single time Ubisoft finds some way to fuck it up.

Take Black Flag as an example. Instead of making a pirate sandbox they ruin the fun parts by attaching AssCreed story and gameplay elements to the game. Now the narrative is shit and leftist and the game, outside of ship combat, plays like fucking garbage as enemies line up to challenge you 1-on-1 instead of ganging up on you, and the stealth is laughable, plus the focus on MUH REALISM means you don't get any fun paranormal stuff in the game like sea monsters, cannibal island niggers or ghost ships.

They did make some decent improvements, but the problem is that once you get about 1/3 of the way in the missions all seem to blend together into one. It literally felt like I was just doing the same thing over and over just in the different settings. Black Flag was like that too but at least took longer to get to that point.

That's an issue with most open world games. Missions mostly force you to do what you're already doing while navigating the gameworld, only with a few limitations imposed. Eventually, once you experience everything the game has to offer, it all starts feeling the same because you actually are doing the same thing over and over again, just that at the end of it you get a "Mission Completed".

the leveling system was particularly bad as well. Nothing like sneaking through an area, jumping off a rooftop onto a peon guard and jamming a blade through a his neck only to discover you only took off a tiny chunk of health because he's four levels above you.

How are the Chronicle spinofffs? The ones that take place in China, Russia, and India? Are they good for what they are/if I can get them cheap, or even as budget titles are they not that good.

2 (the first ezio game) was a big improvement over 1 butt i'm not sure how it'd be now. Visually at least it's aged a lot.

That sounds retarded, how bad is the pacing with the leveling? Do you need to grind?

The Aztecs (The Mexica of Tenochtitlan, at least, who is what most people are talking about when they are thinking of 'Aztec society"; The "Aztec empire" itself was the cities of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan in an alliance ruling over other cities as tributaries) at least had an insanely classist society with draconian laws enforcing the lower classes to not be able to have big houses or nice clothes or to be able to effectively accrue wealth and the like (there's interesting socio-political shit with how the merchant class was starting to gain influence and wealth despite this, which is pretty interesting)

I do agree that their cities look comfy as fuck though, pics related; but unless you were born into the mid or upper classes, you'd pretty much be stuck into being poor and unaccomplished for life. Granted, that's not that different from most ancient socieites, and at the very least you'd be less likely to get sick and die of diease since you'd still have regular access to clean water, bathes, and a way to dispose of your garbage and waste and your neighbhoor kept sequaky clean thanks to Tenochtitlan having some really insane sanitation and public health systems, but still.
