DarthDelgado Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Recently I've fallen in love with a little franchise known as Assassin's Creed. I think these games are just awesome. Its got a great story, great gameplay, and playing them is an overall fun time. These games even got Hideo Kojima's stamp of approval, because Altair's costume is unlockable in MGS4. I was wondering if any one here has played them, and what are your thoughts? Tell me even if you hated them, I love a good argument. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Nintendo Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I've only played the original and second Asassian's Creed and I gotta say I like both of them...I wish I could get AC: Brotherhood... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brotherhood picks up at the exact moment AC2 stops, and that makes it look and feel pretty much like the same game, but its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Inari Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'm a decent fan of the series, played and enjoyed all the games. Though the series doesn't dominate my imagination and I have to be in the mood to play Brotherhood's multiplayer, I still enjoy it very much.

Call me a dumb ass but I've never played Brotherhood's multiplayer. What's it like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Easily one of my favorite new franchises around. The amount of dedication, detail, and research in these games sets a new standard for history-based games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say its a history based game, but yeah I agree with what you said about the research to get the time down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Inari Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Call me a dumb ass but I've never played Brotherhood's multiplayer. What's it like? Difficult. Basically everyone who is playing is an assassin. You get points by finding and killing your marks, which are other players. And you get to use your usual blending and parkour tricks to survive, but the thing is, people are smart and can see through your ruse, and nothing says "HEY! I'M AN ASSASSIN!" like parkour. Look up some vids on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Well, I wouldn't necessarily say its a history based game, but yeah I agree with what you said about the research to get the time down. Its set in the Renaissance. And unlike OTHER games which make that kind of claim (coughcastlevaniacough), it tries to actually make an effort to accurately portray it.

You fight Dracula with a magical whip as a member of a magical, Dracula-slaying family. I dun think historical accuraccy is the series' top priority there, Rob. :B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW0LF Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Oh my goodness I love Assassins Creed! Epically the multiplayer of Brotherhood. You always have to laugh when you get a Assassin pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW0LF Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 You should give them a shot. Not only do they have good gameplay, the storyline is so well put together! Not to mention the little puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Inari Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Just try to play them in order. Not only for the story, but once you go beyond the first game, you'll never want to try to play it again. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I love the first one, I want to play the second one. In fact, that sounds good right now. Off to go assassinate some guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarita Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have the original. I haven't beaten it yet, but I like it well enough. I just don't get a lot of time to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just straight up mass killing and violence. Plus it has Altair, who's bad ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dun think historical accuraccy is the series' top priority there, Rob. :B And Assassins Creed is about a secret society of assassins and a rogue element of the Knights Templar waging a secret war against each other for control of magical macguffins left behind by super advanced god-alien-human-things. Not to mention Castlevania makes direct references to historical events at times: Lament of Innocence was set right after the Third Crusade, and Portrait of Ruin around World War II. But I digress, the point is while they're both fantasy stories, they choose to be in a historical setting. But of the two, Assassins's Creed attempts to respect that setting and adhere to it as much as possible, where as Castlevania just makes shit up. Also, Darth, as much as I love Assassin's Creed 1 for its setting, plot and characters, as well as raw brutality, the gameplay sucks hard. Way too redundant with an AI that cheats at every opportunity it gets. One of the only games that made me want to smash my TV, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyfang360 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I have played Revelations and Black Flag....though i wonder if there was any (game/tv/ anime etc.) that would be a amazing crossover to Assassin's Creed what would it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
