I am utterly in love with the series; abit jaded by how lame the last narrative was, but hell the gameplay ways killer. So this is now the AssAssin's creed thread.
I really enjoy the series too. Never touched AC3. Always bugged me how they never took away the penalty for killings innocents once you'd finished the campaign in the games after the first. I am very much looking forward to Black Flag.
I wonder how they are going to manage the 2012 storyline.
There was a penalty. desynchronization
I know, but the desync penalty gets removed after the completion of the story in the first Assassin's Creed, allowing you to go to town on the civilians without having to worry about desyncing, however in all the sequels the desync penalty is not removed at any point whatsoever.
I really like Assassin's Creed, played and finished them all except for Assassin's Creed 3. The gameplay was really good but for me it didn't grasp me like the other games.
The graphics optimalisation is horrible. It uses about 33% of my first 7970. 0% of the second. It supports eyefinity, but with 33% GPU usage I get about 10 fps. (I am talking about AC3)
But the gameplay is awesome.... But without a dramatic overhaul of their engine, they will implode in my eyes in PC - gaming!
I'm keeping my fingers crosserd hard for Black Flag; I'm really curious too see they even know what 8 core support means, if they cant even support a half GPU!
I wish there was a workaround for that but the civilians rarely offer any challenge. In AC2 and Brotherhood, I liked to roam the town pickpocketing people in hope of getting into a fistfight but that's it.
Well I beat 4 last weekend, damn school getting in the way of beating it the first night. All in all, fuck yeah!!!!! I've been waiting to damn long to be a pirate. I was hoping to do that in 3, so when they announced it I was a skeptic. Now I forgive them. I hope the next one is announced sooner than later. We all know it's comming.
