Be Excellent To Each Other

Is that real?

Will it be better than revaltions that I have got bored playing?

Red dead assassin?

So it's the Betsy Ross flag. Means it's set in the 18th century? Does that tie in with whatever ridiculous storyline there's been so far?

Ass Crud continues to be a game I wish I liked, then. That image is a belter.

Yeah, it makes me want to go back and finish the first one, even though I found it quite dull after a while.

I really enjoyed 2 & brotherhood. Revaltions bored me, but I will go back to it.


I hope this is more like 2 & Brotherhood.. I really do.

Apparently set during the revolution. You play a native American man.

Not much scope for runny jumpy climby fun in the badlands, I fear.

Why not Victorian London? Hmmmmm??

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper taught me that there are only three roads in Victorian London and they're all badly animated.

Hmmm. As DavPaz pointed out, the Yanks aren't exactly known for their ancient tall climbable architecture. Wonder how it's going to work. Regardless, I'm excited to see a new scenario. As others have said, Ezio got boring the third time around. Not that I've played Revelations yet. It took me long enough to muster up the "give a shit" to finish Brotherhood. Still, I did really enjoy II and Brotherhood, they were just too similar and considering the amount of content that was in II, I didn't really feel like doing it all again.

Really need to get & play AC Revelations

Officially official Ubisoft coverart.

erm... if it is cheap i would pick it up

Kill those evil English! Kill them dead, Ezi-um!

Ass-assasins Crude

I expect this will be as good as that other American Creed.

Oooh!

So this game is front-ier than the others?

Sounds nice. Apparently your character is called Connor and is half Britlish and half Mohawk and all man who likes rare electronic meat books bacon washing machines michelin stars.

I don't know what's more ridiculous, the fact the main guy still wears that ridiculous and conspicuous hood; or that once again, we take fascinating periods of history and make them appeal to chavs by letting you play a hoodie who rampages around stabbing people and doing parkour.

What would be wrong with doing a proper historical action adventure? Why does it need all these incongruous 21st century elements and sci fi bollocks?

Sean killing Gestapo officers and climbing to the rooftops of Paris to blow up guard towers made sense in the context of The Saboteur. The Resistance might not have commandeered prototype tanks but the whole game didn't take itself too seriously and such excesses weren't the focus.

Learning about how that blockhead Desmond's ancestor went running up to Lord North and stabbed him in the neck before doing a backflip out the window is just stupid.

Welcome to 2007! I can send you the winning lottery numbers if you like.

So the end of Revelations was pretty much,



It's no wonder people hate Desmond so much, a character who has pretty much sat for days on end playing a videogame. Him and the gamer haven't got anything in common.

Yep. Assassin's Creed has all that chav parkour stuff because it's a game and that stuff's fun. A historical simulator would be your character grovelling in the soil to grow failing crops before starving to death, dying of cholera, dying of TB or dying of smallpox. Where you have to batter "A" to take your last gasps.

It's far cry 2 all over again.

I once played a game where I was a plumber and I was jumping on the head of some fucking crocodile or something. It was ridiculous. Quite why it wasn't a spanner turning simulator I don't know. The plumber was wearing a right chavvy beret as well. Must've been made for gypsies.

If Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a historically accurate action-adventure game, I'm living in the wrong universe.

You're talking about Oregon Trail, of course, a game which seems to occupy the same place in American gaming subconscious as Granny's Garden does for Brits.

This is on my want list... I better finish Revalations at some point..

They just don't get it, do they?

Craster and I tried the most recent one on Sunday. After a dull unskippable cut scene, our chap had to walk along a beach for five paces for another cut scene. Then we walked to a shiny thing and another cut scene. Then we turned it off.

Is that what they're promising more of?

It certainly appears so! Never mind that the most appealing thing about the game is scaling ye olde cities as a bad ass assassin. Instead we want you to walk about a bit with a stupid rucksack on as the most boring character in gaming ever, chatting shit to the most hateful cast of supporting characters ever.

Beex: The Game.

Zing!

I've got a feeling they're hinting on at Desmond actually getting to do all the assassin style stuff in present time. When they first suggested the games as a trilogy they were saying the third would be in the present, they've also said its the last game for Desmond unless there counting the fifty spin offs of this one. But you would imagine Desmond would actually get to do some assassin shit himself in his own lifetime.

Assassin's Creed III sequels depend on fan reaction to new character Conner

My fucking arse you lying scumbags. I'll bet a whole one pounds that Assassin's Creed III: Sisterhood is already in development.

Assassin's Creed: Genesis.

Either a prequel, or the story of one man who kills people without a coat of any kind.

Assassin's Creed: Generic.

The tale of Desmond and his grey, boring life.

Dawson's Creed: Aging man posing as student uses parkour to scale homes in rural hamlet and sneak into young girls bedroom where he suduces them with psycho-waffle about films.

Assassin's Greed: Cash Cow. Milk, milk, milk.

Assassins Bleed: Impossible game in which the guards finally work out that anyone wearing a bright white, outrageous and incongruous hooded ensemble among the shit covered peasants is obviously up to something, and kill you immediately.

Jacob's Creed: Desmond stays home and gets ratted on cheap nasty red plonk. Forgets about cyber terrorism and has a wank in the 3D booth thing.

Assassin's Steed: Play as the descendant of Connor's loyal horse. Run wild and free in the hills, biting idiot cyclists.

Lord of the Rings: a game based on the Lord of the Rings.

Assassins Freed: play as Nelson Mandela and his gang of black and therefore presumably criminal cohorts, unleashing a swathe of terrifying vengeance on wealthy white men across the savannahs of whatever famous South African place has the best savannahs
