Man, I know people are always down on New Vegas DLC, but I would just like to make it abundantly clear that the survivalist journals in Honest Hearts are badass as all .

Also,

Seriously? Dude, Connor is one of the worst characters ever. I'll give it to them for making a seriously historically accurate game, though. They even manage to portray British history dickheads accurately. That game is a ing mess. I didn't even know about half the side-mission shit in the game because a prompt never came up telling me how to do any of it and I had to retry a remarkable number of missions due to my targets magically disappearing from the world.

My biggest problems though is that Achilles' death is NOT part of the main story and that my ending was broke as . I never got a prompt telling me about Homestead missions in the game, so I never knew to check back at my home more often than I did, so I TOTALLY missed Achilles dying, which (after I looked it up) I decided was not only a nice, touching moment, but was clearly a KEY PART OF THE GODDAMNED GAME. And when I say my ending was broke, I mean the last two things you do (seeing the British troops leaving and visiting your deserted tribelands) were totally broken. I got a mission failed halfway through riding my horse to see the British off and then the game freaked the out and had me visit my village, then visit Boston to see the British leave.

Oh yeah, MONEY MAKER MIKE!

He baller as .

Oh snaps yo I didn't know there was more to Achilles' death. I just got the cutscene of him dying and then connor buries him

That's mike he's been krispy kreme's friend since they could crawl.

Welp, shouldn't have clicked that spoiler.

Or that one.


It's like I don't learn.

Can I just spoil the ending for you? Btw if you don't need to youtube how to the beat the final mission I'll be impressed.

What platform did you play on?
I never had any of those technical problems

Connor is definitely a deeper character
than either altair or enzio combined.
but I can see how people might not like him

My real interest is your complaint of not receiving in-game prompts to do stuff.
Is that really necessary? Its all on your map
And theres a detailed encyclepedia menu detailing side missions, collectibles, ect.

The fact that there is an "Animus" makes any sort of story in the AC series pretty ing stupid. See the ending to AC2, oh lord that was a complete ing mess.

So far the only redeeming quality I have found in the AC series is that the MP is damn fun until there is some super leveled asshole playing with lowbies.

J-cart, can I make a custom class called "animus"?

I want to be a a bugbear animus.

I disagree completely.

The Animus is one of the few reasons I actually like the AC franchise. It's definitely not because I like Ezio. If you just made a game that was AC2 -- the GTA:Renaissance Italy that it was -- and you took out the ridiculous plot twist ending and the reason for the conflict (racing templars to get the golden apple) I probably would have stopped playing halfway through.

Hell, the ending to AC2 had me dreaming of what sort of epicness the next AC game would bring... and instead of any of it, we got Brotherhood, where it was more of AC2 plus multiplayer. And then they continued to beat that cash cow with Revelations. When they finally said "oh, people are getting tired of this shit, let's do something new", we got AC3, which is still, as far as I can tell, more of the same in a different setting.

If you want to know what I was hoping for after AC2, I've put the gist of it in spoilers here:

After the "whoa, holy shit, he just did all that to see the prophecy and it was something incomprehensible to him in the fact that it was intended for Desmond" combined with the "make Desmond do some climbing and such and begin to show bleed through of the Assassin abilities", I was really hoping the *next* AC game (preferably 3) would have been Desmond and his crew travelling all over the world, trying to get to all the sites that were on the map... maybe having a metroidvania type system of some sort perhaps?

Like "Oh, where do we go first? Mayan jungle? Tibet? Japan?" and you pick one. Then you get a crash course in some relevant assassin to that area... so a ninja or samurai in Japan, who knows for China/Tibet time period, ancient Mayan warrior in the Mayan civilization -- and while in the memory, not only do you get varied locales and missions from the past, but the point would be that whatever skill/item/whatever that Desmond took from the memory you could use in a modern day mission to try to retrieve the artifacts.

I thought that sounded a hell of a lot more interesting and fun... but then again, I'm usually in the minority, liking games that people hate and hating games that the masses adore, so it probably would have been a financial failure for Ubisoft.
