Beat it. It was awesome, insanely little present day story progression and somewhat short but was fun.

I dont think you really get to know your comrades as well in AC:R as much as AC:B and the armor looks alot better (brutus armor in AC:B was ugly as shit lol, good effort but bad execution)

I got "master assassin armor" (tied for best armor in game, the 'best' is only best because it never needs repairs) before half way through the main story because I got all the towers unlocked and den mastered up.

The issue with that is I wanted the sword by getting all my recruits max level, but if you max your recruits out they make your dens unattackable and the minigame of "defend the den" you do against templars was really fun.

Got a good chunk of answers about 16, Altair, Ezio, and the general assassins creed lore / world.

At the very end once you sync up completely you wake up with Desmond and you are parked outside the great temple essentially. I believe hinting that the NEXT AC installment will be almost completely Desmond?

I mean, they say all the other temples fed info to this one, and that they had already exhausted 6/7 methods they tried to use to save the world. There isnt much reason to go back into the animus with the current information given from past games. In theory this is where the last method of saving the world will be stored.

Granted, the last method could be something like "find the sword of eden and cut apple slices for all the people in the world" or something that gives us a reason to go back into the animus, lol.

for the record there are like 68 pieces of Eden left, the sword has been wielded by many through the ages (most commonly known as Excalibur, but was also wielded by Ghengis Khan and others) and there are plenty of other ones that could come into play.

Though again, that would require a bloodline connection and theres no plausible way that everyone in Desmond's family were all the assassins through time and he didnt know it. So in order for this "you are the chosen one, Desmond" story to play out theres not much that can be done.

also played it out, really amazed how good it turned out, honestly can't wait.

about armors: i've always been a huge fan of the altair age armors, like when he is at age 92 or in his younger age

[Deadmon]

I dont really like youth altair armor, its just a tad too plain for me.

I do like his old versions though,

[Xoza]

I always liked the white version with the silver designs.

[Krow Ames]

So, my girl speaks Arabic. "Altair" pronounced wrong throughout the game, lol, means "The flyer," not "Eagle," as Ezio does. Sagher is eagle in Arabic.

With that aside, I LOVED THIS GAME. The experience was amazing. Not on the same level as Batman: Arkham City, but still pretty amazing. Like... It's my favorite AC game of the series.

*SPOILER*

Also, does anyone know the song in the apocalypse video at the end? With the woman holding the baby? I got the soundtrack with my purchase, but it wasn't included, much to my dismay.

Heres how the game ends. Someone lives someone dies mysteries solved go back to skyrim.

Good game, shorter and smaller then the others though.

[Deadmon]

not shorter if you include the desmond missions in the animus.

I was a little upset with the lack of side quests so smaller is pretty accurate. There was really only 1 faction mission per faction and most others were like "climb this tower, find the spot with eagle vision, parachute to spot"

Well, even still, the Desmond missions were a nice add on but I missed the real world bits. The map was exponentially smaller too, plus they got rid of horses and the like.

[Krow Ames]

I expect ACIII to be a huge game, much like ACI was with like four cities, horses, loads of sidequests like ACII and ACII:BH

[Huttser]

Yeah, Revelations almost feels like a filler game.

[Deadmon]

revelations -was- intended to tie up alot of loose ends.

I expect AC5 (AC1: AC2: AC:B AC:R were main releases) to either be ALL modern world or like krow said, -alot- of travel and more like AC original.

[Krow Ames]

It'll be called AC3, though. Brotherhood and Revelations were sequels. But I did love the Apocalypse video at the end. That music is great, and is the music I linked earlier in the thread. Love that music.

[Deadmon]

oh, good point. They are likely saving numbers for new bloodline characters, seeing as all since 2 were ezio.

Either way, I think were going to get alot of real world stuff in 3, seeing as brotherhood left it open for RL exploration at the very end

with the whole being parked at the great temple at the very end when desmond wakes up

[Krow Ames]

Yup. Desmond is the crossroads of many different Assassin bloodlines, so he could have countless stories to tell in the Animus. I'd like to explore the Russian Assassins. Communism is the devil, but Assassinating people in Industrial Moscow could be awesome.

[Huttser]

Problem is they go much further from Ezio's period and you start encountering more firearms less swords, doing more then single shot flintlocks in the AC engine would appear to me atleast, to be hard.

[Krow Ames]

But the assassins are bound to have some new gadgets, or even use firearms themselves to some degree.
