G The Generous Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 ^ both reviews on IGN and GS are really f*cked up if you asked me I have played the game. I can say that AC Brotherhood is AC 2.5, but saying ACR is AC 2.5 is really a hard thing to say. there are a lot lot of improvement from this game. and once you played it will be hard to quit the game. the story is awesome too. but here is what those reviewers said: IGN: MW3: same sh*t, different campaign and some new mode for kids - 9.0 ACR: same sh*t, but huge improvement about graphic, gameplay, many bug from previous game has been fixed - 8.5 Gamespot: Gorgeous, vibrant world with a lot to do... ...Tower defense isn't fun, Desmond sections aren't fun Emotionally fulfilling ending... ...Disappointing main story WTF? somehow I think this game just got an unfair reviews on both big reviews site. can say that I'm a AC fanboy, but not some type that married the game and have sex with it everyday. ACB was not a good sequel, but ACR? it's have many great improvement and a great story of 3 protagonists of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akavari Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Once they cover all the necessary plot points, I wouldn't mind the climax of the series to be set in the future where Desmond lives. The mechanics of the game would more-or-less stay the same, with parkour and stealth and executions, albeit with the introduction of firearms and contemporary technology. It would kind of be kind of like GTA if you think about it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G The Generous Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) ^ this game named "revelations", so it's true that many climax in this game will be revealed however you still have to catch some climax from Desmond story since it is the main plot for the trilogy and next year will be the last one. here is what I think about this game: graphic: it's a huge improvement, animations are very smooth, some of them is reused though. facial motion is using mo cap technology but they are not so smooth. AI and physic has been fixed, now you no longer need to worry about stupid detection system, buggy combat and bad stealth situation in previous game. graphic is impression and detail, Constantinople is large enough to make you think like you is actually in the game. gameplay: same sh*t: free running, stabbing people,... however there are A LOT of thing to do and side missions are worth to play as well as many good reward. game has changed a lot in fact, not many reuse stuff from AC2. now side missions is more advanced, there are many different situation and challenge you will encountered. now stealth is much more easy since the AI has been upgraded. main mission in each sequences is great and make sense (unlike ACB where Ezio spent most of his time to run around doing many worthless bullsh*t),some of them is interesting as well (disguise as minstrel for explame ) Desmond sequences is really good, it will revealed the past of Desmond and gameplay will change to puzzle first person, similar to Portal. sound: great voice actor as usual, great soundtrack from Jesper Kyd and no more reuse sound and music from previous game. so far what those reviews said is very opposite with what I thought. so maybe it is just my opinion ? I don't know but the game is actually good and deserve some praise as well Edited November 15, 2011 by badboy_zay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilnerLUFC Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Why isn't both fine? The timer is pretty lengthy, is it really a lasting problem in any tail missions? Well yeah, since as mentioned, it happens to be that you can be stood right next to the target, yet the timer still appears. It's unnecessary.

papanesta Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have to say, I love most games, but there's nothing like starting an Assassin's Creed game. Taking to the roofs always makes me feel like a child with excitement. Anyway, onto the seriously business, and serious spoilers, so you've been warned. I refuse to believe Lucy is actually dead. Funeral or not, they're assassins, they might be covering up for a reason, or Sixteen is manipulating what Desmond hears. We'll see. I wouldn't be surprised if she actually is, though. Kristen Bell had probably had enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbine23 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 IGN might be retarded, no they ARE retarded They said so many good things about the game except the new defense game and gave it an 8.5 That makes NO sense. In my opinion Gametrailers always had the best reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gta_fan28 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I just finished the game and all I can say is this is the best AC series. Now I understand why the title is Revelations cause this series is full surprises and twist. Superb story and great gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSeas Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed at first, but as I've progressed through the game, I've grown to love it. The setting is beautiful, the new control layout is functional (even though I kept wasting ammo due to forgetting that Eagle Sense is no longer triangle.).

Kristen Bell had probably had enough. Yes, I think Kristen Bell just wanted out, and that's probably the biggest reason Lucy was killed off. It's a shame, too, because I thought her and Desmond had a decent modern-day Adam & Eve thing going on. I also thought Desmond was supposed to find his 'Eve'? I guess that might happen in III All-in-all I felt this game was a tad rushed, and, like Brotherhood, the Ezio stroy suffered for it. Though Ezio's story in this game, along with Alatir's, made for a more emotional experience this time around. I haven't even played I yet, but I still shed a tear at Altair's skelton. Desmond's stroy, also like Brotherhood, was just a huge mind f*ck again. I felt very little was actually Revealed, but I guess that's they are saving III for. Early rumors are already suggestiong that III will take place in China. Anyone have theories of their own as to where (if there is one) the historic setting in III will take place?

mrpain Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 China huh? Climbing the Great Walls should be fun. I haven't got this game, I didn't even get Brotherhood. Having 5 AC games in the last four years really put me off. It's like they're treating this as their Call Of Duty. I hope they recharge their batteries next year and released the full version of 3 in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remix Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I heard it was going to be China too. I don't know about Revelations, I really think they've just killed the franchise after the release of Brotherhood. AC2 was in my eyes, simply a masterpiece. This moment: Ps7G0Qtw-TE&feature=related is still one of my best gaming memories and they had really nailed the gameplay whilst creating a gripping and interesting story. I lost interest within a few hours of Brotherhood and traded it back in. Now that Revelations here, and I've watched a few playthrough clips, it really seems like the franchise is losing the feeling that AC2 had created. It's a shame, but it feels like they're just trying too hard by adding cheap gimicks simply to "add something new". The cities feel the same, all the animations look the same, the story has become lackluster and tedious, the control issues are still present, and to make it all worse, every game feels like you are re-learning what you already know. Why can't you be rewarded for completing certain things in the previous game? I'm just venting, but I'd love to hear your opinions for those who still love the franchise and are enjoying Revelations. I just hope they don't release one next year, and that they take a year off to really create something good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlowe. Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I hope they recharge their batteries next year and released the full version of 3 in 2013. Well, for obvious marketing reasons, AC: III has to come out in 2012 - that's when the story will take place, and Desmond's story will end. And from what I've read, Ubisoft have had a seperate team working on III for the past two years, while another team worked on Brotherhood and Revelations. So hopefully III won't feel as rushed as B and R. I also read Brotherhood and Revelations weren't planned to be a yearly releases. They were "cash grabs", yes, but as far as "cash grabs" go, they sure gave you a good bang for your buck; two beautiful, emensive enviroments, fun gameplay and a great protagonist. They weren't bad games, even though they were a tad unnecessay story-wise, and repitive gameplay-wise. As long as each Assassin's Creed installment has a different setting, I don't care if they release one every year. If they are as well crafted and fun to play as theB and R were, I'll continue to buy 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSeas Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I finished the game having taken my time rather than ploughing through the story and all I can say is what an ending! It truly is a fitting way to close both Altair's and Ezio's chapters of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mati Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Just finished the main game. Best AC so far. Istanbul was a great idea, the city is more alive than in any AC game before. I agree with the post above me. The ending was very powerful and surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papanesta Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I finished the game a few nights ago, and yeah, the end is absolutely mind blowing. Think it's taken me until now to feel like I'm able to put my feelings into words. Ezio addressing Desmond directly then putting his hand on his shoulder was one of my biggest "did that just happen?!" moments in gaming. Was that even possible? I guess with the Apple, we don't know what is. Seeing what happened to the people that came before was terrifying, but spectacular at the same time. Just sat for the whole thing with my mouth open. I wasn't left feeling as empty as I thought I might. Ezio leaving the assassin order to be with Sofia suggests he learned from Altaïr's mistakes. I will miss these characters, though I still want to know why Lucy was killed. Regardless of Kristen Bell leaving, there better be a valid reason, as they could have done it multiple ways. They wouldn't have had Desmond kill her for nothing. Start of the next game is going to be very interesting. Is Embers set between Ezio and Sofia leaving Istanbul, and them returning to Masyaf?

Embers is set after Revelations. It shows the final moments of Ezio, who is now living with Sofia and his 2 children in the countryside, and fears that people are after his family. It really rounds up Ezio's story quite nicely, and gives him a final send off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Trooper. Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 To those of you who completed the game... Is the Desmond story important? I don't understand why they would put it in but make it optional, surely if it's optional it doesn't really affect anything/tell you anything important right?

Sunrise Driver Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Sometimes I think it shouldn't be include at all. Bloodlines was fine without animus and Desmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why they would put it in but make it optional, surely if it's optional it doesn't really affect anything/tell you anything important right? Desmond can hear certain things in the coma, so you learn what's happening through those sections. You also interact with Subject 16, who is of unknown sanity, unsurprisingly. The sections opened through collecting data fragments may be optional and frustrating, but were interesting to me, as I've always liked Desmond and the outside animus story. They basically cover his life up to where he was kidnapped, and give us an insight into the modern assassin order. Sometimes I think it shouldn't be include at all. Bloodlines was fine without animus and Desmond. If you're just going to troll, leave. Edited November 26, 2011 by papanesta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Trooper. Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Thanks papanesta. I got the game this morning and only played up to the bit where you gotta get the ferry to help that guy (can't remember his name ) fight. I'm liking it so far... I haven't played any of the optional things with desmond yet but I probably will end up doing so. I also find them interesting... I hate it when I miss any important bit of info in a campaign.

Blackadder. Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Is anyone else bugged out by Desmond's new face? I can't get past it, it's quite a big change from Brotherhood. Ezio's face is quite different too but at least that is somewhat explainable with the age and is hidden by the hood most of the time. But Desmond just looks weird to me.
