Carbine23 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just beat the game, f*cking fantastic. The cinematics were so well done and improved from the other games. It was really sad when i looked back and realized i have played through Ezio's life and have seen him grow. Shame to all those game reviewers who gave this game an average review especially after most have said it was the most improved game in the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder. Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I wasn't too thrilled about it either. Desmond's story goes nowhere in this game, the majority of Ezio's is quite pointless, the only interesting one is Altair and he gets the short end of the stick. The added features weren't great in my opinion. The hookblade was pretty handy yes, but I found bombs to be next to useless and the tower defense game to be frustruating (easy until the siege machine and then its nearly impossible). It got average reviews because it's getting stale. Yes it's quite refined and polished, because its the exact same thing it was 2 years (and 2 games) ago. I don't feel Ezio deserved a trilogy, Brotherhood was pushing it it but managed to work well by building off the AC II story and characters to provide a somewhat interesting story. Revelations just throws Ezio far away and then provides us with characters I didn't find all that interesting. Yes you could say Revelations exists to tie up loose ends for Altair and Ezio, but there's no reason they couldn't of given Brotherhood a bit more time and put it in that. Instead they spread out his story over three titles which leaves some of the middle sections feeling as if their only purpose is to bloat the series. And my god was Subject 16 a f*cking waste. I don't hate the Assassin's Creed series, contrary to most I actually enjoyed the first title. I was kind of worried when I heard they were releasing Brotherhood only a year after II, but it managed to feel like a well thought out game. Revaltions to me does not, it feels like a game produced on a short life cycle. I'm just glad we don't have to deal with Ezio anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaise Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just beat this game today and gotta say it was awesome. Altair's missions are really epic and gave us alot of info about him and the creed. Ezio's missions didn't really pick up until the 6th sequence, but once it did it just got better and better. The hookblade was a nice addition, I loved ziplining around the city and made climbing abit faster. Bombs were cool, but not really necessary and felt a little out of place in this game to me, besides the distraction bombs anyway, I thought they executed that bomb well. The only really bad thing in this game was the Desmond missions. They made me feel like i was playing a totally different game when i was doing them, and all we found out was about desmond's past. Plus they were f*cking annoying, I mean this is assassin's creed, not some building block game lol. but besides that it was great, the atmosphere was the best ever in an AC game imo. Plus the ending was really epic and left me wanting more. Can't wait for AC III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIKKS66 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 So yeah I got this as a gift for Christmas. Loved I and II but Brotherhood looked lame so I never bothered. Not sure if I should get Brotherhood and catch up before I move onto this or trade it in for something else while it's still worth something. Although trading in gifts is kind of a sh*tty thing to do /firstworldproblems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moth Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Having just complete the game and put all most a two days of gameplay in it, I am quite pleased with it. The ending was a bit of a WTF moment, but I still enjoyed it. Also I believe that the next Assassin's Creed game shall take place in 2012. It makes prefect sense, since all of the games have been building up to it. The ending of ACR even makes it even more likely with Desmond saying he knows what to do. ACII was all about having Desmond being ready for the up coming fight. Plus they find the f*cking main vault by the end of Revelations.

Tracksuit Hitman Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The game was repetitive if you ask me. The Assassins Creed games have been getting worse since the release of Brotherhood. Ubisoft are getting sloppy. Look at the multi-player too, it's like a replica of the Brotherhood multi-player, but with a different map and a few adjustments, none of which are major. If Ubisoft are planning to get more buys on their next game in the Assassins Creed series, they need to get off their asses and step up to what they were like when they released the first Assassins Creed; that will be a good game. aka geobst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertical limit Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 One major thing was that they excluded horses and it is like they are forcing to use the hook blade, I really hated the hook blade, I preferred the Double Hidden Blades by Leonardo in Brother Hood.

Gtaman_92 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I just completed the game last night, the ending was more of a bizzare type of moment. The game is better then brotherhood in my opinion and it was a perfect game to end ezio and altair chapters. I like the hookblade alot but i wish they could of included horses like in brotherhood because constantinople is a rather huge map. The storyline was average to me and it seems rather rush and thrown together to fit the setting and timeline. Overall this game was a huge improvement from brotherhood and i enjoy playing it.

Algonquin Assassin Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Finally I got my hands on Revelations today. Also can I just say one thing? This rendition of Ezio is the most badass yet IMO. He looks awesome all aged. I look at Brotherhood and Revelations similar to LCS and VCS. I see others have been complaining about the lack of horses. In that case I don't think I'll miss them that much. Having spent months playing RDR before Brotherhood came out when it did riding horses just felt sh*t compared to RDR. I only rode them unless I had to. Most of my time spent in Brotherhood was scaling rooftops and on foot anyway. Edited January 10, 2012 by Miamivicecity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just finished it myself. Is it me or was that the shortest game yet? Also there was nowhere near the same amount of stuff to do as in Brotherhood. I will replay next week but it seemed to be over in hours, not weeks like brotherhood.

papanesta Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It felt like a decent amount of time, but definitely shorter than Brotherhood. Collecting things does drag it out, but it's filler really, isn't it. I liked the new characters, the few that there was. Still need to start multiplayer, which I'll do after the remaining single player achievements, but after finishing, and being left standing on that roof, it felt appropriate to not play it for a while.

Marlowe. Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I didn't care for Constantinople. I feel likeUbisoft could have decided on a more interesting locale. Sure, it looked nice, but it felt really concentrated and narrow, as well as the fact that there was no surrounding countryside. II and Brotherhood had huge, sprawling countrysides, fitted with many villages and settlements. And the big cities themselves (Florence, Venice, Rome) were very layered and a tad more complex. Constantinople is just no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, you declared it inhabitable with fire and smoke but still, I would've liked to revisit it. Much like the 'Da Vinci Disappearance' locations in Brotherhood.

Algonquin Assassin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Up to sequence 4. Just a question where are these damn books kept once you buy them? I've been to the Assassin's HQ numerous times expecting them to be in the library, but to no avail. As for Constantinople I do kind of agree with everyone else. I mean the city looks amazing, but I definitely prefer the atmospheres of Florence, Venice and Rome.

Algonquin Assassin Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ok just finished, but the ending felt a bit abrupt IMO. I knew it was going end at Altair's library, but was a bit underwhelmed that the entire sequence ended so quick. The ends of II and Brotherhood were awesome, but despite the cool cinematic with the world ending it was a bit disappointing . I also liked the sequences with Altair as he got older. Especially when he was 82. Still busting heads. I love it . Overall the game was good, but it did feel a bit short. Looking forward to ACIII.

darthYENIK Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I just beat it, and although I enjoyed the partial love story and digging into Altair a little bit. Desmond's bit could have been better. Sure they allowed you to kind of learn about his past, but in those semi-retarded first person platformer levels. I would have rather seen Desmond relive his life in a more traditional flashback, than what they did. But all in all it still adds to the story of Desmond and the "present day" conflict. Oh and William M is William miles. Why didn't I see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthYENIK Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Once again it ends in a cliffhanger. That's a given. But it's less so in this game than the others, since you see the end of Altair's life and Ezio's life as an assassin. So the only part that's really a cliff hanger is in Desmond's story. Which technically doesn't really advance much, if at all from the end of Brotherhood. Edit: Just watched Embers. So sad.

Ash_735 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Recently finished this myself, yes it was shorter than Brotherhood, but damn, Ezio and Altair got such a brilliant send off, I am starting to get annoyed at the whole Sci-Fi crap though, ruined the ending AGAIN. After all the work that Ezio done, and finally coming to terms that he's done all he can and can now leave his Assassin life behind, etc, only for his last words in the game to be "Desmond, listen..." before being cut off and never talked about again was very annoying, yes we got Embers to show his last days, but if you just played the games only, then the last thing you ever see of Ezio is him saying "Desmond, listen..." before fading out to the Flash Gordon Sci-Fi crap. The Nexus Point was also bullsh*t, not for Altair or Ezio, but for Desmond, since for him, it apparently meant going in the OPPOSITE direction for him.

Basically this but other than that Altair idea you had, I can't think of many plausible locations/objectives to be a part of it. Maybe revisiting Firenze or Rome.
