I'm sure most of you have already heard, but I'll leave this here for those of you who were oblivious like myself. x.x

Apparently they're going backwards in history a little. Should be interesting.

[Acolyte]

Excited about the game, but sad that connor isn't getting a sequel.

[strike]

it's annoying that the only reason connor isn't getting more screen time is because all the reviewers thought he was too stoic compared to ezio. totally unfair comparison.

[Dwarra?]

Connor sucked though

Connor sucked though

I'm also hoping that instead of Desmond we get to play as someone who isn't an emotionless sponge.

[Acolyte]

Well, to each his own. I personally thought Connor had a lot of great characterizing moments, especially with the homestead missions.

[Dwarra?]

Yes silly goyim, I'm sure that you did.

[EvilM00s]

Dammit... now I gotta go get the last one, cuz I'm not about to miss out on Assassins AND Pirates.

[chewey]

zzz

[Moss.]

they should take some time off

[haloOfTheSun]

Wasn't Assassin's Creed 3 released just last year

[Holkeye]

They need to finish the story before people stop caring 3 games ago.

[Malson]

they should take some time off

that's no way to make money

[Moss.]

If we were talking about EA, I'd laugh heartily. But I actually really like Ubisoft Montreal. I mean, people complained about DRM in their games, and they were like "okay, we'll get rid of it." And they make fun games. So they're cool in my book. Even if uPlay is utter garbage.

But I still think they should settle down, or get ready to let this franchise die.

[Malson]

I just hope they don't forget about Watch_Dogs in lieu of Assassins of the Caribbean.

[Moss.]

It's pretty much the same game anyway.







okay not really i'm really excited for watch dogs

[Holkeye]

Wait, I thought uplay is drm though. I mean, you can't run your game unless you're in uplay, right? Am I wrong about this?

[Dwarra?]

No you're right to an extent, my roommate wasn't able to play Assassins Creed 3 until we got internet since he already registered the game with uPlay.

[Moss.]

I registered Assassin's Creed: Revelations once, and it let me play offline plenty of times after that.


Talking about always on DRM, here.



You know, the kind that currently destroying the new Sim City game.

As the fourth largest video game company in the world as of 2009, Ubisoft studios employs the second largest amount of in-house development staff in the world and has several divisions and offices throughout the world

I'm pretty sure they can handle working on more than one game at a time you guys.

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

[strike]

There are like 9 different ubi studios

jesus christ arl you sound like a kotaku troll

[Moss.]

I don't understand.

The Sim City DRM nightmare is common knowledge; it's all over reddit.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations doesn't have always-on DRM. That's an actual fact.
The line completely in italics wasn't exactly serious.
neither was the line without caps or punctuation

[Acolyte]

I just don't get the contention. You guys act like releasing a game each year hasn't been a common practice.

Between 1987 and 2002 there were only five years that didn't have a final fantasy release. And I'm sure most of you agree that most of these titles were good ones.

All I'm saying is, if they release quality titles, what's the big deal?
