Assassin's Creed: Unity

Ah, the old "I'll lie about taking birth control so he'll have to marry me after I get pregnant" trick.

Kotaku gave it a no and ign gave it a 7.8. Kotaku's intro is pretty funny

Ha, I got it free from an amazon credit I might just put it on eBay

Rogue is getting higher scores in some places,...this amuses me.

Almost every publication I've looked at is telling everyone to be ready for some pretty awful reviews.

AC is like Windows releases. Every other one is good. AC 2 and AC 4 were great. AC 3 sucked. I expect this one(AC 5) to also suck. A lot of it is the settings, the American Revolution/frontier setting was boring in AC3, and the French setting in AC 5 seems about the same. Hopefully AC 6 will be back to an interesting setting

Steam reviews are negative as well. The kotaku review pretty much confirms my suspicions about the uninteresting Parisian setting. Looks like Rogue is not available on steam.

Can always go to the future....or space. Or both

Best thing about Unity coming out is hopefully Black Flag will have a nice drop on PSN, or in retail stores (PS4). I only played about a hour or two and kinda liked it, but for the right price I would love to get more in to it.

The highest skill of samurai in combat was actually horse archery. Samurai were respected leaders. They were the noble class of Japan. The side game for Samurai seems like it should be political, governing territory. Perhaps you're given responsibility for some daimyo that are unhappy with the status quo, and have to pacify the area. Seems like they could give you a minor noble type background like Ezio had, but make actually doing your job a more significant part of the game. Have the portuguese/dutch traders be the templars?

Exactly. Samurai+Ninja (and hopefully kyuudo archers instead of rifles) is the only sensible path forward. Nobody wants to be a part of Les Miserables. The French scene could have been cool if it was during the Napoleonic wars, and you got to go to North Africa, back to the Caribbean, and other places around the globe participating in the battles. It would have kept the amazing sea battles/exploration, and would have had much more diverse and interesting environments. A game in India would also be cool, back when the Mughals still had control because they were still using elephants in battle.

Yea, I don't get the hate. This is all pre-Haussmann, so Paris should have tons of tight, dark alleyways. It should be a rogue's dream.

conan looks exactly like my family members when i try to explain assassins creed
