BF2S Forums [Assassin's Creed: Revelations]

there's your problem right there

series got 1000x better with the second one

Wow, more Ezio? I liked AC2 and Brotherhood a lot, but I feel his story is pretty much told at this point. Ditto with the time period.

It is interesting they say "third and final chapter in the Ezio trilogy" because the AC series as a whole was pitched as a trilogy before the first one came out.

Yeh. I mean I will buy this and play it and enjoy it I am sure. I just think they have lingered on the same time period and protagonist too long.

How the fuck do all you guys play soooooo many different games?? I barely have enough spare time to play some Eve and PR when can.  I am 38 though...

Would you believe I've never played a minute Halo, WoW or CS?

join the club, bro.

as for AC:R, sounds meh. I just hope they develop more of the Desmond storyline. Ezio is supposed to be, what, 45 at this stage? Back in the 16th century, thats pretty old.
Spoiler (highlight to read):
but I guess he is half human half them, after all

looking forward to running around in Constantinople

I may end up skipping it if this one is even better.

Brotherhood's great. I loved Florence but Rome is even better. Plus MP is very, very underrated.

Yeh if you liked 2 then Brotherhood is just more of it with better combat and a new (really good) city.

I really want to play this, however I did not play AC1 or AC2.

Reckon i could get away with just playing AC3 on its own, or do I really need to buy Ac2 at the bare minimum?

yep really loving AC2
