I just wish that it had gone the route of Desmond using all the skills that bled into him after all of AC2 and it’s expansions into being a modern day Assassin.

Desmond is the most underrated Assassin's Creed character. Modern Day haters ruined the franchise imo.

@owenleal 3 месяца назад

No, I think Ubisoft ruined the franchise by neglecting the modern day portion of the story and making it incomprehensible whenever they did include it.

@brodie8040 2 месяца назад

Ubisoft ruined this franchise. I've played almost every AC that's come out on the main consoles and Unity was a breaking point for most of the old fans. Their commitment to yearly releases did the most damage. Instead of making us wait for games and polishing them, they decided to be greedy. Ive played the three newer games too and while they're fun and big they try to do way too much and origins is really the only one I would say is close to an actual AC game

@MachuSayTruck 18 часов назад

I'm surprised anyone thinks of him as underrated, I fell off of AC after 5-6 games because yes, Ubi ruined it. But I always thought that everyone understood that Desmond was the single best character arc. Hopefully AAA Studios will go back to what Rockstar has always done with GTA. Release games when you have something amazing, not because the last one was a year ago..

Lucy was planted at abstergo by William Miles on a deep cover mission. Vidic knew right from the start that she was an assassin. Vidic turned her and she became a double agent. In short the reason why Lucy turned was because she felt that William had abandoned her as she had been on her own for so long.

@TemLightKiBlade 10 месяцев назад

They had such a perfect ending for AC III, even if it wasn’t the plan from the start, it was there. It should have been possible for William to step up and take his fathers place. The franchise is full of fathers and mentors failing there sons and students. Breaking that cycle and saving his son would have been perfect for William and Desmond. Thus letting a new one begin with Desmond as a mentor and master assassin and Juno unleashed. Wouldn’t have had to change the future games, they eventually went the route of just needing blood dna for the animus and IV was one step from that. But they wanted to remove Desmond and decided to make a poor ending to the story as a result.

@ameennafti6818 Год назад

The story of Desmond, and Ezio in particular have been monumental to my life. I had recently revisited the franchise in release order from the first app the way to AC III. The impact this series had on my life is monumental, firstly, the layers of lore and depth in the world building are just mind blowing to me. And secondly, the way I got to watch those three assassins grow and change and live their lives and see their perspective on the war was just amazing. I have nothing but gratitude and love for this franchise, as silly as it may sound, it has made me the person I am today. And it holds a special place in my heart

Somebody in Ubisoft REALLY fucked up killiny off Desmond….. I mean, for gods sake, he’s the youngest of the oldest uninterrupted assassins blood line!…. They could have totally dragged the games out with Desmond reliving more and more and more memories, synchronizing with them and becoming the ultimate assassin with super human skill and alien artifacts…. They could have 100% just taken the game far into the future and had him running around futuristic cities AC style. They fucked up big time…. Almost as bad then squandering their potential games by establishing the origin of the assassins as something so damn recent….

AC2 was so good. What a storyline. Having Ezio's sister work the books for years so that she had genuine experience to run the brothel was so smart, games just arent made the same anymore.

The Jar Jar Abrams school of storytelling. Set up a bunch of intriguing mystery boxes, but with no inkling of a plan on how you will resolve them. Then let all those seemingly important threads fall away into irrelevancy as you string the audience along with the promise of answers and satisfying resolutions that will never come, because they never existed.

You, sir, have turned something I enjoyed quite well into something I enjoy even more, it’s been years since I’ve played these games and been in touch with Desmond. Your way of explanation and even cutting back knowing when it’s the game’s “turn to talk” made it feel like I never left Desmond’s side all those years ago. In short, thank you for this.
