I liked Assassin Creed 3 more than most people, because the boat stuff was the best in that one and I liked the story bits of playing as the British dude and then putting the axe in the pillar and all the running around as a Native American helping the poor farmsteaders with their milquetoast problems

We very specifically had plans to not kill Hitler in real life to not make a martyr out of him. That was like, part of real military decisions.

I'm sure, just taking a guess, that they let you kill Hitler later, and this is just some pre-release gag.

The Evil Within gives you a fun non standard game over credits roll for doing this to the main baddie('s brain) when you have the chance. Shame Wolfenstein doesn't do the same given how many players are gonna do it on-sight.

edit: Also lumpy the cook it probably would've been a good idea for you to put the name of the game you're spoiling OUTSIDE of the spoiler tages

Possibly saving it for DLC/a sequel? I dunno.

That's a real clunky way to do the whole thing, though. Even if the only way to kill Hitler is to die doing it, at least have like a brief alternate ending or something so the player sees why Blazkowicz dying to kill Hitler right then wasn't worth it. Even just like a still image with a voice over about how Hitler's assassination galvanized the Nazis and without Blazkowicz the resistance fell apart, yadda yadda, just anything but a boring game over.

Wolfentalk: They've been saying Hitler will be the main antagonist for the third game since the first was announced back in 2013. You got a game over sequence if you tried to kill the antagonist of 2 in the first game too.

Yeah, I can respect saving something for later. A little alternate ending "but the future refused to change" thing would've been less jarring, though.

Also: Thanks Lumpy. I hope you feel better, totally worth spoiling part of a game that hasn't been officially released yet because you lack the awareness or the ability to use spoiler tags effectively. You must have been literally dying.

AC Origins getting big marks for being a more competent game is nice and I'm glad for Ubisoft, but they picked the wrong 2-year stretch to put out an actually cool AC game, especially in terms of open world and/or assassination stuff. Zelda, Hitman, Horizon Dishonored, Shadow of War have all more or less capitalized and cornered the fine points of open world exploration or assassination gameplay. AC is a decent mix of the two though so it will probably still sell well.
