I was totally committed to a Cursed loadout until I found this drat anime sword. The sparkly attacks are just too good to pass up, dammit. If the First Civ weapons were this over the top I'd buy them asap

That FFXV event was extremely disappointing compared to the AC event XV got. They couldn't even model an actual chocobo, or make it look like proper barding? I liked all of the Trials of the Gods even if they're samey, but I hope the expansions supply more satisfying content.

On the bright side, not finding deal swords means you get to use good weapons instead.

Well I gave it a try and while the game seems fun, I’m not in love with the combat controls and the way it works on Steam Link, I figure I’ll just grab some of the old AC games that I only had on PS3/4 before. Replaying some of the Roger Craig Smith era games along with 4 and Syndicate should be fun, along with some DLC. Oh how was Rogue? The narrative hook is really interesting to me.

Friendly Fire posted:Dual blades are awesome, screw the haters. Killing people one at a time, but a good heavy blade can take down multiple enemies with one combo Also heavy blades have medium (not slow) speed, which I realized too late. I haven't looked at DPS stats but they feel pretty quick for the damage output.

The heavy blade "hold light" attack is crazy. It's a seemingly endless flail, perfect after an enemy gets knocked down

MazelTovCocktail posted:Oh how was Rogue? The narrative hook is really interesting to me. It's pretty good and I'd recommend it, but the grapevine is suggesting that a remastering for the XBone and PS4 is happening soon so you might want to hold off. Anyway, as an AC fan who always likes to collect the past costumes, how's that handled here? Is it like AC4 where you just had to connect to UPlay and the game would go "OK, you unlock the past ancestor costumes now" or Syndicate's style of making them UPlay unlocks? I know that at least Aguilar's costume is locked behind a Twitch Prime membership, so as one of the six people that liked the movie that's gonna suck unless Twitch Prime has a trial month.

I used the Abyss or whatever DLC Robes for a little while but they kind of stopped interesting me after a while. I stick with Bayek's own robes now. Maybe I'll wear Altair's at some points, but I've never been a fan of Ezio's Brotherhood Robes sans his upgraded gear. Same for Edward. I feel like Ezio's best stuff was the Armor of Altair and his denim robes from Revelations but those always get passed over for the DLC content... also lol that they just completely skipped over Connor's robes so far.

I use that basic brown Egyptian set. Goes well with the rugged look of his hair and beard, while looking practical.

Rogue is good if you like the boat thing from ac4 because that's refined and better in it. It's shorter than other games, though.

I got the pharaoh outfit from one of those 3000 coin mystery boxes sold at the green camel icons - I've pretty much stuck with that ever since because it actually looks like armor that'd be useful in a fight. That's said: I, too, had a bath towel phase.

If you liked black flag, you will like rogue, it's essentially the exact same game with a new aesthetic and setting. The only big things I remember changing from a gameplay perspective are that you get a machine gun instead of a swivel cannon, and you get an air rifle (which shoots darts and grenades) instead of a blowgun. And the main city (New York) is bigger has some new gimmicks going on. Other than that, it's just "Black Flag: You're a Templar this time". which is not a complaint, black flag owned

Rogue is incredibly chill too, I loved just sailing around the Atlantic cracking open ice bergs and watching naval battles unfold.

How is the Ezio collection? Loved Brotherhood and never really finished Revelations. Wondered if it's worth getting on sale - that's a poo poo load of rear end.

I liked revelations and never really understood why people like to dunk on it. It’s fun for the same reasons brotherhood was. The worst thing I can say about it is that the new stuff they added to the game (hook thing, tower defense, bomb crafting) is pretty underwhelming but outside of some introductory tutorials you can pretty safely ignore all of it and treat it like brotherhood: old man edition. Istanbul is very pretty and fun to run around in.

Gameplay wise Revelations just doesn't have a reason to exist and Brotherhood is the absolute pinnacle of Assassin's Creed storytelling (Black Sails being a close second). It gets grief because it's a game that doesn't really move the series forwards and it's a waste of time talking about how bad AC3 was because everyone already agrees.

I'm quickly learning that Wanderer the camel is a worthy successor to Roach from the Witcher III. I was taking out a bandit camp in a little casm and accidentally got spotted. All the bandits formed a little conga line trying to search for me but there was a rope bridge going part of chasm that Wanderer decided to stand on. One by one each of the bandits tried to walk past wanderer and fell off the bridge, dying instantly. Wanderer accidentally took out a whole bandit camp by himself. A+ you stupid loving camel I'm never replacing you.

Horse supremacy! Mainly because although I suspect they travel at the same speed, horses feel like they go faster than camels because you're closer to the ground.

Horses do indeed travel sliiiightly faster iirc. Also having ridden both irl I'll take a horse any day. Camels are assholes - they're durable but oh my god.

Ainsley McTree posted:.....me too AC3 is at its worst mediocre and tedious, and as you say a lot of that can be ignored. It just also doesn't have as many high points as the trilogy it came after, making it a hard sell at the time. It's an odd game because it's the clear demarcation point between "old AC" and "new AC" (and now Origins is like "AC 2.5")

I don't understand how someone can complete the 1-2 hour tutorial in AC3, then get plunged immediately into a second 1-2 hour tutorial, followed by a cutscene where you are told it is time to begin your training and not go 'I might finish this game, but I've decided it is a bad game'.
