Revelry in the Dark

if we really do get a rift where Shay and Arno throw down in Egypt, I wonder if we'd see a cameo appearance by Connor. would be cool to get a nice little bow on the Americas games

I'm kind of excited for this game, the year off actually did have me thinking about the next installment and slowly getting excited

is there a solid source of money that you get? something like every other AC has had until now?

this game is really pretty too, it's nuts

I got rushed by a level 20 one after I killed Gennadios and he keeps roaming Alexandria like I’m just trying to explore and help my hot Egyptian wife

But seriously Alexandria is so cool, I wonder if Giza and Memphis have the same level of detail to them

Dunno if I should leave this in tags but I will just to err on the side of caution: Layla finding Aya's DNA is pretty drat cool, I wonder if there will be more moments where Layla gets more Assassin-like

oh my god, Bayek getting tangled up in chariot racing has the best set up :allears:

Something cool! I was doing a quest for Reda and there was a note on the ground about some troops taking a busted ship and some cargo. It said they were to transport it to a creek behind some big rocks to the west. I went there, and those troops were there! And there was solid loot!

Cool and good game.

I’ve killed The Outsider and Ptolemy’s Fist, just eight more of these bastards to go

The legendary loot you get from Phylakes kicks major rear end; I’ve had a lot more fun being Ancient Egypt cop than following the main story. I was level 21 when I finished the hunt for the Scarab

Scarab: the thing Bayek says to the mother about not letting the cycle of vengeance perpetuate was impactful, as well as his apology to Khemu as he walks away was a really good scene

A cool side quest: You can visit the site of Bayek’s first kill and get a reflection on what happened, that’s pretty cool. There’s even the town where Bayek goes to get patched up and the Heron’s wife runs by and kicks you in the nuts. Consequences for your actions!

I like how after you finish off the second set of targets you get thrown back to the real world where you have to stealth around otherwise you get instakilled

Ambush at Sea was a fun mission, it’s cute that the only part of the story that Bayek believes is Aya kicking everyone’s rear end :3:

AC4 was a fantastic pirate game, but nothing beats Brotherhood for the 'hunt down an organisation and take it apart person by person' story of actually being an assassin.

the list was so long it took two games to finish!

seriously, Ezio had a great character arc and I hope Bayek gets a good arc beyond the end of this game. I hope there's a descendant to either Bayek or Aya we can play as

I'm imagining the Ezio trilogy in this engine and man one can only dream. you'd actually be able to explore fuller versions of each city! traveling across Renaissance Italy would have been amazing

For real though in Syndicate how did the modern day person go into the memories of a brother and sister?

I think by the time of Unity, in-universe the genetic memories of people had already become researched enough to be sold as video games as meta-Assassin's Creeds.

I took a break from the game in December because of life things, so I finished the story today. Poor Bayek and Aya, they deserved better but they found a purpose out of the madness. :smith:

The last act felt super rushed though, was I supposed to care at all about Flavius? He was just some guy with Caesar but suddenly he’s the mastermind behind the Order?

The emotional beats stuck the landing for me so I didn’t really mind the above too much

I would literally kill for AC2 and Brotherhood but with Origins' controls and design. that would be the game of the year for all the remaining years

the new DLC owns, thanks for the free bump to 45! now I can finish the Hidden Ones with impunity

I really hope this game gets a third DLC so we can cap off Aya/Bayek's story, and also the next game gets more time in the cooker. we haven't even heard news of the next game yet either

I want this all to end with Bayek and Aya being two of the three wisemen

They did that in rear end: Rogue, it wasn't that special.

I dunno, I think Ubi has the benefit of the doubt now after what they’ve done with Origins. Rogue was smack dab in the middle of their annual releases so I feel Lisbon could have been done better, because you’re right it was pretty forgettable

To be fair Ubisoft has always done a great job in their historical research for these games so we might see something really well done. For all the flaws about AC3, the one thing that it got right was how the American Revolution wasn't a divine event or anything
