i would've killed him, as a much bigger sacrifice, only after him becoming a modern day assassin through the bleed effect. i would have made it actually matter and then i would've stopped the entire franchise until maybe about now to reboot it. Then i would've made it about his son, but in this timeline he wouldn't be autistic.
who the frick would be the mother? Rebecca?
Same, would've infected him with some genetic illness through the bleed effect
i wouldve made it about the same as AC3 but i wouldn't have killed juno off in a fricking comic book
Wtf no way they killed in a book
Not include modern world shit AT ALL.
t. zoomer
it was omega kino in 1
Would have removed the modern day shit overall. It became after AC1 either way and felt like pointless filler.
he should have got a modern day sequel before the slog that was AC3, instead of giving Ezio a trilogy make AC2 and Brotherhood and the third game being all Desmond finally being on his own since from what I remember Revelations was mostly filler, and then you can make boring ass AC3 that killed the series
How would you do an AC with modern firearms. That fight at the end of AC2 where everyone's coming at you with sticks was dumb as frick.
The First Civilization guys had some form of future sight/information sense. It wouldn't be a far stretch to give Desmond some form of this that allowed him to predict where enemies would shoot.
It'd still turn into a TPS, why wouldn't Desmond pick up gun?
I'd give him a handgun for sure, anything bigger is probably a b***h to carry when you're climbing up buildings with your bare hands.
He could still pick up rifles from enemies.
Make it so you can't reload.
or simply turn it into mirrors edge in addition with all that asscreed had 🙂
>AC2 and Brotherhood
god I hate brotherhood homosexuals so much
Revelations is so much better in terms of gameplay, setting, and story and yet it's always brotherhood this and brotherhood that
I haven't played these games since they came out 10+ years ago, but I remember thinking Revelations had a really awkward control scheme compared to the earlier games, plus the story is literally filler. At least Brotherhood advanced to modern day plot somewhat. Revelations is literally Desmond in a coma the entire game.
Exactly as it is except actually end the franchise with his death instead of milking it further
Make Black Flag as a straight pirate game with all the Assassin stuff removed from it since it feels tacked on and pointless anyway
Make an actual modern day game instead of teasing and never delivering.
Followed through with the original plan of making Desmond into some kind of borderline supernatural assassin and having the final game take place in the modern day where Desmond's complete mastery of the sixth sense would be the main trump card against his foes.
Would a Modern AC even work?
It could play like Splinter Cell but the whole appeal of AC is the historical free roam
If it were set in an iconic location such as Washington DC, then it could certainly work.
people didnt like splinter cell conviction tho
Nobody played it because nobody ever heard of it.
Yes they did. Older SC fans didn't, but when has that ever mattered in the long run?
nice revisionism, kid
it was trash
I would make a different game that's actually good.
Modern day game. Then he dies. Then he take over a body of a templar who used animus. Then he infiltrate templars and either lead them or destroy them. The end.
Probably make an actual modern AC game. The comics/books that have come out since have proven that a modern day game could work, though not as a full open world.
It could work as a semi-open world with linear stages set in Abstergo and Assassin locations. Something like Splinter Cell Blacklist, or even MGS4 where the levels are very large and have multiple points of entry, and that attends to the AC style of gameplay.
We're past the point of no return though. The Chronicles games sucked and Ubi is too chicken shit to do the Japan game everyone's wanted for the AC ninja fantasy. I fell off Valhalla not 10 hours in because it felt way too bloated and full of filler, and that's after spending 120 hours in Odyssey loving it. The Montreal ("main AC devs") team are just throwing things at a wall to see what sticks it seems.
Did Montreal Team make Origins? Is the upcoming one an A team or B team AC?
Montreal did make Origins and Valhalla. The upcoming AC game seems to be a compilation supposedly serving as a sort of GAAS which will comprise of multiple protags over multiple time periods so it's probably an all hands on deck situation.
Quebec made Syndicate and Odyssey, not surprising that they were both the best game in their respective "type" of AC game, with Syndicate improving upon pretty much everything wrong with Unity and Odyssey building and improving what Origins did.
Quebec also made Immortals: Fenyx Rising which was a decent mix of Odyssey and Legend of Zelda gameplay. I enjoyed Immortals way more than I did Valhalla.
have him end the templars vs assassins conflict for good. maybe A B choice where either the templars or assassins took control of the world. or C end both organizations.
of course this wouldn't work because then you couldn't make million new games
Sure you could. At that point, you could ditch all the Animus stuff and just go back to ancient times. Or you could keep the Animus stuff and put in some new villain, such as the First Civilization trying to resurrect itself or somesuch.
hmm true. that would have ended the desmond/modern times story, and allowed the series to focus only on the past.
My boyfriend asked me to call each and everyone of you a Black person.
He out great emphasis on using a hard r.
>Assassins protect freedom at all cost, even if it's a struggle and life is hard you can still follow your own path and choose your own destiny
>Templars desire control at all cost, and will tempt you with things like security and coin to have you give up your freedoms willingly
>AC3 ending: "do you want to press this magic button that will save everyone at the cost of this goddess conquering it and enslaving humanity?"
>Figure this is leading to two different endings depending on whether you want to stay loyal to the Assassins or whether you think the Templars may have had a point
>Desmond triple backflip slam dunks the magic button and chooses the Templar end instantly without your input, completely flying in the face of everything the past five games have said about Desmond and his destiny
I can't believe I had high hopes for this series once. At least there were a couple of individually good games that can be enjoyed if you just ignore everything outside the Animus.
Everything the same up until the ending of brotherhood. Lucy gets mindjacked by Juno instead of Desmond, she shanks him and defects to work with the templars--Juno believing that they have a better chance at stopping the apocalypse than the assassins. Revelations then happens as-is but it's Desmond in the animus recovering from sustained injuries in brotherhood.
Completely new AC3--all modern, takes place in one of DC/NYC/Montreal and is mainly focused in that single city like brotherhood. Periodic interruptions where the bleeding effect forces you to play as Altair or Ezio briefly, maybe some Connor stuff if it's introduced well, but ultimately the focus is entirely on modern day. Desmond rebuilds the assassin order, directly takes on abstergo, steals the apple, saves the world, dies. Future games focus on the order he leaves behind.
He gets fused into an animus permanently by the Templars so there is minimal present-day gameplay/story. The Assassins hack into his animus or something I guess, and get the secret info or whatever the frick the Templars were after, then do him a favour by turning off his life support.
In future instalments the present day is never mentioned again.
That sounds even worse than what we got.
The point is to mercy kill the present day story and Desmond as efficiently as possible. Yes, it's still shit, that can't be changed, so this is the best option.
If rewriting even the 1st story is allowed, then the even better solution is to just delete the entire present day story in the first place.
Who the frick even remembers that shitty subplot?
It's a pointless framing device. It's mired in all the worst aspects of the series (the mambo jumbo Eden ayyliens shit). It should not have been there in the first place.
Getting rid of it is the ONE (1) good thing that has happened to the series since Black Flag.
I've never been able to pay attention to the plot. I just go around killing people and collecting shit to get better gear. AssCreed is boring
I’m still pissed that they made this huge deal over Desmond for the first 2 games, making you think you’ll eventually get to go full Spiderman by the 3rd game. Then the third game just has you jumping on rocks a few times before he dies
Me too. Desmond was cool and they killed him for basically no fricking reason. Now they have the audacity to imply his mind survived when that ancient b***h escaped her prison at the end of 3.
>Desmond was cool
Can you imagine if someone said this unironically?
>Desmond was cool
I wouldn't go that far.
I would say Desmond was the "Basic b***h tossed into crazy situation and having to come to terms with it" done right. Including that by the end of the second game/doing the third he clearly had started to get into it and had grown as a character. He very much earned that element of starting to be notable...and then they just axe his plot outright and now we've got this fricking digital brain plot and honestly the AC storyline's been crap since his removal. Nothing -good- got added, but if they kept him around they chances are couldn't forsee writing stuff like Black Flag or Syndicate without having him 'ruining' it. They wanted the story to let you keep using the digital headspace instead of ever taking it towards the 'real world', and that's when I myself dropped out of it.
You forgot that Desmond was secretly trained as an Assassin his whole life and he was only a normalgay bartender for like six months before Abstergo snagged him. I forgot when they introduced that retcon but it's there.
AC1 already established he was an Assassin. It just never went in depth beyond "lol i'm not one of those assassin guys anymore"
I thought it was Revelation where he unlocks all the memories about secret training.
what really grinds my gears aswell is they did show us many places arround the wolrd which had those Eden splinters yet they never really made use of them all i can remember is that we actually had only the Ball and staff in action or that weird pyramide in black flag
