AC is a crappy IP anyway so nothing of value was really lost there.

+10 for being 100% right. The assassin stories are neat, but the Animus destroyed the whol concept of AC from the very begining, story wise at least. On a gameplay level I guess it's alright.

Good thing I don't really care about AC because that is one **** ending.

Didn't expect anyone to come close to ME3 this year in that department, but Ubi sure did a good attempt.

Agreed. That's why I needed the EC for ME3. Until then I couldn't enjoy the ending. Not because of its concept, but because it was very badly executing. It was a mass.


Is this a Freudian slip?  Because I am comfortable with changing the lexicon.

'It was a mass' - (noun) the unsatisfying, thematically inconsistent ending of a beloved franchise that undermines the significance of all that has come before it.

The fundamental difference between this and ME3's ending is that this is confirmed to be a sequel hook. Ubi have stated there will be more AC, presumably from that point. ME3 was the final ending for the trilogy. That said, ACIII's ending is actually consistent with ACII, AC:B, and AC:R's endings. Desmond may also merely be unconscious, a-la High EMS Destroy. ExCut ME3 and ACIII's endings are not terrible. They aren't perfect, but they're not terrible.

That ending is pretty consistent with all the AC endings. End on a cliff-hanger, world is in peril, WTH is going on, etc. It's only similar on a very, very shallow level.

Ubisoft has stated AC3 would be the end of Desmond's journey, so odds are he's just plain old dead.

Ok wow, now i am LMAO, seriously bet that bioshock infinite is going to end in a similar manner, my 3 favorite series end with the same/similar endings, hahaha, Oh boy did not see that coming, oh well good bye ok to great video games. Maybe the Mayans were right 2012 is the end of great Video games, the last original/greatest game will be released in December 23, still weird year.

Fair deuce. That said, he was just the middleman in all this. Altair, Ezio and Connor were the stars of the series. Now, if ACIV had Shaun taking Desmond's place, that would be amazing. His personality's a bit like Garrus', in a way.

Maybe the ending was all a dream...maybe it never happened and Ubisoft is going to release the real ending about 1 year later?



if the ending is as bad as the OP says and they do make a DLC that changes the ending will that start a bad trend just like the gaming exsperts say or should they stick to there artistic integraty?

It has nothing to do with ME3's ending. The simple fact it didn't offer any choice already make them incomparable.


It's funny, because the choice was one of the worst parts of Mass Effect 3's ending.

Does anyone else remember the red, green and blue explosions? I do.

Spoiler: Its working with an enemy of Humanity and handing over control to one of those that came before us, but it saves Humanity from a cycle of continuous extinction by solar flares and the fight between Templars vs. Assassins to continue based on differences of interpretations, so Bad guy pretty much wins, but again their atleast was no illusion that you were in control and barely much attachment to Desmond, he was more a back seat driver, but yeah not hero like ending.

I think it's less Bad Guy Wins and more like Heroes' Temporary Setback until the next installment, much like The Empire Strikes Back.

I am a big AC fan so I am sure the ending will be better than ME3. If Desmond dies then I am not going to care unless the ending is not done well. Why is somebody posting a spoiler for a different game on this forum anyways? I think it is funny that people want to spoil themselves on a game that hasn't even come out yet and then say that the ending was copied from another game.


I've not seen the ending but just this thread had put me off getting the game I played AC2 till the DRM basicly stole my game.  From what I saw it was a good story but I don't see the point in getting invested in any game if the PC just dies and it's even worse when it's done badly.

Ok, I know I missing a bit of context here, but how does a conflict of Assassin's versus Templar's over tech and control of the world go to "Solar flares will kill us all"? Orbital wobble?!

Dangit writers!

Wow this is a pretty bad year for gaming then. First ME3, then the new Resident Evil game, and now AC3?



Uh...I LOVED re6, and saw no problem with it...each ending was great for each storyline.

Also, before you ask, yes, I played ever RE before 6 (save veronica)

REAL TALK, THAT WAS DUMB AS HELL. Thank you, OP, for saving me £60.

And what kind of flop voice acting?

Key difference, you do not have a personal stake in Connor (thats the new dudes name, yeah?) to the point where you consider him your own character. Shepard isn't just BioWares character, he is the players too, a canvas. You become involved in his/her development and hence have a much more personal stake at how he/she reacts to situations....well, at least until ME3 where they tried to take him back.

In AC, Connor is just a dude, **** happens to him, he deals out **** to others, and you merely progress his story by playing the game. There is not personal stake, since his character has been made for you.

In that sense, they probably make sense in AC....thing is ACII, whilst fun, went full retard in the end so i'm not really expecting much more from the series in terms of story.

True, Darth Juno is going to be annoying, unless this also fails and ends up with going back to when they were in control, we go primitive like, then some are born hybrids and destroy a lot of the One's That Came Before's Tech, and forget about sun spot and make another war, and then sun spot hits again and bam, continuous cycle, but yeah hopefully its just a small set back and next game its fighting their control or whatever Juno has up her sleeve.

But people acting like AC's plot was ever anything but absolute rubbish.

Oh, this'll be fun: are we going to have an argument between ME and AC hotheads over whose ending is "worse"?

Pass the popcorn!

We pretty much waist our time fighting each other, instead of focusing on the big issue that could wipe out all life, so not working together and trying to stop an event that could kill a lot of us is bad, working together and using the tech we have from the previous civilization to solve a life or death situation for everyon on Earth is good.
