Most assassins creed games have pretty **** protagonists. Desmond was a constant ******, Altair had nothing to hate but nothing to like either he was just there, Ezio he was a rather generic overly naive pretty boy, Connor was like Altair barely involved in the plot only occasionally turning up to kill someone. Edward was the only one I haven't hated. All the ones before him seem to have been hit with the stupid stick.

 

I can agree with Desmond, but Altair and Ezio I will have to completely disagree on. Both Ezio and Altair are exactly the kind of persons that defines what makes a good protagonist in my opinion--intelligent, pro-active, multilayered characters who evolve throughout the series. I can't comment on Connor and Edward, since I haven't played the games yet.

I decided to not get this game in an effort to save money, but the same friend who bought me Titanfall earlier this year so we could play it together is apparently going to do the same with Unity;it seems I may be playing Assassin's Creed Unity on Xbox One after all.

I think this is the most hyped I've been for an AC game since ACII. The return to large cities makes all giddy, and I love the french revolution setting

I hope Arno can follow Edward successfully, and not be another Ezio-Connor situation.

I'm still waiting for the Assassin's Creed game set in India.

4 Protagonists. All of them whites dudes and no female. It would take too much work to implement 'such a feature' says Ubisoft. Thank you, Ubisoft, for reminding me why I stopped caring about this franchise the moment you decided to make several games about that jarring fake-accent-Italian Ezio Audacity the Refrigerator. 

Ubisoft is not required to fill a diversity checklist.

And I in Feudal Japan. Just make it happen already!

Who said they were? Making dumb statements in regards to why they "couldn't implement" the female character was the actual issue. Nothing else.

Publicity and it works.

Can't wait for one that set in Medieval Britain where we play a 7 foot tall Scottish Highlander with a ludicrous accent and a beer belly the size of an exercise-ball.

Actually that sounds pretty awesome. Sign me up for some of that.

Assassins Creed Unity looks amazing and I am definitely interested in but I don't have a very good track record with the franchise. I've played AC1, AC2, Brotherhood, AC3 and AC4 and I have yet to finish any of them, the closest I've ever come is in AC2 and AC4. I'm afraid AC Unity is going to have to wait until I finish AC4. Of course that raises another issue, if I am going to wait until I finish AC4 to play AC Unity then I might as well wait until 2015's AC title comes out ( and AC a Unity drops to a bargain bin price ) before I give Unity a go, that's the problem with releasing a new game each year, there is only a 6 month time period where a Unity has any value at all.

You got that right -- The bad kind that is. The idea is that you're supposed to attract new customers not make unprofessional comments to scare them away as I'm sure you're aware. End of discussion.

Hopefully we get to use baguettes as weapons.

Meet Elise

[LPPrince]

Aye, that is where "Unity" comes from. The potential for assassins and templars working together. "Potential" since they seem to never do. Except maybe in Arno and Elise's case.

I'm not sure I want to become a landlubber again (and a FRENCH landlubber at that, sacré bleu).

 

Granted, I am too invested in this series to NOT get Unity, but I loved the crap out of Black Flag's ninja pirate robot assassin segments, and leaving those behind and limiting us to cities once again (no matter how much sense it makes story-wise) might possibly feel like a massive step backwards. And of course, if Arno can't live up to the standards set by Ezio and Edward...

[Cainhurst Crow]

So from that trailer, we might get to see how the templars and assassins are essentially the same and that not all of one side is good and all of the other is bad?

[Cainhurst Crow]

None of them ever actually did it well though. Either half handedly or making the templar good guy retroactively become another douchebag mustache twiler or just a prat right from the get go.

 

AC had one good character who was on the templars side, and that was the main templars stand in girl, and that's just cause we don't see her torturing or killing folks at random for kicks. AC3 I didn't play so I can't say, but having seen clips of haythem and played the opening portion, I can say that my "Retroactively turned into a douche" critique stands. Most of the AC games just have the folks working for the templars be petty, mentally unsound, corrupt up the ass, or just plain stupid, with the only exceptions being those who later join up with the assassins. Even in AC 4 you see this, assassin aligned characters go from morally ambiguous to completely good, edward included, and those who you think are "good guys" before become just scumbags with little to no character allowed to them other then "They lost their way."

 

Still, outside of the who dichotomic idelogical issues, I find the games to be loads of fun, Unity looking like it'll be no exception. I'm going to try and stave off information to play the game fresher if you would, but I still am looking forward to playing it along with Inquisition and possibly shadow of mordor.

[Cainhurst Crow]

They aren't the good guys. They're never going to be the good guys. But they simply AREN'T the "bad guys."

 

 

My favorite scene is the one between Connor and Thomas Hickey, as he's dying. Hickey says all he wanted was rum and women. He says that maybe he's shallow, but that Connor would never achieve his ideals ("but your hands...your hands will always be empty").

 

I could go in depth on each one (the guy who tries to buy native land to protect it, Charles Lee wanting control because Washington is a wimp, Haytham in general, etc.), but they go out of their way to paint them as far, far more than power-hungry loons.

 

I added more to my post to explain my point, but seeing as I didn't play AC3 given the spoiled ending and just all around not feeling the game on this one, It doesn't matter much what I added.
 

What I want is simply a character whose a templar and not a douche/*******. I don't think that should be too hard to deliver, but I guess it is so oh well.
