Are you gone? Good. Spoilers.
Holy shit. How the fuck did they make such a terrible ending? I thought Brotherhood and Revelations had god awful endings but... what the shit? The final 'boss' was just 'hold down right trigger and follow this guy' for about twenty minutes then you go into a burning ship where the game completely takes control away from you a couple of times while shit collapses so you end up not having a clue where the dude went. You also have to stay within 50m of him or the mission insta-fails and you have to start again, literally from the beginning. The boss doesn't even die there... nope. He escapes. Because Ubisoft don't understand that getting shot in the chest/stomach from 2ft away with a lead ball the size of an elephant's testicle actually kills. It doesn't just make you go 'Oh dear!' and stumble off.
Then, surprise, more bullshit from The Onez Dat Lyk Came B4 Innit Blud, blah blah, the world's ending, Juno turns out to be evil (no shit), etc. etc. Desmond touches a glowy ball of doom after being specifically told by Minerva that touching it would release Juno from some sort of bullshit energy prison wherein she literally enslaves the planet. Desmond dies there, by the way. Then the credits roll up. No idea how we got back to Connor, or where the other three dudes went (Shaun, Rebecca and Desmond's arse of a father), then it's back to running 1.5km between missions which are essentially 20 second long cutscenes with people going 'Fuck England, whoo yeah!'
Good job, Ubisoft. You made an ending worse than Brotherhood.

Seriously. It's alright up till the end though. Connor's appearance/animations/clothing/etc. are brilliant. Not as swag as Ezio but far more 'Oh shit, son'.

I have played literally none of the Assassin's Creed games, but I've seen snip bits of it from TBFP...what the fuck is with the weird technology and time traveling shit? Or is it not actually time traveling? What the fuck is going on in this game franchise!?
Oh god... It's weird. It's set in present times, but there's this massive, rich, evil corporation that has machines that allow a person to experience the memories of their ancestors, hence the time-warping. Technically the main character is that whiny bitch Desmond, who no one likes because he's characterless, but every game is essentially 'Here's our excuse to go back to this time period, get in the chair Desmond'. It works, barely.Originally Posted by KuroTenshi

TL;DR
"We have a machine that lets you experience the lives of your ancestors, through bullshit genetic memories. Also, we're on the run from evil people, so we need to do this shit fast so we know how to stop the nearly omnipotent ( literally ) group of baddies. We are doing this just now at the last minute instead of using our own ancient organization's records for reasons of more bullshit incompetence bad plot reasons."
And this is why no one likes the modern plot. It's lame. In all honesty all the plots are lame, but the free running and stuff makes it playable.

Wait so from the very first game, that's what Assassin's Creed is? Just some guy 'traveling' back in time to his ancestors who were assassins?
Yup. Starts in the middle east, then it's an Italian dude who's pretty cool, then it's a Mohawk indian, because fuck logic.
