Iron by Woodkid.
![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkb0kDacjs Revelations is still better. It felt more like a sequel than brotherhood. Seriously, what was wrong with the game other than the tower defense segment? Everything about it, visuals, combat, locations, cinematic scenes, desmond and subject 16, etc. It was superior to what is essentially a continuation of a story for both the character of Ezio and Desmond (essentially, we learn more about Desmond through the puzzles). Being an Adventure Gamer forum, Revelations should of been called the best. Not Brotherhood or AC2. Revelations had more adventure elements than previous games.

Ugh, I had a long, thoughtful reply typed up, then hit the wrong button (accidentally knocked the cursor off the text box with tab and hit backspace).
Anyway, let's start from the beginning. Revelations' pacing was horrible from the start. Unlike previous games Revelations just plopped you into an unlocked map, forcing you to try and control the pacing. The other games gave you story and side missions at a metered pace and it worked much better. Desmond's story was just a lame hub, and his memory sequences were horribly awkward, not difficult and didn't tell us anything really that we already didn't know. The loss of the excellent subject 16 puzzle sequences and the movie fragments that kept you pushing to find them was a huge letdown. It was also ridiculous that they really didn't expound on Lucy. Altair's story was the best of the bunch, but they were so short and fleeting that it was hardly enough to make up for the other failings. Ezio's story was horrible. Previous games gave us an enemy we wanted to hate, that we pushed to take down and gave us glimpses into something greater. Revelations gave us generic enemies with the only motivation being a meta story reveal at the end. It just made the entire game feel like busywork. I'm not alone either, Revelations is the worst reviewed game in the franchise (metacritic). That the creative director and lead designer are both no longer with Ubisoft and not involved in ACIII isn't without reason. My excitement going into Revelations was at a 10, coming out it was around 4, with new people in charge and the setting I'd put it at a 7, but there are still reservations seeing what Revelations turned the series into. |

I didn't think much to the story compared to the previous ones, either. ...And pretty much everything Burns11 said... ![]()

Isn't sticking out like a sore thumb an inconvenience for an assassin?

You think having clothes that fit more with darker tannish tones would help him blend more.

"The game starts with him seeing his village destroyed" ugh hope it's not another pissy excuse for a revenge plot.

I haven't played any of the AC games. They look great, though. I just haven't had time.
I may pick up the other games when they go on sale for super cheap.

AC is my favorite game series currently. I didn't like AC1 that much, but after reading great reviews of AC2 I decided to buy it - and it really blew me away! It fixed problems of AC1 and everything about it worked so fine (theme, story, time period, gameplay, characters, high production values etc).
Brotherhood & Revelations were okay, stories were forgettable and I didn't really like additions they made to gameplay - elements in AC2 were so well thought out, that the new stuff in ACB & ACR felt forced and ruined partly the overall experience. I also loved that the cities in AC2 were clearly different and each city had its own 'feeling', the different districts of big city in ACB & ACR didn't feel as diverse. I'm really happy about AC3, the series really needs a big change and refreshment, and the location of AC3 is definitely very different than previous games had, so it all looks very promising. |
