Ezio Auditore... Ezio Auditore da Firenze!
I've refrained from posting this on the Ubi forums because its quite bad there. It will just go off topic and move into a never ending debate.
Hey guys! I just played The Ezio Trilogy. It's still holds up extremely well today! The sountrack, story and everything is awesome!!! Reminds me of how good the series was, back when it had not forget its roots. It went downhill since Desmond died. I saw a gleam of hope in Syndicate, but seems like Origins is going to be a disappointment. They've moved the focus from story to RPG elements and gameplay only went downhill (seriously) since the Desmond games.
Ezio, although not my favourite character will always have a special place in my heart.

Those who played AC3 must have remembered how fun the combat was. How? Just how did they mess it up in Blag Flag, Rogue and Unity? Unity's combat is so unresponsive its a chore.
Not to mention, since there is no Desmond, there is no sci fi suspense story. I'm sure this is why we all got hooked to the series. Nowadays, they are simply games. It shouts right in my face that I'm playing a damn game, not reliving Desmond's memories. Well, yeah. Ubi did justify that by saying the helix is for entertaintment. I consider all games after AC3 to be spin offs, and always will.
What? The combat was more or less the same from Brotherhood to Rogue. Unity had horrible combat. No counter kills, no chainkilling. HorriblE with a big E.
I prefered the old combat, the easy combat. It should take 5-10 seconds killing an enemy, not 2 fucking minutes, just as you said. At least the combat got a bit better in Syndicate.
Nope. Brotherhood and Revelations were way too easy. AC3's combat was fast paced and fun. In Blag Flag and Rogue, I'd just smoke bomb everyone I see, since money is so readily available (unlike AC3). Any dude with 2 smoke bombs can kill an entire army. Also, those exploding bombs those brutes throw make the combat insanely frustrating. I will get hit every 5 seconds and it takes forever for Edward and Shay to get up. Those bombs aren't that easy to avoid either when counter kill streaking.
I agree with what you said about Unity. No mater how good you were, killing more than 3 people is pretty hard. Again, even if you are fully armed with smoke bombs or whatever. It was impossible to combat more than 5 enemies. Also, their aiming with guns historically known for being inaccurate. Wow. They should stop being a Templar lackey, being a hitman would earn them a lot more.
The Animus bullsh!t is actually the one who runed the series for me, i don't want to enter someone's mind to enter somebody else's mind, it's like entering a virtual world in in a virtual world, fortunately Desmond died and now the late AC games have almost cut off all of its Animus connections, and now i'm more than happy.
Ruined*
Yeah, I remember how good those games were back when they were called Prince of Persia, but then Assassin's Creed came out and it was so aggressively mediocre that I stopped paying attention.
And yes it is confirmed that AC started out as a PoP spin-off even if they changed their minds during development.
Yup. So glad that happened. If I saw Prince of Persia: Assassins, I would never touch it.
I don't like ezio. Thats why I never really played the games with him.
