Communists will support capitalism if capitalism makes communist themed things.

Like really this is the umpteenth AC game, the story is going to be poo poo so any historical references they make is going to be garbage ontop of unfinished gameplay.

You're honestly a fool if you're spending 60 bucks for the game + the cost of the dlc. Like you're maybe better off getting The Order.

Didn't they say that Hitler did his thing because of the Templars or something.

I'm looking forward to the new AC, I'll never play it but whether Marx is an ally or a bad guy it's going to cause a lot of extremely stupid, angry think pieces and forum posts

quote:

Adolf Hitler (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, also known as the Nazi Party, serving as Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945.

By the 1930s, Hitler was under the influence of the Templar Order, obtaining an Apple of Eden from Templar industrialist Henry Ford, intending for him to use it to start World War II.[1] Alongside fellow Templar puppet Joseph Stalin, Hitler brought on the turmoil and fear necessary for Abstergo Industries to take control of the working population.[2]

On 30 April 1945, at the end of the war, Hitler executed his body double inside the Führerbunker and planned to meet Winston Churchill with the Apple of Eden at a rendezvous point. However, upon leaving the bunker, Hitler was killed by the Assassins.[3]

The Holocaust happened because Henry Ford gave Hitler superpowers with an ancient alien artifact.

2 was good for its time. Brotherhood was 2 again. And every game since has been that again but worse in some way. And now the archetype that made 2 interesting has been run into the ground so hard that 2 is retroactively terrible now.

AC1 is good as long as you play it first and don't worry about 100%ing it. The story wasn't too clusterfucked at that point either.

I mean AC1 isn't a horrible mess like 3 or Unity or anything, the problem is that it didn't really age very well after Ezio came around with slicker climbing, combat, and assassining moves.

yeah AV is very short if you don't gently caress up. basically don't try to backtrack until you unlock the game's transit system. there's a big point of no return and you can waste a lot of time going back there after each new powerup to try and get through no avail.

Are you playing for the first time? IMO the beginning of DkS2 is one of the hardest parts of any game in the series because your quick, renewable healing is so incredibly limited and the combination of the stricter durability system with a really limited number of weapons available to you. It all adds up to really make exploring and meandering around cluelessly an unforgiving pain in the rear end, which is what you always do at the beginning of Souls.

Are you playing the Scholar of the First Sin edition? They ramped up the difficulty by quite a bit due to some nasty enemy placements, especially in the earlier areas.

Anyway the rapier and mace are the best weapons you can get early, and just plain great weapons for the entire game if upgraded.
