Assassin's Creed sounds like it'd be a lot cooler if they dumped the metaplot and just had you be an assassin in fun times in history tbqh

Kantesu posted:I read it more as "Let's pray the Rapture into happening," which on top of the Rapture being an idea built out of really strained readings of disparate texts that ignores much more apparent themes in those texts, goes against the usual Rapture "no one knows the day or hour/God works in mysterious ways" stuff to basically say that enough people asking can just make it happen at will. I took "civil conflict would be preferable to the slow dictatorship of liberal democracy" to mean that they wanted christians to rise up and overthrow the government. But I think you're right, they think the end times are here and want the rapture to happen.

The Neal! posted:We're probably talking about this too much in this thread but I have to know, if the big bad is dead, what's the new thing for everyone to be worried about in the future parts of the new games? Yeah, I fell off the series a few games later so I could be off-base (and this is the last effort post I’ll make about the games itt) I think they moved back to the Assassin-Templar conflict (the games had started portraying them as pawns of Juno, basically tricked into fighting instead of working together and finding a way to save the world without freeing her) Also there was this whole thing about “sages”. Basically one of the precursor attempts to save themselves backfired and the one married to Juno died but somehow his DNA got into humans and so every now and again a genetic clone is born and takes on his memories and does some shut. Famous sages include Black Bart, Jacques de Molay, a lot of the villains in the historical parts, and the IT guy of basically in-universe Ubisoft

Byzantine posted:One problem is they decided the Assassins were the good guys, so all the famous assassins like Oswald or Booth weren't Assassins. It was because Assassin's Creed was their first attempt at making a major original franchise in years (most of their catalogue at the time was purchased IPs), so they thought up a cool game about the Hashashin vs. the Templars in the Crusades and slowly revealing it to be a still ongoing war with implications about the true history of the world...and that's about it. Then they had to keep it going and steadily get more and more historical figures involved until they started contradicting themselves (like 2 showing Washington gaining power with an Apple of Eden when 3 shows him explicitly refusing it).

Honestly if Assassin's Creed had been as into it's metaplot as Kingdom Hearts it would have been better. At least in Kingdom hearts you get to fight all the baddies. If AC had had the confidence that Kingdom Hearts had, we'd have fought Juno as a boss fight and it would have been rad.

Does any of the AC games have a mode that removes all the stupid modern-day stuff so you can focus on being an assassin in 19th Century London or Ancient Greece or whatever?

I don't think any of them excise it completely, but they became smaller and smaller parts of the game as the series went on. Like I think in Odyssey (the most recent) you don't actually play any of the modern parts, just see cutscenes very sporadically. Which is good, but does kinda make the modern parts even more jarring, especially if you do a lot of side content so you can go 20-30 hours just wandering ancient greece and then suddenly you get dragged into the modern metaplot because you did something from the main story. But again, it's just a couple minutes at a time at most.

Blue Labour is basically the exact same contrarian right wing grift train that stuff like Spiked and TPUK are, with the only difference being that BL tend to be still decent on trade unions.
