Everything Assassin's Creed

[Wes R]

Knowing companies these days they'll have a DLC that expands on the ending somehow.

 

[Risu]

There definitely will be DLC, and some of it may relate to the pivot hacks. I think they're mostly sticking with Connor stuff for the DLC, though.

 

[Wes R]

A DLC is coming out December 11 (it's out for some ubisoft season pass owners or something) called Hidden Secrets. There's also a non canon one coming out dealing with an alternate universe where Washington declares himself a king.

 

[Risu]

Season pass is an extra $25 chunk of change to get all 5 planned DLC packs for AC3 for less then you'd pay one at a time. When I got the game for PC I traded my Xbox copy in for the season pass for PC. The Washington one was supposed to be the first, I'll have to look into that hidden secrets one.

 

[Wes R]

Yeah I was looking at the season pass too. I didn't realize how spoiled amazon had me as they send your codes for downloads right then. I went thru bestbuy for the pass and it's taking forever.

 

[Jedi2016]

I didn't bother with the Season Pass just because I probably won't get all of the DLC (if any of it). The Hidden Secrets one sounds neat based on the name, but I'll have to see what it actually includes first.

 

[Wes R]

From them:
The Hidden Secrets DLC Pack adds three extra missions (some including our critically acclaimed naval warfare gameplay):

The Lost Mayan Ruins
The Ghost of War
A Dangerous Secret

You'll also receive:

Two single-player costumes - the Captain of the Aquila and the Colonial Assassin to round out your collection in the Homestead Manor
Two additional multiplayer characters - the Redcoat and the Sharpshooter

I'm still working on AC2 and have a bid in on the greatest hits AC1 on ebay since it comes with the DLC on disc. Do NOT load AC3 while downloading the HIdden secrets DLC as there is a bug. I never do anything when downloading but better safe than sorry.

How 'bout loading up Lego LOTR?

Lost Mayan Ruins sounds awesome just because.. you know.. Mayan ruins. I love that stuff.

 

[Wes R]

I think that mayan ruins might be the one you got from Gamestop if you preordered where you get the neat sword. Not sure though.

 

[Jedi2016]

Yeah, I heard of it, but I just bought it off the shelf at Best Buy, so no bonus features. I got the Benedict Arnold missions on PS3, though.

 

[Wes R]

Yeah. I'm happy for any DLC that isn't some multiplayer BS these days lol. I just saw that xcom has some, i'm hoping i get some xbox points for christmas. I'm aiming for the AC1 platinum edition for ps3 as it has the DLC on disc.

I just started playing the first game last month. (Don't worry about spoilers, I know most of the plot for all the games.) I wish they had left out the modern portions, though I'd be infracted if I embellished on that beyond my belief that the Assassins would not support the people that the Québécoise support these days. But the historic portrayal of the Crusades so far is pretty spot on, and I'm loving a lot of the internal conflict Altäir is having over the creed and the purpose of the assassins. Themes of duality and self sacrifice always jive pretty good with me. No complaints about the combat system here, because I feel like it was built for people like me who have terrible hand eye coordination and can't play normal games.

After accidentally watching Embers, I want at least a Vita game following the Chinese assassin guild. I know everyone else wants Japan, but everybody knows about how ninjas work. We don't know as much about Chinese history, and there is a very rich set of weapons and martial arts to pull from. I'm imaging Shaolin spades and meteor hammers.

 

[Wes R]

I wish they'd give Desmond more to do, he has a book devoted to him but the games just use him as a plot device and it seems like a waste. I looked up the girl who plays Connor's mom in 3. She sure doesn't look Mohawk even though she's at least half. Apparently her mom was a model and her dad's a lawyer. Then again most tribes just want you to prove you have 1/4 in your blood to be part.

 

[Risu]

I'm not seeing the hidden secrets pack anywhere, is it available? Not sure exactly how to download it. Uplay isn't telling me to do anything.

 

[Jedi2016]

I'm guessing it's not actually released yet.

 

[FudgeMando]

I think it comes oit either the 11th or 13th of this month. Anybody see the trailer for the tyranny of george washington DLC pack

 

[Wes R]

I downloaded it off the Ps3 store but since i got the season pass i get the DLC a week before people who don't have it.

 

[Risu]

Yea, I have season pass, too.

 

[Wes R]

I'm still impressed with how much detail they put into the research of characters and events in these games. At times it's hard to tell who is a made up character and who really existed back then.

 

[iMan]

I just started on Brotherhood last night. I totally forgot that I had this game and never played the story mode. I like it so far. The multiplayer game Wanted is amazing though. I know III has it so I might need to jump on that.
