I'd play the shit out of a game with Assassin Trotsky getting stomped by Templar Stalin.

All I know is I'd play the shit out of Assassin Creed version of The Scar.

Sure. Implicit in my statement is that it is my opinion, and I talked about why I feel that way above.

Yeah the framing from Black Flag means there is literally no lore reason they cannot do an AC game set anywhere at anytime.

Nope. After playing six of them, I think I'm done.

I get why it exists from a publishers perspective. I'm just not sure what's the value proposition for a consumer.

But what about for a consumer that has limited time and money to play games?

I'd love to see what China Mieville could do with an assassin creed game.

Is there any reason these games need to exist (other than to make money for Ubisoft obviously)? It seems that everything they're trying to do in Syndicate has been done better by other games. Batman has better combat and stealth. Shadow of Mordor does more interesting things with its open world. Dishonored has a more…

It would be nice if Bethesda could figure out a way to make being a guild leader significant other than some BS random missions to find a sprite or w/e.

This weekend I'll be playing Baldur's Gate 2. I'm in the Throne of Bhaal (the final expansion), and in the last stages of a playthrough spanning Baldur's Gate 1. In the first game, my character almost died to a room filled with rats. Now, I'm destroying dragons amd demi-liches without breaking a sweat. AD & D 2e…

I subscribe to audible at the highest tier, but I acknowledge that I'm a special case.
