Black Flag doesn’t need a remaster. It was launched on PS4. AC3 is probably the least popular title, and I’m not sure where it lies as a priority. It’s older, right in the middle of the 360/PS3 era. Rogue, by comparison, was released the same day as Unity and DAI, but exclusively for the older platforms. There has always been a fan outcry for remastering Rogue. I’d like to have the entire NA story remastered, but I’d chose Rogue over AC3 every time. While I agree that BF doesn't need a remaster, but no doubt it was held back by ps3/360. The difference in graphical fidelity between BF and Unity is night and day. Yeah its funny having just coming off playing MEA multiple times and all the bitching and moaning about the animations and stuff, it is still a beautiful game in terms of the quality landscapes etc. And Ryder may have some weird ass animations but the actual underlying graphical quality of Ryder versus Connor, Shay or Edward is like a photo versus a cartoon.

dazk mmmghhh... Ryder... gorgeous. The gaming gods were kind, and I got a bit of time in Brotherhood. Brotherhood gleefully espoused the Medici propaganda about Borgias being incestual, and painted Lucretia as a horrible, horrible woman vs righteous Sforza who Fights for Freedom! Ewwwish.... Okay, whatever, ‘tis the formula. Cezare is still as hot as hot gets, thanks goodness. But Ezio really fights my desire to be an Assassin. I killed Lucretia to get the key. He desynchronized. Well, fine, who am I to argue with you, I am only a player. It's you who are going to look like a dumbass Ezio Auditore di Fierenze, hitting her in the face and pouncing on her for half-an-hour like a wannabe rapist ‘cause it’s more gentlemanly in your books than taking her out with one quick move. Which is insulting tbh, since by some reason it’s only men that deserve to be killed. Anyway, after carrying around Lucretia for a while, Ezio switched to carrying Sforza around, while she called him a whoreson and told him not to harbor any illusions on account of her being on him like white on rice. I figured the game would desynchronize if I tried to kill her. If I have to sit through a maudlin dialogue later on about how she actually lied about it, I am gonna need a puke bucket. Other than carrying historic bitches around the Castlo Di’angelo like a moron Ezio is, we had the most torturous experience of game performance killing one of Borgia Captains. Ezio clung to the walls for dear life interpreting Shift as 'you need to move down an inch" vs "you need to bravely leap down onto the pavement! FAST!", the viewpoint was all over the (mostly wrong) place, Ezio pounced on targets that were somewhere behind his left shoulder rather than directly in front of him, because LoS is a bitch worse than Katarina S... Luckily the AI had as much trouble managing the enemy, so eventually, the Captain inadvertently bumped into Ezio while being trapped in his own brain-dead pathfinding. So, yay, in this banana-peel slip worthy comedy of clumsiness we liberated another sector of Roma. I take it the game finally going to offer me an opportunity to explore and do climbing-platforming now, as Ezio said “let’s take Roma from Borgia through the will of its downtrodden and oppressed masses, etc”. Well, we’ll see about it.

The good thing is the controls and combat get infinitely better as the you move through the games I rarely blame lag for my inglorious in-game performance, but there is anoticeable extra lag in this one, maybe due to the extra layer of security b/c it is the first AC with an MP component. Or maybe it's Steam sales. Or maybe my IS provider is having a moment.

In AC Rogue yesterday I cam across that stupid game mechanic where you can't kill the person you are fighting till you have chased and found them twice, so even though you catch them the controls to attack don't work. But I also had to fight a guy and Shay just wouldn't respond to commands or responded too slowly even though I have absolutely no trouble with the combat, it was like the game was saying lets make this a bit harder I honestly found the controls on KB+M really awkward in the Ezio games and whilst I am a coordinated person using multiple keys etc, that type of dexterity alludes me

So in AC Rogue the last couple of days Shay has made the transition from Assassin to Templar. I am yet to feel like I am a Templar though, except that its nice not to get hassled by the Red Coats when walking around. I am really enjoying the game but I just wish I could stay focused, but there is always something distracting to do. Oooh look there is a rabbit lets hunt it, oooh I am being stalked by a stalker lets find them and kill them, hey lets do that pigeon catching quest, lets renovate this building, oh damn don't have enough wood, I know lets go to sea and sink ships to get wood, hey look a white whale lets hunt it, look a ship wreck lets explore it...... anyway I am sure you get the picture So consequently haven't progressed the main story line from going to NY, have been concentrating on clearing the map of gang hideouts and collectibles and going to sea to get resources. Need to find some warehouses to raid but the symbols that look like warehouses haven't been so far. Couple of pics: Shay gets a makeover from Assassin to Templat: The Morrigan tricked up with Kenway sails and almost fully upgraded:

dazk and @carefull , I never struggled with AC controls/response in any of the games. I know it's a very common complaint, though. I've always assumed that the struggling players were playing on PC. I've always believed that AC was clearly designed to be played with a controller. Origins restored some of the fluidity of Unity, which Syndicate destroyed, but it's not as perfect as Unity. Unity is smooth as silk. Its parkour and navigation was pure perfection. dazk , I really like Shay's outfit once he's a full Templar. That's like a probationary outfit he's wearing in that pic. I always complete nearly the entire game before advancing the story very far. The main story is pretty short, unfortunately, so I like to savor what I can. Morrigan is such a badass vessel. Another perk of being a Templar is that those with wealth and resources will have the best toys. I like Shay, the Templars and the core story. I like fighting on the British side of the war for a change. ("American" games often put us at odds with our British forebears.) I really don't like that the Assassins are essentially idiotic jerks. I'd have sided with the Templars even if the Assassins weren't insolent pricks. They didn't need to be unlikable to become "the enemy". Some of the dialogue and VA work was not really up to AC standards. Still, I really like Rogue. Shay, Morrigan and working with the Order all make the weaknesses easy to take in stride. I also like that we get to see how Achilles ends up a cranky old hermit in the woods. Shay is a BAMF. I don't know any Irish personally, but I will add this: They really need to start casting Irish actors to play Irish characters. It's not an accent which foreigners mimic well. Edit: Adding some new thoughts on AC Origins... I noticed that they added another "pack" to the game, today. (The "First Civilization Pack".) These are primarily cosmetic, even when they contain weapons. The very best weapons and shields are, nearly without exception, those gained during regular gameplay. I've already commented on Ubisoft's over-priced additional content. I think it's crap that those who bought the Season Pass (not I) don't get all of these outfits, weapons and mounts as part of that investment. It's a pretty crappy money-grab from Ubi. While they've not infested the game with micro-transactions, it does annoy me to see that they seem determined to milk their most dedicated players via outfits, mounts and unneeded weapons. Halve the prices at least, Ubi, and give it to Season Pass players as part of their sizable investment. In regard to the packs themselves, they're kind of goofy. The Nightmare Pack grants an okay looking outfit, some unneeded weapons, and an undead flaming horse (a D&D Nightmare). How this makes sense in Ptolemaic Egypt is beyond me. The First Civilization Pack grants Isu-themed weapons and mount to go with the Isu Armor outfit. These could make sense in-game, considering the important role of the Isu in the series' lore. The way in which they're lacking is that they aren't tied at all to the story. Riding around in an Iron Man costume with glowing weapons and a horse that looks like it might start flying-- this should elicit a response from the extremely religious/superstitious people of the game. Yet, even Bayek isn't particularly phased by finding this crazy gear. It's disappointing, and sours what could've been a fun bit of bonus gear. Finding the Isu ring in AC3 was special. It was framed well in advance as a priceless treasure of unknown quality. When it was found, it proved to be inconspicuous yet powerful. Origins' glowing armor and gear is contrastingly ostentatious and completely lacking in mechanical impact. Hell, even Ezio's special armor in AC2-- crafted by Altaïr with Isu knowledge-- was badass and impactful. Just a few gripes about a mostly stellar game. I'm not a fan of these design choices, nor especially of the money-grab tactics.

Tossing up whether to clear the River Valley or progressing the main story, what do you recommend Element Zero ? I think I like the Jackdaw and Morrigan equally to be honest Yeah I like Shat a lot but I would have liked him to be a bit more humorous, maybe that comes later and yes I love the Irish accent very much. Kennedy which is my surname I think is the most common Irish surname

If you've been tasked with going to Albany, I'd go ahead and clear the valley first. The main quest will take you to many of these places, but not at a pace that allows for exploration. That being the case, I like to have them well explored in advance. I remember one island, the one with the Old Growth Forest, feeling insanely huge on my first PT. Once I knew my way around, I could navigate it efficiently. Still, it's a big area. It alone felt half as large as "the Frontier" in AC3, though less inhabited. I love Jackdaw; I just love Morrigan more. That new, mean-looking ram; its smaller size; the puckle-guns and the fire barrels all push it over the top. Plus, that paint job--it's a badass Templar death-dealer. Do you know, yet, if you have the Templar Pack? If you see the "Siege of Fort de Sable" or some such, that's it. It's on an island in the Southeast of the North Atlantic. I just love that wheel and those sails.

Yeah the Morrigan looks better than the Jackdaw especially the ram but I haven't noticed much in terms of it being better in battle than the Jackdaw. I look forward to the old growth forest it sounds exciting That's it for me tonight. Thanks as always for your help and insight

dazk , I don't think you've "been to Albany" for the story sequence I'm referencing. You'll know when it arrives. I, too, had already explored Albany long before returning as a Templar. The point which I reference is a key turning point in the story. Your screenshot makes me think you've not yet experienced it. I feel like the plot races toward its end, afterward. Coolest costume in the series, in my opinion, along with Ezio's special outfit in AC2. EDIT: I totally forgot about Edward’s two awesome armors that could be earned. This series has had some sweet gear. I’m not as into the “skins” featured in more recent entries. Armor or gear that requires effort to earn should have tangible perks.

I did one of the Romulus layers yesterday since I did not have much time. Also tried a Captain nearby, but was impossible for my Ezio at the time. Now have the ability to press T to summon sort of minion assassins. Still have no interest in doing glyphs this time around, have had enough of it in the previous game.

Yeah, those puzzles are annoying. Thank god for YouTube...even then it was difficult to follow, because the puzzle would switch on you.

Yeah, and also the results of those efforts in AC2 was not worth it imo. The sci-fi/present day parts of the franchise do not have any appeal for me.

This is about ACO so I spoilered it just in case, even though its a very minor thing. I was thinking the other day: I don't want to kill the elephants, so I've never gone to their places. Well, except one for the papyrus thing, but I then let the elephant kill me. I bet it's required to 100% though. That makes me sad Also, give me more puzzles and MUCH more about the first civ. I was disappointed with modern day in ACO

Yeah, those puzzles are annoying. Thank god for YouTube...even then it was difficult to follow, because the puzzle would switch on you. Yeah, and also the results of those efforts in AC2 was not worth it imo. The sci-fi/present day parts of the franchise do not have any appeal for me. I like the modern day stuff in the early games but I must admit playing Rogue atm the modern day stuff has been quite annoying

I have a lot of deadlines coming, so I have pushed my remaining days off two week forward and won't have tomorrow for gaming and chilling... but I am going to try to catch a gaming fix. Want to move Ezio's story forward and do more tombs if I can.

So yesterday playing Rogue I discovered an interesting glitch. The Stalkers who hide and jump out at you and which on two occasions has scared the daylights out of have an issue if you sleep dart them. So once I here the whispering indicating they are about I search for them and before getting close enough for them to attack I sleep dart them, then kill them. The thing is they "wake" up from the sleep dart even after being assassinated whilst they were asleep and then just stand where they fell looking around but otherwise doing nothing Here are two that rose from the dead:

SO yesterday I spent all my time in the River Valley of AC Rogue there and are A lot of things to do at each stop and so far I am enjoying most of it. What I am not enjoying are the "Ally Battles", I failed the first one as I didn't know what to do, raced in killed the captain but then had to destroy two of something that I could see the red dots for but couldn't find anything to destroy and all my allies died. I also assumed the mission would reset, it didn't The second one I realised there was a timer and managed to kill all the enemies and I was lucky enough to still have one ally left. The third one Was annoying because I didn't want to do it but it started without me actually entering the red area, so I then had to play catch up and thanks to spamming smoke grenades I was able to save a decent number of allies. Did lots of hunting both random and the missions and encountered the sleep dart issue I had with the stalkers also occurs with Black Bears!!!! So I was up a tree and shot a black bear, then jumped down to kill and skin it but the game wouldn't let me. The Bear then just stood up and like the stalkers just stayed in the one place being friendly and looking around!!!! Raided some forts and found lots of collectables, one of which I wasted over half an hour on because a game mechaninc didn't work. Trying to get to a native pole, you have to swing on a branch and the then the game throws you down a hole. I must have swung on that branch at least 4 times (without realising it was meant to jump to a cut-scene) before in one final frustrated effort to get to the Native pole thing it kicked into the cut-scene. Anyway today will be back to visiting and clearing more River Valley sites including the forts. I wish the renovations were a bit more impressive, I always look forward to them but they are usually not much of an improvement on the hovel that was already there

I’d love to try Rogue... but I just can’t stomach the role at all. It would just make me feel dirty.

I’d love to try Rogue... but I just can’t stomach the role at all. It would just make me feel dirty. I can understand thinking that in advance. I think you'd feel differently if you played it. Shay is definitely the hero of the game, doing the right thing. It would be a mistake to believe that the Assassins are always in the right, or doing what's best for all. Shay began as an Assassin; so he's no lifelong, indoctrinated member of the Order. He takes a stand and finds a new path. Each side has its worthwhile views, and each royally screws up at times. I really appreciate that Rogue finally let us play as a hero from the Templar Order. The series has been extremely one-sided. (Rogue isn't different, except in who's "right and wrong".) A bit more nuance all around would be great.

It may be Shay is “good” for a Templar, but I abhor the views of the Templars and will not willingly play a role that is part of an organisation that should be burnt to absolute ash.

What would you do if... ... the Assassins were putting the entire world in immediate, dire danger? The Assassins are not exempt from idiotic leadership decisions. In general I'd more often side with the Assassins' views. The Templars want good things, but no one is qualified to rule such a world, making those type of decisions.

Good folks, a piece of trivia, please.
Is Altair the only assassin in the games that did sacrifice his ring finger for the blade? The reason I am asking is that I have a background on my computer that I fished off the internet when I first started playing, and it shows a sin during the leap of faith. He is missing the finger, but he is wearing dark rough cloth outfit with a scarlet sash, and he is bearded. I do not recognize him as Altair. Initially, I thought it would be one of the later days sins, but since Ezio gets branded rather than removes his finger, I assume that is true for the rest of them.
Do you get to play Altair again in a later game for a bit where he looks different? In AC2 he looked just like he did in AC1 when I controlled him for long enough for him to get to his nookie.
And, I think I need to find myself a cool background with Bayek to keep me dreaming. Though the picture I have is pretty awesome.
