New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

[mooby]

That new trailer looks fantastic, buuuut I feel like AC has really fallen off in the last few installments. AC2 was the only game I ever got a Platinum trophy in in my life, and it's been downhill from there. The last AC I played religiously was Black Flag.

I'm excited for the new one, and I'll buy it for sure but I'm not falling for the hype anymore.

Speaking of Ubisoft products I just bought FC: New Dawn. Need something new to play.

Can you play a AC game in any order?

Yeah I would say so. There's a modern-day backstory to the games but I think they've basically gotten rid of it the last few installments because nobody was a fan of it. If you've never played I would say skip AC1, honestly that was super repetitive and boring to the point I wasn't planning on buying AC2, but AC2 was fantastic (and probably my fav. game in the series). Brotherhood/Revelations are ok but forgettable, 3 is ok, Black Flag is probably my 2nd favorite in the series, and everything after that is forgettable. If you were gonna pick any of the recent ones I'd say go for Syndicate. The setting is London towards the end of the Industrial Revolution.

I never really got into the AC series but as long as this one is legit I'll be getting it

Me and my 8 year old daughter are playing Minecraft together. A little annoying bc she insists I stay right by her side and if a bee gets near her, she gives a curling scream and will turn off her tablet.

A bee. A make believe video game bee. So instead of exploring and venturing out, we build homes and gardens and farms.

Yeah...I think it’s moved back a couple times. I thought end of May was the last time I heard.

But it’s gonna be awesome
