Opinions on the Ending. (SPOILERS!!)

[Bounce]

What are your opinions on the ending? I think that it wasn't that good. It seems that Ubisoft hates relationships.

[BD dude]

it was a poor and lazy ending. They do that because it is a easy plot device to get people emotional about a game. really, it has turned me off. I do appreciate the offer from UBISoft, but right now I just really don't want anymore of their games becuase of endings like this one. Not just that they killed her off, just that it has become so predicatable (?). I wanted to get FarCry, but freakin don't want spend the time getting attached to a charactor just to have them killed off becuase it makes the story easier.

There is a petition out for a alternate ending, but I'm sure they will not. They did not for Lucy and that was even more senseless and there was alot more outcry.

Felt lazy and rushed just like when you had to kill Bellic.

[Bounce]

Yeah i agree. I really liked Elise.. what a shame

[Chronos]

tbh i didn't really care for her all that much lol, all the ending made me think is that if u love arno u have a death flag haha, felt alot more when people in BF died lol

The whole game was pretty lackluster in terms of story in addition to the ending. They did a poor job explaining the artifacts, there was a complete lack of a present-day story. They need to re-examine what made AC2 so incredibly successful and take the next AC game back to that.

I don't understand how Arno was wearing Master Assassin ♥♥♥♥ when they expelled him from the Brotherhood. Isn't that one hell of a loose end to tie up? How am I still able to do Co-Op with other assassins if expelled from the Brotherhood? How were the other assassins so cocky when I could have dropped a smoke bomb and killed everyone in that room before it cleared? Since i was expelled why can i just walk right back into the den of assassins and nobody even blinks twice or talks? Did I mention why did Arno have Master Assassin ♥♥♥♥ if he was no longer an Assassin? Once expelled after Arno went on a drunken rampage for booze killing many people wouldn't the Assassins feel some responsability to do something about his drunken killing spree? I can go on like this for a while the ♥♥♥♥ just doesn't make sense.

I just beat it and I can't believe how stupid and lazy the ending was. Elise died the most silly way ever and she was the only female character in the series I really liked. "Don't worry Arno I can take him!" Gets annihilated. I like the first civlilization stuff but they just threw it in this game and gave no reason for the sword of eden. Germain could of used it throughout the story like in Brotherhood. Instead it was just a terrible boring boss fight. There was no iconic surprise twist at the ending. Just major disapointment.

Exactly on your last part - they explained nothing with regard to the alien artifacts to further the story, and no present day story made it even worse. They just had a really bad team do this game. They need to have the team that did AC2 come back and pay them whatever they need to to get this series back on the right track.

You say back on track but black flag was insanely popular and well received, you don't need to go back to ac2 lol however I am not supprised it wasnt great, seemed more like a mechanic test game then anything, similar to how ac3 was horrid but they where able to implement and improve on its mechanics to make black flag great, im just gonna hold my breath and hope they take from what was good in this game and apply it to a great story and improve on it for next game.

Well I'll certainly agree on AC4 being a great game - it absolutely was. The reason I mentioned AC2 is because IMO it's the absolute best game in the series by a mile. They nailed every single part of that game.

You know, you bring up AC3 - for me, while there were certainly things I didn't like about it, and previously it was definitely my least favorite in the series, AC3 was a masterpiece next to Unity. As far as I'm concerned anyway. :) AC3 they just really failed on the stealth / sneaking element which was basically nonexistent. AC4 they fixed that stuff, and maintained the very good combat system and had themselves a very good game.

I liked building the town in AC3, but kinda expected it to lead to more...something. I liked what they did with it, just thought it would lead to something. Personally I think that AC2 was the best, then Brotherhood, then Black Flag. I have only played the PC ones though, except Rogue.

it does kinda bother me that the last few have been "insta" assassins. it does not make sense, like Desmond was basically a trained assassin till he ran away in his ?mid teens? i would imagine alot of training till then. but he seems barly able to defend his self. On the other hand, Arno, Conner, Edward, and Ezio really had no training. Especially Edward. I guess you could argue that their life as a hunter/pirate/time in bastille, etc gave them some skills, but they obviously had assassin technique's down pat.

I thought Arno and Elise were developed decently, some don't, but I could get into it. I think the story let down (i guess beating a dead horse here) is that it was a predictable, already used revenge plot, and a predictable ending that killed a (imo) dynamic, developable charactor. It was not even a suprise when he was kicked out of the assassins. I was mildly suprised the one who killed the assassin leader was Belac (or whatever, about to eat dinner), i thought it was the other guy that had the posion/medicine.

it would have been kinda cool if you had like 85% sync or something you could save her (like Mass Effect 2). I guess that would depend one how far they take his story which i understand is not very far. He certainly finds love (or atleast a good time) and has a child becuase you are playing him, but the story is just kinda ruined for me personally.

I actually wrote a ending and let my friends read it. They all liked it better...lol...and I'm a IT guy

[BD dude]

in my ending, Chuck Norris arrives and absorbs the energy from the blast, then directs it back to the sage by flexing his pec's toward him, vaporizing the sage...


lol, just joking

[bgray9054]

You hit on something good there BD Dude - they are moving too quickly through the series - people loved Ezio because not only were the games done well, but they gradually developed a quality character. Connor and Arno just feel so rished. Edward they could've done more with, too, perhaps even another game, but they're just moving too quickly through time. I liked how they got 3 full games out of the Italian Renaissance.

Terrible ending. Predictable and lazy. The last half of the game was literally the same thing over and over. I could have handwritten a better story than this in 30 minutes
