Have people stopped getting pissed about before release DLC? Why can't they just include this as a bonus after beating the game rather than making people pay. Fuck you Ubisoft. I'm still sore over BullShit DLC practices.
Assassin's Creed III DLC Introduces King George Washington
- Thread starter Fanghawk
- Start date
Because they sent the game off for certification, all cheered, and had a little party.Xdeser2 said:
Then they were like "OK... what are we going to do with the programmers and artists who are now sitting around with their thumbs up their butts for the next couple months until release?"
Answer: They start doing DLC.
Why do people not grasp this?

Is this like Ubisoft going 'Alright, we've annoyed the Brits enough now, lets focus on the yanks to make it up to them.'
I personally find it hilarious.
I still plan on killing ten Americans for every redcoat I stab though.

No...no they aren't. They were not allowed to have sex with their patrons. Sure, [a href=http://chaari.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/did-geisha-engage-in-acts-of-prostitution/]some of them most likely did[/a], but prostitution was not part of their job description. Acting like it was is going along with a damaging cultural stereotype that a lot of people believe.Therumancer said:
No one believes that George Washington was a power-mad despot, and even if they do, he's not around anymore to be affected by that belief. But a lot of westerners still go to Japan and try to have sex with the geisha, because of that false stereotype and things that perpetuate it.
Well it's not all that silly really. After the American Revolution no one was really sure what the government of the future United States would look like and there were indeed some who wanted a constitutional monarchy like that in Britain, with George Washington as the head of a royal American dynasty. George Washington wouldn't ever of been convinced to take up the idea, but I wonder if someone like perhaps Andrew Jackson would of been more willing. Too bad he was only a teenager by the time the war ended and no one of any significance.
Yeah, one of my teachers told us that story this week.Codeman90 said:
Looks like a fun premise to play around with, tinkering with history is always fun though
Some other fun facts for you guys:
It's not a rule that a development company can't start planning DLC until after the game releases.
The DLC is not going to be day 1.
The story is different and separate from the story of Assassin's Creed 3 SO THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THIS IS CUT CONTENT.
If you buy the season pass you get a discount on all of the DLC, meaning that you get all five for 6$ each. A rarity in the industry.
The Washington DLC is made up of 3 DLC parts.
The other two DLCs are Multiplayer.
The DLC's plot is being announced because it is an alternate version of AC3, so there are no spoilers.
THE DLC'S PLOT BEING ANNOUNCED DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE DLC IS FINISHED, AS INDICATED BY THE CONSPICUOUS LACK OF SCREENSHOTS.
Just to remind you again: THIS IS NOT CUT CONTENT. YOU CAN PLAY AC3 ON ITS OWN AND EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT SELF-CONTAINED STORY. AND IF YOU WOULD NOT LIKE TO PLAY A MORE REVISIONIST TAKE ON HISTORY AND PROBABLY KILL GEORGE WASHINGTON, THEN FEEL FREE NOT TO, AND ENJOY YOUR 30 HOUR GAME.

I'm...actually okay with this. It's kinda what God of War did with some mythological figures. They just exaggerate the events to make them exciting for a videogame, which is fine. I mean, no one wants to play a game where you sit down as Washington and sign papers...press X to sign this paper. Press Square to sit down.
...I suddenly had a Heavy Rain flashback...
At any rate, I've always been fine with AC altering history. If anyone out there is offended by it, then my friends, I can't do much about it. For its fiction. And its been done thousands of times before AC. So yeah, go for it, Ubisoft.
It's still not a day 1 purchase for me (I have lost my faith on such thing) but I'll get it eventually.

Why, thank you, good sir or ma'am. That's actually very helpful. The Season pass for Borderlands 2 disappointed me a bit so I'm a bit skeptical at this point. But like I said, this helps.Calvar Draveir said:

OT i dont like the sound of this. no matter what you have to say about fist fighting teh popes, or "the artifact", assassins creed has never really done anything quite this silly if you ask me.
the further on we go it just seems to get more and more bizarre, in regards to the story.
also, da fuqs up with splitting this into three packs?
EDIT: i've just read that their selling multiplayer dlc packs aswell, and i would like to say, if the co-op mode doesn't come with the vanilla game, bricks will be shat.
Facts have never stopped the hate machine that is Fox News before, so why start now.Carrots_macduff said:
i wasn't implying it would, just making a joke about ubisoft and their adorable little flame shieldGrimTuesday said:
You know, I'm happy to see Ubisoft take the pure historical fiction route. Plus, it's not like revolution in other places in the Americas didn't sometimes end with a king. Look at Henri Christophe and Jean-Jacques Dessalines in Haiti. After L'Overture dies one makes himself a king and the other makes himself an emperor. It makes more sense to me than the background of the main character. The British colonies didn't even have a word for a person of mixed indigenous and British heritage, unlike the Spanish and French (mestizo and metis). Maybe that's why he's so special. I don't know. I'm trying to hold off judging until I've played the game, but all of these trailers are making it really difficult.
