The Tyranny of King Washington DLC was just crazy. A person who Americans have the greatest respects for, who was a leader in the Revolutionary War, and our first president, and to be seen as a tyrant is shocking for an American. Ubisoft really gave us a what if scenario that bent patriotism backwards on its head. But, something I didn't know which the game touches up on is how in real life Washington became known as the 'town destroyer' or 'destroyer of villages' because he went around and basically destroyed towns of Native Americans. In the DLC, he gets a hold of an apple of eden and becomes a full tyrant hell bent on destroying everybody who doesn't bow to him as king. And other founding father patriots were under his control like Ben Franklin and others who became villains. That was a crazy situation to see. Imagine everything you thought you know, played out in a dystopian nightmare who are supposed to be the greatest symbols of freedom and patriotism. That DLC is a must play LOLOLOL

I can't wait to play Watch Dogs 2. WD 1, I can't see how it gets better than that, but if it does then I'm in for some more fun. Maybe a future Watch Dogs game may integrate AC more. WD Legion had a few Assassin missions which blew my mind when I found out. Something I noticed with Ubisoft games is they usually follow a similar format, liberate regions and get rid of the corruption, templars, gangs, or people who want control through a regime and rule with an iron fist. It's always fun to topple those villains.

Oh, the developers definitely treated the game and event of time very impartial. It kind of shocked me at first and I thought maybe they were being biased or something. But I listened more and more, learned more and more. When characters pop up and storyline missions happen, a summary is written describing the events and characters. And I have the handy internet for more information as I seem to use now while playing AC games. But things all came together and I feel like the war wasn't so extravagant as Americans claim it is. It's important to make sure you are represented through taxes and voting obviously, but do it for all or else it's really meaningless. Our constitution is great and highly intelligent. But had to be revised to include all which is a big hypocritical eye roll for me.

I was really surprised by this game. After the top 3 Assassin's Creed games, Odyssey, Origins, and Valhalla, I think AC3 comes as next best. I've played most of the AC series and AC3 is the most story oriented game out of the series. AC3 actually is probably the most important game because of how it defines the animus storyline. Playing as a Native American was just awesome. I took a lot of things to heart in this game because it takes place during the Revolutionary War and independence between New England USA and England. As Americans we always see that war as a great revolution against tyranny. The thing about AC games is it's important history. And they mix history into the game's philosophy. Meaning, it changed my perspective of the war. It basically was a civil war because it was English against English. Of course Natives and the French got involved. But I'll get to that later. And the Tyranny of King Washington DLC touches up on that part. To summarize the war and politics of it, I will reveal a spoiler. SPOILER ALERT!!! Skip paragraph. At the end of AC 3 when independence was won (I guess this isn't a spoiler) LOL... at the end the English were leaving on their boats (as in real life) and the crowd on the docks cheered for their freedom. Meanwhile, slaves were up for auction....................... So what independence? Slaves didn't get their independence till 100 years later. The new constitution didn't even include them. This game gave me a whole different perspective and I actually learned a huge important piece of history from the game, because I just never thought of that. Or maybe pushed it in the back of my mind. Things like this is what I love so much about the Assassin's Creed series. And the characters talk about this stuff in game. In the animus storyline, present day, you walk up to your counterparts and talk to them and you get a bit of wisdom. A bit of dialogue. I'll discuss the DLC soon...my fuse ran out.

Is nighttime too bright in most games?
Reality vs Adventure replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I actually like a bit of brightness so I can see things. I actually don't like the weather changing too fast in games from day to dark and it gives me anxiety as if I have to accomplish things before dark falls. But when dark is still bright enough I enjoy the ambience. -
