Nonsense! It is obviously flawless!

So Assassin's Creed Unity is a Facebook game that accidentally got a full retail release on PS4, Xbone and PC. I think that explains why whenever you browse the gear shop, it shows you how much real money it costs to get that item before you're supposed to.
And why every time you pause the game, it encourages you to spend real money to buy ability boosters that make missions easier.

I knew that was coming. Microtransactions in the actual game. Dead Space 3 took the first step, Mass Effect 3 and Inquisition's multiplayer modes tested the waters, and now Ubisoft are onboard. I really hope gamers have a bit of backbone over the next year or so and refuse this.

After escaping the Bastille, I became an Assassin and the manager of a small cafe (which I have spent more time doing than assassinating people), and joined an online clan called LGBT Assassins. Which sounds like something Frank Miller would come up with.

"Hey, Gotham City, we're the LGBT Assassins, and we're here to freak you all out with our crazy alternative lifestyles!"
*Batman punches them in the larynx, calls them a punk and then goes on a psychotic inner-monologue*

I mostly keep to the cafe because I hate the Assassins in this game.
When you get inducted, they make you drink this weird hallucinogenic that we've never seen in the series before, despite being inducted at least three different times throughout the series. It's obvious they were just out of ideas/really wanted to rip off the Scarecrow/Demon Trial levels from the Arkham games.
It's also really weird because there's a five-man Assassin Council that give you missions. For some weird reason, I only know my mentor and Mirabeau. The other three are just always hanging around, but they never say their names and I haven't gotten database entries for them yet. Arno's been working with them for a year or two as well. I need to find the "Awkwardly ask the person you've been talking to for ages what their name is" button and press it quickly.

I now know two more of my co-Assassins names! Hopefully I'll learn the last one's name in this, the last quarter of the story. Maybe if I'm lucky, too, one of them can have some form of character establishing or development, too!
I also just did the incredibly suspenseful and challenging Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat investigation mission. At the end I arrested Charlotte Corday, because going outside the law to kill someone who you believe deserves to die and that their death will lead to peace is just plain wrong.

You killed Marat....... and then............ ARRESTED Charlotte Corday....... sorry, what?
Do the assassins have a side in the revolution or are they just trolling?

No, I did one of the investigation missions where you solve murders. Because of it being so famous, the Marat one had a lot of attention devoted to it, being the biggest one in the game, despite the fact Corday didn't really care about being caught, and in-game tells you she did it the moment you interview her.
You've gotta love the idea of someone who's devoted his life to killing for the greater good sending someone to the guillotine for doing exactly the same. I think they gave me a halberd and 500 francs for it.

I keep thinking AC: Rogue...the supposed "lesser" of the two games seem to make a lot more sense and is more fun that whatever the fuck is going on in France.

No joke, Arno's bland as hell story makes me miss Connor. At least he had comprehensible motivations, a sweet-ass longcoat, a cool ship and a very relate-able personality flaw where he refuses to accept any viewpoint but his own as right. Rogue's story sounds a lot better to me. Not just because you get to play a Templar, but also because You have to assassinate Adéwale. And he doesn't just turn evil in the gap between IV and Rogue. He's still the same slave-freeing badass as he was in IV and Freedom Cry. That sounds like it has a lot of potential for drama and feels.
