What Assassin's Creed games aren't worth playing?
I liked all I played. Be warned though that if you start with a newer one you will never enjoy an older game. AC 1 bored me because I played AC2 first. I couldn't even finish; I found it that dull. Truth though it's a great game.So here's a brief summary and why I like them.AC 1 is the beginning. Tells the "origins" of the war between Templar and Assassin. It's good if played first.AC2 is brilliant. I still have dreams of taking an Ezio pilgrimage. You know. Visit Florence, Venice, Monterrigionni. Lovely game. Don't miss this!Only thing I didn't like about AC2 was the boss. The big bad in AC Brotherhood is Cesare, who comes closer to the big bad boss. I liked ACB almost as much as AC2. ACR... Kinda liked it but it's definitely not worth playing more than once. Constantinople/Istanbul is a great change in scenery. Liked the bombs a bit but it's too many bombs for the same effect. Many game mechanics weren't worth the trouble to add but I was glad for the zip lines which made travel a bit easier. Altair's ever after was cool yet lame-why did he wait so many decades before taking on the bad guy(forgot his name)? But the ending left me with mixed feelings. Why do we have to have to take a short walk after the last boss fight? To watch Ezio flirt with Sofia? But his "meeting" with Altair was a good touchAC3 is good because of the new combat system. I once played five hours in notorious mode just trying to perfect the art of Jaeger hunting. But the character is bad and the story not all that good. Desmond story conclusion was dumber than soup. Actually even Connor's story end was dumb. Forced.AC 4 Black Flag is bloody brilliant. After every AC game I try to read up on real world history but I was thoroughly impressed with Blackbeard and the rest of the pirates that I still wonder how close to truth it was. Ship to ship combat is beautiful too. Most of all, the environment is very immersive and Edward is a good character though not like AC2 Ezio.I disliked Unity. The Unity tag had so little to do with the game, the character was beyond dull. And the Templar girl-was her name Elise?- went out with a damn whimper. Napoleon's introduction was forced. And the modern world gameplay was, in a word, childish. Something to keep ppl remembering that Abstergo is still out there.Rogue was not that much better, although I only saw some playthroughs.Avoid AC liberation like the plague. The only playable female assassin is a disappointment.
Is the downvote-answer feature necessary on Quora?
I think it is being unfairly gamed by liberal Democrats to suppress conservative thought and opinion. I have a Ph.D. in political science. I've taught at some of the most highly ranked schools in the nation. My early contributions, however, were quickly trashed by existing liberal users who seem to think it is wrong to even allow a conservative answer to appear on this site. I think making down votes public would certainly make it easier to identify who is responsible for collapsing perfecty good answers unfairly. I have, of course, brought a number of these unfairly collapsed answers to the attention of folks at Quora and I've been pleased to see them restored and protected after I made my complaint. Nevertheless, this is a tedious process that needs a systematic fix. At the very least, Quora ought to identify the liberals who are going out of their way to collapse answers for purely ideological reasons and to weaken what ever clout they enjoy on this site. My sense is that there is a sincere interest in seeing more conservatives contribute to Quora. This is especially important given the upcoming election cycle. I don't think it helps Quora to be known as a site that unfairly squashes conservative and libertarian comments and answers. One of the best things to do, in my opinion, would be for Quora to immediately uncollapse the answers of those conservatives who have been unfairly targeted and harmed by down voting, especially Jevan Lemoine.Mr. Jevan is a Tea Party Movement supporter who has come to be known as the King of Collapsed. From reading his posts, as a political scientist, it is obvious that he has been targeted purely for political reasons. I urge Quora reviewers and administrators to investigate Mr. Lemoine's treatment on this site as an example of what not to do. As far as I can tell, Mr. Lemoine has been very patient with Quora. As far as I can tell, he has been the victim of cyber abuse.
