Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I generally don't watch LPs of AC games unless it leaked footage or if I wanna see my VGA react to my favorite moments or missions in the game.

Yeah, she's an actress in Quebec. She has a role in one of the best drama series ever called '19-2' where she plays a badass police officer. She's pretty good.
Dunno if she plays double-duty in Assassin though.

Badass? Isn't she like 5''2, and got mobbed during one of the episodes? 19-2 is great, but not in the same ballpark as some of the best drama series out there like Breaking Bad and The Wire.
Neither is Breaking Bad in the same ballpark as The Wire.

..Suuuuure.
Yep.
I'd say that most other games are not nearly as buggy as AC games. I wouldn't mind them taking some extra months for each game to fix bugs.
French canadian sounds literally nothing like actual french, just saying.
Unless you know for a fact she can suppress her accent, it's weird to assume she'd be a candidate for french voice acting, as it would absolutely not be acceptable to hear the canadian accent on a french version.

Um except she is an actress and can at the very least already speak and read French, and she's doing a British accent for the game, so it's not the wildest ideas that she may know how to do a formal French accent, and she's likely had to modify her language and delivery in a number of ways anyway considering it is a period setting.
Yeah I feel exactly the same. I'm just bored of it now.

You do know it is extremely easy to pass for a frenchman when you're from Québec, right? You just need to tighten up those ass cheeks of yours and talk like you're on the highest key note possible and voilà, done and done.
Abreviations or even mixed up words from french and english that are usually used in Quebec can just be skipped, it's not like you literraly need to use them when speaking in french here. French is french.

If you only knew the insults and simple ignorance that you hear coming from frenchmen when talking about Québécois and their french, you would have appreciated more the non-serious jab.

Reminds me of this thread.

Man if only this was real i would get excited again for a AC game.
Awh aren't you cute.
Belgian french, Canadian french, arabian french, african french, or hell australian and vietnamese french, those are "french", and in no way do they sound like proper french. Get offended all you like, there is nothing wrong as establishing the french from France as to be the proper one. In no way does it mean it's better. France itself has different accents, it's just that in terms of codes and voices, the paris accent is used as the regular accent (and we're talking about a game taking place in paris). In terms of voice acting, unless you know for a fact that the french canadian can suppress her accent entirely, then no it would not fit at all, it's not just a matter of expressions. Also, most accents are "'singing", which makes them easier to mimic, the "paris" accent is extremely flat. So using the fact that she can do a british accent is not really proof of anything.

The sheer number of Quebec stars that goes on to live in France (where they are much bigger) and get that france accent on the fly proves you are wrong. We were talking about Canadian french, not anywhere else. Drop it.
We can still hear the accent of most Canadian speaking French, if they're trying to be authentic with the French accents (and by that it means mastering the proper Paris French accent ...which is really different from the one you hear on TV usually)
Bahahahah if they did that Unity will probably be comedy gold.
Would probably beat FFVII for the worst French localisation of all time too!
Now I know how Japanese people felt about that other guy in Heroes.

Pretty sweet to hear Sonnerie de Ste. Geneviève du Mont-de-Paris [I had to google the spelling, lol].
Also, pretty sure this is the first time a woman gets assassinated in an AC game.
I'd also say most games aren't as big and dense as AC. Also most games don't release bug/glitch free even with an extra few months. AC are usually pretty solid releases. Hopefully the patch fixes those LOD issues, but on the whole that yearly release complaint makes little sense since each Creed gets 3-4 years of dev time. Which last I checked is pretty good.

I'd definitely take any Asian or South Asian setting. They are due for Asia.

First time that a woman has been a major assassination target.

Though there was a mission back in the original where the target you go after has been swapped out with a woman instead while the target flees. I can't remember if you killed her or not though, I think Altair noticed before landing the killing blow.
Crossing Eden

Altair tried to be cool, like "Let me see your face before I kill you" and chose to spare her after he found out, I mean that this is the first time that the target is known to be female.

Is there a release day embargo for this?
I'm sure Eden probably knows the answer. Don't disappoint me Eden! I await your response hehe

Let's not forget it was directly ripped out of Rocksteady's engine. Alot of abilities are near identical to those of Batman Arkham Asylum/City/Origins.
It was an 'Arkham' game very early on.

That actually made the game better since they knew people loved that combat mechanic. Better to use something popular than to invest in your own system that does not click with your customers.

The game where you hit A for Awesome till you counter and continue your pwnage combo? Actually sounds a lot like Assassins Creeds piss poor combat. Mordor is anything but satisfying. I can play it with one hand.
