What were your thoughts on the AC movie? I heard critics panned it as garbage but I was wondering if there was any future of the story itself within the movie. Disclaimer: I haven’t watched it yet. I think its available on HBO so I may give it a watch.

I wrote a short review about it before (note: spoilers from the movie are mentioned). 

If you don’t want to read spoilers, I would say the movie covers the main conflict between the Assassins and Templars, but fails to delve deep into it despite “slow scenes” where they could have given a better explanation so audiences that never played the games wouldn’t be too lost or frustrate the fans.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “any future of the story.” If you mean if the movie will be mentioned in the games, then yes. It was confirmed that the movie is canon as it predominately follows the modern day story, but they would have to cover quite a lot of missing information that was not addressed in the movie if they decide to mention it in the games.

Also, I recommend reading the novelization of the movie after watching it (it’s written by the author that wrote Unity’s Employee Handbook and Blackbeard’s journal). But you might find yourself disappointed that a lot of information in the book didn’t make it to the final cut of the movie.

RE: Something to think about — Have you watched the “Into the Creed” documentary video that was released a few weeks ago? What did you think of it?

I thought the documentary made a good point about how you will always find people who cannot understand what you’re into. Regardless of your passion–whether it be video game related or not–there’s no point of explaining to them what you’re into, especially if they’re not willing to understand it. It’ll only cause unnecessary frustration if you try.

However, you will also find people who do understand and share your passion. Whether you contribute very little or exceedingly, these people are happy to have you in their community. Hopefully they will give you the best memories or help you through the bad moments in your life. As one of the fans said, move on from those who can’t understand and go find and surround yourself with like minded people.

Today I had group stuff in class with my crush I was slowly getting over (something I was happy with) & the feels hit me again like a train T_T

There’s nothing wrong with having a crush (whether they know about it or not). But if it’s something you really want to get over with, hope your group projects ends well and soon… And be on good terms with your soon-to-be ex-crush because group projects consists of people you never want to be in the same room with ever again.

In AC Syndicate, I was occasionally able to trigger a few bars of the hymn Abide With Me. This is not the standard version, which has the solo violin; it’s a version that seems to be mostly flutes. It was usually triggered by climbing somewhere on or around Lambeth Station. I would love to be able to hear this on demand! This site is awesome BTW. Thanks!

I think what you’re looking is for the “flute solo” heard in “Too Dreadful a Practice for This Open Air” (starts at 0:28). The track has the melody to “Abide With Me” with lyrics from Henry Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas. 

Some of the tracks in the OST are essentially melodies from Christian hymns with lyrics from Purcell’s opera, from what I have gathered.
