by Jeff Mattas, Aug 31, 2012 11:00am PDTIn this week's game-packed episode of Weekend Confirmed, Garnett Lee, Jeff Cannata, and Jeff Mattas are joined by regular guest Christian Spicer, and special guest Phillipe Bosher of Buried in the Credits. The crew discusses whether or not Guild Wars 2 brings a breath of fresh air to the MMO space, and a host of other games get some love as well. Forza Horizon, The Walking Dead, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, and Thirty Flights of Loving are just some of the games on tap for critical dissection. And of course, things get wrapped up with a healthy dose of Finishing Moves.

Imagine if Assassin's Creed were a Japanese franchise, but was otherwise identical to how it is now. Literally the only difference being the country of origin.
Would the critical reception for this game be any different than western AC?
My take is that, yes, it probably would to a certain degree, but I don't believe that it would have made such a difference as to actually affect the game's reputation among gamers, nor do I think it would have exempted Revelations from the critics' general complaint that it came too soon after Brotherhood to have the impact it should have had.

Yeah, I don't think they have much affinity for our games either.
