What gaming thing do you think of first when you see "AC"?
- Thread starter Rotobit
- Start date
Animal Crossing > Air Conditioner > Astral Chain >>>> Assasin's Creed (I see it more abbreviated around as "AssCred" or something like that)
Era polls keep surprising me. I figured Assassins Creed would be number 1 given gaming side, but Armor Class being so low I didn't see coming. Granted it's early.
Ass Creed. But that is probably because I have never played the other stuff outside of Ace Combat and Armored Core and people don't really talk about those that much.
Assassin's Creed first but then it's followed by Auto Cannon. As in Auto Cannon 20 from Mech Warrior
Maybe one day it would have been Ace Combat or Asheron's Call but Assassin's Creed is by far the most mainstream presence out of these and it gets talked about tons more nowadays, so I learned to associate it with that. Not unlike D2: for long it was Doom 2 for me, then Diablo 2, but nowadays it's obviously most used for Destiny 2.
The only right answer.
But what the fuck at the poll results. ERA has failed me.
Assassin's creed is = AssCreed
Animal Crossing = AnCr 👀👀
Assassin's Creed but im biased because its one of my favorite franchises and I've never played an Animal Crossing game. The new one will be my first.

Hmm, not necessarily ?
That's the reason why there is a poll and different answers.
Can also be Animal Crossing, Astral Chain or whatever other words people have mentionned.
Air Conditioning in a general context. Armor Class in an RPG context. Assassin's Creed in a game name context.
PoE, I always think Path of Exile which is confusing since most people hear use it to refer to Pillars of Eternity.

Assassin's Creed should never be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to its aggressive, belated land-grabs of signifiers that already have an established meaning. We might give a pass to the Greek game, which had an unimpeachable literary basis for generating a namespace collision with Super Mario Odyssey and was also developed in parallel, but you run into something like The Fate of Atlantis and there's no choice but to call out the tactic as ridiculous. Tom Nook would never stand for this sort of muscling into his search results, and AC will always mean Animal Crossing.
Assassin's Creed because it's long and ardeous to say compared to AC... second would be Armored Core, but I prefer saying it in full.
Your heart is in the right place, but even back when the game was current and Apolyton was still the big 4X hangout, it was more or less universally referred to as SMAC.
As for Alien Crossfire, don't ask.
Oh i know, it's just personally that's what comes to mind. Haven't thought of Apolyton in some years, thanks for the reminder.
