This is going to be their biggest flop isn't it? Atleast Mirage seems like it has some improvements over Valhalla even if I don't think it's worth its price. But this game has no redeeming qualities and that naval combat belongs to a mobile game not a AAA game.
Yeah I watched part of a walkthrough and have zero interest in picking this up. I used to love AC. It just got very lazy to me. Same engine, same mechanics, same UI etc etc. Sure this seems to have more stealth elements again but it still looks like if you played Valhalla, Odyssey and Origins at least - that this is more of the same. Maybe Ive lived too long and they just assume they can fool a lot of brand new players (and sadly they re probably not wrong about that).
You nailed it. It's a Valhalla DLC. They removed most of the open world contents and scaled it down to a 30-40 hour game without changing much. Re-using animations, no mo-cap for cutscenes and using AI so they look like how cutscenes in Valhalla looked. From what I've seen, people are saying that the story is meh as well.
Agree with this. It's more of the same which probably some people will like. But they are charging full price for what is essentially supposed to be a DLC so it's less effort and a win for them. They have marketed the hell out of them "returning to their roots" though. Probably better value when it goes on discount. I do like how the game looks but it just doesn't captivate me enough to buy it at full price.
Loving it. Playing it on Ubisoft + on xbox for 15 pounds a month is a great deal, because I can complete it within a month.
I always thought they should have just gone for it and done one that deals with that future stuff by now. At least that would be fresh. Rather than the little hints that go nowhere in the past games. Just here goes the future game whatever we were getting at all these years with the little pieces.
Probably end game stuff after you unlock all your skills. Just looks cool but if they actually justified the teleport using the story(something similar to how the Ghost stance was in Ghost of Tsushima) then I don't mind. But if they added it just for the heck of it then yea totally unnecessary.
True. But, that would be the challenge right. What have you been getting at with the future snippets the past what decade? Go for it.
I always hated that about AC even back when it was a series that usually garnered groans. Felt like such a jarring break in the immersion.
I don't actually mind that sort of stuff when they're proper end/post-game abilities (no idea if that's the case here though). Let the player go wild with absurdly overpowered builds, sure, why not.
I want my assassin to have tactical nuke instead of hidden blade, while we're at it.
As long as it's a stealth nuke!
That's the thing. When you're in stealth, you're just using whistle, and every opponent taking the bait, and when you're done, the pile of bodies is half population of the city.I fought a minotaur and cyclopses and traveled to Atlantis in Odyssey, I think it's fair to say any illusion of realism is long gone.
Now add to that teleportation and x-ray vision... Not even in Watch Dogs you could teleport, while using ridiculous amount of high tech.
Recent AC is stuff of Crysis and Alien vs Predator, when it supposed to be in remote realm of historical period. Ubi should just go full into the futuristic era with overpower excess.
This is exactly why newer entries in the series are without any direction and consequences, and the only challenge is amount of clutter stuff to collect around the world.I fought a minotaur and cyclopses and traveled to Atlantis in Odyssey, I think it's fair to say any illusion of realism is long gone.
