Has petty greed ever destroyed a franchise more than Ubisoft?
>don't want to pay royalties to use Kristin Bell's likeness after she leaves, kill off an important character
>don't want to pay likeness for the guy Desmond is based off, fucking kill your main character
Why not just properly end it and reboot it?
Like Activision with CoD?
>here are the games with your favorite characters but also here is a mandatory female protagonist segment because fuck you
Nah.
wat
No just end the current plot line with assassin's and templars and aliens whatever the fuck and just start something new that just so happens to also involve assassins in historical locations.
nah just a spiritual succeeder made by someone that isn't ubisoft. make it historically authentic no forced women by pink haired female devs, Turn it into a game about ACTUALLY being an assassin kinda like the hitman games. No one man army bullshit like in other mediocre slop games
>reboot
wait i thought AC was already in the reboot/remake/requel territory since the attempt at historic accuracy from ac1 and 2 are basically fucked and make no sense anymore with the recent bs
pls, someone bankrupt ubi already
there'd just be another game every year with a stupid story that has to get retconned
assassins creed 1 is the only one that should had ever existed
AC2 was the peak. AC3 could have been good but Connor was too much of a stick in the mud.
Rainbow Six Seige needs to fucking die already
this shit franchise should have ended after their first game
it should have ended with ezio
I heard that Mirage was actually closer to the first ACs. Can someone that has actually played the game confirm that?
Mirage is just more Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla shit, the farthest away from AC1.
>Witcher 3 clone combat
After hearing the opposite, I watched some gameplay and it's now mostly one-shot kills and with less open world bullshit. The teleportation power is stupid but fortunately optional so it doesn't bother me.
That's why I'm curious, because I keep seeing people telling that it's like Valhalla but I'm not sure if they've actually played to Mirage or if they just judged based on the trailer.
oh fuck off shill
I swear, I actually got surprised.
NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T YOU GODDAMN SHILL YOU'RE SO FUCKING OBVIOUS YOU PIECE OF SHIT, NO ONE IS GOING TO FALL FOR YOUR BULLSHIT HERE, WE ARE NOT GOING TO FALL INTO YOUR TRAP FUCK RIGHT OFF
I'm simply waiting for an answer that is more detailed than "it's just like Valhalla lmao", you stupid fuck. Stop screaming like a nagger, that's not how adults talk.
This isn't a debate. Fuck you and get the fuck off my board.
If you aren't ready for some quality discussion around video games from time to time, you're the only one that should fuck off.
Get off my board, shill.
There is no other answer to give. It IS Valhalla.
It's not. It was made using the same engine and mechanics ad Valhalla and was originally supposed to be an expansion to it. It still has damage sponge enemies with bad Witcher 3 clone combat, along with gear and special abilities/powers.
No way, really? After it was marketed so hard as the 'return to simpler times' or some shit so hard? Hysterical, they really can't do anything right.
I actually finished the game yesterday and yes, it's very close to the earlier titles in the series. Depending on the difficulty the enemies can become somewhat spongy, but not to the extent of the enemies in valhalla or odyssey.
There's still a skill tree but massively trimmed down and without any active rpg-like abilities like in the previous games.
Combat is pretty simple (you have a light attack, heavy attack, parry and dodge) and the focus is on stealth. All enemies (this includes bosses) die when you use your hidden blade, regardless of their health.
Lying shill replying to himself now lmao
been playing mirage on and off. it is my first assassin's creed game since Unity, before that I played 4 and every one before it. it is definitely similar to 1, ezio trilogy and 3. the parkour feels sloppy sometimes, and they've made it even easier i feel, but it's pretty much the same. the combat is simple but not as simple as AC1 and AC2, you have to attack them a bit and then you can instakill them. it still has moments like when ezio does his RIP part to talk to the villains which was always kino. the world feels a lot similar to AC2. i honestly felt like the pacing in the beginning was pretty fucked. it's like they tried to capture that feel of AC2 had in the beginning but really rushed it too hard. the game seems short but i haven't finished it. i only got to one major kill. the enemies are still stupid. i literally came out of the small crowd, assassinated 2 knights one after another while the guy i had to assassinate was right above and shouldve saw me, and i just walked up and killed him. i suck at devising ways to actually sneak around but i feel like its good. i never touched valhalla, origins, or the other one. i just know those are garbage. no hidden blade, no buy.
also idc what anyone says, the japan one and the one set in the witch era seems hella interesting even if its RPG bullshit again.
>AC Red
>Have to play as black samurai
>Hella interesting
I think not.
you can choose a female too.
Holy samefag, batman!
negative. also have a nice day samefagging nagger
Finished mirage last month, it's basically them taking valhalla and then removing and tuning things so it's closer to AC1 and stuff. So it tries to be like it but it's not exactly close but it's a good enough attempt at it.
Kristin Bell seems pretty based. I liked her in that Unsupervised cartoon on comedy central. Then later found out she was Elsa in Frozen and went "good for her".
You mean like how they said it was only going to be a trilogy back in 2007? And then cranked out 17+ games in the span of like 14 years?
Did Mirage flop hard? It came out a month ago and I haven't heard a single thing about it. Ubisoft used to shill really hard here too.
Yes, if flopped. Ubisoft did spam some threads here for a week or two. But most went straight to page 10 with no bumps because nobody cares about this shit.
dont you worry bro. their next big ac will absolutely have bg 3 tier shill budget
Most importantly the didn't want to pay Patrice Desilets so they fired the creator of the series. They then made Revelations with the last remainder of his ideas and have been stumbling about in the dark every since, trying to turn AC into a different franchise because they had no idea how to make AC itself fun without Patrice
Is the Animus and present segment shit even part of AC anymore?
AC died a long time ago.
How the fuck don't people get bored with the same gameplay after I don't know how many there is.
I was done after AC 4 myself.
Rogue was the last decent AC
>destroyed a franchise
Ass creed was always shit. There was nothing to destroy.
Yeah it's called Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Ass Creeds will continue coming out until the day capitalism finally collapses completely.
The first one was actually the best one all along.
Yeah. AC2 and the devs listening to people ruined the whole thing.
there is no end. Ubisoft is basically AssassinsCreedSoft at this point
Just don't model characters directly after real people lmao.
I don't really give a fuck about the actual AC story, I just like running around fighting stuff in historic places.
Yeah it's great when you make some progress in an ac game and then they hit you with the "go to work in the future answer some emails" C plot behind their shitty illuminati templar B plot that doesn't go anywhere
Fuck off and let me be a viking or a pirate
Everyone does, that's why the modern day shit hasn't had a big presence in the games for over a decade now.
I miss real stealth games. Fuck AC
why is valhalla still full price
its about time for a discounted all dlc package at like $30, but game and all dlc is like $200 currently lol
they think they're nintendo except nintendo NEVER EVER cuts their price and almost never has DLC for single player games so people trust them
Can't believe what I'm about to say but I think modern AC would work better as a linear game. Just give the players Hitman-like hubs with verticality and let them plan the assassination.
Remember when Ubisoft put the franchise on hold for a few years to try to fix it and then they just kept putting out shitty AC games?
The exact moment the ass creed franchise died
>kill off an important character
>fucking kill your main character
They also killed off that antagonist guy in AC3 too, Warren Vidic or something was it? The guy that puts you(Desmond) in the Animus. Been years since I played those.
AC3 was the end for the series, everything after that the present time stuff is an absolute waste of time.
