Meh, this series needs to go away now.

Bring on the disagrees...

Riderz13374089d ago

I agree as well. Just played Assassin's Creed 3...So bad.

Cam9774089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

I agree. I've been a fan since the start but now I'm just bored. I have AC3 but I've barely touched it, Connor is dull and so is the game.

GanjaMan4089d ago

Totally agree, AC3 was awful, the setting was hideous (even Americans have to agree it was rubbish setting) and had no feeling of a real world, boston was lifeless and wasnt compact enough and don't get me started on Conner, oh my!

Root4089d ago

Yeah I felt like it forcused too much on Americans vs Recoats then the Assasins vs Templars. It felt like a massive "F*** Yeah America" in some parts.

Both sides did some pretty horrible things in the war but it plays down what the Americans did and exaggerates the Redcoats like they were the bloody Nazis are something

I think it was too sell more copies in America in my opinion.

Anyway there was other things wrong with the game

Connor sucked as a character and I hope they'll never use him again. The voice actor was terrible and he was naive and dull. I'd rather have it so Haytham was a good guy and you played him instead while George Washington and the other founding fathers took the Templar group role which Haytham lead.

I can't even finish it yet I want to know how it all ends.

They should of done the French revolution or set it in Japan.

Hell even a female Assassin set in WW2 where all the men are off to fight in the war and your back in London fighting off the templars

N311V4089d ago

I'm in your camp. Been a big fan of the series but I couldn't even finish AC3 because it was so boring. The combat was way too easy. Where did the progression go, buying weapons was pointless and "armor" upgrades were barely cosmetic. Building an Assassin Guild was hidden away in menus. For me at least, the naval battles were immemorable. And what happened to to whole crux of Assassin's Creed, that being a war between Templars and Assassins. AC4 will be the first one I don't pre-order.

Not go away... just take a break. It's a great series, but I'm burned out. But with the reported 12 million in sales of AC3, it's not going anywhere. Ubisoft's cash cow.

OhMyGandhi4089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

I absolutely love assassin's creed...but I agree with you.

This franchise is tiring out, real fast.

fermcr4089d ago

"Ubisoft confirms new Assassin's Creed for FY14"

I really wasn't expecting this. This totally cough me by surprise. /s

NastyLeftHook04089d ago

they should bring it to ps4 and have it a spin off, something very fresh set in other times.

joab7774089d ago

Actually, i once agreed but i dont now. They are the best realized worlds . They need to raise difficulty, and bring back and add character leveling amd customization. Allow us to get stronger. The problem is that they have created a game that is nothing more than a gorgeous interactive movie.

At least create a game around the naval missiims, lol. I hate to see it die when it could be so amazing

rainslacker4089d ago

Maybe just take a break. Get people all nostalgic and stuff, then come back with a big release. However since they sold 12 million units of AC3 it's probably not going anywhere anytime soon.

Brownghost4089d ago (Edited 4089d ago )

Only if sales go down, which will take a while.

omi25p4089d ago

I said right from the beginning it was going to awful and pro USA.

Hundreds of disagrees later and i was right.

It was a terrible game and im annoyed i ended up buying it even though i knew it was bad.

Trago13374089d ago

AC 3 was disappointing in my opinion. I hope this one focuses more on assassinations, and the ways you can assassinate them rather than set piece after set piece :/

rpd1234089d ago

Yeah there were plenty of ways to assassinate regular people, but you never got to actually try to assassinate a main bad guy. It was a bit disappointing. Still a fun game to me though.

A2X_4089d ago

If it's a new assassin/setting and a release on next-gen consoles then why not?

JohnApocalypse4089d ago

Good, not more yearly releases

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske191d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid191d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot191d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno190d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot190d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface190d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot190d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69191d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar202d ago (Edited 202d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake201d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga201d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx201d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga201d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9201d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler202d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666201d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52201d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott200d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara190d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52201d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner201d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52200d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster201d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot201d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster201d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned201d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9201d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1201d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster201d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
