"Is Assassin's Creed Good?" is a question that many ask. So CoG tasked two of their writers to go head-to-head on Assassin's Creed!
This should make fans and collectors very happy. PureArts & Ubisoft Announce Assassin’s Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama Assassin's Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama available for pre-order on January 25.
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
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.
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.
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.
I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
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.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
The gameplay is pretty fun, and gameplay is at the core of any good game.
I like what they've done with the combat, and I've had nothing less than a ball with the last two entries. Also, as a big history guy I love seeing these interpretations. The temples in Odyssey were fantastic, and Athens was so well done. They nailed the acropolis and the all temples on and around it.
They have more creative license with the viking theme, and that's cool, as knowledge of this period is a little more hazy than others they've previously explored
Nope, story was convoluted from the 1st game. Got worse as the series went on. Gameplay was good in the 1st few but suffered from lack in diversity of engaging missions, had a lot of repeat missions. Got more grindy as the series went on(Origin and Odyssey) and never fixed or rebooted the story. The graphics and parkour have been the only two elements that have truly progressed with each iteration. Hang up the “Assassins” part UBI, and just give us new action/adventure games with cohesive plots and varying new settings/cultures. I like the sound of Beowulf chapter in Valhalla, I wish that WAS the new game. It’s just a shame some of the coolest content in the game is hidden behind DLC. Not every game needs to be a series, and full to its ears in DLC. Maybe it’s just me...
From a script & story perspective it is pathetic. Ubisoft hav e some of the worst writers and game directors in the business. They hide it behind shiny graphics, tons of empty content, and sometimes a decent gameloop (for a couple of hours before it becomes nauseatingly repetitive).
