That's pretty interesting. I also heard the executions are different based on which version you play of the main character.

Just grow some balls Ubisoft and stick to one gender, regardless what it is so you can fully develop and flesh them out while making the overall story more personal to them.

Maybe they just want to change it up a bit because Assassin's Creed is getting kind of stale to be honest...

yay1111383d ago

So they brought back a feature from Syndicate....? The most stale AC game

spicelicka1383d ago

A change of character skin and voice changes essentially nothing. It literally has no impact on gameplay or the story much.

Christopher1383d ago

Players: leave gender politics out of it!

Ubisoft: here's a story having nothing to do with gender, where you can play male or female

Players: c'mon, stick to one gender, and write a story reflecting that gender because that makes it better!

No winning here. None.

So I can identify as what I want depending on what I feel like on that particular day (sarcasm)

That’s fine by me as long as you keep it too them. I like to get into the story and development of characters , that’a why the idea of anyone, anytime watch dogs 3 does not at all interest me at all.

ForwardDude1384d ago

Your team is the character in Watchdog 3.

Gamerking821384d ago

I might have to wait and see more about watch dogs 3 then. I did enjoy my time with the first 2. But I had the impression that 3 was going to be more like Ubisofts Zombi . Where once dead , dead move on to someone else. That personally is not for me .

Modern Games Are Getting Too Long

While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.

Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.

IAMRealHooman29d ago

100% agree
All these ubisoft titles, Farcry, AC, Ghost recon, boast huge maps, but with the same, 3 missions or the same base to clear 100s of times. Hour 1 of any of those titles is the same as hour 100, there big for the sake of being big, with the illusion of player freedom, where we really want depth and player expression.

Give me a solid 15-20 hour engaging single player driven IP any day. Life's too short you dig.

isarai29d ago

I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.

Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.

H929d ago

Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter

Inverno29d ago

It's been a problem with pretty much every modern AAA game all through last gen and this gen. God forbid you point it out tho because all these big games are masterpieces and people lose their minds if you criticize them. Death Stranding is a fetch quest fest, but people will die defending it cause it's a "masterpiece".

Thanks for the warning. I sure would have hated to have been surprised by installing a ubisoft game on accident.

Profchaos261d ago

Because you can't play all the games on every subscription already

KillBill261d ago

Valhalla is not on GamePass.

anast260d ago (Edited 260d ago )

I like Valhalla. The others haven't aged well.
