Before the reboot series, Ass Creed was like the Arby's of Video games.

Well you could slaughter everyone in AC1 also but there was a terrible mechanic where you'd assassinate somebody and neverending respawning dudes would fight you endlessly unless you escaped.

That's because the developers never intended for you to fight off whole groups of people, the mechanics were designed in a way to push you towards playing the game a certain way, you're meant to be stealthy and avoid large scale fights.

That's why I expected more of a "hitman" type of experience in different historical settings from the series.

The combat in assassins creed 1 was nothing like Arkham knight, being stealthy and running from enemies and hiding/blending in were the main focus of the mechanics.

Assassins creed 2 was where combat became a major focus and singlehandedly murdering an entire guard force was normal shyt. It felt like a poor mans arkham gameplay wise.

I was done with the series by the time 3 came out.

I dont think the combat was inspired by Arkham knight since they released within a few months of each other, just that arkham had already perfected the formula and I was expecting a stealth series after the first game.

I look at it now and it looks like its trying to be witcher 3, and that's still not the direction I'd prefer they go with.

The main combat mechanics are still the same in AC1, it's just that in AC1, youre not expected to fight as often. Arkham did it better I agree tho.

The freedom of choice is fine for me because if shyt breaks down, I should have the option to fight dudes if I get caught in a bad situation. If you wanna play it completely stealthy, 85% of the missions let you do that.

Hell, if you get caught in hitman you can still kill everybody loud and proud and the gamw doesnt stop you

Black Flag is still the best one.

Origins and Odyssey are good games, so are AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations, and especially Black Flag. Don't get me wrong AC3, Unity, Rogue, Liberation, and Syndicate was some bullshyt though, and retroactively 1 is damn near unplayable now.

Franchise peaked with the Ezio games. Ac3 was ass cheeks but ac4 was hard. Haven’t copped an ac game since. Got syndicate for free from epic games store and playing thru that now and it’s decent so far

I still buy all of these mainline versions still though. Ezio is one of gaming's greatest heroes ever.

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

Odyssey was amazing






wish they would get rid of the transitions to present day. Could care less and it ruins the immersion.

I didn’t get into odyssey but I didn’t like any of the AC games until Origins. Totally agree about the weird transitions to present, it had no discernible impact on the story other than being annoying and distracting

Never played Rogue but I heard it was solid, better than Unity anyway

 

[ORDER_66]

it all ended for me when they killed off desmond... now the shyt is a forever cash grab...

 

[Anti-Anime]

Ubisoft games are

Splinter cell is the only diamond in the landfill

 

[ALonelyDad]

Me, I love AC games

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

Liked 1-4 and Origins, and have no desire to play the others aside from Valhalla and maybe Unity.

Don’t get the love for Odyssey either from what I’ve seen, but tbf ship gameplay always seemed forced outside of Black Flag

 

[MenacingMonk]

The first game was rough, but there was enough for another game and better gameplay. They learned from the first one and made it better.

 

[hotbeezie]

I liked Freedom Cry

I used to shoot the piss out of them punk ass slave owners

 

[Brief Keef]

As a Nintendo guy i used to look at assassin's creed like.

[Deuterion]

Arby’s is delicious and origins...AC is not.
