Dodger Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I wonder when/if we'll ever get a numbered AC game again and if we'll ever get simply Assassins Creed 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC5 should bring back Desmond and continue that story to a better ending and eventually lead to a full modern entry that brings the war of templars vs assassins out into the open and into the modern age to settle once and for all 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as much shit as people gave the modern story, that’s a big part of what I loved about 1-3(not really 3 though). The mystery and cliff hangers in each game was fantastic and I couldn’t wait to find out more. Then they ended it the way they did and never gave us the modern game they were CLEARLY building towards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I hope I'm not spoiling this for anyone. Desmond is dead. I'm not sure I want the AC Universe to turn into Marvel, where everyone who dies eventually comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I want the AC Universe to turn into Marvel, where everyone who dies eventually comes back. Assassin's Creed 3 was like 11 years ago at this point, and... (Valhalla modern day spoilers) Spoiler In Valhalla, you learn that Desmond's consciousness was actually absorbed or uploaded or some shit and that only his body died. Also, since when is "everyone" coming back? I think the modern sections alone show that everyone AC protagonist has stayed dead for hundreds or thousands of years! All this said, nothing about this one has looked even remotely interesting to me so far unfortunately. I just don't think the old style of AC game was actually very fun or engaging for more than a few hours. I also think that the vast majority of stealth games suck complete ass and that Assassin's Creed stealth is like bargain bin shit you get in a clearance sale, so it's bad piled on top of bad. Personally I'd like an RPG style AC set in a dense city with some wilderness and maybe a second city of a much different style. As much as I like the RPGs, I feel like they mostly took place on flat plains between small towns, or very flat cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the amount of time that has passed is irrelevant. I still discover old books, movies and games I never played and would be annoyed if someone just spoiled them for no reason. There's far too much media for the passage of time to be a meaningful reason to spoil something for no real reason. On the other hand, I also tend to stay out of threads about games I'm not very far in weeks after launch because I reasonably assume people will start speaking more and more openly about things I might not want to hear!

Also, as for discovering old media. @SaysWho? remarked about this in the other thread but after a certain amount of time it's easy to dodge spoilers because no one is talking about it anymore. Who's talking about Unbreakable in 2023? No one. So it's easy to not get spoiled on that movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn’t work for me because I’ll always think to myself when something gets spoiled “no big deal, I’ll just forget about it shortly after” and as soon as I have that thought it cements the spoiler in my head for eternity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Visually, Ubisoft really set the bar so high with Outlaws that everything else looks poor by comparison, but this really failed to impress on a technical level. The gameplay on the other hand, looks mostly good. I re-played a bunch of the AC games at the beginning of the pandemic, including AC1, and I'm excited for that style of game again. I loved the idea of joining a group of people and telling them to act natural. It's a stark reminder that not every enemy NPC needs to have a perfect IFF system built in. Managing that line is really hard and I hope that Ubisoft finds a good balance. It wouldn't make for a great trailer, but one of the things that I miss from AC 1 that it almost looked like we'd get here is "homework." For those that don't remember, the big assassination missions had optional pre-mission mini-quests that you could do that would fill out your options. One might give you the guard locations or rotations, another might give you some way to sneak in undetected, another might suggest how you could set a trap for the kill. You could often ignore all or some of it, run in, fight a bunch of guards, kill, and get out, but to me that mostly meant that there wasn't a clear failure state other than death. I liked doing the "homework" and choosing what of it to use and what of it to ignore for any given mission. More than almost anything else, other than the parkour, it made me feel like an assassin who actually had to think through a plan, rather than just running inside and sneaking my way through a hedge maze and then a maze of rooms and then a maze of rooftops, etc. None of what they showed precluded any of this, and the whole thing with the bird hints that other kind of planning might be necessary, but I hope it wasn't simply a bird nerf. Overall, very much looking forward to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Husband just asked me what I'll be playing when we return from Japan in late October. This, Spider-Man 2, or Alan Wake 2. I'm probably gonna go with Spider-Man first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Looking forward to it but I'm not hyped yet. I'm worried I won't enjoy it not being "open world". Assassinations can get old quick with this type of gameplay so idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nublood Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 But seriously, this looks like every other AC game that's currently available. What am I not seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
