Well, Ubisoft finally gave AC fans what they asked for...

More than a decade later. Frankly, I never thought they'd do it after Ghost of Tsushima knocked it out of the park. They scrapped a wild west themed game after Red Dead set the bar too high. But when I tell you I RAN to watch the trailer. LOL And the first time we'll play as an ACTUAL historical person (Yasuke)? OR is he just a non-playable "ally?" Guess we'll find out soon enough.

 

Which one? GoT? Different strokes I guess. I admit the game is a tad tedious in the very beginning. But after that, it flies.

 

LOL. You'd still have to be specific considering there's like 12 of them. They don't all play the same. And the very first one was going back to the very early PS3/ 360 days. Very dated now. Clunky, limiting, extremely slow paced story, etc.

Not that they're all great. There have been a few duds. But when it's good, it's great.

 

That's right around the time of "Revelations" or AC 3. One set in Constantinople, the other in the American Revolution. Neither were particularly great, although the American Revolution one suffered mostly from a boring and borderline unlikeable protagonist. Even the game after that was less than stellar with the absolute WORST protagonist of the entire series (Looking at you, Arno. AKA Wish.com Ezio)

 

I did too. But they weren't top tier for various reasons. Revelations was bogged down by a slog of a story despite having the best Assassin in the series. AC3 had a great story, but a rather dull "hero." And to be fair, Connor might have only seemed dull because the voice actor wasn't great.

And don't get me started on "Unity." Such a ripe era for a great story. Amazing environment. Plenty of historical intrigue. Even one of the coolest sequences in the series (the duel on top of Notre Dame). All to be ruined by the. worst. assassin. ever. And I'm including Shay Cormac (And Alexios if you go non-canon with Odyssey) on that list. It didn't help that the game was very buggy on release, and the multiplayer aspect they tried was a good idea, but horrible execution.

 

That is my favorite too.

By far.

Still waiting to see if this is chutzpah or hubris by Ubisoft making a Feudal Japan game. Not only are they going to face scrutiny and comparison to Ghost of Tsushima based on setting. They're also facing direct comparison because many people (including me) consider GoT to be the best Assassin's Creed game despite it not being an Assassin's Creed game. LOL

 

Yeah. The change to a more RPG type game rubbed many (including me) the wrong way. The good news is that they patched Valhalla to enable a "classic" mode that plays a little closer to the older games. That said, Valhalla was the epitome of "too much of a good thing." Great setting and even story. But overbloated to the point where it's the only one I never bothered playing a second time.

Just recently got into playing Fallout 4. Yes, because of the show. I don't know how I ignored that series of games. It's pretty good.

 

4 is a single player game set in New England.(As opposed to 76 which is multiplayer)

It recently got a next Gen update.

 

Don't they all have monsters? There are mutants / monsters that live in the water, but idk about a distinctive lake monster (unless I'm not that far in yet)
