Hello and welcome to the Brotherhood. Here I make game reviews on many different games mainly from the Open world rpg and Action/Adventure genre, along with a lot of Assassin's Creed Related content.
In a fair fight Connor wins hands down. Assassins don't fight fair though. In an urban area with each one hunting the other I would give it to Shay because I don't think Connor would be able to find him before the air-rifle would have gotten him with a sleep or berserk dart, and although Connor could likely fight off the effects I think that Shay would be able to take him down from there. Take the same scenario but put them in the woods and Connor wins hands down. Same scenario but out at sea I would give Shay the edge because he's an experienced sailor, captain and actively spends his time on the Morrigan whereas Connor does have the Acquila he just doesn't live on the ocean the way Shay has. In the hypothetical scenario that Connor got a letter or something from Achilles about Shay and the location of the box I can see him going to Paris to hunt Shay down and helping Arno. Once there I think Shay will have a significant advantage because Connor's naivety will work against him and he won't understand a thing about the french culture and likely would be utterly uninterested in involving himself in the French Revolution after everyone he trusted in the American Revolution basically broke their agreements with him when he kept his word. Aside from the French Assassins he won't have any significant connections but Shay would have been there awhile and likely has connections set up throughout Paris. However, Connor would have the advantage in that Shay wouldn't know he was coming (but would likely figure it out with how blunt Connor is). In this hypothetical I think Shay would win simply because he has too much going for him. Overall though I think Connor would win more often than not.
There was a story from the Victorian times where a man claimed there was a brain controlling machine called the heirloom and it was manipulating parliament.(this is a true story) Imagine if this game was a sequel to unity and we have to fight the other assassin brotherhoods like French one. To find out we were being manipulated into it. which is why the modern assassins are so weak. Some templar faction manipulated the world during the Napoleon wars or something. Imagine the war missions and sneaking around London to find some machine that applifies the apple of Eden or something. Would have been the best game in the series probably 😅
I literally just replayed Watchdogs, and actually finished Legion the past two weeks. The first is my favorite, love the story, Aiden Pearce, Jordi (who was okay in the second game), Chicago, the fact that game devs still had the audacity to kill off such an important character (as well as make an urban legend not so legendary). Maybe it's just a me thing, but it'd be interesting to see Aiden Pearce as an assassin
The first game felt like a book or movie you didn't want to end. It felt like you were playing a spy thriller. There was this addictive voyeurism to it of playing a character capable of taking on the underworld. It puts you in the shoes of a character that feels powerful, but in a grounded way. A good example is one of the first missions where his sister is getting pranked called by some creep. That would scare most people, but as Aiden you have the ability to find this person. I won't spoil, but its sets up the game from there. Every time I stopped a crime taking place, I would always execute the person when they are on the ground. It just makes me feel like I'm dishing out hard and swift justice. The soundtrack is also very underrated and the game can get pretty intense. I remember that mission where you had to track down hacker Defalt. It felt satisfying to catch him bc he seemed like a better hacker than you.
A mysterious ending with a likely twist. Sounds like classic asassins creed to me. Kind of reminds me of when Desmond woke up in Assasins creed revelations. After his coma.
There was one other feature you'd missed, in the Pre-Alpha cut originaly Basim was not featured, INSTEAD there was a CHOICE to play premade Hidden Ones characters as either Male or Female. That was ultimately scrapped and replaced for Basim's story.
Now after mirage is out, I find it similar between rogue and mirage that the assassin seems not entirely understand what the isu objects do, besides the apple of Edens
AC Mirage is the very first game i tried from the Assassin's Creed franchise and i absolutely loved it, it was easily a 9/10 for me. Can you all please suggest other games similar to mirage's mechanics?
Well the devs got a lot of their inspiration for mirage from older AC games like the ezio trilogy for example which funny enough I'm replaying now. I'd say it's definitely worth a try
the developers should make a community forum to take a look at when they need some inspiration or what people want they seem like they'd genuinely take stuff into consideration if it's good enough
I loved POP series ,Farcry 3,4 then all AC games till black flag. Back then I didnt have powerful pc. I used to play at 720p lowest setting with like barely 40 50 fps. But I enjoyed those games so much. and ubisoft was among my favourite. Then played unity, syndicate now at this point it started going downhill like its same old stuff but it still ok. Then by mistake I played FC 6 it was so miserable. LIke for two three months i didnt want to look at any game after it. I moved from open world to more combat heavy "hard game" like sekiro, lies of p, I loved every minute of them. Tomorrow I thought of playing odyssey, same thing is happening with me like what happened with FC 6. It so vast still so miserable. I don't know why but I think now I hate ubisoft tbh
i wish mirage have an agile type enemy like in ezio trioligy. Not too strong but bloody fast so the other could catch up with u. AS it is right now, too easy yo out run guard. Make other environment tool isn't too useful
I think if ubisoft went back to their roots they could make a real great game about him, maybe even a trilogy, but it seems unlikely given the current state if the AC saga
Just finished this game and found it disappointing honestly, I expected something different but its the same old thing again from ubisoft, they can't seem to come up with something fresh, there's always a group of people you have to eliminate and one person that's running the show that you unmask, all of their games are the same, except mirage was so short, why so short? I honestly think they're out of ideas. You only have to look at the skill tree, some of the skills there are just useless, some of the missions are plain pointless, and these contract missions are a waste of time, the guards as usual are nothing to fear and clumsy, they give up looking for you after seeing thier colleagues dead on the floor? They even brought back aspects of older games like AC 1 and 2 where you can blend in with people and pickpocket, come on guys don't you have anything fresh to offer? I enjoyed the investigations and graphics and story line but it's nothing I haven't seen before, I'm still holding out for a serious AC game but I'm not going to hold my breath, I'm all about done with AC genre now, unless the next one has something completely different to offer
Not me literally playing valhalla first 🫠 I'm going with whatever I feel like, so far in order I've played valhalla mirage and just finished the main quest for origins, I have 7 of the games total saving the good ones like brotherhood and black flag for later lol
