Assassin’s Creed, a franchise I’ve been playing for longer than I haven’t. It’s a franchise that I have a muddy history with. It’s the games that got me into parts of history like the Renasaunse, the French Revolution and caring about the 7 year war. It’s also the same franchise that felt like it lost it’s way when trying it’s best to stay alive because it was learning all the wrong lessons. It went from the series I would look forward to on a yearly basis to one that makes me feel nothing more than disdain when I see a new product by Ubisoft. It’s the franchise that I grew up with, and loved deeply but also have massive amounts of hate towards the way they have treated this small open-world title that has stealth mechanics mixed in. Today I want to talk about Assassin’s Creed, what made the old generation special, why Origins was the game that had to be made, what made Valhalla the scapegoat for many of us and lastly Can this franchise be saved by non other than Assassin’s creed shadows.

@dennygunawan208 14 дней назад

I have to say if oddysey isnt made as assassin creed it will have much better reception. It is amazing as adventure game in term of freedom, so many build and explorable area...the side quest is a bit too much in the beginning because it roadblocks you from doing the main quest, but later it doesnt do that anymore. Valhalla doesnt have Origins and Oddyssey "magic" in my opinion...it really drags for last half of the game and i dont have any will to replay it.

@@danielmoung9098 What do you mean great game? I don't remember in the original Ezio trilogy a power which let's me teleport from the street up to a tower in 2 seconds with a half arsed explanation "The animus can't read Basims movement so it looks like that", if you want to believe in that explanation then the entire series problems are just Animus problems, I miss the Ubisoft which removed the crossbow from AC1 for historical accuracy. The story is super underwhelming too, Basim is a disappointment. A really interesting character in Valhalla but in Mirage he got watered down as hell and there not being a main focus on his psyche problems was just stupid. Stealth is mid worse than Unity or Syndicate, parkour is half arsed, ejects don't exist and every animation is a reuse of Valhalla, I know it's the same engine but that doesn't change the fact the game is a half arsed game which was supposed to be a DLC. Combat is the worst in the series even worse than Odyssey or Valhalla, shits dryer than the bread you left out for 5 months which you forgot about filled with mold and other bullshit. Like dude even double assassinations not existing made it worse, like what's so hard in adding a double assassination like in the old days. The game ain't back to the roots, it's back to the shit that actually made the old games bad back to the roots. Game's just shit

Not by Shadows anyway. It's being made by Ubisoft Quebec who have no interest in making "Assassins Creed" games. If you watch all the recent developers videos about it not once do they even say the word assassin when not referencing the title. Mirage and Nexus had me hopeful that at least Assassins were making a comeback in these games, but it seems Ubisoft is just going to go back to making them irrelevant again.

@lacuna3693 13 дней назад

No a new character cannot be added. They would probably have enough time to make a model but not enough to rewrite the whole story, redo every single cutscene, give him voicelines and give him unique weapon animations. Also it would just make Naoe and Yasuke completely obsolete which would result in more backlash.

@lacuna3693 13 дней назад

@@MrTrip666 no because they are dual ptrotagonists so cutscenes will involve Naoe and Yasuke together. You would have to rewrite the entire story to include 3 different assassins in the story. The marketing would have to be entirely redone as well. Yasuke's story will include him coming to Japan with Jesuits and being very strong and tall so you can't just replace his entire character with a native. Yasuke and Naoe have unique weapon sets so if you are having 3rd protagonist they would need their own weapon set otherwise there's just no consistency.

Why did no one complain when Ezio went to Constantinopole (Turkey.). Why did no one complain about that? It was the same situation. An Italian got to go to a completely new setting in the series and absolutely no one , had a problem with it. Now everyone is like " this is not fair. You can't do that. " Their problem starts with the idea of a game like GOT and because their expectation wasn't fulfilled from their idea.( isn't even out ,gush) Some people didn't want something new ,they wanted GOT 2 ,but with assassins. That's not Ubisoft's problem, it's their personal problem and the fact that no one is recognizing that ,it bothers me!

@Exiled7 11 дней назад

that's just not a correct way to view it. The game of revelations is set to be ezio a character we already knows outing in the franchise. We clearly see him going to the place, he is welcomed in by the outsider and isn't there for the sake of having a white italian man in Turkey. I don't have a massive issue with this character in Shadows as I haven't played the game so I don't know how they're going about it but if you were to put money on why the character is in the game would you put it on wanting to portray a cool character from Japan or wanting someone of colour to be the main character? It has nothing to do with not wanting him in the game or the fans being racist as many claim, people loved Origins who was an Arab in Eygpt so it made sense for the time setting. What people have an issue with or at least the sane take that isn't built from a racist perspective is that every ac has had a main character from the location of the game. Only acception to this is Valhalla with Evior however Norway is in the game and we travel from Norway to England. I don't think peoples issue is wanting another GOT. The main threetakes on his character are that he's been put in for a political motivation (which is good or bad depending on your politics), they could have just had two Japanise characters considering the game is set in Japan or just had the one female character (but I'm guessing Ubi did what they did with Kasandra which was that they didn't have faith that a female protagonist would do well so they gave you the choice between her and Alexios) and the final reason because people are genuinely just rasict and don't want a black main character.

I'll summarize it like this. A game that takes place in Japan that the Japanese audience outright rejects. Already has an identity crisis right from the cinematic trailer. Massive controversy over the depiction of Yasuke and Japanese architecture from both the West and the East. Is the first Ubisoft game following the shutdown of The Crew. Is tied with the AC Infinity Hub which is considered a terrible idea by the community. The historian shown in the trailer has a pretty shady history. We haven't even seen the gameplay and the game is already starting off on the wrong foot. Overpriced and has mtx.

Aside from technical failures like glitches and such, there really is no bad mainline Assassin’s Creed game. And Shadows looks to be the breath of fresh air the series needs simply based on the CG trailer and Yasuke. And I expect combat to be more brutal than past games when in control of Yasuke. I have a feeling it’ll be more focused on 1 v 1 duals as well. As Yasuke cuts his way through a battlefield maybe it goes into a more cinematic gameplay style when facing off 1v1 against a main target.

@VlReaderr 14 дней назад

The main problem with Assassin's Creed is its community. AC community does not have united opinion about AC games. All AC fans do know, what Ubisoft should NOT implement in the next AC game. But none of AC fans do know what Ubisoft should implement. "Make me entertained" - that's a community opinion, no more. What exactly should Ubisoft do to entertain you? Origins has the best and deepest story, best and deepest characters and best side quests in the whole series. Do community agree with it? No. Community does not need an adult story and adult characters. Community does need teenage protagonist with teenage story like Ezio. How could it be? If you were teenager in 2009, how can you stay teenager in 2024? Another point: AC community brought A BILLION to Ubisoft with Valhalla. A BILLION! More than any other AC game. Was the community entertained enough by Valhalla? What AC community does want for real? Does the series even need saving?

@cooperraleigh 14 дней назад

In my opinion I think a lot of it had to do with too many different developers Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Quebec and Singapore and bouncing the games between these studios each game. Different teams have different goals on how they want the game to be not that corporate leadership wasn’t telling them to push it a certain direction (RPG/Fantasy). The development team working on AC Shadows is the same team that worked on Odyssey. If only one team always developed the AC titles there may have been a lot more consistency in the series. Sure it might take longer to push the games out but that’s what the original fan base would have wanted. Not the yearly milking that ubi has been doing.

I know it’s a very dumb and small thing to comment from a 30 minutes video, but I can’t state how much I hated Odyssey’s skill tree. Most, if not all the skill that you got were active combat skills, meaning that once you found the ones that u liked, levelling up felt super unrewarding cause not only I took AGES, but you were getting skills that you would never going to use cause u already had your favourite skills equipped, and I felt so unrewarding. Valhalla’s skill system with the constellation thing was not the amazing, but at least it fixed that as it separated regular skills from the active combat skills, that were tied to the open world, and even if most of the regular skills were just statistics related, the “node” ones were kind of nice (like the dual wielding, critic attack, etc)

I've been a loyal Assassin since the 1st game, I've gotten so into the Lore that I've even read the books & comics.

Odyssey nearly killed my love for the entire franchise, Valhalla was hit & miss in some area's & Mirage was much better but still not perfect.

AC:II is one of my favorite games. Full stop. In my opinion AC: III was last of the old formula. However, after launch bugs, I LOVED the combat of Unity. I think they should have stuck with that. More skill based. Even though there were leveled enemies, it didn’t feel as RPG-ey.

@davidjacobs7465 14 дней назад

In my personal opinion I'm just very bored with the rpg titles of ac, but nothing worse than that. It's just how Ubisoft is handeling everything as a company is what makes me not excited. Particularly with their stance on bought games not being owned by the players as of late and to just be happy about it as players. Their claims that they're a quadruple A gaming company when releasing their possibly worst game to date in skull and bones is also concerning for their mental health.

The franchise didn't need a change around 2014 from "the same old formula" - you and others say that yet have no evidence to believe that. It's just some idea that popped up and people like to regurgitate it. Syndicate's location (poor for parkour), Unity's bugs, and Black Flag's combat being boring, are all significant faults in a franchise which differentiated itself in the gaming world with its parkour and slower more weighted hand-to-hand combat. Origins is a great game, I still like it, and I'm glad it was made. But it wasn't necessary at the time. Alternatively, an AC with the exploration of BF plus the combat and parkour of Unity would have seen the franchise reinvigorated and would be the favorite in the franchise of almost every AC fan to this day.

@Exiled7 13 дней назад

You're just lying. Look through every single big creator or publication at the time. The idea around the franchise was it needed change.

@hrthrhs 13 дней назад

@@Exiled7 So you're saying an AC with the exploration of BF plus the combat and parkour of Unity wouldn't have been widely loved at the time? Furthermore, this change you say that was needed wore out it's welcome really quick as Odyssey, just a year after Origins, is significantly disliked by the community.

@Exiled7 13 дней назад

The reason Odyssey was disliked by the community had nothing to do with the RPG Style as a default. They had an issue with the game pulling away from the lore and grounded nature that was the way of the franchise at the time. It's disingenuous to claim it was because of the RPG systems. That might have played a role but people were happy with origins, they would have accepted Odyssey if it was a game that focued on an assassin and kept itself more rooted in a form of reality instead of what they chose to do with it. Also I'm not saying that was a lie, I'm saying the idea that claiming the change didn't need to happen as people didn't care that much and it was just regurgitated points is a lie. Unity is the best representation of an AC game but that doesn't mean that the game was recieved well at the time of launch even by the fans which only gave the game credit at the time for the parkour and nothing else. This is what happens with our ability to be retrospective. You will see people praise games like AC 3, Unity and Syndicate now as we have the ability to see what would later happen with the likes of Odyssey and Valhalla but really all three weren't well recieved by the core fan base and the wider gaming audience. As by the time of Syndicate it had become a laughing stock for the bad launch of Unity and the year on year releases that felt hollow at the time.

Odyssey felt like I was playing "Clash Of The Titans". Which is cool because I love all that Creek Mythology stuff. So it was fun as a fantasy rpg game but it didn't feel like AC. Valhalla on the other hand was boring and a chore. I couldn't even finish the game. I'll pass on AC Shadows with their DEI bs. Besides i just got Ghost Of Tsushima on PC and its awesome!

I'm real sick of hearing can ubisoft be saved Valhalla sucked and all that bs. Valhalla and odyssey needed more sneak options by now we should be able to go prone while sneaking and other dumb crap they need to fix but they were both great great great games. Other than that black flag 2 should've already been made. The company needs no saving though. To me more so than being an assassin ac games are about replaying someone's life through the Animus period. With that perspective as a pure Viking it's the best Viking game ever you wanna be a bad*ss and that's your expectation you got what they promised. Vikings are warriors yes they should've added more sneak stuff the virus happened maybe it wasn't finished people that didn't or won't play Valhalla or didn't play long enough to see the full combat system at work really missed out on my favorite combat system ever

@joebond545 14 дней назад

The whole RPG trilogy was awesome. I wouldn't have hundreds of hours in them for no reason if I wasn't enjoying it. Yes they all have obvious flaws but there's an overwhelming amount of stuff to love that u can't help but forgive the flaws. My main gripe with Valhalla was the god stuff in the different realms but everything in England was awesome. As for Odessey and origins I loved everything about them except the fact it shouldn't be called assassins creed.
