So a story mode? Like the first AC games? There is a story and you play the game while the story unfolds and the writers decided what happens and you get immersed in the story without five hundred fake decision that make no difference what so ever?
I agree, but also noncanon can get pretty fun. Imo the best ending I’ve recently seen like this is actually a cod game where you slowmo kill all the AI protagonists and nuke Europe
Anything with bonkers ideas or decision is fun. I mean kicking a squirrel against a tree in baldurs gate 3 is one of my favorite memories of our play trough.
I must’ve missed the last 10 yrs of COD but that sounds wildly fun!!! Would you recommend?
It’s been pretty hit or miss the last few years, but black ops 6 is definitely worth it. The noncanon scene I mentioned is in Black Ops Cold War, which is about 4 years old now (Bo6 is also it’s direct sequel). It’s a lot of fun, but to unlock it you’ll have to solve some tricky and well hidden but simple puzzles throughout the whole story. It might take a few tries to get it, but it’s more satisfying than the canon ending imo.
So… A regular Assassins Creed game. Mind, I stopped at Rogue.
Tbh, this isn’t a terrible idea for people who tend to use a guide anyway? Depending on how perfectionist I feel, that’s sometimes me (but the ideal game doesn’t lock you out of content over a joke answer in a random dialog).
I typed about six or seven different kinds of replies to this before deleting the entire thing each time.
I don’t particularly have anything to add to this topic, other than I am voicing my frustration by expressing that I had to realize multiple times that either I didn’t care enough to argue with people about it, or I didn’t care enough about this game to bother resoonding to replies about it.
Ubisoft can go bankrupt and Tencent can go next.
This just keeps getting lamer and lamer.
I hope they didn’t ask the same people for input who decided to use a broken torii gate as advertising material.
The one thing I really want from my rpg is less role play
When did Assassins Creed become a RPG? It started as a Prince of Persia successor with no role playing at all. The last one i played was Black Flag, which also didn’t have any RPG in it.
yeah, just give me a g
What’s the point of “playing” then if you won’t make decisions? Watch a movie instead…
The thing is, the Assassins Creed series doesn’t have its roots in RPG gameplay. They’ve shoehorned it in in later games, but it’s always felt surface-level and cheap. Going back to telling a definitive story, in which you as the player enact the action, is a good thing in my opinion.
I’d say the idea was that certain events have happened in history. Broad strokes are known. But you’re running the simulation to find out the details. And that’s where the game happens. Reach the objective, whatever way, or fail. Much like any other game.
That may be some way away from a sandbox game but it’s worlds away from watching a movie.
But on rails games like Drakes Whatever? I’d watch the movie if it wasn’t annoying and full of obnoxious characters and bad script.
