Expecting anything beyond mid-tier, standard Assassin's Creed is just wishful thinking

I don't know about "mid-tier" but "standard Assassin's Creed" is what I want.

Right now, it's just the usual ebb and flow of innovation. The gaming industry has been stuck in a rut like this at least four times, Nintendo saved us from the E.T kerfuffle, slogged through the rough transition from 2D to 3D, then hit the inevitable stagnation of open-world design, followed by sequel fatigue and the live-service plague.

And now? We're in what I'd like to call the 'LET'S PLAY IT SAFE BECAUSE GAMERS HAVE TURNED INTO A BUNCH OF BITCH ASSES' era."

I generally enjoy Assassins Creed gameplay. The early games are still some of my favorites. I know this is gonna be half off in two months so I may hold off on playing it, but I will if it's good.

It's like my dick, between 0.4 and 0.8 inches depending how you play it.

Thank fucking god. Perfect length for an open world game.

Everything I hear about this game makes it sound like it's going to potentially be the best in the series from a gameplay POV. Unfortunately, this marketing team is always super good at hyping up the next AC, which often turns out to be mid. Every once in a while though, they hit gold like Black Flag and Origins. We'll see the truth at launch I guess.

So far, my biggest worry is the writing. The previews didn't impress there. It might be more palatable in Japanese though, which is how I'm planning to play.

80 hours of pure unadulterated SLOP

 

[MrRibeye]

It's between 0 and 0 hours for me. I'm fast like that.

 

[semiconscious]

i enjoyed origin, but, when it comes to open-world ac, that was it for me...

You see that Chinese roof architecture over there? You can climb it.

Yasuke was a waste of resources so ill finish it in 15 hours on ubi+ and move on

Sounds about right for an ubi game.

Here's my review.

Absolutely unacceptable. I can already tell it's a massive disappointment. First, the graphics? Haven't seen them in-game yet, but I know they should be better. The story? I'm sure Ubisoft ruined it. And don't even get me started on the gameplay, I can just feel in my soul that it's clunky , repetitive & I'll climb a historically inaccurate pagoda only to reveal 500 icons on my map and immediately regret my purchase.

Also, why is the protagonist not exactly how I personally imagined them? Huge mistake. Uninstalling immediately (once I install it first).

0/10 Worst game I've never played!!

Ubisoft is gonna sue your ass for breaking the review embargo.

Another bloated Ubi game. Hope I'm wrong.
