No. Not really into AC. Valhalla is the only that clicked for me, mainly due to its setting and Viking theme. But AC as a franchise doesn't really appeal to me and Shadows doesn't seem to change that fact. It also looks like a poor mans Ghost of Tsushima, so I'd rather do a NG+ of that one instead.

Yes. It's been a rough year and while I think its ridiculous to have a black lead in a Japanese samurai game, the character model looks great and the actor has done a good job capturing the essence of a samurai.
The game also looks great with some beautiful visuals and a potentially an excellent combat system.
I am upset as the next man, but its time to move on.

Maybe 6 months later with deep discount.
There are 1000 better ways to spend 70 - 100 dollars than buying Ubi's mediocre boilerplate games at day one.

No, it looks worse than ghosts and id rather wait for ghosts 2.
It honestly takes me completely out of it when they put someone in historical Japan that doesn't fit, I do the same for tv shows and movies in other countries, i need the original language (as well). I never used to be like that but the older i get the more i need it, i don't even like when ancient greek shows have british actors anymore lol
I have watched several videos from Japanese people talking about the inconsistencies in more than just the lead, misplaced Torii gates, tatami mats placed incorrectly, constant bowing from civilians when samurai were normal back then.
I just can't support it either way due to its disrespect of other peoples culture and history, even if its fiction. They were just lazy or didn't care.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Skipped Valhalla cuz I was burnt out from Assassins Creed I didnt even play Mirage cuz it wasnt enough Assassins Creed-ish for me.
Seeing the Naoe gameplay they got me.
Thats the stealth ive been looking for from an Assassins Creed game.
Imma be playing Naoe as much as possible.
Plus theres a damn KusariGama
Probably my favorite Japanese weapon.....in any game I can use it.....I will, even when its seemingly underpowered.
Please have motion blur on PC atleast.
A KusariGama spinning around without sweet sweet motion blur is gonna be so sad.

Absolutely not. Series peeked at Odyssey. I love Viking shit, but Valhalla was painfully bloated.
And now that they finally decide to do a far East inspired one after so long, it's already been done better on more than a few games, plus the dei shit sprinkled in, is laughably bad.
RIP, AssCrud.

Yes. I've played every AC in the main series, and even the shitty ones are still pretty good. I play them, I enjoy them, I get a kick out of posts from haters who clearly haven't played an AC game in many years (if they ever played any at all) and have no clue wtf they're talking about when they rant about them.

Same. AC has not been worth a full price purchase for years. I'll wait for whatever silly name they give the Ultimate edition and then wait even further for a price slash.
It's not going anywhere any time soon.

I’m not fan of Ghost of Tsushima, I honestly rather have Sekiro 2.

Not into AC and Ubisoft games are not my taste. However, I am a bit interested in the SW game.

Ubisoft hasn't made a AC (or any game for that matter) that made me wake up from my nap since Black Flag.
And that streak continues...

I usually do, but Ubisoft pulling their price hikes and you don't own your games BS has stopped me at the moment, i haven't got Mirage as yet as it was basically a dlc for Valhalla they charged too much for imo, so i don't know, i'm def not buying it at the release price and it depends what the game will turn out like, as i do with all games now, i wait until a while afterwards, i might later at a cheaper price, maybe.

No. Backlog does not justify it, and I fully tapped out of the series since about Odyssey, which was a long time coming at that point.
I haven't seen anything that would make me return to it.
Maybe years down the line, when it's cheap and we are all laughing at the crappy output of this era due to misguided... priorities, maybe then I'd get it for a penny. That is If its gameplay reviewed decently.
