Poll Are you still stick of Assasins Creed? (60 votes)

Yes 67%
Origins reinvigorated the series and stuff 33%

Assassins Cred has became heavily criticized for bombarding players with sequel after sequel with diminishing returns. Quality suffering to bleed it for all it's worth, a pale full of red, bubbly liquid overhung by a limp carcass, it's occasional spasm merely an imitation of life.

This new one had a delay, promising much. It copied Zelda, possibly the most greatest series outside of Halflife, Quake, Doom and Metro.

It moved the setting as well, to ancient Egypt in the hope of a fresh coat of paint acting as a champagne bottle christening a ship before it's first voyage.

No Caption Provided

Is the series back with a bang? Or just another derivative, forgettable cash-cow existing for the sake of existing?

I've never played any before Black Flag. Between that and Unity, they were quite different and I really enjoyed both where Syndicate felt like a rehash of Unity in a later time period so no, not tired of it and I love ancient Egyptian stuff so I'm in for Origins.

Anyone who's played Origins already, how is it?

Looks to be a great game, with seeming plenty to do. I'm only a few missions in. It might not be the best-looking game, but the gameplay is pretty solid.

This is the first game in the series Ive played though, so I can understand why those that started back with the first games are feeling series burnout

Honestly, I've enjoyed most of them... it is a lot of the same old same old but I keep enjoying each game and have yet to get burnt out. Oddly, Black Flag (the one everyone seems to think is the exception) was my least favorite.

A little over 14 hours in, it's the best in the series or at the very least as good as AC2/ACBF. I can tell you if anyone says it's just the same shit as the previous AC games they're full of shit. They completely re did the combat in Origins and made it more like TW3, which I love it even more.

This video pretty much sums it up

I'm just sick of Ubisoft open world games in general.

After finishing Far Cry 4, after finishing the umpteenth AC game, after playing Far Cry Primal, after playing Watch Dogs... They are started to play & feel really samey.

I feel that, if you play one Ubisoft open world game, you've played them all.

AC: Origins looks sweet, I should be all over its Egypt setting as I love ancient civilisations... I just can't get myself to buy the game.

Playing Origins now and I think it's awesome. The gameworld is something else. If it was just the world + climbing + photomode I would pay $60 for that :). Hands down the best open world ever created imo. Variety, beauty, it's a piece of art.

Combat has been improved and now it feels like you are actually playing and not just clicking buttons and watch canned animations. Some of the weapons are pretty awesome, great variety here also. It's a bit janky from my experience, but hey it's AC you can't have it all.

Side content is much, much improved. There are now proper sidequests. They have handcrafted locations, props and real dialogue. Some of them are multistage. I think they are just as good, if not better than the Witcher 3. There are some lower qualtiy stuff like "loot three chests in this location". But those locations are typically amazing, so I don't mind so much.

Detection in stealth is still busted, which sucks. But the rest is so awesome that even when this key feature isn't up to par, the overall package is still a homerun imo.

I haven't started playing Origin yet but as for the series, I don't have time to hate the series but I did took a hiatus after Black Flag, I just had lots of other game series to do so I pretty much never bother what came after Black Flag. I love open world games and Ubisoft's open worlds to me are always fun so hey, I'm back into AC franchise.

I don't hate AC series.

Yup. I stopped at Unity and probably wont get back to it ever again. Not because I dint like Unity (I actually did like it a good amount) but the AC formula has already worn out for me as much as they try to "change it". They claimed Origins would be a complete overhaul for the series but from what I've seen is just YET another AC game with more RPG elements and loot system thrown into it... AC is dead to me. Ubisoft fvcked it up by making it a yearly series. Its gameplay is too poor to justify a yearly release...

So it's not for me but I'm a bit jaded with this series. Maybe if I could stop dreaming/thinking of them being a cool open world Thief series I could appreciate what's there.

I think the combat still looks pretty bad, and I would have a hard time going back to chasing a thousand icons on a map after BotW.

I enjoyed all the AC games I played up to Black Flag which was also good and probably my favorite but it was enough for me to be fed up of the AC series and I havent played an AC game since.

Oh boy are we already at that time of the year. But after Unity and Syndicate i gave up on Ubicrap and their spiral to become worse than EA.

I'm not sick of the AC series because I never played any of them. Not my interest. The only Ubisoft games I have are either the Far Cry games or flight sims. I'm not tired of either one yet although I skipped Primal because it's not a true FC game. ;)

I thankfully never allowed myself to become sick of AC. I played the first, 2, 3. I have Brotherhood and Black Flag and never fired them up. I look forward to ACO as I do other games but I wont be buying any until after I get my BEAST X1X.

I just re-downloaded Unity and Syndicate since ive had them in my library forever and never played them. Will play them first and then Origins.

Im not tired of AC because i havent played many of them for long.

I think i spent the most with AC2 on 360, never finished that one either.

Does it not look as good as pics and video indicate? I was thinking based on those that it was one of the most detailed and best looking games outside of maybe Battlefront 2. How does the graphics compare with Unity?

Here's the thing I like assassin's creed, but with each game about after assassin's creed 3 with the exception of Unity the stealth game play has slide far and away into the blackhole to make way for "better exciting combat" and "(Insert new gimmick) gameplay". I've stopped buying the series. The series has moved away from what the series should be about and moved more toward action adventure and cinematic. Which wouldn't be a problem but expect good stealth play from a series about assassins. But oh well. Also that's not to say that AC 1 or even AC 2 or AC 3 had amazing stealth play but at least it was decent and fun.

terrible, It's the Mass Effect: Andromeda of the franchise.

It's not so much that it is inherently bad, they just screwed up so much stuff you're playing it and like "WTF is this, this isn't Assassin's Creed!"

Combat is a joke, it might actually be harder than a Gothic/Risen game; but where Gothic and Risen were actually challenging in their difficulty, Origins is just frustrating. First off, they force you lock targets. Second, enemies strike quicker than your character's animations to dodge/block them, so even perfectly timed defensive moves result in damage.

They've added skills to the game. Why? Who the hell knows. Maybe because it gives the illusion of choice to the player, but really all it does is ruin immersion; I mean here I am, this badass Egyption warrior but, ooop, I've got no skills! Herp derp. I mean I am cool if they want to unlock things as I progress, but to just give you this big skill sheet like they're doing you a favor is lame. I'm not playing an RPG, I Don't get to choose my replies in dialogue...I don't need to choose my skills. What a gimmick, tired of seeing this in games.

The assassin blade seems broken, half the time I use it on an unaware enemy it doesn't even kill them outright; god dammit, I am an assassin, if I spend the time and effort sneaking into a fort to kill one target, the wrist blade better damn well kill them when I assassinate them.

Enemy levels are screwed up, so they are significantly more powerful than you despite being the same level.

And those are just minor things. The big issue I have is that the game is just not fun to play; whereas in previous AC games you are this quick warrior, and the controls in those games were responsive, and parkour (while never perfect, it did have it's frustrations) was simple and intuitive. In this game I find myself getting stuck on walls a lot, dropping when I don't want to, running into a climbable wall and not climbing it, and more.

Oh and don't get me started on the modern-era part, they totally screwed the pooch with the plot on that one. Ubisoft, I know it's a video game and won't win any pullitzers or oscars, but some of us actually enjoy the story a bit.

The game is just rough around the edges in the worst ways possible.

Now, personally, I enjoyed AC 3 but I agree with others that it is the weakest installment in the franchise. That is, until Origins; this game is the worst.

Exactly. Stealth has died in AC Origins. Congratulations, Ubisoft, you made a stealth-action game into just an action game.

I was impressed with the Egyptian setting for my first few hours, but now...now it's a crap game, I see it for what it is.

The RPG elements in Origins make it much less like a regular AC game, which means there is a good chance I will actually like this one. I'll pick it up sometime later when they've sorted the bugs out.

Once the Desmond story was complete, i felt like i had my fill of the series. I played and Liked BF cuz it felt like a solid Spin-off from the Desmond Story. But i never really got in to Unity of Syndicate. Just never felt the need to play them, i never felt like i was missing out on anything

AC has always been hit and miss for me. I never played the original, I love the second one dearly, didn't care for brotherhood, took a break from the series till BF came out, loved that one, hated all the ones after. I haven't played Origins, but once my friend gets bored with his copy I'll borrow it.
