Nevermind, despite all the dumb hate, Valhalla is the most successful AC game ever.
AC once was decent but is now garbage, and what does hold merit in the formula the franchise established has been perfected in Ghost of Tsushima. I don’t know why anyone would be interested in this game when there is something far more competently executed available that appeals, mechanically and in general gameplay structure, to AC, yet without all the filler and worst design inclinations that Ubi insists upon infusing into their works to their inevitable detriment.
Though playing a black Samurai would be intriguing, and something I’d definitely be interested in seeing, but I doubt such a novelty could overcome my extreme dislike for Ubi’s monetization schemes masquerading as games….aka….the Assassin’s Creed series.
No thanks. Give me a real talented studio instead, and bring on Ghost of Tsushima II: Jin’s exile.
Like I have said before, Ghost of Tsushima is so ridiculously similar to AC that it is strange reading comments that paint it as notably different. I played Ghost of Tsushima immediately after finish AC: Origins.
I absolutely concede it’s similar. Again, there is merit in the formula that AC introduced, and that merit is to be found in execution. But nothing in GoT feels superfluous to me. Yes it’s formulaic, yes it’s repetitive, even generic to an extent, but it all serves a narrative arc and end. AC feels like filler, games solely designed at their cores to give excuse to play to try to push the player towards the embracement of monetizing their playtime.
I’ve never argued there’s anything necessarily wrong with AC‘s formula. What I take exception to in the comparison between GoT and AC, in that just because their mechanics and structure are similar, they service similar ends. They don’t, and Ghosts is a far better game because of it.
That is a very notable difference, but is found at the core of its design which is often why people can’t see it.
Valhalla is better than GoT. It is far more imaginative in gameplay and quest design.
According to Ubisoft, they both have different roles:
Naoe is the stealth-oriented ninja assassin.
Yasuke is the combat-oriented samurai warrior.
So in other words, its not an AssCreed game, and just an rpg with the AssCreed name to move copies.
Seems like they're trying to appease fans of both the classic assassin style (with Naoe) and the new action RPG style (with Yasuke)... But like you said, Capcom tried that before with Resident Evil 6 and that backfired.
Yasuke does have stealth capability and Naoe can fight, just not as well.
@hardwenzen: Assassin's Creed isn't Starfield.
Yes, it doesn't have anywhere near the amount of hype, and Ubishop is being hated on harder than Activision or blizzard. I don't think you comperehend the impact this will have on its live service.
Except its a game from a franchise that sold over 200 million copies.
And all the "hate" for the game is a vocal minority and the preorders are showing this.
130$ for the complete version of a check list open world game? No thanks
The main character being black has nothing to do with my apathy towards this cash grab... I hope for diversity in gaming but this is not it.
almost every open world game is checklist.
And none of them are $130 either.
There is also a more reasonable $110 version.
Oh yea $110 is perfectly reasonable BTW🤣🤣🤣
566k down votes on the main channel. Holy shit.
Yet it isn't affecting pre orders.
The game is gonna tank hard. And since this is a live service game OOOOOOF.
Except judging by expansions in the past, they are worth the price.
Game isn't tanking now, once again pre orders are strong, And it isn't really a live service game.
