Ezio trilogy. Black Flag is overrated simply because everyone praised the naval gameplay / exploration which could have been any other game. The missions were complete doodoo in that game.

Assassins creed is one of those series you either like or dislike, this goes for both types of ass. Either you like bland ubisoft open world or bland ubisoft open world but people have numbers above their head now

1 and 2. Altair is a pretty cool badass and the City of Akkon was great.
Ezio is also alright and quite charming but my favorite moment is when they hang his brother, because i fuckin hate Petruccio.

Definitely character wise Assassins creed 2/Revelations/Brotherhood (Ezio ofc), vibe wise though im gonna say AC Origins got me so much in the mood. Exploring Tombs and pyramids to entering the Duat (Egyptian hell) and beyond this game had it all and the soundtrack was amazing

Odyssee. I began playing with Origin, then played the Ezio collection or how it is called. It was fine but I lack the nostalgia to really like these.
Valhalla felt random, never could really bond with the characters.
But Odyssee was great, Kassandra was really likable and the world was a joy to travel. Just the kids looked all the same. :thinking:

Well the rumours were right. Along with the world premier reveal trailer for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, set in Baghdad, and releasing in 2023.

They also announced that they are working on Codename: Red, which is an Assassin’s Creed game set in feudal Japan. Sadly, the video doesn’t really show much

And another title called Codename: Hexe, and like Codename: Red, the video doesn’t reveal very much, but they did say they were looking forward to fans picking apart the hidden clues. They also said it would be a “different” gaming experience, but nothing more was said.

They also talked about Unity and how this would allow players to access the Assassin’s Creed universe with some kind of Animus experience. They also teased that there may be multiplayer options. Finally, they also talked briefly about the upcoming Netflix live action Assassin’s Creed TV show. (Actually they also talked about a mobile version of the game, but who cares?)

Does anyone else think a game set in Feudal Japan with a ninja/lady ninja (don’t know the actual name something with a K) is just a really cheap and thoroughly uninspired choice for a setting and character?

Fans of the series begged Ubi for an AC set in Japan for years and they said they will never do it. Guess they changed their mind after Ghost of Tsushima.

How times have changed.

I really like the setting of feudal Japan but lately there are a lot of games set there…

I don’t know if it’s unintentional by the ESRB.

People have been floating around that it might have to do with NFTs, through the program that they quietly shut down to put to use at a later time.

Other games have had “Simulated Gambling” as a tag for lootboxes and things like that, but this “Real Gambling” is new, something we haven’t seen before as a main game mechanic it seems. One that would let you wager actual human dollars on something that’s a gamble
And that’s probably NFTs awarded to you, in game, that you’re able to sell out to whomever you want on your own time. But it’s a gamble as to what NFT and what price that item might be fetching

Regardless of whether that’s true of not it would be pretty hilarious to see this skip out on Console stores since I’m sure they don’t host any AO games at all out of principle.

40 Minute Nintendo Direct Tomorrow! That’s gotta mean one or two big things!

Also someone posted it as a joke yesterday but wow they actually did it

I guess the mark of respect is nice, but I imagine I can probably watch it on another Nintendo channel, or one of the game journalist website Youtube pages that will stream it as well. Ah well.

Nintendo says the livestream will focus on releases for this holiday season. So I’m guessing that will probably mean some Splatoon 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Bayonetta 3 coverage. The big rumours are Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD versions making their way to the Switch and Metroid Prime trilogy remaster, perhaps in time for the holidays?
