THUNDERDOME LOSER 2022

Old AC combat was repetitive but at least it looked good, at least the first few times. You got that your character was a badass. Now it's just waving a sword without connecting, forever.

Anyways we're in for at least 2 years of Greek ugly codex-free action-RPG, so brace you are selves: https://facebook.com/AccessTheAnimus/photos/a.428438903923691/1524415814325989/?type=3&source=57

Just people that don't like the combat.
It's pretty inoffensive to me, the only fights that ever lasted more than a minute were boss fights and phylakes.

Everyone else went down in a pretty reasonable amount of time, I like combat requiring more involvement from the player besides timing counters and poo poo.

I'm glad. Both because that probably means the 2020 game will be better than it would be if they rushed it, and because I still feel kind of burned out on Origins (despite loving it) because of how huge it was, but this gives me more time to get over that (and likely to burn out on Odyssey) before I have to worry about another game. 'I have too many games to play' may be the dumbest problem to have, but series fatigue is real.

Um, no, I totally learned in history class that Brutus scored a crit on Caesar. Similarly, Jesus had really high DR and crucifixion was only doing chip damage, that's why it took so long.

Get some knowledge, scrub.

They already did that with Syndicate -> Origin, I was kinda surprised they did Odyssey only one year later (actually I just wanted Watch Dogs 3).

well yeah. they are sort doing the activision route. have two games in production at once and give them one year off to build hype and give more dev time for both, then dump 2 games in a row.

It was pretty good as videogame plots go. Assassins as creepy Unabomber cult are way more interesting than Assasins as off-brand #theResistance talking in hashtags.

I'd play an AC 1 remake if they made the cutscenes/modern day poo poo skippable and gave it brotherhood's combat mechanics. That'd own

This. The historic settings are what's special about AC, not the framing device or their stupid lore about magic apples or something.

I want the map design to go back to the AC3/Black Sails/Rogue balance of '2-3 big, detailed urban areas you do lots of stuff in, plus some wilderness environments to play about in'.

Syndicate felt a bit too confined, but Origins doesn't have a city worth the name and so you can't get that parkour-from-rooftop-to-rooftop chase experience that's the best unique bit of AC as far as I'm concerned.

this is probably something most people don’t care about, but one thing that has bothered me about most of the recent assassins creed games is that it’s hard to feel like a badass stealthy assassin who blends into the crowd while walking around covered in weapons. I wish things like throwing knives, daggers, etc were at least options. Syndicate was kind of a return to form in that respect, and I was sad to see that it’s pretty much inevitable that your character in origins is walking around with two bows a shield a sword and a two handed weapon while parkouring all over the place.

also from syndicate, pulling up your hood when you go into sneak mode was brilliant and idk why that didn’t carry over into origins

Blending in wasn't even a thing in Origins, which was kinda a bummer. I really liked the social stealth type stuff and honestly wish the games had gone more in the Hitman direction than straight 3rd person parkour combat murder sim, but I'm probably in the minority with that opinion.
