I was really hoping Kassandra would get her own Ezio style trilogy. you don’t even have to stick with Ancient Greece!

Valhalla tried to be a 100-hour long RPG except without the parts that actually make an RPG fun and I don't think a single person on earth cared about Mirage so lets give the (correct) Odyssey likers another crack at it.

valhalla is better than odyssey :colbert:

...but origins is better than both and all three are literally 50+ hours too long so it's not even really a compliment tbh

I can't agree. I liked Eivor, especially Lady Eivor, and I wanted to like Valhalla because it is not often I can go to my hometown and do a Viking raid on it, but I just could not get into Valhalla at all. Mind you my PC was barely running it back then, I should try again maybe with the new one. But ehh. I might just load up Odyssey again.

Kassandra and Bayek and Eivor are all great. I want them to form a time-travelling group of supervigilantes and fight crime.

*coughs* I enjoyed Mirage, it was a good game, but I realize it sold like two copies (it actually sold like 5 million copies, just no one talked about it in gaming spaces).

Perhaps all the online people constantly complaining about how AC needed to return to its roots was the real *waves hand in front of face* ...mirage all along.

Mirage felt bad to me because it was an attempt to use the Valhalla mechanics in a standard AC-alike and the two just don't mesh well. If it hadn't been an expanded DLC sold as a full game it could have been better.

That's the thing! It wasn't its roots. It was more akin to someone making an Assasin's Creed 2 mod in Valhalla

Have you played the newer games? I like them, but they’re all seriously flawed imo, often in different ways.

Im enjoying Rise of the Ronin, but IM a little worried about late game frequent stance switching while fighting one boss... is that where we are headed?

There are only a few bosses who use multiple weapons. The vast majority of the game, you're only going to swap stances mid-combat when you target a new enemy. You can also completely ignore the "effective stances" mechanic if you want, as it only increases the ki damage dealt by your parry and how long they're vulnerable after parrying an unblockable.

I've started it a few times but always run out of steam in the first bit when you're ACing around before you get the ship. I just want to do the pirate ship stuff, for some reason the structure of the tutorial is poison to my enthusiasm.

The first thing you do in that game is approach an island to harvest wood. Crafting was the worst thing to ever happen to video games

Yeah, I get it, that happened to me a few times over the years but you gotta muscle past it, it's so good once you get the ship

I felt the two halves of the game (Black Flag) didn’t complement each other at all. And the Far Cry pouch upgrade hunting felt really out of place. That said, I didn’t play it for that long.

This was one of the few parts I did like in AC3 so AC4 sounds right up my alley but somehow I just never got around to it. Too many games!!!
