Why so much hate? 🤔

[LordWallDeMart]

Just finished my AC run, finished Syndicate, Origins, and Odyssey, and am planning to purchase this one.

Why is this game so despised? Does it not feel like a real AC game? Is there any reason not to purchase it at a 75% discount?



Thanks

that too, which Honestly is stupid, they already have achievements. It isnt really hard to implement. I know its more work thou.
How ever once they do add them, like most games that track achievements on a different launcher (ie EA/Ubisoft) you should get all the achievements you unlocked on their platform on steam.
Happened with dragon age 3 for me, and the newest mass effect.

There is valid concerns about this game though. But it is an ubisoft game, so
1. launcher will always knock points off
2. it being assassins creed knocks points off
3. No achievements knocks points off
4. the game being what like 60ish hours to do the main story will knock points off
5. Leveled zone always knocks points off for a decent chunk of people

Plus people like to say "all the quest are the same"
Which is weird cuz thats literally any game lol.
GO here do this, go there do that. Sums up any game ever.

I've been playing the game for 105 hours so I can say the game is really fun to play the story mode is divided between kings so they are really well done.

On sale, the complete package is an awesome deal if you like the more open combat, less stealth Vikings (I sure do), if your system is robust enough, and you can tolerate occasional crashes (extremely rare in my case) it's a good story with lots of quests and a new feature of "managing" a settlement, River Raids with random setups and good rewards, if you don't die on mission; it has a boatload of customization. There is no ship to ship combat. There's some weird twists; your actions DO make a difference; the DLCs are packed with adventures. There are no "achievements" as such, but with free stuff and in-game accomplishments open many customization options.
Oh, and you'll have to wade thru a swamp of whiners to get any help at all. For me, it was the most enjoyable of the series, but that's just me. On sale, go for it!

Maybe partly, but the reason they make it this way is because mainstream eats this style up.
Anyways you can literally turn on the most difficulty exploration mode. Meaning you have to actually read to find things. Even old games like morrowind or gothic, kinda have this formula, they just dont have map markers, or generally dont.

Ubisoft just streamlined it a bit more.
Well actually I think oblivion is the one that fully started this trend, and it kinda advanced from there slowly over the years.

BUT ye, all ubisoft games have the same type of exploration and activities so it gets stale. Then again every rpg thats open world is like that. its always the same activities. So theres something more to just "ubisoft formula"
Prolly more in line with, exploration doesnt feel as rewarding as something like gothic or morrowind, as you generally dont find like really cool unique gear. And IG they dont have very good story telling in the world its self, unlike gothic or morrowind.

I think just in general on average Ubisoft games, are good they just always feel watered down. It could literally be exactly like gothic or morrowind, but theyd water it down a little, making it feel more "boring" after long periods of time.

Its kinda like how blizzard is with their games. They make good games or use too. So like diablo feels good to play but its watered down thus gets boring faster. WoW isnt bad, but its watered down so gets boring faster than other mmorpgs.
I think starcraft is like the only series they have that doesnt really feel watered down.

If you cant grasp the difference between people complaining about game crashes, bugs and lack of features and people actually "hating", what are you doing here?

We're on a forum where player give feedback about their problem, not some ubisoft simp convention. People dont recommend this game, it has mixed review, just the dual launcher crap is a perpetual source of technical problems.

Simple as.

Syndicate, Origins, and Odyssey focus their story on the main character, Valhalla focus on the story in many kings but they are very well done and long. this game is easily the longer assasing creed I've ever played

[Coldhands]

Valhalla's fine, it's just way too big. I burn out way before I get close to finishing it, but I've also got plenty of hours for the money I paid for it. Still, I'd enjoy the game more if it was a little more focused and there was more detailed content instead of so many shallow open world activities.
I had the same issue with Odyssey, but I like Valhalla's writing and setting more.

[Iron|Cu!]

Repetitive and shallower gameplay than last few AC's. It feels more like a job, not a game and fun. Get it if you want to do same things over and over again...

If there only was a way to read negative reviews of people that posted them on the Steam Store Page.

Valve really should add that.

Game is kinda buggy , pretty empty , and soulless mostly. owning it on Ubisofts launcher and paid 10 euro for it.
if i could i would refund it but the damn tutorial alone took like 4 hours.

[Øuantum3]

It doesn't even worth the time downloading and installing it even for free.
