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

75% should be fine even if base price is very high.

Like all those open world RPG it has its low and high, myself I preferred a lot Odyssey, and not sure for Origins but overall I think I preferred Valhalla. Ok and perhaps it borrows to Far Cry formula by filling its world also with mini games, something much better hidden in Origins and Odyssey. But overall it's a quite good play, just stop bother with any mini game genre that bores you.

So if you have some completist syndrome, this game can be a problem, if not you should be able go through and ignoring the boring stuff and still with a good amount of good fun.

One tip, out of DLC, combat difficulty (that is higher in DLC) and past a few bosses, the difficulty is ultra low, I played Odyssey at normal difficulty, for Valhalla combats started be fun with most options close to max difficulty or difficulty before, that said most bosses tend bores me but there's very few and it's not counting special stuff as legendary animals or cult mercenaries.

Is it good for casual player? to be honest I play these games just to have a cyber trip, I don't like too much forest/mountain walking since my other open world games are all the same

Lol so ask a question and have the answer already?

I wonder what are games for casual players? Past mobile games I don't think casual players are buying games.

Because people really love to talk ♥♥♥♥ about ubisoft and their game, no matter what kind of approach ubisoft made.

[𝙹𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛]

The hate is there for a reason. The last 3 mainline games have strayed so far from the series core that it is no longer recognisable. Hell, even the iconic hidden blade was downgraded to a useless sword or knife just so you won't be able to one-shot enemies without grinding.

But the game was successful with fans of RPGs who never left their honeymoon phase with Witcher 3 and were used to combat like that, so it brought in an influx of new fans and leaned more into the RPG light direction since Odyssey. The series itself has morphed into a decoy for Ubisoft to sell generic open world games with gods, monsters, big boss fights, etc. They've been their own established lore as a hindrance to convey the stories they want to tell.

Of course it's hard for many players to engage with the world that not even the writers seem to be engaged in.

It’s genuinely not a good game, RPG nor Assassin’s Creed game. It was also one of the absolute greediest versions of assassins creed that we had in a long time. Nothing felt polished, combat sucked, stealth sucked, parkour was sluggish, the story dragged on for too long, the world was bland and generic, supposed “game changing features” like the town system were weak, all of it felt like nothing more than wasted potential.

Sad sad truth, overpriced overhyped

Lol I'd love TW3 crap combats was as good than those of Odyssey.

Otherwise right I don't care at all of other AC, tried 2 or 3 older not in RPG series they all felt quickly from my hands, not for me. In fact I don't care either of Far Cry series, FC4 was too much a clone and got bored quickly by 5&6. Far Cry Primal is awfully boring. Fenyx is too kiddish including in its gameplay.

I don't care at all of Ubi, just their AC RPG series.

[nixon]

game is boring and repetative and game often crashes a lot compare to ac odysey previos ac odysey is way better

[McFlurry Butts]

Can't wait for AC: Accounting Edition.

It looks like they took another game and just made it Assassins Creed, which is likely what happened.

I like it and I bought it only because I'm interested in Vikings and Norse mythology. I dont care about the franchise at all

[dozilla]

It's a fantastic game, played it on Xbox when it came out a few years back. The Northern European setting and Vikings makes this by far my favorite AC game.

It's not even that bad. It's pretty good. But honestly UBISOFT needs to kill off AC and create something new and refreshing. Same for farcry and tom clancy. Getting old.

I mean they could just go more hard into mythology, that would be very refreshing.
Or take more risk. Like when they went with the RPG style.
