This vs Assassins Creed
So, I'm considering this game right now because it is on sale, and I keep hearing good things about it, but then I hear so many reference Assassins Creed, that it turns me away from the game. I wasn't a fan of the Assassins Creed games. Do you think I might still enjoy this, or do you think there is a good chance I won't because of my dislike of AC.

This game isn't that similar to assassin creed. You have fast travel towers which you unlock by climbing up. Thus leading it to be compared to Assassin creed as a assassin creed vet I do not think of Assassin Creed when I play this game.

The fast travel towers are also where you respawn and also allows you to "See" the region on the regional map.

Also you can do death from above... You can fall down on someone and then go on to stab/slice them dead. You don't land on someone with a blade and kill them instantly. Talion may interest a blade upon landing but will follow it up with another stab on the ground.

Honestly it's not worth comparing as you and assassins move differently. You both are cable of scaling building but you won't find Talion making half the parkcore moves Assiassans do.

If there is any spefic I cna also go into detail about that. If you are really worried look up some gameplay.

I dont like when people compare this game to assassins creed. Its has a couple things that are similar (unlocking towers, scaling walls and the landscape, and killing people from above) other than that it is its own game. I bought this when it came out for the ps3 and saw it was on sale and just had to get it. Its a great game imo. Worse case scenario you dont like and just ask for a refund. Ill bet you will forget about the bad things youve heard after playing for a couple hours.

There's also this "Eagle Vision" AKA "Wraith Mode", but as stated not much similarity. SoM has more in common with modern Batman games than AC.

It is very much like AC in almost every way except this game is much better made with more to do.

The combat is more Batman: Arkham than AC. It's far closer to batman than AC imo.

Am i the only one who only liked Assassin's Creed Black Flag and that's it ? I guess i liked the pirate theme more than everything else in the series lol.

Appreciate the feedback guys.

I play Arthas in Heroes of the Storm anyways :).

Unfortunatly, Batman is still sitting in my Steam backlog haha, so I wouldn't be able to compare it.

I liked the idea of Assassins Creed Black Flag, but I ended up not getting far into and trading it in for another game (had it on the PS4). For me, the appeal of the Assassin Creed games wear off fast. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I find myself extremely bored after a few hours. I don't know if it is just too shallow game-play wise, lack of sh*t to do, or what. Maybe it's just the combat I don't like. Maybe it is all of it. I know that game is loved by many, but I could never get into it, but I do love a lot of open-world games.
