The first AC I decided not to buy

[Aurianne Valerius]

I truly don’t understand what happened with this game. I love the Assassin's Creed franchise but in Shadows it feels like AC has lost its very soul and identity.

First I was pissed off to play a black samurai in Japan. I mean we played an Egyptian in Egypt, an Italian in Italy, a French in France, etc. I even liked Freedom Cry with Adewale or Liberation with Aveline, so my enmity toward Yasuke has nothing to do with being "racist" or whatever wokies call us today. Everyone wanted to play a Japanese in Japan. Then there was all the drama about the butchering of the japanese culture. Some things were a bit an overreaction (like the melons and sakura trees), but others were clearly disrespectful. It feels like Ubisoft was doing all this on purpose, there is no way it has been SO MANY bad coincidences. Then there was the Sims City thing when you can build your entire village. What in the Hells is this ? Nobody asked such useless features. We play a freaking Assassin, not an architect or carpenter. Ubisoft should have spent their resources and time for better things than this (like polishing their game for once).

But even with all that I was whiling to give AC Shadows the benefit of the doubt. I was even whiling to pay full price if I completely misjudged the game.

Until it came out officially and then I lost all my hopes. The cringes dialogues, the nearly absence of present AC story, the absence of Isu and their artefacts, the nearly absence of Assassins VS Templars, the insufferable grinding for abilities, the grinding for ressources, the return of Odyssey loot system, the return of territory quest system like in Valhalla. But the worst of all was the battle pass thing. Seriously ? A battle pass in a singleplayer game ? The in-game shop was already a shame and everyone was mocking Ubisoft for their greediness for years now. But somehow they managed to do something even worse.

I am done with this studio. I think if Ubisoft go bankrupt at this point it would be a mercy for them and their customers. But at the same time I really hope someone will buy the company and reorganise this mess, because I think Ubisoft might still be saved if things change drastically in this studio. But until then Ubisoft is cooked for now.

So if you are an AC fan, do yourself a favour and avoid this game entirely. Or wait a big sale. This game doesn’t deserve our money and our time. We shouldn’t encourage Ubisoft to go down this route for this beloved franchise even further. Yes it’s hard when you are a fan of AC or Ubisoft (like a I am myself, don’t mistake me), but at this point it is the best thing to do for both the studio and us customers.

Ubislop delayed the game to polish it how many excuses do we have to tolerate with all this AAA company keep promising? Even a playstation 2 title runs better than this game

Good on you for not buying this game OP.
If you look at this board you’ll see that a lot of people actively defending the game aren’t even playing it and when they do they still waste most of their time defending it on this board.

Meaning the game isn’t captivating enough. It’s not good enough. It’s boring, even. Only way to explain that.

So yeah if even defenders get bored of it that easily it’s not that good of a game sadly.

Ah yes.... this fake video....

My 800€ GPU can run it stable 60fps because my Monitor is capped at 60.
max settings NO upscaling 1440p

People cannot see the woods for the trees. The reason many will defend it is because of the aggressive nature many have against it. And so they defence mechanism kicks in and retorts begin. If this is the high peak of quality gaming then what can i say. Some are easily pleased i guess.

And I never said they should :)

My main point was that even though they are currently playing the game they still spend a lot of time on this board defending it and discussing other things instead of actually playing the game they defend so much.

It's just weird. When I like and enjoy a game I usually focus on playing that instead of tabbing out every minute to tell people not to hate on the game. I just let them be and enjoy myself. Guess I'm oldschool like that though lol

And when you don't like a game you focus on trolling the forums for it instead of playing games you do like?

A good amount of people seem to do that, yeah. Sadly.
Don't know what they have to do with our conversation though.
Just pointing out how funny it is. I mean even the defenders are giving people reasons NOT to play the game.

More power to them though. Seems like AC:S is like every new netflix movie which you have running in the background while doing other stuff. At least that's what I get reading all those comments defending the game.
