To all the AC haters

[MelAU]

Complaining about combat, you'd have hated the old days when two buttons won every single fight LMAO

[Z-Bash]

People are allowed to be upset, but I think more people are upset about things unrelated to the combat considering this is an AC game

I liked the old 2 button combat system.

I hate the neo AC number crunching. Plus whatever else is going on. Syndicate and Unity were the tipping point for this tacked on RPG crap. Really boring games.

Which is why I won't play these modern AC games.

The combat is still pretty simplistic and easy, albeit I really dislike the instant kill on counter gimmick as well

With that being said, its a matter of subjective opinion and bias.
The biggest problem for me, is not action stealth combat ( I prefer more tactical combat)

The story, character interaction and agency is more important to me and they are this games weak point (most Ubisoft games are awful at that)

There are simply better alternatives. But I respect and understand why some like this gameplay.

Depends on the mood, sometimes I want to just unplug and watch an action movie, sometimes I want something a bit more engaging. Exactly the same with gaming.

Yeah Unity was the major game change they obviously wanted to stick with going full rpg. People complained, Syndicate happened, people complained again, back to full rpg with Origins. lol That was weird and interesting. I also prefer the older games and would rather play them but I still enjoy the new ones. I ended up sharing thoughts on the series in a recent video if interested:

I loved assassins creed 1, 2, 2, 2, and black flag. The combat was peak back in the day. Hate the newer style.

Hate is an emotion, it is not a form of dialectic

Watching paint dry is more engaging that AC. And seeing how they dumb down the game mechanics which each version.. even paint 3 is more thrilling now, and that was their worse title

[Shook Ones]

The combat is actually great, Yasuke beheading enemies feels satisfying

how is it any different? do AC shadows have an MMO type of gameplay with 20+ hotkeys for your skills? or is this a fighting game with combination of input keys to dish out a single move?

Wait do you guys see that strange line going down? Oh wait just Ubislop's market summary lol
