Origins was as much of a boring game as Odyssey or Valhalla. The ONLY reason it stands out is because most people LOVE the Egyptian setting.

Origins suffers from the same issues all the other games suffer from. The voice acting from Bayek was very nice but that should be expected from a AAA game. Like Odyssey, most side missions are boring fetch quest with plastic NPC hamfisting their lines. It's insufferably soulless.

All AC games are reskins and suffer from soulless and mindless filler. If you take away the side content the game is barely 12 hours. It's a old woman dressed as a hot chick. That's how Ubisoft works in ALL their games. They dress it up nicely, but on the inside it's the same old soulless shit.

This game will be just as soulless and boring probably. Ubisoft needs to fall hard before they can stand out again. They need to learn from their mistakes. Star Wars Outlaws was step 1. This will be step 2.

I don't really disagree, i was talking about the open world map.

I feel the story was a little stronger than the next games because it was less divided in several arcs. I actually remember some little moments of the story.

But Origins came first in 2017 anyway, it has more merits. To me Valhalla is the most boring, Odyssey had some fun aspects but too much nonsense.

The map won't change how boring and soulless it is. No matter how hot your wife is, if she has no soul or personality you're gonna cheat or dump her.

To be fair, origins also didn't have the horrible grinding that the others had in order to make people buy xp boost dlc.

I completed Origins a few months ago including all side missions and this game is full of grinding if you don't do the soulless side content. It's just the worst kind of game design. They wanted a Witcher 3 kind of game but totally misunderstood what makes that game great:

Heart and soul.

And that’s why he doesn’t fit in as an assassin where you’re supposed to be sneaky and nimble and able to hide in plain sight. How can he hide anywhere or do any acrobatics? I’d say that he can’t. And then we’ll end up in that scenario where you’re counting minutes until it’s over if there are forced samurai missions with gameplay restrictions.
It’s called Shadows. They should’ve focused on the ninja.

Tsushima MC is climbing and hiding and doing ninja stuff in full samurai armor so this is dumb ass complaint.

 

[Fess]

But you wouldn't use him for sneaking missions, right? You would use the Japanese female.

When is Assassin’s Creed not about sneaking? Isn’t the core gameplay in AC to literally be a ninja and hide either in the shadows or in plain sight through crowd stealth and take out targets without getting spotted?
When you mess up it becomes a brawler but I don’t see the need for a character swap to a bulky samurai there, I would just run away and hide and try to reenter stealth mode again.

And if there are forced samurai missions with no sneaking/climbing we would end up in that scenario talked about earlier when many would count the minutes until it’s over.

I don't think anyone knows what the hell AC is anymore. It wants to be everything and it ends up being nothing.

my Dad aways told me this "Son, do not start an argument with stupid ppl, because you won't be able to reason their stupidity out" i ll follow his advice.

So nothing, got it. You should think with your own brain, not your dads.

What about ghosts looks better than shadows? Visuals? Combat? Story? Name something or get up outta here lol

I'm just laughing at this notion that there is nothing Tsushima does better without even playing Shadows. To me, the visuals look much cleaner in GoT and the cleverness of using the wind to point a direction is much better than a solid white line. There. "One thing"

And I love TLOU 2, so much for that worthless generalization. You are just living up to your tag yet again.

I’ve played ghosts in its entirety, so I can easily compare it to a game thats in the same genre but not out yet..

I dont need to play a game to know whether it looks good or not. Thats what trailers are for. What year is this?


Visually it objectively looks better, as it should. It’s releasing on better hardware. Combat looks more fluid and has more depth to it from the trailers ive seen. The world has more to explore in it.

I can see all of these things without playing it. This is an internet gaming forum, we discuss shit before it’s out.

And I can just dismiss your take because you are simply pretending these trailers equate to playing the damn game. It doesn’t. Discuss it all you want but you are going past discussion to full fledge comparisons. It’s absurd

 

[Represent.]

Ok. So never get hyped or take anything from a trailer. You have to platinum a game before you make any judgement. Got it.

You act like this is the only trailer ever released for the game. They’ve released tons of gameplay footage that focuses on combat, exploration, etc… you know .. enough to get a good idea of what the games all about

I’ve seen enough to know that from what I’ve seen, it shits all over ghosts

 

[Black_Stride]

Dude, he is extremely muscular which is IMPOSSIBLE in those days.

We are travelling through time using DNA memories and we have been hunting magic balls, one of which was in the possession of George Washington another which was recovered from the moon by Apollo 11 (why else would we go to the moon?).........thats all okay......but a buff black dude in Feudal Japan?
No absolutely not thats IMPOSSIBLE.

Yes that’s the problem and no I’m not kidding. Go look at a video when he’s fighting, he’s huge. Then imagine him starting to climb walls or sneak in the grass…

Can you imagine him trying to sneak around on someone's roof? It'd likely sound like *clomp clomp clomp clomp* lmao.

His gameplay style isnt stealth.
He plays like the aggro style of Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla.
Naoe plays closer to classic Assassins Creed more stealth and nimble.
So if you want to play aggro use Yasuke, you want more Stealth use Naoe.



I know its a bit divisive, but for me it makes more sense that the different playstyles would be literal different characters.
One character being a bruiser who fucks up everything and also at the same time the most nimble parkour artist doesnt make much sense.

Never said there is nothing to take away from these trailers and you know it. More shit you made up just like how the game compares to Ghost.

Tsushima MC is climbing and hiding and doing ninja stuff in full samurai armor so this is dumb ass complaint.

You think Yasuke would be a fitting character choice for Ghost of Tsushima? Would literally be the same thing. Jin is what 5’5 maybe? But look at Yasuke in an earlier post I made, he’s a hulk compared to other people, a head taller than the rest, and wide. Doesn’t fit in any role as a ninja or ghost or stealth assassin as far as I’m concerned. Would fit as a badass villain though, big powerful end game boss samurai for a nimble ninja to take down, that’s how I would do it.

One thing that AC and Ghosts of Tsushima have in common is the soulless fetch quest side content where you talk to retarded plastic NPC's. Both of these games shouldn't even be open world. Without the side content these games are 12 hours.

[Gilgalaad]

It’s really beautiful but i’m afraid it will be boring to play after few hours. Like a lot of Ubi open worlds.

AC lost me since Black Flag.

I will waiting for reviews before decide.

AC Black Flag is just as bloated as all the other AC games. It ain't even much better or worse. It's just that people liked being a pirate. It's still the same soulless shit.

I love open world games, I have nothing to complain about there. I just don’t have any interest to stomp around with a bulky samurai in an Assassin’s Creed game. Literally zero interest. But ninjas is my thing, stealth is my play style, and AC for me is about stealth and carefully plotting the route of the targets and find good spots where I can go in for a quick stealth kill and then zip away unseen.

No he wouldnt because a black dude should not be playing a role of a samurai in the first place. Also since you wanna make your beef about physicals then that tiny little chick should not be a ninja either then because women are not anywhere as physically capable as a man.

Being small and nimble should be a perfect fit for a ninja. And she’d blend in perfectly in a crowd so classic AC gameplay fits nicely there too.

 

[Topher]

You literally said I couldn’t judge the game because I haven’t played it. That was your stupid argument not mine

Bullshit. I literally did not say that. I said you couldn't compare two games like you are without playing both. Your logic suggests we could have full reviews on this game based on these trailers alone. If you want to point out what you like and dislike about what you've seen in these trailers then have at it. Never said you couldn't have a take on any of that and plenty of people have. You are the only one pushing this bullshit idea that you can say definitively that this game is better than GoT. Hell, you may very well end up being right and this game is better than GoT in every way. I'll let you know.......after I play the damn thing. Such a simple concept that you can't seem to grasp.

Below are all my responses to you. Stop making shit up.

I'm just laughing at this notion that there is nothing Tsushima does better without even playing Shadows. To me, the visuals look much cleaner in GoT and the cleverness of using the wind to point a direction is much better than a solid white line. There. "One thing"

Wasting my time, ain't I?

Valhalla and Odyssey had as much of a warrior aspect to them as assassin. That was a complaint that many had about the games. Folks wanted the series to get back to the hooded assassin's and focus let on wear gear and straight up fights. I don't know that there are forced samurai as much as a choice of tactic, which I would be very much in favor of. Either way, I don't think this game expects you to go jumping across rooftops as a giant all armored up like that. If that is the case then I agree with you that it makes no sense.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

AC Black Flag is just as bloated as all the other AC games. It ain't even much better or worse. It's just that people liked being a pirate. It's still the same soulless shit.

Black Flag is like a break-neck rollercoaster ride compared to the extreme bloat of Odyssey. I remember I was like 60 hours into that game when I realized I hadn't seen a full third of the world map yet. The minute-to-minute gameplay was actually fine but there was just so much of the same activities that it became completely tedious.

 

[Manwithoutfear]

Skipping Valhalla was the greatest decision I could have made, cuz the more I see of this game, the more I want it.
Naoe will be mine!!!!

Bring on the Kusarigami

I love the Kusarigami in Nio

 

[GudOlRub]

You got Mirrage...Did you bought it? Did you liked it? Want more games like Mirrage?

Yes I bought it, at launch, for me it was the anti-Origins, despite the story being utter shite, gameplay-wise without using the stupid teleporting powers it was easily the most fun I've had with an AC game since Syndicate.

 

[VanCityGamer]

You got Mirrage...Did you bought it? Did you liked it? Want more games like Mirrage?

Mirage is okay. I easily liked Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla better though.

 

[hemo memo]

Not bad, honestly.

[custardbun01]

Tbh I think it looks quite good. Would be a relaxing game to just plug away at not paying attention to the story. AC games are saddled by their lore now. They’d be better as stand alone titles not concerned with the codex, animus, aliens and all that claptrap.
