Now that the dust has settled, what's the Sup Forumserdict?

it's WE

Boring characters, boring story, boring world. So its just like every other ass creed game but 4.

I don't like the combat, and the leveling system but it's maybe because I'm getting older and don't care that much about getting good at a game

I like it

uplay bullshit
repetitive
not the worst though

Same here
The world is pretty nice and all, but the combat is pretty mediocre and its rather repetetive overall
And the PC port also kind of sucks
An improvement over the last few AC games, but not really a great game

>Boring characters and the story, Aya is one of the worst characters they've ever done, how Ubisoft plans on making a trilogy about Bayek and Aya is beyond me
>Modern time once again brings nothing new and is just a hindrance to the gameplay, I have no idea why they haven't ditched this garbage yet
>World is nothing but bandit camps and some animals like everyone thought it would be
>Quests are just a poor man's witcher 3, complete with investigation shit, no monsters or curses or anything interesting though, everything ends with you killing some bandits

Overall it was pretty bad and I can see why everyone stopped talking about this game after a month or so.

Generic Ubisoft game #1002002

+Open World elements vastly improved, but still not perfect. It helps that not ALL activities are pre-marked on the map for you, you do actually find things via traditional exploration.
+Removing the minima on screen is the best design decision of the decade, more games should do this, you get a lot if player engagement back when you aren't being baby-fed vital information in the corner of the screen.
+Good plot, setting, etc.
They finally stop that horseshit where multiple years pass between each mission, like in Black Flag. It made those games' plot impossible to care about.
+It's not much but seeing players' dead bodies and photos in your game is cool.

-Absolutely awful gameplay. Combat is styled after For Honor, in so that you're locked in and you require a large amount of space to fight, but you almost always get into fights in an alleyway or a tight rooftop, which feels like shit and constantly bugs out the AI.
-Stealth is rudementary, not engaging in the least.
-Platforming has now been completely neutered. Auto-Parkouring takes massive liberties, the character's hands aren't mapped to specific portions of structures, you just stick and climb up on almost everything now. Your cha racer can also jump over twice his height to reach ledges and it looks & feels like garbage.

Overall it felt like two steps forward, one step back. That might sound like a good thing, but the series has become so shit, it needs more than that to be good again.

It's a huge step up from the shitty PS4 releases, but for as huge as the world is, it's pretty boring. Collectables are as spread out as they were in Black Flag, but getting there by horse is slow. Quick travel is nice, but the hubs are too spread apart to collect things in a reasonable amount of time.

Have you ever played Assassin's Creed 2 on PC or PS3?

best game from last year

>Sup Forums plays Black Flag
>enjoys the sailing bits
>turns a blind eye to how fucking awful everything else is, except for the graphics

I fucking hate Black Flag fans, that game was utter fucking trash.

Asscreed 2 was shit, all of them were. 4 was only good because it largely ignored the future shit, more so than the other games.

seems about right

ubisoft open world rehash that runs and plays like shit #23984321498104

Beautiful world
Shit combat
Boring story and characters

Basically a tourism simulator.

>4 was only good because it largely ignored the future shit, more so than the other games.

4 had the worst futureshit of all the games combined. If you didn't care for that element of the games' saga, and just wanted to pirate, sail and fuck about, that element stopped you right dead in your tracks and had you do stupid office quest chores that made me pull my hair out even as someone who had been with the storyline since the very beginning

It went from a piece of shit series to a piece of shit series with microtransations out the shitter.

>stupid office quest chores

Still baffles me that someone looked at that and said "yep, that looks and plays good"

What the fuck is wrong with Ubisoft

It's one of Ubisoft's cookie cutter open-world games with the Assassin's Creed name tacked on it.

>4 is good

When will this meme die, it's a reptitive game that is half tutorial missions and half "tail these faggots and eavesdrop" missions.

How anyone can find the ship battles entertaining after their 10th boarding baffles me since it's just the same rinse and repeat shit from that one mission in ac3 but with worse ai.

It's a decent pirate game but one brought down by the fact that it's based around the generic AC gameplay and it never really adds any variety to it's combat or digs deep into the pirate world.

inb4 >true, but Rogue is 100x better!!1-replies

it's the same tepid shit

this, only that 4 is also shite

It's the same shit just shorter; sad thing is that the story could have been good in Rogue if they just took some more time with it instead of rushing it.

You forget to mention how it's literally unplayable on new machines since it has headache inducing 60fps hard lock. I got this shit for free from Ubi and couldn't play more than 30 mins.

4 was super boring and the naval battle minigame didn't change that.

No, you're on the right. Combat its too clunky and flawed. I get that every game wants to be darksouls now, but AC is supposed to be fast paced and movement focus. Nigger king felt like running through mud with iron shoes.

Leveling system is tacked on. AC use money to level, no shitty exp. Now both exp and money are pointless

>+good plot

>nigger starts killing people off and he's angry... Turns out he kill his faggy kid.

That's a good plot? You empathized with ezio because you felt his struggle and journey from a dandy boytoy to a senior assassin's.

I couldn't care less about shitty waz kangz murder revenge for a kid i know nothing about apart from being a coward.

Shittiest plot of an AC ever, and i played the slave spin off of AC4

>Shittiest plot of an AC ever
>Expecting a plot of any quality
That ship has sailed since the end of Ezio's journey.

Any game's story that has a kid in it is going to be 100% shit

Game and the devs expects you to care but you've just known the kid for 5 minutes before he dies because devs don't know how to write anything else, and every single time he has a terrible voice actor.

This, plus having a kid is not something people playing video games can relate to
