It's ____________fun
Christian Fisher
It's boring
Christopher Cooper
but is it fun, nufun or soyfun?
Anthony Brown
Good game in general.
Scenery kino.
One of the best protags in a while.
Shit story.
Some side quests cool, some forgettable.
It's fun and the best AC since Black Flag, solid 8/10, worth a pirate.
Adam Howard
It's a horribly optimized game where you kill your own son and get angry. You go out on a quest visiting cities with actually very beautifully done models and textures to kill some masked men that made you kill your son.
You're also a sand nigger.
The combat is new, but honestly not all that great still. It tries to be a dark souls, but fails poorly.
The quests are mostly - Go here do this, go here do that. Standard Ubisoft shit.
That's about it.
Leo Edwards
soyfun probably. Idk. I don't waste my time or money on soy games.
Lucas Powell
I want to fucking kill you
Aaron Harris

shut your whore mouth
Luke Mitchell
what did he mean by this?
Zachary Hughes
Both of these are correct.
Brody Martinez
Artificial fun
Jacob Roberts
Awesome DLCs so far
Carter Clark
It's fun in short session of 2 hours after work. The settings help a lot at keeping you engage in the game.
Alexander Reed
It’s basically WE WUZ the game but it’s pretty fun.
Caleb Ramirez
> I'm faggot and I hate fun
k, dawg
Ayden Sullivan
>le we wuz meme
>when the guy is a nubian/egyptian and there's nothing we wuz about this game in anyway
cant you shitposters just say "its fun" and be done with it? faggots
Jack Wood
what is even a soy game. give me 5 examples of this
Carson Watson
Thought I'm the only one from this neets nest who goes to work
Matthew Robinson
>That's about it.
That's a good write up. It's not bad but not good either. Very repetitive. The RPG elements are a pain in the ass and don't add anything positive to the gameplay.
I got about half way through the story and gave up because of the repetition. The world they've built is fantastic though. Very impressive.
Nolan Allen
Outside the afterlife part which are great, it's more of the same.

Undertale and Gone Home

It's pretty enjoyable, but lacks any sufficient challenge. Looks pretty though if you can ignore the forced Dindufication.

soyfun are games that call back to the childish years of the modern man who to this day replaces hobbies with nintendo and indie games. those games are colorful, usually pixelshit, but try to use mature themes throughout so the nu-boy can confirm in his own head that "yes, this is acceptable for a man my age"
Dominic Richardson
Yeah, "go clear ? marks" formula got kinda boring for me at this point. 120 hrs is still a good result though
William Barnes
we are three then
Ian Barnes
how is undertale a soy game
you still haven't provided any example, user. lead by example
Nicholas Hall
Ubi said they wanted Witcher stuff, so did they add monsters already? I mean, it's the farthest game, you'd see shit like Ayy tech and experiments. At least, you're supposed to
Kayden Anderson
Explain to me how the story works in these games.
There was the Ezio trilogy then the Desmond trilogy I think and then each game just has its own protoganist that aren't related or how does it work?
Camden Collins
>did they add monsters already?
Not really, you get a few in the last dlc.
Easton Diaz
they never said that
they just took heavy inspiration from Witcher's game design/structure
there's no ayy tech and experiments since it isn't far enough in the past, just some shitty pillars that talk to you
Dominic Stewart
Takes place in ptolemaic egypt. You're a fucking dope.
Elijah Foster
How accurate are the references to the history and mythology of the culture or are we talking "let's just make a magical cat cause Bast lol"
Landon Reyes
witcher 3 in egypt but without the depth
Liam Turner
this. Setting and graphics are top notch. DLCs are fucking expensive tho. I hate Ubi for that
Josiah Smith
Gonna give you a quick rundown.
The original team with the actual creator of AC planned for a trilogy. You had AC1, AC2 and then his eventual AC3, which never came and probably would've been very different to the AC3 we got.
With AC2's success Ubi wanted to turn it into a cashcow and therefore basically ripped the planned documents and threw them into the trash. Brotherhood and Revelations weren't even supposed to happen.
So they created multiple teams and made Brotherhood and Revelations to cash in on Ezio. Then they made their piece of shit version of AC3 which they used to kill Desmond off because he was basically part of the old AC plan and to move forward they needed new ground. After that, with Black Flag through Syndicate, they tried to create some new plotline that didn't really work out well and only moved at a snail's pace in each game.
They took that plotline and shoved it into their comic books series which is read by 5 people on the entire planet. With Origins they are yet again "rebooting" stuff and introducing a new plotline.
Basically everything after AC2 is fanfiction and they made up things along as they went. Their newest attempt now started with Origins.
John Torres
... Seriously? That sounds really retarded.
I get that the modern day character has the memories but is it at least the same modern day character going through ancenstor memories or is it literally "here are random people from history"?
Lucas Stewart
The Ezio trilogy is part of the Desmond "trilogy" but really Desmond has like 5 games. He goes through Altair (1), Ezio (2, Brotherhood, Revelations), and Connor's (3) memories. After that, you control either a random person or a literally who in the other games, but Connor's game is also part of a trilogy (3, 4/Black Flag, and Rouge). But Rouge also ties into the plot of Unity somewhat. Origins precedes every game and shows how the Assassins and Templars got their start before they became what they are called in the Crusades.
Aaron Gutierrez
>the good
pretty graphics I guess
you can mostly ignore the present day cancer that everyone hates, but it still comes in to break any immersion you had every now and again
>the bad
tedious, repetitive combat when you're level-matched with your enemies
you'll spend like 60% of your playtime just traveling from A to B because it has a massive open world with fucking nothing in it and fast travel even to major cities is not unlocked from the beginning
garbage side quest design, they're mandatory too or level scaling punishes the shit out of you
boring protagonist and supporting cast in general, except Bayek's wife who is your sterotypical strong woman and straight up irritating
awful itemization and grindy as fuck crafting system
architecture is just not suited for an AC game
There's no point in longer dev times if you still can't make a game even half as good as Brotherhood or Black Flag.
Joseph Brooks
I got 30 hours in and stopped playing because the quests are so damn boring, the world is real nice but the leveling system is a bit grindy it also runs like shit on good rigs, it hits 100% on all cpu cores on my i7 7700
Kevin Price
A bald assertion isn't an argument. I've already refuted your representation based arguments. Give me something else.
Julian Wood
The people who made it think you should be beaten and thrown in jail for believing the things that you believe.
That's all anyone should need to know.
Jackson Perry
>But muh devs are sjw!
when will Sup Forums realize we don't give a fuck? if a game is mechanically good, it deserves to be played
Camden Clark
lower antialising, you nigger
Parker Myers
Its already quite low i have it at x2
Dylan King
Holy shit mind blown. I feel enlightened, thank you based user.
Cooper Wilson
Yeah lemme explain.
During Desmond's stay in the series, the Animus worked in that way: He lied down, it read HIS dna and he relieved HIS ancestor's memories.
In Black Flag, the people that made the Animus (Abstergo Industries) formed a sub company called Abstergo Entertainment. They created "game consoles". Now here's how it works: Animus tech advanced so much so that you don't need the actual guy using it, you just need his/her DNA. They store those memories that are inside DNA in their cloud service.
So what happens is that normies in the Ass Creed world go and buy these consoles and relieve history by experiencing some random's DNA that got uploaded to the cloud. But Abstergo somehow also alters those memories in a way so that they manipulate their thinking in such a way that the Templar's idea of peace (controlling humankind) is better than the Assassin's idea.
That is basically how it goes from Black Flag to Syndicate. You don't have an actual character, you play as "yourself". The story is always: Assassins in Modern Day found important person that happens to be an Assassin that had contact with a Piece of Eden, they contact some normie (you) to relieve these memories before Abstergo finds you, give location of PoE to the MD Assassins.
In Origins we got an actual new protagonist though. She's a bitchy mary sue cunt that works for Abstergo and has built her own super Animus. The way her Animus works is that you can get DNA from something as old as mummies and still relieve them. She relieves memories to show Abstergo how talented she is as an engineer, then finds out that there's something fishy going on with the whole company and cuts ties with them, making a pact with the Modern Day Assassins as a result (with Desmond's dad, who somehow knew where she was).
Currrent plotline is time shenanigans, btw.
Hudson Turner
Stop playing Assassin's Creed.
Chase Clark
Good protag
Trash ending and story
Trash side characters
Good side-content and main missions
Beautiful scenery
Better combat than the last games, but could be much much better
Trash bosses, fucking horrible
Worth a buy
Parker Baker
As good as AC can get
Which is still not that good in general
Jose Watson
Post soy nu-fun.
Connor Cook
This seems a lot like the MGS series in that the story isn't to be taken seriously and each game should be considered it's own thing but is more like fan fiction to MGS1
I'll try the first two-three and see how it is
Josiah Phillips
>Unity in top tier
Jonathan Reed
Hell, Kojima and his feud with Konami is almost idential to the AC creator and his feud with Ubisoft.
Only, his story is much worse.
Logan Reyes
Well, what do I believe and what to the developers of AC Origins have against it?
Jonathan Foster
>Good protag
This. Bayek is really the only redeeming thing in an otherwise mediocre game.
Ethan Adams
> Black Flag God Tier
> Unity Top Tier
> AC 2 Low Tier
> AC Brotherhood Shit Tier
Is the list reversed or something?
Easton Bennett
Neo-nusoyfun.
Ive seen gif of the actual gameplay and it looks pretty cool.
Jacob Taylor
>Unity
>not top tier
Is this another "anons saw a thread a long time ago about how buggy Unity was and now think it's a shit game" episode?
Dominic Reyes
>This is a darky
Honestly I could buy it being arab but not much darker.
Michael Fisher
Black flag is the best. I agree on AC 2 and brotherhood though. Should be higher.
Justin Ortiz
Brandon James
No it's a "I played it and it's shit" episode. Only game in the series I've ever dropped.
Isaiah Parker
Thought the combat would be better but it's still boring as hell.
Camden Smith
It's mid tier at most user. I played it on release, I even 100%ed it on my PS3 back then. How can you compare that story to Ezios? They ruined it when they killed Desmond.
Isaac Bennett
I tried it when the pirate version came out about a month ago.
The scale is overwhelming, it's absolutely fucking massive.
It is not a bad game either, and it looks great. I played on medium settings with my GTX 660.
I'll play it later, I stopped it to try Kingdom Come.
Xavier Edwards
Terrible sidequests that all play out the same, combat that plays the same as last current gen AC games but somehow worse animation, worse story compared to the last 2 games already bad stories, the worst ending I have ever seen in an AC game, same empty world interaction wise that every AC game has but this time it's bigger!
I could go on and on but I feel like the only people who enjoyed this game were viral marketers or people who have never played an AC game or played the second one a decade ago and don't realize how stale the series has become.
Gabriel Rogers
I respect people who say Black Flag is good. I could never get into it myself. I don't play AC to sail around in ships, I play to freerun around killing people.
Aiden Nguyen
>How can you compare that story to Ezios?
Arno is basically Edward in reverse, just replace "muh fortune" with "muh Elise". And he never bothers to go back and fix his fuck ups like Edward did.

tl;dr: It's not perfect, it makes some deviations in terrms of attiire, and portrays Cleopatra and Julius Ceaser using tropes and cliches about them from fiction, but the cities themselves and the generral society being shown is highly accurate, and overall it's one of the most accurate fictional portrayals of egypt in decades
Zachary Jones
any articles mentioning ancient egyptian schools?
Asher Fisher
The enviorment is why I played the game. Im a archeologyfag so the pyramid exploration was choice.
Noah Morgan
>it's one of the most accurate fictional portrayals of egypt in decades
Except Cleopatra being a nigger.
Josiah Young
Damn boy, what games are acceptable?
Alexander Bailey
In terms of world building it is. It actually feels like a major historical event is happening in Unity where most of the games their historical setting is used as a lazy backdrop to throw the game in a new setting. It's like the only game where the world seems like there's a lot of life and events going on all around you. Not too mention it still compares visually and even trumps Origins in some respects. Origins really just has the good graphix argument, everything else about it is bland. They constructed pyramids and you would expect a really impressive set piece dungeon inside filled with crazy precursor tech or something and all you get is five minute segments in them with glowy blue trails on the wall and a talking cube at the end.
Tyler Price
this is cleo, say something nice about her
Camden Morales
>Origins really just has the good graphix argument, everything else about it is bland
Replace Origin with Unity (half half of the other ac games) and its still accurate
Dylan Bell
outside of graphix unity is a trash too
Gavin Clark
Damn Miss Cleo looked like THAT?
Jonathan Hall
Glad you asked.
It's hard for the average person to be able to enjoy the intricacies of ludae; but unless you have brain damage, you can try. And once you've trained your mind's eye, you can immediately spot what is ludo and what is not.
Wyatt Sanders
never cared for the franchise and the animus hi-tech shit kinda annoys me, i just want a good game set in ancient egypt, does this one deliver?
Xavier Diaz
>for the average person
Damn, you spergies suddenly think you're part of some kind elite
Logan Scott
>The quests are mostly - Go here do this, go here do that.
holy shit you just described all of gaming
bravo!
William Taylor
That's the opposite of what I'm saying. Anyone can enjoy ludo unless they have brain damage, it's not some elitist secret club
Nathaniel Jackson
I have only one problem with this game, and its the arbitrary level requirements for the main quest. It forces you to grind boring side quests. If it wasn't for that it'd honestly be the best AC.
Kevin Roberts
>this whole post increased the size of my tumor
Jack Perez
>rouge and unity top tier
Connor Adams
I've played through all of the games on release and Unity felt the most cohesive when it comes to the current gen ones. All of the games have the same hooks when it comes to gameplay pretty much. The only interesting thing is the historical events and cities they center the individual games around. And usually they seem like Disney Epcot versions of them where all they did was make some impressive models of historical buildings and did fuck all with the setting or landmarks. Unity played with the idea of puzzles and crazy precursor tech being hidden among it all on top of having it's historical event which was the French Revolution actually seem like something that is eventful and part of the game. Origins takes the lazy way out and sets Egypt at it's period of stagnation and it just seems like a reason to do nothing interesting with the world, just creating some impressive models and making it bigger with the only difference with that being there's much more horseback/camel riding. None of the gameplay mechanics are that impressive in any of the games so I always review them based on what they do with their historical settings and environments, and Origins really doesn't seem to do anything with its own.
Jackson Jackson
dude lets just spam the streets with npc that'll be really interesting haha
Benjamin Cooper
>the French Revolution actually seem like something that is eventful and part of the game.
Oppiste for me. Too much sidequest === revolution is just a scripted scene, where nothing happens. At least they tried to cover with guillotine executions and other shits.
I love that era of history but it was a mehh.
The fact that you can simply enter buildings because there are no doors for some reason for example, is illusion breaking as fuck. I never understood le no door meme
Brayden Perez
There was another post there that addressed this part of the game, but I couldn't find it to link it.
Mason Hernandez
So i take it they want to make a sequel in Acient Rome?
Charles Johnson
I was expecting the peaks and former highs of the Egyptian Empire. I think it would have been more interesting instead of the waning period. The character's boring revenge plot took center stage and everything from the precursors, historical events and meta of Abstergo was really underutilized and barely there.
Hunter Evans
Greece is what's been rumored for the sequel.
Julian Flores
