That's the thing, it actually is written down, that's how a particular date can be used as a statement etc. If you're gonna do a statement or edgy troll in both of these cases, these would 100% be the dates you would use for it, nothing else comes close. Coincidence? It's 1 chance in 365.

Again, this is something the left has been doing for some time, when it's father's day the leftists at Naughty Dog taunted fathers with a meme about Joel getting his head bashed in etc. They think they're so edgy and cool.

you gotta be a retard to claim it's coincidence every time they do this. Why would it happen just for these leftist extremist studios.. Of course their excuse is "it's coincidence", and of course they will get away with that, who could prove otherwise (apart from using common sense, math..)? That's why they do it and you totally buy into it...

so edgy. similarly to how they released rings of power on tolkien's death day, they think its funny because they know it's just the core fans who will know what they're doing, and they hate them and want to troll them.

There are many other examples of this practice, it's always coming from leftist pieces of shit. They can't meme for shit, but they can google dates and try to release stuff on those dates to make their stupid extremist "statements" (or just edgy trolls) Rolling Eyes
That site usually has some BS reporting but in this case it checks out, assuming that really is the chosen day for the release date. The torii gate fuckup was bad enough, but ubishit keeps outdoing itself Laughing

No sane person wants a company to fail. And that's coming from a person who absolutely hated the living guts out of every splinter cell after Chaos Theory.

But AC stopped being fun for me ages ago. The overcrowded map with dumb activities, the stupid drone/bird mechanic, marking enemies as well as the RPG elements shoehorned into the game, probably because a focus study told them it was 'hip'.

About the nicest thing I can say about them these days is that they're pretty tourism adverts for whichever country the game's setting happens to be in.

I don't see any damage control on the forum, you mean someone posting a video which isn't entirely negative? Not sure i would call it damage control.

They can't afford to let this be total garbage, it'll appeal to the same crowd who liked the 4'ish earlier games. Mirage seems to have sold well.

It'll sit at Mostly Positive i bet, above something like Starfield but below e.g Origins.

They have lost it with AC games, it's not AC anymore. This is just another Samurai game. And Valhalla showed how boring and tedious the ubi formula can be. This is a marketing dissaster.

It's more like R6 and a few select ACs have been keeping all of their bad decisions slightly above water for years now

What was the truly last good AC for you? It's Black Flag to me, from 12 years ago.

I spent years playing old AC's one after the other, enjoying most (certainly more than any new ones), but at around the time Origins/Odyssey came about they all went to shit. Origins was okay, and they should have focused on making more meaningful open worlds from then on. At the time, I loved Odyssey, but when I found out how truly padded the world was, I got sick of it. Still, I powered through and reached the end.

Valhalla is on another level though. The most soulless AC yet. To top it off, the 'Vikings' are a bunch of Netflix pussies, the world is bland and the appeal of being a Viking is completely lost. I even tried sticking to main missions but got tired of it. Don't know what happens at the end, I don't care either. Shitty characters.

The brilliant Ghost of Tsushima proves how good a game like AC could do in a Japanese setting, and a lot of that was unique. But I bet even with all the delays and financial troubles, this new AC will be the same thing in a different skin.

I love their panic changes too, putting games on Steam far earlier and adding achievements to Steam games which everyone had been asking for, for years Laughing All it took was their potential downfall for them to pull their fingers out. If there was any AC game I would have hope for, it would be what comes after Shadows. I think it's too late for them to make any meaningful changes, the formula is too entrenched.

Valhalla (the last major AC) was by far their best selling one.

Eh, BF was a great pirate game, not a good AC game. I actually liked AC Rogue a lot more, despite it being a "templar" game. Same as Odyssey is maybe a decent Greek half-god game, not a good AC game (I never bothered finishing it)

The last AC I truly, truly enjoyed was AC Origins, which is by far the best out of the "RPG" series of games imoooooo. The last one I enjoyed from the old style of gameplay was AC Unity.

While I agree the Vikings are a bit Netflixified, there are still some great scenes in Valhalla (that I actually finished, compared to the borefest that Odyssey was). This one springs to mind immediately:



(2:18 in, if the timestamp doesn't work)

Aye, GoT was excellent, and by far my favorite non-AC "AC" game Laughing

What a dumbass thing to say. Ghost of Tsushima doesn't prove anything. It's a different game with different sensibilities than AC. Story wise they're widely different and AC can't match it, the writers just aren't good enough.

It's literally the template of modern AC but with more interesting things to do. I don't know how anyone could play an AC game, then GoT, and not see the 1,000,001 similarities

It seems most people can

https://www.google.com/search?q=assassin%27s+creed+ghost+of+tsushima

Either way, we're getting more GoT so I'm happy to skip another AC.

I think Origins was the best of the last few, but that's because it was the first time it branched out and did it this new way. But then they never evolved from that. I would take another Unity over the last few.

After spending several hours playing Assassin's Creed Shadows, the next entry keeps up with the satisfying action and traversal that the series is known for, but it also showcases a sharper eye for worldbuilding, and giving its two protagonists their time in the spotlight. From my time sneaking through fortresses, taking in the sweeping vistas of the open world, and pulling off slick combat finishers, I got to see just how developer Ubisoft Quebec has improved its balancing act of satisfying action, RPG systems, and rewarding open-ended exploration in a captivating new setting that's been long overdue.

I thought that Luke guy sounded pretty genuine as well, didn't seem super impressed + also asked some good questions to the devs...
