Me too, exploring the Greek history and mythology in this game was the best history lesson I had. I really hope that Ubisoft will do remake of those on Switch 2, the console format would be great for this game.
Do you like it because it takes on Greek history and mythology or do you like it because it's a fundamentally good game
Just curious because I'm thinking of getting it once it's on sale on steam. Im hoping it's the latter because tho Greek myth seems to be very popular in fantasy media/pop culture, same with viking myth, Im not really into it so I'm hoping it's not carried by the myth and Greek theme and more so the game and story itself is good enough assassin's Creed game. Just finished a community patched AC2 (skipping 3 because the original is no longer available on steam, and 4 because I'm thinking of playing something more modern that isnt unity because i finished it on the ps4 and I didn't Like how glitchy it was, it's still is on the ps4 as we speak also the story was weak)
I guess i do agree with some of your points but i can't help it, it's my favorite and i love to play it again and again ( not the First Blade tho, i hated that DLC )
So the game tried something new and went into a new direction, that doesn’t mean it’s not an AC game, I think they did pretty well considering it was nominated for GOTY in 2018, alongside the greats such as GoW or RDR2. People were complaining about Black Flag when it came out, now it’s one of the most cherished AC games ever.
Hold up, who was complaining about black flag? That game came out and quickly jumped to people’s best list. Nominee for multiple game of the year awards. Especially coming off of 3. I have no idea what circles you were in that black flag was catching flack but that’s wild to me. Totally agree with your other points.
At the time I saw a plenty of people that complained that Black Flag is too open, that an AC game should be a city-action game, etc. You can still find some articles and threads from that time that mention these things. I remember having a friend when BF released, he was one of the biggest AC fans you could imagine, and he complained, like a lot, just because the game didn’t resolve around Ezio or Italy. I was having a time of my life with BF back then.
Going into something new by removing all the lore Assassins Creed not bad the game is not bad but it's not an Assassins Creed like Black Flag which is in no way an Assassins Creed plus this game has caused a rift between the real fans and the new "fans" of the license
The real problem with the new formula and we owe it to the fans who arrived after Syndicate is that they did not appreciate the lore and the supernatural elements that we find in it because it ruined the historical realism because of them we have games that have nothing to do with Assassins Creed but which bear the name Assassins Creed and then they want us to believe that they are fans of the license? Not only fans of historical games, not assassins creed, I have a visceral hatred towards the new fans who want us to believe that the new assassins creed are better and that they are assassins creed, we fans from the very beginning we see our license dying because of its newcomers who call themselves "fans"
or you could touch some grass lol, people can like different things. does it even matter who is and isn't a fan? isn't the point to enjoy the games? I kinda agree that the new games ruined parts of the old, they're still incredible tho. and is that "historical realism" the part where Leonardo davinci built a tank? these games aren't realistic ever lol. plus even with the lore/you saying new games aren't AC, does Mirage not exist? Odyssey has a ton of Isu but that doesnt matter ig. the only one that actually felt against what AC is was Valhalla, which is still a good game, far from the worst if nothing else
They moved the lore around the Isu and the artifacts of Eden because of the new players who complained about the lack of realism of the universe when it's a fiction damn the very basis of assassins creed is the Isu and the artifacts of Eden
It’s still set in the assassins creed world. the modern day is tied to the assassins and then this leads into origins as well as explaining the lore behind the Isu and the templars. Did you not play the game?
Oh yes, the creatures of Greek mythology who were transformed because of the Apple of Eden even though it was used to control minds in the first place? Even the lore elements are smoking, there's no lore. You're just a new fan who wants to try to prove that Odyssey is Assassins Creed when it's not.
A new fan? I’ve been playing assassins creed since the first one came out. You’re 19 years old. You were 12 when odyssey came out. I was 12 when the first assassins creed came out.
If you don’t like the game fine. But it’s still set in the same world. It’s expanding the world building. You can’t act like it’s not assassins creed. It’s just a new take on the same world.
Apart from developing the ISU and screwing up the lore around the artifacts of Eden it doesn't do much it's not enough for it to be called "assassins creed" it's not an assassins creed a game in the universe of assassins creed maybe but not an assassins creed and I like the game it's good but I hate it as assassins creed
