Literally everything cool about this game was taken from shadow of war/Mordor and those games have so much more to them. Including very fun combat and stealth mechanics.
Invested in the story of a more-than-decade-old franchise that obviously stopped going anywhere more than 6 games ago. There is no story in Assassin's Creed, its not going anywhere, theres never going to be an ending. Assassin's Creed is like a cartoon without continuity. Like a TV show on its 15th season. It will get cancelled one year and whatever last game was made will be the "ending" of the story. It won't be a satisfying conclusion written with passion, it will be a begrudging abandonment of their cashcow franchise
i'm not sure if you'd be interested, because i haven't been watching you for long but there is a AC Vr game confirmed to realease in the next year or so, but yeah
It was the last good one. You could tell they cared and tried to do something with what they’d messed up Odyssey was fun, but lacked the soul. It had memes and I enjoyed that too Valhalla lacked all of that it was a soulless shell with so many bugs and problems that I never could finish it.
Ubisoft knew this game was just Valhalla DLC and based on how small this game is compared to Valhalla they didn't risk marketing this game at 70$ cause it's been awhile since Valhalla and Ubisoft needed a win so they reduced the price and marketed this game more than their other games.
@quintus920 Right? I understand that not everyone isn't going to enjoy the games like me, but this hurt to watch. Seeing zanny barely pay attention to the game was irritating. Why finish the game if you aren't going to pay attention to the story? Sure it's not the best story, but it was still well written enough for the ending to surprise me even if it wasn't anything new.
@@sheeves5376Simply because there are other games worth giving more attention to. You said it yourself, it's not the best story and it isn't anything new, so if that is indeed the case, then I can understand Zanny for not putting attention to it and only finding something worth putting attention to in the game, like the gameplay for example... which isn't even anything new as well.
@Endersoul-tx1of You're 100% right, trying to defend Ubisoft is an uphill battle. I enjoy their games, but it's getting hard to defend them when they've stopped improving the quality of their games a long time ago. I just want them to do better.

The story of Yasuke (the Black samurai) isn't entirely true, by the way. He was a slave that the Portuguese gave to Oda Nobunaga; he served as a retainer and died in obscurity. He wasn't a samurai.

challenging in a way of mechanics not by making enemies damage sponges is very important.
Tenchu did that and it was great. You couldn't tank hits so avoiding combat was always the way to go.
dishonored 2 did a good job of that imo
@@maeckknox6535 For a big healthbar to add to challenge at all, it has to be an order of magnitude higher than reasonable, to bore the player until their technique deteriorates
Play on hard. It actually makes combat harder (duh) and stealth a lot more important, cause any enemy can be one shotted in stealth
It's a shame that history doesn't tell us much about the legendary Six-Dude Army
