The Most Forgettable Assassin's Creed Game
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2023
- Assassin's Creed Mirage is the most forgettable Assassin's Creed title in years. Not only is it NOT a return to roots, it takes the worst aspects of the originals and hangs on to too much of the RPG game mechanics and systems. I'm sad that Ubisoft let me down with AC Mirage. Is it a bad game?

Assassin's Creed Mirage is BAD Review 
Игры
billion dollar corpos want to make games with the least amount of effort, money and time... not because they have a vision for a good game.
almost all AAA Games are just this and i am sick of it.
Blame the consumers for buying up this garbage
@@kevo300I blame both
If it looks like a ubisoft game, is designed like a ubisoft game, and has a story like a ubisoft game, then it's probably a ubisoft game
Exactly. I haven't bought one since AC2. Idk how people still buy them after all this time
And yet yall out there crying for the slightest crumble their games
@@bbbbbbb51ok Black Flag was S tier with Unity. That’s your problem to miss out on them.
@@stimswwolf7867You can't skip Brotherhood and Revelations either.
@@FordHoard yes. after playing the whole series I'm convinced we never had a good AC stealth game. The fact that ghost of Tsushima comes put of nowhere and actually executes the idea is mind boggling.
To be honest I've been wanting ubisoft to just go belly up because of how the lazy game design has contaminated the industry. Sooner the better
I wish that too then we wouldnt have to wait around and get the inevitable disaster that the open world star wars game theyre doing will be. It looks nice visually but thats it and it looked well like a ubisoft game....yay. People can shit on EA all day and they deserve it for the most part but no way is Ubisoft making anything near as good as Fallen Order or Survivor
@@Jonderlei the game didn’t even come out. How do you know it’s not gonna be like Jedi Survivor? I’m not a Ubisoft fan myself, but to judge something with little footage, is mine boggling
@@Jonderlei I dont even like the series and I agree with you. Ubisoft is stuck in their old ways in a competitive market.
@@stimswwolf7867 Its very clear its not going to be like Jedi survivor from the trailer. You are not a jedi for one so that changes the entire game. pretty good chance itll be a ubisoft game with a star wars skin on it. It might not be the worst thing ever but im very confident it wont be near as good as those games. Might be cool to run around and shoot some stuff in the pretty environments but thats probably it
You think less competition in the gaming market will increase its quality? Typical genius commentator lol.
You know, the truth is the entire industry is just playing it safe. I don't understand why, but here we are. I was looking at the "Ezio Meets Desmond" cutscene from Revelations the other day. The writing was just emotional on another level... :')
Ezio’s trilogy paired with Desmond’s story was absolutely incredible.
>boo the industry is playing it safe
>omg le avengers assembled and I clapped
I'm getting convinced that videogames subreddits are filled with either developers or employees.
Never thought I would say this considering how it was at launch but Assassin's Creed: Unity is where the series peaked. Ubisoft needs to go out of business.
Nope. And frankly I’m tired of people like you. Who ask for gameplay to go backwards. And are somehow responsible of video game going backwards you literally asked for it. And when it’s delivered obviously it suck. You don’t understand the industry, and state thing like unity was peak. No it was not. Maybe for you but this is very suggestive and evidence of bad taste.
Well AC unity was peak for the parkour and city. Combat was really well done too because it was actually pretty difficult so stealth was way more viable. Unity was the first AC game to have crouching lol. Calling it bad taste is a bit silly
@@3loirdsa277saying it was bad without saying why is a nothing argument.
@@3loirdsa277 when was it delivered? Ubisoft literally half asses everything?
@@Bullevue Considering mirage's setting, the parkour works. There is so much more vertical height in france than in baghdad, unless they wanted to make an unrealistic extremely tall baghdad. The parkour works for mirage because it's a small map rather than in unity where the map is quite extensive.
Ah yes the legendary Dome Of The Ass.
This is sad. I was hoping it wouldn't just be "Return to roots" on the surface.
I tried Origins a couple years ago and I couldn't finish it. I played it after fully completing all of the Witcher 3 and its DLC. That made Origins really appear as a clone so much more.
I want the feel of Prince of Persia meets Splinter Cell back.
I was so excited for Origins, being set in Egypt seemed so cool but the only memorable thing about the game was how much of a chore it was to finish
Using things in brilliant games like witcher 3 is a good thing. Odyssey was the first game for me that measures up to the witcher 3 simply because its gameplay is so good, and the characters had a lot of charisma and variety.
@@monalisa-bs4zs It isn't Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed went Halo. They were original and set a trend. Now they are following them.
@@Punkertoonit is assassins creed, when you say return to roots now it's only your nostalgia speaking.
It deviated from the ending of Ezio's saga and Kenway saga
Origins was great tf
I have been so confused because when I hear ppl talking about this game they praise it, but in reality it is shit. So happy there are still gems like u in the community, cuz if ppl keep saying this game is good then the next game is just gonna end up even worse.
Man, so glad you're here to say it. You see the gaming industry the same way I do. You see through the smokescreen. You tell the truth.
It's just an opinion you both share tbh
Not everyone shares this thoughs, Mirage is a blast so far for me and lots of other people.
@@danipatac7210 Look at the industry as a whole. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. The rise of microtransactions, games as a service, the marvel formula and the fix-in-post attitude has destroyed so many franchises and morphed the industry into a greedy for profit shit hole. Games used to be made for people to have fun: now games are made to milk players of their money. If you can't see this obvious and glaring fact then you are part of the problem. All informed gaming enthusiasts who are passionate about gaming know this.
Look, I'm glad you're having fun with the game. But don't deny it's flaws and dismiss the fact that a minority of studios actually care about making games that offer maximum fun and value for customers. The biggest case in point is Balders Gate 3 - that is a title made for players by players that highlights the shortcomings of 90% of other games. And to look at the other side, Cyberpunk took 3 years to become what it should have been (and is even still missing a lot of the promises that were made). Look at the graveyard of live service games. Look at all the single player games that are even getting stuffed with microtransactions to solve problems created on purpose by the studios - such as Assassin's Creed. Look at the broken launches like Redfall. Look at the terrible writing we see in most games, such as Forspoken or Farcry 6. Look at how studios are reviving older titles with remasters because they can't capture the same gold with new titles. Look at how Bungie destroyed what Destiny used to be in the name of making more and more money by manipulating players and on purpose and under delivering so they get praised when they do 1 tiny thing right. Look at how flanderised CoD and BF has become while also sporting some of the least creative game design we've ever seen. Look at how this new Assasain's creed game can't even capture the same tone or impact that the classics made. Look at how Rockstar neglect their single player experiences in favour of their online modes which get literally years of support and millions invested into making players buy more useless crap. Look at how all these incentives to make players log in and psychological tricks are deployed to increase the chances of you buying something.
Old school developers are probably sick to their stomach when they see what the industry has become.
You have been living through the death of games designed for fun and the birth of games designed for profit. It's literally staring you in the face. Don't try and tell me this isn't true without anything to back it up. This is why November is a hero because he actually speaks the truth about these things.
@@danipatac7210good on you for enjoying it, but mirage is an objectively mediocre game
@@MrBossFML Ah. Let's validate one's opinion by adding "objectively" when there's nothing objective about it. Same goes for any other game . TLOU, God Of War, Starfield. So many consider these games great. But objectively speaking, they are mid at best. I'm loving Mirage as well. And i love every assassin game. So, objectively speaking, they are among the best. So, objectively speaking, my opinion holds more power now.
You're all objectively gay
The AC Unity smoke bomb was so clean
I hung up my hidden blades after Black Flag
I figured they just dumped the story in 3 when they killed Desmond and 4 was a good high point to end on.
Glad I'm not missing anything
Ubi games are a perfect example of missed opportunity and wasted talent. Their games could be amazing if they were willing to take risks. But we all know why they don't.
On top of that, Ubisoft doesn’t make the variety of games they used to. Now it’s just AC, Far Cry, and whatever other bi-yearly releases they make for these franchises. Then they complain about games like Elden Ring for whatever reason
Crew motorfest, Avatar, Prince of persia, skull and bones, and x deviant are all being released in the next 6 months. To say ubisoft does not release new games is just a lie.
Who are you comparing ubisoft to? Rockstar? bethesda? Square enix? Bandai namco? Seriously, please let me know who is constantly releasing decent games and i will check out their library coz i really don't think that publisher exists.
@@monalisa-bs4zs Shhh. Common sense is not allowed here. Not just that . Avatar, Star wars , Immortals fenyx rising , the mario/rabbids cross over games they released, The division, Starlink and so so much more.
Man some of these takes are wild. Ubisoft is pretty generic and obviously goes for mass appeal but every game they make is at the very least, a polished place to explore with decent gameplay. And i genuinely want to play whatever it is these people are playing, coz from my experience every other publisher is hit/miss or simply does not create content anywhere the level of ubisoft.@@Keegan8311
By far, the best way to disprove shills is to show them video comparison between old games and new. Its alot tougher for them to justify the regression after seeing it.
You don’t ever really see many people saying that the newer assassins creeds are better than the old ones. It’s more just theyre coping hella hard and hoping that the franchise becomes fun like it used to be.
@@Bullevue I dunno man, i have seen a lot of morons saying their favourite is odyssey/valhalla.
I don't know man I've been a fan of this franchise from the beginning
Odyssey in Valhalla don't necessarily grip me a ton, but origins was straight up my favorite game of 2017 and I go between whether that one or Black Flag is my favorite in the franchise overall
As far as forgettable, that's it tough battle for me between syndicate, rogue, Revelations, and probably Valhalla
@@RYPA190 Most of the people I've encountered who said that either never played the old games or hate them so they jumped onto the RPG games.
@@Bullevue Real and Hardcore Fans love the RPG games.
I think the best thing of Mirage is that at least you feel like an Assassin, doing Assassin's things.
True hell i got tired of the protagonist in Assassins Creed isnt a Assassin Odyssey and Valhalla got on my nerves with that.
I don’t know man people get so mad when the game switches up, I guess they want the same exact crap 10 times over again
An assassin with like 3 assassination animations. But yeah i guess...
yeah we kind want that. I dont wnat ac to be rpg ever.
I remember back in AC 3 when you had to 100% sync every mission to get Altairs robes. That was pretty hard for 13 yr old me but it actually felt worth it, like I’d accomplished something really hard, and I never took the outfit off after that. Such a shame to see a franchise I once loved fall so hard.
Video games really aren’t what they used to be. It’s sad to see. There’s only a few publishers that release good games these days.
Explore indie games. They still are what they used to be and more.
@@TheSinlessAssassinwhile that's true, we're starting to see a slide even there as well. The number of unique ideas being executed in the indie space is shrinking.
Falcom is easily one of my fav game developers these days. At least one great game every year. The only issue is they mostly make turn based RPGs, so limited appeal. And they're a small studio, so graphical fidelity isn't up to par with huge AAA studios.
@@bbbbbbb51yep all i see in inde games are 2d side scrollers or a pixelated games or rogue likes 🤢
Honestly abit yeah I know indie devs are well praised but sooner or later Sod’s Law will happen it always does.
Gotta love coming back from work to see my favorite hotel has uploaded.
I dont think everyone understands how little budget Ubisoft gave Bordeaux for Mirage on top of having to work with Valhalla's GOD-AWFUL ENGINE
I would advice ubisoft to let assassin’s creed breath, clearly they don’t have the heart for assassin’s creed like when they did for the old school assassin’s creed games
A colony of Pink Flamingos flying away from you every 10 seconds in the southern part of the map. I stopped playing after 5 hours
😅😅😅😅 WTF
Dome of the ass left me wheezing
“It’s over for the franchise” meanwhile there’s like 3 other assassins creed games being made right now 😂
Approx 7 including unannounced ones.
From a quality standpoint, it's been over for more than 10 years. I'm currently playing Brotherhood for the first time ever - it shits all over this game.
@@triple7evenn yoooo hell yeah. I wish I could play brotherhood again for the first time. You’re correct. I hope you have a good time
The ONLY thing i look forward too is the AC Black Flag Remake i pray they don't fuck it up 🙏
The comparison of the stealth kills is a good showcase of whats happening to the gaming industry. We do still get some amazing games but theres so much dogshit inbetween. Like that clip is pretty unforgivable,the stuff from unity looks so fucking cool id want to do that shit all game and the stuff from the new one looks like something id want to avoid doing again because of how terrible it looked
Unity, Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla have the best Combat and Stories. Mirage has a bad story, and bad combat.
But dweebs have been crying about bringing back the original core mechanics of combat & stealth so this is what you got. 🤣 Odyssey had the best Combat as you can play stealth or fully fight a multitude of enemies like it's 300.
@nighthawkviper6791 Unity had the shittiest story in the series
@@nighthawkviper6791 If they wanted to bring the original core mechanics of combat back, we should have gotten an evolved form of AC1 combat, but since this was just a DLC dog-bone they viciously cut corners and put the most superficial stamp on it.
back in the day actual planning was involved with attacking outposts to maximize the reward. you could just go in. last AC I played was origins and I just played it because Im kinda obsessed with ancient Egypt. spent 90% of the time going around sight seeing
same, and same for odyssey with me so much so I got all the achievements, I was looking forward to this simply for the exploration and hoped they would include the tomb of nimrod (gilgamesh) but they played it safe, up until they defaced mosques with the star of David eve though it wasn't even a thing then.....
I would say the story was much better at least with black flag
Assassin's Creed Mirage is literally a mirage of the franchise, you see it from a distance and it looks ok, but get too close and it all falls apart.
Another mediocre game in 2023.... how shocking.
2023 the worst year for gaming ever, so many disappointments
what do you think about the new spider-man game? i haven’t seen you mention any of them in any of your videos, just curious
it took me 32hours to 100% complete the game with all achievments, very short game when im thinking that to do the same in odyssey it took me 210hours
I’m personally think Unity is peak of the franchise
Story was pretty meh but I did enjoy the gameplay
agreed 100%
As much as I said I enjoyed playing this game, I was lying to myself. Probably for nostalgic purpose. I appreciate what Ubisoft did by releasing this game for the old school fans but if I’m being honest with myself, I actually agree with everything you had to say about this game.
just asking did u not get the hidden outfit u need to pickpocket the people to get what u need they have the yellow hand by it on the map
Not that I'm blaming the AC community for why this franchise has fallen off a cliff...the franchise has definitely strayed WAY too far from what it originally was...however, I know there are a lot of AC fans that HATED the present day stuff. But I maintain that the present day stuff was literally the entire purpose of the Animus allowing us to revisit the lives of various people in history. It would provide information to present day characters and inform their decisions to take action going forward. The historical stories were often interesting, but at least to me, they weren't the primary selling point. It was the mystery of the First Civilization, the artifacts of eden, all those things that, if uncovered, would allow present day characters to essentially rule the world due to how much power they wielded. Instead...
They basically wiped out the importance of the present day aspects, minimizing it to just brief strolls around the Abstergo offices for additional lore (don't even know if they still do it, I haven't played since maybe Freedom Cry), meaning the historical aspects have to carry more weight. Add to that the decision to add more and more and more rpg elements just for the sake of padding time, barely any system innovation, and completely losing the look, feel and creativity of the game world in favor of imitating other games.
Doesn't surprise me this game is being panned as terrible.
How can anyone say Mirage is decent when literally everything about the movement and combat feel so clunky, if you showed me the mirage and unity clips without knowing which is which id assume Unity is the newer game
The Ezio trilogy was peak AC time for me . There's enough of that feeling here that I enjoy it. By the way I also enjoyed the pirate game they put out.
I agree somewhat but I think the peak was black flag as I brought a new direction and did I amazingly
AC2 and Brotherhood were peak AC for me. I played through that Rome based game 3x and was in awe the entire time. I won't touch a more modern one. Gaming is dying for people who enjoy gaming.
Whole heartedly agree
I’m glad I’m not the only one with this opinion. I was surprised at all the positive feedback Mirage was getting when I absolutely hated it.
When people said go back to the roots, we didn't mean AC 1, we went AC2 and parts of brotherhood
It's not even close to AC 1 (I love AC 1)
Ubisoft definitely putting those merchant tokens in the store so people don’t have to grind. Typical ubi design
You know what is ironic: I won't bother to play even the pirated version of this game.
We really took for granted the old mechanics of the AC series. At the end of the day, they were at least unique to the AC series, now all we have is a combat system that's just a rip off attempt of Whither 3. The chain kills were easy to pull off but at least it made you fell like a real bad a** when you took out 20 enemies without taking a single hit. It actually made you look like a skilled assassin Also, at least pre-Origins AC gave you distinctive time periods with distinctive cities. Venice, London, Florence, Rome, Paris, Constantinople. All AC Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla had to offer were empty deserts, hills, and fields sprinkled with villages and one boring, almost flat city
Just found your channel and I like the quality of the content. On a sidenote I realized that the teleporting assassin power is almost a straight rip from Shadow of Mordor's abilities.
Yeah but in shadow of Mordor is was 100 times better
Didn’t even know this game existed until right now lmao
that magnet sticking thing is i think ubisoft recent engine because crew motorfest also suffer from same issue when you try to jump a car
I played origins and hated it so much that I never even got info on any other AC game but as someone who loved the Ezio games (and AC4) I'm sitting here wondering why killing someone with the hidden blade, which felt brutal and had some real weight to it, looks like you're stabbing someone with a prick while doing some parkour...like...what? Why are the animations for something like that so fucking off-putting? Man, brings me back to the last two splinter cell games and their stupid "point here and everyone dies woohoo" mechanics.
you do realise that this game didn’t have the same backing nor the necessary amount of time to develop as the others. they were essentially stuck with branching off of valhalla in terms of the story and the engine they used to make the game which is why it feels similar to valhalla. however at the end of the day with the resources they had they made a fun game which while admittedly flawed is still enjoyable just like the older games which have flaws themselves but we are able to look past them because of the memories we had. this game hasn’t been out that long and still has time to be updated and fixed so while you may not get the nostalgia of the old games from this one, give it the benefit of the doubt for closely resembling the genre that we love because the developers seem really passionate and proud of this project and i’d say they’re on the right track to going back to the roots. they can’t start this journey with a perfect game but at the very least this game (for me and for most) was a fun game which is something we all desire at the end of the day. you can’t go into a game expecting it to suck or ready to compare to another game because that just ruins the experience. people play games differently so who am i to judge how others play but i just think that your perspective on the game is very negative and narrow minded.
oh and another point which i really wanna get off my chest. that teleportation thing basim does gets a lot of criticism which i really don’t get. because a) it looks cool as fuck, b) it not being realistic is a dumb argument because the series started with an apple that can control minds (i.e. nothing is realistic in this series it’s fiction you’re telling me an assassin can run around and climb shit for days without sleeping), c) what’s wrong with the game trying to be unique have a mechanic that somewhat distinguishes itself from its predecessors?
This is the most stupidest thing that I ever heard. Why should gamers excuse developer time and budgets? what matters is the end result.
"however at the end of the day with the resources they had they made a fun game which while admittedly flawed is still enjoyable just like the older games which have flaws themselves but we are able to look past them because of the memories we had"
Bullshit, you're coping with nostalgia copium and that's all,
@@juandalinho1363My counterpoint to the teleport thing with Basim is that it feels redundant. You already have overpowered tools like the smokebomb, and in combination with the braindead enemy AI, you're gonna breeze through the game even in hard difficulty. Save for style points, it just feels unnecessary to have it and even using it trivializes some of the actual challenge the game has to offer. That's just the gameplay aspect.
In lore, the devs say that it's because Basim moves so fast that the Animus has difficulty keeping up... which is nothing short of lazy justification. You're telling me the that technology that can track the effects of an ancient piece of technology from a civilization much more advanced in turn can't track the speed of a man that's fast and so glitches out? That sounds lazy. Hell, if the Animus can track the effects of the Apple of Eden, why the hell can't it track Basim's speed? It's just so redundant and lazily justified in lore that it pretty much deserves the criticism it got, especially in the type of game it's in.
Man unity is peak assassin's creed, they've never surpassed it in the entries after unity. Just look at how stylish it is in its parkour and assassinations, the graphics is an icing on top that complete the package. The graphics looks better than all the Assassin's Creed game that comes after it!
How has the writing and voice acting gone so downhill since origins, Valhalla genuinely had some of the most wooden dialogue I’ve ever heard in a game
Not sure I've ever witnessed a franchise die so slowly and painfully
Umm Far Cry.
GTA? V came out in 2013, was pretty lackluster, and was eventually consumed by Online. I doubt VI, if it ever releases, will be any good.
At least it is not rememberable for the wrong reasons like many previous games…
You can search for the shards and get the ancient Isu armour…. So you are wrong on that point about unlockable armour
It is a step in the right direction, but haters gonna hate. You do you
Since when bait-and-switch in entertainment has become normal? Isn't there a law that protects consumers from false advertising and misleading marketing?
you just became my fav yt channel. love the last videos about modern gaming.
I’m not buying this one, but probably not because of what you think. I just hate Bassim. Like just looking at his face during the trailer was too much for me. Everything about this man is despicable. Strange move from Ubisoft.
Ubisoft is done.
At Ubisotf HQ: "Ah, just concoct anything from the available assets. We will be purchased by Microsoft anyway."😮💨😮💨😮💨
So many gear chests and instead of making more outfits for the character they put useless upgradings for the only 7 outfits that exist in the game
This game has the worst features from all the previous games - and implemented badly lol
it doesnt work for me whatsoever. I couldn't bring myself to even finish it
Black Flag was banger
Not at all. The game's opening is literally 4-5 hours of linear exposition dumps and trailing missions. It's awful
@@bbbbbbb51if you played beside the story, it was the best pirate game. It was a banger.
Odyssey was fun af too.
for me was a instant not buy after see the mark and teleport-kill thing , the AI and the parkour
that mark and kill thing killed my interest for the last 2 splinter cells for me
RIP rainbow six that now is a PVP hero shooter , RIP Ghost Recon that now is a generic ultracasual third person shooter and RIP AC for me this franchise ended with Desmond Miles death after that i just enjoyed black flag and rogue the last i purchased was origins and get bored after 12 hours more or less
for me the best ACs are AC2 , Brotherhood , Revelations and Black Flag and the best parkour the parkour of Unity
Everyone talks about $70 games. Now thanks to the exchange rate and this game's price, I finally get a $70 game, and it's glorified DLC. lol
People defending this game feel to me like NPCs
the only thing I can give Ubisoft credit it's the world building but everything else its super superficially flat
Every fking time I've killed the order member it make me think "Is that it?", minimal effort, long set up. Also trying extend the gameplay and just breezing through regardless, everything upgradable is basicaly not necessary at all. Still enjoying this garbage, lovely on the surface and feels nostalgic, that's about it.
Idk, but I felt that Valhalla's free running was super easy to learn. I actually struggled in Unity, and Syndicate was pretty quick to understand.
But personally, anything after 2 can easily be criticize for similar points.
Also, I kinda want to play Mirage after seeing this video.
Yeah ac Unity and Syn were very janky but if you learned how to do it properly it looks stunning
the auto aim also pulls away when trying to throw a knife at their heads, often just alerting an enemy who would've died with a headshot
We want AC to go back to its roots
Ubisoft: say no more we bringing back tailing missions
Man wtf
There are total of three tailing mission INCLUDING contracts. Are you that lazy? Uninterested? Man, why not just go shoot something?
Assassin's Creed: IGN Edition
The greatest complain I have about this game is the lack of feeling any freedom in most of the missions... These aren't Black Box Missions... You had no creative way to solve a case... And that's just boring and annoying...
Well: post origins my top would be Origins, Mirage, Oddysey, Valhalla. Including pre-origins it would be Unity, Origins, Black Flag,II, III, Mirage, Oddysey, Syndicate, Valhalla 😳 it’s not as bad as it could be (In my opinion) it was funny. My criticism is the ending: you have to play Valhalla to really understand
Born too early to explore space with a laser gun. Born too late to join a Phallanx of Spartans. Born just in time to give my alien overlords 80$ CAD to experience it all in a video game though.
and yes the dome of the ass was a thing, people weren't imbeciles then, but fear not ubisoft made sure it popped up on screens to get a chuckle from everyone....
I've only played it for about 9 hours, but I’m really surprised just how average Mirage is. Expected more considering all the delays and pushbacks the game got. It really is just a Valhalla dlc, and I will probably forget all about it in a couple of weeks. They at least should have streamlined the story. It’s so fragmented and uninvolving the way they set it up. A tighter, more focused direction would probably made a small difference. As it is it just feels like more Ubi junk food. Serviceable and functional, but will just be a footnote i gaming history.
Whatever you say about Origins Odyssey and Valhalla but you have to admit Gameplay was better story was great characters were great World Design was great the only problem was its big map and 100+ hours of exploration other than that this triology was great and better than this new sick Mirage game and dont forget Valhalla is still the best selling game of Assassin's creed
their is no inertia and weight in parkour anymore
23:59 give us old mechanics
00:00 NO, WE HATE THOSE MECHANICS WE WANT SOMETHING NEW
At least the game is not odyssey. I personally liked this game and did not like the games after Origins and Origins. In ,y opinion, this game is way to over hated, people should not play the game thinking it is going to be Ac 2 and open their mind to what the game is
The thing is. It is literally back to it's roots being just a homage. See how things are formatted. Everything is copied from the old games with no new elements or improvements of the old stuff. It's is literally the same.
Did i enjoy it more than the last 3 games? Yes absolutely. But if Ubisoft wants their respect back, they should have made it from ground up making a more realistic approach to stealth and smooth out the movements and combat. Add a few new stealth elements that would make it feel fresh and new. Allthough i didn't like the direction they took starting with Origins, they did work on a new type of combat system so they at least tried.
Sorry, i don't agree with what others say about this is what they were able to do in such a short time. Saying that means you accept that Ubisoft are lazy. Take an extra year on the game to polish it, give it better dialogues and story and not rushed out.
Thanks you, finaly someone talking the ral truth and the facts, I hate seeing whas AC has become, I really love unity, AC 2, AC3 and 4, but not this weird bullshit they give as, and to say "back to the roots is such a cheeky thing to say, and a huuuge lie, just so they can sell it not only to the casuels, but also to the veterans and old AC lovers. I really hate it and it frustraits me so much, I think unity was 100% the right direction, but I think we are never getting to see what it could be like.
Nice Viedo, keep it up :)
i've been meaning to buy the first game and try it out for a while now, but on your point about the combat system it did make me question "why is a stealth assassin doing combat?". Or perhaps you're a more regular assassin which would make it fine.
now i'm probably gonna be proven wrong and that's fine, but i think having combat be more similar to Mark of the Ninja would work better if you're meant to be a more stealthy assassin - you can kill enemies in direct combat, but it's a bit harder than stealth is (due to Mark of the Ninja being a stealth game) so you're encouraged to do the stealth (perhaps you could even get a stealth bonus on your XP to further encourage it).
granted, i probably shouldn't have made this comment since i haven't played the games, but stealth games are a great genre with only a handful of good ones so it'd be nice to have another entry into it, ya know?
You can keep living in the past, there are always mods for Unity or Black Flag.
I prefer to relish the present instead of being a traditionalist zealot.
The game is great.
And about the difficulty or auto-aim: ramp it up, turn it off. If you still can't get a challenge, then lay off video games for some time, your life goal isn't being a 1337 gamer.
The assassin tombs, feather collection and tailing missions were some of the most annoying things in the game, most didn't play them, almost no one swooned over it.
Odyssey is one of the best games ever made. But mirage is boring af. Seems like the kind of filler game they do in between far crys, they will do with ac now. The studio behind odyssey is behind the upcoming big game which is back to the rpg style, hopefully its similar to odyssey with a focus on fun gameplay again.
Churning out games every year is killing the games, especially for Ubisoft, they are all getting dull and uninteresting.
You said Ali and I literally didn’t even remember him
Seeing how it's literally a DLC i knew it was doomed 😂 most dlc turned games are. Its a greed factor instead of releasing it as dlc they wanted a full $50 for it
What's ironic is that AC1 was supposed to be a Prince of Persia game. But it become its own thing and gave birth to a series.
Mirage is originally supposed to be a Valhalla DLC, but it became its own thing and well, here we are.
AC Origins was the last good AC game.. especially the hidden ones DLC.
I want the AC where it actually took skill to fully use the parkour system and if you mess up and fall out a building or miss a jump you die you get hurt not magically survive like nothing happened
ubisoft IPs are dying out, namely : splinter cell, watchdogs, far cry, the division and finally ac creed.
how are RPG AC games "Witcher 3 clones" when Witcher 3 does not have generic fetch quests that feel like an MMO?
I really hate myself for preordering, I had to really push myself to finish it at 26 hours
What made you preorder it?
@@bustergundo516 I thought it was a deal that it was 50$ because it was so early. I preordered it the day it went on the xbox store so that was my logic. I wanted to play it regardless but it was a huge waste. Probably the last game I preorder unless it’s the elden ring dlc or sum shit
@@samthomas965150$ for this piece of a turd dlc 😮 my guy cyberpunk phantom liberty is 30$ and has much better story
even with all the problems Unity had, its parkour and combat were my favorite.
I laughed my ass off at "dome of the ass...?" that is probably the best feature in this game. the fact that it has a zone called dome of the ass. 8/10, a flawed mASSsterpiece
I feel you, people are praising the game for slightly resembling the old AC formula but if it can’t then do those things better or even just as good as they did then its still a bad game. Is it better than AC 2 or AC 3 or Black flag? No? Then it wasn’t worth making
i think its time i try unity i have played every other but i skipped it because of the bad rep it had with the glitches but everytime i see game play i am like that looks slick
if Unity was improved, and not abandoned, we would never see mythical trilogy that 3 times worse than Unity.
When it comes to the new combat and parkour system, I think Origins was the only one to nail it while Odyssey, Valhalla, and now Mirage just sorta shit on it. I always have a good time playing Origins while Odyssey and Valhalla feel like a chore or just feel weird in their movement. Odyseey feels like you're sliding around while not actually apart of the ground and Valhalla feels sluggish(I know you're a bulky viking with lots of gear but it still feels off). I personally haven't played Mirage yet, but considering most reviews are saying it's like Valhalla hasn't given me much want to play this.
It’s not really like Valhalla. The combat is probably worse than Valhalla lmao but the parkour, map design, and stealth are better . Probably not worth the 50 dollars tho. Maybe whenever it goes on sale if you like the franchise
@@Bullevue A sale is definitely when i'll pick it up and judge for myself.
Isn't the next main line AC returning to rpg mechanics?
It was suppose to be a dlc and they just released it to try to recoupe some money.
I think if Ubi B, had a bigger budget to created a new engine + had a lil longer to make the game (make story a bit better) could have hit the mark. I like the idea but Valhalla is just holding it back from what it could have been. It’s a good game but being held back and it’s sad ubi is not recognising this cos I really like AC. I enjoy the lore and all the new ideas the add to it however, it’s just sad to see how this franchise has gone downhill. We had something in 2017 but greed just got in the way
The games post-Unity, except for syndicate, aren’t bad, they’re just not AC games.
There’s absolutely no reason why new mechanics aren’t better or equally as good as the old ones. The parkour and assassinations in Unity are so well crafted compared to mirage. This type of thing has become the norm nowadays and the only reason I can explain it is that these new era development teams consist of vastly unskilled/untrained people.
I agree about the combat i encountered i was detected by more then one or two i ran or reloaded my save because the combat was just too long and difficult to mess with. I played every AC game until Odyssey and Valhalla and skipped them. I avoided the combat as much as possible. If i want to avoid combat all together tells you something.
Probably because COMBAT is a last resort and you should focus on stealth instead? I mean isn't it all you whining people wanted? More stealth, less combat? Now is not good enough for you? It was always fight or flight - you either lose your chasers or stand your ground.
@@Keegan8311exactly this. AC is truly about blending in, or running away while do advanced parkour to hide back and blend in. You're not supposed to be fighting at all.
@@Keegan8311 I rather like the stealth hell i replayed it already just adding i do see their point about the combat.
You simply can not make an Assassin's Creed that's as good the old ones, on Valhalla's engine.
