The worst part is that all of the "Witcher-Creeds" happened BEFORE AC1.

Will they ever return to the classic formula?

i don't remember the game being extra stealthy or anything, to be honest i don't remember any assassins creed at all except for the one in L O N D O N cause the car is made out of horses.

Why is there so much devaition toward the distinctive characteristics of video game franchises? It's an insult.

>assassin's creed without stealth
So just a watered down onions of war, then?

Pitch your ideas for the next game now that ubisoft is under new management and they've finished this trilogy bros

>Valhalla doesn't give a damn about stealth, thank goodness.
damn

AssCreed was never a stealth game serie retard.

I mean do you even play as an Assassin in Valhalla? In the other nu-AC games Bayek doesnt create the order until the end of Origins and Alexios/Kassandra were mercenaries.

Oh, sorry, haven't you heard?
Splinter Cell is dead.

>>game sells 10,000 copies, makes 1 million dollars
>>hey nice but i wanna make a billion dollars
>>okay then you have to appeal to 10 million gamers not 10,000
>>okay well what do gamers like
>>fucking hitting x and seeing really cool explosions and shit
>>alright make it happen

Its pretty simple user. Games are made to sell, not have soul.

Classic Ass Creed set in Japan would be renaissance for series just like Black Flag

devs are adapting their games for the current youth's interests, which are constant action and instant gratification

The stealth in Asscreed was always shit anyway.

What's the point of this game being called Assassin's Creed then? Just name it Valhalla: Genderfluid Warriors n shit

Do you work for PC gamer? What other reason would there be to post this here, such blatant obvious clickbait articles.

you're thinking like a human being not an ass faggot marketing machine, user.
the ass creed title is a guarantee that a million bearded fucklets will buy it because they know the name.
ass creed literally means "you can climb all the buildings" and beyond that they could sell steaming garbage with the title.

Just play Ghost of Sashimi

Pandaemonium-Chan’s sister?

AV valhalla brought back one-hit assasinations and social stealth (blending in crowds, with monks, on benches, etc) and actually expanded it even more because you can use your cloak to sneak around and you can essentially copy any task an NPC is doing to blend in (drink at bar, work forge, paint pottery, etc)

But Zig Forums doesn't play games so they wouldn't know beyond the clickbait article screencaps

The biggest downfall to these games is forcing themselves to wear the assassins creed name, and that combined with Ubisoft’s garbage development leaves me with a terrifying truth: after all of its patches AC Unity is the best game in the series that was never released on last-gen consoles

Ugh, this is so, like, gamey. Yuck.

>thank goodness

I miss the in-depth infiltration and assassination missions from 1 and 2

Uh lmao what's with all the gay flips just run up and kill them

The Vikings were never a part of the Assassin Order though. They're basically just allies with a common goal.

1920s Berlin ala Unity

The new one is literally the first game in years to have actual assassin's and stealth blending in it , people only assume it doesn't because they see vikings on the box.

>and thats a good thing
>here is why
>thank goodness
>and thats everything

Looking at Ezio be so acrobatic while clad in full armor made me think, what if the game had a weight system? The better the armor the less agile you are. You'll still be able to parkiur as it's an essential method of travel, but not as fast or fancy.

Only been to the Norway part in Valhalla. Fuck, it's actually boring. Atleast Odyssey's starting area was more interesting and the story was just handled better for that part.
This shit feels lackluster for the moment. Hopefully it gets better in England

Do people still pretend this is still Assassin's Creed?

You can do this in valhalla down to the jumping off of a horse to parkour on roman ruins. Well maybe not the backflip animation but everything else is there.

>thank goodness
??? Am I the only one that's legitimately shocked by that statement from a game reviewer reviewing a game in the stealth genre? Maybe I'm just not used to articles like this since I stopped reading any mainstream gaming news back in 2012

>game about assassins
>nothing even related to assassin behavior

>in-depth
Lmfao.

When the fuck was AC ever a silent stealth game? Even in the first one, you were god damn Conan at the end slaughtering 100s of soldiers with the "parry kill" mechanics. Same in 2, when you go and beat up pope. Same in all other games.

The most beloved sequel in the series besides 2 is Black Flag, and that game is nothing but ship battles and retarded tailing missions.

>it doesn't need to not have bugs
>it doesn't need to have stealth
>it doesn't need to not have trannys

Damn, I forgot about the dozens of hours I put into Brotherhood just parkouring and killing

You get your hidden blade shortly before leaving and then when you go to England you begin to start utilizing stealth to sneak among the saxon cities.

AC is just generic WRPG games at this point but tacked on to the AC franchise because they will sell better than a new IP.

>I do not need to learn English.

Well I have no way to verify if it’s good or not, but since the game hasn’t been out long enough for a general consensus on its quality to come out, I’ll exclude it from my blanket statement. Still depressing that it took them this long to trump the most hated game in the series.

Just give me cities and stabbing, and so help you god if there's even a 100m stretch without a building

Gaming journalists don't want to actually enjoy genres they don't typically play, they just want them to conform to what THEY like. It's why you'll see so many fucking brainlet takes on certain games.

It forced you not to waltz in through the front gates and solo all the guards like the latest games

They required more stealth because Altair actually wasn't that strong

It's not as as deep as unity but the basics are there unlike Odyssey where you played as warrior McHercules

>ASSASINS creed
>no long about being an assasin
lol

>"Thank goodness this franchise that became popular because of its cool cloak aesthetic and the parkour stealth got rid of its cool cloak aesthetic and parkour stealth."
Every fucking franchise. What is the obsession with completely rebranding a franchise into the completely opposite idea that made it successful in the first place?

>constant action and instant gratification

This is literally the addendum for every fucking generation. History is the same thing.

In Valhalla you literally sneak through saxon city gates with monks and go without weapons rather defenselessly to assassinate a certain character (spoilers)

Bullshit. As soon as you unlocked the parry (and it was fast) you can literally just wait for an attack (only 1 enemy attacks at the time) -> parry (the window is super long) -> one hit kill. It was incredibly boring and it was the shittiest, easiest combat system in the series.
