I'm genuinely curious why anyone cares about an Assassin's Creed game in 2024. The series has been absolute dog-water for over a decade and a half. When was the last decent one? "Black Flag"? "Brotherhood"? Sure it's fun to see CHUDs be CHUDs, but I'm really surprised anyone even remotely cares about this series. What even is an Assassin's Creed at this point? They are creatively vapid beyond recognition.

When was the last decent one?

Confusingly it's Unity, the closest the series ever came to delivering on its initial concept, which every other game just ignores.

Literally everyone forgets Syndicate, follow up to unity. I thought it was fantastic.

I remember the part where they make their sockpuppet Marx say that peaceful protest is the only way

I didn't bother cause it looked like they gutted all the fun stuff shrug-outta-hecks

You get a secret train base and get to meet the most libbed up version of Karl Marx. Kinda mid, but having two playable characters with one being more stealthy and the other being a bruiser was cool shrug-outta-hecks

Looks like they're recycling that for Shadow.

I'm totally hyped to buy that game in like 5 years for $10 and play it for like 15 hours

Support developers so they can make more games. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

actually i don't want more ubisoft games in general

[–] MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

So you want to pirate the game and also hope for no more games from the publisher? Why even pirate it in the first place? Y'all hexbear folks are weird.

it's going to exist, i might as well look at it. doesn't mean i want a sex criminal like Yves Guillemot to have more money or breathe free air.
