Ever AC since black flag was terrible in my opinion, with the exception of Valhalla, which was a shit AC, but a damn fun brawler. So I don't put a lot of faith into this one.
Valhalla was shit too. Raiding a place? Couldn't even kill innocents. Didn't they do any research into vikings? They struck gold with black flag, the rest was all shit and massive bug simulators.
Valhalla combat was very fun. Raiding a place with your viking troop did feel really good.
Such a basic ass response and let's be honest, black flag? It's not that great, it was just a cool pirate fantasy, shite AC game. AC origins, mirage and unity were infinitely better than black flag as ac games
Ah yes, Unity, the one which was literally unplayable due to all the bugs. I received a free Far Cry game because they were so sorry it was so shit. Origins was ok, except for the bugs, but missed the ships aspect which black flag had and riding through the desert took waaaay to long. Travel times increased with the bigger maps but not the content value. They just add more collectibles, making the games terribly tedious.
Yeah bud, you just wanted a pirate game, you don't know what assassin's creed even is, granted the Devs don't either half the time, but I doubt you do. Played every single one since the beginning of the franchise and ac4 was a fun pirate game, not a good AC game, unity and origins are decent to great AC games because they embody what it is. Sure there WERE bugs at launch which has nothing to do with the argument whatsoever of what makes a good AC game. You ac4 and Valhalla dorks are what's enshitifying the franchise
I'm not into pirates, Black Flag was structurally a proper and balanced game. I have played every AC game up to Valhalla, after that I wa done with the crappy gameplay. Sure, I might not understand the game, even though I played it since the beginning and loved the out of animus story next to the in animus stories (with black flag being the last good one, with 3 being shit as well), I may not understand any game at all, I've only have over 700 games in my steam library not counting all the other launchers.
At least you're happy with poorly developed money grab games with endless collectibles and massive maps with barily any proper content other then copy paste grinding spots. I expect more from devs and in the past 10 years, if nog more, only Larian Studios truly delivered when it comes to triple A games.
If this is the case your opinion just is stupid full stop. Black flags isn't a proper and balanced game and you sure we hell haven't played all the assassin's creed let alone had a clue what's going on. I don't need to change your opinion, just that opinion is about the game that literally started the enshitifying of assassin creed. Ac3 was the last technical proper ac storyline game and black flag was a fun pirate game with an ac sticker on it
You just won the troll awards, congrats
Oh yeah, should've said that. AC wasn't a good AC, but a great game, unlike everything that followed it except valhalla.
