- Thread starter Bandwagon
- Start date
I'm not done with Odyssey yet and have over 80 hours in enjoyment, can't wait for Valhalla too!
Also lmao the salt in the video comments, This isn't an AC Game!
I mean geez there's like 20 ac games to enjoy the old style still, series needed to evolve at some point.

Maaan, I'd kill for one in Japan. Not >Edo, but Meiji or Postwar which would probably make zero sense for an AC game I think... I think Korean history is pretty boring until <annex imo, and would be hard to see in AC; but comfort wimmin and constant occupation.. buutt the Meiji idea could still work in regards to just making it Hong Kong too. I just wanna fuck up some colonizers haha.. or see some of the other wars, like Japan's atrocities.
but u rite, and i don't disagree haha. Japan is just a theme that will print money haha.

Had zero interest in checking out anything "Assassin's Creed" until that Google Stadia precursor came out with Odyssey - Very glad I ended up playing it. Loved it, and dumped nearly 100 hours into it. I generally play a game, beat the mains story line and walk away, but Odyssey really hit it for me.
Full-on, tranny-sized void after what leaked a few days ago, and this looks like it will gladly slide into that void and give us something to really look forward to later this year, post-Cyberpunk. Cinematic trailer was fantastic, and love the Valhalla setting. Props to Ubisoft. Sweet, sweet redemption for them lately.

Exact same, I played the first 3 assassins creed games and just did not care about them past the first hour. They were like the Call of Duty of the RPG world. Play one, you play them all.
Everyone talking about Odyssey especially being "not a true ass creed game" and more an RPG is the reason I even checked it out and I'm glad I did. Yes there is some grind to it to start but I love that shit. I have so much playtime in that game lol

Pretty much agree (although, I would personally go pure historical, rather than bothering with making the gods manifestly real). I really liked the AC games--hell, they're basically the reason I became a giant history nerd--but the whole Assassins-vs-Templars thing (both narratively, and the parkour-and-hidden-blade core gameplay) and the Ancient Aliens elements have thoroughly worn out their welcome for me. Honestly, RDR2 is basically what I wish Ubisoft would replace AC with.
I know brand recognition is important, but at this point, I feel like 'open-world historical title from Ubisoft' likely has as much brand recognition as 'Assassin's Creed'--anyone picking up AC games would probably pick up a non-AC game. It'd be great if Ubisoft would at least experiment with it. They've got like three different teams working on releasing AC titles on a cycle; have one of them take a break and try making a non-AC historical title, and see how it works. Then they could test the waters before going all-in on killing AC. I'd actually had some hope that's what Skull and Bones was going to be before it was revealed to be . . . what it was.

I have no idea what any of the current time nonsense is all about and honestly usually forget it's even a thing.
But keeping it Assassins Creed means you have a good idea what you're getting. A new setting and a few upgrades from the previous game. No reason to change that
