Good call here. Takes place in the Iraq region 1200 years ago (I believe it was part of Persia at that time) and goes back to the basics of the early games in the series. So shorter/smaller game that has denser content, rather than the overlong open world format of the last few. No more having to grind levels to progress. After what a slog Valhalla is, they pretty much had to do this.

I have a couple of friends who fucking love this series, and yet somehow
I still haven't played a single one.

What? Sony/Tencent don't have the power to cancel a From project and force them to make an Elden Ring 2
It's also naive to think if someone bought a majority stake in the company that they'd be hands off and let them do what they want.
Don't think that's ever happened in the history of gaming

You do know Bandai Namco owns the Elden Ring IP right ?
And whatever DLC they come out with for Elden Ring.. but I think that will still be awhile if we see anything on that.

I played the first one, an eternity ago, and only for a few hours, which was fine cause it was a pirated copy because that's so old that was when I was still pirating games a fair amount. I do want to pick the pirate one(the arr ye landluber one, not the download your car one) some day though, heard it's fun cause of the sea shanties and stuff but yeah it's really not an appealing series to me.

Black Flag is an excellent game all by itself. The backstory for all the games is kind of stupid, so you're not missing anything by not playing the others. But Black Flag's story is great, though. Im surprised you havent scooped it up for the handful of dollars it costs.

the Ezio Collection aka all the AC2 games is probably the absolute best followed by AC4 (black flag) then sorta random order of Odyssey, Origins, Syndicate, Valhalla, etc.
if you have Amazon Prime you get a free PC key for AC Origins this month, most of the games at this point have been free somewhere or another. if you are on PC you can just sub to uplay+ for a month and check em all out and play the ones you like the most, they're all reskins of the same basic game kinda.

It's not the price, it's the time and will to play it, while I do buy games "in advance" for when I want to play them, I don't buy everything I have an interest in right away and have had stuff on my wishlist for years just as a reminder if I get bored and looking for something.

I just want an Assassin's Creed Japan.
Assassin's Creed in the Holy Roman Empire and one in 700 Baghdad are also really cool ideas.
I'd like to see all 3 of them.
Instead what we'll get is one normal game and the rest of them dumped into an online Live Service hellscape

Honestly, I just want them to end Assassin's Creed and replace it with historical open-world games that don't feel the need to be linked together. I'm tired of every game being about Assassins fighting Templars, and the gameplay always being based around parkour and stealth kills. I just want to play a knight in a medieval game, or a pirate in a golden age of piracy game, not a dozen flavors of assassin.
Also, going back to putting a little more effort into the historical accuracy side of things. AC was never historically accurate, but you could at least say that an attempt was made. Then you have Valhalla, where the "research" seemed to just entail watching the first couple seasons of Vikings and calling it a day.

Microsoft is buying activision. Microsoft is saying in public they will keep CoD on PlayStation, don’t worry. They’re actually privately offering to keep CoD on PlayStation for only three years. Sony saying this is monopoly behavior.

Well Sony should retaliate by making an FPS that is better than CoD. It can't be fucking hard. CoD fucking sucks. They have 3 years to get to work.
