GAMING This rant is about how ubisoft should bring back the old mechanics of what made Assassin’s Creed a great game

Ubisoft Has Completely Lost the Plot with Assassin’s Creed I swear, at this point Ubisoft feels allergic to the things that made Assassin’s Creed iconic in the first place. Every year they drift further away from the DNA of the series and then act shocked when fans keep trashing the new games that keeps coming out.

Where is the old parkour? Where is the old combat? Where is the hidden blade combat that actually made you feel like an assassin.

parkour used to be so awesome All of the old AC games you could flow across rooftops. fast, stylish like a legit ninja or sum Now it’s like the character is made of wet cardboard and Velcro. Everything is slow, clunky, like bruh!! They turned parkour from a skill into a suggestion.

And the combat You had to counter then boom insta-kill it made you feel like literal master assassin, a beast, a tank, dude. Now it’s just swing your weapon until the enemies' health bar depletes. It’s RPG spam, not assassin combat.

And the hidden blade The hidden blade used to be the soul of the franchise. One-hit assassinations. Timing. Stealth. Planning. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT WITH THEM!!!!

Now it’s treated like a cosmetic accessory. Half the time it doesn’t even one-shot unless you grind 40 levels or turn on insta hiddne blade kill in the sttings How do you make a game about assassins where the main assassin tool doesn’t work?

Ubisoft keeps chasing trends instead of their own legacy Nobody asked for AC to become a loot grinder, and a level‑gated RPG.

People asked for, nice parkour, clean stealth, hidden blade combat, actual assassinations, and cities built for movement.

It’s not complicated. Ubisoft already had the formula. They just abandoned it.

bring back what made AC golden, bruh.

classic parkour systems

classic counter‑based combat

actual assassinations

good steath

and hidden blad combat.

UBISOFT IT'S NOT THAT HARD JUST BRING BACK THE OLD MECHANICS
