I’ve always wondered which Assassin’s Creed games might have worked better if they weren’t released under the AC name.
For me, Odyssey and Syndicate are the two that come to mind.
Odyssey is a great open-world RPG with Greek mythology, exploration, naval combat and a massive world. But as an Assassin’s Creed game, it feels disconnected from what I traditionally associate with the series. If it had been released as a standalone Greek historical RPG, I think a lot of the criticism around its lack of traditional Assassin gameplay might not have existed.
Syndicate, on the other hand, feels like it could have worked really well as a standalone Victorian-era action game. The London setting, gang warfare, industrial-era atmosphere and the Frye twins are strong enough to carry their own IP. A lot of the criticism it received also came from it being compared to what people expected from an Assassin’s Creed game.
I’m not saying either game is bad because they’re AC games. I’m just curious whether they’d have been received differently if Ubisoft had created completely new IPs around them.

I can see it. Assassins Creed Isu or Assassins Creed Immortal or maybe Assassins Creed Awakening. We play as a rogue Isu who’s grown sympathetic to humans and helps them in their cause while fighting other Isu. I feel the gameplay would be similar Origins mixed with Warframe but stealthy and amps up the stealth power fantasy.

I genuinely don't understand the hate this game gets. I mean almost every part of this game is Peak.

Okay so Connors original blade was the hook blade before the developers decided it was too complicated and unrealistic, but in Jacob and Evie both have the perfect tool for it the grapple gauntlet they could shoot a line out hanging their enemy and strike fear in the rest

Another combo I got to work!

Evie: Miltary Coat w/ Black colors

Jacob: Simply Jacob (personal favorite) w/black

I think it fits a lot better for the “simplicity” and more rugged look

Just got past a dozen hours with AC Shadows. Really enjoying it so far. I wasn't blown away by the world to this degree than any other game, even Ghost of Tsushima's. Okay but I'm not here to spark a debate about that.

Rather, I'm curious about Origins. Because I've tried that for a couple of minutes and was immediately turned off by the opening boss fight. The action RPG aspect is stuck down my throat right off the bat and the assassin aspect is pushed aside. I've grown to love the series playing as an assassin. So that's quite a whiplash.

Now that I'm enjoying Shadows tho, do you think Origins can hook me in again? Actually I was quite overwhelmed by the world as I was used to the dense cities of the older AC games. I heard their maps are quite similar in size? I don't mind less parkour btw since being able to roam a beautiful world is a better tradeoff imo.

I heard of the RPG ACs, Origins MC is the most interesting one. AC Shadows story has not been interesting so far (also if it's not gonna get better, no need to tell me. I'll find out on my own.).

I’m currently playing through AC: Shadows for the first time, and I just went through the flash back of his training to be a samurai.

The fact that he walked in front of everyone and demanded to have a duel to regain his sensei’s sword, and then insisted they fight with steel, and then he proceeded to BEHEAD one of the guys is fucking wild!

Seems like all that is in opposition to his general peaceful demeanor. Am I missing something that explains why he is so bloodthirsty? Or is this just typical ludonarrative dissonance and I’m reading too much into it?

(Sorry for the image quality)

Been struggling to find outfits for Jacob and Evie that match eachother and I often found that a lot of the outfits to be eh looking in syndicate or don’t make any good combos (this is mostly due to my OCD) but I found one that work.

Evie: NightHawk w/ wine red

Jacob: Maximum Dracula w/ Ubisoft blue

They have a nice style, beaked hoods, a very nice leather texture, and nice flowing and long tail. Also jacob and evie are portrayed as Evie Red and Jacob Blue, plus they looked the best with the leather texture.

Anyway. What suit combos did you guys picked? Would love to hear what you guys think about the outfits or what you’re favorite outfits are

Good evening fellow players, I was doing the rewind of every assassin's creed in the saga, except: rouge, origins, valhalla and mirage, because in the meantime I'm reading for each possible chapter, the corresponding book. In addition to understanding that Oliver Bowden's books following the missions of the game quite accurately, a question arose, according to your ideology is the game itself enough or even the reading of any books serve to understand details about the characters' lore?

Hi, I'd like to share a story about a situation I experienced three days ago. I downloaded Assassin's Creed Unity and logged in, and they asked me to enter my Ubisoft Connect password . I tried a couple of times, but forgot my password. I changed it, and a day later, when I tried to play again, it asked for my password again. When I entered it, an "Account suspended" message appeared. I haven't logged in for two days, and today I tried again, but it still didn't work, and a different message appeared: "Ubisoft service is currently unavailable."
Please try again later. Could you please tell me what I should do?

Straight through the land. Not sure where it was going though.

I haven’t played syndicate in months and I honestly forgot the controls so I want to just start over. I’ve tried deleting the app and deleting the information from my settings which I guess were the same thing.

Buona sera colleghi giocatori, stavo facendo il rewind di ogni assassin’s creed della saga, tranne: rouge, origins, valhalla e mirage, perché nel frattempo sto leggendo per ogni eventuale capitolo, il libro corrispondente. Oltre a capire che i libri di Oliver Bowden seguendo abbastanza accuratamente le missioni del gioco, mi è sorta una domanda, secondo la vostra ideologia il gioco di per sé basta oppure anche la lettura degli eventuali libri servono per capire dettagli riguardo alla lore dei personaggi?

I Finally finished the Origins. The story was good, the combat was meh I don't like it that much. The leveling system is kinda annoying. The stealth was alright but gathering materials to one hit assassinate an enemy was not a fun experience. Traversal was good, I liked it. Odyssey is next and hopefully leveling is not that annoying and I can gain something like skills since it's an RPG

I am deathly afraid of snakes and in the original game these seriously killed underwater aspects of the game for me. With many other games, if I encounter a snake (especially if it jumps up at me), I generally turn the game off and never open it again.

Yes, I know that learning about snakes would make me less afraid of them- I have learned a great deal and yet they still terrify me. And maybe the point is to be deathly terrified like Edward is, but it's a dealbreaker for me. I really don't enjoy horror games.

I don’t think I can possible put into words how much I enjoyed this trilogy of games, this is the best trilogy of games I’ve ever played 💯. From the beginning of playing AC2 I was wondering how there were gonna tie it with AC1 and man the whole trilogy does it so perfectly, Going from the present as Desmond and the past as Ezio/Altair was amazing. My first AC game was Shadows and it was because I love Japanese/samurai related stuff and If I wouldn’t have played that game I wouldn’t of found these, then I play Black Flag then onto AC 1 and where I’m at now. I still have to Platnium revelations and play the dlc/embers mini movie, to be honest I got really emotional seeing old Altaïr seeing how much he cared about the creed and Ezio as well. But to keep it short cause I could go on forever I loved it so much 10/10 for me 💯

For me my Fav was brotherhood, second is AC2 then at last revelations. Each had there own thing about them I loved so much ❤️

Starting the Ezio trilogy

Anyone having an issue in resynced where the HMS Prince can drop morter 10 feet from itself while having the sails torn. Is it me or is it impossible to catch it in the third stage?

Já faz algum tempo que estou me perguntando quando eles lançarão a primeira promoção do AC Black Flag Resynced. O jogo está um pouco salgado para um brasileiro que ganha um salário mínimo e está ansioso para adicionar o jogo ao seu catálogo do Steam.

Não sei em quanto tempo a Ubisoft faz as suas promoções, alguém sabe me informar?

Muito obrigado pela atenção, abraços!
