I'm looking forward to February, not as a purchaser of Assassin's creed niggerai, but as someone who desires to see the smoke of its burning. And to bring the Kosher-historian Thomas Lockley back into the spotlight, as his self-sourced/edited "niggers were the REAL samurai" fanfiction pages are still up as historical fact on kikepedia despite the debunking by >Japanese historians< earlier this year. Netflix used Lockley's fanfiction as direct gospel for their current wannabe animu.
you don't hate kike media enough.webp

It's amazing what controlling the content and creating the context has afforded the semitic racial-propagandists. Those poor korean animators..
 
Now finished AC Valhalla's story and dlc. Not a single reference to NIGGA IN JAPAN, but Basim does say that Miles whatever guy (haven't played non-mythology AC other than Syndicate) will have something of an experience, so chances are we won't be Basim using the Animus but that white grandpa guy going in Japan.

Which is great. I played Mirage before Valhalla, so I grew quite fond of Basim, only for him to emerge into the real life of Valhalla as a know-it-all cunt fuck, completely ruining the sensible and logical guy vibes he had in Mirage. Not gonna lie, probably gonna preorder Shadows simply for the sake of my AC collection and it looking pretty neat all things considered. Not an AC game, not a stealth game, but as generic predictable RPG slop it'll be aight.

Hope I can main the girl and stash the nigger away. Something funny about him being brute strength and combat when neither of those concepts are in the AC spirit. I'll probably jump into unity or black flag now, but I fear the dated design will wear on me, which is half the reason I'll get Shadows. Simply just because it's a modern dodge-aholic game. One funny thing I've noticed playing "CLASSIC AC" Mirage was how fucking annoying it was. There was a tie-in quest in Valhalla that tried to stage a typical AC takedown with exploration and such, and it was fucking annoying. I wanna run in, blow up, get my collectibles and get out. Spending 30 mins to make the target appear is great, just not done in a very interesting way in most of Mirage.
 
10 mins into Unity and already enchanted by how the controls are both clunky and awkward but also intensely agile. Sure Mr Frenchman may leap unrealistic paces between buildings but they aren't enormous undertakings to scale like in Valhalla. Heavy viking etc etc sure, but man does it feel good to be an agile.. assassin. I'm not a big fan of the chapter mission type of gameplay though, and why Brotherhood initially didn't sit well with me. It's a very odd blend of missions and open world, the old ACs.

Anyone fiddled with that AC Rebellion mobile game? Seems pretty aight for a Shelter clone but I generally hate playing games on phones.
 
apparently ubisoft updated origins (to fix the win11 issue I think) - and of course fucked it up even harder :story:
 
Any suggestions?
Either commit all the way to being a warrior or an assassin and turn the level scaling down as much as possible. Odyssey is gay as fuck for not letting you turn it off completely, but you'll save yourself a headache now and again when enemies fall a few levels behind you and don't take as long to kill.

Odyssey has a running theme where the pragmatic solution tends to be the overall best, so don't be afraid to be a bit of an asshole if it feels like it would be the right choice.

The war is only a backdrop and can't be meaningfully influenced at all. I wanted Alexios to be very anti-spartan on account of his upbringing and because Sparta is a gay and dumb society but it didn't really let me commit that much.

The split protagonist is fucking retarded anyway. Why would I want my character's utility cut in half? Why would I ever want to explore as the nigger with his mobility options being kneecapped? Why would I ever want to fight as the ninja bitch if she does a fraction of the damage?

Again, ghost already solved this. You can switch between ninja kit and samurai kit on the fly. I don't want to sit through a loading screen every time I want to switch up my play style.

Odyssey is truly dogshit for this. You'll go up one level and you'll go from being able to assassinate dudes to having to go into melee and hit them for like 1% of their hp per strike and wail on them for a minute. It's the absolute worst case scenario for "RPG elements" and level scaling in a game. Good thing the game has an upgrade system for your gear so you can keep up, right? Oh wait it's so expensive you'll run out of resources(which you also need for your ship) instantly. Oh how convenient that you can just buy more in the cash shop!
I'm not a huge Origins fan but it's amazing how Ubisoft managed to learn all the wrong lessons from it and make the sequel so much worse.
 
Ever since ubisoft got called out for their racist shit and being a dick to japan history (One legged torii gate etc). They have new gameplay video out that only focusing on Naoe. Also all of their tweet that advertise the game are only Naoe now, never their legendary greatest samurai YASUKE!.. i wonder why.

As someone who played the 3 mythology games before trying my hand at Unity, and having my face blown off with how fast, agile and.. assassin-esque it is, this looks good. I'm so tired of Eivor being a slow piece of shit and every time I need to scale something, it's a chore. I actually enjoy it in Unity in comparison. This looks good, if you disregard everything else about the game. "Uhh hook points will be pre-designed and not an organic system" yeah so what, every game is like that at this point. Even double-assassination opportunities are very clearly designed to be there, you're not breaking the mold or anything.

I've 100%'d all territories in Valhalla now and I swear it's the same 3 entrance points to all the cities. Once you've done a few of them, you can tell the next apart instantly, and the few times you can't, it bugs me. There's no way to be innovative about literally 800 buildings you need to break into, so I'm fine with it being modular copy-paste type shit. I doubt I'll preorder the game after all, only because so many other games are dropping in february, but I hope it'll become a fast -50% on Steam and I can pick it up without breaking my habit of spending very little on games.

That aside: I'm actually excited to get into Unity but I need to complete the roguelite bullshit dlc in Valhalla for my 100%.

It's amazing that the mythology series made almost every surface scalable, but also cumbersome. Truly a feat, of sorts.
 
It can't be for QA reasons, since ubishit has no quality control whatsoever, so what else could cause it? Too many competing titles releasing in nigger month? Voice actors' strike? Couldn't completely remove the nigger from the game?
The game is fucked no matter what they do.

At least now they can't use the optics of nigger history month to try to promote the game anymore.

At least three major titles in Feb (Avowedm Monster Hunter Wilds, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 ) along with the optics in the US on how bad it would lookd. The lanuage in other press release make it look like the company is getting ready to get bought out so maybe waiting a bit more to see how that goes. AC:Shadow is Ubisoft last big chance.

Probably trying to get as many preorders as possible to avoid DA: Veilguard's and Outlaws' fate. They originally wanted a traditional November release because that's when AAA games make the best sales historically but sales were low. They hoped that moving it to February would mean no competition, but along comes the PC release of FFVII Rebirth, Kingdom Come 2, and Monster Hunter to curb stomp them in preorders. No sales again.

They're just delaying, hoping to keep the company afloat at this point. Like a high-schooler doing everything to avoid coming home to show his parents his failing grades.
