I have a a deep resentment about Revelations because they made the Byzantines the enemy, so incredibly gay

Always be pimpin'. I guess he's wearing a red doublet because they haven't invented the Purple Suit Store yet.

Black Flag was great, genuinely one of the best pirate games ever made. I thought Origins was decent but a lot of people would say it was just mid. Otherwise I wouldn't bother with the rest.

A lot of the games up to Odyssey are actually pretty enjoyable, even if a lot of them have samey feeling gameplay. Origins isn’t bad either being the first in the RPG style ACs. If there are any AC after Brotherhood I could recommend those would be AC3, Black Flag, and Rogue. Odyssey and especially Valhalla aren’t worth evening pirating in my opinion.

Na, purple dye was way, way too expensive back then for anyone save the 1% of the 1%. Even blue tended to be pricey since there's not a whole lot of plants that create blue colors when crushed leaving ground-up lapis lazuli or expensive imported indigo dye as the most common sources.
Red was actually cheap as shit to get your hands on since there's either red berries to crush and extract as a dye base or more commonly iron oxide dust (rust in other words) as a waste byproduct from iron mining and smelting. The infamous British redcoats were only a thing because Oliver Cromwell went with the lowest bidder on his New Model Army's uniforms.
TL;DR: In the 1500's a fancy embroidered outfit but with red dye would be the epitome of nigger rich, but naturally there's no way Ubisoft would know that since they never did any research.

Triple A studio producing a C+ game. I'd be disappointed but it's Ubisoft, painfully normal games are their thing.

I gave up buying video games and I need to be paid at least 130$ to play Ubislop.
Ubisoft been running the preorder/digital deluxe/premium con that I can see them selling "leaked" copies to people while selling an early date package.

Asscreed classic didn't have unnecessary RPG stats to every weapon, or dogshit HP sponge enemies whose sole purpose is to make you grind (or pay microtransactions) and pad out the playtime. Kill redditors.

It was wild to see the reverse when AC1 came out, it was a slop studio (mostly known for tie-in movie games and gimmick games at the time) make a very polished AA game. The quick success was the ruin of the franchise, it should have been a sleeper hit until they got a proper formula one or two games later.

It’s crazy how quickly Ubisoft just took the “if it’s not broke don’t fix it” mentality to the absolute edge and beyond. Then turning AC into fucking Call of Duty and Sports games by thinking we needed yearly releases.

Their management aren't gamers, they have no idea what gamers want.
Their middle management aren't gamers, they're DEI hires, they have no idea what gamers want.
Even their front line management aren't gamers anymore, again, more DEI hires, they have no idea what gamers want.
The entire system breeds a cargo-cult like mentality. "This worked once, it will work again, HIT THE BUTTON, MAEK CONTENT."
The people behind AC:Shadows have no idea how to make a video game. They know how to go through the motions and make an Assassin's Creed game. If you asked them to deviate from the formula they would literally have no idea what the hell to do. They'd default to stealing ideas from a different cargo-cult and hoping that worked. "We added Battle Royal and Base Building to Assassin's Creed: Afghanistan, you'll buy it now, right?"

Looks the same since origin (granted origin was at least decent).

I think this could have worked if they had kept the AC1 formula which was similar to how the new Hitman games are. You're thrown in a level and have to gather intel, the intel gathering was very in your face in AC1 compared to Hitman but it was the same basis. Also AC1 changed a lot if you played HUDless, because then you actually had to use the ubi-towers to orientate yourself and the towers were also placed for good level design rather than to give a quick 5 second panorama of the city with no landmarks. Getting the intel, listening and checking the notes, the maps, even the detective vision made sense when you had to locate a target for intel without a HUD. Having this system where you're in a city and you got targets works fine for episodic releases. But instead they went the same route as other AAA studios of the era and decided a cinematic and story heavy single player would be better than fun gameplay.

Pirate Revelations if you care enough to see the ending of Ezio's story. Pretty much everything after Ezio is a downhill ride.
MAYBE Pirate Black Flag if you want a better pirate game than Skull and Bones but that's about it.
Unity was okay but the story is nothing special. I only liked it because it changed the gameplay in a way that actually made me have to think and use my tools instead of just rushing in and one man army-ing everyone. That's about the only thing Unity has going for it though.
Other than that? Can't recommend anything else.
Honestly it's depressing to me, when I was younger I was REALLY into this series and the lore and shit but Ubisoft just went and ruined all of it. Personally I believe the downfall began when they killed off Desmond in a really retarded way but it never really set in for me until I saw a clip from one of the recent games in a Youtube short. Don't even know which one it was and tbh I don't care but it was one guy fighting what I presumed to be a single enemy for literally like a solid minute or two and it was the most boring and tedious fucking shit I had ever fucking seen and you know what's worse? The clip was sped up even.
That was the moment when it finally sunk in for me.
I played all of them in order up until Black Flag and only played Unity recently after being convinced to by a friend. That's it, haven't touched any of the newer games and have no interest in doing so.

I bet Nobunaga is not going to be a real bad guy and instead be influenced by some ancient alien bullshit which made him do bad shit so Yasuke and Nobunaga can have some bittersweet ending where he feels bad he couldn't save him.

The more recent games are huge, so if you don't mind repetitiveness and diving into the story of a game many, many sequels deep then you might find some value. IE if you don't mind playing a 7/10 if that 7/10 lasts for dozens of hours, these might be the games for you.
