I am very much in agreement that Prince of Persia is great but Ass Creed had it's place as well. The franchise just totally lost all semblance of identity when it became Ubisoft's CoD.

Unity kind of had the right idea of steering the games back towards sandbox assassination scenarios but that game floundered for mostly justified reasons. Origins introducing a bunch of RPG elements was a good refresher for the franchise and had an absolutely kino setting and was genuinely not that bad of a game, but Viking Larp and Odyssey annihilated any chance the franchise had of returning to being simple neck stab simulators.

The RPG bullshit got its start in Unity, was more fleshed out in Syndicate, and became full on JRPG shit in Origins.

And yeah I think the biggest reason I slogged through Origins was the setting, just fucking about ancient Egypt, climbing pyramids and exploring tombs was cool as fuck.

post origins is just peak ubisoft
- milk the franchise so hard with more-of-the-same and inflationary releases that you have to take a break
- successfully reboot and refresh the formula with origins
- start milking the franchise again with more-of-the-same (even worse and more annoying this time) and shit out as many releases as during the time people really got sick of it

it's also most likely desperation since there aren't that many franchises left for ubisoft to milk, and most of their recent games have been bombs (same reason they went big trying to milk division).
problem is the same speds that fucked all the recent releases so far won't suddenly be doing 10/10 work just because it's the asscreed brand, see mirage and injecting their retarded wokeshit in one of the most requested settings.

Origins lost me with the absolutely garbage combat and stealth mechanics and the story was honestly kind of shit, especially towards the end. The RPG elements were just the shit cherry on top, Unity maxed out my tolerance for that shit.

The decision of making AssCreed a sudden RPG game still makes me hate the franchise a lot more
 
It was funny how the big complaint I remember of Black Flag was just how fucking easy it was to kill enemies, and seemingly over the course of like 2 or 3 games Ubisoft thought the answer was bullshit RPG mechanics.

Same thing happened with Far Cry and it fucking boggles my mind.

Am I misremembering or wasn't all of the animus shit kept pretty under wraps leading up to the release of Assassins Creed 1? I kind of recall being excited for it, and then finding out that there was some modern day story and it immediately killed my buzz for the game right around release.
 
How come I can't play any of their older games on Steam without downloading their piece of shit Ubisoft launcher?

I would give you money, why do you not want money? It's not like you're doing so hot.

fwiw they're usually cheaper buying on uplay directly, and you don't even have to open steam for it.

I like the combat in Black Flag. It makes sense that the character knows how to use a sword or flintlock pistols, he's a fucking pirate captain lol. AC Origins was the wrong direction for the franchise.

They had the DNA shimmer going on in the trailers from the start, but didn't talk about that aspect of the story at all.
 
The only thing people cared about the first Ass Creed before its release was the model Ubisoft hired to pretend to be one of the devs. Biggest coomer-bait of all time.

Jade Raymond is one of the most astroturfed producers in vidya. She went to EA, got her own studio, no game were made. Same thing when she joined Google Stadia.
Patrice Désilets was the real brain behind Assassin's Creed.

And I've always wondered, has Jade done anything that's completely memorable outside of her work in AssCreed?
