The only good thing about AC Unity is its lighting system.
Bro, I remember back in 2008 when everyone thought the first Ass Creed was the most boring, repetitive shitty barebones open-world GTA copycat of all time.
Assassin's Creed II was great. Brotherhood was good too, but mainly because it felt like an expansion pack to the second game that somehow got released as a separate game.
I can't remember AssCreed getting the "generic Ubisoft game" label up until the later games and spinoffs using the empty open world and generic action adventure RPG playstyle.
The best parts of Ass Creed for me where the emails you could read in the first two talking about people ripping their eyes out and going insane in the Denver airport after exposure to artifacts. The modern day stuff and some sort of threat. Then it turned into...I don't remember but I want to say ancient aliens? Can someone explain what the fucking lore is at this point?
Nobody ever read that stuff. Playing the Switch port of three I discovered a ton of grammatical errors ("it" instead of "is", etc.) in the in-game glossary and mission descriptions. This was because no-one proofread the final build and other than my own review of it I have literally never seen another person mention it -aka- nobody else bothered reading them.
it had a lot of bugs on release to the point they gave out the DLC plus another game for free to people that brought the game as an apology! plus the controversy over the whole gender thing meant game journalists went after it hard, those hitpieces were right before gamergate too so every game reviewer on youtube giving it shit really led to people thinking the game was shit. its like No Man's Sky, release was so shit but if you picked up the game years later its great.
because it ran like absolute ass, and ubishit in true ubisoft fashion tried to blame everyone but themselves: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/4111...n-s-creed-unity-s-poor-performance/index.html
gee, why would players of an IP that drastically changed formulas be unhappy if the company goes back to the former instead continuing with the latter they enjoy while everyone else left years ago because of it?
And its accurate France representation. So good, Ubisoft gave its Notre Dame assets from Unity to the French government to help rebuild.
Nobody knows. Not even the writers themselves. Originally it was pretty neat but as the overall quality of writers has declined, its cheap gimmicks and telling, not showing, and it still doesn't make any logical sense whatsoever.
They really mean the pre-unity games don't they? Like old AC vs new diablo loot, spongy enemies AC.
I love how they had a coordinated push based on a false pre-tense. They all decided this was the time to harp on about it and ever since every single game has wasted countless hours and dollars making it so you can always pick between male and female.
So basically I should expect anything that gamers say suck ass to be beloved within 3 to 5 years.
Well it was the framing device that linked the games, though it was clear they hadn't planned it out at all and just came up with a new cliffhanger each time to end on. The end of 2 gave hints at a genuinely interesting story but without even checking I bet the writers changed after.
Yeah, all of the writers left over the course of the AC2 spinoffs, the AC3 team "wrapped it up" and I haven't played beyond that point but its clear that whatever ending was planned did not happen and will never happen.
Which also explains the nonsense and confusion AssCreed offered throughout the years
