AC3 actually did wrap up the initial storyline pretty neatly. But instead of running with the plot hook they dropped at the end of AC3 and continued on a bit with Black Flag and Rogue (an evil Precursor who wants to turn mankind into her personal slave species like the good old days resurrecting herself as an AI through the Internet), they've dropped that and gone with some weird plot that's yet another impending natural catastrophe mixed with random Precursor internecine rivalries that have persisted for god knows how long, and apparently the Templars and Assassins are just their pawns in that conflict. Lovely.
it depends on if the devs care, Fallout 76 is still dogshit.
while true, its not like it would have been worth having her get royalties for appearing in four more games at maximum.
Unfortunately, the historical tourism angle is getting less and less attention as the series goes on; even discounting how they changed stuff for the sake of inclusion (literally their words in several Odyssey moments), the major plot points are so far detached from reality even a cursory knowledge of history shatters disbelief.
Literally just change the character's VA, nobody and I do mean nobody, cares about who voices the side characters. I played those games when they were new and didn't even know she was in them.
i'm sure those dumb fucks at ubisoft face scanned her or said they did so they can't even do that. you forgot ubisoft is full of retards
To journos it's not long enough and is 'outdated' I.E. not full of enough lootboxes and Witcherism. To classic fans (the intended audience) it still feels too much like Valhalla to be a worthy AC title.
It was broken and buggy and is in many ways still unplayable, and even then it's still a massive step back from the classic games in terms of world and crowd reactivity (two understated but major selling points of AC-Revelations) as well as introduced the absolutely cancerous Helix system AND the RPG shit everyone hated. A Parisian guard that's level 1 will die to a slight cough but the same exact guy that is level 10 will rape your face till there's nothing left if you aren't appropriately geared. Oh, and it has builds too. In many ways Unity is the same exact shit people hate Origins-Valhalla for, just with an actual parkour system and admittedly good assassination missions.
was bit of a step down from the previous 2 games. had an interesting premise for the gameplay at least. execution of said premise was a bit lackluster tho
Both Skull and Bones and "mystery big game" has been delayed.
I'm betting money that Skull and Bones will be DOA with a dated engine.
Skull & Bones delayed again? I wonder how much money Ubisoft has wasted on this project. After all these years they can't even ship it as a minimum viable product.
Why is the Skull & Bones development such a fucking mess when presumably they can repurpose models, animations, rigging, environments ect from Black Flag?
I will go out on a limb and say that the game lacks any real coherent, long term vision, and reason for the delay is because they realize this and that will not sustain an online game going forward.
Sunk Cost fallacy. They've invested too much to just walk away now.
From what I've heard the Singaporean government has dumped some money into the game. If they lash you for doing shit with gum, can't imagine how badly owing them money is.
