/v/ - Video Games

The only AssCreed games worth playing are 2, Brotherhood, Rogue, and 4. That is it. Everything else can safely be ignored.

It's kinda cool to explore the rooftops of the cities, but other than that it has all the problems every other open world game has. It's basically a linear game in disguise. Empty as fuck and the only thing to really do is look for secrets. The shop doesn't matter. The city management doesn't have any depth. The only thing there is to do is go from mission to mission.

If you enjoy mindlessly running around killing hoards of enemies effortlessly then you'll enjoy it like every other assassin creed game

JUST PLAY PRINCE OF PERSIA

>>14092603

is the first one trash too?

>>14092620

ill think about it

>>14092621

The first one was dated by the time 2 came out. It's the same three missions repeated over the span of 8 some aught hours. The only fun to be had in that game, was the end battle.

>>14092611

can you explain what makes it bad/good? maybe we have different tastes anon

>>14092633

I just explained to you why it's bad >>14092607

>>14092637

welp if theyre bad, do you have recommendations for other action-adventure games available on steam? not necessarily zelda-clones, but those would be appreciated.

>Is it actually bad gameplay wise

Yes. Absolutely. The first game was effectively a tech demo, it featured a single mission but expected you to play it eight fucking times over; You basically went into a new city, did the pickpocket or interrogation mini game to unlock the assassination contract, and then you get to kill the target after the game shows you how abhorrent they are. ACII was a vast improvement as far as sequels go. It introduced a number of new mechanics and extra content, however it wasn't without its problems. The combat, while better than the first game's, was incredibly easy, and this appears to have set a precedent for the series as a whole. Brotherhood was the highlight of Ezio's games, it had a more focused approach to the whole open world thing, but it introduced the "climb the tower and liberate this region of the map" style of design that has spread throughout other Ubisoft games like a cancer. II and Brotherhood still had actual puzzles in them and worthwhile side missions. I especially liked how the assassination contracts corresponded to playable characters in the multiplayer. If I'm not mistaken, you had to kill them in singleplayer to unlock them in the multiplayer, which is a nice touch.

To get to the point, these games are not very challenging. They're story driven shlock that use horrible gameplay to simply give the player something to do between cutscenes. The combat is devoid of any challenge whatsoever, the freerunning is fun but isn't ever truly utilized to its potential beyond a few sequences in which you must chase a target, and even then those are heavily scripted so you might as well be running against a timer, and the stealth is practically non-existent. The whole "social stealth" bullshit is a garbage system that is not fun to use. The puzzles and the tombs were the only fun parts about the game, but those are all gone now.

Black Flag.

>>14092707

fine, pc then

better?

>>14092801

just fuck off nigger.

>>>/reddit/

>>14092816

so thats a no?

listen if discussing video games on a video game imageboard upsets you so just let us know.

Every single Asscreed game is garbage, OP.

You're welcome and fuck off

I don't care what /v/ says I immensely enjoyed the Ezio trilogy, wish they brought the hd collection to PC the textures minus the faces look really good. I really felt for Ezio in brotherhood, he's aged and when you jump from a high height, he grunts and you can really feel he's in pain, oddly enough, revelations he doesn't grunt and give off as much pain. Ezio… Had a hard life…

>Is it actually bad gameplay wise

It is. The problem with all those Ubishit studios working on AssCreed is that you have to re-learn how to play because the game mecanics change with each game.

AssCreed II is still the best one because it was the last time that they cared about history, the architecture and the setting.

>>14092603

I'd recommend pirating Unity just for that amazing map.

>Not the first one with the tight mechanics around and no bullshit plus the great atmosphere

Dubs

the one with the boat is the only one I enjoyed, and I only played like 30% of it

AC is largely a garbage series

>>14093386

so while we're here, can you recommend any really good action-adventure series? I mean along the lines of Zelda, preferably, although I'm open to anything.

>>14095230

It could be worse Anon. PoP could be the one shat out every half year.

>The problem with all those Ubishit studios working on AssCreed is that you have to re-learn how to play because the game mecanics change with each game

That isn't the case at all.

The gameplay barely changed until the recent Asscreed KANGZ. The real problem is that the gameplay is all filler. None of the "tools" are required to finish the game, the difficulty is borderline braindead and the games are peppered with facebook tier minigames instead of actual mechanical depth.

>>14095262

It probably is for the better.

Wouldn't really know where to go from two thrones anyway.

>>14092603

I thought 3 was pretty good because I liked walking through the forests.

black flag because its mostly a piracy game that happens to have some assassin shit in it

>>14095331

It's pretty good for 3/4 of the game then Ubishit remembered that they were making an AssCreed game so they shoved all that dumb meta story into the last act.

Let's hope that Skull & Bones isn't just a copy/paste of For Honor with the naval sections of Black Flag.

>a-all the games are in a memory simulation, dear customer!

>>14095375

>Revelations had good soundtrack.

It was the worst. They had 2 composers: Jesper Kyd and one of Zimmer's ghost-composers, each had his own style, they've never talked to each other. The result is a mess, you have Kyd's electronic style on one side and the "generic epic blockbuster music" on the other. The last time I heard the same "noise" was on Mass Effect 3 (4 composers, one of them only made a theme).

>>14095403

out of the three it's also my least favorite, but I'd say it's still good. I might turn my favorite tracks to webm's later. Anyway, I liked the main title of revelations, "The Crossroads of the World" was okay too, that short "The Hidden City" piece was cool too. The multiplayer part has some decent tracks too. I definitively wouldn't call it bad, but yes it's the worst out of those three.

>>14095397

>>14095375

AC Brotherhood's multiplayer was legit fun, I had a ball playing it back when it came out.

>>14095422

I have a feeling that Jesper Kyd's work on Darksiders 2 was mostly AC Revelations tracks rejected by Ubisoft.

>>14095433

>I had a ball playing it back when it came out.

I had a lot of fun playing it too, but it started to suck once people figured the glitches and exploits out. I loved playing mind games and tricking my pursuer, but once you join a server where everyone camps on top of a roof it starts sucking dick.

>>14092575

Its gameplay is repetitive and boring

>>14095336

thats part of the game silly

You played one you played them all.

The only time ass creed was passable was 4. The rest are unbelievably bad.

The first one was the best.

They went to shit the second they went with the stupid sci-fi-story though.

>>14092575

>why is it AC2

Because they actually listened to critics of the first AC and improved the game.

>Is it actually bad gameplay wise

Recently, yes. I played Syndicate and the combat was the generic Arkham style shit every game seems to be going for. Just pirate 2, maybe even the first, and go from there.
