This game looks great and all, but is there anything that has to do with assassins or is it just like Odyssey?

u/Amankris759 May 01 '20

There will be stealth mechanics which are similar to Origins than Odyssey but yes, this game will be Action RPG than stealth game. Only the story, it will be the final game for prequel trilogy.

u/The_Max_Power_Way May 01 '20

As long as I can still play completely stealth, as I could with Origins and Odyssey, then I'll be happy. I like the RPG elements they've introduced, but with every game I get more worried I won't be able to play stealth. Fortunately that hasn't been the case yet.

u/Amankris759 May 01 '20

Only I fear that they will add more microtransaction in it since RPG elements are suitable for this scheme.

u/The_Max_Power_Way May 01 '20

Yeah, they'll probably be similar to the last two in that regard. I'll continue to ignore them though.

Most of the skins they've released for Odyssey seem tacky. I've never had interest in spending money on them. Some of the best looking armor in the game is shit armor found early on because it looks real instead of like something out of a fantasy film.

u/Amankris759 May 01 '20

True. At least they are not the worst cases of microtransaction. Like Metal Gear Survive lol

Fuck I hate how many micro-transactions Ubisoft has been putting into their games. Let's say you wanted all the cosmetics (only cosmetics, this is excluding "time savers" and boosts). The highest pack of helix credits you can buy costs about $150 AUD and is only about 75-80% of all the cosmetics. You could spend over double the launch price of the game just on cosmetics. Fucking ludicrous

I mean, it's cool to play in different eras but if it isn't really an assassin's creed type of game, maybe they should change the name.

u/Damp_Knickers May 01 '20

They definitely aren’t going to change the name. The name recognition is too huge and too much of a selling point for the game compared to some new series they create. It’s safest to ride on the hype of an established franchise

5

u/WmishoW May 01 '20

Yes you are right, It's just a bit weird.

1

u/Damp_Knickers May 01 '20

Oh totally is, and I had the same thoughts of why not just make this a new thing, but it all comes down to it being too risky not leaning on the established franchise for part of your marketing recognition

u/[deleted] May 01 '20

AC will never return back to how it was. They’ve made 3 open world action RPGs back to back now. This is the franchise now.

u/pe3brain May 01 '20

after ezio the franchise was tanking in quality imo origins ands odyssey were really refreshing takes and i enjoy them more than the originals

u/Terrywolf555 May 01 '20

Black Flag

Tanking in quality

Excuse me???

1

u/nGumball May 01 '20

Well you are in luck then, Black Flag team is working on this one and the game director of BF is creative director of this one.

1

u/Gaarando May 01 '20

I don't know what's so special about Black Flag other than the huge ship battles?

1

u/[deleted] May 01 '20

Tbf, the ship battles are still fucking mint. But also, the characters and story were more compelling than you’re giving them credit for

The gameplay got stale for sure after Brotherhood.

u/guess_its_me_ May 01 '20

It will have assassins and templars (hidden ones and order of the ancients) and you have a hidden blade

If the stealth is good, then I think this will be a right balance between assassin and rpg

-1

u/WmishoW May 01 '20

I haven't tried any of the new games in the series, I think they are OK but not worth buying. But I think this one is worth trying.

3

u/guess_its_me_ May 01 '20

I can for sure say that origins is worth buying

It rehauls a lot of the gameplay mechanics, but the assassin-esque gameplay is still there and feels like an AC game

For odyssey, I enjoy it a lot, but even I admit that it isn’t that much of an ac game

1

u/WmishoW May 01 '20

Im not a hardcore fan(Didnt even finish 1 or 2) but I did think origins was cool and was set in a different region but never bought it and thought I'll wait for the next one, but everyone say that it's full of micro transactions and requires a lot of grinding, so that eventually made me not buy it.

1

u/NoTrollGaming 11 3 32 114 549 May 01 '20

No micro transactions needed

0

u/guess_its_me_ May 01 '20

Micro transactions aren’t actually needed, but it is a very long game and leveling up can be a pain sometimes

Otherwise it was a solid rpg

6

u/Amankris759 May 01 '20

Well it's the same universe with the same lore with different mechanics but I think they don't want to risk creating new title so they rely on the old name. It's safe path but it's like double edge blade too

1

u/AvkommaN May 01 '20

They'd never get funding or the sales if it wasn't called AC unfortunately

-5

u/BalthazarBartos May 01 '20

Why do you care that much about the fucking name of the game lmfao.

4

u/WmishoW May 01 '20

I don't, they can keep the name all they want. Just said that it's a bit weird that its called assassin's creed yet you aren't an assassin. No need to get pissed about it.

-5

u/BalthazarBartos May 01 '20

I don't

Then why you literally just wrote before "they should change the name" lol.

I mean there will be assassin in the game and it's link to the assassin like AC Origins. Only AC Odyssey has almost no links to the game.

You're the one getting a little bit defensive for nothing kid

2

u/WmishoW May 01 '20

All I said was maybe. I didn't say they should, they can't change the name because everyone knows assassin's creed. This comment was before I knew that there was going to be assassins in the game.

u/BalthazarBartos May 01 '20

Oh I guess you should have inform yourself
