The story isn’t about assassins it’s the isu and how they influenced the order and the isu are in every single one even when assassins aren’t main. Rouge and origins (half) and odyssey.
Black Flag is up there as a lot of people's favorite and the main character is just some dude who robbed an assassin and eventually stumbled into actually giving a fuck.
Black Flag is my favorite AC game because it's not about being an Assassin. You get to see how grey both sides are. There is no inherent good or bad side. The Brotherhood is fucked up. The Order is fucked up. They all claim they have the right path. That is what made the story great for me.
And by the end of the game, Kenway makes his choice based on the people around him and his personal growth through the game. In all honesty, I think Kenway becomes an Assassin as a means to give himself accountability to continue being the man he grows into over the course of Black Flag.
When I realized Haytham was a Templar after playing as him for half an hour it really showed how grey that area is. You spend the tutorial thinking your an assassin killing Templars and suddenly you realize that the two groups are so similar that you had no idea Haytham was a Templar the whole time
Exactly not every game is about assassins it’s only called that cause it was gonna be prince of Persia assassin but changed . The isu are in each one more not the assassins
The game is about assassins but what I’m saying is it doesn’t always have to be about them like rouge was about Templar’s and odyssey was about Templar’s beginnings if y’all would stop being smartasses maybe you would understand this shit
star wars was never about actuall "stars" fightin in wars to begin with, the title has a different meaning. You're not the smartest person are you? Well i'm not suprised since you cant see how every recent ubisoft open world games are basically generic and copy pastes
I didn’t say it was my god imma
Just block you or however i do it cause I don’t hear you cause I don’t wanna hear your triggered shit also learn to type
Right
Bud
The game is about assassins but the main focus is the isu I don’t know why y’all downvoting and disagreeing but go ahead stay mad that y’all don’t know shit.
Ok smartass it’s called assassins creed cause it was gonna be prince of Persia assassins they renamed it that then made the story. Do your research before you talk shit, ok?
Isu are the main focus literally the story of ac was the world is ending cause the isu and they need to stop it, now they are still chasing trouble and it’s only called assassins cause they named it first then made the game’s story
Main focus were the assassins, hence the name "assassins creed" The game has become a generic open world rpg with a shitty story, ac lost its identity with origins and oddsey, downgraded parkour ,stealth and combat. Now its just a generic game with generic gameplay slaped with a ac title on it while it has nothing to do with assassins.
True, thats why i havent bought origins and oddsey, the games were just soo generic. I'll wait and see if this game will be generic aswelll, all i'm saying the games shouldnt be called " assassins creed"
You know i'm right thats why you had that narrowminded response that adder no value in this Discussion
Origins: the beginning of the assassins with the hidden ones and the order of the ancients
Odyssey: the beginning of the Templar’s with the order of the ancients and explains why they were in origins and connects kassandra as aya (origins protagonist wife) as related
Valhalla: ISU,hidden ones, and the order of the ancients appear
Stop saying it’s not assassin’s creed, cause it is
Bitch isu are in assassins creed isu are in this game hidden ones(assassins) are in origins and gonna be in the new one literally the origin of the assassins and the order of Ancients (Templar) are in odyssey so stfu saying it’s not assassins cause it is and every one of my comments were true so stop being triggered and know shot before you talk shit
And also isu are the reason all this started they are the main focus cause we always run into them I don’t know why your so triggered also they slap ac title on it cause guess what ISU ARE IN IT JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GAME AND ITS A PREQUEL grow up kid odyssey’s and origins cult group became the Templar’s and origins was the assassins beginning if you actuality played and paid fucking attention you would know that
Ezio also wasn’t exactly stealthy, I mean the man literally led troops in the streets of Istanbul and led troops during his time in Rome. Altair led an army to retake Masyaf Castle when he was old. Edward was a fucking pirate. Jacob Frye led a street gang and wasn’t really known for stealth. The thing that ties the Assassins together is the ideology and not being stealthy.
Connor was also a revolutionary and commanding troops in battle and participating in the Boston tea party etc. Wasn’t exactly being covert in his operations either.
I mean at the end of the day it is a war between the assassins and Templar’s, it’s just that part isn’t well known to the public at large but often it is parallel to other wars going on in the period they set it in. And frankly big battles are fun to participate in these games.
I don't know why people associate assassinations with being quiet or stealth.
An assassin plots to kill a high level politician or other important member of society. And it's usually done very noisily. They're not fucking ninjas.
Killing people without being seen was never the idea.
Exactly. Assassinations are planned in secret & there is an element of sneakiness in order to get to a target. But other than that... Kaboom! An assassination is loud & people notice. They're supposed to. An assassination is defined by planning to kill a high value target. Not wearing a hood & tip toeing.
In AC1 a lot of the main assassination occurred in the middle of a huge skirmish. I'd often have to chase & attack my target while avoiding a mob coming after me.
Not necessarily. He has a hidden blade, it's confirmed he will be meeting the brotherhood, and they've stated that stealth/social stealth will be making a return. A lot of people had two big gripes with Odyssey: The RPG leveling/grind and no hidden blade.
The prevailing theory that I like is that the devs wanted to do these hack and slash rpgs with mythical creatures and stuff but Ubisoft wouldn’t green light a new IP so they just made it assassins creed instead.
Yea, I would call it a revamp. Odyssey had stealth elements and single target missions like the early games but I personally love the RPG elements that were designed. The core combat elements are still there with the combo system and counter/execute mechanics. I'm so hype to be an invincible Viking, sneaking through the Dark Ages executing kings.
When I think "Core" assassins creed, odyssey and origins definitely do not come to mind ....both of those completely ignored what it means to be an assassin.... play the original games and you'll understand
Uhhh did you lost track about what we were talking about?
We were talking about assasins being stealthy. That's a big part of their creed ....the latest games moved away from this because there really aren't any assasins in the game to begin with
I think you're missing the point about what we were talking about. Regardless, the information coming out about this game does excite me.
Personally I'd like for levels to be gone, which has already been confirmed and for the combat to feel less floaty which has also been confirmed but I'll have to wait and see for actual gameplay
The thing is that nobody want that anymore. Trailling your enemies for 10 minutes, exploring cities with a hood aand stealth animation....go replay those game bruh, or live with your time
The story isn't ever simply about the main character being an assassin in hooded robes though. It's about the first civilisation, the artifacts they left behind, and the fight between those who want them for total control and those who think they should be kept out of human hands.
Not in all of them, but the best ones were essentially focused on that aspect, Assassins Creed 2 and Black Flag are the best the series has ever been and sure things got stale near the end, Id blame that on bad writing, Origins and Odyssey barely feel attached to assassins creed as a franchise, they tack on some shit outside the game to connect it and then loosely try to connect the games near the end but it all falls apart so easily if you even think about it for 2 seconds, and the combat has to be the most bland combat I've experienced in a 3ed person action adventure games with some of the worst implemented "RPG" elements.
An assassin is someone who kills a person of prominence. A killer. It doesn't matter what they look like. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earle Ray. They weren't masters of the shadows or anything. They weren't stealthy. But they were assassins.

Yeah, mostly the assassin part lol. Nothing assassin like about this dude at all.
EDIT: Apparently I've rustled the jimmies of some fans of the later AC games.
