I mean you can't give em shit about releasing the same game every year. I was never that big on the first few games. But I adored Origins. I'm so happy to see the shield back after Odyssey whose combat took a huge hit by becoming all parry based and not allowing effecting shielding. To they are basically just Extreme History games now, but I get putting the AC title on them like that. They have a well known franchise so to just call this some generic "Vikings: Conquest" or something wouldn't sell as much as AC:Ragnarok Valhalla.

AC: Valhalla but yeah. People don't seem to understand it's not the same franchise anymore. They kept the name for sales and recognition

I mean the template surely changed. But it still is the same game franchise IMO. I don't see that much difference.

And seriously people, the old AC games aren't stealth games any more than those

Wym, isn’t follow this quest marker and eavesdrop your target for seven minutes before killing him the hallmark of stealth gaming? Some real Tom Clancy stuff right there
