>>730591798>Why did AC Shadows flop?Can you be a decent human being for once.
N
>>730591798video game studios haven't grasped that activists aren't gamers. It's like demanding a better street without ever setting foot on it. I can't believe video game studios are adults
>>730592359This.Friendly reminder, leftists can only project and scream at you what they're doing. Remember that when you see the retarded >/v/ doesn't play games!!!!Altho I doubt the 70% shitskin marketers do either so they're not completely incorrect this time, but that's a happy accident really.
>>730591857Nope>>730591881retard
>>730591798That explains the spam and seethe
>the son of a billionaire through child slavery in emerald mines states his opinion on why a billion dollar company goes bankrupt
>>730591798No it didn't. It's the best selling game.
>>730591798Yasuke was gay?
Should I buy some stock before the chinese take over?
I only play chinese games
>>730593713Before? Anon....It's already been taken over. They're beholden to Tencent entirely now. They'll begin a multi-year process of trimming ubisoft's fat piece by piece. There might even be a decent bunch of studios by the end of it.
>>730591798>shoving a gay black samurai into feudal japan killed ubisoftThey danced too close to Slaneesh(peace be upon xir)
>>730593815Nope minority stake they have zero corporate control
>>730593534Kvetch about it, pinko
>>730593849What's with the overlap of Nintendo and Snoy consumers?
>>730593667In the game he gets fucked by a non binary (male) jap
>>730591798All it took what a gay black samurai to make more players choose the female protagonist over the male one.
>>730593534You'd have to have the IQ of a "monkey" to think you can be billionaire by owning emerald mines. Or to think Elon Musk's father is a billionaire in the first place.
>>730593713If you're looking to gamble, at least do shit like buying QQQ calls. Or hell, bet on football games. Buying shares of Ubisoft right now is about as safe as buying shares of a penny stock
>>730593869Mate the deal includes taking all of their major IPs into a studio tencent intends to fully control.Without those IPs ubisoft is a husk. What do you think is going to happen to those studios who won't develop those games anymore?I even checked the agreement, Ubisoft only agreed to hold a maximum stake for a minimum of two years. Tencent also gets first choice.https://staticctf.ubisoft.com/8aefmxkxpxwl/75tVaQDaf9A5X8N97roq4K/5fc21239bb19bfc7ee1a8599a216e1fc/Closing_press_release_21.11.25_EN.pdf

>>730593667>>730593991Yasuke in Canon Mode (I.e. the mode you should be playing that removes all choices because being able to make choices is not how the Animus works) only has a thing for Rin (A real woman) who he friendzones because he knows it can't work and immediately gets depressed over and Oichi (A real woman) because he knows no one would ever accept a black man in such a position of royalty and she was extremely loyal to her husband.In a discussion with Naoe about what their hopes for their lives were or could have been if not for the whole Shinbakufu/Templar thing Naoe specifically says she wants to bang an Igan man and pop out three children to make her dad proud while Yasuke says he wants to be back home in Africa on land he owns as his children run around it.Regarding the they/them (Ibuki) that everyone always posts the webm of and grin from, he gets him some flowers and then goes "You're a good friend" and then leaves. The only way Yasuke has gay sex is if you intentionally choose to do it in a non-canon mode that you are not even intended to be playing in unless you intentionally want to play in a way that's non-canon. You personally have to make two separate choices in not playing in Canon Mode but then also willingly kissing Ibuki in said non-canon mode on top of it.
>>730597303gay nigra cope
>>730594683>all of Ubi's valuable IPs get spun off without a shareholder vote or any kind of processI still don't understand how French law lets this happen since it fundamentally rapes Ubisoft shareholders.
>>730591798
>>730591798As far I know it didn't flop and sol as much as other AC games.It's just "concern trolling" from racist who want to imply it shouldn't have had Yasuke as a character.
>>730597303>unless you intentionally want to play in a way that's non-canon"Canon" mode forces you to be a tranny in greek and viking game, they chose male protagonist to be non canon
>>730601595Canon Mode doesn't exist in Odyssey or Valhalla.
>>730601670i dunno i didnt even play them lmao, i dont play garbagebut they did say that female protagonists are canon there
>>730597303>(I.e. the mode you should be playing that removes all choices because being able to make choices is not how the Animus works)If I remember, Odissey don't have a mode with obligatory choices.
>>730601841Average /v/tard
>>730601841>but they did say that female protagonists are canon thereThey did in Valhalla. Odyssey did not say one way or the other. Valhalla confirms Odin got stuck in a woman's body and showed Kassandra as the main character. Shadows also confirms Kassandra as Odyssey's MC as does Jade though Jade isn't out yet and relies on beta gameplay footage.>>730601942Odyssey and Valhalla by default make you make choices because they want the Witcher 3 audience. None of the choices you can make are canon because it completely contradicts how the Animus works since it would mean you are literally changing reality by being able to do so. The Odyssey novel is what's canon for Odyssey and Kassandra makes some exceptionally stupid decisions in it. Valhalla has no canon choices that we know of outside of Eivor being a woman, Randvi has a romantic attraction to Eivor but it may or may not be reciprocated as that's necessary to piss off Sigurd, and Sigurd doesn't leave Ravensthorpe because it's required for the full epilogue to my understanding.
>>730591798Bought it on sale and it's honestly quite enjoyable except for the nigger insert. Thank god you can skip his quests and ignore him for 90% of the game.
>>730602060Ni... Ningen. Human :D
>>730593534Stay mad lmao
>>730602248>you can skip his questsYou can't. He's mandatory for several Shinbakufu members (The main story), the entire Templar story is his, multiple side quests only work for him like the crests, Nobutsuna's Students, and the betrayers, and multiple targets in Claws of Awaji are tied to him. He's also significantly better to play if you're doing contracts or Corrupted Castles because he takes what takes Naoe an hour to do and does it in about five minutes because he's completely broken. Postgame is basically 100% Yasuke unless you want to make everything take significantly longer, especially since so much is tied to Animus challenges that require you to clear multiple castles.
>>730602224>ubishit is still mad about people playing as Alexios instead of Kassandraholy shit
>>730591798>Why did AC Shadows flop?No one will ever know. It's one of the greatest mysteries of our time. It was probably just a random fluke and will never happen again as long as they keep repeating that same exact formula of insulting cultures and using black people as attack weapons, I don't think they could ever fail again. Ubisoft should continue this line of thinking because there is no way they can continue to fail with this genius strategy. They have some of the greatest woke minds on the planet working on it. And as we all know, woke is the future. It never fails and people absolutely fucking can't get enough of it.
>>730601841There are a ton of choices in Odyssey, one of them condemn an entire island to death. Other push someone to suicide, I'm pretty sure I could have prevented that child death.>>730602224No disagreement about the Animus being supposed to reflect history as it already happened.But given that Odyssey is about... the mythological form of odyssey, and that AC have always played loosely with history anyway......having choices is extremely pertinent for that game. You are a god-like warrior fighting a cult wishing to control the world. If you take the choices into your hands, you'll have to face the result of your choices.Kassandra mode: I let them kill the familly to stop a plague.Alexios mode: "You are no gods!" then I essentially act as if I was the god and end up killing the island.Less so in Shadows, which I played in "canon" mode too, simply because I couldn't be bothered.
>>730603534>But given that Odyssey is about... the mythological form of odyssey, and that AC have always played loosely with history anyway...having choices is extremely pertinent for that game.The problem is that you literally would not be able to sync anyone's memories if you could make choices at all. The central conceit of the Animus is that in order to view memories you must do exactly what the ancestor did otherwise it kicks you out of the Animus and you have a desync forcing you to redo stuff just so your body isn't rejecting it. The only time anyone ever gets around this is when Layla forces Deimos' memories at a specific point to understand what's going on in one of the DLC episodes or the ending of the Family plotline, I forgot which, and she can only do it for like a minute before her organs start rejecting her and she starts bleeding out of random orifices. Even when she tries to go to Aya in Origins she can't until she's synced Bayek to the specific point she wants to go to Aya because her kidneys will fail.The only thing the Animus does is allows you to go to locations the ancestor did in that time period and fudge the in-between stuff like collectibles or stealing from people, how you parkoured, etc. It's why in the games prior to Unity you had massive sections of the map impossible to be visited because the ancestor did not visit them at that point in time. Dialogue choices are major aspects of a character and would not work at all, you should be getting rejected outright for saying anything the ancestor didn't say.
>>730603958Dude, just accept that AC never had a canonical history in the first place.Yes, in a strict "causal" logic you cannot have "choices" that give a different result from what (supposedly) happened.But following that logic it should be a god damn movie. You shouldn't have a gameplay.So the game never followed that autistic rule and you know it.The very theme of the game is about fighting against those trying to control everyone and deny them the freedom of choice.So from the start, each setting were only a context to express the freedom of the players as they fought against it.In Odyssey it makes sense to be given a lot of (meaningful) choices, because you walk the path of a mythological figure making history and facing the result of their choices.In Shadows it makes sense to have a canon mode simply because in this context it's more about living with a painful past you can't change and turning it into a good thing.In Odyssey you build the future.In Shadows you live according to your past.
>>730591798Franchise fatigue, culture war bullshit and false narratively around the game thanks to the culture war bullshit
Why didn't gamers buy PoP: the lost Crown? It was a good game, it was a great game even. That's what gamers want right, games that are good >>730593849>Slaneesh Stop using words you don't understand
>>730602952>Anti-white/asian >Anti-capitalist What stupid joke is this?
>>730591798The Yasuke controversy was one thing, but the Ubisoft fatigue is another. Every single one of their games being a lot of the same shit on endless loop drove folks to simply stop caring so much as of late. And the sheer aggressive MTX + trying to ram themselves down your throat with near-yearly checklist open world titles that don't have the staying power of some other franchises outright aggrandized folks in turn.
Because it's a franchise of cycles, it follows a clear pattern of release and shakeups >First game is released and does well, second one peaks and the franchise sees lower sales with each passing game until Black flag. >Black flag shakes up the formula and creates new interest in the IP where is peaks but each passing game sees less sales until Origin is released >Origin shakes up the formula and creates new interest in the IP where it peaks but each release sees lower sales.
>>730606065>to go so far into excessive body modification seeking beauty but finding monstrosity with a strong desire to corrupt others into their cult of degeneracyI mean, it fits.
>>730605736>But following that logic it should be a god damn movie. You shouldn't have a gameplay.>So the game never followed that autistic rule and you know it.Except this is already explained away in-lore from the very first game by you needing to interact with the environment to convince yourself you're that person and getting immersed enough that you can sync at the memories at all. Once a memory is synced then it's just the Animus itself handwaving stuff because it doesn't require you to be perfect anymore. The decisions you make that aren't important such as what object to move onto or what person to push and so forth are simply a product of the environment, they are happenstance, and so they don't affect your ability to sync. You don't think about them and the Animus itself understand what is important to sycning memories. When you do get stuff like the Metal Gear Solid event or the Trial of the Gods that is them literally hacking your Animus to allow you to dick around with them and basically functions as a side mode wearing a skin rather than syncing memories.Being given a dialogue choice means you personally are intervening with history meaning you should instantly be desyncing unless it's the correct choice every time.>In Odyssey it makes sense to be given a lot of (meaningful) choices, because you walk the path of a mythological figure making history and facing the result of their choices.It does not make sense at all because, again, it's not how the Animus works. You will literally have your organs fail if you do this. Even the movie outright showed you that you can't just skip the memories without going insane.This train of logic also makes zero sense because you have no explanation for this in Valhalla, and then Mirage has no dialogue choices at all because even they know dialogue choices make no sense in their world, it's solely for the Witcher 3 people they brought into the fanbase who want to roleplay instead of play a video game.
>>730607409>He says when more than half the follower's of Slaneesh don't even follow that crap Again stop using words you don't understand, Sigvald a champion of Slaneesh has ZERO body modification and the noise marines doesn't give a single shit about beauty of the body and only care about perfecting their craft.
How do stocks even work?
>>730591798>Gamers don't want to play as blacks or females>Make our only characters black or female>Checkmate gamers!>Nobody buys the gameAnd thus they were bought by Tencent. Au revoir, Shoshanna!
>>730593667Who's gay? Yasuke!
>>730591798Inferior genetic hair
>>730608071It's this amazing scam that only benefits the top execs when the company goes public. After that, it just means your company is a whore and the shareholders are the pimp, with the customers as the johns, whose pleasure is a very distant goal compared to the pimp getting his money.
>>730608071Ubisoft has over 100 million pizza slices, each slice is like 6 bucks (stock price)
>>730591798Because they decided to throw any and all attempts at historical accuracy in the trash, and started picking fights with people who told them they were wrong, including the Japanese government.
>>730602224Then why did they make it Alexios in 3 Remastered?
>>730593667They have him fuck Nobunaga's sister, famous for her loyalty to her husband. Thus implying the current Nobunaga descendants are related to Yasuke.
>>730603534Dude, Odyssey literally shows the pyramids being built in the Legacy of the first blade DLC. There's being loose with history, then there's being fucking retarded.
>>730606065I did. I immediately swapped Sargon into a different outfit to eliminate that dumb hair, though. Puzzles were fun, the powers were neat, and I thought fighting alternate timeline versions of yourself to unlock the gauge attacks was a cool idea. The snapshots were also a great feature.
>>730609089Because it would make no sense for Connor to be running around in a female set of armor?
>>730597303Yasuke is gay, just like you for this post. lmao nigga, who writes all of that and has no stake in that dumpster fire?
>>730607427>Once a memory is synced then it's just the Animus itself handwaving stuff...and every single of the dialogue choices you can make is just the Animus handwaving stuff.There, solved.The entire philosophical basis behind the Assassin's Creed is moot if you consider the universe as deterministic and freewill meaningless.The animus itself being a virtual reinterpretation, of a reality that's already subject to the "Simulation hypothesis", should tell you that what matter more is to offer the players choices and the result of those choices.For all you know no one but you exist, you are just a brain in a simulation surrounded by NPC meant to guide you toward a mindset for reasons that escape you. You playing an Assassin's Creed game? Just another layer of the simulation for all you know.The game cannot offer infinite choice and the (real) goal remain to have fun regardless of the choices, so you are constrained into only choosing choices that are fun. But the theme is to fight for freedom of choice.Since the mythological period of Odyssey is about either begging the gods for a good fate ...or considering your actions matters like Hippocrates of Kos, having choices is the best way to play Odyssey.Oh and stop projecting with the Witcher 3, discussion choices existed long ago and as explained above it actually make more sense to have those in a setting like Assassin's Creed.It was a good decision, not for every game, but certainly for AC, even if "canon" is also an acceptable play of playing it.
>>730591798it will never not make me laugh that they held onto their get-out-of-jail card for so long and then absolutely ruined it
>>730609342But you are in a minority, it was a good game that for some reason people didn't buy.
>>730609670And why was Japan their "get-out-of-jail" card? The word doesn't even come from Japan No Japan being a get-out-of-jail card was nothing by a delusional fantasy created by people who are so deep into Japans bullshit that they wouldn't deny the massacre in Nanking.
>>730601841This shit pisses me off and why I genuinely hate right wing niggers as much as leftist faggots. All bunch of piece of shit liars. Why is honest fucking impossible to find these days
>>730609136>Thus implying the current Nobunaga descendants are related to Yasuke.This is how absolutely fucking retarded these history fags are. >viDEo GaEM Is rEwRitInG hISTorY
>>730609631>and every single of the dialogue choices you can make is just the Animus handwaving stuff.Except it can't do that because you are supposed to be syncing true history and if you aren't then you desync from the identity you are trying to sync. The hand waves are why things like the multiplayer can happen at all (You are playing an avatar, not syncing a character) or you can randomly stab a civilian (Which then proceeds to desync you because it's not something the ancestor did). If you touch the main story at all you are syncing a character so you can't hand wave stuff outside of getting from place to place and even then there are limitations where you can even explore because the ancestor never visited that location at that point in their life. The fact that there IS a true canon for Odyssey also means that any dialogue options that are not 1:1 those choices means you should be consistently desyncing like playing as Alexios.>discussion choices existed long agoDialogue choices were first added in Odyssey. The only time you could ever do anything of your own free will was as Desmond who was in Modern Day, not the Animus.>It was a good decision, not for every game, but certainly for ACIt is an objectively bad choice for the series as it completely destroys the entire world and established rules they set up decades ago. It also means they have to spend dev time on this garbage on top of it and rather than do what they did for a literal decade of making a consistent story now we have to piece together what even happened in the games for the story to make sense. As I said earlier, we still have zero clue what actually happened in Valhalla outside of a few very specific parts of it due to Basim's existence, Eivor's bones, etc.>>730609136>>730609939Yasuke never has sex with Oichi. There is an entire cutscene where Naoe even says it can never happen despite him having feelings for her and then he makes a joke about being a prince in Africa.
>>730609136>famous for her loyalty to her husband.Which one? LOL
>>730609363Then make it an extra costume in Liberation for Aveline. Problem solved.
>>730609731Oh for sure. I like Metroidvanias and mythology, so it was definitely something that I'd be wanting. I liked seeing something that wasn't the usual Greco-Roman or Norse mythos getting some love. The game having a Persian dub was also a nice touch. I honestly think most people saw Sargon and immediately wrote the game off afterwards.
>>730610787Liberation HD was a straight port of the XBLA/PSN version, AC3R was a pseudo remake. Wouldn't make much sense as it still has all the same issues the original had unlike AC3R which now has so many new glitches.
>>730602558The anger stems from the fact that Origins was supposed to focus on Aya originally, only for the higher ups to tell them to make Bayek the main character instead. When it came around for Odyssey to be developed, they split the difference with Kass and Alex, with them expecting more people to pick the woman over the man. When that didn’t happen, they started fuming in rage, and made Kass the canon decision, and Eivor a canon woman out of spite.
>>730610816>honestly think most people saw Sargon and immediately wrote the game off afterwards.That's exactly what they did, even if a media isn't woke getting caught in the culture war horeshit does bad things to sale. But it also doesn't help that Ubisoft was losing popularity at the time
>>730591798There is know Armored Core game named Shadows.>>730591881Okay, let's respect history.
>>730610912Then they should’ve never made the costume, or remaster.
>>730591798it was a high fantasy lore in a realistic setting that tried to rewrite history making an exotic slave out to be some warrior hero
>>730611093Yeah, there were definitely a bunch of factors at play. Which is a shame since the game is fun, and I would have enjoyed them giving similar treatment to the mythologies of other cultures.
>>730591798*Ahem*It's not Get Woke, go Broke.It's Go Broke, get Woke, ultimately CROAK.
>>730591798if only you could get people to notice that much about the game. the bigger issue being they don't care about japan anymore
>>730611382The dumbest thing is that Yasuke as presented in Shadows would be more well known than anyone in the time period. More than Nobunaga.>Is the sole heir and master of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkage-ryū which https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marume_Nagayoshi personally can attest to.>Was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamiizumi_Nobutsuna 's best student and every single student of his knew Yasuke.>Personally knew both https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kōdai-in and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oichi to such a degree that they personally brought gifts to him and asked for him by name to help them regularly.>In broad daylight, in front of an entire village, he decapitates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akechi_Mitsuhide with Naoe.>Minutes later https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyotomi_Hideyoshi comes to collect Mitsuhide's head and thanks both Naoe and Yasuke personally by name since he has met them multiple times before.>Knew every single one of Tokugawa's generals and is responsible for ordering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenshō_Iga_War to happen which every single general there witnessed since he recommended it in their war meeting.>Personally collected every single one of the Tokugawa clan crests for a historian who promises that his deeds will be remembered.>Singlehandedly stopped the entire Templar Order in Japan.>Every single person in the entire game including bandits in the middle of nowhere not only know he's a samurai, but his name is Yasuke.They had to add this line into Claws of Awaji to try and handwave all of this which makes it even more insane that not a single person ever wrote about the tall black man murdering his way across Japan years after Nobunaga was assassinated and killing their country's rulers personally in broad daylight.
>>730612094>They had to add this line into Claws of Awaji to try and handwave all of this which makes it even more insane that not a single person ever wrote about the tall black man murdering his way across Japan years after Nobunaga was assassinated and killing their country's rulers personally in broad daylight.You speak like rulers can't purge record's, and you say this about assassin Creed a franchise that takes a lot of liberty with history.
>>730610264>Except it can't do that because you are supposed to be syncing true historyAnd since "true history" has no problem with you doing every side-quest in any orders. The logical conclusion is that dialogue choices is no different from any other handwave.This is factual, no discussion choices for you here.Same for the whole Kassandra versus Alexios, the Animus is by nature so damn flexible, a characters swap is no different from killing more guards in a playthrough than in another, it's 1:1 as far it is concerned.It's not like AC's "true history" even cared to match IRL history. Yasuke existed but if it actually had such importance it would have taken the Templar entire workforce to erase him from history.>Dialogue choices were first added...in games long before W3. It's good that Odissey decided to improve itself by adding them as it was the most fitting setting to have those.No different from adding boats in the game.>it completely destroys the entire world and established rules they set up decades agoNo rules were infringed at any point, the in-game Animus just became flexible enough to let you chose actions AND dialogues.>we still have zero clue what actually happened in ValhallaYou are the one who don't understand what the game message is (beside selling video games ofc).AC:Odyssey is like 2001:Space Odyssey, you can interpret it in multiple ways and it's better that way.
>>730612094>>730612274As much as I like AC:Shadows, it would have made more sense if a plot point was:- the Templar doing all they can to erase Yasuke from history- and in doing so, stupidly allowed Yasuke to kill more of them from the Shadows
>>730591798suffer ubisoft suffer
>>730612274>You speak like rulers can't purge record'sThe Assassins run Japan and have for hundreds of years. The Templars still in Modern Day have not taken hold so it's one of the few countries Abstergo can't do anything in and the Assassins would have zero reason to wipe him from history as his presence does not expose them in any way.Abstergo has no reason to remove him from history because no one knows he's an Assassin or associated with them considering he killed all the Templars before they could get that information out. Yukari only knows of his existence because he killed her dad then immediately kills her a few days after she learns that, and the silver chick only knows of him because Duarte demanded it and he killed Mitsuhide and she won't blab because he saved her brother.We cannot have that level of Wikipedia articles about all those subjects but Yasuke is "Oh, he just left Japan at some point after Nobunaga's betrayal", especially since he only became the master of Shinkage-ryu after Nobunaga's death and killed Mitsuhide after that. Someone would have written about him and neither side has any reason to hide information about him.
I honestly don't know why it flopped. It seemed like the same shit the average fan would be expecting from an Assassin's Creed game, it really didn't do anything too crazy. I thought it was boring, but I think every ass creed is boring yet they sell like crazy until now.

>>730591798They could've gotten away with the DEI stuff if this was mid 2010's Ubisoft when they still had good faith but by the 2020's the whole company became a pariah. When Ubisoft decided to release their "trump card" they've already lost faith by a good chunk of the vidya industry. When they tried to pull they "you're racist if you don't like this card" most people from majority to minority were in the camp of.>Got tired of the culture war stuff and just wanted to grill>Couldn't care less about Ubislop and weren't buying that the company the got sued up the ass for rape and racism alegations actually cares about representation>Were actually racist>Were the exact people that did have these DEI beliefs but would never, ever buy a video game everI'm on the second camp.
>>730612359>And since "true history" has no problem with you doing every side-quest in any orders.Because the ancestor did those things at that point. I don't get how this is hard to understand. Ezio can't go past the coliseum in Brotherhood early on because he as a person didn't visit it at that point. After a few missions then he as a person historically went there so now you can run around there. That is the understanding of how this all works. Altair collected all those flags and killed all those Templars while he was hunting his target which is why you can collect them, but why you can't randomly go to Acre at the start of the game unless told to because Altair never went there.The implication of you being able to do the side quests and run around the entire map is that people like Bayek, Kassandra, Eivor, Basim, and Naoe/Yasuke all explored the country and did them early on. It's not the Animus handwaving, it's how it tells you what they did. Some side quests don't even unlock until after main story missions, particularly in Shadows.>the Animus is by nature so damn flexibleNo it isn't. It has explicitly explained rules as to how it handwaves stuff. Why are you arguing this if you don't even know how the Animus works? The character/race swap is only able to happen in Odyssey and Valhalla because the DNA is mixed in the former, and Odin's DNA is intertwined with Eivor's causing it to glitch. AC3 even shows you how it begins to sync you and how it layers everything over you. Desmond learning Haytham is a Templar is so shocking to him it breaks the syncing of his memory.>...in games long before W3.We're talking about in AC games.>the in-game Animus just became flexible enough to let you chose actions AND dialogues.Except this is not presented in any of the games in any dossiers, Layla's explanations, or anything. The only thing it became flexible with is being able to access DNA without blood. It's still beholden to many rules from Vidic's Animus.

>>730593808>gacha slopok coomerback to the shithole you came from
>>730605736Your logic is basically>if you 15yo are legal in texas, 13yo should too.There is a limit. The animus has its limit to let you have gameplay, but not enough to let you choose if you characters ends up in gay marriage or breed with a african girl to make an Ezio ancestor or something
I don't know why anyone cares about anything out side of AC1, Ezio, and Black Flag.
>>730612803>yet they make no mention of the Vikings who helped AlfredBecause they as a group are effectively Hidden Ones and all of England was OotA city so word got around about them. Also, Aelfred being helped by Eivor is only important from the Order of the Ancients side of things, it historically has no relevance and they're just a random Norse settlement in England outside of that. Ravensthorpe actually fought against Aelfred early on which can easily be spun as vikings trying to attack England with no importance.Eivor only helped Aelfred later on because of the whole leader of the OotA thing. Let's also not forget that Aelfred created the Templar Order so he wouldn't exactly want it publicly known about these things to begin with.>or the gang who controlled the streets of London during the Victorian eraThe Rooks aren't publicly known as The Rooks, they're just random gangs. The point of them is that the Assassins can have these random groups work under their banner yet still be anonymous. They also disappear as a whole a few years later after they join Jack and Evie causes them to functionally implode as an organized group. They can at least be chalked up to groups of dangerous hoodlums terrorizing the streets which is brought up in the DLC.
>>730613540what in the world is that shit?
>>730614498ubisoft's last dlc in assasins creed shadows
>>730597303yasuke's entire existence is not canon.
>>730614498Time limited AoT crossover event. It was extremely low quality compared to the Dead by Daylight one which is permanent.
>>730614803You know they only did this collab because of the ease of implementing it>step one scale up generic model>step two take off the clothes>you're finished good job.
>>730592359nobody plays games anymore. old games have some hold outs but they are slowly trickling off.
>>730614803>>730614989do you even fight the titan? if not, whats the point?
>>730615129No, you just run from it. Eren is also just there for some reason crystallized.
>>730591798It was disgustingly antijapanese
>>730592359They think that they can use videogames like they did movies and television shows to indoctrinate the public into conforming to certain narratives without understanding that gamers have to invest more money and effort into their hobby than simply watching a screen. Propaganda is more tolerable when you're just absorbing it via osmosis. If you're required to actively participate, then it becomes much more unpleasant
If shadows failed because of it being woke anti-japanese historical rewriting propaganda. Then why did Mirage fail? Does anyone even remember Mirage? Was the game so bad it got memory holed by everyone?
>>730618281>If you're required to actively participate, then it becomes much more unpleasantFalse
>>730618368Mirage didn't fail, it sold far better than they expected. Shadows is what they keep spinning the wheels on admitting it underperformed.https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-says-assassins-creed-franchise-exceeded-expectations-driving-positive-financial-results-but-while-mirage-gets-a-sales-update-shadows-does-not>Was the game so bad it got memory holed by everyone?No, it was quite solid. It still needs a bit more refinement and to take some of the stealth changes from Shadows, but it's a good springboard for remaking AC1 if they want provided they change some things.
Is it actually fun?Didn't really care for Origin or Valhalla but I liked Odyssey.
>>730591798IIRC AC Shadows itself was a decent success.But a decent success can't save a company after multiple flops in a row.The company will just die slightly slower now.
>>730605968These, plus it wasn't very good. Despite all the typical game review ratings, 8's,9's,10's, it was actually very pretty but shallow and not very interesting IMO.
>>730618580>Didn't really care for Origin or Valhalla but I liked Odyssey.You probably won't like it if you liked Odyssey over Origins or Valhalla.>Stealth is better but the AI is both more paranoid and dumber with them having no way to combat you being prone on a roof.>Combat is better and more dangerous with only Yasuke being overpowered.>Have to play on Nightmare for both combat and stealth to have any real fun, any lower and you break the game in half with little issue and most mechanics being irrelevant.>Castle design is the best in the series bar none. They set everything up extremely well including in the DLC and they feel massive but also reasonable while having so many options with stealth.>The season system is great and brings both visual and gameplay variety.>Story on Naoe's side is just a generic revenge story and she barely has any character development while Yasuke has the important and interesting parts of the story but is barely in the story.>Side quests are mostly boring outside of the Yokai ones and Nobutsuna's students.>The areas when you stick to the path are well designed, but if you step off the beaten path it's procgen slip and slides which really sucks.>Tons and tons of shrines and temples. Even though they're all unique unlike Odyssey's sanctuaries there's just so many of them it gets really boring and you feel like most of Japan is shrines and temples.>Decently buggy. It's not as bad as AC3 or anything but you will clip through stuff, softlock on hills, and randomly get launched for no reason.>If you want Helix Store stuff you get flooded with free currency to the point that you can own like 1/3rd of the store by the time you're done.
>>730591798Elon is such a fucking faggot.
>>730591798ac shadows is an ok game. but I dont know what about it would get the normies swarming to it. the only reason I even played it is because my dad has an autistic fixation with the series
>>730620415That’s exactly it. Ubisoft made an okay game when they needed a smash hit instead.
>>730593849What would Chad Warden say about this if he were alive to see it?
>>730620415Every single movie that causes people to leave the theater early is shit. Gaming is so shit though that games very few want to finish are just "okay"
