People crap on Ubisoft all the time with good reason (including myself), but at the end of the day it's a game and if it's fun. That's the whole point.People can shit on Ubi (and this thread will likely be full of it), but this looks like a good time. I'm getting it on PS5 and I'm expecting it to be very same to the SeX footage shown, so I'm pretty excited to play it.
I feel the same way for the most part. I may hold off for a few months though. Although, I wouldn’t complain if the lady decided to pick it up for Christmas.People can shit on Ubi (and this thread will likely be full of it), but this looks like a good time.

No, combat animations being shitty is one of the largest critiques from almost everyone.Am I the only one that thinks some of the combat animations look strange? Maybe they've always looked like that in AC, but to me they just look off....
Okay, I was genuinely curious. I never really got into the series at all, but was kind of tempted by this one. But seeing the combat animations kind of put me off a bit, lol. The scene where he breaks the neck of the enemy from behind looks like he just hugs him and there's a crunch, lol. There's no change in the animation to reflect the action of snapping the neck, so it looked odd, and that was just one part.No, combat animations being shitty is one of the largest critiques from almost everyone.
They look a bit better than odissey tho, that game was really bad in terms of clmbat animations.
biggerI wonder if the map is the same size as odyssey or smaller?
The last ac game with good combat animations was probably unity or the london one.Okay, I was genuinely curious. I never really got into the series at all, but was kind of tempted by this one.

We wanted to show the brutality of the combat: shows a shitty finisher with buggy camera
Boy do i love ac involuntary comedy gold at times.
Yeah you need to let it go really. This is what AC is now, and has been since they rebooted the game with Origins. Open world Witcher style RPG's, and they are all the better for it.Honestly if they weren’t selling this as an assassins creed game I’d be far more into it
Providing there is no grinding required and you can mainline the story, I’m in.

I like the new direction - I just think the assassins creed branding hurts it. It looks far deeper and more varied than those games but the assassins creed title just frames it as being part of this franchise that doesn’t appeal to me.Yeah you need to let it go really.

AC is the biggest selling Ubisoft franchise. Losing the AC title would probably hurt sales more, id this was just 'Viking Warrior' or some generic title.I like the new direction - I just think the assassins creed branding hurts it.

I read it was smaller but more to do in it?bigger
I think they definitely could build a new brand that people would buy into - plenty have been turned off AC due to past games. Once you’re a part of a franchise like that you can never expect customers to fully divorce their opinions of past titles In the series.AC is the biggest selling Ubisoft franchise.

Well to be fair, they still do have a lot of the AC mechanics, its more story that has changed, with not as much enthasis on the whole Assassins vs Templars angle. Then again we went way back in time again with the Origins reboot, so the whole assassins vs Templars may still be coming.I think they definitely could build a new brand that people would buy into - plenty have been turned off AC due to past games.

Settle down chief.Oh your all a little bit more happier with it now? You couldn't help but slag the franchise's receptiveness and bloated nature off all year. Even when they clearly showed 'WORK IN PROGRESS' footage - it was still criticised how bad it looked lol But now it looks splendid, like all the games end up looking, and then you buy it. Then you enjoy it. Then you actually realise how bloated it is. But then you try to decipher if you actually like it or not. Turns out you liked aspects of it. But it's not an assassins creed game. Then the next year roles around. New game is teased. The locations sounds so intriguing! Can't wait for the cinematic trailer to drop. Hang on? This isn't Assassins Creed! Lol this franchise is a joke! omg this is NOT next gen. Oh the games out next week, let's look at this launch trailer.......woahhhhh not gonna lie.... it does look good, but I'M going to get it when it's discounted. *gets it a week or so later*

So what this game has to do with Assassins? All I see is generic RPG with Viking theme just like Odyssay was generic RPG set in ancient Greece.
It's amazing how quickly Ubi ran this series into the ground... again.
I don't know what you're talking. Both Origins and Odyssey were great.
