Assassin's Creed: Valhalla

    I think it's undeniable the world building, fidelity, art, coming out of Ubisoft is top notch and always something to look up to. But we are talking about content... AC was first introduced as a "Splinter Cell in the light of day, set in the crusades" - and it wasn't; now it resembles more the experience you already get from The Division or Ghost Recon.

    I mean, I'm sure it works, and maybe the overlap of player of these games is not even that big (so they cover more market) but would be nice to see more original stuff.

    For me AC games lost the main pillar of gameplay long time ago (for me at least). It was climbing the environment to gain advantage, re-route, hide and stealth through some dangerous part of the city. I get it that they need something fresh in the series but why not make a totally different ip?

    He seems like he's trying to convince himself of something he's not convinced of.

    What he's trying to say is we see an opportunity with open world large scale warfare, massive character/clan/village customization, repetitive XP grinding, and locking quests/progress behind player level to artificially extend playtime, and we want to jump on the bandwagon and have a piece of this. We don't want to create a new IP though, so let's just slap it on a beloved and trusted franchise, AC.

    They could have called it "Rise of the Vikings" or make it a new franchise that changes with civilizations like "Ancient Civilizations: Vikings" and the game would probably be nice and fine; but this has nothing to do with AC. No wonder the franchise compass has been lost for a while now.

    But so far it seems like people are enjoying it. And I like the sound of not having level based enemies/gear and instead relying on stamina and timing your attacks

    Yeah, the industry keeps complaining about the risk in new IPs as if AC was never a new IP. Or The Division. Or Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us.

    Same guy had a raving preview of Doom Eternal, to the point I was reconsidering preordering or getting on day-1, then most people here complained about the levelling etc.

    Also the mechanics sound completely new, makes me think of Ryse, DMC and similar games.

    Yep, just like that. Bumped a one year old thread to post this gem from papa ubi.
