Assassin's Creed 7 “Victory”

[blackdog]

As I think was already been revealed some time ago, after what feels years of fan requests, the new chapter goes to London

London Calling: Next Assassin’s Creed Reveal Next Week

I'm sort of looking forward to this. Not even a big fan of AC but AC:U was just such an inspiring game for me as an environment artist. I must have spent 40-50 hours in the game just looking at things.

I ended up skipping Unity after the launch issues, so I expect to be highly blown away by this.

I haven't genuinely gotten into an AC since AC2, which I played to death. Maybe I just burnt myself out on the formula. I'm kind of feeling ready for it again though.

London is a potentially excellent setting, although I expect that it'll mean little non-city play. I wonder if the characters will all have French accents this time.

I was bummed out from the first one and never wanted to play any other, just because it wasn't what it was first announced to be.

 

But I must confess I was a little tempted by Black Flag and Unity, guess the lush graphics on top of everything. But also the action, I mean I always liked from AC the incredible traversing and fight was decent. It's just that they kept pumping it with stuff that clearly just serves the purpose of boosting game length instead of making it better.

 

Think that if it was much shorter, I would put my hand on the wallet.

Hah same here, whenever I actually started playing missions my enjoyment would usually go down considerably tho, so I'd spend most of my time just looking for collectables The co-op was really good tho.

 

Curious about this one, I really like that games in these historic settings are being made with these kinds of production values, I just wish that the part where you actually play the game was enjoyable. Hopefully this one will be different

[Pampers]

Just wish they would add some skill to the climbing parts, holding down forward and a "climb" button is almost insulting

[Vorontsov]

How fast don't these fucking games come out lol?

[blackdog]

Can't deny their production line is impressive

They don't even fix their previous games?

[blackdog]

Despite people complaining, I never had problems with their games

[Steppenwolf]

They actualy fixed AC:U. By the time i was playing it (january) it was almost bug free from my perspective. Had maybe two crashes and a dozen minor glitches in all the hours i played.

[Sentura]

They have multiple studios working in succession on these titles, kind of like CoD has. Considering the sheer manpower they're using I think it's slightly less impressive how they churn this out.

[Thrik]

I did really like the look of Unity, it gave me similar vibes that I recall from AC2. Is the story good though or is it just a churn of side-quest crap?

[Steppenwolf]

I don't know how the story compares. Was the first AC i played after AC1 and only watched my nephews play the other ones every christmas for a bit. Personaly i cared more for the environments and atmosphere then for the story. The free DLC was quite nice albeit a little short. I would say if you can get it at a discount and have a beefy PC to run it in all its glory then you get enough bang for the buck out of it. It's not a game that i would buy at day 1 full price for gameplay reasons only but its well worth it if you can get something out of studying the art.

So yea i think i'm gonna pass. Not feeling this at all. Looks like a big step back from Unity with regards to environment and atmosphere, which is the one thing that got me interested in the first place.
