minus-squareyunglucifer@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoWeird, Assassin’s Creed died with 2 when they fired the creator.
minus-squarekingthrillgore@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoSad because 2 is where it hit its stride
minus-squareBlaiz0r@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoIs that why the third one never concluded the series as it was originally intended?
minus-squareMaggiWuerze@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoProbably more to do with boatloads of money to be made
minus-squareRightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoOkay but Black Flag slapped. Maybe not as an AC game per se, but Black Flag was still a greater game.
minus-squarericdeh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoAnd Rogue. I rarely hear Rogue mentioned but it’s my favourite. I find the story the most appealing, and it comes with so much moral ambiguity.
minus-squareVindictiveJudge@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoGameplay-wise, Rogue is even better than Black Flag. Narratively, Rogue is a disaster fueled by Shay being painfully stupid.
minus-squareeRac@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoBeing released at the same time as the significantly more modern (and unpopular) Unity didn’t do Rogue any favors.
minus-squareSenseless@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoAgreed. Black Flag was awesome. Never finished the story though. Just sailing, singing shanties.
minus-squarehalcyoncmdr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoBlack Flag was a mediocre Assassin’s Creed game, at best. It was a phenomenal pirate game
