Assassin's Creed Minge

I suppose it depends how much you liked the original games.

I agree completely that it's more of the same, but it's more of the same that we haven't had in quite a few years.

Didn't realise that, thanks for the info

Just copy Hitman in an Assasins Creed world. It's amazing for a game about Assasins, that you don't do much stealthy killing. Even in the early games it turned into a Benny Hill style chase because the stealth was shite.

And for those who know what they are doing its even cheaper than £45. £37.95 from game collection for a PS5 copy or if you "visit" Turkey you can get it for around £21 store.playstation.com/en-tr/product/EP0001-PPSA13960_00-EDITIONSTANDARD0

I wasn't a fan of digital but prices like this are difficult to ignore.

No, that starts with the next one.

Origins was a genuine shakeup to the formula in a setting that most people were clamouring for. Odyssey was more of the same, just more refined and expanded out to a ridiculous degree of the same content that wasn't really warranted. And Valhalla was...fine, reduced in size but still overtly long, repetitive and spent far far too much time doing missions where the majority of your time was spent receving the quest then travelling to a point on the map and then doing whatever it is you needed to do which ended in a few minutes. Similarly, game balance got out the window. Once you got the ability to shoot two arrows at the same time, I was defeating end game bosses in 3 shots usually.

I think I'll always have some interest in what they do and where they go and with Mirage I'm appealed at knowing the game is scaled back in scope and size. The Wrath of the Druids DLC for Valhalla was prob the best part about that game, the size of the map and the campaign just right. I wouldn't mind if they went back to making it less of an RPG now but I doubt they will, with the fact that they have all the cosmetics and equipment to sell in the store. I do recognise that it needs another shake up and the overarching story at this point is pointless, perhaps they have just burnt out on that formula. But it's their biggest IP that still sells well, Valhalla I think is the biggest seller so they're not stopping.

It all sounds like a more simplified game, everything they shown here for example is pretty much everything we've already seen. Guess it all depends then on the story/setting

I loved AC2, mostly because of the renaissance setting and climbing/exploring all these famous historic buildings. I didn't get on with Black Flag and I liked Unity for the story (and again the historic setting).
Odyssey though, that was absolutely fantastic! I loved the action RPG-lite style. Yes, it might be a bit too large for its own good, but I just loved being in that world. Still want to have a go at Origins (but other games keep getting in the way).

If this is going back to "it's roots", then I'll pass. I never cared that much about the "assassin" side of things.

I know this is a budget title but I would have thought by this stage they'd have more fluid animations for the movement.

Though I suppose parkour hasn't been a focus since Unity

The games release date has been moved forward a week, to October 5th.

Won't be playing it until Christmas but will be curious about the reviews. 6's or 7's I'm predicting.

That haptic feedback vest being released with the game also seems nuts.

Same Spooky, same. I hope there's loads of cool armour/outfits you can wear.

I'm a slut for a fancy vambrace

I recently finished this and thought it was quite good. The cast is a bit weaker than normal but the length and the gameplay were just what I was in the mood for at the time.

Much closer to an older AC game than the last 3.
