Destructoid - Ezio, Ezio, wherefore art thou Ezio? After the sprawling adventures of the young Italian in Assassin's Creed II and the slightly less grand adventure chasing the Borgias in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, we can finally say goodbye to the now grizzled and milked-for-all-his-worth Renaissance-era Adonis.
"Hello everyone, we have more details to share concerning the upcoming decommissioning of online services affecting several AC titles, including additional information regarding the DLC for these titles."
When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.
The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.
Xfire writes "Worldbuilding is a crucial part of any story. It's not an easy task to create a believable setting with its own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations and then weave a story into the said setting. Luckily, storytellers and video game writers don't always need to create complex settings when we've got history books as thick as Big Chungus.
Historical eras make a fabulous setting for video games. They've already got the world-building nailed, complete with their own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations. Honestly, I don't think I need to justify the fact that historical eras make an amazing setting for video games. If you don't believe me, just go ahead and play the Ghost of Tsushima or any of the Assassin's Creed games."
The first crusade would be pretty sweet. I’d probably enjoy any of those on your list if they were done respectfully. Like not some dork in Portland making a Russian Revolution game.
Benin Empire, Far East, Central America. Games are pretty biased toward Europe, North America, and the Middle East. There is a very big world out there.
Fans of Assassin’s Creed will want to check out a new Build Your Own Bundle featuring ten different games from Ubisoft’s popular action-adventure franchise.
You know a game comes out too often when we’re getting BYOB (Build-your-own-bundle) deals! And this cheap? Good deal for parkour lovers! Haha!!
What Ill be doing for valhalla, wait for a sale. Ac and far cry games go really cheap pretty quick. Picked up fc5 for $5 and Odyssey for $10.
Or just wait til Ubisoft gives em out for free lol. they've practically given out all the AC games for free, as well as both Watch Dog games, and Rayman. Ubisoft is weird
i cannot see a ac game getting less that a 8.5
What the heck 7.5!
I thought it would be AT LEAST an 8.5.
Hate to say it, but this is pretty much I was expecting. Three annual releases in a row? That's practically begging for a drop in quality no matter how much material you recycle.
Didnt they give like assassin creed 2 a 4/10 or something like that before.
I think Ezio having 3 parts to his story hardly qualifies for "Milked for all his worth".
1) Young Ezio getting started story,
2) In his prime Ezio taking over the guild story,
3) Ageing Ezio well past his prime and entering the last years of his life story,
I don't really think that all the talk of milking it is really fair just yet, it's only been 3 games.
The first was good but had it's flaws, the second one improved dramatically on the first as it addressed most of the flaws, and ACB although not innovating the series still added some new things and added to the story and stayed relevant.
I do hope though that AC3 takes a big jump and really impresses or else the talk of milking will actually start to be more than just people complaining a bit unfairly.
Mind you I have yet to play the game.... I am basing my opinion more on the attitude some people had to Brotherhood.... maybe after playing ACR I will taste the lactose.... I don't think so though.... it seems that the game is a genuine attempt to complete the story while adding enough new things to keep it from feeling stale!
