The side that isn't getting up in arms over historical inaccuracies in the AC series, which has always been at best "history adjacent" and heavy on embellishment anyway?
Certainly you don't mean the side that waited until the embellishment involved a black person to start giving a fuck right?
Yeah, I've heard the story is... not a particularly strong aspect of the game to put it nicely. Maybe like, a 90% sale. I'd pay $7.99 for it! I bet I could get it down to a buck an hour at least at that price.
lol, that's a fair take. Though I do love learning about history in games. And I enjoy when games allow me the chance to live out some childhood fantasy. So in that sense, I do care about the color of pixels, and shape, and implied fiction behind it all.
But different strokes for different folks.
This game has been such a hard litmus test for "what would it take to get you to purchase another Assassins Creed game?" for me.
Like, "Would you buy it if it was just a genuienly good Assassins Creed game?" - Paid Ubisoft Reviewer
"No, I've played them during their heyday and I'm a bit over the formula" - Tired Inner gamer
"But what if it had Samurai, including the certified BAMF Yasuke?" - Ubi Devs
"hmm... I do love Samurai and Yasuke... but no, I don't think that would do it. I don't like Ubisoft's business practices and would rather not support it even if it speaks to my inner Chanbara nerd." - Inner Anti-corpo voice
"Not even if Ubisoft was taking a strong stance against the Anti-Woke nonsense culture wars? You couldn't even let their business practices go for just one game?" - Ubi Marketing team
"No no no, I know that businesses only take these stances when it's profitable. They would just as easily take the opposite opinion if that was where the money was at." - Inner cynic voice
"But what if we dunked on Elon, on his own platform no less?" - AC twiiter account
"okay...I'm in... but only when it goes on a good Steam sale" - Defeated sense of self
Flexin that vocab!
That's fair, and in that case I'm glad that it never stopped being touted as a virtue.
Even if there have always been selfish idiots who fail to learn that lesson ruining it for the rest of us.
Wouldn't want it near me or my home, but it's kinda cute in a way. Like, just a mama with her babies, not hurting anybody.
- New Vegas
- FFXIV
- Sekiro
- Morrowind
- Does EmuDeck count as ''a game''?
When was that? Surely you don't mean the 50's?
With house prices that good, I can't afford not to die!
Oh god, I hear people take 50+ hours on this one, if that turns out to be 42+ of cut scenes I'm out.
But honestly, doubt I could finish the game at all. I think I'd lose interest in about 8 hours, maybe 12? I have a tendency to drop overly long open world games randomly, even when I'm actively enjoying them. It's a problem.
But if they don't let me skip the overly long cut scenes... I would probably have a hard time coming back after the first night. You gotta be real good at your job to get me to watch a movie when I wanna be playing a game.
