Assassin's Creed gets the lowest scores in it's history , Pun intended

[NateGSR117]

Thank god I didn't get this game on the promotional code from nvidia

[pk-man]

translation: Ubisoft didn't pay the review sites enough $$$.  Ubisoft also didn't provide them with early access copies either.

Really?

 

 

hahaha dafuq?

Can Ubisoft just please die already so that someone else can buy the franchise and take it back to what it used to be? I love AC, but I hate what Ubisoft is doing with it.

Assassin's Creed is a dying franchise, just like COD.

i dont think cod is dying. thats what i used to think but unless there is a better FPS then it wont. imean how did halo die. cod 4 came along. there hasent really been a better FPS out there that can really eat that thing up. 

[SkilledRebuilds]

who do you know that honestly plays cod for the sp?

Me. Every time.

I've finished every single COD SP experience since COD2.

I don't always do SP first, but I always get round to finishing the SP campaign.

I dream of a world where this is somehow actually Tech News...

Do you buy the game for the sp or do you just play it because its there? Because those are two separate thing.

I buy the game for SP+MP together, I like both, but I don't steer clear of the SP forever even if I buy a game for MP.

But for COD, yeah I do buy it for SP 'to a degree'

If COD released a MP only title, I'd be annoyed SP was missing.

I completely agree, it seems as if once they added multiplayer the game went downhill. Could be a coincidence, but when Brotherhood released and I heard that it had multiplayer, I instantly knew this series was going downhill. I stopped playing AC after Brotherhood and I don't regret that decision.

The multiplayer is completely apart from the singleplayer. AC games have never been about multiplayer.

 

Depending on who you ask, 2 and Brotherhood are both regarded as the best in the series. I personally liked all of them, including AC1, since it was testing the waters with something fairly new. AC2 improved upon it immensely, and each subsequent game took several features of the past game and improved it on a larger scale: rebuilding Rome in Brotherhood (compared to Villa in AC2). Revelations improved upon rebuilding the Assassin Brotherhood. AC3 added naval combat, AC4 took it to unparalleled levels. AC: Unity likely tried something different too (haven't had the opportunity to try it), such as user-determined missions. Maybe the next one would make it more sandboxy. 

 

I enjoy AC games for many things, one of which being the attention to detail and historical accuracy/authenticity.

I got bored with the "Climbing and stabbing" gameplay 5 hours into Assassin's Creed 1. How other people made it through 4 games, I'll never know.

 

Brotherhood had an amazing world, which was incredibly immersive, pretty, deep and just fun to explore. none of the games since have made any improvements in my opinion.

If you say that, you've clearly not experienced the Naval combat in AC4 in its entirety. 

[tobi]

Wow. Swedish game site fz.se gavs it 5/5.

I played AC4 to 50% total completion (only got through a tiny bit of the story as I spent most of my time sailing and exploring) and I concede that yes, AC4's naval combat is the best new feature of any AC title since. Still, I don't think it tops the atmospheric masterpiece that was brotherhood, and the core mechanics of AC4 remain identical to those in Brotherhood.

 

May I also remind you that Brotherhood already had the beginnings of the naval combat you see in black flag. It just took them three more games before they sold it as a brand new title.

YMMV

I have really high hopes for Far Cry 4 now...

[That Norwegian Guy]

There is only one good Assassin's Creed, and that game is Dishonored.

I own that game. I'll play it next. 

[Briggsy]

word on the street is that if you play Unity offline, the performance doubles... are Ubisoft data mining your behaviour while you play, or full on mining with your machine?

 

glad I am bored with AC and didn't buy it.

I wish I couldn't agree with this but it's true. Not to sound like a hipster but I loved it when it was a niche franchise yet big enough for sequels to be made with great care and attention to detail. Annualized franchises are the worst thing to happen to the games industry. Quality has taken a huge plunge because of it.

[Lord Baal]

The difference is that advanced warfare is actually good.

I wouldn't go that far it's better then the last few but I'd still call it complete shit aimed at 13 year olds and still wouldn't play if it were free.

[ExDreamer]

7.8, 7 and 6.5 are "the lowest scores in history"?

 

I concede that the games are shit straight from the first one to now, but jesus christ what the fuck happened to a proper scoring system. It's like anything below 5 is stuff to wipe your arse with and anything below 7 is worth it if you can pillage it from your neighbours when they're brutally murdered for having bad taste.

 

It kinda adds to the multitude of reasons as to why people are getting sick of all these big name sites, I guess.

6 or 7 scores mean something like this "We do not think that this is a good game but we kinda want next ubisoft game review copy.And we do not want to ruin our relationship with ubisoft so lets just give it a 7"

[Doobeedoo]

People needs to instantly react and stop buying a game if they lack so much quality cause of stupid and greedy reasons.
