end rant Seriously have people who say this even played it or invested in the assassin tree? once you unlock skills and abilities this is more than a viable stealth option in most cases. Combat in earlier games was forced as well but in set pieces..This is a refined assassins creed experience. Just because stealth isnt forced but your choice now does not make this not assassins creed...end rant

User Info: idonliketurtles idonliketurtles 1 year ago #2 No actual assassin robes/outfits (unless you want to wear the old legacy ones), no hidden blade, still trying hard with the Dark Souls-clone combat. Not my Assassins Creed, glad they're giving this series another big development pause to go back to the drawing board.

What a pointless rant. Assassins Creeds have always had the same core story points. This game doesn't have the hidden blade, assassin order, or templar order. Without them this is just a third person action game using the Assassins Creed title to generate sales. If you retitled Breath of the Wild and called it Assassins Creed Odyssey it would have about as much in common to the Assassins Creed franchise as this game does. The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either. ~ Benjamin Franklin What a pointless rant. Assassins Creeds have always had the same core story points.

So you never wanted a story that explaing the background to the fractions or pre blade era? I havent finished the story but assume it ties in with overaching story....So you have to have a hidden blade to enjoy this experience and for it to be assassins creed? The spear plays exactly like the hidden blade...You even played it or just assuming based on videos? So you never wanted a story that explaing the background to the fractions or pre blade era?

This is pre assassin era since Bayek and his wife started the whole thing. I am enjoying this so far and do think this is an improvement over Origins which was also great.

Yep and I don't really care what narrative excuse the writers at Ubisoft are coming up with nowadays to justify the latest AAA stinker they have. I played AC titles to be an assassin, not fulfill a Spartan power fantasy with clunky Dark Souls combat & RPG mechanics. AC4 avoided the entire Assassin-Templar plot for the most part and did it well because it still had the core gameplay that made AC fun. Odyssey, Origins & Syndicate (to a lesser extent) completely abandoned this series identity.

Think of it like this characters like Darius, Wei Yu and Iltani were proto assassins, and out of all of them Darus is the only one that had a hidden blade, AC odyssey is basically a proto assassin game PSN: ScreamKing09 Think of it like this characters like Darius, Wei Yu and Iltani were proto assassins, and out of all of them Darus is the only one that had a hidden blade, AC odyssey is basically a proto assassin game
