The Thread where I air my grievances with the Assassins' Creed series SPOILERS EVERYWHERE

I think I would only call Odyssey a "looter" rpg. Valhalla had loot but it was a lot more focused. Odyssey was the one that was like Nioh where you're constantly picking up endless crap.
Semantics, I know, whatever, but I do personally dislike when loot is about quantity. It's actually one reason I got tired of when I tried Diablo 4, I dunno how people enjoy looking at pictures of gear with numbers so much.
Ubisoft keeps fucking up on the promotional material.

Ubisoft Apologizes to Japanese Historical Re-Enactment Group for Using Its Flag in Assassin's Creed Shadows Art Without Permission - IGN
Ubisoft has apologized after using a Japanese historical re-enactment group's flag in concept art for Assassin's Creed Shadows without permission.
Fascinating. I wonder if Ubisoft actually determined that there was significant negative response from actual Japanese people. Didn't expect them to address this in any way.
Although weird that they posted the English version first...
I've been playing through the series. I started with Odessey, strangely, played Origins, and then went back and did the first game and the Ezio trilogy. Having finished those I'm up to AC3 and now I'm losing interest. They are all so similar that they blend into one. I 100% think you need long breaks in between AC games. I will finish them all, but I'm having a break for a few months.
*nods*
I can happily replay the first four games in a row because, by today's standards, they're relatively short, and I do love them. But the thought of playing any of the others back-to-back gives me a headache lol. And I still like this series!
Isn't it funny that despite how much criticism the series gets for being so generic, it remains fairly unique in the gaming landscape? No one else does parkour assassin adventure period pieces. It's just that there's so goddamn many AssCreed games, and in such a short amount of time too. Imagine if they stuck to the annual release model...
Every now and then I get curious about delving back into this series, but I think it would need to be with God mode turned on because I’m only interested in the parkour traversal and the settings. The fact they play fast and loose with history just means I might as well be playing Uncharted for the superior production values regarding story stuff.
After Outlaws, i have no hope in this game anymore. Even if they do the RPG thing again like Odyssey I will not be buying this game.
