Remember those iconic games before 2014? The OG, while dated was really unique for its time, the Ezio Auditore Trilogy that became the standard for the franchise, 3, that was very ambitious (probably too much) with it’s setting and story telling. Even 4, although it was the first time AC escaped from the base of what an assassin’s creed game is supposed to be.
Unity was the very first big misstep and since then the franchise has become unrecognisable, taking gameplay and mechanics from batman games and now went into unnecessarily long, repetitive and bloated RPGs than the real fans of the series couldn’t care less, especially since the core legacy mechanics of parkour and missions were gone. Not only that but they completely threw the modern day story on the trash since Desmond’s death…
AC was one of the last original franchises a triple A company gave us and now is just a Witcher wannabe.
“Oh wth are you talking about, it sells well” sales doesn’t equal quality. The last games are such a step backwards for the series.
While I might or might not be one, no need to assume that someone is a dude.
I have played every single game and still have access to them. I cannot say that of many people.
If you wish to argue in good faith, never straight up assume someone is directly lying. Be an example for the internet and show good faith!
That said, that you think later games don’t have their own mythology, may be signs that you never played those games, because they also draw forth on those in-game mythologies. 'Course, I cannot say so, but if you haven’t, I suggest you to do so; and if you reject, then you have no right to complain, honestly. Complain once you’ve played through it.
In short: nuff.
(Yo I’m just some random guy not the OP, but)
Dude is kinda a gender neutral term, or rather like “guys” it can both be gender neutral or gender specific depending on context, “how are you guys doing” doesn’t actually mean “how are those of you who identify as male doing,” it means “what up?” Similarly, “Dude blah blah blah” is typically just an affectation in the speech of the individual, they just say “dude” a lot while talking, like people who say “like” a lot while talking. I am one of these people, I called my grandma dude because again, I simply say “dude” when I talk, not because I was insinuating she was trans.
It’s also functionally impossible for them to tell your gender or lack thereof from simply your name being TallNazi (or whatever it was I’m on mobile) and your posts arguing about the quality of Assassins Creed games, therefore I would bet that they didn’t call you dude specifically to misgender you but rather “because that’s how they always talk,” so I wouldn’t take it personally.
As for my side of the argument: my 360 RROD long ago, last one I played was 2 lmao, idk about the new ones!
