Worst Assasins Creed story yet?

[Tusked-Lattice]

Anyone agree? 

Assassins Creed generally doesn't have an amazing story or anything but it's usually above average for a video game, I'm at least halfway through this one by now and while I think the game itself is actually pretty good gameplay wise despite the new levelling up system just being there to artificially make the main campaign game longer. by making you do tons of random side quests I think it's pretty good 

 

Plot wise I think the game is terrible so far there hasn't been a single memorable assassination target  they've all been bland, 1 dimensional and I really don't care about him avenging his son.

By comparison I though Assasins Creed 3 which is well hated for many valid reasons had a way more interesting story.

[Lowlliet]

I agree, I couldn’t care less about the story here. Personally, any “story” in AC series for me died with Desmond. Anything beyond that just doesn’t make sense anymore. 

 

Gameplay wise? It’s a great and nice change, although they just put in some well known and accepted ideas/mechanics from other games, so no surprise there people like it.

True. Fun gameplay, with quite terrible setting (hate all that sand), and story that after 1/3 of the game you just skip.

 

BUT ofc it is because we played a lot of games before. I can see that for someone less experienced it will be a interesting game to play.

[matigrosso91]

No, i don't agree at all. Maybe the final act is kinda weak in comparison, but for me is one of the best AC ever. And there is absolutely no way that AC 3 could be better than this one.

I haven't played it yet... but can it really be worse than Unity?

[BlindMango]

Glad I'm not the only one

 

Boring character

All over the place story

Obscene amount of pointless side activities (To get the platinum)

Lots of annoying barriers that force you to do pointless side activities

Map is 3 times as big as it should have been

And I could go on...

 

It's a solid experience, like all the foundations are there, but so many things they chose to do gameplay-wise made me go "Why?" In regards to story, after finishing it I really couldn't put together what the main idea for it was. Basically another famous Ubisoft "A person in my family was killed so I need revenge" stories?

I agree. I really enjoyed everything they added from the beautiful environment to the legendary weapons you could get. The combat was cool and the side quests had a ton of variety before they looped back into the repetitive state. However, the story was so bland that I don't even remember what happened or what the point of it was other than avenging his son. Didn't one of the bad guys say (I don't think i'd be spoiling anything by saying this because anyone who clicks this thread with the title should already have completed the story. If not and you click it anyway, given the context, then that's what you get.) that his son was pretty much a sacrifice and that killing him was the one thing that he doesn't regret doing? But why though? Did they even explain that? And there was literally not enough obvious tension between his wife and him to just call it quits at that point. The story left me with more questions than answers and for an origin story, I was not impressed. I don't think Ubisoft did the origin of the assassin's any justice at all but the game was pretty good in many other aspects.

Just wondering how you can think stuff like this 

 

is better than stuff like this

Haven't played that one largely because of how people reacted to it but assuming it actually takes time to develop its characters and plot then this would be worse.

[triplejmzu8]

It's difficult for me to decide. Actually, I liked this game a lot. I was also very interested in the world and story but there are only 3 main story scenes I still remember at this point: The beginning, the ending (which I really liked) including the last scene between Bayek and Aya and one scene in between. Also when Bayek and Aya met again in the first DLC. However, the rest was absolutely skippable and the historical characters as well as the targets/enemies were just no comparison to those from AC2/B for example as well as the whole story.

 

I feel like they focussed too much on re-creating the franchise, especially the gameplay, so they forgot that AC used to have a great and detailed story years ago. AC:O's story was too rushed when things were getting interesting and it felt too dragged out when nothing actually happened. I feel like overall is was just too flippant.

Actually yes, is way better, i loved the animalistic representations of the targets, and the mythological things around the journey to the Duat. I don't know why i'm really arguing with you when you say something like "the worst AC yet" when you didn't even played all the others, like Unity.

It's just one dimensional characters doing some incoherent blabbing vs some actual moral ambiguity and defending their position.

Assassin's Creed Origins is one of the best of the series, in my opinion, only beaten by Revelations. Great game, story, improved gameplay by a ton and the setting is amazing. Music is excelent, every time I load the game, I sit there for 3 minutes listening to the menu theme.

Ubisoft heard what the fans wanted and changed the core gameplay of the game. The gameplay this time around is far superior when compared to the others, not to mention no counter-button means more attention to enemies postition and some actual thinking of how to approach every encounter, either stealth, open combat or a bit of both. In this game, eagle vision actually means something, rather than a pulse that spots enemies instantly. 

 

Like @matigrosso91 said, every enemy Bayek encountered in the Duat, felt real and immersive. Bayek explained his reasons and heard theirs, for why he killed them, why it couldn't have been different, what consequences of their actions as well as Bayek's impact Egypt and it's people.

 

There is always going to be people who love this game and those who hate it, but don't go complain next time to Ubisoft saying this series is always the same, that the only thing that changes is the setting, because when they finally try something different, there is still people complaining, saying it's bad or to go back to what it was...

But why I am I even replying to you, you didn't even finish the main story and already making assumptions about the game.

And for the record Unity was good, besides the story and the bugs (even tho I only encountered one) playing this game with a friend/friends it's great.

 

I'm currently playing the 2nd expansion "Curse of the Pharaohs " and I'm having a blast. I returned to this game after a month and now I'm doing every main quest/side quest, unknown locations, killing animals to level up my gear, while taking picture every 5 steps I take.

From my point of view Assassin's Creed Origins is by far the best game of the series.

 

Great setting, great characters, the story was okay (kinda predictable) and fresh Gameplay ideas. 

 

The series is reborn thanks to this amazing game.

[Infected Elite]

combat is good but not much else.

ways too many pointless activities for plat. bland characters. pyramids were lackluster imo. 

 

I had a friend who she claimed this was part of a trilogy. but she's a stupid idiot who thinks even AC3 is a 10/10. so anything she says I generally ignore. point of reference is that there are some who think this story and 3 are pure gold. lol. 

 

but yeah combat good. everything else bad.

[sorhval]

Who plays an Assassin's Creed game for the story ?

[Feral]

Don't think it was the worst story but definitely not the best. Unity still owns the title of worst/most boring.

 

Origins is very much style over substance.

Just me apparently. 

Perhaps a few other since they felt it was worth making a movie about.

Anakin, is that you?

[Deluziion90]

Got the collectors edition on pc and 100%

Bought it Friday again and already got the platinum and currently rounding up on DLC

I love the game, I love the character and I'm probably one of the few people who actually hate Ezio.

 

I like the fact Bayek is just an agressive asshole who wants everything and everyone dead who was involved in his sons dead. On the other hand Ezio is this perfect guy who everybody loves and just a smooth fuckboy all round.

 

Just an opinion I respect everyone who favors a character over another but it's just the way I feel about the whole Ezio=Assassin's Creed

[DrBloodmoney]

No.

[Tusked-Lattice]

Man what a stupid ending, for most of the game you weren't even playing as the person who created the Assassins in the first place. 

[Oobedoob S Benubi]

Best Assassin's Creed game in a long time, there's some narmy lines in there but overall, I'd say best Assassin's Creed game yet.

 

Started on The Curse Of The Pharaohs now, first time I bought an AC DLC at full price.

 

@Tusked-Lattice I want to respect your opinion of the game being bad, to each their own and there's no debating taste, but you could do with respecting a bit that other people love this game. Yes actually, I thought the post-assassination discussions with the targets were the best yet in this game.

What are you talking about? You play as Bayek and Aya/Amunet. They created the assassins together - Bayek brought the drive and protecting the common people, Aya decided they should stick to the shadows and that they needed to look beyond Egypt. I thought this was a much better way of controlling two people than what Syndicate did.

 

I loved the ending, and I'm currently really enjoying what the DLC do with the Hidden Ones and the artifacts. Can't wait to hear what's in store for the next game.

 

Also, Unity gets bitched on too much in general, in my opinion. I didn't think it was amazing but I didn't think it was horrible either. Just forgettable, like III. Both passable games that have the misfortune of being in a franchise with better titles.

 

Also: I really enjoyed the movie.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.  Since well the movie takes place during the Spanish Inquisition.

The ending of Unity was absolute crap.  At least Origins had a proper ending.  Even an epilogue to boot.
