What went wrong?
Hard mode: Don't mention annualized releases.
>>332328528
Not enough innovation. Although I haven't played IV and newer.
>>332328642
Don't believe the lies. 4 is exactly the same with some tedious ship fighting thrown in.
The worst combat and platforming in any game I've played. That's what went wrong, and it stayed wrong.
>>332328528
Uninteresting locations, no development on the story since the cliffhanger ending of AC3,no modern day,boring dull characters and protagonists.
Ubisoft turning it into something that wasn't supposed to exist, prompting its creator to leave.
The series turned to shit the exact moment he left.

Formula got boring very quickly. First game already was a stretch. Movement Aaron's the city is OK, but it's not a purpose on its own. Most of the time it just feels like a drag... Because they got cool parkour mechanics so they just stuff it everywhere, all the time. It should have been a significantly smaller part of the game and ac would be gold
Removing features every game that were enjoyable in previous games. Example is horse riding, which of course was never a major selling point of Brotherhood and 3, but it was still kind of nice that they had it.

Splintering of the fanbase with all these spinoff's and added then removed in the next game features/game mechanics, as well no real innovation going on in the series
The combat, parkour, and stealth are all complete shit but they just stack more minigames on top of them instead of fixing them

But he made AC2, which was a step in completely the wrong direction.
They took free form assassinations and put scripting and constraints where they shouldn't be.
Syndicate was great. Unity was underrated.
>>332328528
i thought the paris one was a step in the right direction in terms of gameplay.
it became harder, and more tactical.
also the Co-op was a nice gimmick.
They took out the best thing about the game, competitive multiplayer.
>>332329234
I haven't played Unity or Syndicate can you explain what was unique about Syndicate.
>>332328528
>next one is inspired by Witcher 3
Going to be interesting to be quite honest.
>>332328528
Too many cooks in the kitchen. Everyone trying to do their own thing. No cohesive vision.
>>332329695
Probably not. UbiSoft are masters of bullshitting, hyping up, and then failing to live up to any measure of expectations

>Criticizes AC
>Thinks Uncharted is good
Uncharted are even less games than AC, they're generic linear cover shooters with mind numbing, scripted near unfailable "platforming" sections where nate unavoidably sticks to the wall. I can't for the life of me understand why people jerk these games off. AC has some unrefined elements and some tedious mission design, but Uncharted is shit almost the entire way. They're barley games, just slickly produced pusdo games with a small coat of charm and the most underwhelming guns in the entire PS3 era that NEVER GOT ANY BETTER. If you're going to make a third person shooter, make the guns at least fun to fire Naughty Dog.
The stories are probably the weakest part of these weak games.
>Nate wants to uncover some mystery surrounding a treasure
>Bad guy wants treasure
>Nate solves the mystery and the bad guy swoops in an takes the treasure
And this happens 3 FUCKING TIMES.
Because it became a stealth game that did nothing to actively reward you for being stealthy
>>332330226
Stealth was pretty rewarding in Unity
>>332328528
I've played through two games and I have no fuck idea of what's going on. It was a while back and maybe I'm not the most attentive player, but the whole Templar vs assassin shit with ancient artefacts and aliens or what the fuck was that could use some better explaining
>>332330586
How? By 100%'ing the game?
>>332328528
It stopped trying to be an assassin game after the first one, becoming historical GTA from the second onwards.
