I actually loved black flag when it came out, but nowadays I can’t stand playing it. It feels so boring compared to any of the other games. Especially the ship combat which I feel was better in rogue, if we wanna go there it was probably better in odyssey too. And Edward isn’t that interesting to me. I’m currently getting ready to replay the game again, so if I change my mind I’ll come back to this comment, as of now this is where I stand.

Hot Take - an assassins creed game set in Ireland in the 1920s would be incredible. There’s already an Irish assassin from this time period. You could have the British as the templars and the Irish rebels as the assassins. You could have guns but they would be very limited. Similar to the ones from syndicate.

I wouldn't say the rpg games were overhated. they had great storylines and were incredible in terms of open world exploration unlike previous games. their problem was the parkour system didn't really fit in with what AC games were known for. when I hear Assassin's Creed, I think of a MC climbing up a wall by using things like windows and bricks and small ledges but the rpg games did away with that by allowing players to scale a 90 degree wall without anything to grab onto

Hot Take - Black Flag is more responsible than any single AC game for the series turning away from being an assassin game and story set in a time period and genre to a time period and genre game set in the assassin's universe. Black Flag is one of my personal favourite games of all time (a bit of nostalgia bias I admit) but it was a pirate game first and foremost and an assassins creed game second, but it sold well and reviewed spectacularly and even to this day is still regarded as one of the best in the franchise and best pirate game ever. The following games Unity and Syndicate were more AC games first and time period and genre games second but didn't sell nor reviewed as well as Black Flag which caused Ubisoft to panic and since then Ubisoft has been trying to recapture the adoration Black Flag still has which in their mind means leaning more into the time period and genre the game is set in, be it pirate, Viking, mythological Greek, rather than focusing on the assassin side. Again, I love Black Flag but looking back on it now I realise Ubisoft learnt all the wrong things from the game as it so often does.

If I remember correctly, AC Unity was planned as a 2016 game, a five year dev cycle from 2011, and then rushed by the publisher. So, judging by this, imagine how underbaked story and gameplay are. It mirrors AC1 (another game rushed 2 years in advance) in so many ways but suffers even more, at least in AC1 the story is so immersive that you can forgive a lot of setbacks.

This is more of a dream for me but if you don't like it, I guess you could consider it a hot take. 😅 I want an Assassin's Creed game based on the modern day. I know people will not like this because of possible controversy or something but it'll be awesome if done right. I mainly want an Assassin's Creed game based on the future. I know we got something similar in Watch Dogs Legion with the character DLC but I would love for a full on futuristic game with Assassins. Note: the thing that gets me hyped for a futuristic game in the Assassin's Creed world. Is picture a Male assassin for example wearing a nanosuit but an assassin vibe teleporting into a group of enemies and using hidden blades made out of nanotech or something. It looks so damn cool in my head 😅.

Hot Take: Odyssey's optimistic tone was the right choice. Assassin's Creed has always been more enjoyable for me when the games chose a more upbeat tone. Whether it was Edward's cockiness and wit, the Frye's bantering, Kassandra's optimistic outlook, or Ezio's determination to help and succeed, Assassin's Creed was always more fun when the characters were having fun and hopeful. Valhalla was the antithesis of that for me, and it’s so far been the only game I haven't enjoyed. Eivor never felt like she had any fun, or sense of hope. Just the opposite, she was entirely focused on preventing a prophecised future, and it was that tone that killed the game more than anything else.

Hot Take: (long one here) while i love ezios story and character, and i find ac2 and brotherhoods worlds to look amazing. I personally find the ezio trilogy, in terms of actual openworld/gameplay. To be quite boring. I found the parkour (while prolly best in terms of control) to be boring and the combat to be very mundane (and yes, ac1 is one of my favorite games and first one i ever played) But going from ac1 to ac2 i was almost rather disappointed. Even the missions at points in ac2 to be kind of boring to play. Not to say ac1 was really rinse and repeat and boring. As for revelations, while i love the opening, ending and Altair memories, I find Ezio's story outside of finding the memories of Altair (templar plot, love interest) to be very boring and almost just filter so the game can be a couple hours long and openworld

To argue my point about firearms, I don’t believe it breaks the creed. For one someone needs to see you using the gun. If you find a good spot (like on a roof top or in a building) sure people will hear the shot and will see someone die but that doesn’t mean they’ll immediately see you. And second, most Templars are prominent figures who usually make more enemies then just the Brotherhood, if one of them are assassinated sure it could be the brotherhood, but as shown in watchdogs it could also just be a random killing from an unrelated party or a different group. And lastly, even if someone finds out that the man killed is a Templar, there is no clause in the creed saying you can’t reveal the enemy to the world. While guns are loud they’re also quick, an assassination doesn’t necessarily need to be quite provided it happens so fast that no one knows what’s going on.

This is valid, however Hot take: I just don't see how the RPG games of the Assassin's Creed Franchise really fit within it. Now don't get me wrong I still watched gameplay of it because I was intrigued at least a little in Eivor and Bayek, but regardless it was just not fun to watch or play when I got it myself. The RPG aspect in assassin's creed always felt odd to me, not because of Nostalgia but because Stealth, Exploring, hell even fighting was genuinely boring. Odyssey just has the spear thing so you can just get a dual stealth assassination from a dude who's like 20 meters away, the abilities made it literally just a get out of jail free card. Now moving back, I'm not saying stealth was NON-EXISTENT. but it wasn't enjoyable as it was in Assassin's creed 2, 3, Unity, etc. At least for me whenever I think of an Assassin I think of a stealthy killer. None of the new games have that. Is it Biased? Probably, I mean I find the old games just to be more fun in general than any of the RPG new ones. I like RPG games, but It doesn't fit in Assassin's creeds whole style. The combat, I can say was kinda fun? I didn't enjoy having to use like L2 and R2 for an attack button. I can literally only praise the combat, because that's honestly all it had. It was technically "open" world, but with nothing to do. The same problem Black flag had. It was GREAT, don't get me wrong. But the small islands black flag had were literally useless. The only reason I went there was to catch predators/prey for the cool hunting feeling. With all the RPG game's it has that exact problem, the world is MASSIVE, but it's so big that most of it is inhabited. Most of Odyssey I had to stay afk on my phone because trying to travel on a horse who had honestly in my opinion HORRIBLE AI and controlling was so bad that I genuinely would rather just let it do the auto course that would take like 10 minutes longer. The RPG games feel dry, and the only one you can say that isn't dry is literally just Origins. I feel like there's 3 assassins creed game that complete all 3 pillars, AC 2 having combat, AC Unity having Stealth, and the last being parkour, Needing Unity's Animations while having the functions of literally any AC game like under black flag.

hot take, AC needs to stop having the fake choice of character gender while also outright stating which is the canon one. I think it'd be a better use of Ubi's time and money to give up one character who is canon. I don't care if I'm playing as a dude or chick, just as long as they are decently written, you can still have all the dialog options you want, just focus on making that one character consistent and well developed. Also, it doesn't feel good getting 80 hours into a game just to be told my character choice isn't canon so giving a set character prevents those issues. I was very happy to see Basim in Mirage with no other options.

Hot Take: To say there is little to no element of stealth built into newer AC games is not true. You just have to make that decision, hence the different equipment builds. Often it favours open combat but a lot of the side content balances that out with stealth opportunities. Best of both worlds to attract different types of players.

HOT TAKE: RPG games were definitely a mistake and it's not even about being nostalgic to the past. Even comparing Unity/Syndicate and Origins/Odyssey you can see the downgrade in mechanics. Those games came out in same 4 year time span. There is no parkour in RPG games, there is no social stealth in RPG games. 2 tenants of what makes an AC game an AC game is lost, what you're left with is combat which many games already does better than AsCreed. Some people say gameplay is better due to being more "challenging" but I disagree when I see enemies who can't even react to being in fire. Guards used to abandon their weapons and escape from Ezio/Altair if they killed so many guards back to back. That never happens in RPG creed.

If they fleshed out the old formula, these games would be GOTY material. The mechanics of the old games were so good, but not fully polished. The old formula is what made assassin's creed, assassin's creed. Now its just genetic, soulless RPG games. They don't feel like AC anymore. Unfortunately, ubi won't listen cause they prefer the quick cash grabs AC is known for now. But at the same time we should be voicing our opinions. Hopefully, maybe, ubi will eventually listen. Probably when the series really stops selling so much.

Unity and Rogue were both ruined by that stupid release deadline "oh they have to release on the same day, hurr durr" Unity needed more than just bug fixes, though. You can clearly see that huge chunks of story were cut out. I suppose the same could be said for Rogue. It's a shame, because Unity had the potential to be a masterpiece. Ubisoft Montreal's magnum opus.... But they rushed it. There is no game in history with more wasted potential than Unity.

Brotherhood was boring for me because it was my 6 or 7th time plying it. I wasn't looking forward to revelations. It just isn't one of my favorites. Still ok. Ac3. I didn't remember alot about this game since I haven't played it since it came out. I'm currently playing it now. I can't wait to replay black flag and rogue again. I'm excited to replay origins and syndicate as well. I'm not really looking forward to replaying odyssey again, and I'm definitely not replaying vahalla.

to the guy and others who think that the early games have weak open worlds. i think you are judging the games for something they dont try to do. in the games 1 through 3 the open world was not meant to be explored, it was there to make the story more believable and to enhance gameplay and the collectables was there to do for people who was done with the game but didn't want to stop playing. the only game that has a good open world by todays standard is origins in my opinion. that is because locations in games need an in game reason to exist and it is the only game in the franchise that has proper environmental storytelling and lore for its locations and caracters. the other games only reason to have locations seems to be for the loot and bad pussles, and the caracters are not taken seroiusly at all they seem to only be there for a cheap laugh over a sex joke most of the time. the stealth wasn't bad in the older games it was diffferent, and now its just the same crouch stealth system that we have in every game ever. adding crouch stealth was something we wanted but getting rid of the unique socialstealth and tools was not ideal, it robbed the franchise of its personality, charm and gameplay. with that said i still love the newer games for the open world action adventure games they are, but they are a different experience completely. PS. ac 2 is overrated if you don't play for the story or the parkour... BUT if you are like me and do play the old games for that then it is the best in the franchise. no other game has a map as good as ac2 when it comes to parkour. it might not be as flashy as unity but the player freedom and skill ceiling is unmatched, every game after the ezio trillogy got to automated in my opinion. and the story is like an interactive film wich i think is nice. the scenes are shot very good and the plot was interesting. PPS. i hope they continue with the rpg stuff (but not the magic) and the current combat (but fine tuned better) but that they include whats good from back in the day like dynamic social stealth not the press button to enter group. urban areas to be made for parkour, stealth and with traversal in mind like the old. parkour should have proper and consistent trajectories so that jumps, back and side ejects becomes more predictable (and even possible in some cases).

If anything, his father, Hytham is far more interesting and nuanced as a character. The biggest plot twist in the game is when he revealed that he is actually a Templar. The reason it's so shocking is because we always assumed Templars were evil and that Assassins were the good guys. I always feel that AC Rogue came out at the wrong time. If it had come out before AC Black Flag it would have been much more appealing.

The best time period for an Assassin's Creed game here in Brazil would have to be the ending of the empire and start of the republic.

Hot Take: Assassins creed never really was a stealth game until Unity. 1 was the only game were the “hide in plain sight” mechanic really work. The Ezio trilogy was very hand holding, you have your Right path and if you leave it mission fail. 3, Black Flag und Rogue have more stealth option like the stalker zones but 3 has like the aggressive enemy detaction to this day where if one enemy spot you, you can kiss stealth goodbye. Black Flag and Rogue works most of the time and with Unity Assassins Creed can be name a stealth game. And with the point of “the rpg games are great” they are great. Learn from the past but don't live exclusively in it.

The Ezio trilogy was very half and half for stealth and combat, I believe 2 had more stealth missions since combat wasn’t that great. But in brotherhood a lot of the stealth came from full sync requirements of “do not get detected” if you did those there is a LOT of stealth. But there was also a lot of combat because of the chain killing system they wanted to show off. But no, AC has always been a stealth game. Most of the time in brotherhood and revelations it was just a choice to use stealth or not. Crossbow in both games which was exclusively stealth based, better throwing knives, poison darts, even the hidden gun could be used for stealth. Just because Unity has a crouch button does not mean it was the “first” stealth game.

Hot take: We need more Assassin's Creed games taking place in the Medieval era, because I find it curious how that era was only picked up in AC1, parts of Revelations, and parts of Unity (and side games). I mean AC Unity's intro truly shows that going back to that era of Assassin's Creed is promising, especially for long-time fans of the series Another one would be a more connected Modern Day between the games, for example, I find it frustrating how Juno gradually became built on in Revelations, 3, Black Flag and Rogue, then not Unity, then Syndicate, only for her to die in a comic. One way I could see this put into place is through Assassin's Creed Infinity's hub, with potential cutscenes, or potentially as free playable updates to the past games, still thanks to Infinity, but the playable aspect of it seems very idealistic..

A weird idea that I had was to have a game that is set in either WW1 or WW2 as well as having sections that take place in modern day, gameplay would be heavily oriented towards stealth (like Splinter-Cell or Metal Gear), since that is what I kind of miss from the RPG part of the series. Firearms would be present, but would need proper execution, maybe make them limited in ammo and weight, so you can carry a pistol, or carbine, maybe even a bow, but no Machine Guns(maybe make it an unlockable when you beat the game?), all while trying to move undetected from trench to trench, scavenging for ammo and resources, using mud or playing dead to avoid detection.

Hot take Regarding silenced pistols: Desmond actually uses one in AC3 after getting it from Daniel Cross, but there is really no stealth involved with it. You just use it to onetap enemies along the way who are instantly aggressive to you, which is a wasted potential to me. So it would have been nice to have a few more modern missions with Desmond where you actually get a silenced pistol later on and use it for stealth kills from afar. Abstergo goons would also use their pistols more often against you in combat, because it makes no sense they hit you with sticks, at least after Warren orders them to kill you.

The fantasy elements and monsters feel way too alien for the franchise that is historical sci-fi with a mostly grounded touch, and the Assassins and Templars are almost completely sidelined. It’s not nostalgia, I haven’t even played the Ezio trilogy or ac1 until years after they came out and those games are all in my top 5 along with black flag.

Saying that people who live through hard times can't have a sense of humor and more optimistic view on life, is instead what I find a strange conclusion. Especially since you gave Evie and Jacob a pass on this as well, who unprofessionally make jokes as they're slitting people's throats. And it's not like their time period is all sunshine and rainbows either. I actually like the change of pace Odyssey offered through it's lighter and funnier delivery. But that's just me.
