It’s written Al makhfi-المخفي the hidden one in Arabic. They should have mentioned the brilliant artist name hatem arafa @hatem_arafa The eagle he designed for the soundtrack cover is Even more amazing.

I’m actually looking forward to an Assassin’s Creed game for the first time since AC3, has the modern day story gotten any more coherent?

bestturtleboy,

As far as I know - no I played Valhalla and enjoyed the gameplay but the story is just so gone now. I hope this new game has it brought back.

Are they still working on buffing the shit out of the same modern day protagonist as before or what? I only got about halfway through Odyssey (but looked up the ending) and skipped Valhalla.

Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow,

I still can’t believe they haven’t just ditched the modern day stuff

philycheezestake,

At this point I agree. I loved the modern day stuff up until the end of 3. But then Black Flag just made it a boring slog with maybe one or two good ideas.

Wumbologist,

In AC: Odyssey it gave you the option to outright skip the modern day sections

CarterDarter,

Not any personal interest in Black Flag? Tbf, my opinion is that it’s a great game but not a good Assassin’s Creed game

Lem453,

I can’t believe they didn’t create any mods for BF, could easily have been like Skyrim in terms of longevity. People would have added full on trading and fleet mods like the old school Syd Meyers games. What a waste of dev time to create so much potential and justet it die.

ArgentRaven,

Ubisoft did finally make a stand alone version that’s in beta right now. Skull and Bones. They promised all the cool stuff we wanted and it’s totally separate from assassin’s Creed, but unfortunately they seemed to have botched it and there’s even fewer features than in Black Flag. Ubisoft just doesn’t seem to be able to make anything else except progressively worse AC games.

callouscomic,

Hey! They also can drive Far Cry and all the Tom Clancy series into the ground, while also forgetting the rest of their beloved series even existed.

philycheezestake,

Oh I loved Black Flag but I wasn’t excited for it like the previous titles and the present day stuff was just kinda spinning it’s wheels while making meta jokes about Ubisoft.

CarterDarter,

Very fair! I go back to replay it with excitement and it always drops off my face when I remember how god awful the present day stuff is… can’t believe it took until Odyssey to give us an option to skip

Mirage seems to be doing a great job at being respectful to the culture but I hope for a major game that gets people to change their view of Islam as inherently militant or in any way inferior to Christianity.

Oh I think it’s just as shit as Christianity.

dragonator001,

It is. But that is not said enough of times

ours,

And the shitty militantism was accented/triggered by Christianity’s shitty militantism. Thanks crusades, the gift that keeps on shitting on.

    Sure Ubisoft have some bad business practice, I understand the sentiment, but we wish to keep this community as toxicity free as possible.

    DrMango,

    Understandable. Have a nice day 👍

    The penultimate step before they just release a barebones framework that just lets the community create all the content (including patching their shitty code) while they keep raking in the money.

    I wanted to share my opinion here because I don’t know where to do it: Syndicate is very enjoyable! I’ve read all kinds of bad reviews about it, but now that I’m playing it I like it a lot. Just my humble opinion from a guy more into the original AC mechanics, not the open world approach.

    callouscomic, do games w Assassin's Creed Mirage's narrative director fought to include the Alamut because it's so important for the lore

    The most liked AC games are good games, but not good AC games. I’ve only played certain ones, cause most of them lost the charm the original was going for. Mirage gives hope they’ve remembered the point of the series.

    I find this is the case for most of my favorite series. The most popular entries are usually the ones that least resemble the point of any series.

    Black flag is incredibly overrated.

    Bimbus, do games w CDPR dev defends Starfield amid criticisms that its character animations don't match up to Cyberpunk 2077

    Neither of them look as good as BG3 IMO. Both feel so static / emotionlessl

    prograhammingdev,

    BG3 is incredible, but I think Cyberpunk ties with that in many scenes (though there’s much fewer sets of dialog). The rigidity of the dialog in Starfield is one of my biggest complaints, and that’s coming from someone who really quite enjoys the game despite the many, MANY, things it could do better.

    Dettweiler42,

    Bethesda’s formula is pretty dated. They changed up a few things for Starfield, but it’s still same the old dialog system.

    vaultdweller013,

    Still an improvement on Fallout 4, atleast my character aint yapping.

    glimse,

    I don’t usually dig into behind the scenes stuff in games but I’ve been watching a ton of bg3’s stuff. I didn’t realize how integral to the development some of the actors were - specifically Neil Newborn, Astarion’s actor. Larian seems like a cool company to work with…it feels like they really “get” it.

    BrowseMan,

    Would you have a link to these? I’m curious how Neil influenced the game.

    glimse,

    I’m sorry but I don’t remember exactly where I heard it. It might have been Dan Allan’s channel, he interviews voice actors

    PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

    Good Jesus. You’re delusional if you think a 10 second loop amounts to good animation. The facial animations alone are so bad.

    vlad76,
    @vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    I love BG3 and I have nothing against it’s animations. But what is it that you like? Honestly, I see a lot of people praise the animations, but besides a few scenes, the animations just seem “good”. Not mind blowing, but not bad in any way. So I don’t get that praise, but I’m sure there’s something that other people see in it that I don’t.

    That being said the game is great. I haven’t had this much fun since KotOR.

    vaultdweller013,

    For a CRPG their fucking great, also I wouldnt be surprised if a lot of that praise is coming from folks who play CRPGs on the norm. When your standard frame of reference is fucking Arcanum it tends to be a bit scewed. Also play Arcanum: of steamworks and magick obscura its really fucking good.

    vlad76,
    @vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    That’s a good point.

    vaultdweller013,

    Of course I made a good point, Ive got Pelinal Whitestake about to strangle someone do to dragussy as a profile picture.

    Contrary to popular belief cp77 was a good, albeit shallow, game if you weren’t expecting a GTA clone even at launch.

    @Haui@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    Cyberpunk oversold and underdelivered at launch. 3 months later it was insanely good, especially if you had a high end pc. It never sucked, the management of cdpr made a mistake, thats it.

    Franzia, do games w Titanfall 3 hopefuls are getting desperate as Respawn teasers continue: "This is ether god-tier trolling or a confession"

    Damn that’s crazy. I thought TF2 was one of those games you can’t play anymore, because they had people abusing bugs to crash servers or whatever. But it got fixed and you can genuinely play it like… 7+ years after release? Titanfall 2 also used to use the “we need you to buy mtx to keep the servers open” strategy, lmao. I also think the artists behind TF and TF2 are leading passion for the project and a few have just made more art in the same vein in their free time, as well as more collabs and promotions after release. But again this is years ago.
