Assassin's Creed Mirage

[Joeyuk]

Loved Orgins and Odyssey but couldn’t get into Valhalla for some reason. My favourite is probably black flag, loved the sailing in that one.

I don't mind long games but there needs to be a point.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

This is actually looking good, I’m up for a game that goes back to its roots.

Loved Odyssey, the voice acting of Kassandra made it for me.

Also loved Valhalla but the female voice acting on that drove me mad.

Not really sure how I feel about who Basim really is tbh, it became apparent early on in Valhalla and I can't say it didn't annoy me.

TBH, I'll most likely play it but after seeing reviews and players' opinions. Origins had one of the most impressive gameworlds ever and the settings in these games are always superb. That's what draws me in specifically but the cookie-cutter repetition and shallow gameplay in Odyssey and Valhalla drove me nuts after a while.

Hearing that this supposedly goes back to its roots with a dense city location and focus on stealth and being an actual assassin, I'm somewhat interested.
They really need to focus on the gameplay formula and trim some excess fat here and there and it's going to work nicely.

As for the story, it became an utter comedy a good while ago so not getting my hopes up on that front, just hope it's not too intrusive.

Let's be honest lads.. it's going to be the same old same old we've seen for years. Assassin's Creed is and always has been mid imo.

 

[Tombstone]

I'm up for this, a combined playtime of over 500 hours for AC Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. I'll easily, really easily, get 100 hours out of a new AC game. That good enough for me

 

[Hodders]

Loved Odyssey, liked Origins, liked Unity, Syndicate was OK. Valhalla was fun, but not really part of the AC world IMO.

Probably end up playing it.

 

[Moley]

Just pre-ordered the deluxe edition. Roll on October.

 

[smogsy]

its very cheap atm on cdkeys hopefully you got a good deal @Moley

 

[FrozenShivers]

The Mirage is that there's 100+ hours of content, when in reality there's 30-40hours of solid content then filler for the rest.

I guess one mans content is another mans filler. Mate of mine thinks Death Stranding is amazing, I think its mind numbing.

12th Octoboer release date.

 

[FredFlint]

Got lots of AC games free over the years, never got into them. Then I got Orgins free and decided to install it and got addicted. Ended up getting Odyssey then Valhalla. Will definitely get this one.

 

[Poneros]

It looks better than I expected but I just can't see this being worth full price. I'm just sad that we're still so far away from a proper next-gen AC game as this just looks like more of the Origins formula & graphics.

Ah... I didn't realise this was on last gen consoles too.

 

[darkgen]

Aye, I thought the next game was using a different (new) engine? Hmm, oh well.

 

[Poneros]

Afaik it was supposed to be DLC for Valhalla at first but then they decided to expand it into a full fledged game given that the next big AC title is so far away, and they're not used to going without an AC release for so long.

AC is so stale, can't Ubisoft not come up with something different, go the Remedy route and interconnect a game into the AC universe or something. I mean surely they are bored making the same game over and over again.

Makes financial sense for them though, AC Valhalla was the biggest selling AC ever, it literally outsold every single previous AC title. That sort of sales return makes it a tough call to convince anyone to make changes.
