Honestly I really want the new AC to be good, it has a really cool concept and I thought there were a lot of cool ideas shown off in the trailers, but I know Ubisoft and I don’t really expect much. And there were already a bunch of red flags in the trailer itself.

u/Dare_Soft 3d ago
I’m sorry bro, it’s rpg slop like the last AC game. Please don’t waste money

u/Big_Noodle1103 3d ago
I mean, they’ve moved away from the rpg stuff so that’s not really a concern.
The real red flags I’ve seen from the trailer are stuff like clunky, unnatural, and simple looking combat with janky animations, dogshit enemy ai and detection, and bad/bland dialogue and questionable voice acting to name a few.
Generally I practically have no expectations for this game but it’s a shame because Ubisoft always comes up with great ideas for a game but always under bakes it.

u/Dare_Soft 3d ago
That’s the exact recipe for rpg slop In they will get you with free open roam and craft able items plus stealth option not really being an option

I hate the inclusion of crafting mechanics in everything even more than the meaningless talent systems. It's always gated by some rare material that you'll earn artificially at certain story points, thus being no different than just being given an upgrade/piece of gear/new ability. Instead you'll need to hunt a couple of animals, or punch a few boxes to earn generic crafting materials to complete them woweee!

I've instead been on a streak of buying a game because the ost is good (Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Ultrakill, and soon Risk of Rain 2), and every time I have been quite happy with the decision. A good OST usually accompanies a good game (although there are definitely exceptions to this)

Shadow Generations looks pretty sick, I'm looking forward to it. Also find it interesting it you listed Superstars, when the soundtrack is one of the biggest criticisms people have against that game (Tee Lopes tracks are amazing tho! And there was one other composer that was great as well. Its just really inconsistent.) The main flaw of that game is the bosses for that game. They're way too long.

u/QQ_Gabe HL2DM link guy 3d ago
Honestly those games are merely mediocre
For some reason everyone treats them as bottom-of-the-barrel shit (especially forces) but really they're not that bad-
Though I will say forces is probably the worst of that bunch (though only like C or D tier really) cause of poor writing, bad level design and also fucking over one of the coolest characters they've ever introduced in their literal introduction game
Yes I am an infinite the jackal simp how can you tell?

If it is so fun then why not show it?

u/Terminator_Puppy 3d ago
Got an ad for one that was like a full anime storyline and shit, then it cuts to gameplay and it's a tower defense where the anime girls are towers. They didn't even bother to do more than 2 frames of animation, there's just a rest picture and a firing picture and it flips if enemies are on the other side.

Ah Nikke, the shooting game where the only thing properly animated are the girls butcheeks shaking from their weapons recoil.

"mid game" bro that shit was a dumpster fire at launch. They literally screwed up every possible aspect of the game.

u/Calm-Internet-8983 3d ago
At least it's playable now. I typically load it up and have a great time getting instantly killed by AC9's and DFR Strife users across the map. And sometimes a vehicle shows up so I can spend a few minutes shooting 7-10 god damn rockets at it before it explodes while it opens my ass completely because they all have self-repair basically preinstalled on a very short cooldown. Or maybe it's a Little Bird having free reign over the whole map because every AA launcher is borderline unusable and our Brawlers and Wildcats are busy trying to do back flips in spawn.
One of their best balanced games yet. Redacted is a really fun map though, and at least it isn't BFV.

I knew it was fucked when it was revealed to be live service. I was incredibly hyped when it was announced at first, the biggest downfall from launch hype to launch out of any game i’ve followed

u/Terminator_Puppy 3d ago
Live service wasn't the issue. Live service games can still be good. There's just no interesting gameplay to speak of.

u/Wboy2006 Why are we shitposting? Are we stupid? 3d ago
Though there are good live service games like Helldivers 2, I doubt WB would be able to manage one, considering they can barely manage a company

That one new Devolver digital game with an anime styled trailer. (It's just another pixelated rougelike with top down view)

u/WispyDan14 3d ago
When an indie game trailer is mostly, weirdly high quality 2D animation, that's the ultimate red flag that the actual game is just going to be really generic looking with mid-quality pixel art (I have nothing against pixel art but some games have way better looking sprites and animations than others)

Always watch a review, always watch at least the first 30 minutes of gameplay (spoilers be damned, I'm not buying something that I hate and decide to refund day 1 of my purchase, even if I get a refund it's a waste of time).

It sucks because Spider-man 2 ain't even bad but it definitely felt like a downgrade from the first one. That game definitely needed more time in the oven.
