The worst thing about the trailing missions is that because your character walks slightly faster then everybody else, you have to stop every 2 milliseconds. Edit: Assassin’s creed still sucks
Look guys im sorry about my ignorance i didn't accept the fact that other people have their own opinions i still cringe on that comment i had a year ago.
The worst trailing missions are the ones where the target moves a speed you are incapable of keeping. They go just slower than your max but not as slow as your walk. God I hate that.
constantly having to stop and go so it can look less awkward than just walking past as they're talking to you for 5+ minutes to the destination that you CANT SEE on the map because they are marked as the waypoint
@@dwaynecooper5502 wich is both a blessing and a sin the good part is that you have to make your own path from your own good knowledge the bad part is there really only 3 paths to pick usaully
@@ItsRythmos assassins creed black flag is definitely a fun game to play as you have a variety of things to do when free playing and not to mention,a ship of your own that you upgrade by gathering resources and grinding,getting better weapons for your character,etc.just like any other good rpg game... The story is not that good though not gonna lie... The story of altire and ezio though is really good and you may not see it from the games itself but if you look into the lore,you'll understand that it's not actually that bad...just not bloodborne lvl..
@@dereksbooks In what universe is Assassin's Creed, any of the 13 main games or the plethora of spinoffs, even remotely close to Grand Theft Auto? Assassin's Creed, a game where you travel back in time to experience real historical events told in a fictional way. GTA, a game where you kill people and rob banks. Maybe I am too small brained to see the connection?
Assassin’s Creed does have a lot of repetitive content, but I’m the kind of person who doesn’t really mind that. My favorite AC game is Black Flag, despite the tailing missions. I can definitely understand why some people dislike it.
Right. I only got into the franchise recently. I am a rockstar fanboy. Only ever played Rockstar open worlds with the exception of a few games and black flag. But when I picked up AC origins it sparked up the historical side of me. Someone in the comments said AC has a little something for everyone. And I couldn't agree more. Obviously a game like red dead 2 is leagues ahead of any AC game. But AC has actually managed to peak my interest thanks to it's amazing historical accuracy and gameplay mechanics.
Average Alien I get that. The very first game a I played was GTA: Vice City, and I met a bunch of good friends through GTA 5. But AC/Hitman style games caught my attention because of stealth mechanics and clever ways to complete levels. Those kinds of games drastically reward you for exploring the area before you attack
@@theunbrokenlegion1709 True..The amount of freedom you get in missions is almost an opposite to the linear missions of rockstar games. Rockstar games play out like more of a cinematic movie with the added bonus of an open world to explore. AC games have basic storylines but you can do whatever you want within them. Also I forgot to mention Bayek is an amazing character
The problem is that not all Assassin's Creed games have such a large emphasis on trailing segments and he's overgeneralizing how bad it can be in some titles. Rogue for example only has like one or two of them and they don't even take up the majority of the missions they're in.
@@monkeyman100000 He said that the core mechanic is actually fun but it is filled with filler bullshit. It's just like what you said, when that epic moment actually hit it's amazing but again the filler is too much
@@anggaihza3074 Just waaay too much filler. But I think a problem outside of the game is that there are other stealth/action games with parkour/climbing, plenty of fun mechanics, but where AC fucks around doing a bunch of other shit to establish the plot for the next game to exist, plenty of other games with similar mechanics innovate and let you actually enjoy the core part of the game. They have mission after mission, sequence after sequence where it's just fun, figuring out the coolest way to complete tasks, which while you can do this in Assassin's Creed, you have to grind the story and bad missions to get to the fun stuff. AC2 was pretty good in this department because I liked Ezio and the characters are fun and human, at least when you are in the bed thing playing as Ezio they are and then even the boring parts aren't that nagging or bothersome. Anyway here is a short list of games with similar mechanics but more fun: Middle-earth: Shadow of War, The new Tomb Raider games, Aragami, Dishonored, Dying Light (kinda), pretty much all of the Hitman games, Uncharted, MGSV, Mirror's Edge, Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, Splinter Cell, Mark of the Ninja. Not all of them are exactly similar or absolute 10/10 winners of games but I feel that all of these are better than AC games but have similar gameplay and are definitely of the same genre.
Worst Part is the creatour hast this cool idea for the modern day and how AC 1 beding boring was basicly by designe so that the Twist aculy surprises you at the cool possibilitys then ac 2 shows the Progression of These ideas and ac 2ö3 would have then bedn the fullfielment whetje creatour had a very cool idea ubisoft wantst the series to last forever
@@J05TIThe historical aspect of it, the hidden blade, the lore. I also like Desmond and the Assassin's I actually think they're really cool. I'm just saying Dunkey makes valid criticisms. You're allowed to like Assassin's Creed and still watch Dunkey vids
@@J05TI I haven't had a chance to get burnt out by the series yet. I don't buy the games in the franchise I'm not interested in, so I haven't gotten bored of the mechanics tbh
@@J05TI everything dunkey said about ac series is pretty much valid. But the thing is after playing through all the AC games, there are so many fun gameplay and designs. The game still has fun but it's just loaded with mind boggling, boring ass gameplay. These days, I play AC because of the environment. The game at least attempt to recreate historical environment. Odyssey's open world was exciting. You get to fight mythical beasts which I only read in stories. Even in the dlc, I played through mind boggling, boring ass gameplay to explore Elysium and Atlantis and meet heroes I read about in mythologies in the underworld. Really there are great moments in this game. But with overloaded boring ass materials, I can understand why it's instantly a turn off. Still, I don't play any of series second time through because I would rather shoot myself. I can't imagine trying to grind in Odyssey a second time. Also assassinating a target sucks because the death scene makes no sense whatsoever. 2/5
@@kawaiidoggo I used to be an ac fan i liked the franchise i dont why. Brotherhood was my first ac game and it was different i still remember i start my pc at 5 am to play the game the concept was different for me i like every ac game upto syndicate unity lacks in terms of story but the combat was different yeah i know the side missions and missions are identical but still there are so many memories which keep stoping me from hating the AC series's but from origin i stopped playing ac games
They took extra time and effort with origins you can tell. I'm not done yet but unless something goes terribly wrong this could be a good starting point for a revamped franchise
2:02 Back when we’d complain that an 18 hour campaign is too long. Now every big game has to be 70+ hours and you don’t even get to the fun part until 18 hours in
I was going to defend black flag because I had fun with it but then I realised that I could barely remember the main story and mainly just enjoyed running around for collectables. The only thing I can remember from the main story is that an unskipable cutscene started playing so I made myself a sandwich and then came back as the cutscene was finishing only to realise that there was going to be a brief walking section and then another unskipable cutscene
I think the pirate part was pretty cool as well, what was not cool was how they copy and pasted it to the next games without improving anything about it, wich can be said for the other aspects of the game as well.
The story is interesting though. If you get past the 35 min mark, give it a go. It gets pretty good with all the naval combat and pirate life. To this day, that game is unmatched in terms of story writing and character development if you compare it to the modern Ubisoft games.
This is so true. The mechanics in these games are really cool and satisfying at times, but the only time I got to enjoy them while playing is when I completely ignored the story or any of the missions, and just ran around assassinating guards and doing parkour through the different environments. I never got far in any of the Assassin’s Creed games because progressing through the game was like being punished.
Yeah, it can be tough. The only ones I finished were 4 and Odyssey just because I liked the gameplay a lot, and the story in both of them was surprisingly good
Well no you are very very very wrong because the story and the missions were good in ac 1 and ac 2 and ac brotherhood and ac revelations and ac 3 and ac 4 black flag and ac rogue and ac unity and ac syndicate and ac origins
@@ReVon_pLwell I want to say that the story was good too In ac 1 and ac 2 and ac brotherhood and ac revelations and ac 3 and ac rogue and ac unity and ac syndicate and ac origins
I love ezios trilogy and 3 and 4 but I'm playing assassin's Creed 1 and lord it feels like a chore to get through the story I'm literally forcing myself to digest it out of my love for ezios trilogy.
It's sad when you realize that the best parts of AC games like Black Flag are when they AREN'T acting like AC games and just let you do your thing, like being a pirate.
ben mcguire Ship stuff was more limited in 3 (it was there to test it's popularity for 4 imo) and you could hunt random animals in 4 as well, but it's mostly just a fun diversion. I wouldn't buy a whole game over just its hunting, and syndicate stole the gang mechanics from Saints Row. AC4 was best because it was the least AC of them all....
I never understood why Assassin's Creed had the Animus instead of just playing in the time period of the game. That would be 200 times more immersive and fun.
100% agreed, think there is a good game buried in them somewhere if you weren't getting ripped out of the immersion/fun every 5 seconds to go through an immensely dull trailing mission or animus section.
It was good when the Desmond was alive....Ezio was directly related to Desmond...after Desmond death.. outside animus is screwed up
5 років тому+328
Not really. The Animus is what makes it special. It serves to explain and integrate the gameplay mechanics into the narrative. Without it, things like respawn, HUD, invisible walls, etc, wouldn't have any explanation (wich would take away the immersion), or it would be explain with fucking fantasy, something every other game does. Plus the modern day story is kinda interesting if you pay atention to it.
Assassin's creed is like dating some stunning and beautiful girl for the first time and after 30 minutes you start to notice she doesn't have brain at all
To be fair.... Uncharted 4 did too. Haven't played that game that game yet, but it seems to do well, probably because it does not involve walking slowly behind someone for several hours.
I honestly think a big issue with the games is the whole animus/abstergo thing I hate it so much your being an assassin killing people sneaking around shooting people ranking up getting collectibles doing side missions. and then you have to wait 7 minutes or do a stupid sequence
if you're just free roaming and doing parkour, the games are mostly fine. it's when you start watching the custcenes and playing the missions that you realise the game is just plain boring
The thing that makes these games decent is the work and detail that goes into the worlds. The team actually does some research and tries to present each setting as accurately as possible, so it's fun running around these ancient cities from history and jumping along buildings and stuff. But as soon as you sink your teeth into the actual story and missions, it's boring as hell every time.
@@mechabeachyeah the places are beautiful..there is nothing u can do about that,only gameplay and missions are bad,the ac origins and Odyssey graphics are one of the most beautiful graphics
True as a Greek myself I'm tempted to get Odyssey just to see the depiction of Ancient Greece, but I also know I'll play it for a couple hours then get bored so... we'll see haha @@corey2421
Yes! Im trying to play ACreed Unity right now, the city is lovely, graphics lightning, jumping and running around, but oh god... after i stop doing that and finally decide do the game main mission i instant close the game, its impossible not to get bored!
Assassin's Creed is one of those franchises that I played as a kid because it was open world, had cool graphics and lets not lie, you would feel like a badass. Jumping on roofs, parkouring, it was really cool. But as I got older, I realised, holy shit these games are so damn boring. When you get older you lose some of that immersiveness and you cannot really get INTO the game as you used to before when you were younger, goofier, more naive, etc. I think many people can understand my point of view. I think these games are PERFECT for people who just got into video games and people still have that "kid" spirit. I'm not saying that people who enjoy these games are childish, I'm saying that you really have to be immersed into these games to enjoy them.
i dont think it has anything to do with growing up, but it's more about how many other video games have you played. I started gaming like 5 years ago, Assassins creed 2 and 4 are sum of my very first singleplayer games. The first time i experienced both of them, i was obsessed. But overtime i was exposed to more and more video games both older and newer than these two. After replaying them recently, i quickly realized at how shallow and boring ac actually is. The mechanics are just extremely simple, the level designs are laughable, the gameplay while had a neat original idea is poorly executed and extremely repetitive, buggy and unpolished mess n and of course, trailing mission. I think assassin creed is the embodiment of everything wrong with a lot of modern games. Trailing missions, lack of challenge, repetitiveness, lack of polish and more. I've played older games like halo, half life 1 n 2, classic gta trilogy, mario 64 and i had so much more fun than all of the assassins creed, even the ezio trilogy. They were fun games for your first playthrough but they didnt age quite well
@@JCDentonman You make a great point, but what i had in mind with "growing up" was because i am so familiar with games at that point, newer games don't seem to do it for me, they kinda feel repetitive. I kinda just miss the feeling when you play games without knowing what the heck you're doing. There are some games that definitely hold up and some that don't, nostalgia is kinda the thing that really shifts and it often lies I guess at the end of the day, it's entirely subjective. I just miss playing games the way i used to, but there definitely is value to playing games as a grown-up
Yep i know how you feel ,i used to be obssessed with this franchise cause of the badass designs and actions but it just gets repetitive really quick so now ubisoft is changing their formula to rpg and i can totally understand why they have to do that
I agree, which is why I think if they had just made 2 of them the novelty wouldn't have worn off as much and the legacy of Assassins Creed would be far different
@@BraveMoji i like a few of the assassins creed games like black flag is good it is in a good place it has good boat fighting and its also fun to mess around assassins creed 2 is pretty fun to and origins is but there are a few games that fit donkeys description
@@Jandos47 when playing this when I was younger, I was blown away by the climbing. I thought it was so cool you could climb these buildings. It meant it gave you so much freedom. Again, when I was younger. Now I see the climbing a really boring thing to do. It's great you can scale these buildings, but it requires zero skill now. The ones that had the grasp mechanic requires a little skill. But then they took the mechanic away. So now you are at the mercy of the game with what you grab. The combat was flashy enough for a 10 year old, but it is painfully mediocre. Being precanned animation based and not hitbox based. With enemies waiting until you finished killing their allies With how origins climbing was layed out, I thought it was going to be like mirror's edge but with a grasp button. But nope. It's just super automated. They stream lined it but took away all the options you had in previous games, and I fuckin hate that. I wanted all the traversal options of brotherhood, but the intuative layout of mirror's edge
Everytime you buy assassins creed. The game automatically buys the next game in the franchise. That is solely the reason why I have 9 assassins creed games. If you dont believe me, then oobisoft has bugged your mind
I still think the AC odyssey is nutts, I like something new and out of place but not a completely different experience, they literally disappeared with the parkour stuff and it's more an RPG than an Hitory mixed with unreality, and knowledge.
One of the worst received because of a bad launch and glitches. Movement, parkour and stealth is smooth and badass, the world is beautiful and the story is great (in my opinion).
Yeah AC Unity is definitely the most underrated one. Main reason people hated it was because it had a few glitches at launch which mainly got patched out from what I’ve seen and played.
I cant believe people still buy ubisoft games in 2024. In Canada, they have Star Wars Outlaws for 169.99 for the super digital edition of whatever, i cannot comprehend the sad level of gamer who spends that much, or even wants to play their crap, their souless crap.
Paying those prices is stupid, yes. Unless you have a lot of money and it doesn't really matter to you. But you can often pick up Ubisoft titles for half price in a few months after release. And most of them are genuinely not bad, most of them are almost the definition of "mid", but some of them are actually quite good. If you can get Star Wars Outlaws for say $20 in a few months, it'll be well worth the money. It's far from a 10/10 GOTY, but it's a well-crafted world that's fun to explore and has a lot of neat moments. Far Cry 6 was really weak, especially story wise, but I got it for $15 and it still had the same Far Cry gameplay that's a bit of fun to mess around with and a beautiful environment to go with it. Feel like it's become really popular to shit on Ubisoft without having even tried their games. Skull and Bones was a fucking disaster that everyone could see from a mile away. But almost every other game before that and since have been acceptable, and a few like the latest Prince of Persia was pretty fucking sick.
To be honest, I am a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise. But man. I LOVED how you took a shit on this game. For real. It was funny and true and I really had a good laugh, even if I like the games. Kudos, man!
@@abhisekmukherjee8621 I've played all AC's from 1-4 and now I'm playing Odyssey (abt 65h in). I fucking love Odyssey, one of my fav games of all time, but I see your point (but since since I pirate everything micro transactions don't bother me, even though it's cancer)
True the first games are more focused and marketed as 'social stealth' where hiding in plain sight around crowds/hiding spots is more effective than sneaking around so It makes stealth frustrating sometimes. I still love the early games especially the ezio trilogy for what it is
Well, for the early games I'd forgive them mostly because it's not needed. Stealth in AC isn't about crawling around a big enemy base with brain-dead guards who can't see human figures inside a bush, it's about hiding amongst the crowd and finding a quick and clean way to assassinate your target
First one I played was ACO. I just finished it and thought it was great, but the side missions were just something to stay my boredom. I probably won't be playing another since they all follow the same basic formula. It was just awesome to explore ancient Egypt for awhile though.
I was playing though AC4 recently and hated the real world sections with a passion. why am I here? I was being a pirate a few minutes ago. Why have I been taken away from BEING A PIRATE so I can... *checks notes* play a bad office sim. It's like playing dishonored then someone pausing the game for 30 minutes while they make you do someone else's taxes.
Take you of the immersion I know even though the real world story is not bad and it link games with each other like watch dogs and newer Assassin creed games but still is it necessary but the way I see it you are playing as pirate in the moment I am not in a simulation
Abdulla Yaser Exactly. It’s a fun game, but it’s whole story revolves around taking you out of the immersion. It’s flawed, and they need to abandon it.
Abdulla Yaser I agree, I don’t wanna know that nothing I do matters because it’s a simulation and focus on the story missions. My mans a pirate ima do wtf I want and collect stuff and do side missions
You know why it reverted to an office sim for the present story? Bc ppl complained about having Desmond nd the present day storyline so they killed him off nd now they have half the game it used to be. The lore and the story is what made it so unique compared to other games. The newer games still have amazing moments and gameplay but I dont care about the characters anymore bc the point of the original games is that the animus showed the ancestors life and let you experience it, the characters had actual depth to them instead of the later games. I miss what the series had with Desmond and my favorite assassin, ezio auditore da Firenze. But I still enjoy the extra effects and gameplay mechanics each new ac brings. Hopefully at some point a samurai assassins creed in feudal Japan. But pls never bring multiplayer back.
I had the same experience last year when I played it again. I can talk about the first time you get in as an argument that it was approved by a businessman to make more repetitions. However, it was constantly taking me away from the game just when I get deep into the story. I didn’t pay $60 to see some boring inside drama stuff which I don’t even care. When this happened the third time, it just killed my mood of playing it and I didn’t complete the game because of this. I remember it interrupting when I played first, but after this video and my reduced patience, I couldn’t bother to finish the game.
How you know it has a bad story if you skip cutscenes that's why most games don't do that it's like you don't fucking pay attention to the story I mean I hate the story in assassin's creed but wtf
Really liked Jerusalem and Acre alot, I remember the first mission in Jerusalem running after the bad guy on the rooftops with that sexy bg chase music. Tbf it is an "assassin" game so trialing and stealth are the main features of the game. I really like loved the first 3 and revelations but after that it was meh for me
@@danielalmouiee8482 I wish the series stayed a game or two in the Middle East with Altair and the female former Templar. Ubisoft could have covered how the Assassins rebuilt after the order was betrayed and Salahuddin ruling most of the region. The first one is not perfect, but the assassination plot would be a nice fit to a post Crusade Middle East.
@@CardCrusher29 absolutely agree with you, I was super interested in the story and the regions of the first game. Would have been nice to have had a Saracens vs crusaders or even the subsequent age of the Mamluks then Ottomans
@@----f I'm only on AC Brotherhood, but I can somehow see what you mean. There's too many activities/collectibles on AC. Even on a horse, it's somewhat tedious to travel in Rome. To its credit, side missions/collectibles are optional.
Back when I was in my early twenties and didn't have a job, I marathoned several of the Assassins Creed games in a row. It was the Kenway Trilogy and Unity. As a teenager I was obsessed with the games and going into it again was exciting. But I ended up never wanting to play them again because it was all so TEDIOUS. Most of it was just collecting useless stuff and climbing viewpoints to collect more useless stuff on the map. The only actual thing of value in these games is the main story and a FEW of the side missions with occasionally good writing. For instance, AC3 has a few good (and one important) narrative homestead missions but most of them are the most trivial things. In its defense it does give the game more personality but the gameplay itself is really dull and boring. The combat looks cool as a beginner player but it becomes repetitive and effortless. Shadow of Mordor has a somewhat similar approach but the combat in that game is always fun and engaging. And once you have 100% completed these games there is absolutely nothing to go back to. After recently starting RDR2 and only getting 3 hours into it, I realized just how boring and lifeless the Assassin's Creed games really are. You are just marking useless objectives off the map and doing little else. It's a chore. Ubisoft games all feel like the bare minimum was applied. It's a big empty open world with a ton of useless collectibles and boring missions.
Well no you are very very very wrong. Assassins creed games are not tedious and the homestead missions in Assassins creed 3 are not trivial and it’s gameplay is not dull and boring and it’s combat is not repetitive and effortless and no assassins creed games are not boring and lifeless and it’s objectives and collectibles and stuffs are not useless and it’s open world is not empty and it’s missions are not boring. So I want to say that you are very very very wrong about assassins creed
@@Nooneishereonlyme You're not providing much of an argument by disagreeing with me. I do like some of these games but I have played and 100% them back to back multiple times. It DOES get tedious. They still do hold a special place in my heart for the story and characters, but you cannot tell me that the homestead mission where you wrangle pigs or break up a fight is meaningful or fun in anyway. Sure it adds some kindness to Connor and the homesteaders as characters, but from a game play perspective, it sucks. Same with half of Black Flag being tailing missions. You get exposition, but that's the entire purpose and it is too repetitive to feel fun after the first or second time. Compared to games like Red Dead with so much life and thought put into every little reaction, they are barebones. They do have nice easter eggs and the writing is good enough but the gameplay and NPCs feel like they lack something. The combat is "block, counter, repeat for chain kill". It looks cool but gets old fast and that's most of the combat. It's too easy and that's really the only pattern unless you use guns, knives, or darts. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy them from time to time, but they are objectively flawed with how repetitive the gameplay can be. They could have been even more.
For those who are looking for the "assassins creed is a good franchise" comment, I'm sad to say that the comment has since been deleted. I've looked thru comments all the way up to 6 months ago (which is fucking killing my memory, this tab alone is nearly 800mb of memory), and nothing has come up.
C'mon dunkey, black flag isn't about story....it's about channeling your inner Johnny Depp and being the most feared pirate on the 6 and a half seas cause half of the 7th didn't load in yet
They'll get that 7th in there, but it's going to be paid DLC. Oh and they're also going to add in an extra layer of DRM so I hope you have a beastly machine.
Glad I watched this video. As an assassin's creed fan, you are so right. I like Black flag, but some of the things are taking so damn long to really get into the good parts. Gotta check uncharted out tho.
@@timetravelingoldman6839 I'm broke af. I just watched the movie cutscene of the first game 😅. Same goes with assassin's creed, except I played ac black flag and liberation
I think it's pretty fun for a couple hours at a time. Then it gets boring because stealth; the main focus of the game, just feels like a suggestion when you can walk into any engagement and just tank everyone. I only have the rebel collection (black flag and rogue) and I'm happy with them because I don't think I could play one of the ones that doesn't break the monotony with awesome naval battles. I really like games that are really 2 games you can switch off playing when one gets monotonous. Bored of being an assassin? Go be a ship captain for awhile until you get bored of that, then go back to being an assassin. Brilliant.
The first one isn't that bad, in Hitman-lite sort of way. It is easily the best one out the series, aside from maybe Black Flag. Ubisoft just doesn't make great games. Occasionally one will slip out, but for the most part they are average humdrum experiences lacking an truly exhilarating gameplay; or even a good story.
It's because you enjoy the characters possibly. The animations are incredibly satisfying and the equipment being used is great, depending on the AC Game such as Revelations Black Flag and Rogue, there are actual good missions and tell incredible stories and different stories, From Pirates to sympathetic Templars... Trailing missions suck ass tho.
When you're done pointing out flaws in one of the most repetitive and overrated franchise, I've heard words from a new settlement that could use your help.
I feel like the Assassin's Creed movie was the first live action video game movie to keep consistent with the tone of the game: boring, bad writing, and like, 2 GOOD PARTS.
I mean i liked the movie. It was fun, the tone was ominous, and i personally thought this animus was M U C H more interesting than the in game one. I liked the swapping of the combat where at ine moment he’s in the past, the other he’s in the present. The ending felt rushed, but he’s an assassin. Quiet takedowns are kinda their shtick, could have gone with a little more sword fighting tho, it feels like they ran outta money at the end
@@DsgSleazy Honestly dude I've never seen a legit AC fan say "it's immersive" or even fun. Like I'm not even kidding. If you even go the the reddit where there's loads of AC fans they all universally agree that the side missions are repetitive sometimes and that the trailing missions sucks.
@@jamesmccloud7535 The worst is that the people are not walking. They are slowly enjoying the view, taking in the sights, and walking 1 mile per hour (that is when they do not randomly stop to think about their route and start slow-walking after like 30 seconds of standing still and looking behind them and not seeing you like 30 feet away because you have a hood) like WTF is dat 😂 I love AC games BUT in all games (not just ac) trailing and escorting/protect the NPC missions are just so damn stupid. I remember that in AC Odyssey I was supposed to follow someone and the NPC was just riding on a horse in circles for 37 minutes before finally figuring out the destination THAT made my blood boil.
I found the parkour in Black Flag was truly awful. I haven't played AC3 but was it the same there? And did they fix the parkour at any point or do all the more recent games have the same floaty, unsatisfying movement? I found the parkour was fine up to Revelations, then lost all interest in the franchise after Black Flag was so disappointing
@@goodguykonrad3701 I know this is old, but the parkour in AC3 is actually surprisingly good, and definitely polished a whole lot more than its predecessor. While it is still a bit janky, and sometimes refuses to do what you tell it to, I came to like its "careful, yet chaotic," gritty style of movement quite a bit, and it's nearly the oposite feeling of Black Flag to me, feeling almost too heavy at times. For the most part, it's reliable and definitely fun, but its occasional strangeness of the parkour system or refusal to act under perfect order of the player's inputs noticeably hampers it when they happen, and in a game that so heavily relies upon player immersion to keep itself entertaining or even engaging, you'll definitely be a bit disappointed. The statement "I had more fun than I ever had before with this game when I activated cheats" sums it up pretty well, because it acts solely to take away the mechanics that hamper your enjoyment, like guard detection and lack of easy chain-kills. If you wanna move around the map really fast, almost nothing gets even slightly close to the efficiency of parkour, and racking up a few rooftop guards on your way without getting caught feels good. However, there's almost always some minor quirk of how the game handles your inputs that takes you out of immersion and into frustration. Mind you, this is a game where if an enemy aggros onto you even for a split second, you risk getting a reputation, which means all other guards are hostile to you until you pay literally like $5 to some town crier, or it'll force you into a long, usually very drawn out and stressful chase. In fact, they seemingly de-emphasized hay bales and other hiding places, which sucks, because it's pretty much the only way that you can quickly escape chases. Moreover, the whole reputation system calls into question "why did you even implement this in the first place, if all it does is hamper the main mechanic that people enjoy in your game and it's so easy to get rid of?" The only reason I mention this is because it *constantly* intertwines itself with, and hampers, the parkour actually being fun and efficient. Overall, the parkour is good feeling and properly weighted most of the time, and you feel much more like a cat that perfectly weighs every little movement than someone walking on fucking trampoline material like in Black Flag, but the weird snapping of the character's wrists when you grab onto a slightly different ledge, or interpolation (look up "interpolation definition in games" if you don't know what that is) to points that the game really wants to go to, break the immersion and feel overly forced. Highly recommend, but do keep in mind, it's imperfect enough to where you likely won't feel accomplished or like you had a ton of fun with the parkour alone. I recommend stealth assassinations to groups of enemies, as killing all of them before even one can initiate combat is incredibly challenging and fulfilling, and the air assassinations feel *superb.*
So one thing I have to say A.C. offers that you don't get anywhere else is exploring historical cities. The architecture is usually well done and you get to explore real world locations at a defining time for them. (The Notre Dame was the best part of Unity.) Also sailing around shooting cannonballs at boats while your bois sing a shanty is a pretty uplifting experience.
Yeah the Notre Dame with people glitching through the map half the time. They had an opportunity to make that game really good with refreshing missions but they lost it. I probably like it the most among all the AC games that came after it.
@@Six_To_One - Or you can buy the game years later at a severely discounted price. I played AC1, 2, & Brotherhood, then lost interest. These days Origins and Odyssey were on sale for €30-€35, DLC included. I really liked Origins-loved Ancient Egypt as a kid-and I'm currently having a blast exploring Ancient Greece, specifically the part I live in right now 😁
Holy fuck. The contrast between AC and Uncharted should make Ubisoft developers' balls fall off in embarrassment! Four more "copy, paste" bullshit releases since this video too.
You know, this is a great example of what Dunkey was saying in his video on game critics. I don't mind that he's so down on Assassin's Creed, a series I love, because I get why he is. He has no patience, and no interest in the story of it. I don't share his preferences, so I liked the game, but his description of it makes sense and is helpful
Most importantly he is consistent with his opinions. Especially when it comes to assassins creed. Honestly assassins creed used to be my favorite game franchise not too long ago. I must have played the entire ezio Altair and Connor games four times in the past 4 years after I first got my hands on black flag which was my first assassins creed game and to this date is still my favorite. Then I played unity and syndicate and the lackluster story and awful, repetitive gameplay just made me hate these newer games.
I would actively avoid the main story missions in Black Flag and go do naval combat for hours because I knew if I went back to the main missions it would be some garbage eavesdropping mission or an assassination that I couldn’t even plan out the way I wanted to, I’d have to trail the guy first for almost no reason.
Shit, Black Flag should have been a spin off instead of an Assassin's Creed game. If it jettisoned the modern day story beats it would have been better.
+CreepsMcPasta This is why I like games like Final Fantasy, Persona, SMT, Kingdom Hearts, Tales, etc. Because the provide unique experiences with each entry and don't just copy paste the formula.
Dunkey’s review of Assassin’s Creed is nitpicking and biased and shows how his lack of understanding of game design hurts him the most as a critic I have never played Assassin’s Creed it doesn’t seem like my type of game
The most frustrating part about Assassin’s Creed’s tailing missions is a lack of checkpoints, and don’t even get me started on how many of these missions are in Black Flag.
The most annoying part of those missions to me is that they turn around at the most random times, even when your like 20 damn feet away and they stay that way for what feels centuries.
Apart from other bad thing I can't agree with the checkpoint ones, I am a casual gamer and I don't have a single problem with the check points, u are a noob maybe
@@armorwolf7934 It's possible to like AC and agree with him, you know that right? Hell, even if you disagree remain fucking civil and respectful you pig.
What I never understood is why don't you just play as the assassins opposed to some dude in a machine reliving their ancestors memories what does that really add to the game. I guess you could argue it's a way to tie all the games together but personally I would prefer a game with one really well done story than have two weeker storys about the assassin and the guy who is reliving the assassins memories.
Well thats the whole point of the story, the people in the future are reliving past assassins from the creed, so they can rebuild it. Each ac game is a different person from the future, reliving the different creed members.
The point is to have an in-game explanation for why there's a health bar and all this other videogame stuff on the screen. They were trying to make gaming immersive. Lol
The worst thing about the trailing missions is that because your character walks slightly faster then everybody else, you have to stop every 2 milliseconds.
Edit: Assassin’s creed still sucks
Can't argue with that

The worst trailing missions are the ones where the target moves a speed you are incapable of keeping. They go just slower than your max but not as slow as your walk. God I hate that.

I love assassins creed but he ain’t wrong now that I’m thinking about it
i can't eve finished the game because of damaged save files
Assassin’s Creed does have a lot of repetitive content, but I’m the kind of person who doesn’t really mind that. My favorite AC game is Black Flag, despite the tailing missions. I can definitely understand why some people dislike it.
Right. I only got into the franchise recently. I am a rockstar fanboy. Only ever played Rockstar open worlds with the exception of a few games and black flag.
But when I picked up AC origins it sparked up the historical side of me. Someone in the comments said AC has a little something for everyone. And I couldn't agree more.
Obviously a game like red dead 2 is leagues ahead of any AC game. But AC has actually managed to peak my interest thanks to it's amazing historical accuracy and gameplay mechanics.
Average Alien I get that. The very first game a I played was GTA: Vice City, and I met a bunch of good friends through GTA 5. But AC/Hitman style games caught my attention because of stealth mechanics and clever ways to complete levels. Those kinds of games drastically reward you for exploring the area before you attack
@@theunbrokenlegion1709 True..The amount of freedom you get in missions is almost an opposite to the linear missions of rockstar games. Rockstar games play out like more of a cinematic movie with the added bonus of an open world to explore. AC games have basic storylines but you can do whatever you want within them.
Also I forgot to mention Bayek is an amazing character
He is right though... trailing missions are the worst.
The problem is that not all Assassin's Creed games have such a large emphasis on trailing segments and he's overgeneralizing how bad it can be in some titles. Rogue for example only has like one or two of them and they don't even take up the majority of the missions they're in.
I would argue escort missions with non-combatant cargo is the worst
Amiri the Grey Hahaha agreed.

@@monkeyman100000 He said that the core mechanic is actually fun but it is filled with filler bullshit. It's just like what you said, when that epic moment actually hit it's amazing but again the filler is too much
@@anggaihza3074 Just waaay too much filler. But I think a problem outside of the game is that there are other stealth/action games with parkour/climbing, plenty of fun mechanics, but where AC fucks around doing a bunch of other shit to establish the plot for the next game to exist, plenty of other games with similar mechanics innovate and let you actually enjoy the core part of the game. They have mission after mission, sequence after sequence where it's just fun, figuring out the coolest way to complete tasks, which while you can do this in Assassin's Creed, you have to grind the story and bad missions to get to the fun stuff. AC2 was pretty good in this department because I liked Ezio and the characters are fun and human, at least when you are in the bed thing playing as Ezio they are and then even the boring parts aren't that nagging or bothersome. Anyway here is a short list of games with similar mechanics but more fun: Middle-earth: Shadow of War, The new Tomb Raider games, Aragami, Dishonored, Dying Light (kinda), pretty much all of the Hitman games, Uncharted, MGSV, Mirror's Edge, Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, Splinter Cell, Mark of the Ninja. Not all of them are exactly similar or absolute 10/10 winners of games but I feel that all of these are better than AC games but have similar gameplay and are definitely of the same genre.

@@J05TI everything dunkey said about ac series is pretty much valid. But the thing is after playing through all the AC games, there are so many fun gameplay and designs. The game still has fun but it's just loaded with mind boggling, boring ass gameplay. These days, I play AC because of the environment. The game at least attempt to recreate historical environment. Odyssey's open world was exciting. You get to fight mythical beasts which I only read in stories. Even in the dlc, I played through mind boggling, boring ass gameplay to explore Elysium and Atlantis and meet heroes I read about in mythologies in the underworld. Really there are great moments in this game. But with overloaded boring ass materials, I can understand why it's instantly a turn off.
Still, I don't play any of series second time through because I would rather shoot myself. I can't imagine trying to grind in Odyssey a second time. Also assassinating a target sucks because the death scene makes no sense whatsoever. 2/5

I was going to defend black flag because I had fun with it but then I realised that I could barely remember the main story and mainly just enjoyed running around for collectables. The only thing I can remember from the main story is that an unskipable cutscene started playing so I made myself a sandwich and then came back as the cutscene was finishing only to realise that there was going to be a brief walking section and then another unskipable cutscene
10/10 game
I think the pirate part was pretty cool as well, what was not cool was how they copy and pasted it to the next games without improving anything about it, wich can be said for the other aspects of the game as well.
The story is interesting though. If you get past the 35 min mark, give it a go. It gets pretty good with all the naval combat and pirate life. To this day, that game is unmatched in terms of story writing and character development if you compare it to the modern Ubisoft games.

This is so true.

I never understood why Assassin's Creed had the Animus instead of just playing in the time period of the game. That would be 200 times more immersive and fun.
Account never thought of this. Duh moment
100% agreed, think there is a good game buried in them somewhere if you weren't getting ripped out of the immersion/fun every 5 seconds to go through an immensely dull trailing mission or animus section.
It was good when the Desmond was alive....Ezio was directly related to Desmond...after Desmond death.. outside animus is screwed up
Not really. The Animus is what makes it special. It serves to explain and integrate the gameplay mechanics into the narrative. Without it, things like respawn, HUD, invisible walls, etc, wouldn't have any explanation (wich would take away the immersion), or it would be explain with fucking fantasy, something every other game does.
Plus the modern day story is kinda interesting if you pay atention to it.

Assassin's Creed is one of those franchises that I played as a kid because it was open world, had cool graphics and lets not lie, you would feel like a badass. Jumping on roofs, parkouring, it was really cool. But as I got older, I realised, holy shit these games are so damn boring. When you get older you lose some of that immersiveness and you cannot really get INTO the game as you used to before when you were younger, goofier, more naive, etc. I think many people can understand my point of view.
I think these games are PERFECT for people who just got into video games and people still have that "kid" spirit. I'm not saying that people who enjoy these games are childish, I'm saying that you really have to be immersed into these games to enjoy them.
I agree, that's one of the crappy things about growing up.
Sometimes i wish i could just go back and experience videogames for the first time.
i dont think it has anything to do with growing up, but it's more about how many other video games have you played. I started gaming like 5 years ago, Assassins creed 2 and 4 are sum of my very first singleplayer games. The first time i experienced both of them, i was obsessed. But overtime i was exposed to more and more video games both older and newer than these two. After replaying them recently, i quickly realized at how shallow and boring ac actually is. The mechanics are just extremely simple, the level designs are laughable, the gameplay while had a neat original idea is poorly executed and extremely repetitive, buggy and unpolished mess n and of course, trailing mission.
I think assassin creed is the embodiment of everything wrong with a lot of modern games. Trailing missions, lack of challenge, repetitiveness, lack of polish and more. I've played older games like halo, half life 1 n 2, classic gta trilogy, mario 64 and i had so much more fun than all of the assassins creed, even the ezio trilogy. They were fun games for your first playthrough but they didnt age quite well
@@JCDentonman You make a great point, but what i had in mind with "growing up" was because i am so familiar with games at that point, newer games don't seem to do it for me, they kinda feel repetitive. I kinda just miss the feeling when you play games without knowing what the heck you're doing.
There are some games that definitely hold up and some that don't, nostalgia is kinda the thing that really shifts and it often lies
I guess at the end of the day, it's entirely subjective.
I just miss playing games the way i used to, but there definitely is value to playing games as a grown-up
Yep i know how you feel ,i used to be obssessed with this franchise cause of the badass designs and actions but it just gets repetitive really quick so now ubisoft is changing their formula to rpg and i can totally understand why they have to do that
I agree, which is why I think if they had just made 2 of them the novelty wouldn't have worn off as much and the legacy of Assassins Creed would be far different

The 2 worst things of ac
Trailing
And going into real life
Nah at least if you take me on a mission when I exit out not talk go back in
Now don't forgot season passes and forced microtransactions
I seriously don’t get how this game was just a hot hit with a movie and a buncha games I always hated this game
@@Jandos47 when playing this when I was younger, I was blown away by the climbing. I thought it was so cool you could climb these buildings. It meant it gave you so much freedom.
Again, when I was younger. Now I see the climbing a really boring thing to do. It's great you can scale these buildings, but it requires zero skill now. The ones that had the grasp mechanic requires a little skill. But then they took the mechanic away. So now you are at the mercy of the game with what you grab. The combat was flashy enough for a 10 year old, but it is painfully mediocre. Being precanned animation based and not hitbox based. With enemies waiting until you finished killing their allies
With how origins climbing was layed out, I thought it was going to be like mirror's edge but with a grasp button. But nope. It's just super automated. They stream lined it but took away all the options you had in previous games, and I fuckin hate that. I wanted all the traversal options of brotherhood, but the intuative layout of mirror's edge
@@teneesh3376 How after they forced?
The fact that this video is about the so called best games in the series really goes to show just how mediocre the series is
Everytime you buy assassins creed. The game automatically buys the next game in the franchise. That is solely the reason why I have 9 assassins creed games. If you dont believe me, then oobisoft has bugged your mind
I still think the AC odyssey is nutts, I like something new and out of place but not a completely different experience, they literally disappeared with the parkour stuff and it's more an RPG than an Hitory mixed with unreality, and knowledge.
One of the worst received because of a bad launch and glitches. Movement, parkour and stealth is smooth and badass, the world is beautiful and the story is great (in my opinion).
@@jayelex2459 yeah and ac 4’s naval combat and story is good. Though I still agree with every thing dunky said
@@AGamer0515 the trailing missions in AC FEELS repetitive and frustating
Yeah AC Unity is definitely the most underrated one. Main reason people hated it was because it had a few glitches at launch which mainly got patched out from what I’ve seen and played.
Trailing is sure not fun but you know what’s worse?
Trailing using a ship

I cant believe people still buy ubisoft games in 2024. In Canada, they have Star Wars Outlaws for 169.99 for the super digital edition of whatever, i cannot comprehend the sad level of gamer who spends that much, or even wants to play their crap, their souless crap.
Paying those prices is stupid, yes. Unless you have a lot of money and it doesn't really matter to you. But you can often pick up Ubisoft titles for half price in a few months after release. And most of them are genuinely not bad, most of them are almost the definition of "mid", but some of them are actually quite good.
If you can get Star Wars Outlaws for say $20 in a few months, it'll be well worth the money. It's far from a 10/10 GOTY, but it's a well-crafted world that's fun to explore and has a lot of neat moments. Far Cry 6 was really weak, especially story wise, but I got it for $15 and it still had the same Far Cry gameplay that's a bit of fun to mess around with and a beautiful environment to go with it.
Feel like it's become really popular to shit on Ubisoft without having even tried their games. Skull and Bones was a fucking disaster that everyone could see from a mile away. But almost every other game before that and since have been acceptable, and a few like the latest Prince of Persia was pretty fucking sick.
To be honest, I am a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise. But man. I LOVED how you took a shit on this game. For real. It was funny and true and I really had a good laugh, even if I like the games. Kudos, man!

This is a stealth game franchise and in most of the games u can't even crouch.
Stealth games can be fun. This one is not
If you want a good stealth game I’d recommend Metal Gear.
True the first games are more focused and marketed as 'social stealth' where hiding in plain sight around crowds/hiding spots is more effective than sneaking around so It makes stealth frustrating sometimes. I still love the early games especially the ezio trilogy for what it is
Well, for the early games I'd forgive them mostly because it's not needed. Stealth in AC isn't about crawling around a big enemy base with brain-dead guards who can't see human figures inside a bush, it's about hiding amongst the crowd and finding a quick and clean way to assassinate your target
Splinter Cell has good stealth
This was brilliant. Great editing, great commentary, not too long, not too short. Fantastic video.

First one I played was ACO. I just finished it and thought it was great, but the side missions were just something to stay my boredom. I probably won't be playing another since they all follow the same basic formula. It was just awesome to explore ancient Egypt for awhile though.
trust me the forth one is good for about 80 hrs
2 and Brotherhood are also decent
I thought you say Assassins Creed Oddysey. Until you mention "Egypt" 😂 (Origin)
I was playing though AC4 recently and hated the real world sections with a passion. why am I here? I was being a pirate a few minutes ago. Why have I been taken away from BEING A PIRATE so I can... *checks notes* play a bad office sim. It's like playing dishonored then someone pausing the game for 30 minutes while they make you do someone else's taxes.
Take you of the immersion I know even though the real world story is not bad and it link games with each other like watch dogs and newer Assassin creed games but still is it necessary but the way I see it you are playing as pirate in the moment I am not in a simulation
Abdulla Yaser Exactly. It’s a fun game, but it’s whole story revolves around taking you out of the immersion. It’s flawed, and they need to abandon it.
Abdulla Yaser I agree, I don’t wanna know that nothing I do matters because it’s a simulation and focus on the story missions. My mans a pirate ima do wtf I want and collect stuff and do side missions
You know why it reverted to an office sim for the present story? Bc ppl complained about having Desmond nd the present day storyline so they killed him off nd now they have half the game it used to be. The lore and the story is what made it so unique compared to other games. The newer games still have amazing moments and gameplay but I dont care about the characters anymore bc the point of the original games is that the animus showed the ancestors life and let you experience it, the characters had actual depth to them instead of the later games. I miss what the series had with Desmond and my favorite assassin, ezio auditore da Firenze. But I still enjoy the extra effects and gameplay mechanics each new ac brings. Hopefully at some point a samurai assassins creed in feudal Japan. But pls never bring multiplayer back.
I had the same experience last year when I played it again. I can talk about the first time you get in as an argument that it was approved by a businessman to make more repetitions. However, it was constantly taking me away from the game just when I get deep into the story. I didn’t pay $60 to see some boring inside drama stuff which I don’t even care. When this happened the third time, it just killed my mood of playing it and I didn’t complete the game because of this. I remember it interrupting when I played first, but after this video and my reduced patience, I couldn’t bother to finish the game.
"Boring missions, repetitive gameplay, bad story, unskipable cutscenes"
9.5/10 it has a little something for everyone.

I played the first one just to wander around the Middle East of 900 years ago. Damascus was beautiful.
Really liked Jerusalem and Acre alot, I remember the first mission in Jerusalem running after the bad guy on the rooftops with that sexy bg chase music. Tbf it is an "assassin" game so trialing and stealth are the main features of the game. I really like loved the first 3 and revelations but after that it was meh for me
@@danielalmouiee8482 I wish the series stayed a game or two in the Middle East with Altair and the female former Templar. Ubisoft could have covered how the Assassins rebuilt after the order was betrayed and Salahuddin ruling most of the region. The first one is not perfect, but the assassination plot would be a nice fit to a post Crusade Middle East.
@@CardCrusher29 absolutely agree with you, I was super interested in the story and the regions of the first game. Would have been nice to have had a Saracens vs crusaders or even the subsequent age of the Mamluks then Ottomans

Back when I was in my early twenties and didn't have a job, I marathoned several of the Assassins Creed games in a row. It was the Kenway Trilogy and Unity.
As a teenager I was obsessed with the games and going into it again was exciting. But I ended up never wanting to play them again because it was all so TEDIOUS.
Most of it was just collecting useless stuff and climbing viewpoints to collect more useless stuff on the map. The only actual thing of value in these games is the main story and a FEW of the side missions with occasionally good writing. For instance, AC3 has a few good (and one important) narrative homestead missions but most of them are the most trivial things. In its defense it does give the game more personality but the gameplay itself is really dull and boring.
The combat looks cool as a beginner player but it becomes repetitive and effortless. Shadow of Mordor has a somewhat similar approach but the combat in that game is always fun and engaging.
And once you have 100% completed these games there is absolutely nothing to go back to. After recently starting RDR2 and only getting 3 hours into it, I realized just how boring and lifeless the Assassin's Creed games really are. You are just marking useless objectives off the map and doing little else. It's a chore. Ubisoft games all feel like the bare minimum was applied. It's a big empty open world with a ton of useless collectibles and boring missions.
Well no you are very very very wrong. Assassins creed games are not tedious and the homestead missions in Assassins creed 3 are not trivial and it’s gameplay is not dull and boring and it’s combat is not repetitive and effortless and no assassins creed games are not boring and lifeless and it’s objectives and collectibles and stuffs are not useless and it’s open world is not empty and it’s missions are not boring. So I want to say that you are very very very wrong about assassins creed
@@Nooneishereonlyme You're not providing much of an argument by disagreeing with me. I do like some of these games but I have played and 100% them back to back multiple times. It DOES get tedious. They still do hold a special place in my heart for the story and characters, but you cannot tell me that the homestead mission where you wrangle pigs or break up a fight is meaningful or fun in anyway. Sure it adds some kindness to Connor and the homesteaders as characters, but from a game play perspective, it sucks. Same with half of Black Flag being tailing missions. You get exposition, but that's the entire purpose and it is too repetitive to feel fun after the first or second time.
Compared to games like Red Dead with so much life and thought put into every little reaction, they are barebones. They do have nice easter eggs and the writing is good enough but the gameplay and NPCs feel like they lack something.
The combat is "block, counter, repeat for chain kill". It looks cool but gets old fast and that's most of the combat. It's too easy and that's really the only pattern unless you use guns, knives, or darts.
That doesn't mean I don't enjoy them from time to time, but they are objectively flawed with how repetitive the gameplay can be. They could have been even more.

C'mon dunkey, black flag isn't about story....it's about channeling your inner Johnny Depp and being the most feared pirate on the 6 and a half seas cause half of the 7th didn't load in yet
LOL
You got a sea to load in? My characters face isn’t even done loading yet. And you said this a month ago!
The only reason why black flag is a good assassins creed game, is because it was not like an assassins creed game.
They'll get that 7th in there, but it's going to be paid DLC. Oh and they're also going to add in an extra layer of DRM so I hope you have a beastly machine.

Glad I watched this video. As an assassin's creed fan, you are so right. I like Black flag, but some of the things are taking so damn long to really get into the good parts. Gotta check uncharted out tho.

I think it's pretty fun for a couple hours at a time. Then it gets boring because stealth; the main focus of the game, just feels like a suggestion when you can walk into any engagement and just tank everyone. I only have the rebel collection (black flag and rogue) and I'm happy with them because I don't think I could play one of the ones that doesn't break the monotony with awesome naval battles. I really like games that are really 2 games you can switch off playing when one gets monotonous. Bored of being an assassin? Go be a ship captain for awhile until you get bored of that, then go back to being an assassin. Brilliant.
AC3 also has naval combat. It's like 1 or 2 main missions and the rest of it are side missions
Yeah and the best part of Rogue is no fucking repetitive trailing mission😂
Agreed. I stopped playing pretty early through the first one. The story was so embarrassingly stupid and boring.

Quiet takedowns are kinda their shtick, could have gone with a little more sword fighting tho, it feels like they ran outta money at the end

@@jamesmccloud7535 The worst is that the people are not walking.

.
As someone who has played every single game in this series, and will continue to do so, almost nothing Dunkey says in this video is wrong.
I found the parkour in Black Flag was truly awful. I haven't played AC3 but was it the same there? And did they fix the parkour at any point or do all the more recent games have the same floaty, unsatisfying movement? I found the parkour was fine up to Revelations, then lost all interest in the franchise after Black Flag was so disappointing
Brainrot
@@goodguykonrad3701 I know this is old, but the parkour in AC3 is actually surprisingly good, and definitely polished a whole lot more than its predecessor. While it is still a bit janky, and sometimes refuses to do what you tell it to, I came to like its "careful, yet chaotic," gritty style of movement quite a bit, and it's nearly the oposite feeling of Black Flag to me, feeling almost too heavy at times. For the most part, it's reliable and definitely fun, but its occasional strangeness of the parkour system or refusal to act under perfect order of the player's inputs noticeably hampers it when they happen, and in a game that so heavily relies upon player immersion to keep itself entertaining or even engaging, you'll definitely be a bit disappointed. The statement "I had more fun than I ever had before with this game when I activated cheats" sums it up pretty well, because it acts solely to take away the mechanics that hamper your enjoyment, like guard detection and lack of easy chain-kills.
If you wanna move around the map really fast, almost nothing gets even slightly close to the efficiency of parkour, and racking up a few rooftop guards on your way without getting caught feels good. However, there's almost always some minor quirk of how the game handles your inputs that takes you out of immersion and into frustration. Mind you, this is a game where if an enemy aggros onto you even for a split second, you risk getting a reputation, which means all other guards are hostile to you until you pay literally like $5 to some town crier, or it'll force you into a long, usually very drawn out and stressful chase. In fact, they seemingly de-emphasized hay bales and other hiding places, which sucks, because it's pretty much the only way that you can quickly escape chases. Moreover, the whole reputation system calls into question "why did you even implement this in the first place, if all it does is hamper the main mechanic that people enjoy in your game and it's so easy to get rid of?" The only reason I mention this is because it *constantly* intertwines itself with, and hampers, the parkour actually being fun and efficient.
Overall, the parkour is good feeling and properly weighted most of the time, and you feel much more like a cat that perfectly weighs every little movement than someone walking on fucking trampoline material like in Black Flag, but the weird snapping of the character's wrists when you grab onto a slightly different ledge, or interpolation (look up "interpolation definition in games" if you don't know what that is) to points that the game really wants to go to, break the immersion and feel overly forced.
Highly recommend, but do keep in mind, it's imperfect enough to where you likely won't feel accomplished or like you had a ton of fun with the parkour alone. I recommend stealth assassinations to groups of enemies, as killing all of them before even one can initiate combat is incredibly challenging and fulfilling, and the air assassinations feel *superb.*
why do you do this to yourself?
İ played almost every game in franchise(unless valhalla) i am completely agree with Dunkey.
So one thing I have to say A.C. offers that you don't get anywhere else is exploring historical cities. The architecture is usually well done and you get to explore real world locations at a defining time for them. (The Notre Dame was the best part of Unity.)
Also sailing around shooting cannonballs at boats while your bois sing a shanty is a pretty uplifting experience.
True that
So they can just make a Discovery tour for 10$ instead of making an half-ass game with terrible story and missions for 60$ . Good luck with that
Yeah the Notre Dame with people glitching through the map half the time.
They had an opportunity to make that game really good with refreshing missions but they lost it. I probably like it the most among all the AC games that came after it.
@@Six_To_One - Or you can buy the game years later at a severely discounted price. I played AC1, 2, & Brotherhood, then lost interest. These days Origins and Odyssey were on sale for €30-€35, DLC included.

He has no patience, and no interest in the story of it. I don't share his preferences, so I liked the game, but his description of it makes sense and is helpful

Most importantly he is consistent with his opinions. Especially when it comes to assassins creed.
Honestly assassins creed used to be my favorite game franchise not too long ago. I must have played the entire ezio Altair and Connor games four times in the past 4 years after I first got my hands on black flag which was my first assassins creed game and to this date is still my favorite. Then I played unity and syndicate and the lackluster story and awful, repetitive gameplay just made me hate these newer games.
game sucks your stupid and biast BYE bye
yep, you gotta go with the story n feel the characters.
The whole game is an unskipable cutscenes
God of war baby!!
*cutscene
you can skip cutscenes on AC
Sounds like uncharted
Just the one cutscenes.
As much as I love Ac Black flag, the trailing missions and “don’t get detected” are annoying. A pirate don’t go sneaky around like that.
I would actively avoid the main story missions in Black Flag and go do naval combat for hours because I knew if I went back to the main missions it would be some garbage eavesdropping mission or an assassination that I couldn’t even plan out the way I wanted to, I’d have to trail the guy first for almost no reason.
Shit, Black Flag should have been a spin off instead of an Assassin's Creed game. If it jettisoned the modern day story beats it would have been better.
The annoying thing about Black Flags campaign is that the cut-scenes and characters are incredible, but the missions themselves are garbage.
The important in AC games is not the main story, but the open world and all there is side the story
But an assassin does, and you're playing an ASSASSINs creed game (and a pirate definitely goes sneaky)
I find it hilarious that I still found Black flag fun enough to play through like 7 times even with all these problems
Pirates mate. Game would have been 10x better without the AC bullshite
I'd love to see an assassins creed game made by a good developer

a 8 hour game that is all good and still feels like this game would be dishonored
Dis honored is amazing
TheMuhka wOAh, look out for this guy, he's a real badass
TheMuhka you're just pissed people are trashing on assasins creed
TheMuhka hahaha i guessed right

Please don't go any futher. It's a cesspool of people dogging others cause opinions nowadays are illegal
I understand that, it's just fun to read.
Dunkey’s review of Assassin’s Creed is nitpicking and biased and shows how his lack of understanding of game design hurts him the most as a critic
I have never played Assassin’s Creed it doesn’t seem like my type of game
you win bye bye
uh oh, this has little something for everyone
And again, I haven't played Assassin's Creed
@@cryptox1469 This kid is clearly like 15 and this game is very important to him, so please don't leave mean comments on his video.
If you haven’t played it, don’t comment
Bruh did i really just get an Assassin's Creed Orgins ad on this lol
The most frustrating part about Assassin’s Creed’s tailing missions is a lack of checkpoints, and don’t even get me started on how many of these missions are in Black Flag.
Shut the fuck up asassians creed has good checkpoints it obvious you never played a real hard game
The most annoying part of those missions to me is that they turn around at the most random times, even when your like 20 damn feet away and they stay that way for what feels centuries.
@@armorwolf7934 ahhh rabid fanboy
Apart from other bad thing I can't agree with the checkpoint ones, I am a casual gamer and I don't have a single problem with the check points, u are a noob maybe
@@armorwolf7934 It's possible to like AC and agree with him, you know that right? Hell, even if you disagree remain fucking civil and respectful you pig.
What I never understood is why don't you just play as the assassins opposed to some dude in a machine reliving their ancestors memories what does that really add to the game. I guess you could argue it's a way to tie all the games together but personally I would prefer a game with one really well done story than have two weeker storys about the assassin and the guy who is reliving the assassins memories.
Well thats the whole point of the story, the people in the future are reliving past assassins from the creed, so they can rebuild it. Each ac game is a different person from the future, reliving the different creed members.
@phrog-ys2yf I get that, but I would l prefer each game to be about the Assassin not their ancestors sitting in a machine.

Yea
Nobody like playing through those parts
The point is to have an in-game explanation for why there's a health bar and all this other videogame stuff on the screen. They were trying to make gaming immersive. Lol
