ReturnOfDevsman 03/18/25 3:10:43 PM #41:	Hayame_Zero posted... Assassins Creed franchise comes out: "I can't wait until they do one with ninja and samurai!" Assassins Creed with ninja and samurai comes out: "Meh, it's an overused setting." In the late 00's, I think you might have had a Ninja Gaiden or two? But in recent years, the setting has really made a comeback. I could see some players having this outlook. Doesn't make any difference to me, though. I've always thought it was cool and never cared how many there were at one time. I always thought this was a perfect setting for the series, but like I said I gave up on the series itself a long time ago lol. --- Arguing on CE be all like: https://youtu.be/JpRKrs67lOs?si=kPGA2RCKVHTdbVrJ <cite>ReturnOfDevsman posted [p:984399551] in Assassin's...

Assassins Creed with ninja and samurai comes out: "Meh, it's an overused setting." The problem is that there's about a decade and a half between the people saying the top and this game coming out. And in between a bunch of really good ninja and Samurai games came out. I don't think it can be emphasized enough that ghosts of tsushima absolutely ate their lunch when it came to this and left them with scraps. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Proto_Spark 03/18/25 3:18:14 PM #44:	Ubisoft gets a lot of hate, but they are great at putting out a "good" game - it has the big fun open world with just enough fun side stuff to keep you engaged, and enough stuff that you can put the game down for 6 months and enjoy it when you pick it back up. They have a great record of like, 7.5/10 games that are fun to play but not world-changing. If you aren't a crazy-hardcore gamer or have other things going on so you can only game sometimes, AC games (or I guess other big open world Ubi games) are usually a pretty easy thing to put on and have fun for a while. <cite>Proto_Spark posted [p:984399638] in Assassin's...
