And none of those concerns exist for those of us who play our Switch 2 docked 99% of the time and have the disposable income to where owning one is not an issue. Don’t get me wrong! I’m a PlayStation fanboy through and through, but the Switch 2 is a pretty cool little piece of kit.
Really? The cons are that it has the same shooting & looting mechanics that (due to this series) literally defined the genre? AND a personal preference about the UI design? I understand the performance knock - well deserved. But the other two points make no objective sense.
And in the pros you forgot to add in all the improvements in traversal mechanics. There are a lot of them.
Thanks. Would you mind being more specific what it is about each of those criteria that you did not care for? In other words, what was it about the behavior that bothered you? What was it about the attitude that bothered you? What was it about the looks that bothered you?
I've played every AC through Valhalla. I can't take another giant RPG collectathon. I WANT to play an AC game - but not like this anymore. Especially with NO modern day to speak of.
Yeah - might be the best game I’ve ever played. That game was so emotionally draining and the gameplay was so tight that when it was all over, I didn’t even pick up a controller for six months.
You mean to tell me that the parkour designed to get around in the vast open world and period correct architecture of feudal Japan feels different than the parkour designed for the cramped city streets in Mirage? I can’t believe it! Who would’ve thought!
It will not. Different audiences. There will be tons of people owning both systems. Exclusives still matter - especially console exclusives. Have you seen God of War Ragnarok? The Switch 2 will never be able to come close to that level of visual fidelity.
Switch vs. PS4 - what interest does Sony have in continuing to develop for it all? Right. None. Switch - how many are still in use every day? And it’s Nintendo’s current gen system. This doesn’t seem that hard to figure out.
So many Nostradamuses on this website. It’s AC. It will sell despite the weird desires expressed here hoping it will fail. It won’t. I used to be a big AC fan. Played all on release from 2 forwards. Valhalla burned me out and I never finished it. Waiting for Mirage to drop in price and maybe I’ll try it.
This is what happens when the retail cost of games does not increase along with the cost of everything else. Since the PlayStation released in 1994, the cost of games has barely even moved.
Well, I'd love to sit here and bitch about how ridiculous this result is but I've got a level 8 College of Swords Bard who needs some quality time today.
For the 6th year in a row the show was on the same night as my kid's school’s holiday band concert. I’m glad BG3 won GOTY. Frankly it’s really the Game of the Generation so for for me.

A hot cake is just a type of pancake. Usually thicker and browner than a standard pancake – cooked for a little longer.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4 Remake Makes Big Changes, Drops Modern Day Story and Adds RPG Elements
The animus IS Assassin’s Creed - otherwise it’s just another adventure game.
Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?
Borderlands 3 and Baldur’s Gate 3 amaze me every time!
TLOU2 is also pretty damn impressive.
And the Spider-Man games! Horizon as well.

Re: Animus Hub to Bridge Assassin's Creed Shadows to Modern Day Story
Hmmm. If they actually follow through with adding in modern day, I may have to rethink my stance on not getting Shadows (1st AC I’ve ever passed on).

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage PS5, PS4 Includes a Desaturated Graphics Filter to Match the Look of the Original

The formula never got old and stale. The writing got sloppy and that detracted from the overall plot. Then they chased the Witcher 3 formula.
