So I was checking Game of the year list on Wikipedia and noticed that Assassin’s Creed was never Game of the Year.
Not on any list around the world did it reach the top. The first one felt very fresh, but it just did not feel complete. But the 2nd one was just an amazing game and that one got beaten on some lists by Uncharted 2 which is understandable, but also by Batman: Arkham Asylum which is basically inspired by AC.
Maybe they should just ditch the whole Animus plot. I wished that Valhalla and Black Flag were just about being a Viking and a Pirate
Screw the awards…I mean, starfield won “most innovative game” for being exactly the absolute opposite of that.
I actually disliked AC until Origins. That was nice, and odyssey is my favourite. Malaka!
The animus-thing is probably the only part that strings them together to call it AC. But for me, it was always the annoying immersion killing part.
No way…
I’m not a gaming drama queen, but that’s just silly.
EDIT: Oh, it was the Steam Awards.
That makes sense. The voting is largely a popularity contest.
It’s entirely a popularity contest.
Doesn’t make it better 😉 Still haven’t purchased. Not even pirated or played. That’s so sad they fucked it up.
I’m always exactly the opposite! For me it lets me forgive all the gamey-nonsense. Why can’t I leave the map? Because this ancestor never did so there’s no data for anywhere beyond here.
Fair point. That was indeed a good reason. But IMHO an intro would’ve been enough to explain the boundaries of this simulation. Not a whole “mini-game” around it. But anyhow, it didn’t really kill the vibe, just temporary. Loved the games. Even Valhalla was nice. At least the beginning…
It was an example to illustrate my point, not the entire line of reasoning.
