The story was focused around a sword, Japan's version of Excalibur and after Nobunaga is assassinated, the monk joins the brotherhood. Credit goes to InfinitaleChronicles on twitter who was apparently involved with writing said story . Which to me, that sounds like an incredible story in-line with every other AC game.
Not being received too well by the Japanese folks, so will be interesting to watch this one to see what happens.
I thought YT got rid of the thumbs up and down due to negative feedback like this? - maybe its just an option.
Having AC in Japan/ Asia has been a desire for many fans for a long time (I think Ezio's apprentice was Asian so it's been sorta teased since Revelation) so it is a shame that they're fumbling this already
Agreed, also not sure how a dude who's gonna stick out like a sore thumb in Japan is gonna be able to blend into the crowd unless they've gone with a stealth character, or tank character kinda thing. But yeah a pretty big blunder.
They did get rid of it, but there's extensions that re-enable it. It's pretty useful to have!
On the sticking out point, there will be dual protagonists that you can switch between: a samurai, with mechanics more akin to recent AC games and a shinobi, with stealth/parkour mechanics akin to the original games
I think it looks pretty decent tbh
a well timed announcement with a TV show. But november 15th quite far away.
Comments are pretty negative, so is the likes counter.
Looks like ubisoft managed to fail where they could craft a masterpiece
The like-to-dislike ratio is quite something. I'm withholding judgment though. I did a little reading on it, and there's some cool stuff in there. I like that they're combining the old and new styles of the AC games. Though the proof will be in the pudding as they say.
The idea of a stealth character and a hack n slash tank character is pretty cool depending on the persons playstyle.
Though I'm definitely concerned about how they plan to monetize Shadows. Allegedly there's multiple 'mini' season passes which will probably be paid for that unlocks different cosmetics. If you can earn them free, fine I don't mind.
Ubisofts stocks haven't responded too well either.
Well that's all decidedly less promising. I've noticed that too with the heavy discounts; they're the sort of games I'll always delay buying because they'll be just as fun a year later when I can buy them for half the price.
