bring back what made assassin's creed great please
I was introduced to AC back when I was in like 5th grade, and I remember being blown away not only by the mechanics of the game and progression, but also by the story. Completely hooked, I have purchased and 100% completed- well, nearly- every one of the following 19 games, excluding the mobile games on the phone. If the title doesn't make it completely clear where this is all going, I'd still like to give my assessment of how the series has evolved over all these years. AC one through the original Black Flag was absolutely incredible gaming, including all of the DLCs for those games. They each added new mechanics to deepen the world in such cool ways, as well as the graphics and story incorporation; incredible work.
Ubisoft created AC Unity with the idea of actually bringing their fans together as a brotherhood in that game, with one of the coolest, fun, huge, huge game located in Paris. We lost Desmond and his bloodline story, but they jumped right into other characters in another part of history and actually wrote a freaking banger game. I mean seriously, go back and play the game without the attitude of, "oh but it was so buggy." I mean seriously, the game has nearly endless gameplay, so far ahead of its time. Bare with me here, if you would, hopefully someone at Ubisoft, please, please, please, as a loving fan of these games and what truly made them so cool and what you are so poorly building your new era of games on the foundation of, not to say that every other game has been trash, but please go back and look over Unity and try to build off of that format of AC.
Look Ill admit, the origin new age style you guys have been trying to do has had some cool stuff too, but it isn't AC anymore. I beg of you to stop trying to make these games what they aren't. I'm not against change at all, and if I am the only fan here that feels this way, ok, ignore me. But if my fellow fans of the series agree, please go back to Unity at the very least and really look at what made that game what it is. The world feels huge, although it's only a small part of France, because the buildings are to actual scale and so detailed. The crowds of people make the city feel so densely alive, somewhere a hooded member of the Assassins could blend in and disappear in a flash. And for God's sake, coop. Come on, man, that shit is so freaking cool, and Jesus, I know it flopped back in the day because we just didn't have the proper tech, and don't forget the console wars. So, please, Ubisoft developers, community of AC fans, hear my cries for a return to what made these games so freaking cool.
Thanks for your time.
