Enemies displaying self-preservation in AC Games

Fly, you fools!
Enemy guards fleeing from combat in Assassin's Creed games.
I could be wrong, but I've never seen the ai in Origins or Odyssey display self-preservation. As for Black Flag and Rogue, I've only seen it in mission chases, not combat.

They do though? In AC1 guards will even comment on your combat performance depending on which way it goes; if you keep getting grabbed and thrown they'll say "we're supposed to be afraid of you?" But if you dont miss counters and manage to break grabs they will say "how is this possible?". Getting caught assassinating in low profile vs deliberately executing in high profile will also get different response from guards.

As bad as this sounds, I’d love to see a similar mechanic in a fps, say you’re firing the machine gun laying down fire as the enemy comes to charge and attack, and then you see a bunch of them drop, but not cause you shot them but to take cover prone. Or if you kill a bunch of them like we see in AC, then they either surrender or retreat, idk just my two cents here

[@ustriwijayati4166]

Ubisoft did that with I am alive game, enemies trick you by playing dead and ambush you when you try to loot them, also if you wipe almost all of the enemies in a group, the rest of them will become scared, sometimes they run, but often times they fight and try to avenge the dead

[@ustriwijayati4166]

Also in Metro Exodus by 4A games, enemy will surrender if you kill bunch of them, and just like the i am alive, they can ambush you by pretending to surrender

[@IHateYoutubeHandlesVeryMuch]

I know something close to this can be found in tactical fps games. The Arma games maybe simulates suppression, but I can confirm there are actual mods in those games that, if not simply adding the feature, more accurately simulate ai being suppressed by heavy fire. I've also seen enemies in Swat 3 occasionally surrender after I fired warning shots, unloading a full magazine worth of bullets in their direction, or after directly seeing one of their buddies getting killed. The first Ghost Recon game also simulates suppression. I've seen the enemy and friendly ai prone down when under fire, but also seemingly shoot less when heavily suppressed.

[@R77ification]

Payday 2 has a similar thing. The higher the threat level of the gun you fire the more likely the enemies will try to dodge or take cover (they stop shooting when doing so). Some skills can make it so they actually panic.

[@Daniel__Nobre]

By taking assassin’s creed out of dense cities you must now accommodate for a more open world rpg type game. It got worse in odyssey imo, hidden blade is gone, still can’t 1 shot everyone, combat is wack, and the story was bad. I played AC2 recently and honestly I think AC2 or Brotherhood is peak combat. You can disarm, you can 1 shot counter with swords/the hidden blade. You have the most control over free running with a dedicated grab button, and wall ejects. I just don’t get why they would change any of these things when they give you more control. I can’t stand to play newer AC games now that I’ve played AC2 cause not being able to choose and control the combat/movement by myself is just no fun :/

Those first couple of clips made me miss the old Ass Creed games so much.

[@raymalik5171]

Damn I miss the old AC games, way better than what we're getting now

[@user-manager]

1:48 guy on the right was actually helping assassin holding his back so he could kill the left guy more conviniently

[@makoembi5722]

Ah yes the times where killing someone in AC didnt require 20 arrows to the face

[@whitewolf5872]

Meanwhile in Skyrim a group of bandits saw me kill a dragon wearing full daedric set.. “Never should’ve come here”

[@jackhazardous4008]

You don't wanna mess with a man who sprinted across the tundra in full plate male

[@Hfsm33]

Sword piercing straight through plate armor, seems legit

[@WGSen]

Jesus the last reactions are legitimate fear

[@Duskets]

Damn even Ubisoft's AI stopped caring

[@Anonymos185]

Meanwhile in Valhalla you and your goons can kill a 100 DUDES on a raid, and the last remaining guy in town with a sword will charge you like "VALHALLA!"

[@jackhazardous4008]

That's just how the Scottish were after they discovered South America.

[@shadowofthenight7316]

I miss AC

[@lukaslawrence8863]

That bomb play was 500 IQ, never had thought about that. I always used this one with impact.

[@locomojoboy2]

Enzio will always be my favorite AC lead because of the connection players had with him. I mean, we were there when he was born for crying out loud.

[@pheonix_soldier]

I like how the guy with the musket contemplated his retreat for a moment then did the joestar secret technique

[@FreedomFighterEx]

They go down on their knee and begging for mercy too sometimes.

[@Kornreis]

Actually nice feature that they have it in the game at all and already had it in AC 1

[@MrDash711]

I loved the combat in AC1 & 2 - I’m not sure why but I look back on it fondly.

[@Weezerr420]

god ill never be able to get over just how amazing the older assassins creed's used to be....& still are

[@mvajuru7620]

In all my playthroughs I would never let them run away like "Oi why you leaving yo friends!??"
