Idk whether it's just me but I really liked the Tower Defense minigame in AC Revelations. It was a fun addition, and at the end of the day, that's what games are about: Having fun.

[@thecrimsonwarlock5494]

It was unnecessary but I was fine with it

[@brokenbridge6316]

I always went out of my way to bribe the heralds or take out officials because I considered doing those the lesser of two evils. I didn't life the Den Defense at all.

[@roxastrife714]

For me, it's weird to have a tower defense game in an AC game but it's quite good actually.

Whenever I did AC: Revelations I always took the time out to bribe heralds to stop saying anything about what I did because I considered it a lesser evil than to constantly do a den defense. I had no problems at all doing it.

I actually loved bounty hunting in Syndicate and the ending of Mirage 😂

[@brokenbridge6316]

I had no problem with the bounty hunting in AC: Syndicate. Conquering all of the borrows was very fun. And as for AC: Mirage I got the point of the ending. But most who haven't done AC: Valhalla wouldn't. That's what this video was trying to say.

Me too. Its a must play.

[@brokenbridge6316]

To me that game had too many collectables.

[@roxastrife714]

Totally agree. It would have the second best story (next to AC 2) and it's very rare for AC games to play as a Templar. Not to mention the preventing assassination feature is very fun. The open world is also fun to explore. The only downside is that the game is too short

[@brokenbridge6316]

@@roxastrife714---Preventing assassinations was interesting alright. But having to be aware of impending Assassination attempts on yourself was especially crazy. AC: Revelations had Stalkers for you to worry about but AC: Rogue improved upon that greatly.

[@SuperOttoify]

Yeah... I missed Rogue when it came out. So now I thought I'd replay everything, even the ones that I missed back when they came out. Rogue delivered the most fun out of all games (maybe because it was new to me, I don't know). Shay's character was relatable and the idea that there isn't really that much of a difference between assassins and templars always intrigued me.

AC Odyssey: the fact that there is no “Hidden Blade”, the whole point and signature weapon of the assassins is the hidden blade and you give me a game without it, that’s dumb

[@MatiZ815]

The worst thing about AC1 was repetitivness and that complaint about Mirage makes no sense. How is it a flaw that the next entry in the series benefits from knowing the series? Every game in the franshise relies on you to know the overall story. I’d say that the combat system is the worst part of Mirage.

[@brokenbridge6316]

In AC: Syndicate I didn't mind doing bounty hunts or any more mission that related to taking away Templar held places. I always thought it was fun. I just have an issue with the story-telling and the use of characters. They could've been a lot more dynamic. But they weren't.

AC1 controls complaints seem to be a new trend, never heard them until less than a month ago. At least it's not the same old crap. My big complaints about AC1 are no freeplay after the story and The Kingdom being a big, bare, hard to navigate waste of time.

@mattalan6618 ac1 has amazing controls, I never agreed with them. My only complaint with the game is the repetitive side missions to get to the main missions

[@WideOldDan]

The controls clicked with me instantly, probably because I devoured every bit of content the devs put out leading up to the release. The investigations aren't bad in my opinion, they only take a few minutes and some have great dialogue. I only wish they didn't give synchronisation bars.

[@thysmurray7420]

I love the forts in AC Odyssey. Also the mercenaries. It is an interesting alternative to the desync thing for killing too many "innocents". Do you go in a fort slow, and methodically wok your way through everyone and loot it afterwards, or do you charge in swords blazing and deal with the mercenaries? Do you fight the mercenaries, or do you quickly kill the mercenary contract or do you push for a battle to clear your contract?

[@bradhaley8432]

I bought assassin's creed unity on day 1 and had no problems. I guess that I was lucky, but I did hear that most of the people experiencing the problems were Xbox users. As for video game systems, I use both Nintendo and Playstation. I still play assassin's creed unity to this day.

[@FlareTheFolf]

Glad Unity is mostly fixed, but when I bought it on XB1 day 1, it was so terribly glitchy that it literally became unplayable, I couldn't even play 15 minutes before the game crash, and it was the only game to do that

I really wish you'd mentioned the Side objectives in AC: III those were so bonkers that I can't complete a single game today. The last playthrough's I tried I abandoned because of those damn side objectives. And I wish Ubisoft would fix the glitch where you shoot a wolf or a deer with a bow n arrow and they just run off. I used to be able to kill a lot of game like that. Now I can't.

[@brokenbridge6316]

I couldn't complete the DLC AC: Unity had thanks to a certain glitch where I couldn't get past some bats. And all because I couldn't light a certain beacon even though I knew how to do it. So damn annoying.

[@kpopersword]

These games or saga can have flaws, things we dont like... But still is the best saga (or one of the best sagas) ever created... I love the saga

[@kpopersword]

I might be the only one but I love the side content of AC, the grinding system... I mean... I prefer these new games than the first ones cause I always do the collectibles... And yeah it takes a while but its so satifying knowing u did the 100% of the game and not just the 40% of the game... Besides there's the trophies 2 so... If u want the trophies, u have to do the side content

[@SuperOttoify]

@@kpopersword I'm the same. I don't mind the grinding part. I mean, I played a lot of MMOs, so compared to those AC has the best grinding system. :D I even played Valhalla 2 times and both times I took my time with it. I gave 120 hours to both playthroughs and I didn't even finish everything, but the missions that added lore and story.

[@kpopersword]

@@SuperOttoify I just played Origins and Odyssey and yeah theyre long games difficult sometimes but theyre so well created and like I say... U can do everything (collectibles trophies chest...) Or just the story... Its entertaining both ways

[@SuperOttoify]

@@kpopersword I agree. At first I didn't even want to play Origins, because I couldn't accept the fact that AC turned into an RPG. Then after a year it had dropped I played it. I adored every minute of the story, although at the time I couldn't make peace with the game mechanics chaning. So then I played Odyssey. That game to me was a big letdown. Not because it was a bad game, but it offered almost nothing in terms of story. At least the main game. The DLCs however??? How weren't those in the main game already? The DLCs added more to the story and lore of AC then the entire main game... So yeah, I didn't really like Odyssey that much. I loved Valhalla though. The fight system suits the Viking era better (but this is just a personal taste issue). My problem with Valhalla was as the video states. Some stories and regions were completely unnecessary. The story though? I've had the most fun with the story since the Ezio saga. The Isu and sci-fi parts were woven into the whole game. The artifacts, the legendary weapons and characters. It's a shame they have added too much important story elements into the DLCs, like in Odyssey. That, I will never understand. And honestly? People are freaked out by the amount of side activities in Valhalla, but most of them are unique and have interesting little stories. And more than often you don't even have to go too far from the main quests as the side activities are littered around the main missions. There are game FAR WORSE in this respect. (To mention a few I liked: the dude with the axe in his head; the one where you had to let the cats out of the house to hunt down rats in the wheat field; the part when you have to tell the little girl that his dad is not coming back; the part when you had to fistfight a guy who has the strongest fists in England; etc.)

[@kpopersword]

@@SuperOttoify Im the other way around... I didnt like the story of the first one, like so repetitive all the time killing subjects... Ezio was better but feel idk... Not liking so much so I tried Odyssey and Origins and I loved them great story line great characters, great control, the eagle vision was great too... (My personal opinion I repeat) then Im playing the story of Ezio and Valhalla and I have to say, I was wrong Resuming, its a great saga with a great story line great characters... I have nothing wrong to say about it now

[@VigilantKnight005]

I find "Revelations" hard to hate, but I think it's bullshit that you can't win a fight in den defense after the tutorial. The first AC has parkour, but its controls are ass. So is its combat system. I hated the combat system in "Rogue", too. I beg to differ on the worst thing in "Origins". The speeches from the Messenger about the Great Catastrophe were utterly pointless to me. While the star circles are nice, I found the War Elephant fights pushing on the side content. If anything sucks about "Syndicate", it's that you can't start a new game.

[@TurboGibby-bh8bu]

Odyssey and Valhalla are my two favorite picks without a doubt! Mirage is good too, but seems more of a mini game than an actual one, especially compared to HUGE games like Odyssey and Valhalla. What I dislike about Valhalla is no matter how long or little you wait, your health will not regenerate even a little bit. But I've since grown used to that. What I dislike about Odyssey is similar to the forts thing on this one. I like to leave NO AREAS UNCOMPLETED, but what I don't like is half the time I loot the said forts, I can't even use the gear I get because it's already usually 2-4 levels below my ranking in the game! And also the stealth system in both Odyssey and Valhalla are not that good either.

[@tomason86]

I loved Unity, it's one of my favorite AC games and on my playthrough i hadn't encountered many bugs. For the first one I'd say that the worst thing are the repetitive missions, i dont remember struggling with the controls.
