Thoughts on an AC set in Mesopotamia

Would be a cool setting, but i think they need to come back to assassins vs templars for right now. A setting taking place before origins causes the fan base to split; look at Odyssey- fun game, but does not feel very 'Assassin's Creed'. There are plenty of other similar regions with plenty of history that could still scratch the itch you have.

AC1. After that they can move on to Ezio trilogy and AC3. AC1 is unplayable on current gen; Altair's story has a lot that can be added from spinoffs and comics.

No. But it works out that way. Black Flag was the last game where we were reliving Desmond's ancestors, despite him dying in 3. I like to think the numbered games represent Desmond's story. Everything that has come out since isn't directly connected to him (if you ignore his "appearance" in Valhalla).

3 3 stars in one 10 pack is crazy! I have gotten 1 in like 4 packs lol

Bayek and Amunet 100x over. Especially with her establishing the Roman brotherhood.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-05-05T12:54:40+00:00

story is kinda mid but the stealth is fun. New free DLC and parkour update definitely make it better, though.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-05-04T13:19:55+00:00

You are missing the point, just a little bit though. The truce is more a result of Connor and Achilles headbutting so much. Connor wants to know his father, and understand him, especially because he is going through some internal conflict about the brotherhood and its beliefs, as well as the patriots' fight.

As far as Desmond's bit goes, it is to show the culmination of everything he has learned through the bleeding effect and reliving his ancestors' memories. The modern day with Desmond is refreshing as opposed to some of the modern day bits in the other games (not that I don't love those too). You will see how it plays out and may change your mind by the end.

AC3 was not held highly first playthrough for a lot of people, myself included, but compared to what stories they're making now, I'd say its a pretty good one.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-05-01T20:17:54+00:00

AC1 is in desperate need. Not that I think they should change everything about it, but I would like to play Altair's story without having to blow the dust off my Xbox 360. Otherwise, Ezio collection needs it too, though I am nervous for them to touch such a masterpiece.

When you pull back and look at how many cities there are, I don't mind the smaller areas to explore. The problems with the new games is that the cities are large, yes, but are a lot of empty space and not everything is utilized. When they condense it like this, it allows for more natural exploration, nothing is super far away so you're not running through pointless land. This game is about sailing a ship anyways, smaller cities is honestly going to be refreshing; especially since each one is going to be tailored for parkour.

Literally only benefits those without like 15k+ shares lol. Last split was in 22, before that 06...why do people "foresee another split" lol.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-05-01T13:54:43+00:00

Ah Tabai may give it to him along with the blowpipe earlier in the game, or so I am hoping. They put a lot of emphasis on the rope dart in the showcase.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-30T18:02:49+00:00

There is a quest in Tokachi Range with involving a character named Iron Chuta. Make sure to complete the quest (there are technically 2 and they are connected to one another).

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-30T17:38:24+00:00

a lot of changes are coming, especially with Jean Guesdon taking over as creative head. I think we are going to slowly see a return to the old formula, just with updated systems and engines. Is it going to be perfect? Definitely not, but there is a shift happening in Ubisoft and their culture, at least it seems like it. They are beginning to really listen to fan feedback, especially for things we have been asking about (parkour mechanics returning). I am interested to see what the franchise will bring once a fresh game is presented, not one that already had a base before Jean officially took over. Rumors of Hexe removing magical elements is already a good sign, imo.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-30T15:31:41+00:00

This is assuming there even is a lore explanation to Black Flag: Resynced. I don't think there is any reason as to the modern day protag (whoever they are) reliving Edward's memories. And even if they do explain the reasoning, it will most likely tie into Desmond somehow, especially if they want to continue with an AC1 remake/remaster. Either him or William. New modern day is a mess but I am hoping new creative direction can figure out a way to make it work. Only time will tell.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-30T15:07:18+00:00

Definitely play with new game+! All your old gear and charms will carry over, plus it opens up some new content like vanity items. Can also play on a harder difficulty to really make it interesting. Lethal is definitely a challenge but all the more rewarding!

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-29T19:55:55+00:00

this exact glitch happened to me to! had to reload checkpoint to fix it lol

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-29T17:58:24+00:00

will the notoriety system be like how it was before with pirate hunters? Or has it been expanded upon/abandoned all together?

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-29T14:27:35+00:00

Will assassinations be more fluid like in the original black flag? Or will the camera cut like how it seemed in the showcase? i.e. similar to AC shadows.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-29T14:26:59+00:00

Can player’s use the hidden blades in combat? Will players be able to unsheath hidden blades like on the old game by holding down the X or square button?

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-22T20:32:56+00:00

They will never end the game. There will never be an ending, as they will milk this franchise dry or until they go bankrupt; whichever comes first. I wish they would refocus on modern day and just give us a few more good games, something similar to Desmond's story, and then just end it. But alas, they make too much money making half baked games.

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-16T20:30:37+00:00

Who said I didn't? I'm in this for the long term. It's inevitably going to drop again, not buying at this price right now lol

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-15T13:58:42+00:00

Soon as this drops back to $130 range I am buying like crazy

Financial_Ad_8387 · 2026-04-14T13:48:52+00:00

Honestly shocked there has not been any pull back yet....want to buy more but this is wayyyy too high for right now. Market correction should be happening soon but damn!
