        It will over time. They will notice that sales are going downhill so (hopefully) they will start to listen to community complains, maybe also firing some staff until that point because of “financial struggle”.

        If sales will stay the same (or be even better) then they will not try to change anything because “if it works, don’t fix it”

        It won’t but you also won’t be disappointed by it if you never play them!

    Assassins creed has been consistently disappointing me since Black Flag.

    AC2 used to be my favourite game and the modern titles are unrecognisable. They’re all just a bunch of generic, drawn out, mass appeal, play it safe bollocks.

      The most upsetting thing is that they threw out anything resembling a decent narrative to draw out the series with diminishing returns. We never got closure on the templars and modern storylines are ignored now. We could have had closure and then just had everything in animus after.

      As in you didn’t like Black Flag, or that was the last one you did? I’m currently replaying it for the first time since it came out and it’s alright so far. I completely forgot everything from the story

        Black flag was good, everything after has disappointed me in one way or another.

        It was. Most of it’s criticism comes from the fact that it’s not really an assassin’s creed game anymore. It was mostly far cry: ancient greece

      Not really, look at anno for example. Its just the big titles that are regarded as not good.

          OK, but who gives a shit about a monopoly game? Either play it like a normal person, when drinking with friends or don’t.

            I’ve watched huge vtubers play it multiple times and every single time the game ends early from a crash. Or the game accidentally bankrupts a player. It’s bad publicity

        Yea, I mean Watchdogs 2, The Division, Steep, I know some friends loved For Honor and R6: Siege is amazing (idk how the game looks today tho with all the updates they made).

        Seems people tend to see ubisoft as AC and FarCry only.

          OK, I personally think 1404 with the interesting and challenging campaign including the Venice dlc was the top, afterwards I think 1800 is the next best. My most controversial opinion is that both 2070 and 2205 where good and well made games, with some flaws of course but that doesn’t mean its bad. Shure some disliked the setting and I was septic as well.

            Never played the futuristic ones. What appealed to me with the anno games was the atmosphere of sails and settlers.
