@coriander they absolutely could have released half the assassins creeds and remastered the existing ones twice as often and made more money because people pay more for a single player game with a good story than they do an annual derivative fetchquest slog but this time in france!

@coriander it is really interesting because like, call of duty has a singleplayer but after modern warfare nobody played it, it was a multiplayer game they could just keep releasing primarily

but ubisoft tried to do that with a singleplayer game with a critically acclaimed story, and like first of all, why, and secondly, has any other narrative-driven series gone quite so hard like that?? like bethesda gets on fine just rereleasing skyrim every year

@coriander yeah i mean they just made too many of them

@coriander i thought it was narratively interesting when i played it in like freshman year of college but my understanding is that the series in general failed to live up to the potential it held (i have never finished another assassin’s creed game)

@coriander not being able to dive off of buildings straight into an assassination will be a downgrade tho

@coriander honestly i think pokémon battles instead of murder might be an improvement; the plot armour of important characters in ac2 was always annoying

@aschmitz i mostly just queue up entire albums
