Meh, it's another Assassin's creed game. I've lost interest in them they never seem to be doing anything new or interesting enough for it to warrant my attention.

I get a real gangs of New York vibe off of this and carriage driving adds an element not yet seen in an AC game. It's slowly evolving into what I think next years will be which is 30s New York with a godfather like theme to it.

This franchise is in desperate need of a complete overhaul. Combat has been incredibly basic since the first game and stealth is a joke. More than anything, I wish Ubi would dump the Animus meta-narrative crap once and for all and just make an alternate history game. They've gone absolutely nowhere with it ever since Desmond died.

I think they're at the point where they want their combat to feel similar but increase its difficulty, whereas now it's a timing thing for your parry and you can't parry/block everything and there's enemies you can't counter-kill and have to find another way around them such as guard-breaking etc... Basically if they changed it to Dark Souls or Zelda like combat it wouldn't even feel like an Assassin's Creed game anymore, also I don't see a problem with the whole Animus thing aside from the taking you out of it thing which they got rid of in Unity... Only reason you know you're in an animus (Which you're not, kinda, more like a home console-version of it I guess?) is 'cus you're told that... I mean, the only external connection you have in that game is that one assassin chick that hacked into your gaming experience (Rebecca probably?)
If they keep it like that for Syndicate then I'd be happy enough, and it's clear they've re-vamped the combat again, looks more fluid and faster now so that may increase the difficulty, who knows

Considering the rate they are going they only have maybe two years left before the series is so modern it's practically Mafia or GTA. I can already imagine the next few years.... 2016 - 20s New York 2017 - Assassin's Creed Anniversary 2018 - 40s Berlin 2019 - AC2 Ezio Trilogy Remastered

I don't know. Maybe they shouldn't call it Assassin's Creed then. Historical open-world has always been a big draw for the series, maybe the biggest draw it has left. AC as a franchise are playing catch up with a decade old formula and each year yields mixed results.

I was gonna type a long story of how the completely fucked up the modern day story but I just realised I stopped caring about it after they killed Desmond off and started coming up with more contrived reasons why the people we are playing actually matter to the world in some way. Simply put it, it's stagnated to the point I stopped giving a toss about the story at all and can't really stomach the game anymore
this is coming from someone who owns
Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Assassin's Creed 3, Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag, Assassin's Creed Rogue.
4 was when the story stopped mattering and Rogue was when the last bit of interest I had died.

Hell, I'll charge up my phone and post a picture of the special edition of AC3 I have when I was still in love with the game...
ohh how that story ending fucked that one up big time and the series started going downhill

Looking forward to it Mr.Spinks.
I think Ubisoft is doing alright with it. ACU was like a reboot when you consider the absence of a playable modern story. It was nice. They should stop very soon though.

We keep talking of it getting closer and closer to modern day age, but I personally don't see anything stopping them from going way back with it... I mean, 4 was set before 3, nothing really saying they can't find other interesting time and location periods between what we've already seen... Maybe some ancient Greece or something

They can't get more than 100 years or so away from each game. They don't have to time to make a solid game every year, and go hundreds of years into the future or past. They have to recycle what they have and if they have to remodel everything, every year, the series will get even more buggy
