I think the motivation is supposed to be that the Order are trying to control England, which is the new home of the Raven clan, and as such they present a threat to the clan. That's just my read on it, but as motivation for hunting down a disparate group of reactionaries...it works, but only just. Yeah... a lot of it seems like "preemptive murder" to me though. The next guy I have marked is a smith. He doesn't seem to do any harm other than making arms for the order people and Eivor is just going to murder him. I bet Geralt of Rivia and Adam Jensen would have tried to reason with such people first. And what a frigging blight Ravensthorpe is economy wise. The raiding you have to do just to construct a few more houses... poor England could probably ill afford a second viking village. Jensen would of course, knock out all of the Order and leave them unconscious all over England for the rest of time.

Honestly, at this point the whole Assassin’s creed name and lore is a burden for the stories and characters they want to write. If they just doubled down on the historical aspect and cut off the other stuff, they would be on to a winner. Call the series Timelines or something and have each game be stand alone, set in whatever era and country they fancy and more like odyssey (biased because it was my fave gameplay loop in the series) and I think they would be very well received!

Rino @rinothebouncerHUGE: Assassin’s Creed Codename Red appears to be the reason why Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel got cancelled🚀 ✅Immortals Fenyx Rising was early in development at Ubisoft Quebec ✅Immortals 2 was going to focus on Polynesian gods, and everything was coming up well, until Ubisoft decided to shift focus to Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red ✅More staff was moved to work on Assassin’s Creed Codename Red along with Hexe ✅Company leadership decided to cancel it early this month due to perceived challenges around the IP ✅3 other unannounced games were also cancelled alongside Immortals ✅The reasons mainly being to strengthen its focus on its biggest IPs and live services following weaker than expected software sales over the holiday season ✅Number of staff working on Assassin’s Creed was being increased by 40% ✅Ubisoft stated that they’re reallocating creative teams and resources to other unannounced Ubisoft projects ✅Ubisoft was planning to expand Immortals Fenyx Rising into a franchise, exploring other mythologies ✅While Immortals did find a modest success, most of its sales came from discounts and it made 70% less than Valhalla achieved in Europe, in a similar timeframe

I enjoyed Fenyx a lot. However the DLCs and the direction after the main game were quite off.
I guess nothing was lost, although it might have been interesting to see if they could build up on the funny god adventures.

A new AC game incoming and we are pretty quiet here.
Are we collectively uninterested in Mirage? I am definitely skipping it for now, but it's funny that most of us probably will too. Valhalla may have sold too well, but it didn't do the franchise a favor on this board 🤣

Loved the older games but they were also quite painful so unless they have done a good upgrade on the mechanics especially for PC players it will be a no for me and were carried by great protagonists.

Valhalla may have sold too well, but it didn't do the franchise a favor on this board 🤣 I didn't hate Valhalla, but everything I have seen for Mirage hasn't made me excited for it such as that it was originally to be DLC for Valhalla and well I am not interested in Basim's story. Combine that with some of Ubisoft's recent antics like making old DLC no longer available to those that bought it for some of the oldest AC games, I don't have the desire to buy it near launch.

Yeah it is just wrong especially when buying digitally. Part of it is exchange rate (even that probably should not apply) but it's mainly based on that it used to be expensive due to shipping costs!!!!!

I did buy this game a few weeks ago. It's preloaded and ready to go at 1 am tonight. It was 38 GB, so hopefully about the size AC games used to be. With a more focused story and objectives. I hope to see a return to the assassin's vs templars story. I had no strong feelings one way or another about Basim in Valhalla so I am curious how his story will begin and how he gets to where he was in that game. I *hated* Valhalla. I *hated* Eivor. The story was boring as shit. The only thing good was it was a pretty game.
I guess I'll see if Mirage can bring back the glory days of AC. Four and a half hours to go.

Mirage seems to get a quite mixed reception.
People agree it's more like the older games, but doesn't really fix or improve upon their issues.
It has an AC 1 mission structure - gather intelligence, assassinate target. But apparently isn't well paced in how to do the required tasks.
It has three Notoriety levels. First level - civilians recognize you and run to alert the guards. Second level - archers appear at balconies and roofs. Third level - Odyssey type Mercenary hunts you.
To lower Notoriety - we get to destroy "Wanted" posters again, lol. Or bribe the town criers.
On the technical side it has a bad Chromatic Abberation and stutters too much.

So I've been playing Mirage for a few days. It does have some throw backs and nostalgia factor. But it's also got a lot of Valhalla flavor imo. And we all know how I feel about Valhalla There is no health regen. Which the original games did have. You have to eat or use a potion, which is newer game stuff. In the OG games I had no problems (and still don't) with combat. There is a rhythm. This game makes it real hard to judge if I need to parry or dodge and if you are fighting multiple enemies, forget it. For the first time since difficulty levels were added, I had to turn it to easy. Because one hit takes too much HP. Four hits and if you're not perfect....well. I don't like spending skill points on unlocking tools and upgrading them. Basim is okay, if a little boring thus far. Admittedly I've done mostly map stuff and not much story yet. Map is very nice. Chromatic abberation VERY bad in the beginning, much eye strain. Used to it now so only bad when I first start it up. Graphics are okay, looks (sorry console players!) kinda console quality on my high end gaming pc. So far I'm gonna say it's just okay, but not horrible. *YET* I've just got to Karkh after doing starter area and wilderness. So still very beginning for me. LMK if any one of you are giving it a go and what you think.

The male and female protag are separated, it won't be like Valhalla. Akin to Odyssey but more like Syndicate, Jacob and Evie Frye as they'll both have different events.
The male is Yasuke, (born c. 1550s), Black samurai who served the daimyo Oda Nobunaga in Japan during the Sengoku (“Warring States”) period. His origins came from the several hundred African people who lived in Japan during the 16th century.
The female is a ninja / shinobi. Both characters will have different combat styles. The female will be the light class while the male will be heavier class.
Have to 🤣 when the narrator said kings 🙄 of Japan. Nope. Japan in the 1550 was ruled by Daimyo aka magnates or feudal lords.
It sounds good but then I'm not setting any high expectations.

Jacob sucked and Evie rocked so at this stage it would be a no for me, what are they thinking I am sure I am not alone in this. I even hated the whole Bayek Aya split thing. AC seems rudderless, they may have lost me forever after AC Valhalla.

It's not stated nor confirmed as such but I doubt they would implement two sets of stories for the characters that culminates in two different endings. They are using a different engine for this game. There are additional features for gameplay Besides the usual stealth and parkour, they are adding; Hitman style - disguises Thief style - extinguishing light sources to create shadows and areas to hide in It's also stated this is the last fantasy / rpg for the AC series. They'll return to linear stories for future AC titles. Oh, apparently the game is completed. They're doing the polishing and this title is slated for release next year. I'll likely get this title because I have played Hitman and the Thief series and I enjoyed both. It'll be interesting to see how they implement the two new game play. If they add climbing arrows and different elemental arrows aka Thief, I think it'll be fun.

Graphics are okay, looks (sorry console players!) kinda console quality on my high end gaming pc. Well it looks almost the same as on PC on my PS5 so there... but it looks better than any of the previous "nextgen" AC's. Especially the dust lighting is awesome, and the amount of dust and mist. Now the game itself, it is AC. It is also much harder, as Basim is not a brute who can handle 4 or more enemies at the same time. Well you can but it is not so easy I really like the setting, but I am not far enough into the story. Something odd is coming...

With the dual protagonist approach I don't have a strong opinion since I haven't seen the implementation, but if it is like Syndicate where there are main missions that you are locked into a specific character that probably will be something that will hold back my purchase. I don't mind if it is secondary quests and events that I am not required to do, but with Syndicate I found myself having issues when being forced to use Jacob when I have been playing Evie in the open world since they had different playstyles.

So I actually had time to watch the video and the guy says that he believes that the two characters will have individual missions but doesn't know if they will be main missions or side missions which sounds exactly like Syndicate. In the older games there were missions where you had to dress to infiltrate so this is not new and it again is a mechanic that can be tiresome and I am pretty sure there were missions in the older games where you had to extinguish lights or torches so again not new. So Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla were huge successes, and they are moving away from that? I enjoyed the older games but I have tried to play them again and except for Black Flag and it's ship stuff the gameplay in particular and linear storyline just do not appeal to me anymore. Bows, throwing knives, smoke bombs etc, are all old skills stuff so they are just reinventing the wheel yet they seem to think they are doing something new. They did something new with the new trilogy and it was fun, it sounds like they are trying to just please the loud few who hated the games evolution. What I and others I think had a problem with was more the move into Fantasy and away from the simple Templar v Assassin story basis/premise. If that is the main theme of the games again that would be a win but I fear going old school and rehashing old combat methods and doing the dual character thing won't get me excited to buy the games.

I've never played Unity so I'm astonished at the level of facial and body language I see. Mirage is a dud.
