Yasuke is actually a fantastic choice as far as history/narrative goes.

A shame the game looks like more generic Assassin’s Creed Mapfucking+Crowd Supermurder.

Which is fine if that’s your thing, but I haven’t been thrilled by an AC game since… well, AC1.

    Wtf? AC2 and the entire Enzio Series are why AC got a Fan-Base in the first Place. AC1 was a mind blowing gameplay curiosity with lots of rough edges.

    The last AC that got me interested was Unity, simply because it felt like AC2 in France (similar Story even).

    The last AC that got me thrilled was Black Flag… I mean… it’s legendary!!!

      I think Black Flag was so well received because it has the least amount of Assassin’s Creed gameplay in it.

      It felt fresh in AC2 but there’s only so many times you can trot out the same exact game with an extra gimmick before tedium sets in.

      Nothing highlighted this as starkly as AC3 where I realised that without Ezio I just didn’t care about the story at all.

      I hate the present day bullshit. I wish I could just stay in the animus and skip the rest. I picked up mirage and stopped after an hour. Same shit, new game, the same bugs and glitches that have been present since the first entry in the series.
