Not to be like a hardcore Ubisoft/Assassin's Creed defender (I loathe Ubisoft), but I've loved this series since I was little and have recently been having fun replaying older games,, and noticed something happening more and more in recent years

People's criticism on the new AC games having too much "magic" or whatever in them is really funny because it has been kinda crazy since the very first game??? The ONE thing every game centres around is magical objects to enlsave all of humanity and an ancient civilisation of higher beings that are basically Gods?

If anything, I really love the mythology themed activities the newer games have, especially because most of the times it's kinda optional too, so you're not always forced to engage in it. But even then, as someone who's always loved mythology, I really love this stuff.

And it's been there since the beginning, sure it's more part of the main story now, but people saying ohhh AC used to be realistic and historically accurate!!! Is just kinda. Idk man. It always took liberties to have it's own storyline while shaping the accurate history to be fitting for that storyline, and it still does that. Even anything, with the discovery tours (? Was that the name?) In recent games, it tries to be even more educational and in a way everyone can experience the historic worlds.

Now, I have A LOT of criticism with AC, and I hate Ubisoft as a whole like all gaming companies lol, and I get how AC doesn't feel like AC anymore and more like their own seperate games, but that's a complete other thing.

So if I see people complaining about those "magic" or "mythology" aspects, then, idk, maybe AC just wasn't from you from the beginning on and thats fine, but is it valid criticism for the game if just you don't like it? Like there are popular games/shows/etc I just cannot get into, and that's totally fine, you're not supposed to like everything!

I'm no expert when it comes to this, like I personally couldn't finish Valhalla yet, bc it felt very bland and the world felt so empty and small, it is a huge open world, but while replaying AC2 recently I had so much more fun, even though I've already platinumed the game years back and have spent so much time in this world. But it just feels bigger and has much more atmosphere. In Valhalla, I often just had to laugh at line deliveries, not because they were funny, but because it was just so bad and soulless.

And I'm not sure, is this criticism for the game as a whole, or is it just how I felt about the game personally? Because other people love the game. And I get it, it looks cool, and the character mythology analogies are really neat imo, but just the way it was written and designed feels very like all just a show from the outside. It's like when I have a cool story idea. I'm thinking okay, here are the characters, this is the main plot and woaghh cool plot twist here would be cool! And then I try to bring it down in text and it's just...hm...Okay how the hell do I connect this all. That's how Valhalla feels to me, if that makes sense??? 😭😭

I wouldn't be a good game critic, because I would spend too much time thinking about what type of my criticism is actually valid and what's just my own gaming taste I guess, but it's not like critics have ever differentiated those...

BUT YEAH to get back to my point, of course at the end of the day it's not that deep, it's just one of those random things I thought about again when seeing some posts about it.

But it's just always kinda funny to me when someone either just remembers AC from vague memories 10 years ago or have just seen random gameplay from it and don't remember/know about all the wild things that happened in the story (both past and present storylines of the games) and think it's some super serious historical documentary 😭😭

I don’t why and I feel kinda weird saying this but…why is Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton so handsome in the prison outfit? Is it because we get to see his pretty jawline?? His nice hair?? HIS NICE FACE??

mulan tried to sabotage aurora's marriage. she was actively trying to ruin her life and happy ending for her own selfish needs. it was a forced love triangle to pander to the woke mob.

did we even watch the same show??? omg. what part of mulan constantly going out of her way to help aurora to get phillip back, even if it would sabotage her relationship with aurora is trying to ruin her happy ending?? how about mulan biting back her feelings to support aurora's pregnancy, putting aurora's relationship with phillip OVER HER OWN FEELINGS??? wow. and then she left to give them the space to maintain the peace and to stop intruding on their family (not that she ever was). pull your head out of your ass. mulan was nothing but caring and considerate and amazing and honestly i think that everyone needs a mulan in their life. truly the most supportive friend of all time

[assassin's creed] lads i just realised i can turn my bedroom into the bureaus. like. i have the crafting skills. this will also be a great excuse to buy a rug and even more floor pillows. i already have a ton of vining plants (pothos and scindapsus. alas, morning glories or thinner leafed vines (whatever vines they put as the game's asset) dont grow well indoors) that'll make my window look like the bureaus' trellises. i can just be in the jerusalem bureau—my current favourite safe spot to Exist in.

Was going back through the AC3 script photos I took and cross referencing them with the game footage I have saved and realized these lines were cut:

ALSO

Connor originally cradled Haytham as he died…

Don’t mind me, im just gonna loose my mind over these findings-
