Pretty tempting to get #ACValhalla for 37.80 MYR. As far as recent #AssassinsCreed#games go, I didn't finish #ACOrigins which isn't surprising cos I got distracted with many other games I have that I also haven't finished. #ACOdyssey, at first I played the male character and I thought meh I didn't like his accent lol and his character had too much testosterone (or what I describe as he's too ooga booga) so I gave it up - until long later I tried playing the female character instead and I loved her character better and the game itself was actually decent and fun so I almost completed it.
I was interested in the game before bcos a #Vikings setting seems interesting to explore but bcos it's set in the UK, I think, I've to say the world/landscape itself seems pretty dull compared to something like Greece in Odyssey (again, not sure about Egypt in Origins since I've only played it like 10 mins).
The big reveal for one of the games I've been working on for a little while is happening in about 40 minutes. Excited to see it and what the reaction is going to be. (Yeah, I haven't seen the trailer internally myself yet.) You can find that happening over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vovkzbtYBC8
#OnThisDay, April 18, 1775, express rider Paul Revere was tasked with traveling from Boston to Lexington, Massachusetts to alert the colonial militia about marching British troops (depicted in Assassin’s Creed III, 2012)
A very derivative game with an interesting story that doesn't really get to exercise its full potential due to being rushed (a common theme with AC, but this one is particularly glaring).
I feel like smaller games in these franchises really should divert some of the work that goes into the VAST amounts of side content back into providing a tighter main experience.
Also, it didn't let me take a screencap of any end scenes so...
Some screenshots I took while playing Assasin's Creed Origins (on Playstation 4).
I took loads of shots, so may share more later. Still need to finish the game some day...
Ich spiele gerade Assassin's Creed Valhalla und bin sehr glücklich mit dem Spiel. Dabei geht es mir gar nicht ums "große Ganze", sondern gerade um die kleinen Geschichten und Details. Eine wunderbare Entführung zur Entspannung. 💕
I finally finished #AssassinsCreed 2 from the Ezio Collection on the #NintendoSwitch. 45h clocked — I didn’t realise it was quite so big when I started! For a game I mainly play for half an hour before bed each night…it took me a while. Really good though, much improved from the first game.
Need a palate cleanser next. Not sure if and when I’ll go back for Brotherhood/Revelations, considering the commitment required. #ShareYourGames#MstdnGames
Even factoring for its development getting upended by the early COVID age, the ending of #AssassinsCreed Valhalla was pretty bad. Confusing in a number of ways. Literally looking at the screen going "for real?".
And I was around for how the Desmond arc "wrapped up", too! Maybe that's the true meta text of the series, "endings are hard" 🥴
I've played through Assassin's Creed Mirage, playing out in 9th century Baghdad.
It was short, but that doesn't equal bad. It was easier to enjoy the historical facts without the distractions a large game necessarily offers.
It was refreshing to hear Arabic being spoken without “the Arabs being the bad guys". In Valhalla, they got all translations from Scandiavian languages right, and in Mirage they get the politeness of everyday Arabic across.
