So a story mode? Like the first AC games? There is a story and you play the game while the story unfolds and the writers decided what happens and you get immersed in the story without five hundred fake decision that make no difference what so ever?
I agree, but also noncanon can get pretty fun. Imo the best ending I’ve recently seen like this is actually a cod game where you slowmo kill all the AI protagonists and nuke Europe
Anything with bonkers ideas or decision is fun. I mean kicking a squirrel against a tree in baldurs gate 3 is one of my favorite memories of our play trough.
Don’t forget the far cry(4?) that ended after waiting 10 m after the villain said wait 😁
I must’ve missed the last 10 yrs of COD but that sounds wildly fun!!! Would you recommend?
It’s been pretty hit or miss the last few years, but black ops 6 is definitely worth it. The noncanon scene I mentioned is in Black Ops Cold War, which is about 4 years old now (Bo6 is also it’s direct sequel). It’s a lot of fun, but to unlock it you’ll have to solve some tricky and well hidden but simple puzzles throughout the whole story. It might take a few tries to get it, but it’s more satisfying than the canon ending imo.
nuke Europe
it’s more satisfying
Putin???
I think this is the exact opposite of story mode. Most of the time “Story mode” is extremely easy gameplay so you can just focus on the story.
This is basically “gameplay mode” where you don’t need to pay attention to the story at all or make any story decisions.
I typed about six or seven different kinds of replies to this before deleting the entire thing each time.
I don’t particularly have anything to add to this topic, other than I am voicing my frustration by expressing that I had to realize multiple times that either I didn’t care enough to argue with people about it, or I didn’t care enough about this game to bother resoonding to replies about it.
Ubisoft can go bankrupt and Tencent can go next.
the only decision that matters in the entire franchise is whether or not you hug da Vinci in the second game. that’s where player-choice peaked for assassin’s creed and i will not compromise on this.
So… A regular Assassins Creed game. Mind, I stopped at Rogue.
Tbh, this isn’t a terrible idea for people who tend to use a guide anyway? Depending on how perfectionist I feel, that’s sometimes me (but the ideal game doesn’t lock you out of content over a joke answer in a random dialog).
So don’t use it if you don’t like it. It’s an option.
The one thing I really want from my rpg is less role play
When did Assassins Creed become a RPG? It started as a Prince of Persia successor with no role playing at all. The last one i played was Black Flag, which also didn’t have any RPG in it.
Origin.

yeah, just give me a g
Good thing it is an option and you do not have to play it
I hope you’re joking.
I know you’re joking, but assassin’s creed could unironically use less role play. The games have been downhill ever since they introduced it
I wouldn’t use it myself, but I actually think it would be beneficial to knowing what the “real” ending is. I like knowing what the writer’s intent was even if I am allowed to do something different.
I hope they didn’t ask the same people for input who decided to use a broken torii gate as advertising material.
This isn’t the first RPG AC to have that feature, I’m pretty sure, just the first to label it “canon.” And it’s true there are people out there who are extremely strongly opposed to narrative freedom and obsessed with knowing objective canon, considering it infantilizing to allow players the freedom to influence characterization in dialogue. I cannot fathom what leads anyone to that mindset but I’ve met a few.
They may be a tiny minority but this seems like a harmless and low-effort way to accommodate that handful of weirdos.
(Hilarious that this is happening in a game where the series villains are the people trying to eliminate free will, though.)
Lol gaming, for noobs, by noobs
What’s next the games play themselves?
Isn’t that pretty much idle mobile games? You hit play and let it do its thing then you level up some attributes so it can do its thing for longer and hit play again and repeat.
Saying that as if watching people play isn’t more popular than actually playing the games.
Watching someone play a game and a game that plays itself are 2 different things
A “game that plays itself” is a movie. We already have that.
This just keeps getting lamer and lamer.
More lame by adding an optional game mode?
If you want role playing style, play that way. If you want a story on rails play the new mode (or one of the old versions that worked like that)
