    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.

        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.

      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.

        Facts.

        I know this to be true because any company that has a name that irrationally pisses me off is a sure sign of longevity. Tencent is a perfect example, ByteDance is another.

        Both companies can fuck all the way off 👋 (but most assuredly will not… If they ever should one day, think of me – I’ll be in a champagne supernova in the sky)

    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).

    I hope they didn’t ask the same people for input who decided to use a broken torii gate as advertising material.

      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

      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.
