Assassin’s Creed Shadows Naoe and Yasuke Overlooking A Valley

This isnt going to be easy to hear.

Ive played them all and have accrued many collectors edition statues over the years.

Its with love in my heart that I say the games have always kinda sucked.

A split image of Lucius, Choo-Choo Charles and Finding Frankie.

But lets not pretend Desmond Miles was really that great or the modern-day narrative was anything special.

Assassins Creed fell off after Desmond was gone - my guy, it was never clinging on that tightly.

Heres a quick note in case you missed it: I like Assassins Creed.

Its a goofy series, always has been.

It might not be great, but it didnt fall from much higher.

TG Assassin’s Creed Has Always Been Bad Desmond Miles with internet comments and sunglasses

Accused of not being a true AC game, 12 years ago.

A mess, 11 years ago.

Any of this ringing a bell?

Naoe stares down the barrel of a firearm in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

The Series Is Good.

Dont shout, dont convince yourself things were different, and dont be racist.

Just move on, and do whatever else.

Im not defending a bad game when its bad.

Triple-A Games

Im not defending Ubisoft - believe me.

Im not telling you to enjoy it.

You dont have to like that, or pretend you ever did.
