you know, playing assassin’s creed origins, i just sort of assumed “okay, i don’t like this game very much, but from what i know about assassin’s creed from cultural osmosis, it also doesn’t seem very much like what those games are? so i’d probably like the other ones.” but now i’m trying to get into assassin’s creed 2, the “best” game of the series, and im realizing no i think i just don’t like assassin’s creed

#why is it so. gestures at all of it.#like to be clear origins WAS different from this like vastly different.#and some of that was clearly just origins being newer and more polished especially with the free run mechanic oh my GOD i miss how smooth #the origins free run felt. im spoiled now and ac2 just feels Bad to play. or. not bad. clunky in a way that’s aged. not even aged badly just #clearly older and less sure of what it was doing.#but anyway back to the point. origins *was* different. in ways that weren’t just polishing.#but now that im playing ac2 what im seeing is that those differences weren’t so much like. actual new gameplay. as they were shifting focus #on elements already there.#im saying the same bland problems i had with origins are still in the ‘best’ assassin’s creed game it’s just now it’s older and plays worse #i needed to be born earlier so i could appreciate it maybe.
