I can’t explain to you how deeply angry I am. https://twitter.com/thecodexnetwork/status/1387292414625337344
All I want, and desperately need is to be a blade in the crowd. To feel grounded and immersed in the setting. To feel part of a hidden brotherhood working from the shadows to take down structures of tyranny in the city they live.
Why on earth are flying dragons?

How have they strayed so far from the fucking point?
Assassin’s Creed is so fucking cool, it’s so fucking fun, it was unique and there was nothing else like it, still isn’t. Why on earth have they ditched it for shit that’s been done a million times before.

It’s crazy that they actually made us fall for their bullshit marketing. They made the trailers grounded, some mythological elements but they made out they weren’t major, they showed the Assassin symbol, they showed hoods, robes, assassinations... we fucking fell for it.
And 100% I could just stop playing, I could do that sure... But I’d just be pretending it didn’t bother me. Of course it bothers me, this was my favourite franchise, it was so special to me. It will never not bother me that they cannibalised something I loved.
And I think that’s what makes it worse. The series slowly but surely ate itself alive. It wasn’t this clean cut thing, they didn’t one day release Odyssey after Revelations and go “this is what we’re doing now”
It was slow, gradual and the series killed itself.

And don’t get me wrong, this isn’t to say I will always play these games. I honestly might not even be able to force myself to play the 3rd DLC despite this being my career.
But, the reason I continue to play and continue to complain is mainly out of a passion for content creation.
I know a lot about AC and I love creating videos. I want to take those passions and create something from it to voice how I feel but also how so many others feel too.

I feel there’s an end purpose, if playing Valhalla and it’s DLC produces another piece like Odyssey Broke Me, then to me that’s worth my time.
A video that captures how a large portion of ignored people feel about this shit.

I honestly don’t ever expect my content or critiques or analysis to change anything, that’s not really the point of it.
I just want to translate and articulate how we feel and give it a place among the discussion just to show that we aren’t gone and we still care.
