Ezio Looks To Be Reappearing in Assassin's Creed Hexe
Assassin's Creed Hexe has shown up a number of times in the news recently—and not always for positive reasons—but the latest leak out of Ubisoft leaker Rogue (via u/ZamnBoii on Reddit), have revealed that Ezio, from Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations, may be making a comeback in the new game as the protagonist's aging mentor figure. Reportedly, there are dialogue lines between Ezio and the main character, Anika, suggesting he teaches her the basics of the Brotherhood, with one line by Ezio reading "Come. Leap with me. One last time for an old man."
A handful of gameplay details accompanied the character leak, including the ability to scale trees and jump from tree to tree using branches. The majority of the game is slated to take place in Würzburg, and NPCs will apparently be more vigilant, reporting "minor suspicious activity" immediately and intervening in some instances. This, along with what we already know about the involvement of witchcraft in the game's story, suggests that the game will take place during the Würzburg witch trials during the 1620s and continued for six years until 1631. The protagonist herself is claimed to be a descendant of Ezio's sister, Claudia Auditore, but the story of Hexe seems to take place over 160 years after Ezio's debut in the franchise, so it Ezio's return is expected to be in the form of a flashback or a ghost materialized by an Isu artifact.

Here's what's going to happen: they're going to release the same game with the same always-online and the same mechanics (plus tree climbing) and the same cash shop and the same meh characters that they've been doing since 2014 and it's going to get a 7/10 from the usual suspects and it will make them enough money to allow them to survive another year.

They should change that to "More of the same". :ohwell:
I mean, I get it that Ubi-bashing is always good to score a few likes, but this stuff is just beyond lazy.
As for the game itself, I think the Witchcraft era Germany is a fantastic setting. I suppose the mechanics will be fine, they've been doing it since forever and the formula has been well polished by now. My only worry / hope is that they won't get overboard with their social justice angles.
Ghost Recon was the 1st one for me and AC's are not different, they just not got weaker in gameplayand the story's they tell are pretty much forgot by the next week. By now a bunch of them should know each other.
Will they screw this one up like they did with Shadows ?, will have to see but i aint holding my breath.
Loads of other crap they do to but not allowed to say on these forums.
But Thanks for the info all the same, but they are bargain bin at best until proven good as UBI lies i am used too.
Overall, I don't mind reasonable complaints or scepticism, I'm just tired of pointless heckling, where people just straight up make up stuff like the guy above.
But then again ubisoft is clearly manning the suicide hotline at this point so I guess it fits.Its a game franchise thats become a parody of itself, of course it deserves to be ridiculed. If that affects your personal enjoyment of said junk, thats a you problem, dont bother us with it. Nobody is stopping you from paying for this slop. But its like McDonalds. It makes you lazy and it aint healthy for anyone. You are what you eat/play/defend and get what you pay for.
In any case I've been trying not to puke after reading that one line, but I bet the edgelords are going to love the writing.From the horse's mouth:
And if you think the games on Steam don't require the Connect launcher on Steam you didn't read the small print:
After you've activated it and linked the account you can run some of them without internet for only for a time because Ubisoft doesn't like it if you don't have 24-hours access to the cash shop. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.You mean they haven't already? Those generes are popular now so maybe if they tapped into that they'd get something better than a Mostly Possitive.
The best it got was a 6.3 on Xbox, which is worse than Mirage's 6.8
I didn't check every single AC on Metacritic because it's a waste of my time but I don't think any AC game in the last 10 years has a user score over 7.3 or so. If I'm not mistaken the average is closer to 6 than to 7 which correlates very well with the row of Mostly Possitive scores on Steam. I was being generous when I said 7/10.And have you asked yourself why? In my case Ubisoft went from making some of my favorite games to making garbage wich is why I haven't bought a game from them since FarCry 5. So I do feel entitled to bash on them as much as I want. If that rubs you the wrong way please feel free to go ahead and defend them.There's barely a more fitting setting for any assassin game than Sengoku Japan and they blew it with Shadows because at this point Ubisoft isn't trying to make good games. What they're tring to do is to prove that the definition of insanity doesn't apply to them and that daddy's boy is a big boy now. So yes, they will blow it with Hexe just the same, except they'll be a little less woke this time because woke is not so much in fashion any more.
EDIT: The only way for them to not fuck up Hexe is to start hiring people that when they hear "let's make Yasuke romance Oichi" can say "no, that's a really stupid idea". And that's not going to happen.
The size of their burgers are also bigger than the UK's plus if you pay for large meal - you get a LARGE meal. Large fries and large drink. You pay for a large meal in the UK but the portions are more of a medium.
McD's in Asia is also better value compared to the UK - at least it was for me while I was in hong kong but I only had it once or twice as its still double the price for a large meal compared to more traditional food offerings.
Large meal might cost you around £13 in the UK depending what you get. Meanwhile in Hong kong the same meal would be £6-7 (and bigger portions with a side) More traditional foods would be £3-4. Although you could scale all the way up to £8 and get a proper quality meal - there is something to be had at every price point.
Traditional foods being rice, noodles & all the other traditional chinese foods in that part of the world.
Shadows the BS is just more in your face, which got more people notice.
Only ones i don't have of the AC is Mirage and Shadows and played the other twice at least, was thinking of getting Mirage again but ever time i look in to it it just leaves a sour taste.
