The new games are probably better then the old ones
But nostalgia and the fact that it was something new at the time...
By today's ac, ac1 is sub par
They're not. They removed the parkour and social stealth options, the stories suck, the modern day story is worthless, the scenarios are not longer fun to climb due how small the buildings are and how sparse the areas are.
They did not remove parkour and social stealth lol. I don't know what drugs you are on, but in Valhalla you absolutely do have stealth, for example distrust areas.
Parkour is also available in cities. And stories sucking? Lol. Valhalla literally draws from actual historical mythology, as does Odyssey. Modern story is also more than just "OMG??? Symbols??" nowadays, having more depth, and also continues like the older games, eg. a character being replaced by another, or killed, just as the Ezio games have.
Also, the buildings are actually bigger than in the older games. In the older games you could walk around one in like 8 seconds, in the new one you might need 30 seconds.
They did dude. You're just straight lying and the videos on YouTube and comparisons are all out there to see. Is either removed or stream lined so much... Shit, even Unity, which wasn't a great game got those right.
Wtf asked for real mythology in AC? The Ezio trilogy and even 3 had it's own mythology and pathos plus the way the Templar conspiracy was going behind all of that actually felt relevant. The hidden glyphs and clusters in the games gave it a X files feel unmatched to this day.
While I might or might not be one, no need to assume that someone is a dude.
I have played every single game and still have access to them. I cannot say that of many people.
If you wish to argue in good faith, never straight up assume someone is directly lying. Be an example for the internet and show good faith!
That said, that you think later games don't have their own mythology, may be signs that you never played those games, because they also draw forth on those in-game mythologies. 'Course, I cannot say so, but if you haven't, I suggest you to do so; and if you reject, then you have no right to complain, honestly. Complain once you've played through it.
In short: nuff.
But that doesnt mean these games are bad. It only means that the core aspect of what the series originally was has been thrown out and replaced.
By something mediocre and generic. It is worse. Back then you could tell apart AC from other games, nowadays is a cheap clone
Honestly they're not
I played constantly up til black flag, got unity and the Viking one, and hated both. Stopped playing after an hour
