As if the story of Revelations (I've just saved Europe from one of the most evil families to ever seize power, time to go loc🐽k myself in a library and die), 3, Unity, Syndicate or Origins were much better.....

The most compelling story the games have is 4 in my opinion, you can trace the actions of the anꦚcestors to the modern day almost 1:1, obviously the Templars want to find the Observatory to bolster socꦺial control over the population and they're using the fictionalised Assassin's Creed games the modern day protagonist is working on as both a source of information and propaganda. Cool tie in.

Best part of Revelations was the cursed Animus bits. At least Shadows cares about the rest of its world where the other weak entries insist upon their weak story to the point of frustration. I found Shadowsꦜ a lot better if you treat it the same as 2: it's not the story of the Assassins vs Templars - it's the story of Ezio, who becomes caught up in a conspiracy and forced to become an Assassin, the sa♛me as Naoe begins her journey as a journey of personal revenge.

(Also, no interesting characters? ♑Really? Melon and Lemon weren't interesting?)

Disagree, Morrowind was still heavily based in old 🐓school dice systems, whereas Oblivion became as accessible as it did because it blended more of the action/adventure themes in a somewhat watered down way next to Morrowind.

Look at the QOL updates Oblivion has had with the remaster and Skyrim has had in the form of DLC and creations - if Morrowind got that treatment with a similar remaster I'm willing to bet it wouldn't go down anywhere near as well, because what makes Morrowind s𒈔o excellent imo is how it feels like you're playing an old school tabletop RPG but with the very new (at the time) idea of this big open world with hundreds upon hundreds of unique characters, detailed locations, that general sense of immersion that comes from exploring a 3D world like that next to the first 2 Elder Scrolls games

That's where I think a lot of major s🎉tudios have missed a trick where it comes to remasters: it's not abou🔥t the technical upgrades or the enhanced visuals or new mechanics - it's the soul and effort behind the project

The same is true for their Dark Souls remaster, it still feels like you're playing Dark Souls with all the broken nonsense you can pull off, but with the quality of life and framework updates 🎃it needed

That's what DLC is for, the content they wanted to put into the game but couldn't for any number of reasons. Not half baked, half imagined ideas which are somehow already on the drawing board prior to release. St♉ories, systems, and mechanics that complement and enhance the original experience - not bring it up to where it should h🐻ave been in the first place.

The new Doom game seems to buck this trend massively. One review I read for it was equally hesitant about "Doom But More" and as it turns out, they've managed to add the perfect amount of More and still add t🔜hings which are totally out of left field - but still feel like Doom.

Hell, there's even a section where the author theorises that some of those concepts probably sounded completely crazy in design meetings, but heওre we are at the pointy end and all anyone can say is "why weren't you doing this sooner?"

Nobody wants t🌠o play another Last of US remaster when Naughty Dog could be making another Jak & Daxter - THAT'S where the tiresome parade of ✨remakes begins to get grating, when it comes at the cost of revisiting old ideas with new eyes.

You didn't really think they'd spill everything did you? Nearly every int🅰erview where this has been brought up with CDPR people, they've either said "he's alive and well somewhere" or "he's bound to show up at so🤪me point", it's a pretty safe bet he'll be in the game at some point and they're trying to stay hush.
