Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies"

    I really liked the first AC game but when I played Odyssey I was disappointed. Beautiful game, fun mini-games, nice subsystems like upgrading the ship and whatnot. After the initial couple of hours I started to feel like everything is a chore.

    Need a map? No way to buy, you have to run/ride and climb the chore tower.

    Want to use equipment? Grind chore for the XP to meet the level requirement.

    Want to beat a quest handed to you early? Grind XP

    Want to complete side quests? All of the boilerplate fetch/kill quests.

    Just please, give me a starting weapon that’s good enough and I can just stealth kill my way through the main quest. Also, just allow me to buy the map.
