If you readed my reaction to the other guy, u would see i couldn't care for quests in games. They are nothing but filler content to me its not the main meat the games offer if basically filler. And frankly while u can like the lore of the games etc that's fine it still doesn't make for good gameplay content which is where i play games for ( some people obviously like reading books in games, more power to them )
FF14 the first 150 hours is nothing but walk to npc, deliver quest and walk to next npc deliver quest. Its shit gameplay and frankly that's all there is too it. I can say this becasue i have more then a 1000+ hours in most mmo's included ff14. . i played ti to the end, and i did end game content. FF14 was a great mmo until u hit 50 i believe where the quests suddently start to become a requirement ( it opens up and becomes good again at end game aka raids). The devs know its a problem that's why they added potions and that's why they announced for a complete revamp of the earlier base game.
The game is designed around "old players" that keep up with the game and updates. For new players its a chore to sit through and frankly that's the first experience u get with it, if they already didn't gave up on life by creating a user account ( but that's another thing )
The fact u start with stuff like 10 rabbit asses to a rock, its clear u didn't play much of valhalla if that's all u get out of it, there are incredible low amounts of quests that feature this which are sacrifices towards druid altars where i believe u only have 1 in a giant map of.
U are like the guy that focuses on that 1 rock in R&C that isn't loading a texture in and say look this game looks like a PS2 game absolute garbage.
I base games on the entirety it has to offer and i can do that because i actually play those games wtih all the content it has before i judge it.
Now i get it, AC isn't for everybody u gotta have a MMO mindset to even jump into it, or care for those time periods and the architecture + landscapes. Otherwise u will be bored to death and call it a day because the game has probably little to nothing to offer. However i do like it and with me many other people that validate putting 20+ dev teams on the project for 2 years every 2 years so there is a audience for it.
U shitting on me for liking something and using that as some sort of weapon on everything i say because that somehow makes sense in your brain is just you being special.
Anyway i am done with you, i would appreciate if you stop quoting me. It's my own fault tho, i should never have reacted on low blow posts u seem to like so much.
Its not 100% accurate history because its a game that feeds on a assassin trope and changes everything and the world around it. However the architecture and history in the game is absolutely mindblowing beatiful and they spend a fuck ton of time on it to present itself like that.
Alexandria for example is just amazing for me to walk through it, always facinated by that city, that library was also great.
I come from games like this.
Where u can only walk a certain path and its pictures u gotta move through. I always wanted to explore those area's which u can't because extremely limited gameplay and area's u can visit with point and click to the next picture type of gameplay.
Now we are in a world where this is real:
When i was young i grew up with Egypt mythology / with there culture of those time periods ( i have no roots there at all ) and same for greek / norse etc. I visited all the places when i was a kid as my parents dragged me towards it. i bought and played any game that goes into it and the mythology is even more interesting like visiting asgard.
It's mind blowing to me how far we have come with visuals in todays and even yesterdays games, something like these games can even exist is just amazing.
So yea for me AC games are great. Because i like there theme, hell i want them to go into china / japan / america ( they already been there ) maybe aztec would be nice, and india ( next one ). Not because i care so much for the quests or gameplay, but because of shit u see above here.
