One of things that people keep forgetting about, is that this was supposed to be a Valhalla dlc. Since it was supposed to be just dlc, they didnt spend much time into writing a compelling story or writing scenes. Hell, they havent been doing that at all most of the time in recent years. Their focus went down more on creating beautiful sceneries, worlds and adding rather fun gameplay to it. They just thought, hey, this dlc looks like a fair stand alone game which focuses more on old assassins gameplay rather than the rpgs we make now, lets polish it and turn it into standalone game Secondly (that's a bit of a theory of mine) what we see now is different Ubisoft. Since 2013 they have united with a bankrupting (previously known for darksiders and destroy all humans) company and my suspicion is that some of the designers from THQ have taken the lead role there as well driving Ubisoft downhill. This might explain why from narrative standpoint, their games are devolving and why we can't expect the same level of storytelling anymore from them. What baffles me the most though is that they charge the same price for a 150 hour game and a 30 hour game (Comparing Valhalla and Mirage) - that is insane

Good comparison of these scenes and well-chosen. Assassin'S Creed's writing isn't any good anymore, basically since they started to just copy and paste their games. I think that's after Origin. They reinvented the formula with that one and cared about their reboot but then just did it again (but bigger - the Greek one, which I mostly enjoyed) and did it again (the Viking one, which I hated from hour 12 on forward - and it took me 5 times that to finally finish it). There are these two scenes in Origin and Odyssey where (spoilers) the little kid gets murdered and in Origin, I was shocked and had to stop playing for the day because they killed this little kid, Shadya (and of course the Bayek actor did a lot for that moment to work)... but when they repeated the same thing again, almost exactly like the one before, I went like: "Yeah, whatever. Don't even know that girl's name, and I don't care" (anymore)... Just sad, what writing stories has become in today's entertainment industry :(

there is a reason why this vid flopped boss

You are going places bud, one tip is to not play games in hdr, or at least not when recording for a video, bc there are a lot of screens that still dont support it.

Dont care about the scenes the game itself is fun
