So a while back, I wanted to play Conkere bad furday. After doing some math I worked out that it was cheaper to get an Xbox One and Rare Replay, than the original game.
But now that I have Conkers, and a new box. I thought to myself. Hey isn’t this backwards compatible with 360. Which it was. But this lead me to another thought. Why deal with Ubisoft BS on PCs and their Client. Where older games force you to sign in to play them. When I could just have them on one box.
Which eventually lead me to acquiring this small collection. Total price is $155.88 CAD (before tax) and I know I overpaid for some of the later games. But it’s all on one system with no Uplay BS in my face.
Ac1 - $3
AC2 - $4
ACB - $8
ACRe - $8
AC3 - $12
ACB - $7
ACRo - $15
ACU - $10 ($7 more than i think should costs)
ACS - $13
ACC - $18 (shocked with this one)
ACOr - $20 (could’ve got it for $10 but got it on impulse)
ACOd - $20
ACV - $30 (again $10 over used)
JFC when did we end up with that many???
It’s been a while since I paid attention obviously; but I thought there were like 5 AC games, maybe 6-7.
13??? How many ways can you make poking someone with a hidden blade interesting…
15 now. There’s also… the one that was really boring. It was in like 900. In a Middle Eastern desert. I think. I couldn’t finish it lol. There’s also Shadows, which I haven’t played. People called it racist or something. The last few haven’t required any semblance of stealth, they’re kinda just open world rpgs. Odyssey was the best one from what I hear.
I really enjoyed Origins and Odyssey. Neither should’ve been called AC games though. I think if they rebranded them under a new series, and removed the micro transactions, they would be seen as really good modern lite-RPGs. Especially Odyssey. They weren’t bloated like Valhalla, and I think had some really interesting elements. I haven’t played them in a few years but have fond memories. Maybe I should replay them to see if they’re actually good or there’s just a bit of nostalgia or rose tinted glasses or whatever.
