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…
It’s now just Ubisoft slop in it’s purest form, but it gets attention for the expensive and extensively researched historical open world
People shit on the franchise because they did kind of rush production, but honestly they hold up if it’s what you’re into. It’s just kind of sad they can’t all be AC2 quality, that was probably the best of the lot in terms of storytelling, intriguing exploration, etc. I still remember climbing into that girl’s place in the opening as Ezio.

Yeah, but the advantage of PC is games “last longer” graphically.
Old games like those on PC you can max out all the settings and even use mods to further enhance it.
On an old console, you’ll always be playing at the same graphics it was released with

Almost guaranteed, at least. Consoles are now in the habit of closing their stores after a new generation or two when they stop making enough money, and there are a lot of games today that aren’t really playable without a day 1 patch or additional content requirement that are simply not included on the disc.
A lot of games (not even just Nintendo) don’t even include the game data on the physical media anymore. The disc/cart acts only as a license and the entire thing is downloaded from the store when first used.

Congrats on getting AC3 and Black Flag! The other cases can be used as bookends!
There is are 11 other games I’d rather play first before 3
I’m surprised someone actually likes AC3, most takes I see for it are terrible.
AC2 is the one people usually prefer
Why are you surprised, 3 is amazing!
3 is shit on and seen as the punching bag because from an overarching story they dropped the ball hard with Desmond’s story line.
The actual game though is one of the better stories (after AC: 2) Ubisoft ever pulled off.
2, 3, IV and Origin/Odyssey are the only times I would say Ubisoft actually tried to do something unique outside of simply pumping yearly releases with marginal engine changes.
And you’re sure this is all of them?
Physically, the only game which is missing is Mirage. Shadows is “next gen” only. Freedom Cry is digital only. And while they are not shown I do own Bloodlines and Liberation on my Vita.
I will admit, I mostly asked as a joke since Assassin’s Creed is often a punching bag for having as many entries as it does.
But I have to admire your answer, as it shows you to really know your stuff for this franchise.
PC gamer discovers consoles. Is amazed.
One of those is not like the others.
I saw it, I asked why. Then I saw it’s price and compared it to eBay. It was honestly a steal of a deal to get Chronicles.
Now, that’s fucking real savings right there (I know I know it’s only savings when you don’t spend your money blah blah.lol). So proud of you.
