Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?

I agree, but the main problem is the “years later” part of your experience. Assassin’s Creed had many gameplay innovations with (for the time) amazing graphics that shaped certain game mechanics for years to come, but gaming has evolved…

That’s why many of these former “innovations” have lost their shine and sometimes even became annoying (e.g. climbing a tower to unlock parts of the map).

“years later” does not matter in my case because it wasn’t that many years later l—probably only 3 or 4 years after release, and I don’t play western action RPGs or stealth games. I think the first Assassin’s Creed is the only Ubisoft game I played, for example, and it surely did not influence any of the games I actually play: Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, Hellsinker, or Guilty Gear.

Pretty sure I would’ve had a problem with it on release because it’s shitty repetitive design.

  Yep it absolutely was a problem on release.
  
  I enjoyed playing ac1 back then but it was very repetitive.
