What features would y’all like to see in New Game Plus for Assassins Creed Blackflag Resynced

This is the first game in forever where enemies aren’t level gated and neither are you. Although I forget mirage was actually similar so maybe new game plus will be similar. I just remember shadows difficulty system and level gating being very annoying. So I’m glad to have an enjoyable game again.

I for one wish that what you keep into new game plus could become optional.

I wanna keep all my customisation and weapons but I really don’t wanna start the game with a maxed out Jackdaw with golden cannons while Edward’s story is about >!&gt;!being poor from privateering and gaining wealth through piracy. A Golden!<!< Jackdaw doesn’t reflect that rather it contradicts that narrative.

A maxed out Hideout will also be strange as well. Because the hideout is part of a questline to >!&gt;!build a home for the possible future with Caroline.!<!< I think you do it for the >!&gt;!butler!<!< too.

Imo your skills, weapons, trinkets and customisation is all you need. The jackdaw would be atleast one fun thing we have to look forward to working towards again.

Also you only encounter cutters and schooners for the first several hours of the game. Even on hard difficulty with a maxed out jackdaw it be boringly too easy.

(Minor spoilers)about the gameplay details for the marooned mission sequence 8 memory 3 and the “To suffer is without dying mission In sequence 11 memory 1. But nothing about the story’s dialogue.

Hidden blade combat is cool but at the very least unarmed combat and non lethal stealth takedowns would be fantastic.

Hidden blade combat will take a lot more animations that Ubisoft is too lazy to add.

We didn’t even get more than one type of weapon. Only 3 duel sword variants.

I really wanted a feature to only use one sword you could essentially do this in the original game by picking up an enemies sword and Edward would actually fight with his hidden blade which was my favorite.

At the very least tho. I wish Ubisoft would add the feature to unequip your swords.

During the marooned mission and Jailbreak mission. Edward’s Swords look really ridiculous with no holsters. Your swords literally float in those missions and Edward didn’t have his swords during those missions in the original game.

The Charles vein boss fight should very easily be turned into an unarmed fight like with the Roberts boss fight because you are marooned with nothing but guns that Vein found. Neither of them had swords in the original game.

I also really want to be able to do non lethal takedowns by holding the assassinate button just like the original game. A player should have the free will on if they want to kill or not kill whoever they please.

If non lethal takedowns and unarmed combat are already in the game then can we please beg Ubisoft to just let us do it whenever.

🚨‼️Spoiler Alert🚨‼️Some minor spoilers for the last several games from Odyssey onwards and a major spoiler for Shadows but none for the recently released black flag ResyncedUbisoft still manages to surprise in their in capability to make good assassins creed games.

The best part to start is the first game released where you don’t play as an Assassin. After the sequel set up Origins did Ubisoft thought it be a great idea to make an assassins creed before the assassins creed doesn’t even exist yet which would be Odyssey in 2018. Now this kind of sounded interesting enough and it was fun enough to where I forgive Ubisoft and it was an honest game with no nostalgia baiting.

Enter Valhalla where the nostalgia bait era begins. You know one game with no assassins fair enough but another game with no assassins like what are we doing Ubisoft. Ancient Greece has no assassins creed so fair enough but the assassins are right there in front of you in Valhalla and you don’t become an assassin😭 You know maybe it’s to hard to to make a Viking become an assassin so fair enough even tho A pirate still managed to become an assassin in blackflag but apart from that and the glory contradiction where Eivor tells Odin he doesn’t want glory but then tells Hytham he does I guess he can’t make up his mind.

Forgiving Valhalla and skipping the part where in some universe where Loki is a Norse god makes a good assassins creed protagonist in Mirage let’s skip that and enter Shadows. From Spartans to Vikings to Norse gods in Iraq. We finally get Ninjas after asking for so long. Enter Shadows the Feudal Japan game. Ninjas in Assassin’s Creed. Ninjas are already assassins by definition so it’s impossible to mess up an assassin’s creed game with ninjas but you’re forgetting Ubisoft. We get unimaginable ways to still mess up an assassins creed game because In Shadows (spoiler) there still are no assassins because they all die off so the ninjas are literally assassins but not assassins in assassin’s creed. Like amazing work Ubisoft did with Shadows only they could mess something up so easy. But get this we get news of a remake.

Enter the hype of the long awaited Black Resynced the worst secret in gaming. The most beloved game of the series. You’re essentially just rereleasing a classic and there’s no way anyone could mess that up but nah enter Ubisoft. Let’s remove all the good things add in horrendous things and even better just completely cut out dialogue and add in the dumbest dialogue imaginable. A game that was already so good theoretically impossible mess up and Ubisoft still manages too.

Spartan warriors, Viking Raiders, teleporting Norse Gods, Ninjas that aren’t assassins to the best game becoming worse somehow the downfall of Ubisoft is a tragic one.

For the combat The remake has manual combos, manual counter finishers which are still instant kill counters the combat in rescyned is not any easier the over powered perks on all the weapons and trinkets make it brain dead easy on hard as well. Kicking and dodging is a huge plus which is nice. The Original game’s combat however has better animations, hidden blade combat, musket combat, heavy weapon combat and unarmed combat.

The Original games parkour has Sprint climbing and catch ledging. The sprint was way faster and you could hold your sprint while jumping to never lose momentum. Resynced’s parkour is much slower.

The original games assassinations actually flow with Edwards movement. When you walk you do walking assassination. When you stop you do a stationary assassination. It’s not random.

Edward doesn’t do a running jump double assassination while stationary or doesn’t do a stationary double assassination while walking, and Edward doesn’t randomly do walking assassinations into walls or off ledges while stationary.

Edward could also trigger a double assassination super quickly at any time without lining up your button prompts you can play with his off if you wanted too

Let’s not forget non lethal takedowns not everyone wants to murder everyone on site.

In the original games Naval combat you could also maneuver your ship much quickly.

In conclusion the remake has pretty graphics a fun hideout to upgrade a lot better side quests with new ones even added with some new islands as well but if you wanna actually play the game properly the original was factually better in every way.

It’s still early you can say which is unfortunate for a $60 game from a quadruple AAAA studio to release a game with so many impractical game mechanics. I really hope to see some improvements atleast I wish Resynced could see some gameplay improvements.
