Assassins Creed Shadows what happens next? (Ubisoft)The Monday letters page discusses the most overrated games of recent history, as a reader thinks 5 for Mass Effect Trilogy is disrespectful.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukWhats next?Im glad to hear that Assassins Creed Shadows is selling well, as Im really enjoying it so far. Thats hopefully good news for Ubisoft in general, given their current trouble, but the obvious problem for them is that theyve already got a gazillion Assassins Creed sequels and spin-offs in the work and as far as I know the one set in Germany during the witch trials is next.People have been asking for a game set in Japan for years, but I dont think a game where you play as a black cat was on anybodys wishlist. Im not saying it will be bad, thats not the point Im trying to make, but its not an obvious bestseller and that puts Ubisoft right back in trouble again.Thing is though Im not sure what is the next most requested setting? Ive heard stuff about India and the Azetc era but I dont know if theyre super anticipated. For a spin though why couldnt they try setting one in the future? Maybe have it half and half with the ancient past? Something weird like that could be an interesting way to hype a new sequel and try and keep the momentum.HoosantPreviously on Half-LifeIm seeing even more rumours about Half-Life 3 being nearly finished and coming out soon, but I just cant believe it. How could you even hope to sell something like that to console owners, or even just younger or casual PC owners, who have no idea what the series is and even less about what happened in the last one.Surely remasters, if not full remakes, with a big marketing campaign are essential to laying the groundwork for Half-Life 3. As I remember, Half-Life 2 only originally came out on the original Xbox, with some Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports a few years later and none of them sold because no one knew or cared about Half-Life 1.If any company is not going to care about spending money on a vanity project. its Valve but why not just do it anyway? Id like a full fat remake of the two by Valve, especially if they update it with new story and gameplay elements.BensonAdded extrasNintendo could charge a tenner for a Switch 2 upgrade to games or provide it free out of the goodness of their own hearts. Alternatively, it could be a new feature of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.Either a new tier or bundled in the Expansion Pack, they could offer all upgrades for free when youre a member. They keep talking about making subscribing appealing to players and giving value and so on. They already have DLC on there, if you keep your subscription, so a 60fps upgrade doesnt seem too far-fetched.Euclidian BoxesGC: Yes, that sounds very plausible.Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukClassic pricingDoes anyone else feel kind of bad when they see a great game for ridiculously cheap? I know its silly but when I see something like Doom or Mass Effect Trilogy for just a few pounds it seems disrespectful?I know what Im saying, and I dont consciously agree with it, because itd be great if all games were that much, but subconsciously it doesnt sit right. Not when I know how much trash is out there with a 70 price tag on it.At the end of the day everything is only worth the price people are willing to pay for it and I guess with those two games Bethesda and EA reached the limit of people that were going to pay more than 5 for it. I hope they like them though. The idea of playing the whole of Mass Effect for so little is mind-blowing to me.LemonZRepo man and boyJust want to give a shout out to a fun new game that Ive been playing with my son. I know you struggle to cover everything, so if anyones looking for a fun co-op with horror vibes then you can do far worse than R.E.P.O.Its only on PC (were playing it on Steam Deck) at the minute, so not sure if it will make its way to console, but if you have a few friends and are looking to laugh and cry together then check it out.ChrisGC: The developer is very small and hasnt said anything about console versions yet.Netflix of NintendoIve been enjoying the love for the Nintendo GameCube recently and I hope that it will be a part of the Switch 2 from very early on. Although I dont understand why it hasnt been added already, given its not a technical issue, or at least I wouldnt have thought it was.I really hope that Nintendo has a proper virtual console that is a library of all their games right from the start. Previously, every time they release a new console they start their retro releases from scratch, so its the end of a generation before we get everything big and theres always lots of smaller titles left out that they dont have time for.Im hoping that backwards compatibility means they wont be able to do this again but the fact that people arent buying the games but essentially renting them via Nintendo Switch Online makes me think that well be back to square one again.At the very least have a PlayStation style platinum tier where you get everything from the start. I know not many would pay for it, but I would. To have every Nintendo game ever in one place would be an amazing thing but Nintendo seems strangely committed to making sure that never happens.Taylor MoonImpulse purchaseIm a massive fan of the first Darkest Dungeon (200+ hours) and its taken a while for the second to click but Im about 60 hours in.Ive got the DLC and one of the trophies has a 0.9% completion rate it isnt even a difficult trophy! I messaged in a couple of weeks back and you said how most people dont complete games, but do people even play them?SimonGC: Its quite possible a lot of people buy DLC, because they like the main game, with the intention of playing it but never get round to it.Overrated listSo, I mailed in a list a few months ago, detailing my ten favourite games of all time. I included titles such as Baldurs Gate 3 and Silent Hill 2. Id like to formally discuss another list. My personal opinion of the 10 games I consider to be the most overrated titles.10. Assassins Creed the one that started it all, but repetitive missions and clunky gameplay serve as a detriment.9. Fallout 4 serviceable graphics fail to mask a generic, boring, and repetitive role-player, thats more of an action game masquerading as a role-playing game.8. Final Fantasy 16 the pinnacle of horrendous side missions, bloated content, and the worst role-playing game that I have ever played.7. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain Kojimas worst game and an embarrassment of a title, that features barren and empty environments. The cherry on top is an unfinished story.6. Dragon Age: Inquisition a textbook example of dreadful combat, mundane fetch quests, and boring political intrigue.5. Uncharted: Drakes Fortune the beginning of Nathan Drakes journey, hasnt aged well and it is bogged down with awful platforming and below par combat.4. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim adored at launch, this title barely even matches what The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 brought to the table3. God Of War Ragnark tanky enemies, an unfulfilled narrative, and the premise of Ragnark falling flat. No wonder Elden Ring beat it to Game of the Year.2. Grand Theft Auto 5 an abysmal story, more emphasis on the online portion, and restrictive elements. No bowling. Torturing Lazlow is always funny though.1. The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom a reused world. No story. No reason to care about Zelda. Link is boring and mute. Sky portion disappoints. Ganondorf is forgettable as a villain. Raphael from Baldurs Gate 3 is more memorable. Shrines are just as repetitive and stale as Breath Of The Wild.Shahzaib SadiqGC: The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 came out more than eight years after Skyrim?Inbox also-ransIve been enjoying Aliens: Dark Descent and just finished XCOM 2 again. Im about to go back onto Halo Wars which is one of my personal favourites but Im just curious of your opinion on the game. Did you enjoy it?SimonGC: Not very much, no. But Halo Wars 2 is great, with a very good multiplayer if anyones still playing it.Glad to hear that Assassins Creed Shadows has been a hit. I dont want Ubisoft to go under and I like the game so far. I just hope that doesnt mean all theyll make in the future is Assassins Creed games.WotanMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
