Video Game Franchises That Need A Break
Some game franchises are past the point of being put to sleep for a bit and have gone into the shoot-it-in-the-head-and-put-it-out-of-it’s-misery-already territory. There are tired games and then there are games that are zombie animatronics at this point. There are games that are tired, and then there’s this stuff. Anyway, before this sadistic intro gets any more tedious, here’s the list: Assassin’s Creed Ubisoft announced that there won’t be an Assassin’s Creed game in 2016, and for good reason: last couple of games were abysmal failures in terms of both raw sales and critical reception. They really needed a break. Going annual really affected the quality of the games as they stagnated, becoming mundane. Imagine that, a franchise that’s built arou...

Assassin’s Creed Empire: Five Things We Want To See
Assassin’s Creed has become one of the biggest franchises in gaming, with almost every gamer having played at least one of the games in the series. And, more often that not, walked away impressed and wanting more. However, the last few entries haven’t had the best receptions. Maybe its the lacklustre story, or the novelty of the parkour wearing off and the laggy movements mechanics testing the patience of the gamers, or just an overall dip in quality since the game turned into an annual franchise. One way or the other, it’s clear that the franchise needs a break, and Ubisoft seems to have realised the same, if the rumors are to be believed. According to the same rumors, the franchise won’t see an instalment in 2016, instead starting fresh in 2017, with new gameplay ...
