Ever played Assassin's Creed and felt like... i just want to walk around like a normal person

[julia crawford]

No climbing, no running down buildings, just following the roads like everyone else....

I just want to feel like a normal person. Who else can climb and jump and shit? Only the soldiers. No one else. Everyone else is an orderly citizen. I want to be an orderly citizen too.

I follow traffic rules in GTA.

Are you the guy that reached max level in WoW just by picking flowers?

 

[CloakBass]

Shenmue, baby. Well...for the most part.

I mean, for some missions isn't this the goal? To look as normal as possible and complete your objectives, it's a good series to have that feeling in lol. I remember getting really immersed in Unity after they patched it all up and found myself just walking around sometimes

All you're doing is reminding me how much I miss Assassins Creeds multiplayer :(

Truly a man of culture. I made a druid back in the day just to make it super easy to fly around while I picked flowers and mined. So relaxing.

Use the Discovery Tour mode

 

[GCQ]

Isn't that what Discovery Tour Mode is for?

I feel spoiled by AC and sometimes need an adjustment period with other games that don't allow climbing to that extent, as my instinct is to just want to climb onto stuff to get to to the quest objective lol.

 

[SnazzyNaz]

You should check out the Hitman series.

I will never understand the appeal of being a "normal person" in a video game. You are a normal person. You don't need to play one on TV.

Also: you can walk around and not climb on things in Assassin's Creed. Just walk around and don't climb on things.

Awwwww shiiiiiit

 

[Papercuts]

That's one of the reasons I love hitman, you can basically just walk around like a civilian for awhile and it takes the blending stuff farther than AC does.

The newer AC games bug me with how the controls changed so you always sprint, you used to have to hold the trigger for an aggressive mode which made the pacing feel more deliberate.

 

[Rotobit]

I slow-walked through a few locations in AC: Odyssey just for the immersion and to admire the environment, it definitely accomodates it well enough

everywhere else tho I was using the ridiculous ability you get that lets you survive any fall and was flyin all over the place.

 

[myojinsoga]

I get it. I mean you can do that - walk around like a normal person. I just wish there were more actions I could take that would support that illusion for a while.

I thought the Atlantis DLC especially was hilarious for that. Elevators? Nah, let me just jump off that massive ridge lol.

John Kowalski your usual banner always fools me, but you're actually the OP this time.

Valhalla makes you click the left stick. Personally I would have preferred it if they stuck with the perma-sprint but there are sections of the game where you need to walk to avoid drawing attention to yourself.

Now you're just making stuff up.

 

[Mage_of_Cinder]

Yes, actually. I'll spend a minute or two of every play session just to soak in the environment.

 

[Dolce]

Yes, that's why I play The Sims.

 

[gimbles123]

I did this at times throughout all the AC games. I find this works well with the 3 modern AC games since a lot of the side quests can be mundane in nature (e.g. kill the rabbits infesting a woman's cabbage patch)

Discovery Tour removes combat, but you can still climb everywhere.

Watch Dogs Legion is a pretty good game to just walk around in. You can also snoop on people and hack drones while you're at it, nobody will notice.
