I’m the type of gamer that always roots for the underdogs. Many times I’ve loved games that were considered bad. I don’t know why I’m like that, but hey I am not complaining. An example of this would be Homefront: The Revolution. This game was a mess at launch and even afterwards. Being riddled with bugs, trophies that are next to impossible to get thanks to gameplay mechanics, and things like that. Yet, I loved the game. There was just something about the story and the gameplay that really clicked with me. So when it comes to Assassin’s Creed most hated DLC, is it really a surprise that it is one of my favorites in the entire series?
Over the past couple of years Assassin’s Creed has moved away from their formula of the past, returned to it, and then moved away from it again, having fans divided. A lot of old school fans don’t like this RPG direction the series took and newer fans love it. As someone who has been with this series since the very first game, I fall into the camp of being an older fan of the series and loving this new direction. Except Valhalla, because that game was just complete dog crap.
One of my favorite games in the series is Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Sure, the main game doesn’t follow the Assassins vs Templar plot that games prior to Origins followed, but I still loved it. It was two of my favorite things: AC and an RPG. But many people did not like Odyssey because it was an RPG. They didn’t enjoy grinding for levels, how stealth took a back seat, and how the major conflict of the game wasn’t between the Assassins and Templars.

Soy el tipo de jugador que siempre apoya a los desvalidos. Muchas veces me han encantado los juegos que se consideraban malos. No sé por qué soy así, pero bueno, no me quejo. Un ejemplo de esto sería Homefront: The Revolution. Este juego fue un desastre en el lanzamiento e incluso después. Estar plagado de errores, trofeos que son casi imposibles de conseguir gracias a la mecánica del juego y cosas así. Sin embargo, me encantó el juego. Había algo en la historia y la jugabilidad que realmente me impactó. Entonces, cuando se trata del DLC más odiado de Assassin's Creed, ¿es realmente una sorpresa que sea uno de mis favoritos de toda la serie?
En los últimos años, Assassin's Creed se alejó de su fórmula del pasado, volvió a ella y luego se alejó de ella nuevamente, teniendo a los fanáticos divididos. A muchos fanáticos de la vieja escuela no les gusta esta dirección de juego de rol que tomó la serie y a los fanáticos más nuevos les encanta. Como alguien que ha estado en esta serie desde el primer juego, caigo en el campo de ser un fanático mayor de la serie y amar esta nueva dirección. Excepto Valhalla, porque ese juego era una completa tontería.
Uno de mis juegos favoritos de la serie es Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Claro, el juego principal no sigue la trama Assassins vs Templar que siguieron los juegos anteriores a Origins, pero aún así me encantó. Eran dos de mis cosas favoritas: AC y un juego de rol. Pero a mucha gente no le gustó Odyssey porque era un juego de rol. No les gustaba buscar niveles, cómo el sigilo pasó a un segundo plano y cómo el principal conflicto del juego no era entre los Asesinos y los Templarios.
So when the first DLC came out for the game titled Legacy of the First Blade, it was obvious that reception to it wouldn’t be that great. To put it simply, Legacy of the First Blade was more of what AC Odyssey was. The DLC follows Darius, once protector of Persia, who was determined to put an end to the Order of Ancients ( the precursor to the Templar Order). This saw him craft the very first hidden blade and kill the Persian king.
Spanish
Entonces, cuando salió el primer DLC para los títulos de juegos Legacy of the First Blade, era obvio que la recepción no sería tan buena. En pocas palabras, Legacy of the First Blade era más de lo que era AC Odyssey. El DLC sigue a Darius, una vez protector de Persia, que estaba decidido a poner fin a la Orden de los Antiguos (la precursora de la Orden de los Templarios). Esto lo vio crear la primera espada oculta y matar al rey persa.
Because of his determination to stop the Order, he was put on their hit list and him and either his daughter (if you’re playing as Alexios) or his son (if you’re playing as Kassandra) flee in an attempt to escape their wraith. But soon the hunters become the hunted. With the help of Alexios, or Kassandra, they turn the tables on the order and bring the fight to them.
Spanish
Debido a su determinación de detener a la Orden, lo pusieron en su lista de objetivos y él y su hija (si juegas como Alexios) o su hijo (si juegas como Kassandra) huyen en un intento de escapar de su fantasma. Pero pronto los cazadores se convierten en presas. Con la ayuda de Alexios, o Kassandra, le dan la vuelta al orden y les traen la lucha.
The DLC really doesn’t shine until its final episode, episode 3. Up to that point the DLC is more of the same as the main game with the exception that instead of hunting down the Cult of Cosmos it’s the Order of Ancients who is targeting Alexios/Kassandra because they’re a tainted one.
The DLC heavily implies that there are more people like Alexios that they hunted down but never actually explain what a tainted one is. I tried piecing some things together and concluded that they either mean people with Isu DNA or possibly other children of Pythagoras.
Spanish
El DLC realmente no brilla hasta su episodio final, el episodio 3. Hasta ese punto, el DLC es más de lo mismo que el juego principal, con la excepción de que en lugar de perseguir al Culto del Cosmos, es la Orden de los Antiguos quien apunta a Alexios/Kassandra porque están contaminados.
El DLC implica en gran medida que hay más personas como Alexios a las que cazaron pero que nunca explicaron qué es una persona contaminada. Intenté reconstruir algunas cosas y concluí que se referían a personas con ADN de Isu o posiblemente a otros hijos de Pitágoras.
Until the third episode, things are just kinda lacklustre. We see Alexios ( I played as him) develop a relationship with Neema, Darius’s daughter, with the ending of episode 2 opting for the duo to stay in the Greek world instead of fleeing.
Spanish
Hasta el tercer episodio, las cosas están un poco deslucidas. Vemos a Alexios (yo interpreté a él) desarrollar una relación con Neema, la hija de Darius, y el final del episodio 2 opta por que el dúo permanezca en el mundo griego en lugar de huir.
Why was The First Blade Hated?
The Hatred for the first blade comes mostly from a certain a community, that, of course, is the “Woke” community. You see, they never complained about how the DLC was more of the same or the fact that its timeline in the events of the game is muddled. Oh no. They complained because the PC, either Alexios or Kassandra, had a kid.
At the End of episode 2 / start of episode 3. Alexios/Kassandra fell in love with Darius’s kid and had a child. Now, if you know anything about AC, having a kid was only a given, considering that all the protagonists of the series are linked by blood. But this community did not want this. They flipped out over. Because through the game you could choose if you wanted to be with men or women, or both. And how dare Ubisoft make a person’s PC have a canon romantic love interest that they have a child with, especially if in the players’ mind their character was gay?
The outrage got that bad that Ubisoft caved into the pressure. They changed the DLC to make it so that you can choose that you don’t like Darius’s child but are just doing the deed to continue your bloodline, which is completely stupid.
Spanish
El odio por la primera espada proviene principalmente de cierta comunidad, que, por supuesto, es la comunidad "Woke". Verás, nunca se quejaron de que el DLC era más de lo mismo o del hecho de que su línea de tiempo en los eventos del juego es confusa. Oh, no. Se quejaron porque el PC, ya sea Alexios o Kassandra, tenía un hijo.
Al final del episodio/inicio del episodio 3. Alexios/Kassandra se enamoró del hijo de Darius y tuvo un hijo. Ahora bien, si sabes algo sobre AC, tener un hijo era un hecho, considerando que todos los protagonistas de la serie están unidos por sangre. Pero esta comunidad no quería esto. Se dieron la vuelta. Porque a través del juego podías elegir si querías estar con hombres o mujeres, o ambos. ¿Y cómo se atreve Ubisoft a hacer que la PC de una persona tenga un interés amoroso romántico canónico con el que tener un hijo, especialmente si en la mente de los jugadores su personaje era gay?
La indignación llegó a tal punto que Ubisoft cedió ante la presión. Cambiaron el DLC para que puedas elegir que no te gusta el hijo de Darius, pero que simplemente estás haciendo el acto para continuar con tu línea de sangre, lo cual es completamente estúpido.
Why I love it
Why I love this DLC has to do with Episode 3. I played the DLC like it was meant to with the PC falling in love with Darius’s kid, which meant Alexios and Neema getting together. In Episode 3, we see Alexio’s living the good life seemingly finally getting a happy ending… Until the order finds them.
The order attacks the village, kills Neema and kidnaps Alexio’s kid. And the voice acting was amazing! Seeing Alexios going on a rampage, trying to save Darius and then rushing back to Neema only to find her dead and his kid missing gave me goosebumps. Hearing the pain in his voice whenever he talked about failing her or how much he loved her made my throat crack.
Spanish
El motivo por el que me encanta este DLC tiene que ver con el Episodio 3. Jugué el DLC como debía hacerlo, cuando la PC se enamoró del hijo de Darius, lo que significó que Alexios y Neema se juntaran. En el episodio 3, vemos a Alexio viviendo la buena vida aparentemente teniendo finalmente un final feliz... hasta que la orden los encuentra.
La orden ataca la aldea, mata a Neema y secuestra al hijo de Alexio. ¡Y la actuación de voz fue increíble! Ver a Alexios enloqueciendo, tratando de salvar a Darius y luego corriendo de regreso con Neema solo para encontrarla muerta y su hijo desaparecido me puso la piel de gallina. Escuchar el dolor en su voz cada vez que hablaba de fallarle o de lo mucho que la amaba hacía que se me partiera la garganta.
The story itself was a sort of lacklustre but the voice acting carried Episode 3. Especially at the end when after everything Alexios went through to rescue his son he gives him up to Darius to keep him safe while promising that he would never leave the order find him.
Spanish
La historia en sí fue un poco mediocre, pero la actuación de voz llevó al Episodio 3. Especialmente al final cuando, después de todo lo que Alexios pasó para rescatar a su hijo, se lo entrega a Darius para mantenerlo a salvo mientras promete que nunca abandonaría la orden. a él.
Then there was the post game scene which sees Darius walking alongside the child in Egypt. Darius disappears and the kids turn into a few different figures, making the assumption these were Alexios descendents with the very last figure being a woman on a tower and when it shows their face it turns out to be Aya from Origins. The character who in AC lore created the Assassins.
Spanish
Luego estaba la escena posterior al juego en la que se ve a Darius caminando junto al niño en Egipto. Darius desaparece y los niños se convierten en algunas figuras diferentes, asumiendo que eran descendientes de Alexios, siendo la última figura una mujer en una torre y cuando muestra su rostro resulta ser Aya de Origins. El personaje que en la historia de AC creó a los Asesinos.
Not bad graphic in that game
!BBH
Its not bad for a game that came out 6 years ago!
Its alright, we have different minds and we have different tastes. Its not like everyone should hate or love the same thing. After checking our your post and those screenshots, I was thinking of getting back to it but later I remembered how I lost interest in this game after playing for a very short time. This was the second AC after Origins that I quit all of a sudden and I never went back to. You can say I'm that old school AC fan who likes to fight with the templars only and the best AC in my sense is still AC 2, Brotherhood and Revelations.
Oh hands down the best AC games are the Ezio trilogy. I'll die with that fact!
I'm glad to hear that. I can't imagine how AC fans like me who loved the Ezio trilogy would react to having another installment of Ezio in the future.
I dont really think there are any other games they could get out of him. All the games cover his entire life. You have the original 2 - Revelations. But then you also have the AC2 for the DS which takes place between certain chapters in the original 2 and shows what he got up too.
And then you have Embers ( animated movie) which shows him at the end of his life, and finally AC China which shows more of him training Shao Jun.
Personally I'd love it if Shao Jun got the full AC treatment. With a game chronicalling her childhood, her training with Ezio, and eventual return to china.
AC Odyssey has something different from the others indeed. I loved it. I'm currently close to finishing Valhalla and then have to catch up with Mirage quickly before Shadows releases. So looking forward to that one :)
I haven't played Mirage yet! I hated Valhalla. Felt it just kept dragging on and on and on. I was debating on getting Mirage but I want to get through the xpacs for Valhalla first!
I feel you with Valhalla. Took countless breaks just because it feels like something is constantly missing. But I really want to get it done lol
I went ahead and decided to platinum it and it took the life out of him. I was really hoping for a good viking story but it feels like Ubisoft wanted to make it a "pg 13" version.
My expectations was to be able to raid, kill etc and then it would be revealed "like in AC3" that Eivor was really a part of the Templars.
Well yeah, that would be quite what most people would like to see. I was looking for more raids as well, but I was so disappointed there are really very few available on the map. Let's hope Shadows would be a good one and make the wait worth it.
I enjoyed Black Flag but it still seems like too much commitment to play all Assassin’s Creed games.
Too expensive as well.It is a lot of commitment especially when you realize that a lot of the main storylines in the games are actually wrapped up in other media like the AC comics.
