Maf Posted June 9, 2024 Share Posted June 9, 2024 Here's the gameplay trailer I know AC is like CoD where people hate on it. Some reasons good, some reasons I think just because it's cool to hate. Honestly I thought this game looked so good I didn't even realise it was AC for the minute. This probably a day 1 and one of the games I'm most looking forward to this year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmark Posted September 20, 2024 Share Posted September 20, 2024 I got Ubisoft plus for Outlaws and I’ll keep it for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 22, 2024 Share Posted September 22, 2024 This game looks so beautiful I almost don’t want to play Assassin’s Creed in it. It looks to peaceful and tranquil for all the jumping and murdering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 22, 2024 Share Posted September 22, 2024 Ever since Origins I think these games have in some way a certain 'walking simulator' aspect to them. I wouldn't be surprised if about two thirds of my playtime with Odyssey was a combination of walking, riding or sailing around the world, and I don't even mean that as a point of critique. I really enjoyed the sightseeing aspect of that game and it's probably the main reason I gave up on Valhalla after 40 hours and not after ten. This does look nice, too. But I'm not going to throw full price at a DRM disc, it'll have to wait until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that if you buy this on a console in disk form it can't be resold because it's a sort of one Ubisoft account deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 Not quite as drastic, but you can't install it without an online connection and the jury's still out whether it works offline after that. I guess it's not technically DRM because it's just a case of not all the data being on disc, but it's enough to push me away until I can get for a sum that better aligns with my conscience.

Maf Posted September 23, 2024 Share Posted September 23, 2024 It needs online to install, but can be played offline. There’s a tweet from Ubi on the previous page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted September 24, 2024 Share Posted September 24, 2024 PoP is worse, that actually needs to be online all the time, except on Switch. I remember reading that tweet about Shadows, but I've had so many different experiences on Xbox about what works and what doesn't after an install that I'm just being super picky about what I buy on that platform now. But I don't want to derail the topic, I think we went through all that stuff last page already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 24, 2024 Share Posted September 24, 2024 Maybe Japan really does hate this game, too. There was a thing a while ago where Ubi put a statement to their JPN fans about their being a black samurai and AC is a work of fiction, etc I can’t remember it fully. But I thought it was a way to show racists JPN was actually supportive of this game But I guess no, JPN hate the black samurai as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted September 24, 2024 Share Posted September 24, 2024 Yasuke has appeared in Japanese works a bunch of times. Whenever a black samurai turns up it's usually a Yasuke influence and/or reference (Afro Samurai, Nago from GG). The controversy was manufactured but even so maybe they still want to avoid it. I don't think AC games are the biggest there so some calculation was maybe made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 It's been delayed, so maybe this is why it's skipping TGS. Pretty significant delay as well, from November to February 14 edit Actually I think I will just remove the tweet and post the image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 Maybe time to polish up some of animations. The environment looks great but they were getting dragged a bit for the sword fighting One less game to buy this year; that’s good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 I think there's more than that tbh, they're giving the DLC away for free. Something's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 Yeah, I just read on Eurogamer they’re taking lessons from Star Wars Outlaws which didn’t sell very well by the sounds of it Not sure what line to draw between the games, though. I mean it’s only 4 months, not a particularly long time in to make sweeping changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 Hopefully they're moving away from the nonsense? Their various editions and generally how they're monetised has been a running joke for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
