If I recall correctly he freaks out a bit but in a 'I am super devout and we shouldn't mess with obvious god stuff' way and backs off. Like, to him would it have been any different than the sidequest where he gets dosed with hallucinogens in a hut and descends into the underworld to fight that snake god?

Well, with cyberpunk delayed I'm about to go ham on some Vikings for Thanksgiving...Simone Magus posted:Oh for sure. AC3 is actually the only mainline game I'd outright recommend skipping. The George Washington DLC was really good though, and Liberation is surprisingly fun AC3 probably has the best ship sequences in the series, tbqh... I'm not sure if that's a compliment, but it is true. ilitarist posted:I've tried Unity recently and was surprised by how aggressively F2P it felt. I heard they made it easier to unlock stuff without paying but still, the game constantly reminded me that I could buy this cool thing with real money. Also while the main game was pretty stable multiplayer still was buggy and horrible and choppy. Reminded me of my dial-up days. Yeah, they really wasted the setting of The Terror and I don't think the game even touches on The Great Terror and half of the revolution gets sidetracked. Anyways, I hope they do Haiti next.

What I appreciate about Ubisoft is the It's kind of commendable in the era of 'this game didnt do COD numbers the first week of sales, gently caress it no more patches' EA style of game development. I don't think WD has ever done super well especially next to AC or Far Cry but they just keep making them anyway

JustaDamnFool posted:I mean, that's part of the reason why the Sci-Fi elements are so often the weakest parts of AC writing; in 2 the alien reveal was the shocking revelation at the end of the game, but by now most players are going to be inured to it, so it's impossible to write these revealing moments with the gravitas they deserve when any time spent with the character processing the fact that aliens exist is just retreading old ground. I think its less about shock value now, just the fact 2 was the only one that treated it like a bombshell. 3 tried to take the ball and fumbled it, and then its been a non factor in every game since basically. Its hard to care when they don't treat it as important, like Syndicate is a perfect example of that. I can only hope with Valhalla they either finally want to move forward any of it(since nothing has moved forward since 3), or this is just the writeoff of that plot and we stop bothering.

Like look at R6 siege, game was basically dead on arrival and now its a juggernaut. That's why I look forward to a For Honour 2, so much potential but not fully realized and given Ubi's history they could turn it into something huge. Like the games gotten constant support(and bless them for it) and is much better now, but in a sequel they can get past a few of the trappings that are kinda inherently baked into the game and they can go nuts.

Ubisoft is a mixed bunch. On the one hand they're willing to iterate their games and support them long after others would give up, on the other hand the iteration they are mostly going for is a hunt for the 'one true formula for an open world game' which results in these soulless abominations being let out onto the world.

CommunityEdition posted:Then where is my playable Heroes of Might and Magic 8? Say what you want, but they did release Might & Magic X Legacy which turned out to be a great old-school RPG. It was even too old-school for M&M6-8 fans (there are no M&M9 fans in case you were wondering) cause it was all turn-based and grid-movement. And it wasn't cheap pixel art deal so true hardcore connoisseurs didn't care about it too. Ubisoft was very aggressive with their F2P always online elements in their full price single-player games for awhile. Like Assassins Creed 2 being always online in freaking 2009 (I still don't have stable enough connection for that). They seem way tamer now. Yeah, they make similar open world games. But it's not like I'm bored of delving into extremely detailed historical settings or even modern foreign cities.

Oh nice, there's a warrior tree talent for loud assassinations. You butcher one dude and everyone in the area is alerted, and your adrenaline fills for each person who is made aware. Reminds me of Ghost of Tsushima in a way, letting everyone know you are here and its go time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srX9v6_Xk28&t=271s 4:30 if the timestamp doesn't work. Also other cool skills: -Assassin tree skill that lets you grab projectiles out of the air and throw them back at your foe(reaction timing needed) -Warrior tree talent that lets you dual wield great weapons -Hunter tree skill that lets you pick up and throw fallen enemies weapons at people.

Hopefully this game's launch goes better than Watchdog's lol. Legion is bricking people's consoles. also sea of thieves has always been good, it's just better now for people who don't want to focus on pvp (but still want to do it when the opportunity arises). Earwicker posted:i heard its fun if you have a good group of people to play with, but as a solo player its not very fun at all it's not designed to be played solo which is why it's so difficult to do. You're supposed to party up so you have people watching your back and helping you pilot the boats. If I recall you couldn't even play solo early in the beta, it was outcry from the forums that made them add the option.

Skull and Bones started as a ship pvp game, then was a pvp and also pve game, and if it ever show ups again I would not be surprised if it becomes a standard Ubi open world game. I think the second time they showed info and revealed the pve aspect of it, they showed your captain walking around on a dock which wasnt in the original pitch, it was just you as the ship.
