Big Bidness posted:This was in an Ubisoft survey I got today. Interesting to see what settings they must at least be considering. Not sure how they'd do a couple of those settings. At a minimum Hannibal, Alexander, and the Peloponnesian War take place hundreds of years before Origins. That being said the warring states era in Japan is pretty much perfect for an AC game

Jack Trades posted:What are the rules for gaining merc ranks? The game itself doesn't seem mention anything besides "kill other mercs" but it seems to only do anything after you kill the mercs that are higher rank than you? Kill people higher rank than you. Every one you beat that is higher than you bumps you up a rank, anyone below is just for fun. When you get to the highest tiers this basically means you have a very small selection of people to kill for any rank benefit.

MadDogMike posted:OK, given we don’t have a lot of historical record there’s no way to be sure, but if the real Socrates was as obnoxious as the game one I can imagine screaming “Chug! Chug!” when the Athenians gave him hemlock The only records we have of Socrates were written by other people (Plato is the most famous) because he was against writing. So yeah he was probably incredibly annoying to be around.

. Also what on Earth makes the civilians pick up blades and charge into battle, did you idiots SEE what just happened to that heavily armed mercenary just then who tried it? Must be something in the air there considering how many times the chickens go after my face too.

exquisite tea posted:The difference is that Kassandra is a free-thinking misthios and everyone else you fight is a brainwashed cultist who cannot be reasoned with. Even the chickens. My favorite bit of this is when Socrates asks you to judge a horse thief. "Do you think it's right to take the law into your own hands?" Well gee I dunno but that achievement I got unlocked for setting 1000 people of fire makes me think yes.

Lobok posted:Assassin all the way but before mastery and without level 5 spear you get too many points to do anything but start getting into the other trees. I think my real failing for a long time was not equipping enough +Assassin damage gear and getting too comfortable with open combat that I didn't take enough advantage of all my Assassin skills. I was unimpressed with assassin skills until I got the complete pirate set and then suddenly it was more power in open combat than a warrior build.

Hakkesshu posted:I am really curious what the gently caress they'll do with Denmark since it's pretty much just flat plains with nothing in them. But Hedeby is one of the most important settlements of the whole era so I suppose they could just do it like Vikings and make it look like this I am by no means an expert on ancient Greece but I don't think it was absolutely covered in temples that rival the acropolis in grandeur and a stone Zeus the size of a skyscraper. The recent games have moved away from the strict historical accuracy of the earlier entries and are better for it. Also the ? system for the map lets them fill in wilderness with enough interesting stuff. Bandit camps, ruined temples, alpha animals, and the other stuff work well enough.

Jippa posted:I played this game for ages and then stopped for ages. A quick question. I have completely forgotten how to board a boat? I googled it and it said the enemy ship has to be at half health. I never got any option for this, what am I doing wrong? You have to actively choose to sink the boat. Get it down to no health and you can board it with Y(on a 360 controller), or just shoot/ram it to sink it.

Slider posted:I picked up this game today and holy cow it's crushing my pc. I have a 1080ti, 8700k, and playing on a 1440p gsync monitor. I'm avging around 60 FPS on high, does this sound normal? The game does look beautiful, at least compared to all the older games I've been playing on my switch. IIRC depth of field eats up a significant chunk of performance. Turn it off completely and you can get a decent boost without any real loss to graphics quality.

Wolfsheim posted:I mean it's a pretty good game, the world is huge but shallow (there's a lot of bullshit radiant quests that are just 'go here, kill X'). They also added in romances but they're all really brief and kinda pointless and the main plot is really meandering and poorly paced, plus they added a lot more heavy sci-fi elements that don't really fit the theme of the series. There's a bunch of new game mechanics that don't really mesh that well either but can be fun to mess around with. The combat is probably the best in the series though and the female VA is great, even if overall the game that came just before it in the series (made by different devs) was a lot tighter and more well-written. ... well played

Rynoto posted:An AC game based during the exploits of Ching Shih would be dope. She started as a prostitute, became the leader of the largest pirate fleet in history and was able to rival the power of the Qing, Portuguese, and British navies in their controlled areas. Drop the PC into the timeline trying to work between the pirates and various governments. Reading that page and she sounds more bad rear end than most video game protagonists. That would be an amazing pick.

Namaer posted:I got a subscription to Uplay+ and played through the main quest of Origins, which was my first AC game. Working on Odyssey now after trying AC1 and bouncing off of it because of extremely janky controls. What's the earliest game in the series that plays somewhat similarly to Origins? Origins is the start of a "new" type of AC game. AC2 is the first game that is worth your time, though it's got some parts that will feel dated.

Personal_Nirvana posted:So after I burned out on Odyssey, I'm thinking on trying the others, more traditional AC games (since I've never played them) to kill some free time until Cyberpunk drops. Wich one is considered the best? Is Unity still revilled? Paris looks so gorgeous in that game...but I heard it's still buggy as hell so idk. AC1 is just not a fun game. AC2 was great at the time, but it is 11 years now and I don't know how much of the design back then would be annoying as poo poo today. Brotherhood was ok, Revelations made me assume the franchise was about to die. I hated AC3. Black Flag is great, but I would not consider a traditional AC game. Its worth it alone just to cruise around the Caribbean, singing shanties and attacking ships with your bros. Unity isn't awful, it was just broken as poo poo on launch. It's ok? Nothing to write home about.

Wolfsheim posted:Would they really release a new, France-based game like three months after their France-based DLC came out? I feel like they started staggering the releases a lot more since the 'release two games a year, four comic book tie-ins and one mobile app' model of the old days. No, but there were (what turned out to be extremely accurate) leaks about a viking AC game coming out not too long after the last Odyssey DLC released

I never bought a single boost, nor was I ever tempted to, the entire time I played odyssey. It's a fun game, but there is just Too Much Stuff to do. If you're the kind of person that has to 100% a game it will drive you mad.

ilitarist posted:There are also good interesting places that look cool but have nothing to do in them. So it has its highs and lows even before I think about how it's tied to gameplay systems, and in that regard it's a very obvious unrefined first foray into the land of making their own Witcher 3. Yeah, there is a whole lot about the game world that reminds me of witcher 3. Which is a mixed bag because even though I loved witcher 3 dearly, I also didn't spend any time collecting random smuggler caches that weren't immediately in my way or spend time clearing every bandit camp. If you are a completionist at heart, then Origins might be the beginning of a style of game that does not appeal the same.

Origins is basically Odyssey without the absolutely massive amount of everything. That might make it sound worse, but I think the game benefits from having a narrower focus. That being said, the FF15 tie in chocobo still gives me nightmares.
