It doesn't help that Basim is a bad guy in Valhalla, if they'd have swapped the games around that would've been a bigger moment at the end of ValhallaI just reached Baghdad, explored for a bit and I am bored out of my mind. I would've been all over this if it came out like 7 years ago because it really feels like a proper Assassin's Creed, but man it feels ancient now.
Legit felt bad for the devs but I speedran through the intro sections like there was no tomorrow, skipping dialogue every chance I got. It is overwhelmingly dull.
The start of this game is really, really bad. Basim is a class-a jerk, written so poorly that it reminds me of a bad cartoon - the lovable thief with a heart of gold who really wants to help the people. Man get outta here. Then the training segments which are both trying to take their time and rushing through it. It feels like halfway through the devs themselves know that it's an obligatory bit that people want to get over with ASAP, so kudos for that. I just hope Ubi finds a way around this for their next games.
Visually it looks nice because the setting is nice - great art direction and as always with AC games A-tier world building and level design. Music is beautiful. Performance-wise there's a lot of very annoying micro-stuttering going on, not sure what's up with that but it's not helping my already not overwhelming enjoyment of the game.

My only issue with AC going to Japan is that Ghost of Tsushima exists and is pretty much what I'd want from a AC: JapanI'll wait for a sale if i do buy this. Im way more excited for Red because of the feudal Japan setting.
Never played it, but i think AC Red will be able to stand out from that. Also Ghost of Tsushima is set during the mongol invasion. Red will likely be set in the Sengoku period or Edo period.My only issue with AC going to Japan is that Ghost of Tsushima exists and is pretty much what I'd want from a AC: Japan
Its a shame that Russia has been kinda done and is a hot button topic atm as it has some great history with the Tsars and Rasputin that AC would be perfect for
Its funny seeing posts by people blaming the lack of originality in a game where literally 99% of games, especially sequels, have the same issue.
One nice thing to remember is this isn’t a 50+ hour slog like Origins/odyssey/valhallaI've never been more conflicted about buying a game before. On one hand I like the older AC games, on the other it doesn't seem like it's done much new and there's so many good games out right now and coming out later this month.
That's a silly thing to hope for, valhalla is the highest earning ac of all time and Odyssey is referenced in the first hour of Mirage.I really hope they do away with the lore or retcon the story of Odyssey and Valhalla.
Wiz?Okay I can’t be the only one with so much brainrot that every time someone mentions “Khalifa” my mind goes to, you know…
Cool OT, nice job.
For anyone on the fence: you could subscribe to Ubi+ for 15 bucks, play the game and cancel the sub when you're done.
I thought about doing that but I wouldn't understand it allPlaying with Arabic voice and it's really good. 8/10 so far.
It's $18USD. Just being technical here lol.
uhhhhhhhundred percentIt doesn't help that Basim is a bad guy in Valhalla, if they'd have swapped the games around that would've been a bigger moment at the end of Valhalla
I'm on the final set of missions now, I like it alot and glad its a shorter game, I don't need a 200 hour borefest like Valhalla was for 80% of it, give me that action/stealth game in a place in history, that all I ever want from AC

Ghost of Tsushima is a better game than Ubi is possibly capable of making.Never played it, but i think AC Red will be able to stand out from that. Also Ghost of Tsushima is set during the mongol invasion. Red will likely be set in the Sengoku period or Edo period.

Nah. Ubisoft can pull off good games. Red will probably be better then Ghost.Ghost of Tsushima is a better game than Ubi is possibly capable of making.
my eyes! fullscreen ca in this game is crime against humanity. and there is no setting for it?! wth were they thinking.Best part of this game is just walking around and soaking up the atmosphere. When the sun sets and people in the city are just chilling the game has a fairytale-like quality to it. Dreamlike even, at times. Brings me back to the times of ACII where I'd casually stroll around Venice and Florence and just soak up the vibes. Every mission so far ranges from mediocre to straight up bad for a plethora of reasons, but holy crap did Ubi once again nail the visuals and setting. Amazing work.
Already runs at 60 on XSX.AC Unity needs Remastering
Already runs at 60 on XSX.
Unity doesn’t drop resolution. There was never a One X version.But a remaster would allow 60fps without the potential for lowering resolution with Xbox FPS boost.
Crazy, AC Unity needs Remastering

Same on PS5 but 60fps isn't what the game needsAlready runs at 60 on XSX.
it'd seem that you enjoy lots'n'lots of swaying grass. not to mention, limited amounts of architecture...Ghost of Tsushima is a better game than Ubi is possibly capable of making.
At 900p.Already runs at 60 on XSX.
Still pretty lengthy when you compare to the Ezio games though. Sounds great really.One nice thing to remember is this isn’t a 50+ hour slog like Origins/odyssey/valhalla
20-25 hours and done.

How can you guys even compare Tsushima to AC? I played Tsushima a couple months ago and loved the hell out of it, but it doesn't seem much like AC games to me.Nice joke thou ac Odyssey is way better than any ghost tusima has to offer way better open world tons of cities, way more weapons way more enemies, ghost of tsuima is pretty ubisoft games from 2012, it is anything to sing about, ac mirage is actually way better than ghost of tsuima, better Parkour, better mounts, better cities,
