Can you play as the chick the whole game?

 

[GHG]

I have to say, this is looking much better now.

Keeping an eye on this for sure now considering rise of the Ronin's PC port looks to be trash and I didn't bother with monster hunter.

 

[Astray]

I said it before, but the game looks fantastic after the delay, they clearly took the time to polish up the game as much as possible and it shows.

 

[Magusx]

Game looks great tbh

I noticed the animations got a lot smoother. Imo this is the best looking animation in the AC franchise since unity

I think you almost can, but why would you? Yasuke's gameplay looks fun

This is such poor gameplay, I don't see how people can get hyped because of it.

• Guards can't see or hear you even though you just murdered his friend 10 feet away (even if you decapitate someone with the black guy, which is hilarious)
• You have all sorts of OP skills like double assassinate, or killing someone from far away like they did with the chick when she used another weapon. None of these techniques require any skill from the player, it is just press R1 to win.
• The good old whistle technique still works because the AI is so stupid.
  
• You can see through walls.
• Your friends that somehow invaded the place with you have all sorts of OP shit like putting multiple guards to sleep, or stunning guards for several seconds.
• The main enemy is hilariously slow, you can parry him all day long. And you have all sorts of skills that make the fight even easier.
• Nobody sees you if you are on the roof, or if you are crouched in the shadows.

This is a poor excuse of a "stealth" game, and the action part doesn't seem nearly as fun compared to something like Ghost of Tsushima. Something like lethal difficulty wouldn't even work in this game probably because of all the stupid levels and RPG mechanics.

She looks to be more the assassin type.

That'll be fixed in the racism patch for the guards.

Yes, it's an AC game.

You can see through walls

You mean like in many other games, such as TLOU 1 and 2?

Your friends that somehow invaded the place with you have all sorts of OP shit like putting multiple guards to sleep, or stunning guards for several seconds.

it's a game not a sim.

And you have all sorts of skills that make the fight even easier.

Holy shit how dare they give you abilities as you progress in a game.

• Nobody sees you if you are on the roof, or if you are crouched in the shadows.

Is this a joke post?

 

[peek]

Curious. What is an example of cringe dialogue here. The commentary is beyond saving sure but what line specifically is cringe.

For me it was one of the big reveal trailers. Like the elementary level "we are good guys, they are bad" stuff like... JUSTICE, equality, and one more roll your eyes word. Forgot the last one.

Just remember feeling like eww... im good. Im sure its not gonna be a BAD game, but most definitely not a good one. Especially one I would spend actual money on.

OH edit: not to mention the rap music that starts playing when Yusuke begins fighting xD like duuude, come on now.

 

[MMaRsu]

Ubisoft sure knows how to make an awesome world feel absolutely dead. NPC's standing around pretending to have conversations with eachother. Lmao. Cmon man RDR2 came out 5 years ago.

• Cannot turn off the black and white assassination effect at launch, should be available post launch.
• Devs are looking into new game plus with 'smart' additions.
• Elite Soldiers will replace the Samurai Daisho at the castles after they've been dispatched. This will be added post launch.
• There are traditional side quests as well as side quests that are integrated into the main ones.
• The mercenaries system from previous AC games will not be returning; the guardians system will take its place. The guardians will become active when the alarm bells are rung and will not randomly encounter the player.
• Looking into damage number for post launch.
• No preset layouts for hideout modes.
• No dye features for outfits but there are multiple colours of the same outfits.
• No naval battles
• New abilities and weapons will become available down the line.
• No hair and beard styles, at least not for launch.

Best to wait for that patched edition next year

 

[Nowa]

Great, the game is new and already needs patching.

Yes, it's an AC game.

Yeah, I know, 99% of this series sucks anyway.

You mean like in many other games, such as TLOU 1 and 2?

It's ridiculous in either case, but at least TLOU can be challenging in high difficulties. I doubt this AC will have any challenge because they can barely balance the games as it is with all the RPG bs.

it's a game not a sim.

My point is that it makes an easy game even easier.

Holy shit how dare they give you abilities as you progress in a game.

Again, easy game even easier. Also kicking someone into oblivion is stupid, wacky physics.

Is this a joke post?

No.

 

[The_Observer]

The narration was so cringy that I had to turn it off after a couple of minutes. What the heck, why is it so cringy?

 

[GymWolf]

When was AC ever challenging?

Dude is probably playing on easy\normal, in valhalla you die in 2 hits on max difficulty, and this time difficulty mode change enemies field of view for stealth aswell, on normal enemies only look forward, on hard they look on roofs so the demo is clearly not on the hardest difficulty.

 

[damidu]

this looks surprisingly polished

The narration was so cringy that I had to turn it off after a couple of minutes. What the heck, why is it so cringy?

its cringy to the point of being almost entertaining lol, gives strong "How do you do, fellow kids?" vibes.

At least they are walking. If you want dead try Avowed. That game was dogwater

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Looks amazing, can't wait to play it.

That interaction with the cat was weird.

First the prompt and the popup but it seemed the animation didn't play, then trying again and she says "I'm bringing you home" and then walks away?

Anyway, the whole thing feels kinda soulless. The vibes [for lack of better word] are off.

Yeah, I thought this was really weird.. All those aggressive sound effects, getting loudly murdered and the guy just a few feet away is none the wiser.

 

[thatJohann]

I'll prob buy this cause I'm in a draught of PS5 Pro games, but this looks quite boring to me already.

 

[Gonzito]

How is this person even allowed by Ubisoft to show exclusive footage? He plays the game so badly, almost as if he has never played a game. What an absolute disgrace

A drunk monkey would make a better impression playing this

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Sheer incompetence is off the charts.

A glimpse at how normies play games like this.

This guy keeps torturing us with his breathtaking gaming skills

i hate his accent so much stop talking like that weirdo

Im also dutch so I can say it

 

[Bartski]

I just watched a lengthy uncurated gameplay from the release build... to quote the classic: 'the cracks are starting to show'
