The weird ass zoom ins... it's like watching a k-drama. lmao.

And there is no recoil when Naoe fires that gun either. It looks so goofy. xD

Jesus fucking Christ. It’s getting so hard to figure out whether a game is actually good based on reviews.

Avowed got roasted but was great. This is being praised but likely crap.

Anyone got a link to a decent review? I’m somewhat intrigued

Is this from the actual game? It looks like a garys mod or something not official.

It is, it's from Mutahar's video he just uploaded. The scene is right at the beginning of his video



I also can't believe how bad this looks. He was complaining about the voice acting, though, I can't see past the horrific animations in that cutscene(?).

Ubisoft seem very smart and good at handling their community relations

 

[StereoVsn]

Man, even Mortismal Gaming review was pretty rough. And he is usually fairly forgiving. And Fextralife even titled his review “Let me BRUTALLY honest “, lol.

Of course egregious MTX and progression speed bumps exist to “guide” you to Ubi store. .

Hot. I wish I had a sword to unsheathe.

Gross man. Trigger Warning next.

I'm playing it right now on the series X. Looks and plays well. Gameplay is fun and voice acting is good if your playing it in Japanese which you should. Playing it on its hardest difficulty and I haven't hit a bug yet probably will later like most games. As for enemies they are not sponges yet but I haven't leveled up to much. Stealth is where it's at . Give it a try on Ubisoft plus if you ain't trying to buy it.

Mutahar? Really?

It's exactly what I thought it would be. Ubisoft are doomed.

Braindead AI, yep is an Ubisoft game.

It’s like this even on Expert difficulty. They don’t ever stop being stupid.

I fought multiple camps yesterday where I would help one side kill the other and afterwards the living side would just stand around. After a minute or so they’d start attacking me. So, yeah, it’s the same exact AI they’ve always had. There is literally new or improved compared to previous games, which is disappointing but expected.

What's the point of adding a black character to the game if none of the NPCs react to his skin color? They just treat him like a normal Japanese man.

I haven't checked in on the state of AC lore in a while but iirc the main conceit of the Animus is that it allows you to relive the past lives of your direct genetic ancestors, right? Homosexuals tend to sire offspring... less often, lets say.

Its odd that the game lets you play as a completely gay person who is canonically bi (at best). Why not just make the character straight? Not every game needs to let you be a pansexual lothario, especially when it directly conflicts with established lore.

Though in Odyssey's case, that probably is the one where bi would make the most sense.

Also why the fuck not just make Yasuke+Naoe a thing, if you are presumably playing as one person who is related to both of them.

AC stopped using ancestors since Black Flag. In Origins the future protagonist literally hooks a cable to Bayek's mummy to use the Animus, so yeah

Yeah like every other ac in the last 15 years what else is new

Are we gonna put salt on everything ac has done badly but only now are we giving fair reviews?

Mortismal gaming whoever it is loved Veilguard by the way

 

[Braag]

Seems like another Veilguard situation where mainstream media praises the game and youtubers who are not on anyone's payroll are explaining the game's shortcomings.

Man I thought this was a joke edit haha

It really does have the garysmod look and feel. It's bizarre when the actual world looks so good.
