Game definitely has that Batman feeling

 

[Bigboss242]

Damn and with my internet speed I am not going to be playing tonight... well back to fire emblem I guess.

Thanks!

 

[WheelHoss1]

Damnit, can't play tonight, sister kicked her boyfriend out in the living room. Gotta play in the morning I guess :/

Lol

Also, for anyone that can't get the Texture pack to show up in their DLC tab use this link https://steamdb.info/app/311670/ install it and it will fail, then restart Steam.

The only thing AC about it is the parkour IMO, and everything else is very Batman like.

it controls like batman for sure. But it also has air and ledge assassinations...I had straight flashbacks to ACII jumping off a bridge and stabbing a dude from above. And that's a good thing. There are aspects the AC series has gotten right

He was probably a Tracker. They said on stream that that is one of the potential traits and they will follow you and ambush you. Pretty awesome.

sounds about right, he wasn't letting up. He also convinced a bunch of his friends to track me too. Made him impossible to ignore.

So PSN fucked us for pre ordering on US psn?

cant start the game on US or EU account.

Getting the same issue, unfortunately.

 

[deoee]

The only way for EU seems to use a VPN and connect the PS4 trough a crossover cable (which I don't have to test this).
DNS Servers and Proxies do not work.

 

[leng jai]

I feel like I'm the first one that asks this for every new game but how is the sound mixing?

 

[TURBO1112]

Loving this game. I need to go to bed.

 

[V_Ben]

Getting the same issue, unfortunately.

I bought a US code from Amazon USA, and it won't redeem. Seems a bit of an issue.

 

[Rizzi]

This game is actually kind of challenging. I like that.

 

[Wallach]

Anyone have the pre-order skin on PS4? I did the Restore Licenses bit (which I had to do for both D3 and Destiny) but it didn't work for this. Is it not available yet?

 

[Xando]

Getting the same issue, unfortunately.

Trying to redownload now, maybe that fixes things.

I am able to start mine and I bought it from the U.S PSN. Try restoring your licenses.

 

[23qwerty]

So anyone else find it hard as shit to get to the first story mission simply because you get mobbed by like 7 captains?

 

[neorej]

So I have one Orc (skull on the map) who relentless follows me around. He has a train of like 20 other jerks following him too so I can't get him in a one on one fight. How do I get him to fuck off?

Send Boromir at him.

OT: has anyone played this with In Home Streaming yet? How well does it perform?

 

[Tunahead]

True, and in desolation of legolas, he's killing them like they are ants.

Still look at Aragorn in the first movie, he's out of breath and almost passed out after fighting a squad of orcs.

To be fair though, Aragorn was like 80 years old during the events of The Lord of the Rings.

 

[JayEH]

Activision owns LotR now?

[OraleeWey]

For those who played the game: how is it? I got it at midnight launch but I haven't unwrapped it yet. I'm scared I won't like it.

I'm an hour in. Feels pretty good.

 

[JoJo UK]

Y axis invert is possible, X axis invert is not.

Thanks, that might just work for me!

 

[xBladeM6x]

Never get tired of this.

 

[chico]

8 more hours of work in front of me... this day sucks!! :/

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

For those who played the game: how is it? I got it at midnight launch but I haven't unwrapped it yet. I'm scared I won't like it.

the game opens up very quickly after the cutscenes and tutorial. You'll know after an hour or 2 if the game is for you.

 

[OraleeWey]

I'm an hour in. Feels pretty good.

Sweet. Is there difficulty settings?

 

[Xando]

For the EU people that cant start it:

Ive just downloaded it again and can start it on my EU and US account.

 

[23qwerty]

No difficulty settings from what I see.

 

[Fix The Scientist]

Hmmmmmm, 1 hour in and i'm a little let down. The graphics aren't great, the open world feels completely uninteresting, controls aren't very responsive, ambient sound is pretty bad. But my biggest issue so far is that the combat doesn't have the fantastic "weight" of the arkham games, battering away at an orc isn't very satisfying... this will undoubtedly improve as i unlock more abilities though.

 

[adamantypants]

For those who played the game: how is it? I got it at midnight launch but I haven't unwrapped it yet. I'm scared I won't like it.

It's assassin's Creed stealth with uncharted climbing and batman fighting. I haven't been able to get too deep in the nemesis system but that looks promising.

 

[Camper182]

god damnit, was really hoping to play this today, i'm skipping school today for fuck sake lol

ooh... fuck... yeah i remember having to do this for Diablo and PvZ also

 

[Xando]

ooh... fuck... yeah i remember having to do this for Diablo and PvZ also

Yeah someone said there is a licensing glitch a few days ago, seems like thats it.

 

[OldGangWarily]

Can't. Stop. Playing.

When I got killed the first time, I hunted that bastard DOWN!

 

[Solidsoul]

I am not sure what other's impressions are but I have the Xbox One version and damn...what the hell was i worried about.

The game looks beautiful and plays great, i notice no issues in any way, shape, or form. I recommend getting it if XBO was the system you wanted. I think i have learned my lesson not to freak out over this stuff. I don't know what res/frames it is but if you told me it was 720p 30fps and it's this good i'm happy.

 

[Camper182]

Really dont feel like downloading 28 gb again all day long

fucking hell, why didnt i remember this

i'm never going to preorder from psn again, well, preload i mean

 

[-Deimos]

This game is literally Batman x Assassin's Creed, it's pretty great.

 

[Derpcrawler]

Ok, people were interested in direct feed screenshots from Xbox One. Here you go:\

It's locked to 30FPS it seems. Also seems sub-1080p, but I can't tell for sure.

 

[OraleeWey]

It's assassin's Creed stealth with uncharted climbing and batman fighting. I haven't been able to get too deep in the nemesis system but that looks promising.

The nemesis system is what they market heavy. If that's good then I'm good!

 

[Moss]

Oh, great. Thanks for the tip. I took my weekly personal day today so I could kick the tires of this thing, and would have been miffed if it had been for nothing.

 

[Montresor]

Feels more of Rocksteady's Batman than Ass Creed.

The only thing AC about it is the parkour IMO, and everything else is very Batman like.

Few quick impressions:

• Game looks great and so much better than these Ultimate Edition titles like Last of Us or Tomb Raider. Built for PS4 shows, and anyone who says TLoU looks better is simply lying and likes the game better.

• Combat feels way more dangerous than Assassin's Creed or Batman. Fighting a mob feels more like Dark Souls at the beginning. I barely escaped dying thinking I'd easily take down a mob. Being able to be hit while doing finishing moves is a great addition and makes combat much more of a thinking game (compared to say Ryse).

• Mordor is ugly, and that's good. It just feels like death, like the Wasteland from Fallout at its worst. There is no sanctuary, no towns (at least so far), and no real allies; only an endless sea of orc's all desperate to kill you (with different levels of commitment to that goal). This feels great.

Have to go to bed. Now some ugly potato-faced orc named something the Mad wants to kill me on top of all my other problems.

Game definitely has that Batman feeling

it controls like batman for sure. But it also has air and ledge assassinations...I had straight flashbacks to ACII jumping off a bridge and stabbing a dude from above. And that's a good thing. There are aspects the AC series has gotten rightsounds about right, he wasn't letting up. He also convinced a bunch of his friends to track me too. Made him impossible to ignore.

Well fuck. Looks like I am going to go out and get this game.

Really? Can someone confirm this? I have such a slow connection, downloading it again would be a pain :|

 

[Jindrael]

I don't really understand what a few of you are writing.

I'm in EU and have an EU PSN account, can I buy the game on an US Account and still play it on EU with trophy support etc.?

Or do I have to buy it on EU account and just switch to US and back to EU to play it?

Would really like some clarification, thanks in advance.

 

[Ken]

what armor is being worn in the giant bomb QL? that's not a preorder skin is it

 

[Xando]

Can you change skins ingame or do you have to select the skin before playing?

 

[TEH-CJ]

Wait...this game is already out in Australia?

You can buy it on US and play it on EU the problem being, that EU gets the unlock in 1d 13h instead of being able to play today.

No worries, if you only buy it now on US PSN you can just download and play on your EU account with trophy support and stuff like that

 

[Xando]

Anybody else tryed redownloading?
Finished the tutorial but have to wait until the download is complete now.

 

[Camper182]

You can buy it on US and play it on EU the problem being, that EU gets the unlock in 1d 13h instead of being able to play today.

But that is due to the preloading glitched thing, if you actually download it now you can play on your EU psn account fine
