there was some rumor article going around about Persia being a future setting which imo is a great idea and there are many interesting periods to choose from.

So uhh, I think I beat the game? I'm not sure. Are there no end credits? I got to The Reader as Layla, Basim got the staff and ended up in the current day, I re-entered the Animus as Basim, Sigurd came back to England with me and gave me the throne, the people at my settlement sang to me and that was kinda it. Never saw credits. I didn't even find out who the final Order member was. I got 5 of the 6 clues but it says "Continue the story to find the next clue". What story is there left to continue? Killing the zealots I haven't discovered yet?

There is also one big final assault where you get a bunch of your allies from the other regions together and assault a small town where a certain king is hiding out if you haven't done that one yet. It showed up for me after the Basim stuff. If you finished Asgard/Jotunheim you also get a second part of that ending from doing the glitch Layla parkour puzzles you find in the world.

Skeezy posted:Is the climbing slower in this game compared to Odyssey/Origins or is it just me thinking it is. I think it's just more deliberate Climbing that huge peak in the first area took forever and felt so worth it. I haven't really gotten that feeling in an AC game... since 2, probably

Syndicate had some of the tallest man made structures to climb iirc and you could definitely feel it, but the mechanic itself could be a bit iffy at times. that was also the one where they half-borrowed the rope thing from just cause

The path I took to even get on top was winding, well designed, realistic, gorgeous, and then from the top you can see actual kilometers away seemingly Should I hurry through to England?

I literally climbed to Fannaraki Summit from the coastline, for some reason like 90% of every cliff face headed to the summit is perfectly climbable. It took like 10 mins but was oddly satisfying

BitBasher posted:I'm not aware there is a separate button press? I hit the light or heavy attack button and it spins around and make bubbles and like 3% of the time may break a crate or wooden wall with no rhyme or reason. Is there a separate button I am missing? My hit rate has improved a great deal by holding the Lunge button while I do the attack.

quote:- Heavy and light attack stats will now adjust correctly based on acquired skill nodes. This is vague enough that I'm not sure what this implies but my take is that melee combat damage was not being increased by skill nodes. Which would go a long way to explain why ranged damage numbers are always like 5-10 times higher.

I finally progressed far enough in the campaign to come across a hammer. It's very cool but I'm so good with the two-handed axe that I always come back to it.

So I just came across a bug. I was wandering around Glowcestre when I saw someone who ended up being the Ravenscorpe blacksmith. I talked to him...and the game went to a black screen and loaded for a while, which turned out to be because it was teleporting us both back to Ravenscorpe. I exited out of the conversation which is when a lady spawned right behind him. And she's apparently a friend of his who's filling in while he's off trying to get laid or something. Meanwhile, he's still here. I can talk to him, use the blacksmith services as him or the new lady. So...out of curiosity, how is this supposed to work normally? I'm guessing he's tied to the Glowcestrescire questline, which is available but I have not actually started?

Is there a reason to get a PS5 version of the game not on sale, when the PS4 version has a PS5 digital upgrade for free and is on sale? Is the upgrade not the same as the PS5 version?

Rinkles posted:Got Unity and Syndicate for free. Which should I play? Syndicate imo. Unity's the only game in this dumb series that I really struggled to finish, and I'm even a weirdo who kind of liked 3. That said, Unity was the first game to depart from the "kill enemies with one hit if you counter them correctly" paradigm that the game established starting with brotherhood, and that took me a really long time to get used to, so maybe it's better than I gave it credit for at the time, but it currently sits at the bottom of my power rankings.

Okay now that I've progressed further I've gotten a few bugs here and there. Nothing gamebreaking but the notable ones: -talking to a random guy just before a big siege made every word bubble disappear, so I had to reload before they'd appear again -on the little sidequest with the baker to pick up a delivery the boat despawned before cutscene started so Eivor just plunged into the river for a few seconds then it cut to her and the baker only she was soaking wet -Fulke the 'witch' was still hanging out in the spot in Oxenfordschire where she helps you lay a trap. If you've beaten the plot arc there you know why this is pretty funny (sidenote: it's pretty dumb that her big reveal is that she's not a witch but a paladin considering she's literally wearing a bunch of crucifixes from the get-go. what, they couldn't just model two separate outfits for her?) Other than little stuff like that its been good times! I just finished the Sciropescire arc (Ivarr, the boy prince and the fat bishop situation) and I'm wondering if I hosed up or the plot just railroads you into loving up: At the beginning I chose to give the 650 gold to Rhodri's brother who promised to usurp him only to see Ivarr immediately execute him anyway. I then spent most of the arc trying to be sneaky or diplomatic only for Ivarr to gently caress it up, and then in the end he killed the prince, killed Rhodri and then I killed him which I assume is not how it went down historically. It was interesting and kind of the logical outcome of the characters in play but I wonder if there was anyway to deviate from that basic structure at all?

Pretty sure Ivarr is the sort to invite himself it's pointed out explicitly that Ivarr has a mean, burning grudge against Rhodri

Game is... okay. Good-okay. I reinstalled odyssey for a second complete playthrough though because this game is a serious disappointment on three fronts for me: 1. The loot. No randomized loot means nothing to gleefully find. I go through some crazy rear end ruin filled with vipers and free-dive ancient caves and I get to the glowing chest and find... a copper ingot. gently caress you. 2. The lack of sea battles. I goddamn loved ramming ships in odyssey. I put all my materials into building a better Ram. Arrows? Javelins? Miss me with that garbage. It was super fun to ram the hell out of a ship. Without naval battles the ship is literally the equivalent of walking across the terrain with mob AI off and no possibility for any discovery. 3. The difficult fights - zealots? I dunno only seen one huge guy with a full body shield - require you to stay in sight at all times. I had some epic thirty-minute insane fights across entire loving mountains in odyssey as I would pick on a merc twice my level and just fire arrow their head and dance around them and then oh-poo poo have to flee and hide. Then another merc would show up and I’d have multiple tactics going in a crazy fast-swap weapon dance of cat and mouse. Nothing was as fun as me v five bloodthirsty assholes and working desperately to remember to poison that one, fire that one, run, hit hit, hide, etc. Epic battles just ranging for miles. In this game, if you ever break LOS they heal up to full instantly. You do not. Edit: lots and lots and lots of bugs too. Some quite funny. Some poo poo. I like the Mysteries mechanic though. Nice to not have a bunch of side quests everywhere. Glad you can skip the skill nodes if you don’t want them. Hyzenth1ay fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Nov 26, 2020 |

I'm power level 150 or something and I still haven't killed any of those zealots. Even the one that is supposed to be level 90 feels impossible. And from what I've seen they're all the same?.. They all use sword and shield and hurl spears at you. Immune to backstabbing. Even in Origins they were all unique and could join the fight when the alarm is on, right? Here they're just roaming the scenery minding their own business. There was a story quest that could apparently make them seek me but I resolved it and I didn't have to fight any of them.

Well this is interesting. I had somehow obtained the Galloglach armor before, not sure how, but when I went to open the appropriate chest for it...out pops a second set. I have no idea how this happened but I have two of them? I hope I'm not screwed out of some other armor set.

A similar thing exists with the Huntsman's chest piece, where buying one of the tattoos in the shop gives you a second copy. It looks like it's going to be fixed in the upcoming patch, though.
