I always wonder who's behind the scenes picking music for AC trailers, because it's always the weirdest stuff.

I get why people are worried about the RPG stuff, but it's not really that important unless you're really bought into the idea of this being open world. Yes, you can go anywhere any time, but the reality is that the RPG stuff is there to provide a linear progression from area to area, because if Syndicate is any indication, people above your level will be basically impossible, and people of your level are where you're meant to be. That, honestly, makes it a different kind of lovely, but in that sense it at least has a purpose other than padding gameplay. E: Of course two days after the game comes out there will be a Youtube video of someone killing the end boss at level one so it probably doesn't matter.

Syndicate had 4 or 5 power rankings for its map areas, I forget which exactly, and you could totally do things in any order in any area, but if you hosed up the higher level guys did like two thirds of your health a hit instead of maybe 5%, meaning it was all doable, but one missed parry and you were dead. I expect Origins will be similar, as long as you're not going somewhere a dozen levels above you. Since they've shown levels in the mid and high 20s, I just expect there will be some places you're not intended to go immediately.

exquisite tea posted:It honestly looks like too much game for me to enjoy. I didn't like that about TW3 and that map from Origins is already giving me shingles, especially because you know ubi isn't going to be very strategic about managing quest bloat. I want to post a table breaking thinking emoji here, I really do. I guess I get that, but if the game's good I definitely want as much of it as I can handle, since I very rarely replay single-player story focused stuff, so the more time I end up enjoying it first time through the better.

The Mummy trilogy.  Egypt tends to be something that sees use as a background informant of a movies themes and locales rather than a focus on Egyptian life and politics itself. Which I'm cool with normally, it's better than nothing and dynastic Egyptian architecture and fashion is incredibly cool, but there's no real deep dive anything like there's thousands of medieval European movies. Rome season 2 does probably some of the best noodling around in that stuff but it's still not a focus. Books I don't know, I'm a lovely idiot who doesn't read much non-fiction.

Like he's genuinely upset for good reason, juuuust enough of a good guy to recognize the injustice in the world, but also basically an old cop who's not 100% on this whole 'do literally anything more complex than kick the door in and sword a guy'. It's extremely my jam. Yeah it's interesting. All of the assassins have had some kind of major quirk or character pivot point. Ezio was a charming rogue, Connor was a whiny child incapable of learning, Edward was an rear end in a top hat, Arno was impossibly boring, Shay was gullible, Evie was clever and Jacob was a lovable idiot. Bayek is just kind of a dude. He's got motivations but he's just generally some fuckin' guy going around Egypt trying to fix a few things and maybe get justice. It's cool.

Honestly at some point I'm okay with that. I have been a huge fan of the series, but even I was beginning to feel the burn out with Unity and Syndicate. If they can get the time to make meaningful changes and improvements with each iteration, that'd be great. They won't, they'll be back to one a year next year, but it'd be cool.

LASER BEAM DREAM posted:Is anyone else else getting really funky sound when playing with headphones? I have a Fiio E10K DAC and have had no issues with any other games or media, but all of the voice acting sounds muddy, like the game is configured for a different sound setup. There are some serious issues with USB surround headsets, if that's what that is. Use jacks or another headset.

Krazyface posted:The player having a piece of eden would fit in with the theory that they end up building the proto-templar organisation. No shield, they've been talking about the last couple days. They want to force a more aggressive pace of combat, and you have various equippable moves with a very quickly filling adrenaline meter to more easily deal with crowds/bosses.

exquisite tea posted:Don’t all Steam keys double dip with Uplay though? So unless I’m reading that incorrectly you can launch it at midnight, just from Ubisoft’s own app. I don't think they do anymore because of how they have to handle DLC registration limitations. Technically once it's launched on Steam it'll register through Uplay and you can just play it from there but that requires the Steam launch, AFAIK. Steam also doesn't display discrete cd-keys anymore for the most part if you wanted to move it into the system ahead of time.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:Didn't Origins already have that? It'd constantly pop up on screen USE SENU TO LOCATE WHATEVER!!! and there was no way to turn it off What this does is turn off quest location markers - givers, end points, objectives, items - a la old school RPGs. Since you've still got a magic bird it's not as tedious as it might otherwise be. Luckily you can swap to and from that mode at any time so I might start on it just to see how it goes.

Here is a video of all the Legendary armor sets in the game, which all give a bonus for the full set being equipped. He doesn't actually tell you how or where to get them but obviously for some people this is still a massive spoiler so own best judgement etc etc. Disclaimer aside, they all look sick as hell.

Raygereio posted:What I've seen so far of Odyssey looks really interesting, but I haven't played an AssCreed game after Revelations. Have the devs talked about how thick the modern era plotline will be? And if the story will be friendly to newcomers? AFAIK they haven't really talked about it. If Origins is any indication it'll occasionally pull you out of your history murder to have the new modern day character(s) chat for about five seconds, after which you can almost always immediately go back in the Animus and tell them to go gently caress themselves. As for the story in the main game, again if Origins is any indication it'll probably still have the same Rule The World overtones AC always has but since it's based before the Assassin Order was created and potentially even before the Templars, it'll probably be pretty standalone.

Refinements, improvements, some small but meaningful steps on the road of "Let's make AC a full RPG" and a new setting. Given the size and content it's a good thing they'll be taking another year off.

PantsBandit posted:I guess my main question would be: does the writing (both in general and for the mcs) seems like it's held up, or has it suffered due to the quick turn around time? I haven't really seen enough story and quest stuff to say or not. I've mostly been watching gameplay and trying not to spoil myself on the side quests and plot because they were actually pretty good in Origins. Also it's not like the game was made in a year, it's a quicker turnaround time than some things but it was made at least somewhat in parallel to Origins.
