I've read that the PC version taxes your CPU heavily due to all the anti piracy running on it. Am I better off picking it up on consoles if I have a PS4 Pro, even if I meet the recommended specs of the PC version? Edit: Scrolling up seems to suggest I should just roll console.

Can you get locked out of quests or fail them? The game has given me a "point of no return" message, so I'm wondering if I need to finish any sidequests before I go, or if they'll still be around afterward.

I'm assuming you can explore and do sidequests post-game?

I've completed the game and done every side quest. I don't know what to do with my life anymore.

The story of this game didn't really deliver too much on the "Origins" front, I must say. Kind of a wet fart in that regard, but I'm enjoying the hell out of everything else.

Man gently caress, I thought I was hot poo poo defeating these war elephants but now the game wants me to fight two at once? That's a hell of a thing. This is actually kind of fun, in a Dark Souls sort of way. Edit: I did it! man nurse fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Nov 17, 2017 |

I just completed the artifact gathering quest line and holy moly Kass in a suit is extremely my poo poo, I don't care how stupid that was Also even though I beat it in one try, Medusa was a terribly designed fight and can gently caress right off.

I know it’s probably been said before, but this game is overwhelmingly massive. Like it’s ridiculous. I’m 80 hours in and only just now doing the Olympics stuff. Granted I’ve been going out my way to do all the side stuff I encounter and hunt every cultist I can, but it’s seriously impressive how much they crammed into this massive world.

Kuiperdolin posted:It's almost all filler though. Hard disagree. A lot of the older ones were good, but I think this is an impressive and much more appealing direction for the series and it leaves you with a lot more freedom in how you tackle situations, while simultaneously offering up a compelling RPG type experience.

Well I did it. All cultists killed, all artifacts collected, spear fully upgraded. Too bad the final boss of the main story is kicking my rear end. I'll get him eventually. What a great game this was. Definitely a series high point imo. Origins was the refresh the series needed, and this was a great continuation of that. Excited to see what comes next.

So is the season pass worth it so far if I loved the base game? Contemplating grabbing it while it's still on sale. And yes I know about the controversy.

dead comedy forums posted:So I talked to a friend today about Odyssey and he strongly encouraged me to get the permanent drachmae/xp boost from the game store: his argument was all about making the game much more manageable considering how big it is. What do you think, guyses? Your friend is an idiot. You'll be swimming in loot, most of which can be sold for all the drachmae you need, and side quests and side activities will level you up just fine. Play the game you bought.

Xtanstic posted:Built a new PC and haven't played an AC since Black Flag. I want to get to murdering mooks for fun. So should I grab AC Origins or Odyssey? Does the newer one have that much more QoL improvements to justify me spending 20 more bucks? How important is choosing character gender, choosing dialogue choices, and having sex with NPCs to you? Otherwise they're pretty similar, but I enjoyed Odyssey more between the two.

Ulio posted:I am playing on a ultra wide 21:9 monitor. Download the exe from this site and replace it in your steam folder. http://www.wsgf.org/dr/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag/en There's some issue with the game's implementation of vsync that makes it perform way worse than it otherwise would. I forget what the fix for it is.

Pwnstar posted:I remember playing Origins and thinking "wait, what happened to the main antagonist evil AI that was taking over the world in the last few games?" So I looked it up and they just killed it off in some comic book. What a clusterfuck. I had been waiting for the payoff to 3's ending and it just never came, they just kept spinning their wheels doing absolutely nothing with the modern day plot. You can plainly tell that they had no idea what to do with it after the initial trilogy concluded.

Dapper_Swindler posted:it was wrapped up in the comics apparently or at least all the juno stuff was. Yeah well, that's lame, I shouldn't have to buy into external media sources to wrap up what was presented as a crucial plot point. But I guess that's what happens when a franchise explodes like this.

Yeah I was on board with the modern day stuff until they didn't know what to do with it after 3 and just kept spinning their wheels. What happened with the big bad Isu, Juno, after her release? I dunno, she becomes part of the internet or something? And then nothing. There's some new precursor objects that get forgotten about as quickly as they're introduced. I think I remember one of the games hinting at Abstergo attempting to resurrect or clone the precursor race with Isu DNA. I doubt that gets followed up on either. Then there's the new games with Layla, who is a person doing animus stuff for reasons, I guess. I don't know anymore. I thought they were setting up for something when Desmond's Father showed up at the end of Origins. Nope, not really! Thankfully, I'm still on board with the recent refresh of the series, I think it was a good direction to go in, gameplay wise.

I caved and got the odyssey season pass while it was on sale. As a result I’m playing the remaster of 3 since I’m one of the weirdos that didn’t hate it when it came out. It’s a lesser entry just cus of the environments and more set piece oriented assassinations, but I still am enjoying it overall. Weird going back to the older games from this newer format though.

I’ve come to like Unity pretty well. The story is well done for what it is, and new parkour eliminates some of the headaches and accidental deaths of the older ones. It’s a looker, too. Syndicate may have been better, but Unity is a perfectly fine asscreed game. Of course, the amount of chests and locks to pick that are barfed all over the map can be tiresome. The murder mysteries are a neat concept but you can just accuse everyone until you get the right person with little in the way of penalty. I like it a lot more than I did at launch, especially when they unlinked everything from the companion app. It feels kind of like a more polished version of 2 after the departures that 3 and 4 took.

I mean I feel like they attempted to blur the line between assassin and Templar more and more throughout the series. Unity is a good example, and it comes up in Syndicate too. Really all the latter day entries toyed with “who’s right or wrong” to some extent.
