So hows Ac Shadows for Yall so far ?

[AtorfRisha]

Game is fun really and cant wait for Ac: Codename Hexe .

Of course dont know why the hate on this game is still going when the combat is like fire . Also at least better optimization than bleach rebirth of souls PC port.

this game is just bloated, like the company. too much stuff, none of which are done exceptionally well. a smaller staff/budget would have made it a lot better.

i wanted a refund but it was too late, so I got the most enjoyment out of just focusing on one activity, bum-rushing the castles.

and then there's the vague baseline challenge, with more difficulty sliders I have ever seen in any AAA title. minigames annoying? disable it. assassin dmg scaling annoying? disable it. hiding waypoints annoying? disable it. enemy hp scaling annoying? disable it.

Respectfully, im done with bloated shotgun style criticism like this.

Just throwing whatever rigid criticism or cynical strawman argument you can at a game for the sake of debates. It sours people's perception.

I respect cognitively functioning adults to make their own decisions, including coming to forums to and complaining about games they hate and despise so much yet can't seem to stop talking about

best ever AC so far

[Ryu]

Despite having the usual Ubisoft open world bloat and repetitive mission structures especially during the second act, I found it to be an enjoyable game overall. The scenery is beautiful, it has the best stealth gameplay in all of this series and the combat is simple but satisfying as both characters, moreso Naoe because since she takes a lot of damage I felt encouraged to actually get enemy attack patterns down, as opposed to playing Yasuke and just steamrolling every enemy that isn't way above my level. I also had fun building my hideout and getting people in it through the side missions, but I was more interested in progressing through the main story, so I ended up not giving it as much attention as I could have.

I'm enjoying it, but I'm definitely going from exploration mode to bee-line it to the quests mode. I've also started to use Yasuke a lot more because I'm getting sick of sneaking and fights taking so long. He just demolishes everything in like 1/4th the time.

My biggest complaints are
1. fast travel points in castles. They are a pain to get to and to get out of. Honestly if they didn't have the kasaguras I might have even stopped playing the game because of how much I hate having to climb through a castle just to unlock the fast travel point.
2. fighting on uneven ground is just completely broken.
3. The base is basically completely pointless except for some stat boosts like 1/2 way through the game. It really should have been fleshed out a lot more.

Other than that I'm loving the game.

couldnt care less about playing as yasuke i got my fill of samurais when 100% ghost of tsushima, but iam loving the ninja girl this is the tenchu game i've been waiting the last 15+ years for and its from ubisoft of all companys.

uplay+ was worth it, soon as this game goes on sale i'll be buying it

the game you are describing is called assassin's creed mirage. it was a much smaller game, with a smaller open world, smaller staff & budget, and it was a great game. it cut out all the bloat of modern AC games and focused on stealth, story, and style. unfortunately, it didnt sell nearly as well as it should have, because it was the best modern AC game in my opinion.
by that reckoning, it seems the market wants big open world bloat, or mirage would have done better.
for myself, i would prefer more entries that are smaller in scope, like mirage.
that said, this game is good. i have had no performance problems, the game is beautiful, the combat is adequate, the story is mid, the voice acting is (mostly) poor. i have had fun with every hour i put into the game, and i play games to have fun. games that aren't fun (like dark souls, elden ring, wukong, and the torrential downpour of hentai puzzle gem crusher simulators) don't do anything for me. i dont play them, i am not interested in them, and i dont go to forums for those games to troll the people who do enjoy them.

I'm really enjoying it.

Not what i wanted for an AC set in Japan. I was hoping for my own regiment of ninjas i could recruit like in Brotherhood, Odyssey and Valhalla and send them on contracts and call upon on them in the field; but it seems they completely forgot their past systems that made their games so great to play.

World is nice but graphics are about 5% of what makes a game good for me. It still has the Ubisoft problem of having nothing really to do in it then random "tick off" lists.

Killing targets in their castle gets cumbersome as the layout is always the same and the boss is almost in the same place giving that "copy/paste" vibe.

Naoe and Yasuke are "okay" characters but I was hoping for a single protagonist that we choose gender for like in the past titles.

Combat is off the rails and feels more like a hack and slash then an assassins creed game.

RPG element has been downtuned from previous entries and we dont have as many gear pieces to where which is a mistake imo as making builds and farming for gear was fun.

Time will tell what the game and franchises future will be from now on but I havent enjoyed what ive seen for me personally.

[Ansgar Odinson]

Really enjoying it. I have some gripes, but they dont overtake the fun I am having. I do wish there was less stuff that demanding I play Yauske. I really dont like playing him. Cool character, but absolute arse to play.

[Ryu]

Also I really wish enemy AI was more aggressive in combat, I tried to crank up the difficulty cause I thought it would change the AI like the stealth difficulty, but I didn't feel any difference besides the amount of HP they have and the damage they deal.

Played ll and Brotherhood a while ago, skipped a bunch, heard about the Unity disaster, tried Origins and loved it, played some Odyssey but couldn't get around how packed with stuff it was and not in a good way, plus the UI was overwhelming and I couldn't reduce it, may have been due to playing a "free 30 hour" version of it.

Shadows is a bit of a mixed bag, coming from oldschool games like Tenchu or Splinter Cell Chaos theory, I had pretty high expectations.
Naoes moveset is brilliant and there's a lot of thought put into her getting around the map, let's not talk about Yasuke here, he should have his own game, he has trouble getting over a fence.
The problem with the ninja fantasy execution to me is that the parkour stuff still is janky at times, even after nearly 20 years of AC games and you sometimes mess up not by your own fault, but due to systems and when you do most of the time it's super easy to just murder half a dozen guys, as long as nobody runs off and rings a bell, nobody else further than 20 meters/~yards will notice all the yelling, gurgling and clanking, which is a bit of a bummer.

The visuals are great if you run everything on ultra, but once you develop an eye for detail you'll notice a heck ton of copy pasted assets through the ray traced light in the forests or towns.
Some of the story missions are really good in terms of emotional connection or explaining the characters motivations, those aren't the norm though, base building is functional and provides a fun little social hub by the end, with a bunch of NPC's to trigger short audio snippets with and little magic piglets to put on the grass.
Then there's a heck ton of "murder this group of thugs" quests, which I guess is what we all signed up for, it's just kinda lame when you meet an old guy in a town, he tells you to kill a bunch of his former soldiers, you scan the map with a scout, find the person of interest, often situated randomly on a hill or whatever, stabby stab, next, repeat until a circle of random folks is dead and you got a bunch of random gear you probably don't need, then you go back to old dude from town, turns out he isn't super nice, done. Rinse and repeat.

So mechanically it's sometimes good, technically it's above average, visuals are great until you realize there's only one copy pasted Shinto shrine to pray at 150 times throughout the map, audio is solid, better when you play in immersive mode, that's Japanese and Portuguese audio with subs. I turned the music off because it distracts from all the ambient environmental sounds and got 90+ hours out of it without 100%ing it, but got the Suture Self achievement, which is about Vaseline, I think...

There's about 45 minutes of credits and they list a marketing trainee, no idea what that guy did but he sure as heck did not increase the game size by 5mb by doodling up a slightly different tree in photoshop.

7.3 out of 10 for me. Wukong was way more fun, even though it too has a slight bit of jank here and there.
