Why wouldn’t you buy digital bruh?


The questionable “ownership” legalese regarding digital content these days for one. I like physical copies of my games.

Similar to others about 2-3 hours into it.

-Does the raven eventually auto detect enemies, or something I can spec into? I suck at detecting and marking on my own
-The world map is too white/bright. I even lowered the games brightness down, didn't really help.
-Not the biggest fan of the early combat system. I know I had the same gripe with Odyssey so I'm hopeful it turns around. To me fighting should be 75% offensive, 25% defensive and it feels like too much emphasis is on being defensive.
-Agree that the game is "ugly". I mean it's not really but I'll say the environment is bland.
-Definitely seeing stuttering on my 2nd Gen Xbox One, especially in the interactive cut scene with the seer on the mountain (don't think that's too spoilery). Can't wait to upgrade to the X.

Bastards.


Yea, I canceled my order once it appeared it wouldn't show up yesterday. The disc was $10 cheaper plus I can give it to my step-dad to play when I'm done. Oh well, went digital instead.

Man, Skillup’s review was brutal.

Is this on gamepass? If so, I’ll at least try it. If not, I’m out.

Anyone think this game looks like shite compared to Odyssey?


I said it looks like shite to and people just downvoted me instead of actually responding.

Probably a console thing being tapped out.

First review I read immediately talked about how it looked quite a bit better than Odyssey but this was on PC.

What are the dashes below the weapon stats when you’re looking at a weapon in inventory?

Example: I have Varins Axe and below the normal numerical states there is a bar with 4 dashes and one of the dashes is filled.

Quick note:

Of you like to slow play and explore a bit save often.

My game froze at a cave.. lost about 2 hours of just hunting and collecting.

Playing on a series X and just started only complaint was the too scientific HDR settings.

Civilian deaths causing desynchronization is absolutely retarded, you’re a viking for fricks sake. Just had to restart a raid again for killing stupid civilians caught in the radius of my axe swing

They’re penalizing you for civilian kills in an even dumber way now?

I’d take the horde of mercs over that.

No, the save functions just like Odyssey. Won't trigger or allow you to manually save in restricted areas or in the middle of combat.

Yeah that’s a bit lame.... we’re Vikings. We are slaughtering people in churches. But we can’t kill “innocents”?

Just stupid.

Because you’re also an assassin and they’re not allowed to kill innocents. There was a similar thing in Black Flag where you were a pirate but I think they allowed you to kill up to two civilians before it restarted. I think they also didn’t allow you to kill farm animals.

I'm about 7-8 hours into the game now. Over into England and just starting to establish and grow Ravensthorpe and the game has grown on me immensely since starting.

The fighting style is different from past AC games and the switch from controller to MnK isn't nearly as intuitive for me yet, but the game is absolutely gorgeous on PC. The revamped looting and quest structuring is a definite plus and I've spent the majority of my time just roaming around synchronizing, treasure hunting, and mead guzzling.

Feels like I'm right at the top of the rollercoaster climb and am about to pitch over and start heading way down into the rabbit hole for hours and hours on this game. Can't wait!
