Assassin's Creed Shadows Isn't Doing As Well As Valhalla, But That's Okay

@elderlord99: alex33x has the numbers apparently

@elderlord99: Cause they're probably embarrassing just like failguard.

@RSM-HQ: most people haven't a clue about ubisoft's internal problems to do so with called sexual harassment. I say it that way since anything can be deemed that in todays society. However what most people who just play their games are aware of is how repetitive and samey all their games are on top of all the heavy micros. If this game fails that will be the reason and the SA stuff will have little to no impact since most don't follow games enough to hear or care about that.

@RSM-HQ: After they forcing online services in their games, even forcing singleplayer games online and then they turning off online aspects of games relatively too soon and thus they removing access to games everyone warns new comers about it. The guy says "I never played any Ubisoft game before, is Shadows is a good start" and people spam "don't buy the game, they remove your game from your library!!!" which tells a lot about why people wouldn't wanna buy from Ubisoft anymore, not that it's the only sin of Ubisoft as they are known for never fixing their games despite tons of people can't play the game. Who can say they won't remove Shadows this instant :DDD!!! A big aspect of why buying any Ubisoft game anymore is a bad decision is they will probably go bankrupt soon and therefore their games can't be accessed because thanks to double DRM, despite you may have bought the game on Steam you still need Ubishit shit.

Another aspect is Denuvo. The guy comes and asks "it's first time I'm using a PC but what's Denuvo", and everyone tells them "Denuvo is a poison makes you cannot play the game unless you are connected to internet and if Denuvo servers shut down say goodbye to whatever games that have Denuvo" and the new comer is like "damn son, I'll stick to playing games on my [whatever video game console] lol.

While video gaming killed they wanna raise the prices to $100. It's okay to ask whatever price but it doesn't mean you'll profit lol.

@mogan: I am about 12-15 hours into the game near the end of the first act I think. Its a classic revenge story AC game. There is a hidden animus subplot but so far its a group murdered my family etc. Hopefully when Yasuke is added the story has more to it.

There is a large gameplay loop that involves castles which at first are fun but have gotten a bit monotonous as the size of the castles and required kills to clear goes up.

As Yasuke is the warrior I can see myself clearing all the castles and any other larger area with him just because as a warrior (like in odyssey you could do both so it was real gratifying to start stealth then just clear out the remainder of the fort quickly with warrior skills) it feels like it will be so much faster then the stealth. Some places the stealth is a ton of fun but when a castle takes an hour to clear and you only really get a new piece of legendary gear and does not progress the story speed will be nice.

I skipped Mirage but so far odyssey and origins were a lot better stories. Valhalla had a better start but just dragged on too long.

Cutscenes have been pretty good but Noae face is somewhat wooden and could use more expression. I can see why Japanese people would not like this game for the story as it seems contrary to what I envision (granted limited knowledge) Japan would have been like. Ghost feels much more accurate to the times and the gameplay is better.

Enjoying the game but a solid 7/10. Biggest gripe is the Field of vision or zoom out function is only on the PC (I play console) and the action part of the game makes it difficult when you cant see the 5 enemies walking up behind you to slice you up. For me this is essential in a stealth action game so you can see what is happening around you and adjust.

@mogan: Some of my friends who skipped Assassin's Creed since Syndicate tried Shadows, they all say the series turned into Metal Gear on nonsense long cutscenes and it's also like bad copy of Bioware games on cringy romantic character dramas going on. It's more like less gameplay, more dramatic display. Some of my friends burned their devices they played the game on, only one of them didn't refund it because she loves romantic stuff lol.
