Don't buy anything from this guy until the trilogy is finished, the last book was due in like 2014 and the author keeps doing anything but the last novel. Short stories, tv stuff, board games etc
Granted the story is fantastic, arguably one of the best written fantast books I've read, but his outright refusal to finish (jerk to fans as well) means like the rest of us itll never be complete.
@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.
This is going to be great Cavill producing & starring means it'll be very lore correct, cant wait. I hope they can also hire Bautista to act that would be great.
The creator doesnt tell you there are like 30 heads and the first part is blending 3 into a unique headshape. It is more difficult then it should be. Until I followed an online guide non of the facial animations worked properly. If your looking for a good female head I blended, 12,11 & 9.
After they ruined the second movie Im not excited anymore. The first was so good and on point I couldnt believe how wrong they got the second one its like it was filmed first.
