Good review, got me interested in the game more now.
Happy about that! 🙏🏻
I think ill play Yasuke during the day and Naoe at night for the most part. For the open world areas, im also going with Yasuke for just moving around since there isn't really many buildings and then when i come across areas that need Naoe ill just switch. For immersion sake, i personally feel like it's awkward for a ninja to just be out and about running and flipping everywhere during the day, unless i have to. I will also use transmog and equip more armored but casual outfits for Yasuke, outfits like the one shown in the recent exploration article, as i also feel like it's awkward to be roaming around and attempting to climb in full battle gear. Yasuke is a ronin, so full armor just feels off.
Everything looks good so far but my biggest concern is the open world free roaming feel. The world seemed kind of static besides the weather dynamics and when you are in a main quest. The few activities they showed seem to have the same issue i had with GOT, they were not dynamic/organic and were very repititive. From some gameplays, the only thing i saw in terms of open world events were 2 things. 1 where you find some NPCs crying because their wagon of vases is broken, but that doesn't progress into anything and they just stand there crying. The second was finding some different factions fighting eachother. You can get involved but it doesn't mean much. Even if you don't intervene, the faction that wins the bout just ends up fighting you now and that's it.
I really hope there's more organic and dynamic open world activities that make free roaming engaging and immersive. Im gonna go very minimal HUD and try and slow down to highten the immersion and try and organically come across stuff, so for me free roaming with Yasuke makes sense as i don't want to be running full speed everywhere. I'll probably also reduce the difficulty for combat and increase it as i get stronger, but the stealth difficulty will always be on max. I find for these RPG UBI games , it helps to do so and avoid staring at markers and the spongy enemies. The only problem is if the game itself is static, then doing so may only highlight the deadness of the game world even more! So many NPCs just seemed to stand around in a looping animation.
Yeah,black dude in feudal Japan is really immersive
@ Bet you and many others that played Nioh didn’t have as big an issue as ya’ll are pretending to now.
I personally would also have preferred a Japanese Samurai and a male shinobi, but pretending to care that much that you think it’s the reason people won’t be immersed is just intellectually dishonest.
The truth is most people just don’t care. They only care a little if the character insert is not white. If it were a white dude there would be less issue because most of the people complaining are white. Heck even the Japanese people would complain less, seeing as they are kind of obsessed with inserting white Europeans in their anime.
@@Kimkong2 every AC had acurate people in time it was set! And now they put female ninja and some black dude eho was used as court Jester,Lmao
@@zlocerekzlo2254 Accurate ? There was nothing accurate about any of the characters, they are all based on fiction. The whole concept of assassins and templars is based on fiction. Odysseys Kassandra was female, there were no female spartan soldiers. Evie is a female assassin and so is shao jun. No issues there. But a black dude, and suddenly people care about accuarte represenation in an entirely fictional role! And the kicker is that the dude actually existed.
@Kimkong2 and he was not samurai or anyone that matter...im saying accurate for region they are from,Alexios is odisey? 🤡....stop writing books in comments section
Can’t wait to play my copy bought two copies and can’t wait to dive in
Jumping from seven stories into a haystack on your back is ridiculous 😆
but FUN!!!
Great objective review. Thanks for this
Thanks for watching!
Already pre-ordered digitally on PS5, I discovered you by Jorraptor’s AC lives and hope to see you again live with Jor!
How can some of the enemies be way bigger than Yasuke.. Such a stupid decision to put unrealistically big enemies in the game. Just why.....
Gameplay purposes i guess
@@chriscolombie4135yeah but they boast about it being historically accurate
Think I would of been better if you play as one character and customized them instead
Full customized too. Where you can make a completely unique character.
Great preview video on AC Shadows. I'm pretty excited to play it. It looks like it will be less bloated than Valhalla, which is a good this.
After the whole delay saga i understood there would be just one normal edition of the game, which would include the dlc if you preorder it. But now on PS Store i see that there is a normal edition which does not include the dlc and a deluxe edition for 20 eur more that includes the dlc (as well as some other stuff)...what gives?
You get the expansion for free, with the standard edition. The deluxe edition only gives you the generic extra items, which honestly isn't worth the extra money.
Both editions have the DLC! The digital deluxe edition gives you some mythical exclusive items.
Best Assassin Creed Ever
Can not wait to play this Gameeee
Lol
Lool
If only Ubisoft wasn't woke. This would indeed have been the best AC game
I’ll just play Yasuke like Aya’s missions in origins, once in a while
Can you spend the experience points you got with Naoe on Yasuke or do you have to use them for Naoe
Loot and 'experience' is shared between the protagonists. You can find gear for Naoe on Yasuke and vice versa. You also earn Knowledge Points for both characters regardless of which character you earned it on. It means that if you just play Yasuke, Naoe will not be behind in power and ability compared to Yasuke.
The combat looks so slow enemies just stand there for too long.. there needs to be a fluidity to it so you need to attack, dodge or parry. Look at god of war 2018 or ghost of tsushima something like that. Combat is important to me. They've been like this since the first game I find it bizarre how they haven't evolved and improved it.
The world here looks fantastic
Hey so what’s with the blood? There’s hardly any is that just how the game is??
It can be adjusted, he turned it off for youtube.(Maybe)
First! It looks gorgeous and amazing!!
Ive never seen a company tirn so many peoples heads around with gameplay and a story traiker
They reallyworked some wonders here
Never going to see a penny of my money till they allow me to play the character I want. Not being able to play as a male ninja keeps my money in my pocket and them headed toward bankruptcy.
Why are you opposed to playing as a female shinobi?
Uuh someone’s got an ego problem 😬
As a man I want to play as a male character. If I was female I believe I would feel the same way. What I really want is for game developers to give us a choice but they seem to have went away from that. When I play games I try my best to create a character who is a likeness of myself. I make decisions in game on what I would do. It’s really know more to it then that. They as a company have a right to make there game as the deem fit. I as a consumer have a right to buy it or not. I will not buy or play it.
@ not ego at all. I like playing a male character as I’m male. There are giving me no choice so I will not buy there game. How that is ego I’m at a lose to understand. Why developers went away from giving us a choice to play what we want for the money we put down is beyond me. I have my thoughts on what it is but me not buying something cause it’s not what I want to play is in no way ego it’s just my choice. I would be totally against this game if it had only a male ninja I was able to play and no female. I’m not buying because I have no choice. Not paying for something that I don’t like.
@@nightshadow5993 i'm a woman and i don't care if the protagonist i play as is male or female. why do you?
Hopefully you can turn those numbers off
If the game is so good why not 10 out of 10 or 9 out of 10
Not every good game is 9 or 10
He was paid to do this, ofc it'd be a 9/10. In reality it's more of a 6/10
@@ihaveanxiety8093you haven’t even played stop being a hater .. it’s always it’s “paid” if it’s something yall don’t like or isn’t fanboying over
@@MrAjking808 Sure, go waste your money. Its just a copy and paste of recent AC games just with some woke bullcrap. Calling it historically accurate while you can see watermelon in spring XD. The enemy AI are dumb, the characters aren't even balanced, yasuke isn't even an assasin, what's he doing in an AC game?. Ubisoft messed up. Supporting them by buying their crappy game will only bring more crappy games.
Ac more of the same i will never buy or trust ubiturd again
he said a 7/10 is slightly below average game what? lol
That was my expectation at the start
It then turned to an 8.5 of 10
In a broad sense 7/10 is above average, but for a triple A game from a huge developer and for their best selling franchise, that's not good. Average would be 8. It would be like going to a 7/10 exclusive gourmet restaurant. That's very different from a 7/10 street food vendor or local restaurant.
@@Kimkong2 wait this is Ubisoft man they only release quadruple A games 😂😂
@@ihaveanxiety8093 💀😂
Thats crazy how Ubisoft fires at all directions begging any one to "try" their game, even small channels with 7k-16k subscribers.
So what? The difference between small creators and big ones is just luck.
that's a good practice, props for Ubisoft. With that being said, after seeing new gameplay, I think AC is no more for me. Not a fan of the gameplay, especially combat and parkour.
That's literally one of the best practices you can do in this industry. Wtf are you on about?
@@Asdasdasdrj if AC is not for you anymore then what did you disliked about shadows exactly?
@mohammadashikurrahman7530 combat, parkour, poor stealth mechanics. I prefer immersion (no kicking enemies 10m away etc) and simulating games. I think AC never was a simulation game but with every new instalment, it is even going further away from what it was in the past.
I don't remember when Ghost of Tsushima came out but from what I've seen so far, GoT suits me much more then AC Shadows, and that game is already few years old
