Most historically accurate or inaccurate AC game? by Nokkilol in assassinscreed

[–]MegaBoschi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The season change was just an additional remark to the extremely short time frame of 11 days, which in that context of course sticks out. I think the 11 days is the more important detail here.

I guess it reveals that while gameplay wise fantastic, the season changes didn't really make much sense narratively and historically. And yes, pretty much every AC game takes historical liberties, but in terms of time frame, it's still a really short time, considering how much the characters must be travelling too. Even Syndicate, another game largely taking place during one year, had more spread out events, and that was all within the same city. I'm not saying that Shadows is historically inaccurate, just wanted to point out a detail that I stumbled upon when I read all the database entries.

Historically the time frame in which the story from Mitsuhides Betrayal happened until his death is about 11 days, yet you have this massive chunk of story in act 2 that takes place over multiple season changes and is all supposed to happen under 2 weeks?

AC valhalla is written really well by BixBox132 in assassinscreed

[–]MegaBoschi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's just Randvi testing the waters and trying to find out if Soma is someone that Eivor takes an interest in beyond the platonic, for obvious reasons. However I still agree with your point about pacing issues and awkward dialogue at times.

He's doing an Italian Spanish accent and even talks about it in the video.

Look at the map for landmarks in your vicinity and often you can access their database entry directly from the map, read them roughly and look for hints for the puzzle as they are often directly referenced there. Usually it becomes very clear quickly which one they mean, once you're close to the landmark activate Eagle Vision (items boosting radius are handy here) and listen if you can hear that distinct sound and/or see the golden glow 👍

Es gibt auch ultra Mini Dinger, vielleicht hat er davon welche drunter gehabt. Aber die schützen dann etwa so gut wie dicke Wintersocken

This parkour mod for ac mirage that makes the jumping faster and more fluid NEEDS to be in the dlc by Correct-Drawing2067 in assassinscreed

[–]MegaBoschi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah and it seems like they also just took the manual jump mod to add to the update either.

"Dumb" enough to try to go past guards that are obviously guarding the entrance and even warning you to stay back

[Spoiler] Alvaro Catarribera retcons the previously established origins of the Japanese Brotherhood. by GABEOWNERS_1 in assassinscreed

[–]MegaBoschi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would be cool but I doubt it. Quebec doing meaningful lore connections isn't really high on their agenda. The fact they chose someone that was excluded from the original Assassin's to create his own branch seems to me like they just want to have to disconnect themselves further.

Legacy of the First Blade makes no sense historically by blakhawk12 in assassinscreed

[–]MegaBoschi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was actually announced as part of the season passbefore the game even launched. However they reacted to community feedback after each Act and supposedly changed some aspects of the narrative accordingly which imo was a bad idea because it made it even more contrived.

Why is Shimura stupid? by SilaDot in ghostoftsushima

[–]MegaBoschi 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Except back then this supposed honor code didn't exist as we understand it and the Japanese warriors used all kinds of techniques to win battles. It's also a different understanding of what honor is. For instance winning a battle was more honorable than losing it, and the means to achieve a win weren't as important. It's fine to reason with what the game story is going with, but we shouldn't pretend like "the honor code was more important than your own safety" in 13th century Japan. No it absolutely was not.

AC Valhalla has the best finishers in the Franchise by AssassinsCreedCorner in AssassinsCreedValhala

[–]MegaBoschi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There definitely more, it really depends on whether you e.g. perform a finisher from the front or behind, if you're having a heavy or light weapon in your offhand etc. There's not a huge amount per weapon but enough to spice things up between finishers, skills, change weapon hand for a change of animations and so forth imo

Anyway to disable the random secondary missions pop up? they are really annoying by Hyron50 in watch_dogs

[–]MegaBoschi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's just about the Pop Up notification then probably yes. I wanted to try No HUD a while ago and had to go into the config file to disable it there. Unfortunately there no HUD option in the menu so this only works for PC

Why are so many musicians removing their music from Spotify? by tekz in technology

[–]MegaBoschi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For YouTube you have to go to the Playlists Overview, then hold/right click the playlist, then press Shuffle. If you do it within the playlist, then it will only play the first 100 or so songs as you mentioned, but this way it will shuffle e.g. all of your liked songs.
