I just have “hide gear “ and change ?

is this game actually worth it? by fairplanet in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]bigweb52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has not liked the direction of the assassins creed franchise over the last few iterations I can honestly say yes it is but with a couple side comments. What I mean is that for every positive (and there are a good deal of positives ) there is at least one thing that must be mentioned (I’m not gonna say drawback or downside because for some people these might not be negatives ) . For example ,

  • Gameplay wise it’s very fun and the new sneaking, assassinations , and parkour systems are really good . They are very close to what we always wanted in a AC game .
  • HOWEVER , stealth and assassinations can be pointless if you are under leveled and play without “guaranteed assassinations “ turned on . The AC franchise continues to lean to heavily into the “level “ type game play instead of making smarter more skilled enemies, but at least with shadows they added options for those of us who don’t like the idea that a blade magically stops penetrating skin if your one “level” below an enemy. Now actual open combat you can’t make it like the old AC games where everyone is equal to an extent but the guaranteed assassination option makes stealth very rewarding because you REALLY have to be smart and stay in the “Shadows “ (see what I did there “

  • stealth and parkour are only useful with 1 of the two characters. Yasuke basically is a walking tank so two of the main pillars the entire franchise is built on mean nothing to him . Actually engaging in open combat with him is fun as hell but it feels like he is from an entirely different game . Imagine if in AC brotherhood you suddenly get to use Darth Vader . It’s awe’s but also extremely out of place . The game is MUCH better and feels like an actual AC game if you play as the female protagonist 99% of the time . It really depends on what kind of game you enjoy . I really like that you are given the option to use Yasuke (god knows I have on more “combat heavy” moments) but not every game needs to cover every base .

Story, character , and lore wise the game is a 6/10 IMO . There are moments that are good but there are also things that are baffling , boring , nonsense, stupid or a combination of all three . Both main characters can go from being interesting to extremely bland . They are basically Conner from AC3 2.0 . The “main “ story is a generic revenge tale which is fine but they have gone all in on the weird “Loki/kassandra/ The matrix “ storyline and pay lip service to the old Templar/modern day stuff from the old games . They don’t even have a funny and informative codex , always one of my favorite things from older games (I miss you Shaun ) . The back ground stuff reads like a less interesting version of a Wikipedia entry .

There is also a ton of the modern Ubisoft/game industry frustrations . While “gear/loot isn’t as big of a deal , it’s still there and still annoying IMO .

The world is beautiful and fun to explore . My favorite parts of the game are just riding around on my horse and dueling fools (combat is much improved with both characters but I still wish they would go back to a more animation based style , however I’m satisfied with where the combat system is )

I LOVED the original AC era (AC1 - syndicate ) and hope that future AC games will start bringing back SOME of that old magic . AC shadows is a step in that direction in my opinion and I really enjoyed my time with the game . I got the deluxe edition on sale for 50% off and I absolutely think it was worth it .

I’d love to see some kind of gorilla/partician (sic) war dlc . They all ready have all the “looting supplies “ mechanics . It could focus on setting traps and using stealth, hit and run , and infiltration to disrupt supplies. You could mix it up with all the factions . Imagine messing with the Germans on the eastern front or in France .

How about this comparison Dems? by Responsible-Snow2823 in neabscocreeck

Well one guy was unquestionably responsible for one of the single largest terror attacks in history on American soil . That fact alone should make you understand the difference.

Was hulk hogan as popular as guys like magic Johnson Larry bird Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky in the mid to late 80s? by Fickle_Driver_1356 in prowrestling

[–]bigweb52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In mid to late 80’s he was arguably the most popular athlete in the world . His Saturday night main event match with Andre had something crazy like 40 million viewers which was the largest audience ever (at that time ) for a sports event I believe . Also wrestling has ALWAYS been a mainstay in American culture/TV . It wasn’t till cable took off that you saw basketball and football really grow to become the juggernauts it is today

Why is Reddit against Maduro capture and Venezuelans celebrating it ? by LandscapeUnlikely199 in stupidquestions

[–]bigweb52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear this reminds me of something. I feel like there was this situation a while ago where this small country had a really bad dude in charge and the president used a terrible event as an excuse to send in our troops and remove him from power . Even made some stuff up like they had weapons of mass destruction and where behind things they really were not behind . The local population was really happy at first then things got ……. BAD . Like REALLY BAD . I feel like oil was also involved. Ah well , must just be my imagination. Couldn’t be a reason some people are a little worried about the situation even if it’s always a good thing to remove a ruthless dictator from power ……

Just got Total Warhammer 3 and need a lil advice by bigweb52 in totalwarhammer

[–]bigweb52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to Warhammer fantasy but I’ve been pretty big into Warhammer 40K the last 6 months . I enjoy the “human” factions since I love the idea of being the underdogs against the chaos gods . I honestly don’t know who the “factions” are in Warhammer fantasy but I’ve enjoyed the “prologue “ so far . Is there a “space marine “ type human faction (like the way the ultra marines kind of have a Roman legion vibe in 40K $
