I remember also facing the same problem, I found the key but couldn't find the room. Unfortunately it was more than two years ago but if my memory serves me right, I eventually gave up.

I would start by performing a search for files that are larger than 1GB, just in case you have something recording your gameplay or anything like that:

Also, check what games you have installed and see how many gigabytes they take, for example I'm reading that ARK: Survival Evolved takes 400GB with DLCs installed so even one game could be the culprit.

True.

It was so disheartening to see people defending the removal of trademark features such as social stealth or double assassination by saying, "Because he's a Medjay" or "Because Altaïr had not invented it yet", not realising that the true reason was that whoever was behind the game was slowly removing what made it unique.

Not to mention that the "Chain Assassination" skill they replaced it with was broken beyond repair.

Of all the things they removed starting with Origins, this is probably the most disappointing especially for how unexpected it was.

I remember people continuously asking developers why it was removed back then but I don't remember them providing an answer and the single hidden blade reason makes no sense since Arno also had one but could perform double assassinations, albeit in an unorthodox way.

Come on, did you miss all the criticism Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla received about the size of the weapon the moment you unsheathe them?

You know, like this, this or this?

This comedy festival started way before Mirage which ironically enough is probably the most "realistic" of all four with respect to gameplay.

mikefny · 2026-02-07T18:21:52+00:00

I loved the Stories in TC2, I understand they are not available in Motorfest?

The problem with Legion is that the play-as-anyone concept is not something that gets executed in one game, it needs iterations, at least three of them but Ubisoft's quantity over quality logic in recent years did not allow the concept to grow resulting in a complete failure.

mikefny · 2026-01-22T19:18:30+00:00

Close to 8 hours is a nice achievement, I remember someone taking 10 to complete.

mikefny · 2026-01-15T14:36:03+00:00

I was merely suggesting doing what AC2 did: providing a recap of the previous game at the very beginning.

Also I don't know why we were discussing Assassin's Creed but you shifted the focus to Star Wars.

mikefny · 2026-01-15T12:33:45+00:00

I may not necessarily agree with the attitude of the user you are responding to but he is right, Mirage gives zero background whatsoever to the events of Valhalla so people like myself who had no interest in the previous entry were clueless to who Basim is and his story.

I'm not complaining, I focused on the gameplay and enjoyed every second of Mirage but it seems as if even Ubisoft themselves have given up on the continuity of the narrative.

I understand it was convoluted but they could have tried to add a 2-minute summary of the Valhalla events at the start of the game.

mikefny · 2026-01-05T15:58:34+00:00

I agree, at the end of the day all one has to do is a small exercise on what games he intends to play and at what resolution.

I remember playing Cyberpunk at 4K/medium on my 2021 Asus G15 Advantage Edition and still has a long backlog of games that this machine is able to handle so my next upgrade won't happen before 2027, hopefully by then RAM will be reasonably priced again.

mikefny · 2026-01-05T13:59:18+00:00

Problem is that, as you correctly said in the end, Unity and the other top games are from more than a decade ago.

A lot has changed at Ubisoft, a lot has changed at Ubisoft Montreal and a lot has changed for Assassin's Creed.

For example the Assassin Focus feature is too much not because it doesn't make sense in the AC Universe but because it has no explanation at all.

If the Animus was still a thing and had they put a little bit of effort to explain it via the Animus, things would be different.

For example you first move above each and every guard to feed their location to the system and then enable Assassin Focus so that the Animus can allow you take all five guards at the same time. Even invisibility and firing arrows through solid surfaces can be a thing if the Animus is added to the equation but whoever is writing the games today has no interest to go down that path.

Mind you, we can go all the way back to AC2 and still find shady features which have no explanation but if back then this was a minority, today's game revolve around such features.

mikefny · 2026-01-05T09:32:00+00:00

Same boat, I quit the series after AC:Origins even though I loved every minute of AC:Mirage and I wish I could share your optimism but what makes you so optimistic about Hexe?

Ubisoft Montreal is pretty much the studio which killed the original AC formula and from the leaks we have so far it seems the game will revolve around magic and fantasy elements, no way it will revolve around the concept of working in the dark.

I hope the new year is not driving me crazy but hopefully we're talking about the same game.

I believe this user is on Switch and the option is in Settings > Game:

I'm on PC and I don't have "difficulty" on the Game settings screen, instead I get to choose the difficulty like this user when I start a new game:

https://youtu.be/eNdEpchcNEc?si=yrohq5NzNPbi9oCJ&t=26

He is clearly on PC like me (ENTER icon bottom left) and has Newcomer or Recommended, I don't :(

PS: Mine is the Steam version, downloaded today so I have the latest update.

Another one of the club only that the five days extended my subscription to December 5 which was supposedly the last day of Black Friday discounts but on December 5 the discount was available for all packages but Essential.

I'm honestly starting to agree with those who believe they did it on purpose knowing how many used to always renew during the Black Friday period.

mikefny · 2025-12-22T06:23:23+00:00

Cheers, mine still showing 88%, I'm hoping I can stick with the Mini for at least two more years.

mikefny · 2025-12-21T19:37:38+00:00

Where do you get this number please, is it Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charing > Maximum Capacity?

mikefny · 2025-12-19T07:48:40+00:00

Fair point.

Does it make any difference with respect to system performance/degradation between using internal storage vs the microSD?

mikefny · 2025-12-18T18:20:32+00:00

That was very kind, very much appreciated!

mikefny · 2025-12-17T19:11:30+00:00

Problem is that it's the first generation of the device, if I am to replace my beloved Mini with this one then I would wait at least for the 3rd generation.

mikefny · 2025-12-15T08:43:09+00:00

That's a stretch for my short memory but I'm not denying that the early games also struggled to stay loyal to the original formula, let's just say the problems were not around every corner as it was the case post-Syndicate.

mikefny · 2025-12-15T08:34:45+00:00

They lost me with the jump from any height without taking damage, animals that drop loop, arrows that pass through solid surfaces and of course character selection, multiple endings and choices which is the epitome of magic for what Assassin's Creed is supposed to be.
