To me this is a clear sign that people like this YouTuber that lives with cockroaches in the room and many of the so called influencers in social media, are just grifters. What a coincidence that no one had any issue a few years ago when Oddysey or Valhalla had Gay or Bi romance but now is a problem and a insult to the player of all a sudden. Why going from one extreme to another? Homosexuality and Bisexuality exist since humans were on earth and having more options is always welcomed. The problem is when they preach their message trying to lecture the player like Dragon Age Veilguard, but if developers introduce these types of things with sensitivity and good faith, I dont see a single reason to be angry or calling out the company.

That being said, is it true that Ubisoft has shown in the past to be woke so it's good that they're being called out when they messed up. But I honestly dont see anything wrong with this particular situation, its just a choice

I think it's like you said, the games like Veilguard who try to ram this shit down your throat, have caused people to be on guard about the issue. I remember playing Mass Effect which had these options and it was literally nothing....not even something that was discussed. You were either that way inclined, or you ignored it completely. In 2025 I dont think many people have the ability to do that anymore lol

The problem is these grifters are intentionally misrepresenting this. They’re not saying it’s optional. They’re not saying you need to manually activate it. They’re leading their lemming along to think the game is forcing it on people.

My issue is that many new games adds gay romance while decreasing straight romance options. In that case you don't have romance options - you can either go after straight romance option you have or not..

Still early hunting the second boss from the list. Loving my time with it, playing on "balanced" it looks just so damn good at times. Most of the time actually. I stand by the claim it's the best AC ever, but I am biased as I love the setting and ninja vibes. I will admit combat fun but is a mixed bag. I like how chaotic it sometimes gets when you're surrounded and start combing between different enemies, but it does jank out hard when you start mixing in maneuvers on different elevations and such, it's fun but far from SIE tier system polish. Tons of cool mechanics in stealth and as much as I do my best to stay hidden, on hard you get spotted on rooftops and it's much easier just to kill everyone, especially since instakill assassinations come much later in the skill tree. Parry and evade windows are super lenient, I just cleared Osaka castle running around knifing everyone with the tanto on hard, I did die twice but that's with Naoe, Yasuke is apparently 10x stronger. But I'm enjoying the carnage and can't wait to jump over to playing the big guy.

I would refund and get it in Ubisoft Connect. I haven't had a single crash so far. Have you installed the latest drivers btw? I assume you are playing with your new graphics card

Latest nvidia drivers are fucked for 5000 gpus. My card was only running at 780mhz speed in this game so i reverted to an older one. That crash was probably just an anomaly

stealth is absolutely no joke hard on expert with naoe, well at least it is at the start, no doubt it will get easier as you unlock more skills, but I went to a fort north of your starting area and even though enemies are around my level, they pretty much two hit kill, so if you get spotted, best option is to just run if there's more then two guys coming for you especially if they have armour or are samurai, since smoke bombs don't work on samurai.

Depends on what you prioritize. If exploration and finding cool stuff is your main attraction, it's much less interesting here than in the other games. In Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, when you get on a perch and look over the landscape you can literally go to any point on that map. In Shadows, 80% of the map, at least in the first 8-10 hours or so, are narrow pathways and unclimbable mountains. And that's not including the constant linear story missions that have zero exploration or anything interesting to find. I loved going anywhere and climbing everything in previous games, I spent many hours just going off in a random direction and getting into stuff, so it's a disappointment in this game for sure.
This doesn't sound...good.

Maybe the world just open up later?

It opens up in the first quest. Lots of FUD being spread for reasons. I’m along he coast right now and it’s wide open.

Yes but there are things you cannot climb, like some walls that have no edges, but any other assassin from previous rpg games could grab them, and the mountains are so thick with forest there is A. nothing there and B you cant see shit.

Just completed the prologue. Really digging it so far. I need to use framegen here, because i had around 60 fps maxed out with dlss4, but now im over 100. Looks and feels amazing
Does it come with dlss 4 included or nvidia still expect me to use the app to do that shit?

Nobunaga said that he held a “fragrance as lovely as an orchid”.(1) It almost sounds like Ranmaru was a woman, no?

Well, no, he was not…however, it is highly possible, and believed by many historians, that Oda Nobunaga and Mori Ranmaru had a homosexual relationship.
In nanshoku literature of the Edo period, it was commonly depicted that Oda and Mori had a sexual relationship that was commonly found in those times.[2]
Literally why ranmaru is pretty much always depicted as highly feminine in many japanese pop culture works.

game should benefit a little bit from an nvme but not as much as outlaws did; I saw a max of 542MB/s read on load, but it in-game itself it doesn't seem to go higher than peaks of ~250MB/s,

Why do developers persist on making games which look good then throw loads of friction into them?

The game is certainly a looker, and those weather effects dayummm. Ubi really don't get enough credit for their artists.

However, we're back to Haytham in the snow in ACIII, pict ambushes from Valhalla. It's like they deliberately sabotage themselves by recycling the worst elements from prior games.

I only done one temple, and it's much tougher, although I don't know if I should be doing them before the first story missions.

Just pay a month of ubipass on pc, you ragamuffin.

It can't be worse than willingly pay full price for callisto protocock :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I don't have a PC you dufus. Console peasantry for life.

I wanna see what it looks like on the Pro and I wanna see these weather effects and environments in person, not through YT vids!

Are you able to switch around the controls like in the previous Creed RPGs? I always go with this - I can't play these games with shoulder buttons for attacks. This aint Souls.

Had a weird bug in the first hour of the game where a cut scene plays and as such is 30fps. Then I got out of the cut scene and it was still 30fps. It took a while of walking away from that point for the game to convert back to 60fps.

Game definitely has a fair amount of pop in, and initially doesn’t seem as impressive visually to the eye as AC Mirage did on base ps5. I’m on pro with shadows on performance.

Hate you have to restart the game to change fidelity modes.

If i could give a direct comparison on visuals it looks like Rise of the Ronin for better or worse. That game and this aren’t impressive on console. I assume pc 4090 gang is having a blast to look at it.

That said the gameplay so far felt very good and responsive for combat and stealth. Love the prone and the grappling hook so far. I’m playing on normal and feel initially the combat challenge is just right. A few hits and you can die as it should be.

Story set up so far was strong too.

Now you got me confused, because you're saying graphically one the best Pro enhanced titles is comparable to a game that is pretty raw and outdated in terms of graphics.

Haven't played neither, but I've seen footage of both and I don't see how they are even comparable.

May be performance mode on my tv.

It didn’t look different to me than what ronin is putting out.

Only noticeable thing was some dirt ground textures having more depth.

Even ghost of Tsushima looks better.

I’m going to try balanced and quality later to see how those stack up.

This seems like a visual powerhouse for pc players on the correct rigs though.

Troll post.
Oh fuck off bro. I’ve been hyped and optimistic for the game since launch online 90% of the posters here.

May be just the initial areas so far. I’ll post more later after trying other visual modes.

I don't see it that way. It's usually not a gay character. It's usually bisexual.
If the character has the option to romance a same sex character as them, they are bisexual. If they have no option to romance anyone other than their own sex, that would make them gay. But it's always 'optional' which means they're bisexual.

Big AC fan and loathed the bloat of Valhalla but loved Odyssey. Wasn’t gonna get this but said fuck it as I had a 25$ gift card and got on Series X. Let’s see if this is a return to form after the banger that was Odyssey and Origns

That's silly the devs have been wanting to make a female solo mainline AC for a long time now, but ubi exec have straight up said women don't sell, it's why jacob exists, it's why alexios exists, and why male eivor is an option; evie is the assassin, kassandra is the canon choice over alexios, and eivor is female.
