i dont really care that much about any of that. I played 100 hrs of odyssey and 150 hrs of valhalla. enough time to personally believe that combat in ac shadows is more grounded and more enjoyable, to me
Seeing the same scripted animation over and over with zero dynamism or care for kinetic force is a plus for you?
yup let's agree to disagree
But you can go prone on rooftops, the bushes and the grass, just go prone and snake around. The stealth on expert is still pretty damn easy, but satisfying.
I dont think so. Ive not had any real issues like that. They see you if your in their line of sight
When you are on the same sight level it's more rare but when i'm on the roofs it feels random when they see you or not, i guess it's to simulate the fact that people don't walk all the time while looking up but it doesn't feel consistent, like i have no idea when i'm safe or not because they can randomly look up or not.
Yes and sometimes they will still see you, while sometimes they won't. Bit iffy or I still haven't figured it out.
on my way to the second target
37 hours
37% of the trophies
Still in Act 1
Lol, haters really finding every little possible thing to nitpick. It's even funnier when it actually looks great.
Who fuckin' cares...? There's only so much they can squeeze into 12GB memory budget on consoles and if it means that I have to lose some stupid ragdoll shit and get much more realistic season change, weather system, one of the best visual experiences this gen with very realistic hair and physics on all characters and not just MCs. - bring it on! They did removed a lot from past games, but all added a lot of new and cool stuff which in my eyes is more than a good trade off.
Who fuckin' cares... again? Go complain in the fighting game threads that you get the same anymations everytime you win, everytime you activate super moves, ultimates etc.
I care and that is my opinion, stop being a crybaby because someone has different opinions than you, this an OT, not a circle jerk.
Who's crying?
It doesn't even matter which genre or a game it is, don't you understand what you're complaining about? The things you're talking about can be in any game that involves fighting if devs decided to do it, or they might not for one reason or another. Here the reason being memory budget and cuts for the sake of other and new features to the series that were added instead. If you don't like it, fine, but nitpicking won't make your arguments valid and the game worse, cuz you failed to see the bigger picture and the reason as to why something was cut, it doesn't mean that someone should like it, but it's not a reason to nitpick just to make the game's combat (which is the best in the series, sue me) worse than it actually is.
Oh, believe me when I say that I have my fair share of justified criticism, I'm saving it for the bigger opinion piece, so you won't see me here shitting on the game and nitpicking everything just to please haters and shitposters. If someone will bring up something about the game that I feel like I should say something and join the conversation, I will, be it something I like about it or don't and I already did that btw. I'll put it to you this way, people will be surprised to see what I have to say cuz I don't see anyone saying anything about what I found was bad, not so great and so on, but I won't be saying anything for unjust reasons, that's not the way I do things.
Save the condescending tone for someone else, your critics are not more legit than mine just because you say so, what you think is a flaw is also a result of devs doing their math so don't act like mine are nitpicks and yours are the real flaws, also ragdoll is just one flaw, i don't wanna post every negative thing i find in the game to not sound too negative, but if i read a post praising the ragdoll, i'm gonna challenge that post, if we can't challenge other people opinion why do you even are inside a forum?Who's crying?
I can clearly see when someone making legit complaints and arguments about the game, as well as when someone is doing it just to shit on it and nitpick while completely ignoring reasons for cuts - I'm sorry, but that's you.

Oh, believe me when I say that I have my fair share of justified criticism, I'm saving it for the bigger opinion piece. It's not a perfect game, no game is, but nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking can fuck right off. I've played Origins, finished it, missing absolutely nothing from it and especially the way combat worked cuz it was boring, bad and I couldn't care less about how enemies died and what they did after. Man, you're talkin' about something so inconsequential like this and making a big fuss about it, while so many people in the thread don't care and are enjoying the game and its combat... should't this tell you something?
Again, if you don't like it, we got it, more power to you, plenty of other games to play instead.
Waiting for my OLED to be delivered. Gotta break it in...
Just a friendly exchange.What is going here papis
It depends on the angle, it's more of a "natural" line of sight thing, so they won't spot you if you're outside of the angle, as for distance, that depends on how exposed you are.
To be fair youāre an āassassinā in every AC game but itās never that compelling compared to a Splinter Cell, Tenchu, or MGS in terms of stealth/ninja/like mechanics.
its true, this game is incredibly immersive as a ninja simulator
There are definitely āhatersā but there are also those of us who used to like the franchise but are tired of the Ubisoft formula with its small iterations and lackluster stealth.
Why should I even challenge anyone here, for what reason and what good does it for me and to my mental health? And I'm not saying that someone's criticism is better than mine, it's just a matter of being fair with how you critique the game and bringing up points that really matter cuz it could've made the game better, so when I see someone complaining about so inconsequential as ragdolls, I'm sorry, but with so many great things the did and added to the game, I just can't see it as even a small issue someone should complain about, which is why I think it's a HUGE problem in the game. It wans't something that was made on purpose to anger people, it was a deliberate choice to make more important aspects of the game better than they ever were in any game in the series before, you may agree with the choice or you don't, but at least have decency to try and understand why it was made, who really is to blame, for what exactly and to then judge said choice and the game fairly. Do you think you can do that?
I get what you're saying here, I really do, but can you also try and see why it's not there and who / what really is to blame? It's not the X360 and PS3 era anymore where Ubi made completely different versions of games for multiple platforms, so can you imagine what it'll turn into now if they'll release wastly better PC version? They had to work with POS 12GB shared memory limitation as well as shit CPUs while PC's could and have x10 time more RAM than that and vastly better CPUs no one could understand who to optimize the game for "party like it's PS3 CPU" style
So they did all that god only knows how and at the same time made one of the best and true next-gen games, so I think it's something that they should be praised for cuz they did one hell of a job considering shit hardware they had to work around for.I really can't see them implementing ragdoll anytime soon if ever, there's far more important things that need improving / fixing, so I would put all the time and effort into that first for the next 6+ months or so. Let's give them a few weeks of well earned rest and then wait for the inevitable roadmap with fixes and updates - they will support this game for years to come and until Hexe will be released for sure, so there'll be lots of fixed and improvements coming our way as well as free expansione for those who pre-ordered.
Shadows has the best combat in all AC games, for Naoe that is, same goes for stealth which was never been better and now more closer to the Splinter Cell. You can agree to disagree. That being said, there's room for improvement and polish which I'm sure will be done.
It's not just the weather system, it's a lot of other things they added and which I mentioned, they even said what they cut and for what reasons blaming 12GB shared memory limitations. The game has a modern dynamic light and shadow system with shadow / light casting objects and RT which is a lot more important for a game they were trying to make as well as make stealth more realistic and believable, which they did. There's some junk there for sure, but nothing that can't be fixed with a patch or major update. Like, I'd take much more realistic stealth over ragdolls any day on the week or month in a year, cuz it's a lot more important for a game they were trying to make and Naoe is really not a killing machine, sure she can fight and look badass while she at it, but it's really not the way you should play as her vast majority if the time, she has plenty of tools and skills to provide more options and ways for you to approach any given situation.
Game actually gives strong splinter cell vibes because of the light system.
Not many stealth games are
I never wanted to fight, you quoted me while i was having an exchange about ragdoll after i quoted a post about ragdollWhy should I even challenge anyone here, for what reason and what good does it for me and to my mental health? And I'm not saying that someone's criticism is better than mine, it's just a matter of being fair with how you critique the game and bringing up points that really matter cuz it could've made the game better, so when I see someone complaining about so inconsequential as ragdolls, I'm sorry, but with so many great things the did and added to the game, I just can't see it as even a small issue someone should complain about, which is why I think it's a HUGE problem in the game.

So, naturally they have to make a choice about what's better for the game and I think they did make the right one considering what they added instead, how much better it is and something no other AC ever had. Do you think I like that I can't see shit during the night and literally begging for a torch? Hell, no, but they made this decision to stop people from burning down houses and stuff and for reasons that Japan may not like. Does it look like a fair compromise? I sure think it is. Can they let you hold on a paper lantern with a candle inside instead and not use it for anything but to light up the path ahead and around you? I sure can see it happening in one of the future patches and major updates. Outlaws clearly showed that they can add stuff to the game, change something for the better after listening to feedback, sadly, I don't think they actually read what we have to say here on GAF so people have to go to reddit for that I guess.
The point is, I don't think the game is in it's final or better shape right now, cuz even all extra time they took and canceled season pass still left the game in a... let's say a bit junky state here and there, so I say let's give them time to gather feedback and make the game better with updates and patches, hell, by the time I'll finish the game, gather my thoughts to write an opinion piece, they might fix if not all but vast majority of things in the game, so there's a chance I might not even have negative things to say about it, or at least vast majority of them might now be a thing anymore. Does it mean that we must not have our fair share of criticism before they do all that? Hell no, but I think we all should try to be fair and distance ourselves from nitpicking things that'll make us look bad and compromise our fair judgment later.
I really can't see them implementing ragdoll anytime soon if ever, there's far more important things that need improving / fixing, so I would put all the time and effort into that first for the next 6+ months or so.

But you need to work your way up and unlock different skill levels to open up more of her combat and stealth kit and there's some really cool stuff there like a skill to destroy a large chunk of enemy's HP bar after deflecting attack, or make a flip move behind him to make him vulnerable etc. So it's not the same thing over and over again, for a time it is after a long while until you unlock more skills, but it depends on the player and how he plays, how he explores the world, what's the priority etc. Moreover, based on the expansion Key Art, we'll get new weapons to play around with in the main game as well and while exploring and experiencing new content so there's also that to look forward to.
Anyway, dude, I'm in my 40s, the last thing I want is to fight with you or anyone else online and on any forums, I'm way passed that stage in my life and I just want to have decent conversations here, free from shitposting, hate, pathetic LOL emojis and stuff. So... well, can we put all this negativity away? I sure as shit don't need it in my life, I still have a fascist dictator to deal with at some point and I want to do that with my mental health and sanity intact
That's what I hear. Never seen one in action before. HYPE
The game looks great, but that screenshot in specific has terrible textures and grass sprites, you think it looks great?
it is actually frustrating
You have to progress a little bit in the story I think, I hit winter last night finally
it changes in steps, and if you're doing those flashbacks it changes back to fit that part of the story
