Checking in. Pre-order due to be picked up by me first thing in the morning.

EB near me are doing a midnight launch but new week and a half old bub. Don't think so this time haha

Seriously hyped though. Can't wait. I was one of the annoying "please do Egypt next" people so this is just to good.

 

[shimon]

Reviews dropping tomorrow then?

3h.

 

[sadaiyappan]

Can't wait to read reviews. I might buy this.

 

[Jacob4815]

The four options are - "show all", "light", "minimal" and "all off". I'm going to see which does what between light and minimal. Below is what I was hoping to have on and off.

OFF
1. The white glare that goes around the rims of the screen. I have hated this shit since the beginning and get so turned off when watching videos so I can imagine how it will be when im playing.
2. The detection meter completely.
3. The compass.
4. All the notification text that appears in the middle of the screen such as "press UP to call Senu"...I literally saw this message stay on screen in a centerstrain video for 15 seconds while he was still traversing and I only think it went off because he called for Senu.
5. The numbers that appear when you hit an enemy ala Division.
6. The big icons that appear in the game world that's not a waypoint. Like seeing the "?" or whatnot while exploring but yet, it's 800M away. The previous AC games also had this and I was always able to turn it off.
7. The info box that appears on the right side of the screen once you acquire a skill, etc.
8. Any other info that appears in the middle of the screen during combat, etc.

ON
1. Health bar (even though I don't like that it's just a straight bar and in the bottom middle of the screen).
2. XP/Level Bar/Icon on the top right corner.
3. Current Objectives in the top left corner.
4. The loot info that appears on the right side of the screen in a little box. Coins, skins, etc.

Also wish you could turn off when you're low on health and the screen starts desynchronizing becoming all warped and whatnot. Never liked this. Oh well, hoping light or minimal actually does what im hoping but im not holding my breath.

And now, it's an instant no buy for me. It's a shame.
I hate the AC HUD with all my heart, and I can't accept the lack of customizable options.
I didn't expect a Horizon Zero Dawn level of customization, but at least like the previous AC?

"All off" is obviously not the way to play, too drastic.
I would like to know how the "light" and "minimal" options are, but at this point I'm not holding my breath.. me too.

 

[Painkiller Q8]

Here's a few shots by me, what do you guys think?

 

[Genio88]

Sick of Ubisoft overwelming filled with sub quests and icons open world games, so my hype level is 0, i used to like AC and i played all of them until Unity, but now i'm out.
Also there are so many other better games coming in the same time that it's not worth it for me

 

[Genio88]

Here's a few shots by me, what do you guys think?

Nothing special but this screen in particular looks pretty bad, the character model looks like Xbox 360 with higher resolution

 

[-Deadpool-]

Here's a few shots by me, what do you guys think?

Looks awesome. Can't wait.

 

[sertopico]

Just preordered and downloaded. Can't wait for tomorrow after watching the released footage, I was pretty skeptical at first but it looks like a pretty solid game. I hope it fulfils my expectations.

This post feels abit from when the game was announced and we didnt know anything yet.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

It was said by media that the side quests are actually worth it now and meaningful. Really hope that's still the case. I'm sure at least ACG will tell us.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Is anyone filling in for OT duties on this?

 

[Pilgrimm]

Never managed to play an assassin's Creed for more than a few hours without losing interest. I'll give this one a try and see if it's better.

Sure hope as I'm paying full price for it...

 

[dragonyeuw]

The Egypt backdrop interests me, so I'll grab it when the discovery mode comes out and the price has dropped.

 

[kipsta]

I always enjoyed the modern day story in AC games, I hope there's still a fair bit of it in there.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Egyptian Architecture sure is fascinating...

 

[Klocker]

Pre-ordered digitally will be playing tonight at 9 p.m. my time.

looking forward to when it is updated for the X in 10 days haha should be awesome. I might only play it for an hour or two and then shelve it until the X releases.

 

[Darklor01]

Egyptian Architecture sure is fascinating...

PC and broken?

 

[sertopico]

Probably the game was still loading the distant models? Something I also noticed is related to the palm trees, from a not too far distance they look like simple 2d sprites.

Why would you pay full price when you've never really enjoyed an AC game before? What's the rush?

 

[ajanke]

I really hope this gets good reviews. I want to get into another one of these and I love the setting here. Love the setting in Black Flag as well.

 

[legbone]

OK, my copy is on its way from Amazon. I'm now officially getting hyped. I only have three questions, and forgive me if they have already been answered.



1. Can I make my bird shit on people?

2. Can I make my camel spit on people?

3. Can I tame a motha-fokken lion!?

 

[jshackles]

Good news: Best Buy finally shipped my copy
Bad news: Won't be here until Saturday

 

[Pilgrimm]

I guess hype.

Wow. That looks incredible.

 

[snickothemule]

[Johannsson]

Highly anticipating it. I can’t wait to explore those pyramids and hunt hippos.

 

[levitan]

Here's a few shots by me, what do you guys think?

I like them. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to play this after work!

 

[Unity2012]

Is it 9pm already?

How bout now? 😁 I am so ready.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Egyptian Architecture sure is fascinating...

I like tofu or a slightly burned marshmellow.

I'm getting my copy tomorrow. I just hope there isn't some long wait to install it.

 

[Starfield]

Deadline has been reached on Steam. why is it still not out there?????

 

[Inceptional]

Good news: Best Buy finally shipped my copy

Damn. Not to rub it in but I'm picking mine up from BB after work tomorrow. I went from 0-100 on the hype-omiter for this within the last week and am friggin jacked to play this all Friday night. Might end up being the best AC since Brotherhood, and that would make my fuckin year.

 

[Davide]

I used to play these games faster than anything else, I couldn't beat Syndicate in two years.

Getting this first thing tomorrow though.

 

[Hexer06]

Was wondering this as well. I heard the person who was gonna do it is gone now :/.

Haha I think this is exactly what I'm gonna do. I have a feeling it's gonna be hard to resist playing more til the X comes tho. Lol

 

[rocketskates]

Hope it's as good as Black Flags was for the franchise

 

[Starfield]

ready to launch in approximately 2 hours....WTF is that shit??

 

[rolandss]

Interested not hyped. Haven't played an AC game since black flag.

 

[PulseONE]

And mine is downloading, 6 hours for 50gb ain't bad but I still feel impatient

It must be so cool to live somewhere where you guys can get a physical copy on launch day D:

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Regarding the merchant called Nomad's Bazaar that gives you a quest every day, is this an online only feature of the game or is it in-game based on the night/day cycle?

 

[Bydobob]

Never managed to play an assassin's Creed for more than a few hours without losing interest. I'll give this one a try and see if it's better.

Sure hope as I'm paying full price for it...

You and me both. I’ve never even particularly liked Ass Creed, but just the idea of wandering around such gorgeous locales was enough to trigger a purchase. Such shallowness.

 

[Klocker]

WHat? No HDR on x1s?


Shit, come on ubi

 

[Seyfert]

WHat? No HDR on x1s?


Shit, come on ubi

HDR is coming on all platform early November.

Ubi is planning on patching in HDR in a couple weeks.

Cool thx

More reason to play less until x launch.

Edit... Lighting is still pretty damned good without it actually

 

[WaterAstro]

Well, it feels like the standard AC faire, but at least it'll have a lot of stuff to do...?

 

[Soulblighter31]

Its not the standard AC fare

 

[WaterAstro]

Its not the standard AC fare

Well, if it's not another Ubi-collectathon, then I'll like it, but I think it is. I'll figure it out when I play it.

 

[IndustryX]

I'd buy it for setting if it was $10. Other than that its AC, and AC is trash.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Amazingly, there's no collectables.

 

[-Deadpool-]

Put a whole heap of time into this today. And wow. Definitely exceeded my expectations so far. World is beautiful. So much to do. Only just made it to Alexandria and I can easily see this is going to be one of those 100+ hour games for me.

Loving it!
