I'm not sure if you've played the game, but there's very little difference between photo mode and game - it just pauses time.

Not bad actually. It seems to have problems in major towns and sprinting on a horse in town, seems to get real stuttery. And cutscenes for some reason have framerate problems. They go from 30, 25 and even 18 fps.
Other then that though it looks great. Draw distance is huge, and they use some nice AA methods to get rid of jaggies. And I haven't had one crash or bug yet. Been playing for about 10 hours.

Thanks!
I havent been this addicted to a game in a long time. I have a few photos of my travels.
You can find pictures you have taken using Ubisofts photo mode site.

So i'm not that far in the game and then I finally get the
I just want to know something and this is like a wtf for me.
hidden blade
I just want to know something and this is like a wtf for me.
In assassin's creed 1 altair is already an assassin. In the first game he has one of his fingers removed to have the hidden blade move freely without hurting himself in the process.
In Assassins creed 2 leonardo da vinci is like ya your ancestor had to have one of their digits removed in order to use the hidden blade but I fixed it so you don't need to.
Orgins is supposed to take place before 1 but i'm wondering how come Bayek doesn't have to a removed a finger but altair does? Is it because of the sect that Altair is in that being in his brotherhood of assassins that removing the finger shows commitment to the assassins?

Go a bit further in the game and you will get an answer

I want this game , but not at full price... 60 , is too much for it...
This is why during E3 I tend to preorder a bunch of games while they have a 20% off sale and then slowly cancel the ones I don't want (near) day one.

Only into the second area but impressed by the quest variety so far, hopefully stays that way.
Do you get enough skills points to max the skill trees by the end?

Leave the area, regain health and start again.
If there's any medicine to heal, I would also like to know about it. It could come in handy.
I'm so completely uninterested in any story elements in this game. And this is coming from a guy who happily watches 2 hour cutscenes in Metal Gear. I'm finding it way more fun to just grind for materials than to do any of the missions. Feels like I'm constantly forgetting what the hell I'm supposed to be doing in the game. Go to alexandria, but on the way, every person in the city wants you to do 50 things for them. Guess I'll go do those....wait, why was I going to Alexandria again? Eh I don't care. Ooo, a crocodile, let's kill that.

There isn't any medicine, you have to rely on auto-healing.

Wow man. I had completely forgotten about these details from AC 1 and 2. It's nice knowledge to have after seeing what happens a bit later.

How's performance on PC? All this DRM talk makes it sound like it runs terribly.
Specs: 6700k, on a gtx1080. Playing at 3440x1440.

Really liking this one. Love the environment and the combat is great for an AC game. I also like the time period in Egypt this is set in (39 BC) during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, right before the rise of the Roman Empire. Its set pretty far into the past (around 2000 years) but not too far as to keep Ancient Egypt still a mystery. Just started it yesterday. I feel this is my favourite AC game.

I popped it in the Xbox One to preload it to an external drive. Will leave that drive attached to the Xbox One with 4K option backup selected so it will be as ready as possible for Xbox One X launch, hoping for the 4K and HDR patch to go live before launch to be ready with that too.
1080ti at that resolution maxed out averages above 60+ with drops to about 55 in very heavily populated areas and demanding scenes. So id say youd prob be under 60 on average with rare drops to the mid 40's if you are looking to run it maxed. I wouldnt rly say it runs terribly though. It looks very good.
I thought Eagle Eyes was pretty funny, apparently it didn't meet the edge or irony requirement
I had this shipped out from Gamefly last Thursday. Stuff never takes more than 2 business days to get to me but now it's been 5 mailing days. I was excited to play this with no commitments, given how I was kind of burned by past AC games recently.
Is this really good enough for my impatient ass to buy?
Is this really good enough for my impatient ass to buy?
might as well just wait and try it. if you like it cant you just buy it from gamefly at a discounted price?
I can. But I was really in the mood to play it the last couple of days... I was being impatient. But I found it on Redbox. One night for 3 bucks and if I like it I'll PSN it.
Rented this on redbox. A day later, picked up the digital version. It's a ton of fun. Diversity of weapons, interesting gadgets. Auto-horse. Eagle drone works fantastic and you can use it as little or as much as you want for a challenge. Maybe it's just my build, but I'm less of an assassin, and more of a slow lumbering bludgeoning butcher with my legendary mace.
Characters are all real interesting. No original egyptian language or whatever the appropriate langauge would be way back when is a little disappointing. No codex also.
Setting can't be beat.

This is not a fun game.
Combat is bland and unitative, your making an AC game, don't steal Dark souls controls.
Enemies are either a joke or impossible
Everything is brown or gold or green.
Story is a mess, I just don't care about any character.
Controls suck, same button the stupid bird as well as a search mode ?
Travel is long and boring.
The map is cluttered with other idiots screenshots, who thought this was a good idea?
Quest don't tell you the level until after you accept them.
Characters are stupid......have you got to princess Kara yet?
Level grinding just to move the story forward? Do they know what franchise this is?
Fighting on horse back is very sloppy
It's not bad just not fun. Play something else while you wait for this to $25 after Christmas.
This comes from someone who plated the last 3 ac games, (not counting unity)

Your opinion on the game is the exception, not the norm.
Also, this game is way too good to have an initial OT post as brief as it is. MY opinion.

someone tell me it gets better,
I am only at Alexandria and as evidenced by my previous post getting pretty frustrated.
I die a lot, sure i am getting old but i can still beat Dark souls games and am only playing this on normal.
The stealth seems....non existent.
I want to like this game,just struggling to find my way.

It's definitely a harder game than any of the previous AC games.
The guards can spot you very easily and the combat can be difficult when pitted against several enemies at once, mainly due to the controls and bad targeting system in my case.
I recommend just dropping the difficulty to easy if you are still struggling after getting better weapons and more skill points.

Why don't you just stop playing and do something else then? Jeez man, stop bitching around if you don't like it.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Kinda having the same experience. I'm gonna try lowering the difficulty to "Easy" even though I don't really want to. I've really enjoyed nearly every game in the series (Syndicate was my favorite) but this one just isn't clicking with me.
If easy doesn't do it for me I'm probably just gonna give up on it and be a bit more cautious of the series going forward.
I think I am liking what I have seen so far in about 30 minutes of play. But man, in that same period of time I feel like I have encountered at least 3 bugs/glitches. One (minor) is very out of sync dialog with animation. Another (minor) is how it told me to leap of faith about 10 min after I did it, while I was flying Senu. The last (major) is I walked nearby a statue of Ptolemy and it said to destroy it and instantly my dude is frozen. I can control Senu but I cannot move a muscle or do any other action.
Quitting to see if that will help.
Oh and also not fond of a 10 second loading screen whenever I leave Eagle Flight.

25 hours and still haven't moved the story much. lol
I better get on that. So many side quests, and still even have a few regions I've never even visited yet.
And holy shit at Memphis.
