Not buying it day 1, but will get to it after Wolfenstein 2 and Horizon dlc. Hoping to finish it before Xenoblade Chronicles 2 releases.
First AC game I've been excited for in many years.
Much obliged. Looks interesting.
So, genuine question-what is truly different this time around? I have watched some vids and other than the RPG-lite stuff, that is now required for every Ubi game, I haven't seen the hook for this AC game.
Hype is on hold until I see why this installment is worth picking up, and sufficiently original.
It's a good thing that they made a video specifically addressing this hot take.Adding loot drops to the stale AC formula doesn't seem especially interesting. As with the crafting in previous titles, you know that the game is probably going to be tuned so that you can beat it with minimal attention to that stuff.
They've said this is the template going forward.
GAF doesn't have a very large AC fanbase. Just wanna explore this world.
And just the QoL features made to the gameplay make it incredibly exciting for me let alone the overhauls.

Quality of life. Such as finally being able to use projectiles from the haystack:Qol?
Based on all the demos so far and presumably like other RPGs, the best loot hands down seems to come from tombs, crafting, and high level enemies. So you definitely don't wanna sleep on those. Pretty sure upgrading the hidden blade is straight up mandatory for a viable stealth build.I didn't say that you'd be able to beat Lvl 38-40 endgame content with Lvl 1 gear, just that the game will more than likely allow for minimal engagement (just equip whatever drops as you progress). The scenario they intro the video with is ridiculously unlikely.
The sprawling talent chart in that video was a bit of a "Nope" moment for me.
