| Posted: 17 Apr 2021 10:27 PM PDT I LOVE seeing small and almost unnoticeable details in games that's never mentioned by its creators or marketing material and Valhalla is another game that has this. Again, it's a small detail but really cool and immersive. Basically, if you're in a cold/snowy region (take all of Norway for example) and you're not wearing footwear and standing still, Eivor will play a shivering cold idle animation loop! Equipping any footwear will make Eivor return to the normal idle stance. I know, not exactly mind blowing, but the fact a developer bothered to make this small visual change is immersive on a subtle level and that's enough for me to appreciate the game just a little more. Now there's a small difference when playing without certain armour slots equipped and a good reason for it to be a thing! [link] [comments] | ||
| Stun kill animations get old really fast :/ Posted: 17 Apr 2021 10:20 AM PDT Did ubi ever mention tweaking the animations a bit? I'm just so tired of stomping people's head over and over :/ Is great the first couple times but after the first mission it already becomes a chore to keep watching the same animations over and over...

| SPOILERS VALHALLA: Swiping civilians with torches does not lead to desynchronization. Posted: 17 Apr 2021 07:27 PM PDT So I'm playing Valhalla for the first time, and SPOILERS I was pissed Goodwin was like "convert or die" so I'm currently burning everything possible in Wincestre. I discovered that swiping people with torches will kill civilians without counting as the civilian deaths that lead to desynchronization. I apologize if this is old news, but it was just too fun not to share for anyone who gets annoyed at a plot twist and goes full Heathen! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 17 Apr 2021 08:59 AM PDT Are Ubisoft so lazy that they can't program in a simple Ifplayer=known then Guards=dontattackonsight? I should be able to walk freely around Lincoln for example after putting the Ealderman on the throne and defending the city. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 17 Apr 2021 08:59 AM PDT All the main series up to Assassin's Creed 3, it's all getting more and more modern. AC 1 set in 1911, AC 2 in 1476, AC:B in 1500-1507, AC:R in 1511, and finally AC3 in 1753-1783, but then they fucking killed Desmond and go back and forth (Black Flag in 1713-1722, Unity in 1789, Syndicate in 1868, Origins in 49-43 BC, and furthest back is Odyssey in 422 BC, because Valhalla is in 878 AD). At the point of Assassin's Creed III, in the middle of playing it, I was thinking "hey, this might be gonna continue into the modern era, and we'll control Desmond in the end". Heck, I'll take a chronological mess of games as long as there's some kind of conclusion. After AC3, they could've gone to Syndicate, make AC Chronicles: Russia which sets in 1918 a proper main game instead of a spin-off, then maybe a secret theatre of World War II, some unknown secret mission in Cold War, then as unknown entity in Vietnam War, and finally we're gonna be in 2012 playing as Desmond, maybe finally bringing the fight to Abstergo instead of running, maybe preventing the rebirth of Minerva, maybe activating ancient Isu device to prevent the 'Great Catastrophe', or all of the above, bringing the story to a conclusive end... but as we all know that's not happening, Assassin's Creed is a golden goose of moneycow ripe for milking, and those are some fucking delicious milk. And with each subsequent games the franchise still half-assed both sides: won't really commit to becoming a total fantasy by just ditching the animus, and really doesn't do much with the modern era side of things. Don't get me wrong, I love this series, it's what really scratch my itch after the vacuum of Prince of Persia, and I enjoy every single one of them, even though I dislike Odyssey for how stupidly big it is, I actually spend 100's hours in there, Ubisoft found a working formula and I can't blame them for using it over and over again (same with FarCry), I even just "feel" these things after my nth playthrough of AC2 to AC3 (can't replay AC1 for the 3rd time because the game lacks subtitle and boy the controls have changed a lot all these years). In short, replaying the main series (up to AC3) now makes me thought that there's some sort of culmination to the story that will ties everything together, past and present, but nope.

| Posted: 17 Apr 2021 10:53 PM PDT I'm on this side quest where I have to light up some stuff and there is a blind guy following me. I ran too far away from him and lost him, so I cannot complete the quest. Is there a way to restart the quest? Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
| What is up with Ubisoft’s obsession with killing parents off? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 11:11 AM PDT I can't be the only one that noticed almost all the game protagonists have their parents killed. Like I don't understand Ubisoft's obsession with dead parents. It probably doesn't mean much but It's just something I've found strange. [link] [comments] | ||
| Playing ac rogue made me appreciate ac3 much, much more (spoilers for both games) Posted: 17 Apr 2021 08:40 AM PDT I finally finished my first playthrough of ac rogue (I know I'm super late), and it made me think about some scenes in ac3 that now means so much more to me than ever before. The first time I saw Davenport Manor through Shay's eyes, I literally gasp. Seeing so many assassins everywhere, training and hanging out was such a bittersweet feeling knowing how it looked like by ac3 times. Seeing the dilapidated, lonely manor through Connor's eyes hurts a lot more. The Colonial Assassins were really no more. Achilles was nothing like his younger self and I had to actually convince myself that it was him I was looking at in ac rogue. It felt like a completely different person. Achilles's line "In your haste to save the world Connor, take care not to destroy it!" has a whole new meaning now. When I first played ac3, I thought it was just a cute little line ubisoft added cuz it sounded awesome, but now.. damn. When Connor was yelling at him, storming out of the manor, while blaming him for the eradication of the Colonial Assassins, Achilles must have seen Shay in him at that moment. Connor's brashness must have reminded him of Shay's rashness to jump into conclusion that Achilles knew of the causality between precursor temples and earthquakes. Lastly, when Achilles told Connor, "all of them must die, especially your father". I thought, of course, he'd say that about Haytham, he's the Grand Master of the Templar Colonial Rite.. at first I thought he only wanted to emphasize it because he's Connor's dad. But after that scene in North Atlantic, man, I can def see why Achilles really wants Haytham dead. For those who've finished both games, what do you think? (On a lighter note, I get it Shay, you make your own luck, and Connor, even if Shay knows where Charles Lee is, he won't tell you so stop asking.) [link] [comments] | ||
| Ac Valhalla Hair and beard Customization Posted: 17 Apr 2021 10:08 AM PDT Does anyone else feel like the hair and beard customization is a little bland? They keep releasing updates with new customization options yet no new hair and beard styles. NPC's have different hairstyles that you can't use and I find that kind of annoying. I know this is a small issue and doesn't take away from the game, but does anyone know if Ubisoft plans on adding in hairstyles? And am I the only one that feels this way? [link] [comments] | ||
| How to get the tablets for Excalibur’s sword? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 06:28 PM PDT So the tablet in the grimes grave in East Anglia isn't showing up for me, I go down to where the cursed object is and the icon for the key is there but there is no key. Also the door is covered up by rocks. I looked it up and it said I need the Beowulf quest but I don't see the quest anywhere [link] [comments] | ||
| Assassin's Creed 2: secret codes found in glyphs Posted: 17 Apr 2021 01:56 AM PDT In AC2 set of glyphs, we can find, in some of them, various types of codes, (from binary to Morse and more) I did my best to translate them, giving a bit of context with links and everything. I apologize in advance for any grammatical error. Glyph 3 (Pigpen cipher) "The masons brought it across the sea, George Washington passed it on." (The Apple of Eden) Every USA president, from Washington to John F. Kennedy had this Apple "passed" to him. However, JFK was not on board with this, and wanted to tell the truth.

| Has there been any major advancements in stealth since the Ezio Trilogy? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 05:33 AM PDT Hello. I'm a fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise but I've only played AC1. AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations. During my time in university, I had no time for gaming. I have now decided to start gaming again. I believe I have missed about 7 or 8 AC games since then, so I wanna start off with AC3, Black Flag and Unity. Has there been improvements in terms of stealth, or have some things been dumbed down or simplified? Has there been any new mechanics or tools added to stealth or is it much the same as before. PS: I am aware that the later games have taken an RPG route and stealth has been downgraded but they seem fun nonetheless. Do you recommend playing them? [link] [comments] | ||
| It there a way to get access to original audio files? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 09:42 AM PDT I'm looking for "hidden" sountracks like synchronization music, or in-game adventure music. I care about odyssey the most, and I'm thinking about ripping music files from the game. I know guys in RDR2 subreddit did something like that with Rockstar game. Is there a way to do it? How [link] [comments] | ||
| Wouldn’t it be great to choose your preferred loadout before roaming/missions? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 07:48 AM PDT This is just an idea, and I guess I'm not sure if limiting the player would necessarily be the best thing, but I like the idea of having to choose your weapons and armor in your hideout before going out to travel or complete an assassination mission. You could choose to wear heavy armor, carrying multiple weapons which would make you get detected more easily as you'd attract more attention. You'd also climb more slowly or just not be able to climb at all, however you can get through combat more easily. Or you can choose to just wear random civilians clothes or your assassin robes (provided that they don't look too flashy) with just a handful of throwing knives, smoke bombs and your hidden blades, with no visible weapons from the outside, so guards would be less suspicious of you, you can climb faster and excel in stealth, but it's riskier if you're detected as you can get killed in a few hits in combat. You might be able to mix the 2 play styles, or replay missions to try different loadouts. But I think this idea could enhance the gameplay as your choices would actually mean something instead of being able to do everything all the time. Stealth would actually mean something because you could actually get killed easily if you're detected instead of forcing yourself to play that way even though you can easily kill everyone in combat. I guess this could make the games less accessible but also more rewarding to play. Maybe there already are some games with such ideas in mind? [link] [comments] | ||
| What did black beard mean when he said "in a world without gold we might've been heroes" Posted: 17 Apr 2021 12:42 PM PDT It sounds badass and cool but what did it mean, in a world without gold they would still been Pirates and criminals, of course different Pirates had different motivations but the end result is that there are still Pirates and were outlawed and would struggle so how would they be heroes?

| Posted: 17 Apr 2021 12:24 PM PDT I'm playing AC3 Remastered now, and I had difficulty finding enemy convoys to attack especially after finishing the main story and liberating the frontier forts. Tips already out there telling me to fast travel here and there didn't work for me. What worked like a charm for me was... send out your own convoys! To Boston, NY, and frontier. Then, all the spawning points kept generating enemy convoys. I would skip over to fast travel points and easily rake in 10 convoys to get the manor trophy, not to mention the challenge and the achievement. Here are some of the known spawning areas:

| Remastered Game Versions (Putting together collection) Posted: 17 Apr 2021 06:37 AM PDT I'm currently putting together the whole collection and hoping for advice on which console to get them on. I currently have: PS4 Ezio collection (2, brotherhood, revelations) Origins Ps Vita Liberation PS3 Is it worth getting as many as possible for the 4 or are there are some where the remastering makes little to know difference or there's some bonus for having a different edition?

| What’s the difference between Black Flag and the newer games? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 09:52 AM PDT I was around 13 years old when Black Flag came out. I didn't play many video games at the time and after putting in a few hours in I couldn't stand the game. I vividly remember it as being one of the most tedious/boring and un immersive experiences ever. Now years later i'm playing orgins and this game is awesome. Im wondering if I should go back and play the old ones, or there really is a difference in quality with these new ones? [link] [comments] |
