Anno 1800 - A masterpiece of a game! (so far)

Ah, another game that wilingly lock out linux users. Nice.
I've never played an Anno title before and I absolutely loved the beta this weekend. Will buy it next month. It's pretty much everything I was hoping it would be. Seems like the kind of game I could end up playing for hundreds of hours. Once I switched to Direct 12 the game looked incredible. The details and animations are so well done. Every new building was exciting to see and zoom in on. I'm looking forward to how mid-game diplomacy and trade work. Could be an instant classic. Be proud Blue Byte Mainz!
I did have a lot of trouble with a quest 2-3 hours in where it wanted me to located a cousin leading a mob in the developed city, near a giant exhibition hall. I never found him. Anyone else have trouble with this?

Game looks wonderful, too bad it runs really bad on my potato PC. Too bad to buy it... Playing the first one back in the day was fantastic, many memories...
Did they ever mention a console port? They could even use the mouse and keyboard support of xbox/ps4... I can't find anything about that, so probably not.

You need to zoom in and observe the mentioned place in the town of your nasty uncle. He´s probably not super close to the exhibition hall but definitely roaming the streets. Just look for a guy leading a protest.
Ah ok, thanks. I looked and looked but couldn't find a mob. I'll find him in the full version.
Played the beta for two hours yesterday and now i can't stop thinking about this game. First game in many years that brought back that old Caesar 3-feeling.
At the risk of not being super helpful: I assume it'll be at some point today. The only hard evidence I have, though, is that a German games podcast (www.gamespodcast.de) will release their initial impressions at midnight German time (which is when they usually release their podcasts).
There was actually one for Wii but it really wasn't the same game and used the pointer control.
Your potato PC can probably run 1404, it's on GOG if you never played it and it's still fun today.
If you are able to understand German these benchmarks here might be quite interesting :).

The conclusion is that the game looks absolutely gorgeous. DX12 isn´t helping AMD cards at the moment. NV cards benefit slighty. The game is a beast on the CPU but still playable with 30-40 fps. They are using their own save game with a town that has 10.000 inhabitants for the benchmarks.

worth noting that AMD didnt release drivers for the game yet.
I just received my Pioneers Edition, it's gorgeous, the art-book is big!
Can't wait to play more tonight once it unlocks.

Enjoy! I am really proud and happy how the artbook turned out <3
That's some dedication. You are in for a treat. Anno is fantastic and this seems like the best Anno yet. If you like it, also check out Anno 1404.
Man that 20% deal for 100 Ubicoins really makes me thinking ...
I was thinking about buying a new laptop in the next year or so, but those Anno vids made me do it way quicker than I thought!
Midnight in Spain then. Thanks!
Is this the OT?
I saw a season pass has been announced!

Wow I guess everyone is snapping up the game now before it goes away from 3rd party sellers and Steam? Top Seller on Steam and now green man gaming is sold out of uplay keys? I was just about to buy it from green man gaming too, feels bad man. Can't remember the last time keys were sold out before release for pre sale of a game.

So the ubisoft store is down of course. is there any reason to not get this on steam? will it be available at midnight?
Yep, I was contemplating picking up the game, but going to hold off for a deep Uplay sale now since GMG sold out earlier today. It's annoying that the 20% off Uplay coupon only works in Europe for new releases.
Thanks. Was gonna reply earlier but then I spent 2 hours playing the game... RIP time.
