Assassin's Creed Ragnarok New 4chan Leak

Don't buy it day one and just wait for a big sale on the gold edition.
Co-op in Unity was amazing. I'm happy they are bringing it back.
Other than that I'm not too excited. Odyssey is way too big for me and made me stop feeling like an assassin. The bigger RPG elements bug me as well. I'll most likely purchase this game on sale at some point like I did with Odyssey.
Oh shit I just realized....imagine sneaking around with 3 other companions trying to accomplish a mission eww.
I guess Ghost of Tsushima will give me my solo stealth game feast.
Their shit leaks every year like clockwork and most of this is fairly plausible.
I remember watching one of the games in this new formula and knew the series wasn't for me anymore when they snuck up on a guy to stealth kill only for a number to pop up from them and began fighting like nothing happened. Of all the things to change why that?
? You can pretty much one shot every enemies in AC with the hidden blade, it's really not a problem.
Just a heads up, thats fake and not a real leak. At least the Gamestop one is a badly faked one.
Not in Odyssey. Been a while so I can't remember for Origins.
If you decided to dump points into the assassination tree and upgrade your critical strikes ability, then you could assassinate 90% of enemies with one shot. But there was still that 10% of high health enemies that couldn't be insta killed unless you were late into your levelling and had great gear to boost your abilities.
What does this mean:
Levelling is overhauled to allow players to improve skillsets to gain experience, like in Skyrim. As a result, level locking regions and content is gone.
- so does that mean you will level up skills that you use like in Elder Scrolls? Does it also mean that everything is scaled 100%? Not a fan of scaling at all though.
As to the weapon durability, if it's like BOTW then I'll hate it but I'd still like to hear a bit more about it before I say for sure.
Most everything else is welcome news.

The fact that you even need to use qualifiers is the problem. It's shouldn't require special gear or skill points in the first place.
How does buying the version with more content - and at a point when that content is already released - supposed to help with the issue that the base game already feels to big for him?
Really seems like they are taking the "Ubi games all feel the same" as a compliment instead of a criticism....
In Odyssey too. I'm playing it right now and with only 5 points in the Assassin skill tree I pretty much one shotted nearly everyone in a major outpost (I'm playing on hard).
Yes some of higher ranked enemies cannot be one shotted but it's perfectly fine in term of balancing. And with a critical strike you still removes 90% of their health so yeah it's really not an issue.
The hidden blade system in Odyssey is very good imo.
A open world, co op, loot collector, RPG, idle, action game / managment sim.
Seriously just keep the Creed naming convention.
Pirate's Creed
Spartan's Creed
Is that too hard?
But not all? Interesting. Some of it sounds cool, other parts suspect. I just want origins leveling back, let's not overcomplicate beyond that.
In recent games, it will OHK regular peons but you need to upgrade it in order to take out elite enemies.
BOO.
BOO.
Why don't you add some inventory tetris to it, too, while you're fucking up the fun.
This is actually the most interesting bit for me. I found exploration in Odyssey to be far too restricted due to level requirements. Another thing I'd like is to remove unnecessary map Icons permanently in the menu. Basically I want the map to function more like BOTW's.
I've also been wondering if traditional leveling is beginning to stifle game design as more and more games incorporate "RPG Mechanics". I'd certainly like to see more games (Particularly AAA) take alternative leveling methods instead of the typical [exp threshold= increased str,def,health,etc]. I've always kind of liked how Skyrim leveled skills by having the player use them.
Don't be vague and give us a straight answer like Jason did.
Outside of ERA I dunno about that. In ERA yeah that's true, but not outside of it.
Again with the fucking bird drones. Cool idea in Origins, but now its played out. Yep, every assassin had a bird buddy now.
I dont even feel like an assassin anymore in these games.

I'm sorry but Bayek and Kassandra are great characters, they had great stories and were unique to experience I have to say I don't understand this line of logic. Bayek is easily as fascinating as many previous AC protagonists. And as a person who just recently re-played the first 3 AC games I think you might be forgetting how much "variety" the missions have in those games. They are basically the same stealth missions ending in an assassination over and over and over for 3 games. I'd argue there is more variety of things to do in Odyssey than in the first 3 AC games combined.
This is just a bad take. Odyssey was not "absolutely garbage" in any context. The game was a commercial and critical success. Your personal opinion doesn't get to color the reality of that sir.
It all sounds cool in terms of kitchen sink AAA design, the kind of game you can create with an army of developers around the globe working on your IP. But the soul of the series has been lost in the weeds for years, not expecting this to be the focused historical assassin sim I keep hoping the series wil evoke again someday.
Thank you =)
Definitely feels like a lot of people are latching onto the few obvious details and then guessing some extra info for Internet points. Ubisoft is such a leaky ship that people are eager to believe most of them.
Its fact that it was a bad Assassin's Creed game. It barely featured any of the core tenants of the series and those it did feature it did poorly.
You don't even get a fucking hidden blade.
The whole weapon durability thing is something I'm not a fan of. If it's something like The Witcher 3 then I won't mind that much. My least favorite aspect of BOTW was the constant search for weapons because they would just break at the worst times.
