Love the game, but stealth definitely was pretty punishing right at the start of the game. That said, it became incredibly easy with the upgrades/unlocks progressing throughout the game, even a bit too easy. Frankly I hope upcoming nerfs don’t make it even easier later in the game.
I think the best solution for early gameplay would be to give a window of opportunity to react to getting caught. this is also an upgrade (Fast Talker or something like that), so you can send Nix to distract the guy. Perhaps it would be as simple as to have that ability unlocked by default.
Add a few more checkpoint saves throughout, or simply an option to save in more places since it’s usually disabled in places you sneak about, and I think most issues around stealth would be fixed.
From what I read it was over 8 years in development, it should’ve been well beyond a rework, or maybe even a couple, already.
I’m almost certain that Sony, as any boss, was quite done with the whole fiasco and just said “fuck it, let’s go” and just see what happens. It probably wasn’t worth the time and effort to keep putting resources into a project going nowhere.
It takes only a minute to check on Metacritic what the majority of negative reviews are about.
There are a few legit ones, but most are just trashtalking Ubisoft. Or saying horsecrap like “looks like PS3 games”, which it clearly doesn’t. Or every positive review is “paid by Ubisoft”, and people even complaining about it being a woke political agenda, fucking lmao.
I strongly doubt these trolls even installed the game.
I’m not defending a large company.
I’m expressing my enjoyment of this game. I do not care what company is behind it.
The problem lies with the people that let their entire opinions be molded by the large company behind it.
I never said I assume that every bad review is from someone who hasn’t played.
But you can’t ignore the insane amount of hate Ubisoft is getting for the most insignificant non-issues just because they’re Ubisoft. It takes like a few seconds to notice how the troll armies are linking stuff from various clickbait YouTubers and streamers on social media, and no doubt a vast majority of negative feedback is coming from there.
I’m not ignoring the legit issues this game has, because they are definitely present. And I’m doing my part in reporting them to Ubisoft, instead of making trollposts about it on social media, so we can all enjoy a better game. Sadly that isn’t part of the majority’s crusade against Ubisoft, they’re just out there farming internet points, banking on the circlejerk hate.
I can almost guarantee that the upcoming Metacritic user reviews are a prime example of “Hue hue Ubisoft bad”.
It really isn’t a bad game.
I’m 7 hours in and having a blast (pun intended). It’s an alright game if you’re not into SW, it’s an awesome game if you are. Reminds me a lot of Hogwarts Legacy, the game didn’t bring anythinbg new to the market, but it’s fun if you’re into the theme.
There have been a few technical difficulties but nothing as bad as games I played before, which got much higher ratings and didn’t get blasted for it as hard as people do with this game.
People just really let their hate for Ubisoft take over and jump on that social bandwagon for internet points, even though the game plays barely like any other Ubisoft game I’ve played in the past 30 years.
I bet later today Metacritic user reviews will be flooded with people who haven’t even played the game and just base their entire opinion on a few buggy game clips.
Frankly it’s not even a big deal. There is still the special ability that lets you shoot multiple targets like Red Dead, but I basically never use it.
I don’t really got the impression that the main character is the kind that does random ghetto drive-bys from a speeder.
I’m almost certain the only reason Concord has players is because of social media incessantly talking about it. The only reason I know of the game is because of social media.
Just let it die and move on already.
Yeah it would’ve been less frustrating if they did the “early access” at the start of the week so everyone could hop on during the weekend.
I hope next expansion people will massively change their minds about buying into early access, because it’s such a stupid feature for a game that’s already a €50 with a paid subscription on top, completely destroying everything that made expansion launches great (world firsts, everyone playing together, not having to deal with massive story spoilers on social media).
But I’m afraid too many people will simply not care and still shell out for a couple of days extra.
This was an awful trailer, sped up to even 200% it looks much better lmao
They have learned nothing from the insanely slow paced cutscenes from Dragonflight I guess.
I wish they updated some of the visuals like other MMOs often do after many years. I like GW2 and gameplay still works well, but it looks so dated compared to other MMOs that refreshed most of their stuff.
Well that came like 10 years too late lol
I don’t think I’ll ever use it considering it was already easily possible with flexbox, and before that (although dirtier) with tables as well.
So first thing I notice was the top 1/3rd of the page being a blank space.
Then I remembered I had an adblocker.
That said, I rarely ever visit the website, but it looks like every generic blog/news theme format I’ve seen in the past 10 years or so lol. Never change a winning team, but it’s nothing to write home about to be honest.
Closest thing they did was a WarCraft 3 remake a few years ago, but it wasn’t really well received. I think mostly because of reasons other than the actual remake, since they forced the original game to be part of the new launcher and altered the original game.
I wouldn’t expect a new WarCraft RTS anytime soon though. They got 3 expansions planned for WoW, so it’d be hard to fit in an RTS that would take place around the same story/theme without making it an alternate timeline kind of thing.
Well they’ve been doing these style cinematics a couple of expansions already. I quite enjoy the story set-ups through these.
Reminds me of the meme of someone making a website with AI and then said to a bro his programming days were over.
And then proceeds to send the localhost address to the guy.
