  • 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.





  • 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.




  • 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.










  • 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.
