  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Either commit all the way to being a warrior or an assassin and turn the level scaling down as much as possible. Odyssey is gay as fuck for not letting you turn it off completely,

Odyssey is truly dogshit for this. You'll go up one level and you'll go from being able to assassinate dudes to having to go into melee and hit them for like 1% of their hp per strike and wail on them for a minute. It's the absolute worst case scenario for "RPG elements" and level scaling in a game. Good thing the game has an upgrade system for your gear so you can keep up, right? Oh wait it's so expensive you'll run out of resources(which you also need for your ship) instantly. Oh how convenient that you can just buy more in the cash shop!
I'm not a huge Origins fan but it's amazing how Ubisoft managed to learn all the wrong lessons from it and make the sequel so much worse.

From Eurogamer, as Ubisoft is currently "deeply disturbed" over the abuse at the Assassin's Creed Shadows support studio.

Ever since ubisoft got called out for their racist shit and being a dick to japan history (One legged torii gate etc). They have new gameplay video out that only focusing on Naoe. Also all of their tweet that advertise the game are only Naoe now, never their legendary greatest samurai YASUKE!.. i wonder why.

As someone who played the 3 mythology games before trying my hand at Unity, and having my face blown off with how fast, agile and.. assassin-esque it is, this looks good. I'm so tired of Eivor being a slow piece of shit and every time I need to scale something, it's a chore. I actually enjoy it in Unity in comparison. This looks good, if you disregard everything else about the game. "Uhh hook points will be pre-designed and not an organic system" yeah so what, every game is like that at this point. Even double-assassination opportunities are very clearly designed to be there, you're not breaking the mold or anything.

I've 100%'d all territories in Valhalla now and I swear it's the same 3 entrance points to all the cities. Once you've done a few of them, you can tell the next apart instantly, and the few times you can't, it bugs me. There's no way to be innovative about literally 800 buildings you need to break into, so I'm fine with it being modular copy-paste type shit. I doubt I'll preorder the game after all, only because so many other games are dropping in february, but I hope it'll become a fast -50% on Steam and I can pick it up without breaking my habit of spending very little on games.

That aside: I'm actually excited to get into Unity but I need to complete the roguelite bullshit dlc in Valhalla for my 100%.

It can't be for QA reasons, since ubishit has no quality control whatsoever, so what else could cause it? Too many competing titles releasing in nigger month? Voice actors' strike? Couldn't completely remove the nigger from the game?

The game is fucked no matter what they do.

At least now they can't use the optics of nigger history month to try to promote the game anymore.

At least three major titles in Feb (Avowedm Monster Hunter Wilds, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 ) along with the optics in the US on how bad it would lookd. The lanuage in other press release make it look like the company is getting ready to get bought out so maybe waiting a bit more to see how that goes. AC:Shadow is Ubisoft last big chance.

Probably trying to get as many preorders as possible to avoid DA: Veilguard's and Outlaws' fate. They originally wanted a traditional November release because that's when AAA games make the best sales historically but sales were low. They hoped that moving it to February would mean no competition, but along comes the PC release of FFVII Rebirth, Kingdom Come 2, and Monster Hunter to curb stomp them in preorders. No sales again.

They're just delaying, hoping to keep the company afloat at this point. Like a high-schooler doing everything to avoid coming home to show his parents his failing grades.

I assume it's because of their quarterly reporting cycle, and moving it means they won't have to disclose any financial info on the game's performance in the Q1 figures. They are probably expecting it to underperform and want to hide that fact for as long as possible, so the board can get their ducks in a row and make plans to sell the company or jump ship.

Given the 4-6 year dev cycle typical of western AAA games Shadows was almost certainly conceived during the height of the racial panic/George Floyd shit where for a while it did legitimately seem like afro idolatry was going to become the official state religion of the U.S.

We're a very different country than we were in 2020, Blumpf has widespread support and you can say nigger on Facebook. They're desperately trying to delay the inevitable but when this comes out it will be met with derision, mockery, and Kang memes.

There is no longer an audience for this game.

We pretty much have a hard confirmation of that based on the lead writer. From what I recall, she was a morbidly obese liberal white woman that was pro BLM.

I'm just here hoping we can kill Yasuke in the very first mission as AC: Shadows goes Chudmode and does a full 180 where we play as one of Mitsuhides vassals during the Honno-Ji Incident where we can depose of this dindu and proceed with playing as an actual Samurai instead of cupbearer/pet/exotic trinket that is Yasuke gaslighting the audience he was nothing more than a jebait for the (((modern audience))).

A man can only dream...
