assassin's creed crossover coming out at the end of the month for free

tbh i really like all the wacky post-release stuff they've been putting out, but my favorite part is watching supposed fanboys cry about being betrayed with each new announcement

I think Assassin's Creed crossed over with more series than any other videogame franchise.

That includes Capcom fighters.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Final Fantasy XV
Soul Calibur 5
...

But yeah, I'm interested in it.

Is Assassin's Creed at all popular in Japan? Is it Ubisoft trying to build popularity for the franchise over there and that's why they keep crossing over with Japanese games?

The AC thing looks pretty cool. I think I'm gonna finally play the game finally in December (which is when I'm expecting the last of the post-game patches to end after 1 year), so hopefully I can experience the AC stuff before it ends.

It's well known. I'm unsure how popular it is, but every version since the first has been well promoted for a western game here.

Good to see them making good on their promise of fleshing out the latter chapters. That, along with all the DLC they've released, will make a replay on PC a no-brainer.

I played the AssCrud DLC. It's super corny and frustrating at a few moments, and also shows how little they utilized some of the mechanics they had in this game.

Am I the only person that finds this game way too easy?
Maybe I need to stop doing side-missions but the game feels way too easy and I don't know how you could realistically die in this game. The fact that the combat is so simplified and the "dungeons" are so linear just kills my enjoyment of this game.
I've reinstalled it 3 separate times now but I just can't get past the difficulty. I like the story and the world and the game looks and feels great, but it feels like I'm basically walking forward a lot and holding circle.
Am I missing something?

Positive Touch · « **Reply #679 on:** January 12, 2018, 08:33:00 PM »

the way the game is set up, you can't get a game over unless you refuse to use phoenix downs. generally if an enemy is too hard it means you'll constantly be in critical state or spamming items, and you'll barely be able to damage it. but yes, sidequests do make you massively overpowered for the main story since they give so much exp. they're fucking terrible tho so you might as well skip them.

I'd hoped for an FPS breakdown at the very least and data on CPUs as well, but they only show GPU averages.

Unlikely to be CPU limited given what the consoles have, but still.

It's a demake for sure. I finished chapter 1, unless they change things in other chapters it is basically a clip show version of FFXV with short "dungeons" for all the areas. It's an interesting novelty but I dunno that I'm paying $20 for a linear version of FFXV.

More DLC episodes this year and next:

Quote

In interviews with the Japanese gaming news websites Famitsu and 4Gamer on Friday, the staff of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV game revealed more details about the game's new content in 2018 and beyond.

Game director Hajime Tabata stated that Square Enix will release four more DLC episodes for the game. He told 4Gamer that Square Enix will release the content beyond just 2018, in order to stick to a "reasonable development schedule." The game's first new episode will focus on Ardyn, and Tabata hinted again that another episode may focus on Luna.

Also:

Tabata additionally told 4Gamer that the game has a combined physical shipment plus download sales of "about 7 million" copies

Not that I know of. Blow-by-blow with the PC version: It removes hunts, the car is liner and you have no option to drive it (not a huge loss apparently). The dungeon/map sizes are smaller. The combat is simplified.

It's a "De-make" of the game, but it's actually a huge improvement if all you want to do is go through the story.

Man, just saw the next wave of DLC episodes isn't coming out until early/mid-2019. Wow. Basically signaling they need an entire year to make 4-5 hours of story-based single player FF content. Which I guess if the bulk of the entire team has moved on and just a skeleton crew is left to do them, it makes sense. But if you're doing substantial DLC like this why not add more developers to that skeleton team?

Guess I'm still not playing FFXV until Summer 2019...

Finished my second story playthrough this weekend. The end game is definitely better with the Royal Edition content. Doesn't feel quite so abrupt. Overall the extra story stuff for the later chapters helps.

I've finished both the Gladio and Prompto DLC stories. Neither was more longer than an hour.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #709 on:** April 02, 2019, 09:49:19 PM »

Swapping in the DLC kind of helps.

I'm currently doing a 2nd playthrough of the Royal Edition on Xbox One X now that the game is done. I wish the DLC could be more cleanly integrated then me quitting into the menu when I feel it's appropriate, but whatever. Still it works and his filled in some of the story. I did the Gladio DLC when he came back to the party and it fit in well. Stop at a campsite on your way back to Camp Caem in chapter 8 for extra immersion! Then did Ignis after chapter 10 which I think is a good idea. Sure it shows glimpses of the ending which will probably not really spoil those who are playing for the first time, but the epilogue dosen't fit cleanly if you want this to all to flow correctly. Still, the events of the Ignis DLC help understand the 2nd half of the game.

I think the Ardyn dlc should be played right after the chapter where Noctis goes into the crystal and Ardyn reveals his name. Seems like it will make most sense there. Especially when dialogue already in the game refers to those events. Not sure where I'll swamp in Prompto. But still the extra additions are improving the game. It will never be a tightly woven package(maybe a PS5 type re-release will do this), but still I will say my opinion is improving.

I'm actually gonna give the FF15 DLC a go once I'm done with Monster Boy. Beat the game when it first came out and thought it was mediocre...

I hear rumors that the FF14 director will be working on 16. Never played 14 (no interest in MMOs) but at least it's not Tabata or Motomu Toriyama.

So I got this game for 1200 yen and I figured I'd play this shit in quarantine, and wait patiently for FF7R to get cheaper (in Japan the secondhand prices of FF games tank faster than any other series).

I am on Chapter 12 now. Chapters 1-9 were a HOOT. Dungeons are great. Combat is a little bit wonky but fun. I knew the game starts to go to shit from chapters 10+ so I leveled up pretty hard and am committed to blasting through the rest of it.

I heard Chapter 13 is complete and utter dogshit and will sap my will to live; did they do any fixes to this in the subsequent patches?
Also, can I go back to the open world after the game finishes? I want to do all the dungeons because they're fun AF.

demi · « **Reply #717 on:** April 13, 2020, 09:13:50 PM »

Yes you can explore the world when you beat the game.

All the patches changed up the later chapters, so it might be better than when we played it at launch.

1.Chapter 1-8.
2.In Chapter 8 when you get Gladio back, switch to Episode Gladio.
3.Chapters 9
4.Episode Ignis.
5.Chapters 10-12
6.Episode Prompto
7.Chapter 13/Switch to Verse 2 right before the Ravus fight.
8.Episode Ardyn
9.Improved Chapter 14.

Is this the recommended order with the royal edition?

FFVIIr's got me really back in with FF (besides playing FFXIV daily) and XV is the only mainline SP game in the series I still haven't played (because when the PS4 version came out at launch they were all "PLEASE DON'T PLAY OUR GAME YET IF YOU HAVE A PS4 PRO, IT'S JANK AND WE'RE GONNA DO A PRO PATCH IN 3 MONTHS" and by 3 months later I was moved on to other stuff and just never came back), so I'm thinking after VIIr I'll play XV next.
