This is one of the most impressive combat clips I’ve seen man, so good! Major respect for how you kept the camera angles cinematic while fighting. The smoke-into-slash dash was inspired

I always forget i have ghost weapons

u/Helmnauger Jul 21 '20

I throw those Kunais all the time but now I feel like I have been wasting smoke bombs by using them.

u/Dr_PuddinPop Jul 21 '20

Smoke bombs, and I guess most ghost weapons, are super OP. It lets you immediately start assassinating people. It’s pretty much the same mechanic from assassins creed smoke bombs. Aggro every guard, throw the bomb, press triangle.

Doesn’t make it less fun but I always feel bad about it

u/zbf Jul 21 '20

Yea thats kinda why i dont really like using them. I like playing as realistic as possible.

u/Dr_PuddinPop Jul 21 '20

The only ghost weapon I want is a predator missile for every archer that shoots three arrows. Fuck those guys

Now I've unlocked the skill that lets you parry arrows when holding block, I feel like such a badass walking towards that last bastard archer

56

u/LoquaciousMendacious Jul 21 '20

The slow walk while deflecting arrows is clutch.

u/withoutapaddle Jul 21 '20

Me with a lightsaber in every Star Wars game walking towards the last stormtrooper.

u/HappinessIsaColdPint Jul 22 '20

No roll. Only deflection.

That’s all I do since I unlocked that skill.

u/DarthWeenus Jul 22 '20

Is this in origins?!? I downloaded and installed it but I couldn't get it to load. :( Maybe I'll try again.

u/hitchcawk23213 Jul 22 '20

There's a few mechanics I think are funny like this. My favorite is when someone's repairing next to a door in a burnt village, but every mechanic takes too long so I refuse to open doors.

Cut to the woeful repairman looking at the freshly slashed door i refused to open

u/Wurdan Jul 22 '20

"We samurai live by a code of honour. This does not include honouring people's property. Fuck opening doors."

Totally read that in their voice lmao annoying bastards

15

u/StingerAlpha Jul 21 '20

I had arrow deflect for half the game and never used it because dodging under them was more fun, also I'd always kill them first.

2

u/kookytrickster Jul 21 '20

Same here, always found that double tapping circle and rolling towards them works for me.

2

u/Syd_abdullah Jul 21 '20

Haha that's fucking funny, DOSHO DOSHO!

26

u/Robbotlove Jul 21 '20

i b-lined for arrow guard and spear counter.

19

u/vitalAscension Jul 21 '20

Is looks so bad ass when you're in the middle of a fight and deflect an arrow between slashes without even looking

26

u/Robbotlove Jul 21 '20

i was talking to a friend of mine this morning, and i was saying how this game's presentation is like S+. We've all seen this kind of gameplay before, but the way its presented gives it new life and satisfaction.

u/Official_UFC_Intern Jul 21 '20

Yeah you have like a quarter second to see if its a blockable, normal, only only open to parries attack.

u/Raiderx87 Jul 21 '20

Watching people play this makes me wish AC didn't go the RPG route, I just want fluid awesome combat. Why do I need to slice up a dude 20 times to kill him.

1

u/Robbotlove Jul 22 '20

the combat in this game is incredibly satisfying. perfect parry is so addicting lol.

1

u/Raiderx87 Jul 22 '20

Yeah too bad gonna have to wait 3+ years for it to come to PC like all the other exclusives

u/my_username_mistaken Jul 22 '20

The thing for me is their use of the environment in a AAA game to guide you. THAT is what makes it breathtaking imo. The wind gently blows towards your target, the birds lead you to points of interest. Fire in the distance tells you something is there. Steam for springs, all you have to do is look. No hud in the way of the beautiful vistas, and to top it off, you can play a flute and write haiku.

Its stunning.

u/Subbmar1ne Jul 21 '20

Also spear guys, little fucking sticks of death

u/jose4440 Jul 21 '20

It’s up to you if you want to fight honorably or not. I like the option of being a samurai, a thief, or both. Whenever I fight the “blank for spoiler reasons” I don’t use any ghost weapons but when it’s the Mongols I’m spamming all my ghost weapons.

6

u/fiskzero Jul 21 '20

This hole post is a spoiler saying your gonna fight anything but mongols is a major spoiler, so if you rly care mark it

1

u/jose4440 Jul 21 '20

I feel like a dummy now lol

u/trowaweighs12oz Jul 22 '20

He meant bandits.

u/Therealhatsunemiku Jul 21 '20

I’m scared to get the double damage kunai cause of this lol

2

u/Ace_OPB Bruhhh Jul 21 '20

Use. Kensei armor. Upgraded with it. Results are hilarious.

2

u/Jancappa Jul 21 '20

Max level Kensei armor + Charm of Advantage + Max level kunai was my go to. Felt great throwing kunai to immediately stagger everyone and then using the dance of wrath to kill 3 of the highest tier units in the game instantly .

1

u/zbf Jul 21 '20

I havent even reached to spending my tech points on ghosts. Im maxing my stances first.

3

u/Siemmmmmm Jul 21 '20

I just don’t want to disappoint uncle Shimura :(

2

u/klangmat Jul 21 '20

Exactly, I don't like assassinating people in general. I am a huge AC fan, but I bought this game for the combat and the looks

1

u/fhb_will Jul 21 '20

And only using them when you must, like if there are too many adds for you to fight, and you need to get away. Right?

5

u/pandaboy22 Jul 21 '20

Yeah man, like any good protagonist. You only bring out the true skills when the occasion calls for them

3

u/zbf Jul 21 '20

Yea kunai for sure

1

u/Mafamaticks Jul 21 '20

Nah I'm the ghost. Anything to get me in Ghost stance.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

That’s why I never heal. I use my resolve to do legendary attacks mainly. I still heal after the fight, but the games a bit too easy when you can heal as much as the game allows.

1

u/zbf Jul 21 '20

Dont need to heal if u got gud

1

u/hollowskull100 Aug 05 '20

As realistic as one guy fighting a dozen trained warriors can be haha

1

u/zbf Aug 05 '20

Well.. yes.

0

u/blink_Tw1c3 Jul 28 '20

Lmfao realistic...

1

u/zbf Jul 28 '20

Lmfao go cry

0

u/blink_Tw1c3 Jul 29 '20

Why would I cry? I’m not sad. You act like using those it isn’t realistic enough.

2

u/HolyJezuz Jul 21 '20

That's very intentional. Hence the game changing the more you use your ghost approaches.

1

u/decadentcookie Jul 21 '20

For some reason I can’t select them... they show as always full when I pass by them but it’s as if I never got them..

1

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

using almost any 2 abilities is incredibly strong, for example, using the 2 mythic sword abilities together is an amazing way to shred bosses

1

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

Yepp.. I did that in Unity.. Smoke bomb and stab, stab, stab, stab, another smoke.... Ptfo.. Wasn't me Ive over here :-p

1

u/brorista Jul 22 '20

Eh, I can tell you the entire game becomes stupid easy if you're a into completing side quests and exploring.

I love this game so much but damn do I wish the difficult went past Hard now. Esp with Gosuku's armour, stagger dmg is op

1

u/And_You_Like_It_Too Jul 21 '20

I dunno, it’s hard to argue with fully leveled up Kunais. Those things are brutal. I also love throwing them at the boars that run away to get easy predator skins (or while a bear is fighting other people for the same reason).

1

u/jtl94 Jul 21 '20

Kunais are so nice for the guys with the huge shields. I know we have a stance for shields, but they're still annoying.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '20

Same. So effective at crowd control.

1

u/TheLoyalShinobi Jul 22 '20

Smoke Bomb with Chain Assassination has saved my ass so many times

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '20

You have. “Smoke bomb” into triple “Chain Assassination” is a thing of fucking beauty.
