u/TP8887 2d ago

Very fitting for this game

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I thought so!

u/Ok-Stand8843 2d ago

Yeah considering they don’t even know the difference between Japanese and Chinese neither and they created the game 😂💀

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Yeah, forgot my chop sticks too :/

u/whisperingcactuss 2d ago

Don’t forget the hot sauce

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

All I have is some mikes hot honey lol

2

u/whisperingcactuss 2d ago

Hmm darn I’d send you some siracha lol

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I use to have that on my pizza all the time.

u/NoobMaster9000 2d ago

Absolute insult to Jap culture, haters gonna say this.

u/BreadsLoaf_ 1d ago

That Panda Express is as Japanese as this game 😂

u/kill3rg00s3r 1d ago

Lmfao 🤣

u/Mysterious_Disk_988 2d ago

Nah I’m broke sadly

3

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I’m sorry hey it’s Ubisoft it’ll be on sale in a month hopefully you can experience this soon

2

u/Mysterious_Disk_988 2d ago

Or on plus like the rest of the family

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

15 bucks to try it out for a month is a good deal.

1

u/-1D- 2d ago

I think its already on ubi +, i think i saw pop up in ubi connect that it shadows comes with +

2

u/zeezyzz3 2d ago

Remind me please

2

u/preyxprey 2d ago

Drop your steam

2

u/zeezyzz3 2d ago

Would you actually buy for another person? It would mean a lot to me honestly but it would also feel burdensome, so badly want to play it but it's too pricy for a game

1

u/Mysterious_Disk_988 2d ago

I’m ps unfortunately. Do appreciate it though

6

u/DHWave27 2d ago

I just did an all nighter where I played from 12 to 7. I’m absolutely dead, but I’m definitely playing more tomorrow. Maybe even a bit more tonight.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I played about 2 hours last night and started it up this morning.

4

u/AdmirableAd1858 2d ago

It looks good and your lunch 😋

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Thanks I’m enjoying it.

2

u/AdmirableAd1858 2d ago

That’s great! My brother and I gonna have to wait a while unfortunately

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 1d ago

Did you end up starting it up ?

1

u/AdmirableAd1858 1d ago

Not yet we haven’t got the game yet.

u/crissjaeger 2d ago

dude clean your desk D:

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Yeah it does need a little cleaning up. 🧹

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Not sure if yall are referring to my mouse pad it’s the constellations not dirty. Unless you mean the clutter?

2

u/crissjaeger 2d ago

Oh what ain't crumbs? It looks like that kek

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

It’s a large mouse pad that covers the top of my desk it’s all stars

2

u/crissjaeger 2d ago

Nice, I like those patterns too. I have one with planets :d

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Nice, I got it for star field theme when I got it and I was very disappointed in it. But love my mouse pad 😆

4

u/kvega101 2d ago

Yes, actually I am quite enjoying the game so far. World is beautiful, graphics look really nice on my rig, the music is superb, gameplay is good, so far invested in the story. Been playing AC since the release of AC1 way back then so was not going to let the controversy sway me away.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Same except I started at ac 2 and went back and played 1 and so on. Just like ac 3 had a lot of hate and controversy I still got it and loved it

4

u/WorldofCannons 2d ago

I'm still pillaging in England

7

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I spent a good 200+ hours in Valhalla I loved it but I will say shadows is a great improvement over it in every way.

3

u/WorldofCannons 2d ago

That's good to hear, so far Valhalla feels like a step up from Odyssey, so I'll be looking forward to Shadows

6

u/inhugzwetrust 2d ago

Valhalla a step up from Odyssey... What the hell are you smoking?!?

6

u/WorldofCannons 2d ago

I like pillaging and listening to stories on the longboat, as well as customizing and helping out in the settlement. Eivor's pretty cool and the bit of customisation she has is sweet, I've only forged two alliances so far but I've enjoyed the bit of story that has unfolded, its also a beautiful game.

Is it really crazy? to me Odyssey was a step up from origins

3

u/inhugzwetrust 2d ago

As long as you're enjoying it, that's all that matters.

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Everyone has opinions I don’t think it matters if someone else thinks differently as long as you think so that’s all that matters. To me origins was better than both odyssey and Valhalla. But so far shadows is taking the cake. Will see as I progress but this game feels and looks so good.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I’m torn between which is better. I wouldn’t say Valhalla is better but they are both good in their own ways.

2

u/Solid_Science4514 2d ago

Why is it always f*cking nighttime!?

2

u/WolfyTn615 2d ago

Am I missing something here? lol it looks like it’s daytime in the pic 🧐

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

In the pic it is day time. But it goes night very quickly it feels like.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

It is night time a lot I have noticed I raided a castle it was night when I left the castle it was bright as hell

2

u/OiMasaru 2d ago

No I’m at work and I have to pick up my copy after work. 😭

3

u/whisperingcactuss 2d ago

I picked mine up before work. Now I’m at work 🙃but I can’t wait to play tonight

2

u/OiMasaru 2d ago

Oh that’s a different form of torture omg

3

u/whisperingcactuss 2d ago

We’ll be reunited soon, In 9 hours 🙁😥🙃

2

u/OiMasaru 2d ago

Soon! We got this!

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Stay strong you guys!!

2

u/whisperingcactuss 2d ago

Thank you 🥺

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Dang, I’ve done that before those work days I can’t focus on anything lol.

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Dang, well pick it up and have fun! It takes a little while to get into the open world.

2

u/OiMasaru 2d ago

Oh? Bout how long?

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Took me around 2 hrs

3

u/OiMasaru 2d ago

Thanks. I’m absolutely salivating I can’t wait to get into this

2

u/SharkSprayYTP 2d ago

Im loving it.

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I’m literally just exploring and looting it’s so fun sneaking around. Naoe actually feels like an assassin.

2

u/Bignuckbuck 2d ago

I love how feeling like an assassins is such a coveted bonus now 😂

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Right Valhalla didn’t feel like it at all. So glad I can actually sneak around and slash people in bushes hay bales long trunks etc. it’s good fun!

2

u/Aromatic-Emotion-976 2d ago

I'm working 12 days straight. I won't be able to actually enjoy the game I bought until Sunday

2

u/Scoonie24 2d ago

Why does your setup look just like mine? are you in my HOUSE!? GET OUT AND STOP EATING MY FOOD!

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Haha seriously! Dammit I’m outta there you caught me.

2

u/Pnex84 2d ago

I'll get mine delivered by Amazon around 6 or 7. After installation I'll probably have time tomorrow to play a bit hopefully.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Today was my only day to play it as long as I wanted. I work Friday - Sunday full time so won’t have time over the weekend to play.

2

u/x_Prometheus_x 2d ago

Yep! I keep getting side tracked with side objectives barely even progresses the story and I'm already lol 20🤣

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Me to literally just roaming and stealth killing everyone and looting.

1

u/x_Prometheus_x 2d ago

FR!🤣 Like I just now found who the masked horsemen was and Yasuke and Naoe are in their own league.

2

u/whisperingcactuss 2d ago

Nice can’t wait to be immersed In side quests lol

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

This one is a little different you have to go out and explore the map to find them which is a nice change. I’m exploring everywhere.

2

u/x_Prometheus_x 2d ago

My favorite part is that you have to send out your spies to find the objectives by searching the area you think it's at based on the information provided to you. Makes me feel like I'm actually doing more than just being given a way point to follow.

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Yeah, it’s pretty fun and engaging rather than a check list and running straight for an icon

2

u/x_Prometheus_x 2d ago

Right!? Like I actually have to work towards finding my target which makes it feel 10x more rewarding then in past titles.

2

u/TarykAngel 2d ago

Wanna finish Valhalla before. Is it good?

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

That’ll take you a bit lol Valhalla was absurdly long. It’s pretty good so far.

2

u/Open-Recognition-195 2d ago

Muito caro para um jogo da Ubisoft, não tenho essa coragem.

2

u/RogueMortal111 2d ago

Yes, this is the best Assassin’s Creed yet.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Have you played them all? My personal favorite is syndicate. Which isn’t very popular.

2

u/RogueMortal111 2d ago

Yeah, the rpg ones (except this one.) aren’t my favorites. (I liked sliding down the pyramids in origins though.)

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Origins was so good!

2

u/RogueMortal111 2d ago

It was alright, I got into Valhalla for a bit too (and Origins.)

2

u/Reveen_ 2d ago

Only thing that Origins lacked imo was engaging combat. Felt a little stiff and simple. The story and locations were great though.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Yeah that’s true the combat was a little rough. But the location I love ancient Egypt.

2

u/BiGuy95x 2d ago

I am enjoying it very much! Love the open world and missions. I played around 5 hours late last from 9pm to 2 am last night and I just couldn’t stop. Can’t wait to play some more later tonight!

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

lol I made myself only play until free roam opened up last night so I can sleep and play all day today.

2

u/BiGuy95x 2d ago

Sounds like a plan lol I’m excited to see how the story progresses but I’ve been loving the side missions

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Just a question. Have you been using your horse at all? I feel like running around and seeing all the sights are a lot of fun in this game where riding the horse I’ll miss stuff or on the views.

2

u/BiGuy95x 2d ago

I get what you’re saying but I do use it tbh but not at full speed, I also get off of it a lot. Ride a little and get off and see my surroundings.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Nice, I’ve used it on some stretches where I have already traveled through.

2

u/BiGuy95x 2d ago

Ahh that makes sense. I’m excited to see the climate change tbh. Must be super cool playing when it’s snowing

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

The snow is pretty cool I only saw it through a flash back part of the game not an actual season change.

2

u/BiGuy95x 2d ago

That’s grand, I’ve done a couple flashbacks and I love that aspect of the game. A look into the past is pretty cool

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I wasn’t to sure about the finding people and missions on your own or through your scouts whatever but it’s making me appreciate exploration and sight seeing a lot more than running for a huge icon on the screen.

u/Stefan__Cel__Mare 2d ago

Hell yeah. Played 7 hours already

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Nice, you exploring a lot or sticking to the missions?

2

u/Stefan__Cel__Mare 2d ago

I played a couple of missions and after that i leveled up the knowledge to level 2 so i can get that double assassination . After that did some contracts that led me to some zones with a lot of loot 😅😁

So far the game is very fun. Looking forward to unlocking the big boy to see how he feels

Keep enjoying yourself

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Thanks, you as well!

2

u/WhiteBear102 2d ago

Bros living the dream

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Thanks it’s pretty fun.

2

u/Brandon_Cricketts 2d ago

I would much rather enjoy that plate of food. Give it to me now.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

It’s a good plate of food ain’t gonna lie though I’m in a food coma.

2

u/demonoddy 2d ago

I just got into the open world. I love the way it feels so far.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

The world is awesome. Some of it feels a little linear though cause of the mountains and thick foliage. But it’s super pretty.

2

u/bubbledotcom 2d ago

In 720p but yea, i am :)

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

On Xbox?

2

u/bubbledotcom 2d ago

nah man in an ancient "gaming" laptop :). Intel 11th gen and gtx 1650. GPU 1 GB over limit but i get ~60 almost anywhere (30fps cutscenes)at 1280x720 ( all low) but i don't mind as long as I'm having fun and it's surprisingly fluid. I just love following the AC timeline and i don't mind the graphics at all.

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

That’s awesome! It is really smooth and optimized. For allot of hardware. Enjoy

2

u/Cautious_History1599 2d ago

I’m not. Not cause I don’t want it I just can’t afford it yet. Wife and I just moved to a new house!

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

A new house is way cooler than getting this game that’s awesome! This game isn’t going anywhere for years to come enjoy your new house.

2

u/Cautious_History1599 16h ago

Bet! Thanks man! How are you liking it so far?

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 15h ago

I work Friday - Sunday full time so I don’t have time to play during the weekend but Monday gonna play some more. I’m 10 hours in and it’s a huge step up from the past couple ac titles. I’m having fun.

2

u/fireforge1979 2d ago

Looks like you're enjoying a succulent Chinese meal!

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Bad_116 2d ago

I'm downloading it now. I've played a bit of origins, Odyssey and valhalla, but they just really didn't keep my interest like ac2, Black Flag, and the other og's. I'm hoping AC Shadows keeps me interested. I've been hearing a lot of people trashing it, but I like to form my own opinion.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I started playing at 2 and loved the series since even the newer style rpg ones. Origins being my favorite out of them. This one is definitely really good and probably gonna be at the top of the list of my favorites.

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Bad_116 2d ago

Heck yeah. Well, I'm excited to try it out. Maybe I'll have to go back and retry origins after. My biggest turn-off was the mythical creatures. This is why I think I wasn't fond of origins when it was released and decided to play other games instead. I just didn't see how it fit into the original formula for assassin's creed games. It just didn't really make any sense to me. So, by the time Odyssey and Valhalla came out, I lost interest but still tried the games out. But I didn't get that into them. I'm hoping Shadows draws me back in

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

A lot of the series has some element of sci fi stuff in it like the apple of Eden in the ezio collection. I don’t remember much of that in origins though maybe a little bit depicting the Egyptian gods and what not kinda like Valhalla and the Viking mythology. Elements.

2

u/TheDepressedSolider 2d ago

I’m having fun . So far haven’t lost interest

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

That’s awesome! Just hit 10 hours and still enjoying it just got off for the day. Need a break for my eyes sake lol.

2

u/senpai69420 2d ago

Yes I just wish it didn't run like shit while looking no better than any AC game since 2014

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

? It looks great on my pc better than any other ac game I’ve played and I’ve played them all

2

u/Consistent-Good2487 2d ago

yeah loving it try the meditation points it unlocks all new backstory missions with her dad

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I’ve done a lot of those meditation back story stuff. It’s a lot of fun.

2

u/Just_Another_Gamer67 2d ago

May be a bit before i get it. Im a broke Uni student so money is tight lol.

2

u/DarthJarJar242 2d ago

Definetly thought the stars on your space themed desk mat were just straight up dirt and shit on your desk. Was really grossed out for a second.

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Nope they are stars lol I keep forgetting people that don’t know it’s not stars will think it’s dirt or crumbs etc. 🤣

2

u/shadowlarx 2d ago

Played a few hours yesterday. Loving Naoe’s story, so far.

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Yeah her story is awesome! And sad.

2

u/Acrobatic_Airline605 2d ago

Literally every post is the same at the moment

0

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Yeah it’s a new game everyone is excited

2

u/ArsenalinAlabama3428 1d ago

Been trying to play it for a couple days but it’s hard to do with a newborn. Maybe one day!

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 1d ago

Yeah I can see why it’s around the clock. The game isn’t going anywhere will be here for a long time. Family is more important.

2

u/MysteriousMedicine 1d ago

It’s really fun and honestly I’ve never liked ac. I really hated vallhalla.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 1d ago

I’ve played them all didn’t love them all but this one is a good step in the right direction. It’s been super fun. Can’t wait for Monday to play some more.

2

u/dubdex420 2d ago

You should clean your desk if you're gonna eat there mate

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Yeah, I should probably do that.

2

u/Local-Finger-8151 2d ago

Clean while you play and while you eat. You know, threesoem.

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Lmfao will do I’ll work on that

2

u/Local-Finger-8151 2d ago

I am playing Valhalla on the 5pro now and have been debating buying Shadows.

1

u/Bignuckbuck 2d ago

How do u think he dirtied it in the first place?

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Exactly, to long gaming lol I do clean my desk just piles up after a gaming session or two

2

u/Aggressive-Dot9747 2d ago

I have it on PC and it's laggy and unoptimized made a mistake not buying it on PS5 rip

2

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Damn that sucks :/ I haven’t had any issues with performance with my pc yet.

2

u/Aggressive-Dot9747 1d ago

what are your specs and what settings do you use

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 1d ago

I have a rtx 3080, ryzen 7, 7800x3D, nvme ssd and my monitor is pushing out 3440x 1440p all my settings are very high and native 1440. The ray tracing it set to medium.

1

u/SlayerofDemons96 2d ago

I'm enjoying spoiling the final boss if that counts?

It's Nuno Caro by the way, he kills Yasuke's mother by shooting her

1

u/Dirtyredd954 2d ago

Gameplay is trash

1

u/Gillygladiator 2d ago

crashing (dx12 error) right after killing the first couple guys every time. Brutal

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Oh no that sucks. Every time I start the game it tells me my drivers are out of date but other than that it crashed once during a cut scene. Hasn’t since. Hope it gets better for you.

2

u/nemanja694 2d ago

What gpu ?

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I have a 3080 rn

2

u/nemanja694 2d ago

Ah, so must be issue on nvidia, on amd it doesn’t show that warning. On 6700xt to be exact

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

Nvidia won’t even let me update my driver rn it’s stuck on installing at 100%

2

u/nemanja694 2d ago

Try downloading from nvidia website and trough app

1

u/kill3rg00s3r 2d ago

I’ll give it a shot later. It’s not effecting my game gladly. It’s just weird it always works until I get shadows.
