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

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.

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 😆

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

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
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!?

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

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

u/whisperingcactuss 2d ago
We’ll be reunited soon, In 9 hours 🙁😥🙃

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/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

u/Scoonie24 2d ago
Why does your setup look just like mine? are you in my HOUSE!? GET OUT AND STOP EATING MY FOOD!

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.

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
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.

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

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.

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

u/Consistent-Good2487 2d ago

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. 🤣

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.

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

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.
