    Finished this the other day, really enjoyed it. Ton of side quests and question marks left but I sold it to CEX for 42 cash (paid 60) so definitely got value for my 18 quid! It could really do with a sequel like Brotherhood. Have a HQ that you build up and run missions from multiple cities around the world (smaller maps) while recruiting members. Just not sure what would be a good year to set it in.

    **** no. Would have tried if I was keeping onto it but the cex value was too good to pass up.

    I just cannot get into this. Huge fan of AC but this has done less than AC3 so far.

    The two story DLCs sound great, really enjoyed completing this game so would love more.

    €40 for the season pass though, think I'll wait for reviews/sale.

    Really enjoyed this up until the last sequence.
    Well done on progressing your character to level 40 and getting loads of Legendary gear. Now we are going to force you to finish the game with a shoehorned naval sequence and play the last few land missions as Aya.

    The level cap for the new areas appears to be 55.

    Anyone know if you can go past 40 now? :)

    45 is the cap on the first expansion and 55 is for the second I believe.

    No but you could buy credit in Argos or Gamestop with them I'd imagine.

    Can't confirm that point I'm afraid, maybe the cap will lift anyway as a new mission has been added to lead into the expansion...

    Was just curios!
    I guess without the expansions, you won't need to be at the higher levels.

    Well I bought this week but sadly I'm just not into it. I think I'm just over the open world style games there mind numbling boring to me now I tried sticking to the main missions but they want you to level up before you proceed no thanks.

    Graphics hdr 4k is all excellent it looks stunning.

    I really wish they would try a new feature for games like this to streamline the story missions to make it seem more linear I'm going to trade it back in tomorrow and get my money back so no loss overall :)

    Agree so much on the linear story quests. A lot of the time I felt I was just wanting my time with all of the side quests. Would be great if they could be more Incorporated into the main missions.

    yep running to and from mission checkpoints is so tedious.

    horizon I did beat just because it was a brand new IP with a new character and great crossbow gameplay

    the crossbow in this game is crap compared to horizon and tomb raider though

    It was tedious enough when you had to level up for main story missions, I think what kept me going though was the beautiful scenery and how good a job they did recreating ancient Egypt.

    It really is, but I anytime I play I get cravings to jump back into Black flag. Still remember how astonished I was when I first loaded it up and how gorgeous it was.

    I'll pick up the DLC later in the week. I enjoyed the game so don't mind going back for more. They can keep their season pass though. DLC is 9.99 and there's another story DLC later , likely same price. Season pass is 40 with a fair bit of pointless filler.

    The second DLC Curse of the Pharaohs is $20 so most likely €20. Still cheaper to get both separately if the other extras in the season pass aren’t of interest.

    Started the hidden ones last night more of the same so far just tougher enemies and more of them. Bayek does get updated clothing that’s a bit more “Assassin” like than the main games. Up to level 42 after only 3 quests as they award 12,000 XP per quest. Level 45 should take no time at all.

    I assumed the Hidden ones was gonna be €20 based on the season pass price, picked it up now for €9.99 don't mind that price at all :)

    The Hidden Ones I believe is based a bit after the end of the main campaign. Continues the story a bit. I'd say they're warey about what DLC they will throw out now, as they have built a fantastic foundation for another Ezio quality trilogy. But I haven't played the DLC, so don't know how that will pan out.
