Assassin's Creed Megathread

AC Mirage release brought forward a week to 5th October

I usually buy the physical releases from the Ubi online store, but they don't have one for Mirage.

You can buy it physical from Amazon, but not Ubi 😆

I used to buy it cos I could get 20% off with 100 coins and then have something to trade in down the road.

Now their 20% off policy no longer includes pre-orders or games up to 3 months old!

Screw it, I'll just buy it digital with my xbox reward points then 👍

You could always subscribe to Ubisoft Plus on Xbox for a month and play Mirage that way.

I just don't think the value is there on the xbox Ubisoft plus.

They should think of an xbox only cheaper tier, instead of lumping it in with PC users, when xbox people might not have PCs.

I do, but that's beside the point, I think at €18 per month, it's probably a massive flop!

The burning question in my mind for a few years now, is how have they not done the Roman Empire?

Dcully · 16-08-2023 10:56AM

I enjoyed Odyssey the most but im so sick of Ubisofts open world games.

Potential-Monke · 16-08-2023 07:19PM

Do what they did with Immortals Fenyx Rising, but in a proper AC game, ie: make it fun. Lots of game devs seem to think removing fun for realism is better. I think not. Mirage will be an interesting one.

I think the opposite. I'm playing Kingdom Come deliverance and Odyssey and all the time I wish KCD had the visusal fluidity and map size of Odyssey and that that had the map realism of KCD.

Potential-Monke · 18-08-2023 07:18PM

Each to their own and all that. I want my games to be entertaining, reminding me of real life is not entertaining! Which is why I didn't get very far in KCD. But I loved my 100+ hours in Odyssey. I wanna be the badass, not the struggling one.

Assassin's Creed Mirage will be out next week on the 5th of October.

marcbrophy · 27-09-2023 11:19PM

Nice one, have it pre-ordered!

Might book the 6th off work 😁

I pre-ordered it a while back. It will also be the first time I play an Assassin's Creed game on my Playstation.

My AC library is across PS, XB and PC! With many duplicates, even triplicates haha!

Help me, I've got a problem 😆

Enjoy! I remember the buzz I got loading up AC Valhalla on my new ps5 ! Walking around staring at visuals than playing missions 😂

Potential-Monke · 28-09-2023 07:27PM

I don't know what it is, but I just can't get excited for this one. Not sure what it is. Loved Origins and Odyssey is my favourite of the series, but Valhalla fell flat for me. Will wait for some feedback on it first. Saying that, I'm off that week so I may just cave and buy it and hope for the best! If I get bored of Cyberpunk before then.

Jordan 199 · 04-10-2023 08:05AM

My copy of Mirage will be here tomorrow 😎

Same as that ie Odyssey was my favourite but I simply couldn't warm to ACV. I'll definitely play ACM but will probably wait a few months for it to come down in price.

EoinMcLovin · 04-10-2023 11:45AM

Reviews are out, seems to be getting mainly 7 or 8s

Excellent, can't wait for it!

marcbrophy · 04-10-2023 03:10PM

Anyone in New Zealand on console can play this now ;)

Or midnight tonight if you can't be bothered! :)

brady12 · 04-10-2023 09:41PM

I was hoping for better reviews but I read and listened to a couple reviewers I trust and there's enough there that I think I will like it . Never played Valhalla , only played 5 hours odyssey & would like get back to it plus I paid €4 or something for syndicate on steam deck and been meaning start it so would feel bad jumping them to get this but will see tomorrow..

Jordan 199 · 05-10-2023 01:32PM

My copy arrived this morning.

marcbrophy · 05-10-2023 01:43PM

I'd have enjoyed that map, but I couldn't get the physical version from Ubi and spent some xbox points on the digital version instead!

Enjoy :)

When I saw the edition that had the map of baggy daddy, I had to go for it.

Jordan 199 · 06-10-2023 07:18AM

I started playing this last night. Loved creeping up on enemies, knocking them out and throwing their bodies in haystacks.

brady12 · 06-10-2023 11:36AM
