    The word 'seems' is doing a lot of work in that tweet. I will believe it when I see it.

    At a guess, I'd say you find levels at a base level or your own level, and you upgrade them, but upgrading will require materials, materials which will be scarce and require grinding, but you can buy packs of materials for money as a "timesaver".

    Yea, that article seems to be a bit confused. Lootboxes and gear weren't really the problem in AC:O, it was the XP system and putting storyline quests behind level gates that were the problem.

    I know they said they would address this somehow but I don't believe for a second they won't monetise it in some other way instead. As much as I liked Odyssey, I found that stuff really annoying.

    There's half an hour's worth of leaked gameplay footage doing the rounds this evening. At the time of posting, DSOG has it.

    Taken down now, how was it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,864 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Saw bits of it, combat was similar to Odyssey in that you can map abilities to buttons. It was an early build but I'd say we will get proper gameplay during the Ubisoft Forward showcase on Sunday

    Whats the story with your man leaving?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,882 ✭✭✭tusk


    I wouldn't say Ashraf leaving will have a huge effect. The game is already practically done at this stage.

    Yea it is just gonna be months of bug-squashing at this point. Creatively the game is done.

    i dunno, seems like he likes to spread his love around

    Assassin's Creed: The Witcher, by the looks of those leaks.

    There was a bang of Velen from the setting.

    I haven't seen so much as a screenshot but surely they should have been aiming for Skellige not Velen

    Skellige was mountainous, whereas Velen was bleak and flat, which is probably closer to medieval England


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,864 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Watch it here before it gets taken down. Also please note that it's probably an early build

    Skill tree and inventory show up around 27 minutes into video

    Or Offaly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,157 ✭✭✭Markitron


    Or Offaly.

    Lol.

    Still holding out hope that Ireland shows up in this game at some point.

    You try to sail West from England and there's just a giant blockade of ships with signs saying "G'way ta f*ck!"

    itll just look the same as the rest of the map really, i hope they make it a tight map that doesnt need hours of pointless crap pumped into it so you get to go everywhere

    Heres looking at you Odyssey

    Yea. Odyseey's map itself was great, but Ubisoft need to learn the value of an empty space and not put filler content every 10m.

    Don't worry, the fella who voiced Shay Cormac is now a waiter! :D

    Whatever that was it's been pulled.

    I'm guessing it is the leaked footage of a boss fight. It looked very similar to Odyssey, not that that is a bad thing

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,570 ✭✭✭JimBurnley



    Cheers for posting.

    As said above, looks like Odyssey with a different coat, not gonna be any big gameplay breakthroughs. But I loved Odyssey so looking forward to this


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,363 ✭✭✭recyclops


    Yeah too much like odyssey for my liking. Will grab on sale
