I think nightmare mode combat and stealth should have been released with the base game. completely changed how I play Naoe. Before I only played as Naoe because she could tank a few hits and her katana was op. now she dies in 2 hits and all out combat with her is not viable. so I use her to sneak in castles, disable alarms, assassinate easy prey and then I switch to Yasuke to come in and clear out the remaining enemies. he can actually tank a few hits even in nightmare mode.

I don't know, that sounds like such a fucking slog, extending the gameplay of an already 100 hour game for another 50 just because of these shenanigans that you fuck up the janky stealth, you get 1shot, ggs. Fuck that, the gameplay is not even remotely fun enough to endure that kind of nonsense.

I'll never understand why faggots just get on and say retarded lies. Is this what you zoomer faggots think trolling is?
The games a failure, and it's for 3 major reasons.
1: Valhalla was a shitshow that barely worked on PC.
2: Mirage was an insult to games by being told flat to their face its oldschool (with shit like instakill cutscene bs etc)
3: Love the big lipped retarded nigger, RACIST.

it feels more satisfying to me. I like the sim aspect of being an assassin. I don't use map markers - just the notes and clues I get to manually track down targets. I actually familiarize myself with a region so I can sus out potential locations where a target could reside. I also have the hud turned off and don't use eagle vision. it feels so rewarding to actually find a target and take them out without any handholding. often times I have to take any chance I get to kill a target, which often results in me having to book it while every guard in the castle is chasing me and the alarm gongs are going off in the distance. it's just the best feeling

Why are you racists like this, just don't play as the black guy.
>Remembers the game opens as the black guy
WAIT NO-

>"Just beat it BTW :)"
>Doesn't post a screenshot.

Sigh, yet another jeet shill thread.

>>723199132
I thought I wanted no handholding hud turn off full immersion in Valhalla, but all it did was turn the game even more tedious with no actual enjoyment added by doing it this way. So I'm not really sure how exactly it would be different in Shadows. What you describe sounds nice, but I have feeling it's actually way more pain in the ass than you describe.

WOOOOOOOOOOW DOOD

Real talk, no Memery, no bs- how annoying were the Yasuke sequences?

>>723197347 (OP)
sounds like a ubisoft game

Right? So that's why I don't believe the guy that it's sunshine and rainbows.

I would play a game where we play as his brother Kunta Kinte and assassinate slave owner whites and KKK members.

>>723199510
you have to be a bit of an autist to want to do this. it's not really for everyone. the one advantage that shadows has is that the stealth and parkouring is improved a lot (although imo you have to turn stealth difficulty to nightmare to fully get the most out of it) so there is some level of skill expression with how you play and manage your build. in normal mode your build doesn't really matter and stealth is stupid easy

>>723199630
I laughed out loud when I first played as him because you're just going around slaughtering an entire village of shinobis like you're the hulk. I thought the sequence with him defending Nobunaga from Naoe (and then helping him commit seppuku) was pretty kino but after that he stops being an interesting character and basically becomes a typical honorabru samurai which is so fucking boring

Tsushima is almost just as boring but atleast it has somewhat enjoyable combat and beautiful locations, Rise of the Ronin has the best gameplay but shittiest locations with the shittiest graphics

>a nigger
welp good thing you said this so i can completely ignore all those valid criticisms checkmade chud
IGN: 10/10

>>723199132
You make the game sound interesting but I would still rather go for something like Rise of the Ronin if I'm in the mood for open world historical Japan thing, Assassin's Creed gameplay is just too tedious.

>>723200486
yeah it's a shame that they turned the series into a checklist simulator because I really enjoy the assassin theme but I basically have to ignore the game and roleplay in my head with my own rules to get any enjoyment

The one I want to play keeps crashing to desktop every 30-60 minutes. The one I don't want to play works fine.
I hate ubisoft so much.

>It's just ok
>Spend 70 dollars, goy
For 70 dollars, "ok" might as well be pig shit. If that's your best, your best is garbage.
If you want to raise the prices of your games, that's fine. But the quality better reflect that.
>It's the same exact games for the past 10 years, with no improvements to graphics, AI, combat, stealth, or story.
See, that's going to be a no from me, big dawg.

Because it's not really built for that, Tsushima is actually built for no hud but that requires a little more effort than Ubislop is willing, not that much more though Tsushima only has better gameplay and slightly better story but it's Ubislop aswell

How do you even tolerate the damage sponges in Nightmare when they're already damage sponges in easy? They shouldve allowed us to customize damage for us and the enemies, killing fast and dying fast wouldve made the combat actually fun

I have a combat assassin build for Naoe. it lets me perform an assassination in combat albeit with a long cooldown. I also have an ability that freezes time and lets me assassinate 2 people. with this build, I can start combat with 2 enemies already dead, I use my combat assassination on one more guy, then I use my kusarigama ability to knock down an enemy and do a downed attack which removes 2 health segments which usually kills the smaller enemies. at this point if enemies are remaining I run away and hide. I had to make this particular build because combat with Naoe is not viable in nightmare mode so I had to be creative.

With Yasuke, he does a lot of unblockable damage and can shred through mooks so it's just a matter of playing the typical soulslike combat to quickly defeat smaller enemies and then focusing on the tankier ones, which can be a slog and not my preferred playstyle. but with nightmare combat I actually do have to use him instead of Naoe in some situations where stealth isn't possible

This was actually the original pitch for assassins creed, like word for word. The entire series was conceived around frantic parkour chases

>>723201810
That sounds like an extremely boring way to play but then again playing it correctly is also boring

This literally did everything Ghost does but better. Everything. Arguably the only drawback is there's too much content. You've raided one castle/fort, you've raided them all. This game was definitely judged too harshly.

>>723199360
You play Yasuke for like 5 minutes and then only Naoe for the next 10-20 hours or so depending how fast you advance the main plot.

It got annoying always switching to naoe for the grappling hook

Isnt checklist simulator the entire video game medium? Every argument I've heard about this game has been the broadest most generic critiques ever that can be applied to every game since the dawn of time
