When you get attention to detail like the slip step onto the ice, you can feel the devs efforts behind a project. This one might hit among the best of the AC series.
Putting the controversy aside, the gameplay does look pretty good. Having 2 different playable protagonists like Syndicate isn't actually a bad idea, but I hated the idea of Valhalla & Odyssey. I think Male Eivor is better off being as the main protagonist and having Kassandra being the main protagonist in AC Odyssey.
Kassandra is the canon choice in odyssey an i agree with u male eivor was a million times better than female eivor but i learn to love her cigarette voice talking ass 🤦🏽♂️
AC are my favorite podcast games (due to the sheer amount of stuff one can do on the map following the campaign) and I can't wait to put my hands on this one as well
@@ReforgeGaming You know, games with a lot of busy work that can be played without thinking too much while listening Reforge Gaming in the background for example
Yeah I agree to a certain extent with the people just flock with the hate BUT Ubisoft hasn’t done much in recent years to help ease fans distaste so it’s abit of both I’d say
So many that didn’t even play any assassins creed too, saying that every game had a native from the country it was set in when Edward wasn’t from the Caribbean, Ezio wasn’t from Constantinople and eivor wasn’t English and conveniently forgetting about naoe or saying that Ac was always historically accurate before shadows when in the last game you can fight Odin with a Excalibur , ubishit did make a lot of mistakes too like the tori gate, the stupid comments and general distrust from failed games like outlaws and skull and bones but instead of criticizing gameplay people are more pressed we play as a black guy and a woman that’s so stupid
People are hating on the game because they can't trust Ubisoft after these past 4 years. Rn it just seems like they're just trying to pour as much as they can into the game, after almost releasing some BS that they truly believed was going to sale. They didn't put any passion into Outlaws, they didn't put any passion into skull and bones, and from watching the game play before the previously anticipated release, they didn't put any passion into Shadows neither. The only thing that they put passion into was the environment and the fact that you can bump into and break stuff in your surroundings. We don't care about that, we care about a good assassins creed game. A good story, lovable characters, amazing combat, and AC stealth. So the hate is definitely justifiable. Once sucker punch released the trailer for Ghost of Yotei, I find it very ironic that they pushed back the release date. Sucker punch has already done what AC fans been asking for after almost 20 years. Its kind of too late now, and they need to start packing up they bags cause its going to flop if they don't make anymore changes.
I mean, I would definitely disagree with that statement. I still think the game doesn’t look that good compared to something like ghost of Tashima. I guarantee the game is gonna be over bloated just like all the recent assassin’s creed games, and the story will be pretty lackluster. This is coming from a fan of assassins Creed who’s played the franchise since the first game on the 360. My personal favorite games out of the entire franchise have to be a tossup between black flag or origins.
I really wish we would be seeing this first and foremost on the official trailers, but this game is heading in the right direction. I'm really liking what I'm seeing so far.
Random question but how do you feel about Chris Barrett, husband to Sarah Daniels suing bungie and being accused of nasty things. Isn’t it beautifully ironic that Sarah orchestrated a malicious attack against you and now her husband is being dealt the same cards. Love you Lono still disgusted with how that whole situation worked out
I’m so tired of the ghost comparisons ghost is not supposed a monopoly in the samurai genre so I don’t know why people have ghost in a high standard the game is a Ubisoft game also and shadows looks to have more variety in gameplay and mechanics than ghost
@ I love ghost also buts my problem is people act like it’s the best samurai game for them and nothing else can top it even though imo it does the bare minimum.
Definitely agree on that part shakes world is gonna be beautiful so many npc ronins an samurai’s walking around bounty hunters the world is gonna feel alive
I’m so impatient to get my hands on this game. I was already hyped when they released the first gameplay and WAY MORE now that they’re actually polishing the game. I’m actually happy that Ubisoft is now taking good decisions, due to the SW Outlaws failure unfortunately for the game. W UBISOFT, just bring us back Far Cry and Splinter Cell (even a 5 seconds trailer) and I’ll be the happiest man alive
I'm intrigued by AC Shadows; it looks impressive! However, I can't help but think about how Valhalla and Mirage turned out. I'm approaching the upcoming releases with cautious optimism. It will be interesting to see if they can improve immersion and mechanics this time, as those aspects significantly affect the overall gameplay experience. I'm hopeful they will take meaningful steps forward!
CO-OP!!! I haven’t been really into Ubisoft games since Watch Dogs 2. But this one looks really promising! I’m still gonna wait a few weeks after it comes out for the honest reviews to drop before I decide if I buy it.
My other half has been waiting oh so patiently for this game. If they add co-op and we're able to play it together it would only add to the excitement. Finding games that we can play together that aren't board games, card games or another version of Overcooked or something is so hard to do! Bring on the co-op!
Oh boy, that samurai feels like a heavy unit. It might make sense from the gameplay perspective, but it might give wrong ideas about samurai to those who are less clued up.
Assassins Creed is my favorite game series of all time, and the games that have dropped after syndicate have just been so bad. They completely abandoned what made ac special and it really looks like they’re trying with this one. I couldn’t be more excited for it. It looks almost perfect so far but of course we have to remain skeptical with their recent track record
Samurai and Ninja. In the AssCreed Universe. You can be forgiven for finding yourself on the hype train. The influence from Ghost of Tsushima is clear. Imitation, flattery, yada yada. I'm waiting for final reviews to make a decision, but there's plenty of potential here.
My only critique of the combat is enemy reactions. It’s either non existent or over the top, I want to see the bad ass composure of two warriors regathering them selves when knocked off there center from a parry, dodge, or strike.
The guy playing it put it on easy an he didn’t do no experiment with the combat he just play it like a newbo while if it was me I would of made this game look so badass the way I play Valhalla an odyssey I make it look good
@@ReforgeGaming a big release coming and you having to say "there is hope" in what world does that happen! You would never see "there is hope" for a rockstar release (maybe their updates idk)
The thing with Valhalla was everyone thought the trailers looked cool but the game sucked because the setting was dull and boring and the story wasn’t good. For shadows I already know it’ll be a fun game because I love that setting and everything they have shown. We just need to pray the story is good and it’ll be a great game
It's an easy solution... Don't preorder games ever again (stop giving them your money for free) wait until game releases then block any and all game review companies (IGN, gamespot ect..) wait for regular everyday gamers to get it and stream/put out independent reviews .. then make a decision.. rinse and repeat for any and all games from now on
Ehhh idk I fell asleep on my second playthrough but I stay up an energize through my three playthrough with ac odyssey an I miss work to beat the DLCs an I haven’t thought bout ghost since I fell asleep on it
soooooooooo...did Elon Musk buy them out or did someone catch them as they were falling after the wax wings melted, and they used the second chance to the fullest?
Neither, no one bought them and the closest people to buying them is both Sony and Tencent, trust me when I say if your mad at this Sony and Tencent will be much worst 😂
Well I'm people and I'm getting it looks good I'm not gonna pass up a good game because of feelings and propaganda, otherwise I'd have never played Cyberpunk which was also fantastic
@ don’t know about that Lono. Looks pretty copy cat to me. Bar the RPG elements. The combat just looks like the janky version of ghost. Still on the fence with this one
@@HeyZeus95 if you just want the samurai part of it sure, but the stealth, parkour and overall environnement looks way more alive than just a few settlements with 2-3 villagers in it. here we have actual populated cities and castles

I feel like there's not enough conversation about the flair of Yasuke clearing and sheathing his katana in 3:57. So smooth, I could watch it all day
When you get attention to detail like the slip step onto the ice, you can feel the devs efforts behind a project. This one might hit among the best of the AC series.
agreed!
Not if the story is as poor as the last two
After walking away from this game once, this new gameplay has me reconsidering checking it out. Hopefully we see more at the Game Awards.
yeah! the game awards would be a good spot
Putting the controversy aside, the gameplay does look pretty good. Having 2 different playable protagonists like Syndicate isn't actually a bad idea, but I hated the idea of Valhalla & Odyssey.

💯
Great channel. This video made me subscribe right away
they definitely increased quality of combat and looks really satisfying
agreed! ac shadows gameplay is shaping up nicely
Game looks pretty sick imo definitely a day one for me
Same!
great insight sir. suscribed
Thanks! Appreciate the support!
as an og assassin's creed fan i'll be playing Naoe and using the hidden blade only
It really looks like this game might have the best stealth of any ac yet. Going for perfect stealth is always so satisfying
AC are my favorite podcast games (due to the sheer amount of stuff one can do on the map following the campaign) and I can't wait to put my hands on this one as well
podcast game?

Ghost wasn't even all that good parkor was trash only good thing about ghost is the combat @@Faceplay2
I'm just happy the Hidden Blade is used as a combat weapon again with the Katana, and it's a swivel blade like from ACIII
This is gonna be awesome!
I really wish we would be seeing this first and foremost on the official trailers, but this game is heading in the right direction. I'm really liking what I'm seeing so far.
yeah these are actually weird unlisted videos on the ubisoft channel, so strange

I wonder if Naoe is the same Japanese assassin at the end of the Ezio Anime from years ago?
that would be cool
No that would be Shao jun a Chinese master assassin from AC chronicles: china
I’m so tired of the ghost comparisons ghost is not supposed a monopoly in the samurai genre so I don’t know why people have ghost in a high standard the game is a Ubisoft game also and shadows looks to have more variety in gameplay and mechanics than ghost
ghost is peak tho, thats why folks compare

@@karemali6941 Agree
Definitely agree on that part shakes world is gonna be beautiful so many npc ronins an samurai’s walking around bounty hunters the world is gonna feel alive
Ghost is just bettdr with combat and beside yusuke is no samurai just a kosho
Yes agree, I think the replayability will be good cause of the vast differences of the characters

I appreciate the detailed analysis of the combat. I don’t look at trailers with that much of a discerning eye.
thank you! i enjoyed making this
That co-op is going to slap! I can't wait to play this with my wife!
same
ya i’m so tried of the hate and negativity! shadows is gonna be fire!!!
I was never not excited for this game, I can't wait. Might have to wait to play until I'm done with Avowed, though.
yeah it looks really good, even better now
CO-OP!!! I haven’t been really into Ubisoft games since Watch Dogs 2. But this one looks really promising! I’m still gonna wait a few weeks after it comes out for the honest reviews to drop before I decide if I buy it.
want co-op in more games
They definitely need to bring back the co op missions from AC Unity. It’s the best feature AC has ever created and it was only used for one game :/
I wonder if Naoe is the same Japanese assassin at the end of the Ezio Anime from years ago
No, that was a Chinese Assassin by the name of Shao Jun.
I’m looking forward to playing as the Shinobi girl Naoe…! ❤
The combat looks really fun and fluid!
Awesome 👍 good job 👍 I have just joined your channel and we are connected now 🙂
So far gameplay look good but they have yet to show us how yasuke look like when he climb

yup! i want more action adventure open world co-op games!
Combat looks insanely good. Just hope the open world and story keeps this quality
Honestly rdy to give it the go like all other AC titles I’ve played and platinum’d the fair shake.

sub here for my gameplay and thoughts!
Zero trust in Ubisoft, think I will wait a couple of years
understandable
To me, ghost of Tashima still looks like the far superior samurai game
if u just want samurai, then i agree
Ehhh idk I fell asleep on my second playthrough but I stay up an energize through my three playthrough with ac odyssey an I miss work to beat the DLCs an I haven’t thought bout ghost since I fell asleep on it
Go woke, go broke❤
I think you know exactly that the boycot for this game is not about the gameplay. Saying that the gameplay is good will not change our minds on it.
probably true
But the game is still gone sell like hot cakes though assassins creed is a big IP
The gameplay looks good but it will be filled with dumb ai and glitches that ruin the experiience
soooooooooo...did Elon Musk buy them out or did someone catch them as they were falling after the wax wings melted, and they used the second chance to the fullest?
Neither, no one bought them and the closest people to buying them is both Sony and Tencent, trust me when I say if your mad at this Sony and Tencent will be much worst 😂
Kind of annoyed that I can't be a male ninja...
Same it takes away from my Ryu Hayabusa open world fantasy that I always wanted
Hopefully tencent made them pull it and take out the woke crap before they buy ubisoft.
if not its a dead game.
nope people have already checked out it will flop and it will deserve it
