Ain’t no way that shit beating the legendary top 5: Altair, Ezio, Edward, Connor, Haytham. It is possible she lands in top 10, possibly top 7, but then again she might not make top 15.
IF you ever pre order a ubisoft game either you are born dumb or actually mentally challenged , they just laid off 190 devs , selling their company and you expect they will care about this game bro if you wanna buy it , wait for two months , game will be half price on epic and ps store but if you wanna waste money go for it
something I have heard repeatedly from different creators its that most of the stealth mechanics are not used to its fullest complexity and most say its about the level of the game difficulty. In normal the guards don't look up the roofs and you could be on full visibility or the shadows don`t really play much of a factor, or the shortcuts trough secret doors or small windows don't really offer that much in the stealth department. But on expert difficulty, you have to go prone on the roof to no be noticed, you must be aware of the shadows, you must use your tools and be aware of your steps, so they recommend placing the stealth on expert for a more immersive experience.
Her gameplay matches what a perfect assassin is to me, her 3 combat weapons are absolutely fitting and brutal. As for stealth, it looks amazing, I love her quick parkour and flips as well as her fast assassinations and 4 useful tools. However according to IGN, they haven’t seen many opportunities to use the light/shadow system. What also worries me that no one has mentioned is that are we even going to be able to assassinate main targets stealthily? As the one in the preview was a boss (without a corridor as well) Lastly, while I’m absolutely interested in Naoe, I really want to explore Yasuke’s story and occasionally dip into his combat
I'm mainly excited to see Naoe learn about her heritage. Naoe was clearly raised and trained by ninjas, but she seems oblivious to anything related to The Brotherhood. I think part of her arc will be about discovering her dual linage as both a ninja and an Assassin, and using that knowledge to rebuild the Brotherhood in the form of the Hideout and League systems.
you know what's surprising watching how a lot of youtubers react to being spotted or ambushed in Shadows? how they instantly switch to combat. why? you're an Assassin, run and hide and try a different approach. out of all the RPG games we've had so far i absolutely adored clearing forts with Bayek in Origins and there are some huge forts in that game. took me ages as i methodically killed and hid every single body, but i had so much fun. i can't wait to do the same with Naoe.
"Does this person really need to die?" is such a great thing to prompt the player into thinking in an AC game! That shows some good game design and interesting potential for the story. Naoe is so cool, I'm excited to find out more about her character, I really hope reluctance to kill unnecessarily is part of her story and not just gameplay. As a girl I'm happy that Naoe is the protagonist with a more classic AC feel, since I enjoy that style more than the new AC style that Yasuke embodies
I can't wait for your no/minimal hud, max difficulty stealth gameplay overview! Finding out how dynamic the enemies can be, how engaging/immersive and rewarding figuring out how to play with no enemy markers will be great! The stealth to me will be the biggest highlight of this game!
@@TheSpaniardAssassin I’ve noticed something that can kind of fix the clunky feel of combat. I think it comes from the drag of Yasukes as well as enemy attacks. Naoe is already pretty fast with everything she does so she is fine, but for Yasukes and every enemies attacks, they need to be sped up a-bit more. I’ve tried to simulate this by watching multiple combat videos at 1.25 speed and it looks more fluid. Except for Naoe, she’s too fast at that speed. I honestly think this can really help that clunky feel. Enemies feel/look so much better, even just their regular and especially their flurry attacks, actually feel fluid and will feel satisfying to continuously parry. UBI seemed to intentionally slow things down to make it really easy to perfect block/parry but that hurts the fluidity and satisfaction of it more. Add the slow mo effect when you do so and it all just seems off. All attacks and blocks for both Yasuke and every enemy needs to be sped up. Try and watch at 1.25 speed, especially Yasukes combat and ignore the ridiculous high speed of everything else except Yasukes and enemies attacks, blocks, parry’s and counters. It’s almost as though that should be the default speed.
@TheSpaniardAssassin dont you agree? I mean, that Yasuke tank samurai is completely random and nonses in the Assassins creed context. The gameplay with him seems to be a completely different game. I hope that there exist an option in the game which allows us to play the entire game just with Naoe
If I'm being honest, I was originally against this game. However, seeing actual gameplay has turned me around. If (or lets be honest, when) I get the game, I'll be thrilled to play as a shinobi. From what I've seen, Naoe's gameplay seems very fun and enjoyable.
@@Sruohnayn You can play Codename Jade if you want lol In all seriousness though, I will never get to play the full 3D game as Shao Jun. So I can relate to the pain of broken dreams.
Same here bro. Idk about you, but the hair physics is on a level that's unseen in the AC franchise and it makes her look even better. I also want to know who's driving her or who's reliving her memories, aka who's the modern day protagonist. Is it gonna be the same person who also controls Yasuke or is it another modern day character?
I want Naoe to be a Connor Kenway-esque character in terms of personality and characteristion, obviously adjusted a bit for a different cultural context. In addition, we really need a Charles Lee level antagonist for this game. Overall I just want the best parts of Assassin's Creed 3's narrative for this game. I am intending to buy the AC Shadows novel adaptation too, if it gets published.
It's sad people saying that new stealth in shadows is the same as it was + they don't rly undrestand anything and just want to hate on this game, while saying it is the same as valhalla or odyssey xd
Finally someone who hyper analyzed stealth and the aspect of becoming a successful assassin, it’s not about how many body you drop a lot of the times but how effective your mission was carried out dropping bodies can lead to guards finding them alarms being raised and countless numbers of deaths you have to be keen on each step and intuitive about your surroundings and ways you attempt your mission yeah deeper thoughts
I’m definitely more interested in Yasuke from a gameplay and story perspective, I want to see how his relationship with Oda Nobunaga is and compare it to Blackthorn and Toranaga from Shogun as it looks kinda similar, Naoe looks very cool too, I think I’ll also play with immersive mode and one-hit assassinations, the stealth just hasn’t been engaging in the rpg trilogy, but this gives me hope.
Maybe. But honestly I find there's a lack of stealth and parkour animations. And parkour....well, it's your normal RPG parkour, which means it doesn't seem all that good
@ I think you're playing the wrong series for realistic, lol. And I mean the games that don't have side ejects have way more unrealistic things, Kassandra literally takes no damage from falls, so idk what you're saying tbh. And I always felt the older games had smoother parkour. It just took a bit to master it. Whereas the RPGs is just holding one button pretty much, which I guess maybe that's what you prefer
I wasn’t sure about this game at first, I really wanted to like it, but I really haven’t liked any of the last few Assassin’s Creed games since like unity… but your videos have actually gotten me pretty excited for shadows!
I'm really excited to play her. I like many have been waiting to play a shinobi character in a AC game since 2007 and now we finally get one. Although I do wish she had a game to herself so we could explore the shinobi style and pop culture more I am still excited with what we got
"I Can't Stop Thinking About Naoe From AC Shadows" i know right we are all at the mercy of our asian fetish..... oh wait he is talking about her gameplay
I was going to say, yeah, the voice actress, not to be rude or anything, but she doesn't sound great. Idk if it was the way they directed her or what, but it really sucked. And comparing it to the Japanese voice actress, it's astounding how different it is and how much better the Japanese version is. I think I would have to play with the immersive mode or else I would end up hating every cutscene with Naoe, lol
@@QuatarTarandir you can see the crazy difference in the story trailer when she attacks yasuke. Her reaction in Japanese and in English is almost two different emotions.
@ I should watch the Japanese version of the trailer, I'll get back to you on that. But even just in normal gameplay, the english sounds just...annoying. Like every line makes me cringe. While the Japenese version sounds cool, calm, and collected like an Assassin. I'm someone who usually plays in English since it's easier, but the difference really changes my mind for this game
@ yeah ikr. The English one where she attacks yasuke is when I realised I was going to play in Japanese. She sounds like she’s speaking through her noise entirely and is REALLY phoned in. It was literally two completely different emotions. English tried to depict anger and Japanese nailed sadness with a hint of rage. I will say though yasukes English voice is better
One of the things I wish they added for this game was for us to have normal looking clothing if we played as Naoe during they day. Thats how it would have been done duting this time period a d would have added a small extra layer of immersion to the game.
3:18 there’s a very minor detail here that struck me like a bullet. The way Shadows lets you climb over onto the “climb-up-able” ledge and climb up in rapid succession is very satisfying to me. In previous games you would have to climb over and then wait a second and then climb up which, admittedly, only took a few seconds, but I think this is a great quality of life change.
I get the feeling that Naoe is the type of character that will not give the best impressions early on (she hasn't), but will grow on people as time goes by. Some of my favorite characters came to be that way.
it really seems like the game has been made with naoe as main character and this really shows the lack of logic behind ubisoft`s decision to introduce yasuke as a playable character instead of making a dlc with him as a protagonist or as a side character like cleopatra who makes u do quests for her or benjamin franklin etc. (i dont care about the stupid culture war)
You're not yearning to play as Naoe, you're yearning to play as an assassin in a game that's supposed to be about assassins. But has instead been about a viking, a soldier, local law enforcement - the medjai. You've forgotten what you had, you've become so excited for this crappy cardboard character you can get. Naoe isn't really interesting beyond that, they made her plain af. She's the key to a possible glimpse into a hidden world of assassins, in feudal japan. Assassin lore feels like something they were all about, that then got scarcer until they wrung it all out.
I really appreciate this kind of reflection with a little distance from the preview event. I also consumed a lot of the content the day the embargo lifted, and it left me with very mixed feelings. I’m hoping a larger city will offer more for parkour than what y’all got to experience at the preview day. I am disappointed though that social stealth has once again been jettisoned. Valhalla brought it back in such a half-assed way, and while it was better in Mirage but just lacked sufficient opportunities, Ubisoft went with their MO of AC games getting rid of things the players love instead of fixing them.
I hope they let us spend most of the game with her, that will determine if I try it or not, I like her for that reason it makes me think of Shao Yun and even today it makes me sad that they have never given us a game like this with her, the voice acting in English does not seem very good especially after having heard the Japanese.
I can't help but think that this was what they wanted to go for in Syndicate way back when. One character who is buff and likes to brawl, while the other is a more traditional, stealthy Assassin. While being not at such extreme ends of the spectrum like it is in this case. If they made the Frye siblings just brother and sister instead of twins, then they might have been able to go further. They were the same age so they were similar in that regard. It would have been interesting if Jacob was older by a larger margin but Evie was much younger and underestimated because of this.
They could have made someone like Hanzo Hattori, who was historically a samurai and rumored to be a ninja, he would have made a great assassin. If they wanted to they could have a descendant of that clan bearing the name itself.
I agree with this video in terms of my excitement with this game. I will be playing on expert to make the stealth portion challenging. Mostly I will play as Naoe but I honestly am excited for Yasuke story as well. He came with Portuguese as a slave that means he is probably from one of the African colonies of Portugal whether it is Mozambique or Angola. Being half Angolan myself I wanna know Yasuke story and I think his gameplay will be a nice way to switch it up the constant stealth gameplay. Sometime I might feel like I just wanna burth through the gate and make damage to these guards. Maybe I just wanna go in there and be brutal and strong and I love that we have a choice to do so. I been watching a lot of AC Shadows content in the past few days and I feel like you guys that get the play the review got It worse than us because now you got teased and have to wait 2 more month just like us. Also can we appreciate the sound design ? This game looks and sounds amazing. Just one question. Does this look like and actual next gen game that we have been waiting for ? and does it run 60 pfs?
Something I'm thinking about which I highly doubt the return of, the foot-blade which was see in AC Chronicles China, which isn't too far off (in time) so it would make sense for Naoe to have it as well as because of the user being a Master Assassin at this time
Combat to me just needs a lil bit of polish, stealth needs some polish with the Ai but yeah naoe is definitely keeping me up at night I love her speed and I’m curious about her story and her Japanese dub is dope too
About being charismatic now, I'm not saying I don't like her character but at the same time, charismatic is not the way I see her. Her personality gives me very high Connor Kenway vibes she's got a goal. She set on doing so and not only that. I think the reason why she's also not charismatic. It's because people want revenge, their first idea is not to be charismatic, I mean, look at Aiden Pierce people with the mindset of revenge don't really care if they're being charismatic, but that's just my opinion.
I just hope it's not bloated. Even if she's amazing, that can't save the game for me. Espeically with how terribly bloated odyssey and valhalla was. Plus i hope they improve her parkour and animations, it doesn't look upto standard. Anyway nice video bro.
Can you use the story context to guide your character choice? That is, can you decide which character "fits" each mission based on the story parameters, environmental factors, etc.?
just watched jorraptors video and apparently there's one proper assassin outfit that you'll be able to find in the world so i know what I'm doing first.
Prediction- Naoe and Yasuke build some kind of friendship or relationship and somehow Yasuke could die do to Oda Nobunaga saying "He may become a legend, or die." and then Naoe going on a rampage orrr starts to build her own brotherhood of assassins. Might be foreshadowing or I'm just looking to into it to far idk. Or, maybe Yasuke decides to go into hiding and live a life of peace in shadows? CHARACTER DEVOLOPMENT COULD BE CRAZY IN THIS GAME (I hope)
Gotta ask u something since I to this day saw nobody doing it but me so do u also let guards detect so much that they go to ur position aka lure them or a step further making actual noise so guards search and get off their path? I never saw someone else doing it but and imma tell u it’s really viable in a lot of stealth games. Make chaos.
I think they should implement the rope dart we saw in ac 3 As shao jun was mentioned. And not only that this game takes place after ezios death possibly even shao jun time period or even after shao jun as she passed her knowledge. Also shao juns outfit would go with naoe Should be the first legacy outfit
Do you think Naoe has the potential to be top 10 characters in AC?
Yes easily, considering there aren’t many more then 10 protagonists, and we had some shit ones, easily maybe even top 5 for me
Ain’t no way that shit beating the legendary top 5: Altair, Ezio, Edward, Connor, Haytham. It is possible she lands in top 10, possibly top 7, but then again she might not make top 15.
She’s not beating Kenways + Altair + Ezio, but she might triumph over the others.
Honestly, if they don't royaly mess it up she can be a top 10 character
Stealth and parkour wise for sure ........... but she's no icon like Altair or Ezio.
That title caught me off guard 💀

Like Valhalla and Mirage, Shadows has a toggle for one-hit assassinations, so you should be able to take out everything while in stealth.

She is the main reason I preorder this.... her everything and her story, maybe she will become my new favorite AC character currently it's Kassandra!
Nice!
I think it's pretty evident that she's meant to be the main protagonist especially in terms of gameplay.
Probably also because of the existing frameworks
Would have been better for her to be the only protagonist and Yasuke is the side dude you can play as for certain scenes. Much less backlash.

@ yeah ikr. The English one where she attacks yasuke is when I realised I was going to play in Japanese. She sounds like she’s speaking through her noise entirely and is REALLY phoned in. It was literally two completely different emotions. English tried to depict anger and Japanese nailed sadness with a hint of rage. I will say though yasukes English voice is better
I would love to know what difficulty setting raises the stakes but doesn’t make enemies insanely damage spongey
i want that
One of the things I wish they added for this game was for us to have normal looking clothing if we played as Naoe during they day. Thats how it would have been done duting this time period a d would have added a small extra layer of immersion to the game.
yeah, woulda been cool
3:18 there’s a very minor detail here that struck me like a bullet. The way Shadows lets you climb over onto the “climb-up-able” ledge and climb up in rapid succession is very satisfying to me. In previous games you would have to climb over and then wait a second and then climb up which, admittedly, only took a few seconds, but I think this is a great quality of life change.
Good catch
I get the feeling that Naoe is the type of character that will not give the best impressions early on (she hasn't), but will grow on people as time goes by. Some of my favorite characters came to be that way.
i agree
I really liked What u talked about in this video. Im gonna try to play this game very stealthy and not kill everybody in sight,.
it really seems like the game has been made with naoe as main character and this really shows the lack of logic behind ubisoft`s decision to introduce yasuke as a playable character instead of making a dlc with him as a protagonist or as a side character like cleopatra who makes u do quests for her or benjamin franklin etc. (i dont care about the stupid culture war)
You're not yearning to play as Naoe, you're yearning to play as an assassin in a game that's supposed to be about assassins. But has instead been about a viking, a soldier, local law enforcement - the medjai.
You've forgotten what you had, you've become so excited for this crappy cardboard character you can get.
Naoe isn't really interesting beyond that, they made her plain af. She's the key to a possible glimpse into a hidden world of assassins, in feudal japan. Assassin lore feels like something they were all about, that then got scarcer until they wrung it all out.
Perhaps you’re right
I really appreciate this kind of reflection with a little distance from the preview event. I also consumed a lot of the content the day the embargo lifted, and it left me with very mixed feelings. I’m hoping a larger city will offer more for parkour than what y’all got to experience at the preview day. I am disappointed though that social stealth has once again been jettisoned. Valhalla brought it back in such a half-assed way, and while it was better in Mirage but just lacked sufficient opportunities, Ubisoft went with their MO of AC games getting rid of things the players love instead of fixing them.
I'm hoping for better parkour in big cities too
I hope they let us spend most of the game with her, that will determine if I try it or not, I like her for that reason it makes me think of Shao Yun and even today it makes me sad that they have never given us a game like this with her, the voice acting in English does not seem very good especially after having heard the Japanese.
I can't help but think that this was what they wanted to go for in Syndicate way back when.
One character who is buff and likes to brawl, while the other is a more traditional, stealthy Assassin. While being not at such extreme ends of the spectrum like it is in this case.
If they made the Frye siblings just brother and sister instead of twins, then they might have been able to go further. They were the same age so they were similar in that regard. It would have been interesting if Jacob was older by a larger margin but Evie was much younger and underestimated because of this.
They could have made someone like Hanzo Hattori, who was historically a samurai and rumored to be a ninja, he would have made a great assassin. If they wanted to they could have a descendant of that clan bearing the name itself.
that wouldve been cool
I agree with this video in terms of my excitement with this game. I will be playing on expert to make the stealth portion challenging. Mostly I will play as Naoe but I honestly am excited for Yasuke story as well. He came with Portuguese as a slave that means he is probably from one of the African colonies of Portugal whether it is Mozambique or Angola. Being half Angolan myself I wanna know Yasuke story and I think his gameplay will be a nice way to switch it up the constant stealth gameplay. Sometime I might feel like I just wanna burth through the gate and make damage to these guards. Maybe I just wanna go in there and be brutal and strong and I love that we have a choice to do so. I been watching a lot of AC Shadows content in the past few days and I feel like you guys that get the play the review got It worse than us because now you got teased and have to wait 2 more month just like us. Also can we appreciate the sound design ? This game looks and sounds amazing.
Just one question. Does this look like and actual next gen game that we have been waiting for ? and does it run 60 pfs?
do you think this game will be good for ghosting? really looking forward to trying to play missions as efficient as possible
I 100% think so
I like playing the chronicles games going full shadow gold and I can imagine ac SHADOWS will give me that same feeling
exactly
Something I'm thinking about which I highly doubt the return of, the foot-blade which was see in AC Chronicles China, which isn't too far off (in time) so it would make sense for Naoe to have it as well as because of the user being a Master Assassin at this time
i wish it had returned
I’m not fan of the internet banishing a game that’s not even out yet.
i think there is some valid criticism from more respectable channels though
Me too man she a cutie
Let’s go march 20
Woo 🎉
4:38 The parkour moving across the roof, looks so glitchy and janky, so bad! If all those animations were smoothed out, I'd consider buying it!
okay!
cmon now she ain’t ALL that 😭✌️
I cant stop either bro (my shi hard as we speak 😔)
delete your entire footprint
Combat to me just needs a lil bit of polish, stealth needs some polish with the Ai but yeah naoe is definitely keeping me up at night I love her speed and I’m curious about her story and her Japanese dub is dope too
They had four months from this footage so fingers crossed
About being charismatic now, I'm not saying I don't like her character but at the same time, charismatic is not the way I see her. Her personality gives me very high Connor Kenway vibes she's got a goal. She set on doing so and not only that. I think the reason why she's also not charismatic. It's because people want revenge, their first idea is not to be charismatic, I mean, look at Aiden Pierce people with the mindset of revenge don't really care if they're being charismatic, but that's just my opinion.
Thats a better way to put it maybe
Does the Japanese audio sync with the lips or nah? Will probably be the deciding factor for which audio I choose
Not even the english one does man
@@TheSpaniardAssassin oh that’s kinda surprising😭 thanks man
I just hope it's not bloated. Even if she's amazing, that can't save the game for me. Espeically with how terribly bloated odyssey and valhalla was. Plus i hope they improve her parkour and animations, it doesn't look upto standard. Anyway nice video bro.
I hope so too
Bro’s been beating his 🥩 nonstop since he played
despicable thing to comment
@ bro is soft af 😂
Can you use the story context to guide your character choice? That is, can you decide which character "fits" each mission based on the story parameters, environmental factors, etc.?
I believe so
Sees title: "yeah bro i get it, I also miss Evie"
Watches video: "Oh, never mind....."
Bro these comments dude
just watched jorraptors video and apparently there's one proper assassin outfit that you'll be able to find in the world so i know what I'm doing first.
nice cant wait to do that
The man knows how to bait all the simps. Ezio did well teaching the ways of courtesan distraction.
;)
I don’t like mindless killing, unless it’s Spartans. I hate Spartans
😂😂
She's awesome and cool I would choose her to play as 😊
same
Prediction- Naoe and Yasuke build some kind of friendship or relationship and somehow Yasuke could die do to Oda Nobunaga saying "He may become a legend, or die." and then Naoe going on a rampage orrr starts to build her own brotherhood of assassins. Might be foreshadowing or I'm just looking to into it to far idk. Or, maybe Yasuke decides to go into hiding and live a life of peace in shadows? CHARACTER DEVOLOPMENT COULD BE CRAZY IN THIS GAME (I hope)
Naoe looks like... my new favorite AC character
Nice
I know the feeling bro
Being in love with a fictional character
That was a thing since Tomb Raider 2013 was released and maybe even before that
😅😅😅
dead
4:50 that hidden blade didn't touch either of those dudes
The power of the assassin
A tale as old as objects clipping through each other.
Do we know if the voice work during the preview cutscenes were AI place holders? Really hope thats the case…
I hope so too
Gotta ask u something since I to this day saw nobody doing it but me so do u also let guards detect so much that they go to ur position aka lure them or a step further making actual noise so guards search and get off their path?
I never saw someone else doing it but and imma tell u it’s really viable in a lot of stealth games. Make chaos.
yeah its a common strategy in the stealth community!
I think they should implement the rope dart we saw in ac 3 As shao jun was mentioned. And not only that this game takes place after ezios death possibly even shao jun time period or even after shao jun as she passed her knowledge. Also shao juns outfit would go with naoe Should be the first legacy outfit
shao juns legacy outfit would be diabolical
she’s cute no doubt
Teasingly: Spaniard likes naoe, spaniard likes naoe.
😂😂
