My one complaint about the visuals in this game is HDR. Seems really dim/dull overall and not much for specular highlights. Anyone else experiencing this? Or have any tips for settings?
The pre-prologue when you "play" as the kid? or the prologue in Norway?
I didn't think it was too bad. I beelined the critical path in Norway and got the Hel outta dodge.
If it's not a monastery, you don't get a raid completed alert. It will just keep going until you leave the area.
Is there a fix for the screen tearing with this game on the Xbox series X? TV settings maybe? I'm not very technologically proficient so this is beyond me.
What TV are you playing on? Does the TV have a game mode?
Any word from Ubi on the screen tearing issue for Xbox? Just saw a mate of mine play it on his base PS4 and it looked clean, my one X is a tear fiesta.
If you beeline the main quest it's not too bad. But I think I'm almost done with it and I'm certainly not going to stick around much longer to explore the entire place. Maybe grab a few ingots and call it a day. Place looks way too empty to reward thorough exploration.
For me it was that they disable the brightness and contrast settings when HDR is on but they still have effect on the image. I had to disable HDR, adjust the brightness and contrast and then reenable HDR.
Could be because it's DLC.Is this a bug? I just arrived in England and can upgrade my shield to mythical with no cost .. lol
Would actually be kind of shitty of the game to demand ingots for that.
Man this game is really buggy isn't it, feels like it could have used a couple more months in the oven.
I'm sorry to hear this. I thought it would look quite a bit better in PC. I'm gonna persevere with the game, but I don't know about this game.
I'm about to the point where I can leave Norway. Is it worth sticking around to explore, or should I just book it?
This seems like the best Ass Creed since Black Flag, but I'm still early in the game. They trimmed some of the fat and it feels like a more focused experience overall.
I don't like the female voice so far so I will probably switch as soon as I can.

So far I'm having a blast. I really like the story beats regarding
The stealth is better, and that's a welcome change for me. The setting and characters are fun to explore. Overall, I'm pleased.
the assassins in the prologue, with the classic costume, cut fingers, hidden blade. I knew I missed it, but I didn't know I missed it that much.
The more I play the more my dissapointment with the world events becomes outright hate. I've just completed one where you literally pick up a crate with apples and you walk it to a nearby location while the person accompanying you talks about how nice it is to eat apples. You drop the crate at the destination and mission complete, that's it. No surprise of any kind, not even a pay off of some kind with the fucking apples (you can eat them from a barrel, but it's just an animation loop, there's no point in doing it).
There hasn't been a single world event worth my time, and I'm doing every single one I've come across. We have gone from questlines like the ones found in Kythera Island, Silver Islands, the Dagger questline or the Minotaur island questline from Odyssey, questlines with multiple characters with twists and turns, some with multiple resolutions or even multiple paths in rare occasions, to this nonsense.
I just don't understand. I will probably refrain from further comments about the side quests because I don't have much to add, but this last one broke me. I'm just so dissapointed in this game, and it fucking sucks, I liked Origins a fair deal and I kinda loved Odyssey. I didn't expect such a downgrade here, it has taken me by surprise.

I don't get why this is so praised. I'm about 20 hours in, but it appears to be a boring long-winded mess. with lots of jank, clunky combat, bad progression....
Is this getting better at some point?
Glad I tried it on the Ubiplus thingy, I only wasted 15 bucks to try out Watchdogs: Legion and this 'game'.

Holy crap they brought back a ton of stuff from "Old AC" that was missing in the Origins and Odyssey games. This game really does feel like a hybrid of both styles.
Speaking of Odyssey, I did a fist pump when the

Order of the Ancients menu was revealed. The Cult stuff was my favorite part of Odyssey and I'm overjoyed to see it return here.
When shit blew up around me, I laughed my ass off. It was so bad lmao. I was showing my brother how pretty the game looked and that's the first thing he saw lmao.
I think the fire animates at 30 fps. Which makes it obvious that 60 fps wasn't ever a consideration while making the game which may explain the cutscene issues and tearing.
It looks like shit on Pro too where the game is 30. Its just a really shitty looking effect
So far for me, the positives outweigh the negatives.
It does feel a bit janky at times, but I've found the world interesting and the story pretty captivating so far.

Probably don't even need to add any real-time RT, most of the lighting is ray traced as it is. Maybe reflections would be nice?
Some of the comments here surprise me. Most of the reviews are very happy with the world events and the way the game is going.
Valhalla is apparently very polarizing. But let's remember that Black flag was literally hated when it was released.

i liked the ac odyssey questlines too and these shorter sidequests are so fun that i wish they were more detailed than the ones in ac odyssey. however, im still having fun with them despite being so short.
It's really bad. I used to set fire to everything in Origins and it looked great. WTF happened?
Known issue. I was hoping it wasn't on the XSX. It does it on my X1X.
I guess it's to make it efficient when you burn buildings during raids and so on.
funny thing is, I was about to make a post praising the side quests / events / whatever they are called for being quite diverse and just little quick things you do out in the world (let's not forget people were shitting on the previous games for only having fetch quests), but yeah this page is already making me just go back to the game instead of talking about it here lol.
Don't get me wrong, anyone is free to shit on whatever they want if they don't like it of course, just like I'm free to not have the patience to counter argument shit talk and prefer to just go back to the game. To each it's own etc.
There doesn't really seem to be that much more on fire - just some rooflines. I guess it lasts longer.
