Is there a video detailing this stuff? Was considering going with the series X version over the ps5.
Is the stuttering still present in the PS5 version if you go with the 30 fps mode instead of the 60?
I'm actually finding that keeping the compass on is not as bad as other Ubi games. I don't think it shows anything on it that you haven't marked using the push right stick in "vision" mode. So it only shows things you've "discovered" so far.
I keep the compass on just so I can see the markers I've dropped on the map, and I don't use the vision mode to mark anything.
Exploration in this is even better than the improved exploration in Valhalla.

I'm assuming this is basically an Assassin's Creed game with different graphics style, am I right? If so I'll give it a miss as I'm totally burnt out on Valhalla.
Oh for sure. I don't think it ruins anything. I just don't like being a slave to the compass. The first thing I did was mark everything in my view (cool feature!) then realized I was looking at the compass more than this great world they created.
To each their own. So far, really cool!
EDIT: I turned off compass and quest objective and it immediately felt better to me. You can always see the quest objective on the map anyway. Sweet!
Along with the Quest Objective and the Compass I turned off the Potions as you pretty quickly memorize which is in which slot. Now exploring the HUD is completely clean and only in combat do certain screen elements show up.
This is exactly Assassin's Creed: Saturday Morning Cartoon. . . they have even taken the parry and dodge style from the game.
It's also fantastic so far (including the humor).
Honestly I didn't think it would work; just figured if people who bought the game were able to play the game and Ubisoft+ people couldn't and the only difference between the two was the executables, that had to be how DENUVO was differentiating between who could play.

It is really bizarre that this top-tier uncrackable DRM just says "what was the name of the EXE? Oh, it doesn't have "_plus" on the end? Must be a legitimate non-Ubi+ digital executable! Go ahead and let it run!"
Feels pretty great with most of the intrusive UI off (quest marker, panel, compass, etc). I'm probably going to turn the rest of the stuff off as I get my muscle memory down for potions and skills.
Assassin's Fortnight of the Wild!
its AC Odyssey's core with a different coat of paint and some extra mechanics.
This game isn't really "cartoon Assassin's Creed"
It is way more of a Breath of the Wild clone. And a damn good one at that.
The whole world is saturated with fun little puzzles that you stumble across, and there are more complex underground shrines just like BOTW.
There is almost no emphasis on stealth or infiltration.

Something odd going on in the PS5 Quality Mode at 13m 35s.. it seems to sneak above the 30fps cap (jumping between 30-35 fps) for a few seconds here and there, which is going to cause some minor juddering..
All versions seem nicely stable otherwise.. and you're likely going to want to play in performance mode anyway..
Finished the staring area and now have to stop because of work. But I am really, really enjoying it so far.
Combat is fast and the controls are tight, it's actually quite charming and funny and it looks really amazing on the PS5.
can't wait to play more in the evening!

Maybe thats the thing people were reporting on yesterday? With the ps5 having some stutter?
Not exactly, it has a lot in common with BOTW actually. There are a lot of puzzles and upgrades gained from those puzzles. Combat feels a bit like AC but there's a lot of air juggling in this game which doesn't exist in AC.
Combat seems like it's going to be pretty fun.
I don't really feel any ps5 controller support at all though which is unfortunate. I only notice it during farsight when you look around the world and reveal stuff.
I really dislike the fact that you continue to lose stamina and die while floating still in water.

That seems the most likely explanation, all three look to be locked to 30/60 otherwise..
This feels like 2020's Days Gone. Only decent reviews from critics, leading to some folks skipping it, but most who play will love it.
I redeemed the codde at ubisoft website but I still did not receive the redeemable code for PSN.
Quality mode on PS5 is completely busted. Shadows look worse than on Performance mode. Lol Ubisoft never change.
Like for Valhalla I preordered the game on other marketplace and got no code or anything :(
I streamed it for about 2 and a half hours tonight on PS5, and outside of a weird audio glitch where the narration from Zeus and Prometheus was silent (while the audio from Fenyx and the other characters were fine; quitting to main menu and reloading fixed it, though), it was a fun time, and I'm really enjoying it.
I like the light hearted tone of the game, and it wears its Breath of the Wild inspirations on its sleeve, which isn't a bad thing, to be honest. The combat is definitely more enjoyable than BotW, and the environments look great. The character models and style is growing on me, and it's like this Disney-esque version of Assassin's Creed and God of War. The humor has been hit or miss, like most humorous things; some jokes land, some don't, but I definitely chuckled and laughed genuinely more than a few times.
I stopped playing after I got the glide ability, but I'm looking forward to playing more of it tomorrow after work. I think it's a solid game that is having a lot of fun with itself, and I can appreciate that. Especially during a year where the world is on fire, and some of the top tier games were incredibly emotionally and thematically taxing. It's been nice to play a game like Astro, Sackboy, Bugsnax, and now Immortals, that is just some good, family friendly fun that doesn't take itself so seriously, as is really enjoyable to play.
This was a game I was only mildly interested in, but the fun combat, vibrant world, and silly humor is exactly what I need at the moment. I haven't even gotten to the point where I'm able to upgrade my abilities yet, and I'm having a good time. I also really like the puzzle trials I've experienced so far.
It's definitely this amusing Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and Breath of the Wild love child that I'm completely okay with.
EDIT: I'm also playing in performance mode on PS5. It looked and felt much better in that mode compared to Quality mode to me.

Imo, the BOTW comparisons, while very apt, are also what you see in any other new subgenre early in its infancy. Genshin Impact and this will get lots of criticism for being similar to BOTW, but this is how subgenres are formed. Soon, more games will ape the gameplay mechanics, do their own spin, and you'll soon you'll have a whole new subgenre healthy and full of fun titles to play.
It happened with Doom (before the FPS genre was solidified, any first person shooter was called a Doom Clone), it happened with MMOs, it happened with MOBAs, and it will happen again and again until the end of time...and it's a good thing!

So the Vaults of Tartarus are basically BOTW equivalent to Shrines...I like it.
Also that first power you unlock that lets you pick up heavy rocks and float them. The animation is similar to Magnesis but again I don't mind.
I do like the small starting area is basically being the equivalent to BOTW's Great Plateau. I definitely enjoyed what I played so far. Glad I picked it up.

I like this game a lot so far. It's both scratching my BOTW itch and kinda filling out its own sense of identity and gameplay satisfaction. The humor isn't a complete win but it is serving me better than I expected.
Can definitely also confirm the stutter on PS5 at least in perf mode. Feels really unpolished because of it. Otherwise the game seems reeeeally promising after an hour. Actually installed on PC through U+ and since theres cross save, im going to jump back and forth.
Fully installed and patched on PS5. Stuttering is super bad in performance mode :(
The stutter is constant, even on the character creation screen.

How did you redeem the mission ? How do you check if you have it is it a file to download ?
I received an email from the retailer with a code to be redeemed at immortalsfenyxrising.com/redeem then selected my platform of choice (Ps5) and I just received an email with the PSN code to be redeemed on the PS5. Dowloaded the thing and it doesn't appear anywhere
It looks like its a widespread issue, being reported on the Ubisoft support forums: https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2299785-The-gold-editon-s-bonuses
so yeah, we just gotta wait I guess.
So apparently in Japan, on PC, the game is coming out tomorrow, on the 4th, even though the banners all over Ubi Connect say "Play Now", and every piece of news says that it goes live globally on the 3rd.
Nice job Ubi.
EDIT: It even says the 3rd in Ubi Connect's store page. Christ.
EDIT: Oh fuck, it's because I bought it on Epic. Well, there you go. Shame. I would've bought it on Ubi Connect if they allowed me to.

I'm playing on a One X on a TCL series 4 (my LG BX gets here Monday), but this is a damn good looking game even right now.
Sounds good, thanks. I'll almost certainly stick with performance on series x.
Really happy to see that pretty much everyone here is enjoying this. I was hoping to have it today, but the USPS is taking dey own sweet time. i guess I'll play R6 after work. I already sold Valhalla after bailing early and hard. Zero regrets on that one.
