Run out of things to do? Lol. Level 30 and I think I'm 20% through the main missions.
I wish I loved this game as much as you guys. Right now I like it and I think it's a good game, but not as good as AC2, Brotherhood and Black Flag. Miles better than Syndicate and Unity, though!
Mechanically, it's definitely the best one.
I think my main problem with it is that most of the quests are on the dull side, so far.

There are more details I noticed:
- animals in cages will try to attack you
- when covered in oil you will leave flammable trail
- when hovering with cursor over the map, you will hear sound effects according to area
- when hovering in the water, Bayek will start to move with current
- vultures will fed on dead bodies
- Bayek will warm his hands on campfire
- guards will move dead bodies
- Bayek voice is changed with cover on face
- guards urinate
- backwards leap of faith looking good af
- algae will break apart and shift
- dust travels in the same direction as wind
- nearby NPCs are trying to put out open fire
- horse getting wet and dry
- when you roll right after height jump, you will not get damage
- you can light other torches with your torch
- blood in water can attract other predators
Can't really think of a Kojima game with this much attention to detail tbch..just the geometry of the world alone vastly outclasses what he's worked on so far let alone the AI behavior and little things.
Also. Fuck these things in particular.
I soooo agree with this!
kept my expectations muted and was presently surprised.

I didn't have any trouble killing the first three I encountered, then I met Jumbe. Let's say I'm glad I kept a health regeneration on hit bow.
Not sure if it is same problem as me.
After HDR patch for some reason,photo mode of my game malfunction.
I dont know why my photo that upload to the server look much brighter ? first few picture (for test and before HDR patch) start off normally but after that it seems weird.
this is what photo mode in the game uploaded to the server : https://scontent.fbkk1-3.fna.fbcdn....=a4b8c5a70dd682ed9d66fa5fd6b01d81&oe=5A0A49AB
this is what I actually capture by photo mode (i use PS4 feature to capture at the same time) as seen in this thread : https://scontent.fbkk1-3.fna.fbcdn....=86b1346f1d8ab7efb1009e23fa2f7e97&oe=5A61AE57
I didnt use any filter feature on photo mode.
So what you see on my post is purely my PS4 screen capture function and imported out and upload by myself so photo quality isnt downgrade like on Facebook.

The one called "Hennefer". I practically had to kill him twice without dying. He respawned at 5/6 health, then again at 1/6 health, and I prayed that he wouldn't respawn a third time.Also. Fuck these things in particular.
you're not alone. i've played the game for over a week, & still feel like this. it's this stunningly gorgeous, extraordinary sandbox, with so much to do! - but i feel no personal attachment to it whatsoever (unlike previous ac games). just took a break to play the horizon frozen wilds dlc, came back, & nope! - with all its meticulous attention to detail, it still all feels very soulless & empty to me (bayek being this completely generic stoic cypher bad-ass definitely doesn't help). seriously surprised - pre-release, i'd been pretty confident that i'd be having a wonderful time right about now :) ...
The same user did a 36 details video that show some of these.

It's cool seeing the guards walk by cleaning up the bodies while you're hiding.
The muffled voice is one of the first things I noticed. Best to drop the hood or helmet before a cut scene.
Currently level 25 and in the crocodile quest line. Not sure I'm a fan of the levelling up in the game. Killing enemies barely give xp, whilst quests seem to give only 1000 or 1500. Feels like getting forced to do loads of quests rather than the ones i choose to.
The trial of the gods is not working, nothing happens when I click on it, PC.
I'm only level 28 but thought I'd leave it to the last day to get the maximum level I could before having a punt. Oh well. I read they'll add them again.

Yeeah... it was such a massive slog to get high enough in levels to do the arenas. Like... painful. So many quests that were just not fun with a ton of filler to pad the playtime.
I guess it depends on the player but I was consistently 3 or 4 levels ahead of the suggested story level. The game does a good job of introducing characters throughout the story and having several sidequests associated with them.
I've been trying to keep two levels above the required but did 3 main quests in a row yesterday and today, so now the quests are my level. Never been a fan of loads of side quests, some well thought out quests are much xh better to me.
I don't find the treasure chest level thing a good idea.
When I got into the pyramid and found 4 treasure chests I'd expect something nice or unique buried with the King but I got 4 boring shields that were only good for dismantling. At least one fixed rare item would be cool.

We don't know much about the time needed to make these games but they clearly are constrained within schedules that prevent them from thinking everything through and polishing. For a game of that scale at least, they need. I don't know if the big teams they have (700-1200 people at the end of the projects ?) are something that helps to build something consistent or just a way of rushing it towards the release date set by business deciders. Rockstar is the best counter-example. The Witcher 3 is another alternative.
Even with more time (=ressources), they lack a good creative direction that can build a story with the world, bring in political, social, cultural aspects that could help an historical game to say interesting things about a time period and a country (and not only recycle Hollywood-popular culture without even knowing it), about our present..AC1, AC3, AC4 had a beginning of creative vision but even there you understood the system of constraints in the dev process.
Just got to the arena. That was quite fun.
Looks nice too.
I'm curious : what are your settings in game ? (or outside if you use Nvdia control panel)
So what's the best way to get more ability points? I've done a few tombs. I'm level 40. Trying to level up. Missing some good stuff I waited on but man even with some nice weapons and all, I'm getting my asskicked by these elephants and the Anubis weekly event.
Crazy.
Deleted digital and installed disc last night. Turned off updates. The issues are the same as 1.04. Like one for one.
Does this mean that 1.02 is where the magic happened?

:D
Maybe I will give this a chance after all. I was pretty burnt on AC (especially after Unity, the last one I played), but I kinda want to give this one a shot. Egypt seems pretty cool. Also, it's only $35 on Black Friday, which doesn't hurt.
I enjoyed it a lot. And this is after having sat out the last two AC games due to being so tired of the franchise.

Bayek generic?
LOL
Bayek is one of the most three dimensional protagonists in the franchise.
I just went through a sandstorm near the pyramids and it just hit me that they would be so much better if you're UI and markers all disappeared while you're in there (Bayek does mention "better not get lost")
Edit: I'm still at the edge of the storm and my map stuff is gone. Nice.

Hermit places gives out points as well as all of the tombs.
Anubis is easy to be honest though the elephants are a bit harder. Remember that your dodge doesn't have any iframes, so always dodge on the last second. When the elephant attacks you with it's head always dodge to the opposite side the last second, it does it 2 - 3 times so dodge all of them, go to it's back then use your overpower. Don't get too greedy, think of this as a soulsborne boss although it's a lot easier. Shield's up when in range then unleash all of your light bow arrows while picking up ammo. Anubis is actually much easier of the elephants so just apply the same strategy as above, also carry a Health on Kill weapon so you heal up using the mobs.
Bayek generic? Pffff
Yep. I'm near the end of the game (I think) and IMO Bayed is one of the best main characters of this gen so far. He's written not just as a likable guy with his flaws like everyone else, his characterizacion is very "natural" without falling in some forced archtype.
This is something that was disappointing to me as well.
IMO they should have put unique rewards in each pyramid that is related to the person buried there. Unique armor/shields/weapons, etc.
Seems strange that you'd go through and all of what you find in there is just generic blues/purples usually, not even a legendary.
These Phylakes are pretty damn tough. I've had my ass handed to me once or twice now. But at least the rewards are good when you come out on top.
I'm really digging the 'Seer' skill tree. The Tools are fun to play around with. I like ghosting through the bigger bandit camps, leaving some infected dead bodies lying around and watching the live dudes discover them.

I went after them whenever I could if I happen to be in the area. Don't think it really matters what level you get them at. If you end up getting something good out of it, you can always upgrade the gear to your current level. I suppose it really depends on how early you want that end reward when you get them all.
How to kill Phylakes: Engage them when they're alone. Make sure you're mounted and just ride back and forth swiping at them. Dismount to confirm the kill. Done.
Tried fighting Anubis. Far too underleveled and far too lazy to level up 8 levels to 40 to stand a chance.
This is where impulsive me would be willing t drop a dollar or two if it meant I could get the gear without the work. But give me five minutes, and I'll come to my senses.

You can attract Phylake by burning emergency fire in camps and yeah, easiest way to kill them
I don't touch the control panel exept to force vsync (caps games to 100fps for my gsync monitor). My settings for Origins are all maxed except my AA is on high. I use a little bit of lumasharpen from reshade to help with the blurry AA. When I take screenshots, I turn the AA off and use smaa from reshade instead. Then I use SRWE to temporarily change to a higher resolution for screenshots.
Anyways... this armor looks fantastic. Massive slog to get it though.
Good news for those of us with the LOD bug:

Yeah, they make a beeline for any lit camp beacon. I was surprised when I saw one drop what he was doing and come running.
Explore ahead in higher level regions and find quests that are levels above. If you become good at combat, it gets pretty easy to consistently get a lot of xp. I've skipped out on a lot of early quests for now because of minimal xp gain. I feel this game does an amazing job of this balance.
