They need to build an AC game that starts off with shabby parkor but develops into a smoother, with more finesse as you level up, with a max cap of 15 or 20.

@johnxiong6983 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, it doesn’t make sense why every single AC character just knew how to do perfect parkour before they became an assassin. They even knew how to do the leap of faith which they shouldn’t because they haven’t been taught that yet. One thing AC Valhalla did well was show how Eivor didn’t know how to do the leap of faith until an assassin taught him.

@Pedro_Le_Chef 8 месяцев назад

@@johnxiong6983because in the older game they basically did just that without needing an artificial leveling system to achieve it. You started out not knowing how to use the parkour, you just held sprint and forward and just got by. As you got better though you started noticing environmental parkour starters, beams on walls and ladders and you used those to climb faster. Then you learned about back and side ejects and how they speed up climbing and then you combined those with the environmental cues and you could climb to the top of a building almost instantly by wall running, side ejecting unto a beam and then climbing to the top. Older games didn't need to artificially create progression through mundane skill points and leveling trees. They organically facilitated improvement of skill by learning the controls and reading the environment. The player got better not because they just assigned more skill points, but because they learned how to use the controls and engage the world. That's real player progression. That's what we had with the first 4 games. That's why we want them to go back to making real games instead of single player MMOs.

@Hohice 8 месяцев назад

I’ve played for about 4 in half hours and for me this is an absolute return to form for a fan since the beginning. It’s modernized but we have what really cemented AC as AC. I know they aren’t going to do this full time but it does give me pause and reason try to enjoy what the new RPG open world games have to offer. If they are willing to meet me as a old school fan half way then maybe I should meet them half way with their future visions of the franchise. I literally could not be any happier with this outcome.

Nah, it doesn't. I'm like 7 hours in and the game is kinda boring, to be honest. Story is meh, voice acting is meh, animations are meh, combat is meh. Stealth can be pretty good but feels extremely generic and unimaginative and the parkour system is a mess. It's slow, choppy, imprecise and just... not fun. Even AC1 has a more enjoyable parkour than AC Mirage and it's quite ridiculous that it's true. We're going backwards.

@Auto70Galaxy 8 месяцев назад

I will never get over the fact that when you blend in the crowds you get this white outline that will always remind me of a cheap mobile game. In old AC games blending in would make your character black and white which is a small detail but is so much cooler.

@neonmatt24 8 месяцев назад

@Jayvee I haven't got my hands on it yet, cant wait for tomorrow but from all the gameplay videos I have watched it looks like it's AC Origins 2.0 which I LOVE!!!! The way you were playing in this video is EXACTLY how I play in Origins. Especially since I use the "remove shield and bow" trick and just rely on sleep and poison darts. It reminds me of playing in Memphis and Alexandria with the different districts, rich Greek and Roman areas, stores and shops districts mixed with the slum poor areas too. It's like they took the beauty and gameplay of Origins but removed tiered loot and added social stealth back. The only thing I will say that I wish was different was Basim doesn't look as fast as Bayek and the NPC's don't react as good being hit in combat as Origins did. I only use the "Storm Blades" (double blades) in Origins since you can block and counter with the offhand and when you slash an enemy their body jerks in the direction of the hand you hit them and continues hits stun them for a period opening them up for more damage. I noticed Mirage doesn't seem to have that animation in combat, the NPC's take damage but they don't really react to being hit that much. But overall it looks like this is the AC game us old-school stealth fans have been craving and what should be the blueprint they should have used for Codename Red seeing Ninjas are all about stealth.

@doctorbond1882 8 месяцев назад

Yeah I definitely agree with all that was said. I started with AC Valhalla and then played every AC game up until this point. I have just finished AC Mirage and I absolutely loved it. I have not loved every assassins creed game, but I often look past its faults if they’re not too huge and can acknowledge each one’s strengths. I wasn’t a huge fan of Unity or Syndicate, and certainly not AC3, yet I still enjoyed parts. I’ve realised that as cool as the brooding vibing elements are, I am more engaged in the history of an environment and to be able to immerse myself in those worlds is exciting enough for me to enjoy each game. That said, Mirage had me hooked from start to finish, not just because of the historical setpiece, but the wonderful stealth immersive gameplay that it has you set on. The characters are memorable enough, the dialogue isn’t too clunky, nothing is really repetitive and I found myself wanting more at the end. (Also some of the cinematics are INCREDIBLE). I’d say it doesn’t matter if you enjoy long winded games or short, either way you’d find that you’ll be immersed enough to not care about anything else.

also to add on to what you said about sprinting, you can remap the sprint to be a hold rather than a toggle and move it to the right trigger with not too much breaking other things since down on the dpad can just be a hold for your weapon wheel. after I made sprint a dedicated hold parkour felt much better.

During the Open world section of this review: I do agree, when you have to escape after taking out a certain target, guards do get alerted but escaping does feel relatively easy. My point is: I do wish a lot of the times after taking out a target, the game gives you certain points on the map nearby to your location, of escape points. And you have to make it to these points without any guards who are hell bent on pursuing you, you have to avoid them seeing you get into hiding. And then thats where the mission ends once youve made it to the escape point, is when youve successfully made your escape, and then it just transitions you back into the open world. It really adds this whole other process to the missions that really makes Assassins Creed so intense, immersive and engaging. The intense soundtrack starts kicking in. And youre just absolutely LOVING it. But yeah, sadly thats not exactly the case 100% of the time so... it is what it is. I do hope they do this in Red tho, which hopefully is groundbreaking and you can do things you never could in previous AC titles. Or even bring back certain mechanics like the rope dart kills, part of what made playing an assassin so fking cool and engaging.

@blitz5293 8 месяцев назад

It would've been a true back to the roots in terms of parkour is to add the the side ejects and back ejects. But overall It is growing on me. I just might get it.

@VerbalKevin 8 месяцев назад

I felt the same way with Basim being annoying at the beginning. I realized it was probably by design to show character progression, and I actually kind of appreciated it. I liked how jumping into hay bails looks less fancy before he becomes an assassin and actually learns how to do the leap of faith. Game is vibey so far for sure.

@AtomicShadow09 8 месяцев назад

Great Video/content as always. This video and your comments have cemented it for me to wait on mirage to come down in price. Was not a fan of Basim as a character from Valhalla but few other aspects of the gameplay make me little hesitant to pay full price. It looks good but for now I'll stick to unity and origins. Plus with Spiderman 2 out in two weeks, that unfortunately takes priority on the game list. Mirage is unfortunately the first Assassin Creed game that doesn't give me the hype to play. Keep up the awesome work.

This game looks like AC Revelations and AC: Origins/Odyssey had a Olympic-level elite athlete of a baby ..... that came into this world as a mutant with powers activated... MY GOD, this is a lot..... Old-school feel with new flavors..... I can only imagine what the OG 'Assassins Creed 1' game would look like with this level of technical progress and visual fidelity.... The stories of Altair Ibn l'Ahad would look heavenly in 4K or 8K,..... whether glorious or tragic...... One Hell of a send-off for the PS4!

I just want to have a decent story and a nice atmosphere with the possibility of different approaches to handle situations. I hope it won't become insanely boring to play after or while playing BG3.

@ruki4929 8 месяцев назад

As someone who came on with AC 4 (on the wii u of all things), I really enjoy Mirage beause ti was the first time I could be sneaky well, right? Because I sucked at stealth in lke, all the other games but with me getting older and the mirage being forgiving means that I can now find oppurtunities to get in and get out without anyone seeing me and honestly it's amazing. My tip is that smokebombs are useful for initation more than escape: my favourite tactic when I see 3-4 guys is to throw a smokebomb down first before assasination, or even to just loot a key or move through a guarded door.

@jammiep96 8 месяцев назад

The 1 thing that made me stop playing the newgen stealth games like ac valhalla, odyssey and origins was the fact that if 1 person detected you for a milisecond the entire camp somehow knew your exact location and immediately headed torwards you to combat. I am SOOOO glad the adressed this issue. Now i can see that there's a delays between detection and searching, allowing you to kill a guard a second too late, whitout alerting the posted guards around him. Its worderful. Predictable stealth is always good stealth.

@TheHobatron 8 месяцев назад

Looking forward to playing it. Still a bit concerned about the movement/parkour simply because it's using Valhalla's engine. I hope, though, that if this is an old-style experience and fans respond positively to it, that they do more in this direction. Why not take turns releasing an RPG style, then original style? They could do that and keep pretty much everyone happy.

@cool12191 8 месяцев назад

I do like how JayVee says that although it's using much of Valhalla's system and animations, Mirage does it the right way, with the right city environment and Basim is much faster and all this makes the game feel very refreshing and very good as an Assassin's Creed game overall.

@GigiusMaximus 8 месяцев назад

I'm pretty sure they're looking forward to it. Codename red will be even more rpg than odyssey and from what I heard they want to make different types of games in the same franchise. Imo that's wonderful and I'm saying that as a both rpg and classic formula lover.

@louie9305 8 месяцев назад

@@yamenmohamed8629 you’re always going to get different opinions on things, it’s just down to what you enjoy. The stealth gameplay is good, the map is amazing, the story so far seems to be decent. The only negatives I can really say is the parkour is still no way near where it should be, however it’s definitely an improvement over Valhalla and odyssey. And I’m suffering from slight screen tearing on Xbox series x but nothing to cry home about.

@@yamenmohamed8629 well listen as long as you don't get Valhalla or odyssey you okay. Honestly I enjoyed Valhalla, but it also took me 80 hours to complete so probably not the best first game. Mirage is like a blend of the old and new formula so actually a pretty decent starting point.
