Assassin's Creed Shadows: 10 BIGGEST Changes You NEED TO KNOW 

you're suppose to see these videos though, not fall asleep with them lol.

Finally someone said that

So true. I hate the white background

Me rn

This is no where near the first time this has been mentioned

This. I'd expect to find legendary gear or something in places. Make it worth my effort to explore.

Valhalla's open world was trash imo. Horribly designed

Im even more excited for this game now

@@ShinobiDrip999definitely was horrible. I mean there was lots to do but the rewards were so ass that it dragged after awhile.

​@@ShinzuXTruthmindless consoomer.

They need to take over the whole “period piece” genre. Ghost of Britannia or Germania etc.

Same 🙏

I read somewhere that development has already started, might still be a while before we get something concrete tho

​@@chivasroco1752it's been in development for some time

I’m hoping the game takes place at the great war before Edo period ended and you can maybe play a character that’s similar to Himura Kenshin who’s an assassin that works for Katsura

No bird drone in AC Shadows

@@byksEBM Falcon is the name of the reviewer. 🙃

​@@lisa1162 And I'm adding information about AC Shadows that is relevant to birds and synchronization, its word play

Screw "legend has it...." they're all lies. It just appear to sound cool but it got old real fast.

Synchronize* Come on! It rhymes!!!

hope ubisoft hired you

no way this is real 💀

It be nice , I would love something like it

MGS1 did this before most people watching this were born. You could catch a cold and randomly sneeze, alerting the guards. The only way to fix it was to find rare cold meds or your playthrough was kind of ruined.

Good thing they're the ones trained to be Shinobi and Samurai instead of an allergy-prone snowflake like you.

Hopefully once you break the armor the enemies are one or two shot. It would be way more immersive that way than most other games.

Not necessarily but probably

Exactly. When I heard that, my immediate thought was "oh great more health bars".

Mid-game will be one shoted by whatever OP bow or arrows' blueprint a random side quest will provide

So you want an entire map of enemy’s you can walk around and 1 tap?

5 bucks xD we call this reverse inflation lmao

If you play on PC or xbox you can simply wait for it to hit gamepass and play it for free. That's how i played origins, odyssey and valhalla. Without ever spending a single dime on them.

@@direct2397 for free? You paying for the pass though.

​@@direct2397they were on extra too, stopriding gamepass

@@direct2397scam pass you mean Xbox is trash

Easiest $70 I ever spent 💀

So when you decide not to buy something that costs 60/70 you tell yourself you saved double that? Interesting budgeting technique

Weirdos man, just do what you do with gamepass, get a 1 month sub to Ubisoft+, beat the game in 2 weeks and cancel Ubisoft+, all ubisofts games will be $17.99 for me, including DLC

When you don’t want to buy something do you always let random people you’ve never met know?

Were you planning to buy the game twice before you found out about the Black samurai?

Bros saying this as if Witcher didn't use Bioware's RPG formula

For Valhalla, they copied Dark souls with the stamina system. Now it's time to rip off Ghost of Tsushima.

Origins didn’t try to be anything like Witcher💀😂

@@del10artemso many games have a stamina system. It’s not just dark souls and valhalla

This perfectly summarizes Ubi’s business model of the last 15 years.

Came here to say the exact same thing 😂😂

Ubisoft said we should get comfortable not owning their games so they should be comfortable with us not playing them.

​@@lawrencetalbot8346did you come up with that yourself?? Pretty sure I've seen it somewhere before

​​@@lawrencetalbot8346 -- not *" paying "* for them ☠️

@@mtnman8783 I say it whenever I review an Ubisoft game on Microsoft store or steam. AC Mirage, Skull n Bones, etc.

I’m thinking the same thing. If they’re able to pull it off, it will be great but, it’s Ubisoft. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Nah, this is a hard pass for me. If you tolerate this your children will be next.

Nah don’t buy it at all

@@ZinoAmarewhy are you hating on the game when we haven’t seen any gameplay and all the leaks are positive.

​@@HahahMamaman You know why

Gives the speedrunners something to mess around with though

​​@@daggern15 ya but developers don't develop games with speed running in the forefront of their mind lol nor should they. Its supposed to appeal to a wide audience.

@@ShinobiDrip999 Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that as if it's a selling feature for the mass market, it's simply a fact of how it presently exists. But keep in mind the operative word is 'supposed'. Ubi doesn't have a good track record over the past ~7 years. I'm very much hoping they're starting to learn the lesson of aiming for wide public appeal isn't going to work out in the long run. A lot of the original AC fans have moved on after seeing their beloved franchise's corpse being sockpuppeted several games in a row and this kitchen sink of mechanics and features doesn't hold the attention of the 'new shiny' crowd for long when the 'we have X at home' is better than the newest offering. Personally, I'm in the first camp and am simply here out of morbid curiosity. I already know I won't be buying this other than from the bargain bin at best and a lot of the comments I've seen echo that same sentiment.

loganatkins Wow, actual criticisms and authentic comments. Haven't seen those in a while. These days it's usually just bigotry and politics

@@Scoring57 you’re welcome, I think 😂

Incorrect, Yasuke was an enslaved bodyguard for Italian missionary, Alessandro Valignano. As recorded in the diary of the samurai Matsudaira Ietada, he was 6ft 2 which was far larger than the average Japanese person at the time. After meeting Nobunaga he impressed him with his ability to speak Japanese and skills as a soldier. It would make complete sense to have Yasuke as a servant and a combatant for his strength and size alone… use your mind. Nobunaga granted Yasuke his Japanese name (which wouldn’t have occurred if he was simply a servant as it is an honor), accepted him into his service, and made him the first recorded foreigner to receive the title of samurai. Yasuke was also one of the few people who dined with Nobunaga, which demonstrated the closeness of their relationship. He served Nobunaga until he committed seppuku and then his son Oda Nobutada until his defeat. Not much is known post that.

@@ianshaanThere is no record of Yasuke being able to speak Japanese or having a taste for some martial arts before he met Nobunaga(February 1581). Nobunaga's naming Yasuke is not particularly honorable, as it was just an easy name for the Japanese to pronounce at the time. Nobunaga did not give Yasuke the title of samurai. When a samurai is given a title, he is also given a family name, but Yasuke does not have a family name. No family name = no samurai. After the Honnoji Incident(June 1582), Akechi Mitsuhide released Yasuke, whom he had captured. If Yasuke had been a samurai under Nobunaga, Mitsuhide would have ordered him to be beheaded or commit seppuku. However, since Yasuke was not a samurai, he was released. After his release, Yasuke was temporarily placed in the custody of the Nanban Temple, but no record of his subsequent care remains. Yasuke served Nobunaga for only about one and a half years, and there is no record that he participated in any battles or made any achievements during that time. The history you know is a history fabricated by Thomas Lockley or UBI.

@@dingdongdang3944Yasuke was a samurai, that is a historical fact. He also took part in a battle. The fact the rest of his life isn’t documented doesn’t mean he didn’t do anything else, and gives Ubisoft creative freedom. You being salty about a black character in this game is telling. Cry more loser.

​@@dingdongdang3944 Nice comment. I'm so sick of these corporate simps saying we the gaming community complain too much. Well at least most of us don't want to felate Ubisoft.

its not really that big of a deal. One black guy, real or not, isn't going to falsify Japanese history. And plus the japaense falsify their own history. Don't ask them what they did in nanking.

Realest comment so far. Finally. I get the Ubisoft hate, but all people wanna do is bring up Ghost of Tsushima when it was built off Assassins Creed..... GoT is not revolutionary, new or different: Say you hate Ubisoft and go. Anyways thanks

@@byksEBM if people hate ubisoft then there are reasons and most of them are valid

​@@hareendrangangadharan6974 Absolutely right. Blame Ubisoft. Tsushima would not exist without Assassins Creed, but they're downplaying the series which was around way before them and a game that is still several months away from existing...Brain dead. People are cowards, criticize Ubisoft and stfu about AC simple

​@@byksEBMwe criticize because we are the reason Ubisoft is what it is.... If there weren't any gamers Ubisoft Wouldn't be here. Besides if you have played assassins games you'd agree that with more progression in the series, it's only adding good visuals with zero plot, unnecessary diversity, unnecessary mechanics (like prone) and trash timing. Like bringing up the game at times like this. Look how GTA 6 was revealed and the timing was perfect for curious people out there.

@@prithivirajmohanta2958 Ubisoft need to do better, WAY better. But trashing Assassins Creed aint the way to do it... seems senseless to me

GoT is AC in Japan

Currently 75 hours in, playing new game plus. GoT is just so good.

fr can't wait

@@byksEBM yeah lol, people are just completely blind

@@byksEBM That’s the point. Looks like even third party games these days are better at being AC than AC itself 😂

IMO the trailer is a top 5 all time

AC1-AC4 era was top tier. ACU trailer slaps too

AC 3 and AC unity are the best trailers IMO

@@HahahMamaman AC2 cinematic, brotherhood, revolution, 3 and unity and even blackflag are way better in my opinion There’s just something missing from this trailer that I can’t put my finger on it

@@mniakan754 my top 5 are ac3, ac unity, ac revelations, ac brotherhood, and ac shadows.

I don't get why people are mad that you can pre order it before gameplay it's not like you have too 🤷‍♂️

​@@itay9345 Because of the release now, patch later mentality

​@NikZedika Where exactly did he say that?

Cry 😂

There’s only one reason they offer this ridiculous pre-order pricing; people will pay it. If I could sell worthless crap for hundreds of pounds I’d do it as well. Ubi are a business not a charity after all - if you don’t like it don’t buy it and it’ll go away.

So many games do that. It’s not like you have to preorder anyway. You still have 5 months to preorder after they show gameplay

@@HahahMamaman its predatory, why are you defending it?

@@MorTphyr it’s not predatory at all. There’s no incentive to preorder. The only people who are preordering are the people that would buy the game no matter what even if the gameplay was trash.

@@MorTphyr Btw gameplay will arrive in 3 days

@@MorTphyrit’s not predatory at all. You have all the way up until the games release to preorder if you so choose. By your logic the concept of preorders itself is predatory because they’re selling a game that hasn’t released. If you preorder something without knowing anything about it, that’s your fault. Preordering is a choice, it’s not mandatory and this applies across all games. We all hate Ubisoft but don’t be illogical, the preorder concept isn’t new and it’s your fault if you make a preorder with no information.

There is a shadow system in the GR games too. It's not as in depth as Splinter Cell, but being within a shadow increases the time it takes for enemies to recognize you, doesn't affect spotting distance though.

@@Maclues For sure. There was also the cloaking ability you could unlock that would increase the detection time. Would be great if Shadows also took the immersion from Ghost Recon; the covering yourself in mud/snow/dirt feature from Breakpoint.

Would be cool if Ubi did a lot of actually creative stuff but they’re content with releasing watered down versions of the Witcher at the moment 😂

Don't buy full stop, this is trash. I can see it a mile away.

Nah its Jin Sakai from Wish this time around 🫠

Witcher from Wish lol

I really liked syndicate, im probably in the massive minority with that but the world was smaller better contained. They implimented the grappling hook, the moving train base was awesome, the arkham combat was definitly watered down but it made the game loop just enjoyable enough to keep me engaged. It felt like a step in the right direction for the series.... then orgins comes along, that was really the start of the end.

​​@@hasuramapa4639jin sakai is Ezio from wish to begin with lol

@@holden4620 I think Syndicate from dusk until dawn was unbelievably beautiful. It was “good” during the day. But the recreation of London was a crowning achievement. I also liked the grappling hook and the setting.

One ordinary lemonade could start World War levels of outrage nowadays.

​@@bryanm498 who's fault is that?! 😂

​@@bryanm498people are addicted to outrage 😂

I want another Ninja Giden game, 3 didn’t really sit right with me personally

😢 they are trapped in the Hatrix

Personal opinion but for me the present day bits were always by far the weakest part. I've dropped off AC for other reasons but those bits always felt like filler when all the fun was in the past. I'm not claiming my opinion is the objective truth or anything , I just never really needed them

What’s the saying they use for its parading its dead body pretending it’s something that’s not. Basically they use the assassins creed name to sell shit that ain’t assassins creed.

Valhalla sold over 20 million copies, and made over a billion dollars. They have plenty of fans

You underestimate the lowest common denominator.

​@HahahMamaman from Valhalla to Mirage, how many didn't pick up Mirage? How many bought Valhalla on sale or in one of the combo packs? You need to learn how statistics work dude.

nowadays unless you transed into a female and announce yourself a non binary with a pedophile complex, i think not.

He is my favorite. Everyone is all up on Ezio. First game what made me fall in love with the game.

Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward and most importantly Desmond. I truly enjoyed all these characters and they're stories even tho Edward was really just a badass pirate that had nothing to do the assassins. Black Flag wasn't an AC title in spirit but it was an amazing pirate game. That said Altair & Desmond will always be my favs with the original story, closely followed by Ezio. RIP Assassins Creed

Controversial but true

Facts. Also they really dropped the ball with Desmond and ac3 because they majorly rushed the game

Wrong

You snooze you lose

$130 for the full experience as they are locking quest(s) behind the ultimate edition just like they are doing for Star Wars Outlaws.

Piracy is always another evil way 🌚

@@micheljolicoeur6094 you're talking about the single preorder quest? lmao otherwise you're talking about the season pass, which is common across the whole industry now

dont worry itll be free in a year

I been waiting for a Japanese assassins creed game for years, so regardless if its bad or not im still going to get it. If the combat is anything like Odyssey or origins ill be good.

I think you meant 15 years from now. Anyway if I was still playing this game five years from now, it’s the best game ever made and was worth the money.

@@HahahMamaman I care about preservation. I've been playing games since the mid 80s. I can still play those mid 80s games to, and sometimes I do. So, to each their own I guess.

Seriously? What modern game doesn't require an install? I'd rather buy ac shadows instead of black ops 6 anyway. At least with ac shadows you get a 30, probably 50 hour game instead of one with a 5 hour campaign.

Indeed where have you?

Getting old🙄

Yeah, nothing screams "I'm not suspicious" like a guy dressed in hooded robes from the previous games.

@MisterMonsterMan I'm assuming then you only play games that are 100% historically accurate if they are at all based on real life? You must have a very empty gaming library. If Shadows turns out to be garbage, it's not gonna be because one of the characters back story isn't exactly true to history is it? Valhalla used real historical figures both Scandinavian and Saxon, Odyessey used real historical figures, Origins used real historical figures etc etc.....how accurate were those charecters? NOT AT ALL ACCURATE!! Where was the outcry then? It's a videogame ffs stop being so pathetic

@@stoneagepig3768 All AC games have use historical characters, but they were supporting characters. The assassin was always a fictious person who found themselves in the middle of a mess. They never gave a real historical figure to play as, especially one that was outside of the cultural setting. We don't play an Asian Viking or Japanese Greek warrior. Conner is a great counter, as he's a Native American and minority. But fans love him because his character fit the narrative world at the time and he's a well written character.

I guess you also boycotted ac revelations, because you were playing as an Italian in the Ottoman Empire. So disrespectful to their culture.

​@@HahahMamaman Italy wasn't that far from what is modern-day Turkey. Ezio could be there by boat or by land in a matter of days.

@@georgejones5019 Yasuke actually went to Japan in real life. Ezio is a made up character. Ezio sounds more like forced diversity than Yasuke.

@@HahahMamaman because you can go play ghosts of tsushima

@@ahazu1445ghost is so boring and bad and you can’t skip cutscenes no thanks rise of ronin is actually a better game

@@ahazu1445 ghost of tshushima isn’t similar to ac at all. Ac has better stealth, better parkour, better graphics, and based on the leaks it sounds like more mechanics than GOT. Ghost is a samurai game with stealth in it, while shadows is a stealth game with a samurai in it. They’ll play very differently.

@WeKNOWTHETRUTHITSUNDISTPUTED the game is a masterpiece, years better than any ac ubisoft has ever put out, also why would you want to skip the story of a single player game?

My head cannon is that the templars tried to erase him from history, which is why he barely has any information about him from that time period

You don’t even know how they tackled the story and already claiming it “can’t work”. Having 2 characters actually gives you multiple perspectives?

​@@gunplakiwihigh expectations from Ubisoft

Pretty sure it went down like that: We need a character. Ideas? How about a women, that's super inclusive and stuff. But the male audience won't like that. We need a man. How about we add a man as well. A samurai but he's black lol. A black samurai? Nobody will buy that. I know, but hear me out: there was a SINGLE BLACK SAMURAI who is known to history, that's the way we can do it! All right, so a ninja woman and a historical black samurai it is. Perfect, we are such a modern company!

@@toonixno need to be mad it’s just brown pixels vs white pixels. Just mod him into a white man so you can play comfortably 😂

For good reason half these game companies have turned greedy. They send out half assed games just to make quick bank and then later release the content they cut out on purpose and call it “New Features” or DLC.

Make clothes affect camoflage, black clothing in darkness, brown clothing is better in dirt/wooden area, green in grass and foliage etc.

Make enemy search for far longer if we're spotted, once you're compromised everyone who was told about you in the location should be on guard, no more oblivion "Huh, must be the wind..." kind of npc after you sit in the corner for 30 second.

While that may be more realistic, it would seriously hurt gameplay. People want to be able to wear whatever clothes they think are cool. They also don’t want to have to wait to continue the mission.

I haven’t played any AC games since syndicate so can you explain what ESG is?

@@mniakan754woke shit. ESG is a social credit score for business to make sure they are checking boxes and worthy of leftist run investment firms money. Making your game about samurai have a black man was for this reason, it’s why it’s the first time you play as a historical character because there were no other black people so it would be even less believable. They also made him A master samurai even though he was in country for just a few years and never saw battle.

@@johnschwalb well that explains a lot that I don’t particularly care about either way since it’s just a bunch of people yelling at each other on twitter for the sake of yelling at each other, I just straight up don’t trust the writing team at any Ubisoft studios cause they have some of the greatest IPs with amazing worlds and settings but then we end up getting Watch dogs legion, ghost recon breakpoint or the last 8 years of rainbow six siege
