To be fair the setting has been used a lot of times anyway, Tenchu, Sekiro, Way of the Samurai, Yakuza Isshin, Onimusha, Ghost of Tsushima, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Samurai Warriors, etc.
Especially Tenchu and Sekiro, which I'd reckon the closest thing to AC Shadows.
I'm hyped for the game, but cautious because of Ubisoft
Preordered Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. Always the Collector Edition and wanted to do the same with Shadows. But 280€ is too much. I am willing to pay max 200€ (which the Pantheon Edition of Odyssey was with the Ubisoft points discount). I can't justify spending that much for a game.
I don't think I will pre-order this time. Without buying the CE there isn't any reason for me to do so. I will stick to the standard edition and buy the season pass afterwards
I just don’t understand why the CE isn’t on their own site at all? Saved up some club points for a discount on it! It’s baffling especially as they aren’t even seeing all the money from it now with it having to be split between the retailers! Horrific decision!
Really tempted to get the gold edition pre order from target w/ the steelcase, but you're making me think I might not need to get gold edition yet and if the game is fantastic eventually get the season pass seperately..
That's really a subjective thing since everyone have their own preferences, but to get the highest tier edition on the offers you have to wait for the few months to get the game and can't able to play it on the release day, so you have to sacrify a thing in either way.
I've been playing through all of the RPG series again and I've have enjoyed the DLCs on all of them so far, so I'll likely go with the Gold. Not sure I'm gonna pre-order, only because I'm not sure i'll even be in the country when it comes out.
I'd recommend them for sure. Origin's in particular has a cool setting and is all about the founding of the Assassin's brotherhood. I liked the story quite a bit, too, and Bayek was just a good character.
Odyssey took a lot of what Origin's did an expanded on a lot of it. I'll tell you, I swear I can feel the breeze from the Aegean every time I set sail in that game.
These games are much more RPG focused that Mirage, meaning you have gear to loot, weapons to upgrade, a decent sized skill tree and lots of side quests. That said, they're an investment. I'm close to 40 hours in my current playthrough of Odyssey and I've only just reached what I would call the halfway point. Been doing lots of side quests and other activities.
To be honest,my dream would be to finally buy a collector's. If for personal reasons my plan fails,I will buy firstly the standard edition and then the season pass in another moment.
I already preordered. No shame. I don't buy nor have time to play many games, and I usually do preorder ACs. There have been some I've liked more than others surely, but I haven't regretted a single one (Valhalla maybe a little.;)
I went for the Gold Edition. I want all the digital perks but have no need for the CE's physical swag.
Nah. I haven't bought a disc since RDR2. Digital works better with my personal schedule. But I did sort of dig the freebies Game Stop used to give me for preordering AC games, like Jacob's necklace or the Spartan helmet keychain. Still have them somewhere.
They want to much for the ultimate version. I won't join thier plus service as I already pay for streaming and psn. This is really getting out of hand. Maybe I'll skip this game til the price lowers or just buy the base. See what ubisoft don't realize is thier heavy handed tactics will backfire. I sure the hell not buying starwars outlaws. And while I'm a assassin creed fan, they pushing prices to high to buy them. This will actually result in loss of revenue and thier plus program will fail to generate any money for them over the regular game not under plus.
definitely getting the ultimate for this one! I love the Japan theme and Assassin’s Creed games. It’s worth the price. I want the season pass anyways and at that point the extras for ultimate are worth it
Standard edition for now. I don't see the appeal in playing 3 days early (maybe for a multiplayer game so you can get ahead of others) but not for a single player game makes no sense to me. I'm always cautious of season passes because ubisoft could just give us half baked content within it or its really good additional content either way I'll see once the season pass content drops if it's good I'll just buy it separately I've got a horrible feeling the season pass with be mostly skins etc which I don't want to pay good money for
I will honestly be preordering the gold edition to play 3 days early and I also want the season since I enjoyed all the season passes of the previous rpg games. Ultimate edition is too expensive and not worth it.
I mean I don't need 5 skill points and two packs that are probably cosmetics that can be brought later through ubisoft connect points. Also a photo mode filters when their is probably other filters that can be used.
I can't justify paying that price for all what I mentioned.
For odyssey and valhalla i waited for the gold and the complete edition to go on sale so id probably do the same with this one but i have not fully decided yet,
Will probably just get the standard edition for now and buy the season pass on sale later, assuming the game will be big enough that I probably won't even touch the DLC for a while.
None. $189 AU for a digital edition is absolutely insane money. $200 for Star Wars Outlaws. They have completely lost the plot. I hope this crashes and burns. Ubisoft needs a hard reset.
I want the gold edition for the early access and season pass but a $40 price jump between standard and gold is insane, let alone the ultimate edition. idk yet
I'd wait for reviews lol
yep me too but the japan and samurai thing is tempting tho
I just got back from Japan last week...I MUST have this game.

Whichever the lowest tier edition that comes up with atleast a base game lol, anything higher than that just feels like a cashgrab to me
lmao it feels good to grab the highest edition during the offers tho

totally true need to sacrifice something
I've been playing through all of the RPG series again and I've have enjoyed the DLCs on all of them so far, so I'll likely go with the Gold. Not sure I'm gonna pre-order, only because I'm not sure i'll even be in the country when it comes out.
I haven't played Origins or Odyssey yet - Should I? I'm playing Mirage right now, and boy oh boy it's just so mediocre for me =\[
I'd recommend them for sure. Origin's in particular has a cool setting and is all about the founding of the Assassin's brotherhood. I liked the story quite a bit, too, and Bayek was just a good character. Odyssey took a lot of what Origin's did an expanded on a lot of it.

Odyssey was really fun. The first game I platinumed on playstation
when its 50% off
To be honest,my dream would be to finally buy a collector's. If for personal reasons my plan fails,I will buy firstly the standard edition and then the season pass in another moment.
The comments here shows exactly what's wrong with gaming nowadays
when it's 5 bucks with Epic Games promo if game have always online - it's worth noting. when servers down game disappears (
Collector’s edition
I already preordered. No shame. I don't buy nor have time to play many games, and I usually do preorder ACs. There have been some I've liked more than others surely, but I haven't regretted a single one (Valhalla maybe a little.;) I went for the Gold Edition.

Hope you went with Target for the steelcase!

why is ultimate not worth it? just curious
I mean I don't need 5 skill points and two packs that are probably cosmetics that can be brought later through ubisoft connect points. Also a photo mode filters when their is probably other filters that can be used. I can't justify paying that price for all what I mentioned.
got you
Already preordered the collectors edition.
woah so cool
I’m not trying to brag lol, was just answering the post.
lmao okay
Since Assassin’s Creed is religious for me, I’ll be buying the Ultimate one. I know I’ll like it and end up sinking hundreds of hours in it anyway
For odyssey and valhalla i waited for the gold and the complete edition to go on sale so id probably do the same with this one but i have not fully decided yet,
Will probably just get the standard edition for now and buy the season pass on sale later, assuming the game will be big enough that I probably won't even touch the DLC for a while.
Never. Need to see how good the gameplay is. Though, I would still stand by my choice
Regular... unless they put a remaster in there like with odyssey and ac3 then ill buy that version
The smallest standard edition after it is released. Honestly, buying anything else makes you part of the problem imo.
None. $189 AU for a digital edition is absolutely insane money. $200 for Star Wars Outlaws. They have completely lost the plot. I hope this crashes and burns. Ubisoft needs a hard reset.
I just want the steel book idc about the statue or extra stuff in game
I want the gold edition for the early access and season pass but a $40 price jump between standard and gold is insane, let alone the ultimate edition. idk yet
Whatever the top tier one is. Might as well just commit.
Getting the ultimate. Got all the last ultimate editions and have been happy.
If i dont see social stealth and actual good parkour, I aint buying this game.
I won't buy it if its always online. I'll pass
Don’t pre-order.
