    Far Cry Eagle breaks Assassins Creed

    Scope out an erea with an eagle before you enter?
    How immersive
    *sarcasm*
    Stop putting drones in your games.
    Thanks.

    Put some protective tape over the up on the d-pad. Problem solved.

    Joking aside I take the eagle over X-ray. And it's a way to see the beautiful world and crazy draw distance.

    One way to think of it: In the real/historical world, the Eagle makes shrieks depending on what it sees, so Bayek gets some idea as to what's on the landscape, its distance & direction, etc.

    In the game/Animus, this kind of representation can be approximated by a drone mode for the Eagle. So there's no consciousness transfer between the man and the eagle, but the change in perspective is a way of conveying to us, the information conveyed to Bayek by the eagle.

    I never used the bird in Far Cry... not because of a conscious decision to not use it.... just because I never felt a need to use it. Some people might be coming to the AC series for the first time and may well need to rely on some options to make the game a little easier to learn and progress.... so a feature should never be removed just because some people do not want to use it.

    As Sushiglutton rightly said.... Put some protective tape over the up on the d-pad. Problem solved. but basically don't use it if you feel it is not intended for you.

    The thing about mechanics is that it effects level design..
    If not then what a bunch of garbage designers... (I say this knowing they arent garbage)
    Or what a lazy exist just to exist add on
    It isnt as simple as dont use something if you dont like it...
    Because the world and missions were deisgned with the eagle in mind
    So use it or not.. it still effects the game

    Seriously? If we have to climb towers in every single district, in order to scout the entire area and define missions and side-missions, you people criticise. If we get an eagle that can scout the area, if we want, you people still criticise.

    Things never change.

    People do make fun of 'all those radio towers' in Ubisoft games; and now that seems to be replaced with complaints about drones.

    I'd rather climb towers than the eagle tbh though. I've never seen anyone complain about towers only about the eagle even when it was just a leak/rumour. It feels so much more rewarding when you reach the top and sychronise the view than just calling a pet Eagle (which doesn't make sense).
