Hi, Great thread.
Playing on PS4 Pro
Pros:
-Visually good looking environment
-Combat system works great and chains are more fluid than origins and counter attacking works well. Love the new ability moves i.e. Sparta kick, bull charge etc and its really fun to use them during chains.
-Love that you can choose between guided and exploration mode.
-customisation of your gear is better than its ever been and really makes the grind worth it.
-It has the right amount of ship battles and land combat so it adds variety (blag flag was far too much navel play).
-map is huge and full of places to explore
-Side missions seem shorter and not as repetitive as before which is good
-Choosing your path and speech options are big big pro in my opinion, cant wait to see how my action will play out throughout the game
-The conquest battles are fun and nice touch.
-the emersion of ancient greece is amazing and it feels great to climb and explore famous landmarks
Cons
-The quest list gets really cluttered and confusing, the game auto add tons of quests to the list that cant even be done till later on in the game.
- The Ariel 3D interactive map looks dull and its hard to distinguish what is what (origins you can clearly see the pyramids and other land marks on the map and it just looks neater)
-Dialog can be a bit dull and lifeless and sometimes not in sync with their voices.
-Parkour can be a little rough and slow.
-Traversing sometimes misses the ledge or whatever your trying to grab completely.
-Viewpoints are scattered quite far apart
-Missions and enemies levelling with you is something I'm not a fan of.
-Sometimes when trying to get from A to B by sea you get ambushed by loads of ships when you just want to travel.
-The stealth detection is overrated and needs improving, I find it too easy to get caught and even when you do a stealth kill someone always hears and sees it and then calls for backup.
-There is not enough incentive to play stealthy, I find the abilities and playing stealthy is not rewarding enough, I loved the stealth play in syndicate, AC123 etc this game seems like they wanted it to be more warrior mode rather than assassin.
-Getting black screen bugs every now and then
-The spear seems way to repetitive in its chain
-Its hard to know what to do first or what to do next.
-A lot of paths just take way to long to get where your going on horse back and take a longer route round rather than paths through mountains, so its easier to just climb everywhere, Greece is such a hilly place
Thats all I could think of for now but even so most of the cons I listed are not that much of a big deal.
