Assassin's Creed Mirage

[Zivouhr]

It's good to see there is a little bit of exploration outside the main city from what I saw in the previews/reviews. Still has riding horses, etc. I'd love to see an actual jump button added to this series and most Ubisoft games.

I am a game preserver guy.
Now I am hesitating buying Ac Mirage on PS5 (Launch Edition). I would like to ask do you have any information on whether it works offline from the ps5 disc out of the box or it needs some online updates need to download before I can play.

Thanks for help!

Same, and I can't give you a definitive answer yet, I've been watching Does it Play? to see if they post about it. Valhalla works off the disc, whereas Origins and Odyssey both crash as soon as you have your first combat encounter. I can say that Mirage does not crash at the first combat encounter at least, but thats about it I don't know if there are any game breaking bugs yet.

Edit: If you're worried about a Call of Duty sort of situation where there is only 72mb on the disc, this definitely isn't one of those sort of deals. I booted up and played off disc content only for several hours.

When I buy a disc game, I always would expect it to play decently to good, but probably need updates to polish the game since the early days of DLC back in 2005 sadly. I've finished games entirely from the disc with zero updates, declining auto-updates every time I log onto the PSN store, which is rare.

And then I start hearing about games like HogLeg (Hogwart's Legacy) absolutely requiring a large update to be playable for the main game, which is ridiculous, though I think the packaging reveals "Internet connection required for download" or something. But how many people would know that when pre-ordering a disc game online? I agree that it's really awful when we get a broken mess of a game like Cyberpunk on disc (December 2020) for PS4 (though I got a full refund for that one and they let me keep the disc too). But yes, sadly the respect disc media used to get from developers and publishers is fading as games aren't completed onto the disc, but still in progress....

This game, 49.99, that's a nice price but makes me wonder how complete the game is without an update?

I wish this was an rpg I like the game but I hate how limited it is.

Finished this morning. Took 26 hours to platinum. Enjoyed it very much. Story was a little muddled, but not really in this for the story. Now to take a week long break before spiderman 2.

I'm considering buying this but would like some advice from fellow assassins.

I vowed to stop playing AC games after Odyssey. I don't like the direction the franchise went after Origins. It turned into a historical war simulator rather than a stealth type deal.

My favourite ones are 2,Black Flag and Unity (I played this well after it came out and all the problems were fixed by then).

Mirage looks more like the earlier games I like but, can anyone confirm if it's more like 2 (which I hope it is) or 3 (which I hope it isn't).

After finishing Hogwarts Legacy, i just started playing this (on PS4). Put a couple of hours in so far, definitely feels like a shift after the last few AC games (which i loved). I do love these desert city environments though. Origins is my favourite AC game.

[levcore]

Took me a good while to fully get into this, it feels and plays quite different from the previous 3 games. I'm still not a fan of the combat and find it a bit too tricky, combined with a lack of being able to level up. I also find the missions screen quite convoluted and confusing ha ha. Just lots of icons popping up here and there on that screen. Hard to tell what is what IMO.

The game as w hole has definitely clicked a bit more me now. I've put about 15 hours in and i'm enjoying it quite a bit now.

I just beat this, it's not good nor bad, very middle of the road, 6 out of 10. but it's the kind of mindless checklist game for my current mood

the last AC game i played was Origins (2017) which was awesome, but made me not want to look at another AssCreed in while, this one isn't as bloated and it didn't overstay its welcome, but by no means a 'small' game, still took me a couple of weeks to beat it

I couldn’t finish it. They need to go back to open world style. All they have to do is have us be actual assassin again. Or better yet have us switch between the creed and the Templars so we get it from both sides of the story but keep it open world.

No it’s not it’s very limited.

[levcore]

I guess it is technically open world, it's just the world is small compared to previous games.
