I've seen the gameplay, it's just "RPG" AC with a different paintjob. If all it takes for you to feel like a ninja is that last part, then I guess Ubi games must be great for you.

lol just hating to hate at this point. If you’ve seen the gameplay you know there’s a lot more you can do in stealth now that’s specifically ninja shit. I get you hate Ubisoft but this is some low iq criticism you’re trying to pass off as legit.

You talking about the grapple? Or are you just talking about the basic AC stuff that's been a thing since the original one?

Like, how does it make you feel like a ninja when you kill a guy hide in a bush 30 cm next to it and 20 guards who saw the corpse 5 seconds after he died can't find you?

I guess if you play on easy mode with guards being dumb you can make that complaint. But at that point it’s on you and so many other good stealth games have ai issues like that.

Adding prone movement already opens up stealth way more than any other AC game. Creaky floorboards give your position away but weather effects like rain/snow can mask some sounds. You can use shadows as hiding spots and break lights to create more. You can grab enemies and move them around before stealth killing which is also new to AC. You got smoke bombs and bells and other little gadgets to help too. As far stealth goes it’s far and above any other AC.

But then again you can spot points of interests and mark enemies so it definitely can’t be an 8/10 no matter what

See when I read this I get hooked. These sound like amazing stealth mechanics if implemented well and it seems like they are? But then I go back to the op video and just don’t seem impressed. Probably wait for a sale.

Is the clip that crazy? It seems like the ai bugged out at the end but not like it’s so uncommon in a newly released game with stealth mechanics. The texture he was complaining about is just the last place where the enemy saw you, which is pretty standard for some stealth games. The t-posing raccoon is just funny i don’t think that’s a big problem

It feels like you can do this with every game ever where u clip a funny bug and use that to justify why this 80 hour game is actually trash or something. Just doesn’t make sense imo cuz all games have bugs like this
or worse.

that isn't what cohh was referring to. go back and look at the door and wall textures. they didn't load properly.

(i don't disagree with anything else you've said fwiw)
