    Not so far anyway and I don't think there will be either.

    Ah I love the old base building whether it's a ship or homestead, etc. I read you can come across dead bodies of other real life players with gamertag names and you get a mission to avenge them by assassinating their killers, that's pretty class.

    Is there any modern day stuff in the game or is it set just in ancient times?

    There was one modern day thing so far but it was very short and you didn't have too do much.

    Cool. I always found the modern day missions boring as hell, not to mention the story for them is all over the shop at this stage.

    Taken from Reddit. I discovered a few hidden features with the Photo Mode that were not obviously given in the game.

    While editing focus with L3 (cursor active)


    -D-pad left and right will decrease/increase vignette effect

    -D-pad up/down will decrease/increase brightness

    -Right stick up/down will alter the strength of the depth of field / blur (which can make for some really good photos)

    -Right stick right adds film grain, right stick left decreases amount of grain

    Got 500 Helix credits with the season pass, anyone have a good recommendation on what to use them on?

    The Unicorn mount is obviously the front runner at the minute. :D

    Hahaha I picked up a shield and sword from the ubisoft rewards using those ubi point things but they weren't helix credits.

    Holding off using my helix points for a while but yes that unicorn is giving me the look! :pac:

    So far yes. After a few hours anyway. I feel I'm still a bit away from the meatier stuff which is promising.

    The new combat is definitely a game changer.

    I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and get it tomorrow. Cex offering me 52 quid for a couple of games and Argos are selling this for 60. Much better than the 75 in Gamestop.

    It is much closer to the first couple in terms of enjoyment for me anyway. Rocking the Altair costume.

    Only started this today since I didn’t get to finish Syndicate until yesterday evening but fcuk me this is deadly. Wish I had given up on completing it and played a bit of Witcher 3 instead because the combat is much closer to that than any other game in the AC series. I literally didn’t die a single time in Syndicate and only once in Unity but after playing this for a couple of hours now, I’ve already hit double figures. :o

    It’s not like Assassin’s Creed at all, I’d compare to a mix between Far Cry, Witcher 3 and Shadow of Mordor. Might sound bad to some, but it’s really not, loving it so far.

    The combat is very Witcher-esque alright, way easier to die in this than usual. No more button smashing either, you have to carefully time for parrying etc. The RPG-style system actually works well.

    I'm about 5 hours in, just got my hidden blade and I'm not bored of it yet, which means this is much better than any AC game for a long time.

    Just found the
    Watch Dogs
    easter egg in the modern day pause menu and it blew my mind a little bit. Didn’t think there was any connection between it and AC.

    I got the unicorn! Best purchase of my entire life, nothing is better than an Egyptian man dressed as Ezio Auditore riding around Siwa on a unicorn. :)
