If its locked use your crow to find the key. Barred doors are usually a wooden wall you shoot out, a rock wall you use exploding pots on, or you just find an open window to shoot the bar.
I like it. Mixes things up with little environmental puzzles.
The "puzzles" with the big S gold bars & Skills usually are half decent. A few are good. The small yellow gold icons ones can be an S & not rewarding.
I put in around 8 hours over the weekend I’m still not to England yet just taking my time. I’m loving this game and it looks gorgeous. I constantly have to stop and take in the view.
Some of them won't open until a mission opens it. That's the ones I get stuck on, because I go into areas before a mission wants me to and I waste time trying to find a way in.
Yeah, those fortresses with closed gates usually have me climbing and flying around the walls to look for entry, give up and find that a siege mission is needed to breach it lol
I found a house that wasn't marked. No treasure or mystery attached to it but the basement led to a cavern which led to a challenge. A challenge I needed to complete for Excalibur.
Only thing that frustrates me is how stingy the game is with raw materials. My guy is a level 78 but I'm still doing level 20-55 missions... I like to explore. And the visuals just make it fun. That and the world events.
I couldn't figure out why half of the equipment I was wearing wasn't showing up until noticing something at the bottom about L3 or R3. Not sure why things were being set to hidden by default when I didn't set them that way. The last update made sound cutting out worse, audio crackling and even the Ubisoft logo doesn't make a sound when loading the game.
I've had numerous bugs in Asgard which makes me not want to go back, an annoying bug which doesn't allow me to follow the little kid in your settlement, and whenever I load up the game he always says "where are they"? Multiple crashes and weird audio glitches. Still enjoying it but cumon Ubisoft sort it out.
Do you have the dodge slowdown? I just fought my first one (im level 85) and he didn't even touch me. It's basically dodge attack, attack, rinse, repeat. Don't forget to use your abilities (I love that jump attack one). light bow is also great for going after weak spots.
I really like the light bow. I use it with the slow time ability to get off a lot of shots to weak points, and the skill that increases damage with consecutive hits with the light bow. I'm now in the habit of always drawing my bow to see the weak points and go after those first for any tough enemies. Plus, repeated hits of weak points drains their stamina allowing for a heavy damage stun attack.
Its going to be hard to put this down for Cyberpunk next week because I'm having a lot of fun as a Viking.
Completely forgot Cyberpunk is coming out for the last gen consoles early December. I think I might wait for the next gen version though... That's due in Q1 next year?
At least on Xbox, you only need to buy the one version. Cross save across platforms has been confirmed, the offical "next gen" version will just be an upgrade patch. Not 100% sure how PS5 is handling it, but I assume it's similar, if not identical.
I am pretty sure it's identical, since CDOR don't do that nickel and dime anti consumer
I think nearly all of The Order of Ancients targets I've killed so far have just happened to be unintentional casualties living in an area I was raiding.
The bow gameplay remain me how bad it is to aim with a controller. Also shooting at „weak spot“ like leg is as impractical in the game as in real life.
Gets better if you turn off auto aim.
Also, regarding 3rd person aiming... Never thought I'd say this, but I'm now convinced the switch motion aiming is the best solution for these types of games on console.
This game is so addicting. Around 10pm last night I told myself I needed to turn it off and go to bed, it was close to 3am when I finally did....
I never used anything but a controller to aim so I'm used to it. I use the slo-mo ability most of the time to target weak points which makes it much easier to hit. I have all 4 adrenaline slots unlocked so that ability is almost always available to me. And since we can rapid fire the light bow I can spray and pray.

Where is the slow Mo ability ? Yellow , red or blue? I'm assuming the blue?
