This sort of faux screenshot always wins 'Image of the Day'

This sort of faux screenshot always wins 'Image of the Day'

I do not understand how these are even captured or generated.. sometimes you'll see the "Photo of the Day" with an army marching with banners, or other sorts of dramatized images.. I don't see any options in Photo Mode to add these things into the image.. does anyone know how these are made?

Can someone please explain to me the modern day situation in AC Shadows?

Spoilers:

So after finishing all rifts I have no idea what's going on. Is it supposed to be like that? What is Dark Animus? Are Ego and The Guide AIs? Is this a way to explore modern day but set in the future?

Finished Crimson Desert, New Playthrough of Shadows since the launch (inc. the DLCs)

Just a few things (again, haven't played since the launch and first patches, I think)

  1. Did they drastically improve Parkour? Naoe seems to jump, flip, and fly everywhere now!
  2. Did they nicely improve the graphics on PS5Pro? Looks and feels really gorgeous on Balanced 40/120 so far.
  3. Did they make the game a little easier? I'm using the same default difficulty as before, but even at the young Naoe level she seems crazy strong, lol. Could be just my familiarity with the controls now, but still...
  4. What is all this new Animus stuff? Just ignore-able?
  5. Is Claws of Awaji a nice epilogue to the game? I found the original ending a bit...abrupt.

Had forgotten how gorgeous this game is-Crimson Desert was beautiful, but uneven at times. This game just feels so comfortable with itself.

My Kakurega at the Hideout

Just a little tour of my Kakurega and its conjoined galleries.

I placed it on the hill across the stream. I have placed Kassandra by the front door. In the first picture you can kind of see a Nobunaga crest flag in front of the gallery to the right indicating Yasuke's side. Unpictured: the Rooftop Cat(Assassin Hood) and Tsuki-maru the stray dog. In the main building I also placed the Assassin Crest.

Naoe's gallery:

-set 1 includes; Yukari's armor, Renaissance Robes, Noh Masterpiece costume.

-Set 2; Mamushi Snake Robes, Swift Shinobi Robes, Tool Master Gear

-Weapon set; Tsuyu's Bo, Iga's Flame, Eagle Head kasurigama.

Note: If I am currently using a weapon I don't place it on display even though I can such as Tsuyu's Katana.

Yasuke's Gallery:

- Set 1; Master Archer, Protector Armor, Ship Captain

- Set 2; Destroyer Samurai Armor, Samurai Daimyo of Legend, Fishscale Beserker Armor

- Weapons; Hero's Message, Crimson Edge(sensei's sword), Vengeful foe.

I do have another gallery that asks for magical/ish/dlc items and I might feature that on another post.

Any tips

I preordered shadows last year and got around 10-20 hours into it, remembered unlocking yasuke and then deleted it, because of a broken hand.
I’m downloading it now and remember feeling kind of clueless and that the story was nonlinear, and while I love open world it just made me feel like I was running around without a plan.
Is there anything I can do as I boot it up with the settings storytelling-wise?
Gimme some of your tips and tricks, thanks!:)

Yasuke’s “can block unblockable attacks” engraving not working in domains

Is this normal? Are abilities supposed to not work either? I don’t know much about domains but they kind of pmo

Bring on black flag

So I finally finished all of the dlc that came out for shadows and honestly had a good time. While shadows wasn’t the best creed game I ever played it definitely was a lot of fun.

Now I’m ready to set sail on the jackdaw again in black flag resynced.

u/Eraserhead36 — 13 hours ago

Are the domains frustrating or is it just me?

I figured out pretty quickly that nape wasn’t gonna win the boss fight so switched to yasuke.
But seriously how am I supposed to take on 4 dudes that are just coming at me constantly? I don’t even have time to dodge or parry.
I’ve been in the first domain for over an hour now and I’m ready to fuck it off completely

I have a little question about the Animus rifts 🤔

Hi! I have a quick question for anyone who's finished AC Shadows and is planning to play AC Black Flag Resynced

To give some context, I used to be a huge fan of Assassin’s Creed, but with Odyssey, I stopped playing the series because I wasn’t a fan of the RPG direction

This year, I caught up on the series, gave Odyssey another chance (which I ended up loving), and I plan to move on to Valhalla and Shadows, which I’ve never played

However, I learned that in Shadows there are no present day sequences, and that they’ve replaced them with Animus rifts

Apparently, Black Flag Resynced is going to do the same thing, remove the present day segments that were in the original, and replace them with Animus rifts

Could someone explain what the Animus rifts are, and whether they’re important to the present day storyline? Because I would potentially like to play Black Flag Resynced as soon as it comes out, but I’m not sure if it would be better to play it after Valhalla and Shadows instead

Also, I heard that Shadows apparently released an update with a “true ending”, I’m not sure if that will be connected to the rifts in Black Flag Resynced

Thanks for your answers! 🙏

AC Shadows take 25 minutes to load

As the title states, my game takes FOREVER to load, and I don't know why. I've tried reinstalling, disabling in-game overlays, etc. My rig can run the game just fine, and it used to until I got a new SSD. I'm guessing that's the problem, but I can't find ANYthing to help with this issue. Does anyone know anything about it?

Naoe Vs. Lvl 10 Students

Dazed shuriken with the yukimitsu’s revenge tanto is crazy. Daze is the best affliction to use in a lvl 10 domain, especially against the students. I posted a build video yesterday but here it is in action against a level 10 boss. Being able to roll around and afflict enemies with poison with the “ dodge deals 50% weapon damage” is amazing also. With this build I clear lvl 10 domains faster than Yasuke lol. If you don’t have the aot headband engraving from the store you can also use “10% chance of critical hit on vulnerable enemies”. Maxed out is 20%.

Jaws of Awaji DLC

I can’t trigger the quest that accesses the DLC.

- I’ve completed the main story
- All Yasuke and Naoe’s stories are done
- No League quests open
- It’s downloaded

What am I missing?
