Alright, so imagine this: you’re chilling on your couch, diving deep into the latest Assassin’s Creed game — Shadows. Yeah, it’s that one set in 16th-century Japan. And bam! There’s a fresh update, hot off the virtual presses. And let’s be real, updates are kinda like little gifts. Or like, necessary evils? Anyway, this one’s called Title Update 1.0.4 on some platforms, but 1.006 on others. Honestly, who’s keeping track?
So, the buzz is all about this free story quest they’ve shoved in there. Ever heard of Luis Frois? Nope? Me neither. But apparently, him and our main peeps, Naoe and Yasuke, are now besties, trying to figure out how Jesuits are spreading across Japan. Oh, the drama. Honestly, every update should come with juicy backstories like this.
There’s character bios now too — finally! Because let me tell you, keeping track of everyone in these games is like trying to remember all your high school teachers. Impossible, right?
And bug fixes. All games have them – it’s what makes them endearing. Or annoying. Depends on my mood. Anyway, they’ve tackled those pesky bugs, like the ones where Yasuke’s personal quest would just give you the cold shoulder. Talk about a quest ghosting you.
Here’s a random one: apparently, you could destroy some props near religious altars before, but now? Rock solid. Why was this ever a thing? I mean, leave the holy stuff alone, y’know?
But yo! Have you ever been booted outta a shop when trying on headgear in a game? Like, the shopkeeper sees you and just nopes you out? Not anymore. And speaking of shops, no more clones of items, so your inventory won’t look like a glitchy déjà vu nightmare.
And ghosts! Well, sort of. There was this odd thing where deer were just, like, photobombing the main roads. Too zealous, those digital deer. They’ve been given a time-out now.
Ah! And one for the stealthy folks. Who knew crouching during a sprint would turn you into some crouch-speed demon? It’s like discovering your hidden superpower, but probably not how the game devs intended.
But the real kicker? The game still throws a few side-eyes with those annoying little glitches. Like, why do letters onscreen not automatically close during fights? Imagine getting a sword to the gut while reading — talk about a buzzkill.
Anyway, these fixes are like patchwork quilts. Some parts just oddly came together, and others? Well, they’re like those awkward family photos you can’t get rid of. But hey, at least we’re here for the journey, right?
