Going off on a bit of a tangent here, but does anyone know where I can get a super cheap copy of Creed Unity? I realised the other day, that it's the only one I haven't completed.

If you have an Xbox one it is about fifty pence.

It may be worth trying with the memory at 2666. When I had a 1700X the memory would pass any stress test I could throw at it but many games would crash if the memory was clocked > 2666, and that was with B-die although on a B350 board.
I'm not a Ryzen hater, just providing my own experience in case it's helpful.

many thanks, i'll give that a go.

i am concerned about the heat from my GPU, the back plate is scoulding hot.

I have the Aorus 1080Ti which IIRC reaches ~ 73C in the same game - I'll double check that tonight. It is a very graphically demanding game.

@silent, just to confirm after 90 mins of playing my GPU averaged 74C.

ok thanks guys. i've set my ram at 2666 speed to see if that works. will try tonight

Thinking of getting this but seems kinda expensive if I want the full experience with its season pass, may wait for the goty edition. Is this game worth it just for the base game alone and maybe come back later on and play through all the dlc once released.
How will it play on my pc:
6700k stock
16gb ram
1080 hybrid
3440x1440

The game is excellent, and definitely worth it. The dlc however, is absolutely crap so don't worry about missing that

mid_gen · 7 Feb 2018 at 08:32

Yeah the base game is huge and totally worth the price....DLC is pretty meh, more fun to be had 100%ing the main game imo.

Glanza · 7 Feb 2018 at 08:37

You'll be fine with those specs, I'd hold off on the season pass until the 2nd one drops and people get to play that, so far imo it's been a huge let down for £35.

bakes0310 · 7 Feb 2018 at 09:38

Fair enough I think I'll just buy the base game on my next pay day at the end of the month, I'll wait on the season pass till they are all out then see if it's worth it.

Deluxe edition is that worth the £3 quid extra?

If you want the outfit and mounts maybe, your outfit isn't set by your armour unlike other rpgs so you can wear whichever outfit you like once unlocked.

Is the 3 skill points worth it from the start?

Not needed, you get a point everytime you level up, clear a tomb, do a hermit location and level up once you hit level cap. By the end of my playthrough I'd unlocked everything on the ability tree and chucking points into master ones.

Okay I'll save the £3 for the original.

Just bought the standard edition, can't argue for £30.

What's the recommended difficulty setting on this and can the game be played with no HUD. Not to compare it to Witcher 3 but that game is a lot better on death march and HUD off.

Jason_Sturgess · 9 Feb 2018 at 09:24

The MSI 1080 Ti on ultra settings at 1440p will give you a non stop 80 FPS in this game.... not sure why so many of you get so hot mine stays at around 60c to 65c on max load but then I do have my profile curve to kick in when it reaches 60c and fans run at 100%

The game is stunning thou but it just feels like a grind , currently at level 15

I made a little Vid here at ultra settings.

No recommended but they added Nightmare for people who wanted a 'real' challenge, you can drop the difficulty via in game menu whenever if that is too hardcore.

Been looking at the hi res screen grabs for this and got to say it looks amazing. My boy has it on Xbone and looks pretty good on that platform too.
Just grabbed it from CDkeys for 29.99 cant wait to play it.

Just doing the daily quests at the moment while I wait for the final DLC. Will miss this game once it is finished. It has been very entertaining.
