I feel if you did the bare minimum and played on easy you could complete it that quickly. I played that long and am not even close.

Getting orbs is going to take a lot of time to do as well, as well as the side shit.

I'm playing one difficulty from the hardest. Agree that getting all orbs will take time

oh man - that fight was so unfair...i did it at level 11 (or was it 12).  I think i spent like 3 hours retrying that shit

The aftermath was insane - there were like 25 dead mini boars by the time i was done with it.  I don't get how that wasn't fixed in a patch.

Game is now in my Uplay account but I don't see anything about progress.

Also, I finished the game including all three plot lines via streaming hah ugh

Arthur Gies claimed to have finished the campaign in ~6 hours.

Makes sense.

Also, I thought I've been thorough with orb searching but there are so many...

"Agility Orbs: There are 750 Agility Orbs to find in Crackdown 3"

I'm having fun with the game.  Doesn't seem like a very long game at that too.  I have already cleared about half the map (not including races) and collected about 200orbs - in 4 hours

Just get an enhanced id?  That's what I did. I personally prefer not to carry around a passport unless I'm leaving the country.  

I actually tried div1 again but on legendary. that was a bit ridiculous and not expected. i started to read about how much you need to worry about specific gear + rerolls etc and got turned off by the idea. I think I get less hyped about the game when I realize I need to waste time grinding for gear - yes I realize this is a loot game but even after playing many hours of div1 I rarely ever cared beyond something giving me some boost in gear score.

Well he's a character in the game so it would only be right for him to promote the game as well.

I can change my wording to say that they included him in the game for the same reason

It jumped the shark the moment they decided to have Terry Crews promote the game - not that I don't like Crews...just that they needed to resort to getting a celebrity to get some attention

No point in upgrading till Cyberpunk 

Only games I'm really interested are Last of Us 2 and Cyberpunk neither of which have been confirmed for this year. Everything else is wait and see.

Division 2 is $43 on the Epic launcher vs full price on Uplay

It's getting trashed yeah

Hah Thailand had them for Mcdonalds and KFC.  I haven't seen kiosks deployed in New York but then again I don't frequent fast food places that often either.

You can order via app for most of them though.

My brother has the LG oled 86.  I can't tell it's any better than my Sony 1080p TV from years back.  Granted I haven't really seen any 4k hdr content on it though

I have been wanting something to scratch the SSX itch I have. Portal knights I don't know anything about it.

I wouldn't consider Steep a SSX itch reliever - I loved it but its more "realistic" compared to SSX for a winter sports video game. As a snowboarder, I loved it.  I think some of the challenges were a little too extreme in terms of expectations of perfection to get 3 stars but otherwise I enjoyed my play time with the game.

You made a mistake by avoiding it cause you would have loved it even more watching it on IMAX :P it was amazing

I go back and forth between this and RDR2. When I’m playing Ass Odysssey I find myself missing the audio design, the insane level of detail in the world, and the more specific focus on character interaction. When I’m playing RDR2 I miss playing a game that controls competently and has a character that moves at a reasonable pace.

Yeah, I guess that's how I feel too

So I'm on my way to Andros ... of course it has you sail through several locations you haven't been to yet with side quests popping up if you're near the coast...did you guys just ignore and made your way to Andros?

Has anyone played this after RDR2? I enjoyed my time immensely with that game and while I like Odyssey so far the level scaling / grind is starting to get to me (currently level 13). 

I think I was ok with level scaling until fighitng the legendary boar.  I think it's assanine to have to spend over 30 minutes (not including number of retries) to kill it because the boar and it's children are all at the same level as you

That also has made me wonder whether I want to continue with the game because it was ridiculous. When I finally was done with it, there were like 16 child boars dead.  Don't think it makes sense to keep spawning them and at the same level

Ah ok good to know

Though I just wasted an hour trying to kill the legendary boar. This level scaling is bullshit but the spamming little boars every time a chunk of energy is depleted is just plain stupid

I think if you wanna max your boat, you should clear the areas that red icons that look broken towers, they’re normally associated with ruins. They have the tablets that you’ll need to level up different aspects of your ship. I saw some for sale at a blacksmith, but I am not sure if that’s a recent thing they patched.

I haven't noticed those icons yet but I have found tablets. Wasn't clear what the use is for. Interesting.

What level are you?  I'd pick up the heal skill stat so you're not having to run away and heal.  Get those parries and dodges down!  Also poison weakens the enemy's defense/atk as well as do damage over time. 

 

After playing more around with the skills, I am really liking the Ring of Chaos move...it's like an AOE proximity blast that clears crowds around you and knocks them down.  I found it more useful than spartan kick or shield breaker.  Then while they are down, you can combo them with normal attacks.  Also if you have elemental weapons or have fire/poison skill activated, the DOT build up is applied on the move.

 

 

I'm level 11 currently but I have only used one skill point. Not sure how many I have but last time I checked I had 7 lol. I was thinking of doing fire instead of poison but we'll see. I'll definitely look into the other skills.

I was going to get the kick yeah but seems like I'll skip and try to get the Ring of Chaos

The must dos would just be the main missions and side quests you come across. Clearing out every bandit camp and collecting every treasure will get tiresome, but you can do so if it will help you level up. 

 

Avoid fighting anyone that is more than 1 level above you. You will just die a lot and be frustrated.

Yeah, I've been clearing out camps but then keep thinking how many I've done so far and I've barely done much on the map so far - it seems like it will be tiresome pretty quickly.

I didn't find it too bad as long as there is not a mob of other enemies fighting you at the same time.  1v1 fights you should have no problem.  If you have a Hunter build, you can typically pick them off and whittle them down with arrows as well.

 

If you care about ship cosmetics, definitely do the sunken ship explorations.  You sometimes get new sail or a crew as a reward.  Agree with Pikachu on the rest.

I've been able to handle it yeah when it's 1v1 but it involved a lot of running away to gain back health while hiding. Takes a while to do, though. I haven't paid too much attention to builds but I'll look into it. I may do as Pikachu says avoid confrontation for now

And ok on the sunken ships!  I see a few on the map but forget to check them as  I travel. Will make sure to check next time.

So what are must dos in this game?  Because there's just too much stuff to collect etc whenever I use the eagle to spot stuff.

Also do you typically avoid bounty hunters that 2-3 levels above you?

I've played about 5 hours and I've been ok with the quality. I rarely see lag issues and yeah I see macro-blocking every once in a while but overall I've been happy with it. Should be interesting to see how the game looks when the Uplay copy is provided
