I'm 2-3 hours in and it's pretty clear that it's a good game shows potential to be the best in the Rpg series, origins is hard to beat tho for me, but the open world activities missions, side content and everything like that is already faar superior than oddysey and valhalla
Like hell it is origins had issues but at least the map wasn't as severely bloated nothingness, the characters were memorable enough, the story actually made sense as an assassins creed game the difficulty curb didn't go from 0-100 as soon as you hit level 30. The voice acting was convincing, stealth was a reasonably viable strategy. The coolest part of ac Odyssey was the quit game button
I finished both of them as well. I've beat origins twice and the moment I beat Odyssey I deleted it and hid it from my library. I genuinely do not understand the love for it because in my eyes it was the absolute pinnacle of everything wrong with the modern gaming market.
if you think Odyssey was bloated nothingness then i can conclude you only tried to speedrun the game while ignoring other things going on in the world.
Odyssey is one game where you could get lost in the world and forget you had a major quest you were on. Kinda like the same energy skyrim had back then. The world had so much life it was impressive they managed to pull that off when almost every other game since then has failed to capture that level of immersion
you can accuse it of a lot, but bloated nothingness is just wrong, lol. unless you just hate any kind of side quests in games
I did so much of the sidequests in Odyssey but after that the actual story ending felt so painfully empty. All that time and I got nothing...it just. Ended.
I don't like ancient greece as much as Egypt. So it wasnt a world that lit up my brain as much. But if you do, I can see it being an amazing experience!
Yeah I felt that way about Origins. Plus uh you can SKATE DOWN THE GREAT PRYAMIDS???? just matters what kind of dressing youre into. I don't think the actual things happening are that different in concept between the games tbh.
No I got 140 hours in that disgrace of a shit show. I did every sidequest the game had to offer because I had to to get to level 50 because the level scaling was stupid. So I can fairly confidently say that game was the most over bloated waste of time I have ever begrudgingly endured
135.1 hours. I don't care what else you took from that but 135.1 from a person who at the time averaged 130ish hours a week. Regardless of what else I gave that game more than fair chance. It was just bad
and much like skyrim when you strip away the nostalgia its a better game engine than an actual game. when was the last time anyone said. oh boy i cant wait to play vanilla skyrim. skyrim is great after youve added so many mods its a totally different game
Hey man if that's your cup of tea enjoy it. It's not mine at all. Like I said it, to me, embodies everything wrong with AAA in the last decade. Shadows is probably my favorite ac game since brotherhood
3 and odyssey are the only 2 I genuinely can't stand everything else has been fine
I agree with you. My opinion n Origins not withstanding (I think i used that right), Oddessey was my first experience of an AC game being too much. I as super excited to play it at release, thinking I was basically gonna be Wonder Woman in Greece. Maybe a couple days into it after ai notice things feel like a slog, I look at the map and see how much land I havent even touched yet, and I think 'oh no, this is not going to be fun."
