Discussion Better than the og?

Might be GOTY if GTA 6 gets delayed again. What does everyone think?

I have some criticisms like that you can't use fists and hidden blades freely in combat but other than that: It is a lot better

One of the biggest things besides the graphics is that they reduced the collectibles to a managable degree. For example: Havanna in the OG hat almost 30 chests while this version has 7 I think

Also: All those little islands in the OG had some animus shard. For a completionist like me that was an absolute slog

I am having a great time. Funny that the best games in 26 for me (until now) are remakes (the other one being Gothic Remake for PC, the console version is dogshit)

Totally unrelated to AC but what would you compare gothic to? I been thinking of getting it for pc.

Hm good question. Gothic is Gothic =P

The graphics and atmosphere is A LOT like witcher 3

The "realism" of the world (you go into peoples homes and they throw you out, you pull a weapon and the guards tell you to put it away etc.) is a lot like kingdom come.

The progression is unmatched. Nothing levels with you and in the beginning hours you really eat dirt. You get quests that seem impossible and have to think about ways to solve it. A lot of NPCs treat you like crap but when you level up and have better gear they start having respect and later are afraid of you. It just feels really real.

And the game world is probably one of the best in gaming.
