Assassin's Creed Odyssey

İstatistiklere Bak:
AC: Odyssey is overrated.
The plot is shallow. The quests are repetitive. The characters are unfun. The environment is big yet lacks in-depth content. Seriously I would just play Witcher 3 instead.

*Launching Witcher 3.

Well, I have a few things to say about AC:O. Also, I haven't play AC since ACII, no DLC's, and that was when those games were originally released.

I got this game on sale some months back, but it's only been this July 4th weekend I actually took the time to play it. I've put in maybe three or four hours, and already, I can tell I'm not going to enjoy it.

Why?

1. The story-telling is just silly, edgy-teenager stuff. I'm too old for Ubisoft's brand of story-telling. When some of you kids get older, you'll understand. I don't expect anyone to relate to what I'm saying. But that's just how it is. The writing is Sophomoric drivel. And no, I'm not talking about "the plot." I have no idea what the plot even is, but I can tell just by how the game handles the story so far that it's not going to be very exciting.

2. Gear hunting. Fifteen minutes in the game, and I suddenly remembered what I hated about Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Finding the weapons and all that gear-score stuff. It just isn't fun. It's time-wasteful crap. That's just all there is to it. There's a bunch of crafting/upgrading mechanics in this game, and it's just there to waste your time.

This is what turned me off to Witcher 3. I hate that too, because everything else about that game was done correctly so far as I can tell. I just don't have time for these superfluous tasks anymore, because they aren't fun. How many games do we have to play that does this before we realize it? Apparently, we gotta play 20 years worth of them. And so, that's me. Just give me a sword and let me engage the actual content. You know, like how the original AC games did it--like how Prince of Persia did it before. Wonderful games without the bullcrap.

This is something the Far Cry series does correctly. There are attachments and stuff, sure. But you aren't forced to constantly hunt down and maintain and upgrade and mess around with inventory nonsense. You just play the game. Ubisoft's treatment of Open World is good enough that you don't need this filler crap.

3. I don't like the controls. I guess AC has always been like this to an extent. The controls have always been somewhat "different." Maybe I'm just not that into the game enough to want to deal with the hassle, but I don't remember the earlier games being this auto-piloty. I can't sprint. I can't jump. All I do is press W or Z and when I want to get over something, I hold SHIFT. That's it.

Combat isn't that engaging. I spam LMB until the enemy flashes, then I press SPACE. What's the big deal? I don't feel there is any strategy to this at all. I don't feel there is any tension. It's not even that hard, unless I'm not high enough level. Speaking of which...

4. I don't really have anything against levels. In this game, the levels really only exist for three reasons: 1) To gear lock you, 2) to Perk lock you, 3) to Content lock you. I already don't care for the gear mechanics, and I don't have anything against the Perks really. Those usually add a lot of depth to the game. What I don't like is Content locking. Why? Because it forces game length that you wouldn't otherwise have to do. What do I mean?

At the beginning of the game, you gotta kill that dude who is hunting you: Talos. I fought the dude for at least an hour trying to kill him at level 3. I did absolutely nothing to him. He just basically wiped the floor with me. I gave up and decided I wasn't high enough level. No big deal.

I come back a little later at level 4, and while he was still quite difficult, I was able to take him down after only a few tries. Why is this a problem for me?

Because I was still using the same equipment and skills as I was when I was level 3. So that basically told me that there was a hidden stat I had no control over except to level up. And well... I don't much care for that. This isn't an MMO. You don't need those superfluous gates. Let me do what I want to do.

Anyway, I can tell AC:O is a decent game. I mean, some folks, what I wrote, maybe it doesn't bother them so much. But for me, that's why I don't like it. I just cannot play games that feature these superfluous aspects. I can overlook great story-telling, however. Yeah, I know. "STORY!" But a game is a game, first. If I am having fun with the game, then I can engage more with the story. And I can forgive a lot, because it's a game first. I can deal with less than stellar story-telling. I cannot deal with gameplay that isn't fun.

God of War 2018 is incredible.

The Witcher 3 has interesting quests but it lacks the interface and combat of other triple A games.
that's what i was getting at, no doubt witcher 3 is GOOD, but i think GoW is just better in every single way

God of War is console only, I don't see why you two are bringing that game up here? Its also not an rpg and so nothing like the Witcher games. I wouldn't say no to getting a remaster of the old games on PC though.

whats the point of this comment, sure witcher is on pc, but it's also on console, and god of war has very small rpg elements, and they're both story driven games so thats why you can make the comparison

oh lets add the fact the sony is possibly porting its titles over too, such as God of war, days gone, and possibly bloodborne, so it;s still a fair comparison of two story driven games

Its irrelevant to most Steam users as this is a PC gaming platform. Not everyone wants to invest in buying a Sony funbox to play two/three games. Also like I said, God of War are action games since inception, the Witcher is an rpg although Witcher 3 did streamline alot of its gameplay to try and appeal to a bigger audience.

most people own pc+mutiple platform i say its not irrelevant, maybe to you, but not everyone. and certainly a good chunk do own multiple platforms.

Something I will never understand. Once I could play at 60 fps/1440p I couldn't go back to console. Now I play mostly between 90-144 fps, can no longer go back to 60 fps. Outside of a handful of exclusives why bother with an inferior experience?

Ofc if by some miracle Sony do decide to port more of their games to PC and I can play them to that standard then I would buy them. Some of them anyway.

Real gamers do consider the console if the game is good enough. I'm always considering going back to the console for games but the lack of good RPGs on Xbox and Playstation of whatever generation stops me. Plus I don't know if the console will be backwards compatible.

End result is do I want to pay $500+ dollars before buying the first game and the games I want might go to PC with time. If I have money to burn I would have every console. I would even have a 3DO when it was new.

Oh people have diluted the RPG tag so much the new God of War game had enough story elements people can claim you can role play as a god killer, I guess.

God of War RPG elements is not necessary though

Exactly, investing money regardless of the amount into a console just to play a handful of games? And being forced to play said games at console level, hard pass for me.

My monitor costs more than a console, hell even my gaming chair costs more. Consoles have always been a good thing for people with limited financial resources or those who just plug and play, my brother is like that. Zero knowledge of computers and since PS2 a sony fanboy.

Not everyone wants or can invest thousands into a hobby, although as I have discussed with many people, its actually a very good investment qua cost/return.

Lifestyle and hobbies.

Everyone is different, some would rather buy a motorbike or go travelling.
Some would rather save and invest in a stocks and share fund and some would rather have nights out at the pub.

People that are at their computers for a few hours a day are often the people that will buy a gaming PC.
The vanilla game was fine. The first DLC was okay-ish, the second DLC had so much potential but they ruined it bad in the end and the conclusion was super cringeworthy/poor. Add in that the denuvo is still present in the exe file and you got yourself an overpriced AAA title with additional crapware DRM.

Aside that, as someone who invested hours on playing this game and collected every achievement, making it a flashy 100% for bragging rights, I can say, the game had some good and some bad moments, some interesting and some tiring situations. For the most part, I had fun and I really enjoyed it, but there were times that I was like "Damn, they could've made it better on this part" or something like that. I agree with the game being overrated but only to some degree. I am sure at least half of that praise about it is worth and fair.
Ah ♥♥♥♥. Another Assassin's Creed is going to be released soon. What the ♥♥♥♥ a Viking assassin? Vikings were supposed to be nomads, barbarians and tough guys not some cunning cowards hiding in bushes and shove a blade up to enemy's ass.

Ah ♥♥♥♥. Here we go again.

Sounds like you have some fundamental misunderstandings about both viking cultures and current AC gameplay you might want to deal with, friend.
What misunderstandings?

That Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla are long before the creation of the Assassins Order and are there showing the collection of the items and the development of the lore, not the Assassins Order being there and you playing as an assassin only from the get go (or more like a living meat grinder that can slash 20 enemies surrounding you in 2 minutes like what was the gameplay of AC before Origins).
