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.

Écrit par MEMPHIS:

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.

If you picked the "braindead" gameplay for you, well . . . it is your experience, if you was not having fun with it, you could have played it differently.

Just trying to be clear here because its seems you dont understand

From Cerebral activity to braindead activity

Real life activity --->computer games

Strategy, puzzle ---> Action games, Hack and slash

You really overrated the cerebral activity needed to move your finger arround

Now i understand that you like your games with a little bit more of this and little bit less of that but imagine for 2 second than you just dont care about the action part of this games.

I have seen a post, The guy say:" this games is bad character forgetable etc,etc..."

Another Guy Answer " try spear or switch built.."

It's sad and pure madness how changing my way to play can get me better dialogue, quest less generic or character with personnality. Or perhaps having a better built can get me back some old smart puzzle or historical extract.

When you say this games is less brain dead you just watch the part that matter for you because a lot of the real Cerebral activity have been left behind living just the masshing button part.

It is not "a big brain activity" but it is not "I will just move forward and 1shot everything".
That still something to be done and you can not deny it, as you have to look around scouting the area yourself, keep in mind the routes and positioning of everyone around you could see and count with someone or some soldiers you hve not seen yet, plan your route and adapt to whatever happen.

With Ikaros you dont need any of that because you can see through walls the position of everything and everyone, so no need to scout for anything (and no need to even search for anything, all objectives are showing on the hud and through walls).
With the skill that makes you invisible you dont even need to care at all.
So, it makes all the previous activity I mentioned before to be braindead as you dont need to do anything but get near and press 1 button and if you are at Easy difficulty with the righht gear you dont even need to fight even the strongest enemies in the area.

"

???
Makes no sense at all.
Braindead is when you dont even need to focus otr pay attention to anything or almost anything, what a hack&slash is.
You can use your brain to something that requires it, or not if it give you tools not to use (like doing math with a calculator or by yourself, in this case Easy difficulty, skill to make you invisible and Ikaros is a calculator you dont even need to type the numbers, just say the numbers and it will do the math for you).
I am not overrating cerebral activity, you are taking 1 term too literally (like, hurr durr all activities require brian activity, hurr durr) and placing every fruit into the same bowl as if grapes were bananas or melons.

You are just relating things to things that make no sense to try and make a point valid where it dont even make any sense at all and I dont even understand wtf is the point you are trying to make valid anymore (as it look like you are just trying to say I am wrong no matter what I write) . . .

They actually require a lot of brainpower. Way more than watching Paradise Hotel, Big Brother or any other useless show most people seem to be spending their time on.

I bought AC Odyssey a few days ago 15 hours in it's pretty good. I played witcher 3 on xbox one, good too but didn't catch my attention that much. PS4 final fantasy, good but honestly I thought i was doing good but when I saw other people play I sucked and barely had anything by the end of the game. Odyssey's not that bad though, depending on what you want in a game, get that.

Didn't you make a post just like this in the Witcher 3 forum saying that it was overrated and that you'd rather play any AC game?

You even put *Launching AC: Blackflag on the post over there https://steamcommunity.com/app/292030/discussions/0/2666627242545694338/

Make up your mind bruh.

One of the best AC games for my opinion, like Origins it has a beautiful big open world, i like that.

Thank you sir.

This guy should be banned. I highly doubt he even owns it outside of steam as well.
