They went full RPG

Unironically a better Bioware game than anything Bioware has made in ages

I havent played an AC game since Black flag, should I ay Odyssey or Origins first?

Every other AC game accidentally turns out to be great

It's a weird cycle

It's the best since Black Flag so yeah.

I haven't played Origins, but the gameplay apparently is very similar to Odyssey. So you might get sick of it if you play one after the other.

They copied Witcher 3 until the point where they fucked up and added a really fun combat system.

is this game worth that 24 dollar price tag on steam atm?

am i missing something here?
this is quite possibly the most boring videogame ive played in my life
>repetitive mission cycle
>literal one button combat against damage sponge enemies
>no weapon feels satisfying
>some hilarious 2000's tier voice acting
>literally the only good thing about it was the crafted world

only devs who make horse pussy instead of balls

It's not really a full rpg at all. It's mostly just a game about checking off lists and watching numbers go up without much meaning behind it all. It aint a bad game but it's still shallow, tedious, and extremely repetitive. It's just something to play when you want to turn your brain off and kill a bunch of people.

Go for origins first, you will enjoy the evolution that Odyssey brings

I kinda disagree.Origins was a good balance of old and new. Odyssey goes full retard with half-baked RPG shit and feature bloat. I feel like half my time is spent in the menus, grinding for XP and materials, or clearing the thousands of copy pasted forts.

Origins and Odyssey are the best AC has been since Black Flag. I'd almost lost all faith after Rogue, Syndicate and Unity.
I didn't think I'd like the RPG elements, but I did.

Is there anyone who didn't pick Cassandra?

I didn't. If I replay it, I might, though. Her VA is better.

Ubisoft said most players picked the dude.

It's a shame we couldn't bang Brasidas desu, all the romance options in this game are pretty lackluster.

in the same boat. debating on buying one or two of these shit games since the steam versions are usually more pricey.

also how heavy are the two games on using the boat. remember hating the addition in 3 onward

i thought Alexios's hammy voice acting was more charming

Brotherhood is better than Revelations. Revelations sucks. 3 also sucked.

3 is underrated. Not the best, but not the worst either.

Play it in Japanese. Nakata Jouji as King Leonidas

I think he was better as Deimos desu.

Shit list

You might be depressed.

I got up to arriving in Sparta for the first time, but then dropped it because I moved onto playing other things. Is it worth finishing, or have I pretty much seen it all?

>>literal one button combat against damage sponge enemies
user you have two buttons for striking, pressing two for parrying as well as ranged. Along with this you have abilities with activate for ranged and melee that you can pick as you level up.

so i havent played this but from what i have seen the map is the entire peleponnese scaled down. is that correct not sure i could play that

80 hours in and I still have the cultists and gorgon ahead of me. Is the DLC decent?

I kinda gave up on AC (and Ubisoft for that matter) after AC 3. Are the latest two any good, or is Yea Forums yanking my chain?

ironically unironically one of the greatest games ever made, and I say this as someone who once said he'd never play an assassins creed game

they're two of the most boring games I've ever played

Origins and Odyssey are apparently the best AC games in a long long time. idk though, im debating on which one to try

Origins is good
Odyssey is alright but very grindy

I meant for Odyssey that is, I haven't played Origins

Attached: Assassin's Creed® Odyssey__1.jpg (1920x1080, 543K)

1. Assassin's Creed Black Flag
2. Assassin's Creed Origins
3. Assassin's Creed II

those are the only good games.

yes

Wish they'd drop the future bullshit or actually do something with it.

By the way if it makes a difference for your intent to try it, the abstergo present day matrix illuminati conspiracy ancient aliens bullshit gay plot has a combined screentime of about 15 minutes in ACO, across three different scenes. And it took me about 120-130 hours to complete the entire base game on one playthrough, excluding the paid DLC. It's a hell of a lot better than getting pulled out of the Caribbean every hour or two for 15-30 minutes of boring gay modern day Canada conspiracy shit in Black Fag

It's more Soulsy than Sekiro

you're not wrong. You're just not impressed by zoomer b8 garbage. The entire game is filler from beginning to end.

>grinding for XP and materials, or clearing the thousands of copy pasted forts.
jesus christ sounds like the worst game ever made

why do people think this shit is fun? It ruined God of War

unironically they're just as bad as ever.

Ubishit has never been good

Do I pirate Origins or Odyssey first bros????

You don't have to do either, you naturally level up to 50 as a result of completing the quests, and there are a LOT of quests, and the forts are largely optional unless you're being a 100% completionist autismal

how on earth did it take you that long?

play Origins first, then Odyssey to realize how shit it is in comparison.

There are not many interesting options if you want to play a straight Kassandra or a gay Alexios.

>Odyssey worse than Origins
I mean I really enjoyed both but I felt Odyssey was a more fleshed out game overall. Then again AC1 was my first and last before these so take my opinion worth a grain of salt.

I did all the sidequests instead of rushing straight through the main storyline like a basic bitch, I hope you realize there's more to New Vegas than NCR/House/Legion

im trying to play the game in order.I'm on Syndicate. Is it boring AF for anyone else? I cant play it more than 10 mins

you mean like an rpg

cool but i did the same thing and completed every location on the map and it only took 78 hours

yeah that's not in order

all I wanted from ACO was
NPC questgiver:
>Ah, Eagle Bearing Misthios! I have a job for you! Would you escort my 19 year old twink son to his wedding to his 12 year old bride? I will pay you handsomely for your work misthios!
Kassandra:
>Sorry Malaka, I'll have to take your firstborn as payment. He will learn to breed superior musclemilf pussy, I'm his mommy now.
NPC:
>Misthios no! How will he grow up to be a good boyfucking Greek now if you teach him to appreciate well-developed older women instead of underage girls with the bodies of boys! Our family is eternally disgraced!
Quest Failed

i didnt like the voice/animation for either but found alexios slightly better.
and the armor looks better than shoving her into male armors changed into a tube top or just straight male outfits

Origins felt like a beta for Odyssey desu.

Syndicate and Unity were both garbage.

how did she manage to avoid britbong genetics?

It doesn't really feel like an AC game and it's not a bad thing at all. I was taken aback when they suddenly thrust us back into an Animus sequence.

This. Unity being shittier

>avoid
buddy if that ain't Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, I don't know what is

i'd like her if she had big tits

her game might be poo but Evie is cute!

A bland Ubisoft RPG yea

no

You're not missing anything. Just remember that the little who actually still care about this franchise have shit taste Ava aren't worth listening to

>You don't have to do either, you naturally level up to 50 as a result of completing the quests
This is simply untrue. Multiple times when I arrived to a new region I would complete EVERY single location within it, every side quest, and do some bounties, and I would STILL not have enough EXP for the next main quest.

Someone had the bright idea to make a realistic RPG set in the classical era, turns out people actually really like it

Origins was more focused. Odyssey is feature bloat where they try to do too much,spread themselves thin, and it's all mediocre as a result

What a brazen lie

Odyssey is origins 1.1 but without any likeable characters

I couldn't get into it, but I'm glad you're having fun user.

what does Odyssey do that Origins don't? I'm playing Origins and going for Odyssey next.

It's not a lie, it happened when I was in Megaris, then Phokis, Then Attika. After that the game opens up a bit so I could get more EXP but I was starved for it even when completing those 3 entire regions.

Did you play some early unpatched version?

Naval combat
Boat upgrades
More mercenaries (phylakes)
Dialogue options (and "romance" that is just fade to Black with a flirty line)
Armor loot (helmet, Arms, chest, waist and feet)
Cultist system (find clues and uncover 40~ cultists for loot)

That's pretty much it. It sounds good on paper but all of it is pretty tedious ingame. They should have developed it for an extra year desu

So what's the best weapon class? I've been sticking with a regular sword so far.

setting this during the Pelopponessian Wars is such a wasted opportunity.

Let me kill Persians!!!!!!!!!

Unironically the regular sword

Massive sprawling ancient Greece adventure with some degrees of Player agency for dialogue and choices.

fucking hell, i'm serching like mad for opinions, reviews and videos about this game and i still don't know if i should buy. I've heard that it is a fucking CPU hog, how true is that?

>playing an assassin creed game after revelations
YIKERS

>nooooo stop playing things i don't like
Ouch

AUTO LEVEL SCALING ENEMIES BRO... this feature pretty much ruins the game. Makes all your upgraded equipment feel useless against enemies. You can go off exploring and hit max level and you can feel all mighty powerful but then you go back to the starting island just to find out that even the scrub enemies are the Same level as you are. This is why origins is always better. No level scaling enemies. It gives you the feeling that you are a force to be reckoned with

You suck. I barely did any forts and just did quests and was always properly leveled.

bruh if you're so shit just turn off the level scaling, it's literally an option in the game menu, you can turn every enemy into a pussy faggot just as big as you are

Well I guess you just had a magic copy of the game, then. I was playing on Hard, idk if that effects EXP, but I doubt it.

Odyssey

thanks for nothing you fucking faggots

I don't get people who bitch that vidya is ded or AAA games are shit now. This game, Spiderman, Blops 4, RE2 remake, DMC5, and Sekiro have all been fun. But I also just play games for one playthrough, and go weeks without playing stuff, so maybe the secret to enjoying shit is not to obsess over shit and take breaks a lot.

It runs way better than GR Wildlands from what I’ve seen. Though I imagine it’s CPU heavy due to the open world. I play on ultra with a 2080 and an i7 6700 and I have no performance issues.

Do origins. It will lead you into Odyssey better.
