Once I noticed the camps repeating themselves I stopped bothering with them.

give me the template and let me end this once and for all

How can one man have such perfect taste.

This was a good game.

"content"

Odyssey is unironically the best Ass Creed ever made.

is that bait

GOD TIER: Assassins Creed 2 / AC BF
TOP TIER: Assassins Creed / AC Unity / AC BH
MID TIER: Assassins Creed Revelations / AC 3
LOW TIER: Assassins Creed Origins
SHIT TIER: Syndicate (DNF)
Haven't played Rogue yet and won't get Odyssey nor any future instalments until they return to actually being an Assassin gameplay, fucking French Canuck retards.

Ubisoft outright said grindy GAAS shit is their universal plan going forward. Remember they made Odyssey super grindy then charged $10 for an experience boost.

You're talking about Skull & Bones? That was delayed to 2020, wasn't it? I hope they add some land based activities so it isn't pure naval all the time. I want to be able to control a human character and not just a ship.

Yes, but only because it's not an AssCreed game. Even then it's still your run of the mill ARPG.

Rogue is god tier and Unity is trash you nigger

I can barely stand this game for a few minutes, there's so much shit on the screen it's just overwhelming

The fuck out of here, Black Flag's location sucked balls. Odyssey is like Black Flag but on steroids with a much more aesthetic location than fucking boring ass broken down shanty nigga villages.

I actually liked 3 a lot

Unless we get a pirate game about rape and pillage it's not a pirate game

AC 2 is unanimously the best in the series.

Idk how anyone thinks odyssey is grindy there’s so much shit in the world to “do”. I’m 80 hours in got four or five more countries left and I’m decked out. Everything is piss easy on hard anyways and I have the perfect epics for my build. Good thing I pirated it, best way to avoid GaaS bullshit. Anyone who pays for a singleplayer game (kids btw fucking same shit as cigs back in the day) is a fucking retard.

Last half decent AC game.

>RPG elements
>Best combat in the series
>ACTUAL mythological creatures
>The most beautiful crafted world in AC to date
>Multiple Arenas to brawl in
>Best combat animations and skills
>Sparta kick people off roofs
>Ship combat
>Consequences
>Mercenary system that can cause massive battles that go on for like 20 minutes
>Good story
>The most aesthetic armor and weapons to date
Honestly other AC games can't even compete.

Only correct answer here.

I played through Origins and did every single question mark and can't get myself to do most collect/ fetch stuff in RDR2 will I get that casual bliss back with Odyssey?

They can't compete because that game isn't an AC game. And the world was boring af.

This people only discredit Odyssey because they made the female the canon character.

>not liking pirate aesthetic
You are either a woman or a very boring man

>seething tranny

raise two and brotherhood and lower that snorefest that was three and we got a deal

Yes, and Ubisoft games are the king of endless, repetitive, meaningless content. About 1/16th of that game is actual content the rest is just that fraction copypasted infinitely.

I still have no idea why people loved Black Flag so much. It shouldn't have been an Assassin's Creed game, it should have been a new IP

It had the most aesthetic world and the most beautiful architecture since AC2. That's irrefutable. Athens straight SHITS over every city in any AC save AC2/Brotherhood etc.

>too much content
>empty map
>same quests x999
just another "le open world" gimmick

>kill your entire franchise by making it another generic open world ARPG with 400 hours of content and nonexistent story and bland generic protagonists

It's a good example of how pandering to women ruins your art, yes your game is now "feminist" but you'll never tell a story as good as the AC trilogy or AC4 ever again because you have handicapped your creativity.

Boat shit made everyone cream and honestly, if it was a different IP, I doubt it would have made much difference. Outside of AC, Ubisoft aren't especially great at stories and even Ass Creed is lacking plot progression.

That's what makes it the best Assassin's Creed game. The worst part of Assassin's Creed is the Assassin/Templar/modern day shit.

>I still have no idea why people loved Black Flag so much
-comfy open sea
-amazing ship battle mechanics
-good side characters even though they dont do much
-really good story
-amazing main character
Those are my reason at least
>it should have been a new IP
I agree, to know that i'l never have a continuation following Edward's adventures with his daughter is painful

>It shouldn't have been an Assassin's Creed game, it should have been a new IP

Precisely why people liked it so much. It feels the least like what is a very repetitive and samey series.

this game has confusing quest markers. i dont know what the fuck any of the symbols mean

I bought it entirely for ancient greek naval combat, solid purchase so far

>kill your entire franchise
Odyssey outperformed all AC games on current gen.

I thought the canon ac in this one was female?

AC is dead. Origins and Odyssey are fucking garbage that ruined the gameplay mechanics of the series completely and abandoned anything remotely interesting left about the story and lore.

Alexios > Ezio >>>>>>> Everyone else

Attached: mathieu-goulet-alexios-face-01.jpg (1700x2908, 1.32M)

That's a very low bar, the rest of the current gen AC games all bombed. Dumb fucking shill.

That was after AC3 with Desmonds death

Looks shit and tiny, what the fuck are you on about?

>protagonist is co-sex
zzzzzzzzzzz

Cope.

I love the greek setting, and the game has many things that could have been well executed if the scope was narrowed. The map size is 4x too big for its own good and elements like bounty hunters, territory arena fights, leader assassinations, romantic relationships, etc all come out half baked and seemingly only included so UBI could check it off the list of things that are popular in open world games.

Assassins Creed should quit attempting limp dicked tributes to Teh Witcher 3 and try and emulate MGSV's fun gameplay

I would bump Brotherhood up but besides that 10/10 list.

AC Odyssey I must admit was the FIRST game ever based in ancient times that made me sit back and say damn, i'd live in this shit. But then I realize it was ancient times and there was no technology. Game was so beautiful though all the individual islands. The color, everything was like so massive is scale, large statues, mountains, cities built on top of cliffs and mountains. Which had BEAUTIFUL architecture. Next AC game's gonna suck if the location can't compete with Greece. I heard rumors of Vikings next, KEK their architecture was trash back then. I hope that's not where they go next.

The game isn’t even that grindy bro, maybe you just suck at vidya

Alexios isn't even canon

Ok user, how many OC odysseys can they make before they stop selling?

Nobody even finished the last two because of their bloat, how many 200 hour games released on a yearly basis do you think will stay successful?

How many AssCreeds did people buy before they finally tried something new with origins?

He is though, just the evil version is canon, STILL a badass even as the evil version tho. And the good version is literally Ezio with better jokes.

If they did vikings, i'm sure they would set it in England. Not much unlike shitty Scandi farms but more dense at least.

Your odyssey samefagging is poisoning this thread

this game doesn't have too much content the content is just very repetitive and not that great to begin with

Dumbass

>repetitive
The only AC game where you can't approach every single fight the same. Unless you're gonna sit here and tell me fighting a cyclops is like fighting the human npcs. Fuck outta here.

Absolutely. The thing is, there usually is a cap on how much you can play a single player game before it gets stale, depending on the genre, gameplay mechanics and amount of unique content. On one side you have things like strategy games where you have hundreds of hours of replayability by trying out different scenarios and nations, on the one side you have plot-heavy linear games that take only under 10 hours.

The problem with AC is that its gameplay mechanics aren’t that special, yet the games are jam-packed with content that is ultimately very repetitive. Generally, the plot is interesting enough to keep one moving on, but there’s no satisfaction in doing dozens of repetitive side missions that play the same every time and don’t present a meaningful challenge. If Assassin’s Creed wanted to stay fun for 100% completion, it would absolutely require a deeper combat system that takes longer to master and more unique content.
