Microtransactions should not be In a single player game
they're literally just extra stuff that you can get for free. It's not a big deal.
It is.
they should not be in a full priced game period it was a mechanic for free to play mobile games to make money yet they now put them in full priced games to bleed young ppl dry and now they make more money from them then they do the sales of the game thats why they will never stop which is bad because they now get lazy making games and release the same shit because they know they will make there money back with you guessed it microtransactions its there safety net EA use it cause lets face it there not able to make a good single player game or multiplayer game for that matter lets why they said single player games are dead even those you have games like spiderman god of war gta 5 single player game not online last of us to red dead 1 and 2 and guess what NONE of them have microtransactions because all of them are games where they put effort into making a good game which means more ppl spent there money on it and where as all these other companies or the publishers have no faith in there game so they slap that safety net in cause they know they will make there money back with that so who cares if not many ppl buy it right
here's a thing. dont like it. dont buy it . says ea
They should not be in video games in general
I was never under levelled because I killed everything and everyone I saw, wasn't really "assassin's creed" as much as it was "one man genocide"
it still has the best stealth system out of any game in the franchise imo I like how u can do it either way
@@notrenbanney2450 nah it was shit, like you cant stealth kill guy with 2 levels lower than you if he has that gold marker. that was so annoying and frustrating.
hereyougo dummy invest into assassins abilities like critical assassinations you can one shot everybody
@@RainCloudVideos i did but it doesnt alwey work. The system is so fucking wonky. I swear I’ll hold onto the button, but’s it acts as if I did nothing, or, it’ll just to regular one, which, I don’t even understand the point of. There’s no reason why you would want to do it, other than it’ll be less likely to fuck you over. This just seems like an unnecessary annoyance. Has anyone come up with strategies on how to deal with this?
Sounds like an ac game
that "crappy" opening was some of the freshest Angry Review content! creativity on fleek Joe and AJ. I bet its hard keeping the fresh ideas coming on the regular, but know that your fans appreciate it. even the ones that bitch (i've been there before, i'm sorry to say). you guys are insanely talented.
I love that intro who could hate it damn
It only went on a bit too long
By far the funniest one is the opening to the detroit: become human review. I had to pause the video because there was so much pain in my sides.
Were they sponsored?
Loved it also
watching this in 2020 , and it's hilarious to see how much joe was right about microtransaction ! cough "ghost reçon" cough
And because of this rampant microtransaction I started to just look some retro games.
@@hilmansudirman9857 same, they were soo satisfying when you can search the entire map for an armour or weapon, whereas now, u gotta search the store page and have your credit card
@@rajeevkunapareddy1182 💯💯💯💯
he is correct on principle about Microtransactions, but his comments about the game being grindy or that you must use boosters to get to level 50 are flat out wrong. The guy who said "arena grinding" was smoking something. I never once had to do anything like that.
@@Katie-hb8iq depending on when you played it they may have patched it, this was 4 years ago
This review was fine, but I vastly prefer your typical structured and rehearsed format. This format might be fine for rapid-fire reviews, though!
We would also like more Angry Reviews, but I would certainly prefer this over no review at all. He can't have time to make angry reviews for everything.
prismaticcrow this
yes
Tai Y. That’s why wait and make it
joe's mike was too loud... fix your shit.
Joe is so right about the microtransactions. Those defending them are only cheering the worsening of a game
Eatmyass I was like that before because I really love the franchise. Haha. But now that I finished it, I feel meh. Not as engaging and exciting like the first ac games. Don’t get me wrong, I love the new things in Odyssey but I hope they get better at the story next time.
Hey dumbass u dont need to buy them you can get all that stuff for free just buy playing the game so if u dont like it dont buy it.
@@anthonypinkney1877 yea untill game mechanics are deliberately designed to encourage microtrans to get even the moderate amount of enjoyment a game offers.
@@joshuathomas5626 its not makeing you buy the stuff A. You can get that stuff fir free vua doing missions B. If you kill mercenary they give legendary stuff so no need to buy the stuff in the shop so if you think you need microtransations to be good at the game you must be pretty bad
G1r4ff35 4r34 c001 ok u have no idea what I'm talking about
I love how people are telling Joe that this won’t get any worse or impact the future games, when Joe said years and years ago that micro transactions were becoming a problem and needed to be stopped, and people said the same shit to him, and yet here we are lol
TheDeadFrozen those people are called idiots
Reasonable people should not have a problem with micro transactions if its tacked on as an after thought. When you start making game design decisions based off of how they will be implemented is when it starts causing serious problems. These people seem to think it's still an after thought...
Keith Salmon II I prefer to think of them as sheep
Everyone´s face got tired, so they accept all that crap.
Either we have microtransaction or the prices for games go up. Literally everything has had a price increase from gas to milk. Phones cost more, movies cost more, games stayed the same price yet they cost way more to make. So i think microtransactions are fine for the most part. The only thing assassin creed odyssey did wrong was time saver microtransactions because now that the game is longer people think ita making you grind more. Angry Joe is praising Ac4 yet it had the same time saver microtransaction but the game was smaller thus making it "less grindy". I can tell you right now its not that big a problem it really isnt. I have played idyssey for 50 hours now and not once have i feeled underleveled. Sure some quests are level gated as well as areas but I can keep advancing in the stroy and get back to those later. 1500xp for completing forts?!?!? thats a damn lie. I have gotten upwards of 15,000... I dont have the boister and i only had a feee one for 2 hours so i have seen both leveling with and wothout the booster and honestly i didnt see the difference cause i never had a level problem.
To sum it all up and clarify... I am fine with miceotransactikns in games cause they help devs with cost and us from having to face an inevitable price increase. Yes AC Odyssey does push it with boosters but it isnt new as that was in ac4 yet no one complained then. I would prefer odyssey didnt have it but in the end it doesnt really matter as the game wasnt built with this in mind. its a time savee to help you beat the game fast and be overleveled. Actually do some research instead of bitching. People thar have this or 5 -10 levels over the recommended level. if it was built with this in mind wouldnt they be at the recommneded level?...
literally youre the only person I come to before I buy a game.
You should also do acg and skill up, theyre both great reviewers and dont sell out or suger coat stuff
Worth a buy
Getting an opinion of a video game from one source is pretty flawed.
Me too
@@noahdejesus5601 yea let me go to IGN to see why they gave it a 10/10
Guys - you have to get on those mics. If I crank up the volume enough to hear the other two, Joe's voice will obliterate my eardrums.
This video is a year old.
Amen
Kawaii Stefan they still have these issues.
thats the thing why is the other 2 even there to begin with
Unknown Unknown because Joe didn’t finish the game. They did. They can add more to the review.
I would like this type of review for titles you don’t have the time to do a full production on.
JPLaws Agreed.
agreed just a movie style review
You guys should re-review Uncharted 4 that game is a masterpiece and maybe Nate's last Uncharted game.
Agreed as long as these type of reviews are not constant
I feel like as long as there is awsome parody intro then this type of review is fine
that was one of the best opening scenes ever
they done it again they did!!
Epic
10/10
that kick did it all, so great
Top 10 Anime Openings
Little known fact, 300 was based on Leonadias' Crippling addiction to totinos' pizza rolls
@ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ ΤΟΛΗΣ r/whooooooosh
@ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ ΤΟΛΗΣ I know English might not be your first language. It was a joke.
I like this style. This should be the new rapid reviews.
I second this , this should be the format for the rapid reviews.... as for the game , its a shame and i was burnt out by the second , I liked the first assasin creed more (but I know im the huuuuge exception). So this is a skip for me , even more so due to the M$
I agree, I like seeing different perspectives and counter arguments
Yeah. He totally copped out on Origins and I think the title really deserved a full fledged review (or one like this).
I agree this would be an awesome way to do the rapid fire reviews
you got my attention here....
wtf are you talking about joe???
that intro was GOLD. Your eyes really sold it.
havent laughed that hard in months.
The shittyness has a quality all on its own
Agreed. The Angry Joe Show has always had some pretty crappy effects, but the fact that the effects were even there was the most important part. I laughed a ton during this intro, and that’s because we still get the context of the gag and it’s just something that’s supposed to be silly anyways.
Intro is meh
I rewatched the video twice for the intro makes me laugh everytime XD
Joe should know that crappy skit is the reason why this channel rocks!!!!!
Shout out to the Brink Opening
Exactly, low production quality is what made TH-cam great for years! Remember stuff like Arby 'n the Chief and Red vs Blue (the pre-animated stuff)? That stuff was great and stuff like that crappy skit at the start of this video is lacking a lot these days from big TH-cam channels
filthy casulzz
The cult of kosmos is by far one of the greatest ideas ever. I really hope every new game generates the roles of people around you, a cultist can be a coward or a cultist can be a simple guard you wouldn’t suspect being a cultist. The clues were cool, and the twists and turns are amazing in base game, but Ubisoft accidentally made a new featured genre.
By far it was so cool just coming upon some random person in the world and then turning out to be a cultist especially when some missions had you being hired by said cultist members without you knowing
This type of review would be good for a podcast
I wouldn't mind if for the games he can't do full reviews to be like this, and Angry Joe podcast is a cool idea
Totally agree
Not gonna lie, I'm disappointed this isn't a regular Angry Joe game review. However, having said that, I really like this setup and I hope this replaces the Rapid Fire reviews.
we want the real angry reviews, joe just got lazy af.......
Talha Nusaer not true .. joe not lazy .. f urself
I agree. Just sit some friends around a table, and talk about a game for a while. I think it would be a great format for reviews that are not full Angry Reviews.
Talha Nusaer well angry reviews are fun when the game sucks, but a good/average game... a review is meh
@@paladindarc Doom review is one of my favorites.... And it's a kick ass game
Micro transactions are dumb. I should be able to find or obtain all of my gear and skins in the game
Ryno Lemons you can, the problem is that they’re boosters.
You can, but good look getting the materials. This is why the micro transactions are necessary.
The best mount in the game will cost you Helix credits. Why is it the best mount? You can jump off cliffs and it opens its wings, which makes it kind of glide down so it doesn't stagger or take damage like the other horses.
Maybe the unicorn does this too with its magic, but I haven't tried it.
u can get all the skins in the store in game.. its RNG though but its all there eventually. thats why people are lot forgiving on microtransactions for this game. as no one in right mind will buy those skins or boosters.
@@deleteexistence6175 u can get the whole set in game.. check youtube videos on where to get it. people are just dumb if they buy it in store.. unless they have lot of money to burn. people that dumb who cant figure it out deserve to lose their money lul
Angry Joe never fails to make me smile and laugh.
Personally, I don't really like this setup for the angry reviews, but I think this would definitely work for Rapid Fire videos or angry rants.
Angry Joe just said that he was going to scrap this review but he decide to do it in this style just so he can give his quick review of the game.
the opening segment was really good Joe, i laughed my ass off. Don't discount yourself so easy.
Use this instead of rapid reviews. Keep the original format.
Delrith does Rapid Reviews. They aren't replacing the AJSA format, it's just more content. If you don't like it then leave, it's as simple as that.
Rapid reviews suck.
You can't be ignorant to why they use Rapid Reviews right? You surely must be able to understand it. Angry reviews take time and a LOT of it.
This doesnt take as much effort as a normal angry review. Theres no skits, no cgi editing. Just edited talk show format. The effort to make this is somewhere between rapid reviews and normal reviews.
I think rapid reviews is good for lesser known games, it cover games joe would never have the time to review in its normal format
Joe is a blessing to the gaming community
he should do his movie reviews like this, it's better when they're able to face each other as their talking, rather than sitting there looking around awkwardly while one person speaks
arcticridge he have to edit this when changing to different people.
@@wilkinlow even I could do that.
AGREED
Good point! More engaging, more reviews sprinkled in like this would be good, one guy mentioned rapid reviews, I think you found a new avenue with this style!
The negative of that slo mo shit, brought out new positives!
Joe that opening is perfect and represents your content well, you shouldn't be ashamed of it
Hitly96 he most likely knows it’s not that bad but it would’ve been better and plus he’s a content creator, he works to either perfect or provide content better than the last
Dude it was hilarious!
Jokes aside his regular reviews are loads better and should remain the norm.
I lost it, i was laughing my ass off and it reminded me of the good old days of angry joe’s reviews 😂
Max Bellers I'm not talking about the review just the opening, I agree regular reviews are better but this is still better than nothing
I know this is an old review but you can wear the look of gear after destroying it.
One of the best things about this game tbh i wish more games would let you do that
@@generalgrievous9947 Agreed.
This is the AngryJoe that I started watching for, he isn't afraid of shitting on a game and that's what makes his recommendations more meaningful, When you have all these reviewers these days always trying to speak about the silver lining in a game even though it's really bad, E.X: Sea of Thieves, FFXV and others. I'm not trying to say all critics should hate on games or all critics should have the same opinion, But answer me this, when was the last time you saw a known critic completely destroy a AAA game ?
lieutenant Joker I’ve seen plenty of known critics bash on triple A. What you are probably referring to is seeing review companies like IGN which usually don’t bash triple A games.
IGN, Gamespot, and friends are the people who lead this group, But even reviewers like Before you buy and ACG, They just don't bash games anymore, How come one person loves all these games? Before you buy even said Sea of Thieves is good! COME ON ! the game literally has 3 things to do! Of course, after everybody bashed on it, The next week the guy comes out and says Sea of Thieves was short on content, Yeah why didn't you say that in the review?
lieutenant Joker oh okay yeah the people I follow are Angry Joe (obviously), SomecallmeJohnny, Caddicarus, and Yahtzee Croshaw (Zero Punctuation) if they think a game is bad they will tell you with no problem.
Don't forget Jim Fucking Sterling, son.
Well said
If your running low on time i dont mind reviews like these.
i can agree but this is not a "angry" Review its like the crap movie reviews he dose
I actually don't mind this format, and like hearing Del's and Alexs's opinion also.
Yeah, I understand why he did it, but I don't want all the reviews to be like this.
The format is fine, a structure podcast style. Timing has been an issue with Angry reviews especially in peek season... I still like hearing your opinions and having Delrith and Alex showing their knowledge onscreen was great. Would be good if you titled this as a "roundtable" and maybe also discuss major topics and gaming issues in the industry.
A review is a Review to me.
"Games are so expensive to make"
The video game industry makes more money than the film industry.
Temiblor It also has more games coming out than films. So even if there is more money it is spread over significantly more releases meaning less for each release. This invalidates your argument.
I'd love to discuss but I don't know you, I wont get paid for it, and I dont owe you a debate.
This is all the time you'll steal from me.
Temiblor Nor I you. I wouldn’t love to discuss it though. I already explained why your point is invalid. The discussion ended.
"Games are so expensive to make" then cut down the fucking cost. Some of the best games I have played were low budged.
Fankas2000
You can’t “cut down the cost” if you want to push the boundaries of the medium. Triple A studios do pump out a lot of garbage, but at least it advances us in a technological sense.
The game feels like an mmorpg, in terms of the scope of content, leveling and quest. Theres a lot to explore and see but its skin deep.
Yea, I was really enjoying the game until the cracks started to show. Started getting bored
It’s important to mention it’s just a different game with the title assassins creed slapped onto the front any true fan of the franchise knows the franchise has been dead since origins
@@darrellbrown633 Nah, Origins was still about assassins and its damn better than 3, Rogue, Unity, Syndicate and Odyssey combined. It had at least a compelling protagonist since Edward and Ezio, compelling open world, soundtrack, atmosphere, needed weapon variety, needed crouch button, etc.
And this is coming from someone who puts the Ezio trilogy the best.
And before you claim that your precious AC Unity is a true AC game, it's not.
@@memecliparchives2254 agree orgins was cannon i don't know in which assassins creed game was it but it ezio i think found the body of amunet (aya) orgins is about how the assassins creed began ubisoft had no reason to go to odyssey and Valhalla they don't matter in the assassins creed plot really if they made odyssey and Valhalla into different game that is about a spartan going around Greece or a viking try to get their revenge it would have been cool and we could even have gotten a better story from them as well if odyssey or Valhalla (but mostly odyssey since it's plot doesn't even aline with the ac lore while Valhalla had some assassins creed relation) wasn't associated with the assassins creed universe
I feel the the same way about the game . It just lack some of the core mmo systems. And some life skills .
old style much better for 'core' reviews. This format would be ok for rapid fire tho
Absolutely agree. This format is lazy as fuck and should be restricted to piece of shit rapidfire reviews.
yeah :( im really sad that the COD review was on the same style...
@@ppsarrakis If you watched his videos until the end, he specifically says that this type of review is most likely just going to be for October, or Broketober as he put it. You people in the comment section complain about stuff that has already been addressed IN the video that you are WATCHING. Like, come on. That is almost as bad as asking what a song name is and it being in the description.
100% agree.
@@1000-j2r For pointing out the obvious?? Lmao okay.
Yeah it's pretty funny that the people saying they don't notice being underleveled are the same people that do every single quest and explore every area. It's like, yeah, no shit. You are doing the grind and that mindless busy work appeals to you. Nothing wrong with that, but don't be an idiot and pretend like it isn't there. Take warframe for example, it's a grindy game, but I personally never felt that because I ENJOY the parts that are grindy in that game, hence when playing it does not give that effect to me. Doesn't mean it isn't grindy, it's just the I personally do not mind it in that game. Same thing here, people are confusing their enjoyment of the parts of the game that are a grind, with there being no grind. And that's just untrue.
Well said mate, I definitely see a lot of what you describe across gaming in general.
But, like... it sounds like they weren't even bothering to pick up contracts, which are the *easiest* quests to complete because they usually don't even have a specific destination or time limit attached to them, they're just like... "sink 5 Spartan ships" or "kill 10 bandits in this zone", and reward a massive amount of XP for something you can complete *while* doing other quests (meaning you don't have to go out of your way or really spend too much extra time to get them done).
I hit level 50 with less than half the map explored without any boosts. Yes, I took my time and explored map markers but beyond that I didn't really do minor sidequests, only the major ones (which are marked with a gold icon, as opposed to silver, like the main quest missions - and are few and far between) and contracts, for the most part. If it was that easy for me, and I *didn't even bother with boosts*, then you'd think that someone who (IMHO) wasted money on a boost would have no trouble with it.
On top of that, I think if they're complaining about not being able to rush down the main story, they shouldn't have bothered with this game to begin with. Ubisoft took cues from Witcher 3's open world and level-locked main quests encouraging you to engage in side content to level up. They made this pretty clear before the game launched. And while I think that Odyssey would greatly have benefited from lower level-gates on main story content (and certainly isn't anywhere near Witcher 3's level of quality), I also think that barely participating in the side content and then complaining about needing to "grind out levels" for the main story is a bit daft.
I'm not even trying to fanboy here, there's plenty of complaints people have about the game that I find understandable, but the leveling issue *isn't a valid complaint* because you can easily hit the level requirements just by doing some of the major sidequests and hitting the bounty board to check if there's any easy contracts.
The grind is nowhere near worse than any other rpg out there. Maybe you should just admit rpgs are not for you instead of blaming the MTs.
Everything's a grind if you don't like it. I did the side quest because I wanted more combat, because to me, it was fun and appealing since I never got to play Origins. Exploring's the whole point of an open world rpg game too and since I love the world of ancient Greece, I thought it was perfect for me. If you want to rush through the story mode, there's a difficulty for that so you don't have to "Grind" to progress further.
People associate "grind" with two things: fetch quests (collect this and that, return to the quest giver) and repetition (oh you got the herbs? go back and do it again!). While the side quests in Odyssey are nowhere near the level of writing and/or quirkiness of, say, The Witcher 3, they're also not grindy in the sense of offering nothing more than a mundane task. The incentives could be better, especially if you've outleveled some of the quests. However, you're right on the money about grind being a part of the game. Any game that has side quests will have it to some degree, it's all down to how much effort you spend trying to dress it up. In the case of Odyssey, because player choices actually affect some outcomes for the game world, I find that they're worth doing.
That intro is exactly the type of goofiness I appreciate from your show, Joe. You don't need some slow-mo camera to be entertaining. I'm more disappointed with this podcast format. It's good, but it feels less focused. It feels like this should be one of those post-review conversation episodes you used to do.
I agree with this and he really doesn't do his video game reviews that often anymore
I miss the old Joe.
Well there are 4 big games that are put this month, and he said he definitely wants to take his time with red dead and i'm sure that's going to be a classic angry review
Very true, hopefully it's a one time thing
Yh he needs to give these podcast-type reviews a different name. These arent “angry reviews” at all.
One thing I'd say in its favour is that, as a classicist, I'm very impressed by some aspects of their reconstruction of the Greek world. There are some things they could have done better without too much effort (e.g. the inscriptions in temples), but the architecture and geography are keeping me playing on their own. Obviously things are simplified, but some of the better-known areas (central Athens, Delphi) are done very well.
Please for the next one, level the audio of the mics...
I was just going to post that. Del's mic is CRAP low. Joe's is fine.
They need to do some audio compression to make sure the levels are the same.
His audio levels are always all over the fucking place it's annoying especially when I watch his videos late when everyone is asleep.
@@styxxrivers7576 joe purposely makes their audio lower so that it is easier for him to interrupt them and talk over them like he always does in his other videos especially the movie reviews.
that's obviously how AJ shows dominance, seriously :-D I've thought that in so many of his videos, and it's never happening (apart from AJ and other Joe). It's not only compression, but this definitely would help.

@John Hunt AHAHAHA
I WILL KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM
You’ll never be a ded meme to me my brudah
black flag was amazing because it had a great story, great gameplay, map, and it was very original.
Not because it had pirates
@Dark Night Uhm, cos stealth is not a key aspect of AC odyssey?
AC Rogue also good man. Its so original, u play as templar perspective, and it has naval battle too
I loved Black Flag, was probably my favorite one save from the first for obvious reasons. Nothing can ever bring back the nostalgia of the first imo.
I disagree. Black flag had really bad characters and a medeocre story... It was unique and the presence of pirates made the game better despite, not because of, the story.
@@alcappacino You can't separate stealth from Assassin's Creed. If what you said is correct, then Odyssey isn't a true AC game.
just went to level 65 for the third time,love this game,fun and easy just moves along.a real joy to play
I want Assassins Creed the samurai fighting ninjas in japan
Ben The Window Cleaner ghost of tsushima (I butchered that) looks pretty close to what you want
Play ghost of tsushima
Billy the kid i am not a console gamer i play PC games on high end PCs only
Jd 12 i am not a console gamer i only play PC games on high end PCs
I've been asking for this since after AC revelations, AC 3, AC black Flag , AC Syndicate and still we havent gotten that....but according to ubisoft its never going to happen because they feel that NINJA/SAMURAI is played out...which is fucking bullshit because since Sekiro came out and ghost of tsushima everyone wants to pull that bullshit excuse its played out when alot of AC Fans have been asking for this for a long fucking time....sadly i dont think we will ever get it
They should move away from the AC franchise in general. The story is just kinda directionless really with the Abstergo stuff. They have the groundwork in place to move to historical RPGs. You can roll with Japan, China, the Vikings, the Mongol Empire etc etc just cut loose the AC part of it.
Potato Crisp I completely agree. They should’ve just called it Odyssey.
They are just milking the AC franchise for all its worth now, which is not much now. AC in all honesty just needs to die because it is already more then half dead and they need to move on and make some new games like it but without the AC story because that is really dead now.
Dark nal no the assassins creed franchise is not dead wtf lol. You're just new or something all long time fans like the lore of the creed, isu, Apple of eden, and human hybrids
@@nickh7724 No I'm actually not new to AC lol and yes while the franchise is not dead for any die hard fan or lover of the lore the ingame stories have become lame it say the least. I mean we have had soooo many AC games: AC 1, AC 2, AC 3, AC Black Flag, AC Unity, AC Brotherhood and that is only a few! And while some of them have had great stories: Altair, Ezio and Edward being my favorite assassin's most of the other AC stories are well sh!t and that is what is what I mean when I say that AC is dead, I mean that the stories are dead. The game play it's self, saying that that is dead couldn't be farther from the truth! So the games should continue but drop the AC stuff and give us something fresh. However this of course is just my personal opinion which you free to completely disagree with if you want to. Although I am not the only one to think this as I have met many huge fans of the franchise who agree with me but hey we are all entitled to our own opinions.
I gave up after Black Flag. While Black Flag wasn't a bad game, it wasn't a good ASSASSIN'S game. They just sort of dropped the ball and now it just feels like they are milking the name.
Never get tired of they’re openings 😂😂
Their

they are openings? Yeezus dude
somebody smack this guy with a dictionary
Something that was DEFINITELY added after this review is that you can apply the appearance of ANY loot to ANY equipped items. It's worth mentionning because if you like the look of that lvl6 hunter armor, you can apply it to your current lvl50 armor and benefit from the same stats, it'll just be cosmetics. Same for swords, bows etc. It is such a goooood feature, thank you for that Ubi.

Maurice van Creij every rpg game requires you to level up. If you are rushing thru story content you are not doing it right
QQ and stfu
Peter Elak good rpgs dont force you through tons of copy paste sidecontent. They give you a good story and compelling stuff to do OPTIONALLY. But the use of qq in your argument reveals either your age or your intelligence so we cant convince you anyway.
Also, if im RolePlaying, im playing a role that i want to play. How the hell is there a way for me to “not be playing it right”. Come on, stop fanboying out. Game wouldve been way more fun if they doubled xp gains rather than gimping it to sell us progression.
@@GeneralNukes that's funny coming from the guy with Andromeda pfp, which is a game that doesn't require you to grind to experience the story.
I have 2,000,000 Drachma..

So someone crunch the numbers, because to me that means I have 2000$ worth of in-game currency

Way to go guys thanks for all the hard work
Besides doing all the rapid fire reviews. He's the one who gets most of the footage because he is the one who almost 100% all the games and grinds the most. What kind of question is that?
the actual Assassin’s Creed series ended at ac Rogue or Unity. Everything after should be it’s own series or not canon.
Micro transactions, special editions and season passes need to end. One price for a complete game. Dlc should be just that, a full download. Not a code that unlocks a segment on the disk you already bought. I love AC, I love the RPG direction. The stories need a little more polish like the days of old. I wouldn’t mind sticking with one Assassin for a while and seeing some kind of story arc across 2/3 games and we need to see the return of the assassin order and the templars. We need a tie off of loose plot threads from previous games. These stories are good, I’m just surprised that they didn’t base these “ancient stories” off the statues of assassins you see in ezios villa in AC2
Daniel Thomas no let there be MT's but only make them cosmetics so it wont affect the gameplay
Daniel Thomas bitch stfu. Go rant about it towards the origins of that which are mobile games, then mtx will go away.
I completely disagree with you. Ubisoft has to move on. They should focus on making new games instead of milking old series. Origins and Odyssey are the perfect examples, the games are great, but its such a wasted potential putting them in a dead series. If origins and Odyssey would start a new IP without the ISU and modern day animus bullshit forced into them, which ruins the game itself, the games would be amazing and i would be looking forward to the next one, but not like this. Odyssey was a great game until the sub-plot of Isu, animus and Layla kicked in, which is why i tried to avoid the Atlantis story line completely. AC died with Desmond, best thing you can do is call everything else not canon and convert Odyssey and Origins into a new IP of open world Mercenary game.
On-disc DLC doesn't happen anymore. DLC these days is made mostly post-launch.
as long as they keep it reasonable i have no problems with microtransactions but lets be real - you would have to double the normal game price to make these giant games nowadays and a lot of people might not be willing or able to pay that - microtransactions allows people with more money to support the game and still allows less deep pocket players to enjoy the game as well - don't forget about that....of course you can say let's just make smaller games in the future - but would we really want that?
Do I understand this properly?
If I play Zelda: BotW, I can realistically beat the game with no note worthy grinding. If I play God of War (2018), I can do the main quests only and realistically beat the game. If I play Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, I am required to do a certain amount of sidequest and should probably do more then just a few, if I want to keep the game from getting excessively challenging; or pay extra to let me do what other games allow by default.
Two of these games give you a choice, one of these games sell you a choice.
@the fighting liberal Explain.

Stop defending business practices that screw consumers please.
"player choice" microtransactions is some bullshit business newspeak.
Glenn グレン have you played the game? Quit blindly following whiney peoples opinions. There’s no more grinding than there was in the Witcher 3.
RynKen you can’t beat breath of the wild with grinding unless you’re a god lol. There’s tons of grinding in breathe of the wild to be able to compete comfortably just like ac odyssey. You’re full of complete shit. Have you even played the game?
@@bobdylan1968 I've never felt like BOTW was grindy. Pacing was good, and most enemy encounters didn't feel forced at all. There was always ways around it. It's skill based mainly.
Joe...I honestly like both review styles. As long as you guys play the games and do honest reviews then idc what format it’s in! Classic Joe or Joe with friends I’m game! Just give us honest opinions! That’s why we love you and trust you more than IGN or Gamespot just be honest and I’m game! Thumbs up from me! 👍🏻
I feel like this format is great, however should only be used when times like Broke-tober roll around. Multiple friends giving their opinions on their gameplay relieves much of the load that a normal angry review gives. However angry reviews should still be the main type of review that he makes.
I want to see a south America AC game, with the Mayan civ, Inca, Aztec, etc, that would be amazing
It already exists. Go play Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
That can't be. It's already clear the hidden ones were created in ptlomeic egypt which was the ancient form of the assassins, the start of the creed. Now these people keep going back which makes no sense because this is about the assassins creed vs templars and they are getting out of hand instead of just making a new IP of an ancient rpg which would give the player more room to play in instead of playing a fake story that did not happen in cannon because the fact that you can make decisions and choose a gender it's dumb because the story is already written... so you are not exploring what actually happened instead you are making a inaccurate version of it.
Mayan and Aztec are not South American

Played Odyssey twice over. Never used microtransactions. Who used them? Wimps?
same
I am a pretty average or below gamer , and I easily breezed through it without even CONSIDERING paying.
But I had fun with it, I didn't try to finish the main quest straight away. When I went to an area, I did 2 or 3 quick side missions around.
Joe just tried to rush this.
This is not 1996, you don't finish a game in two days.
I believe after RDR2 people understand that, but maybe when the review was made they didn't.
The game is literally called Odyssey, Odysseus was a guy who went through a long trip with lots of side quests.
Hello?
I just started it and I'm having fun. Of course I'm the type of player that always tries to do optional/side mission before going into the main missions if I can. Not to mention while you can play this like an action game, it really behooves you to try to be stealthy (at least until shit hits the fan.)
You must have an insane amount of time to yourself to be able to finish the fucking game without grinding your life away and wanting to kill yourself afterwards. Kudos.
Great review, Joe. I still prefer the good old format but good review nonetheless.
Totally agree withm the quests feeling like chores
then maybe RPGs aren't for you?
There are lots of RPGs with interesting quests, the majority of AC Odssey's is "go here, kill dude, go here get thing and come back". I really liked the Cult aspect but that might be because the Assassin part of Assassins Creed has always been the reason I play the games.
Most of Odssey's quests are just... boring
@@Patterrz how does that feel like a chore the fucking game is based around go here kill a dude lol
Seriously boring game
@@lewishoult635 i doubt your at level 50
Guys, you don't have to pay to skip the game. I can skip the game for free by not buying it in the first place, i made so much $ with this method!
Stop making sense please.

Publishers hate him!
Lol people saying you need to buy anything in ac odyssey clearly didnt play the game i have the platinum already and i was 50 equipped with over 80 legendary items 50% into the game so...fuck off and those optional quest you also dont need to do any of them appart for a trophy that needs 20 thats all
I just bought this game a couple of weeks ago on heavy sale with the season pass. So far, these transactions dont seem like an issue, and the game isnt a grind. It seems like they ironed out that issue. Along with difficulty, there is level scaling, which affects XP gain. I have been enjoying it a lot
I hit max level the other day without even touching the microtransactions then again I play a ton of RPGs so my first thought was to power level so eh 🤷♂️
Wait there’s micro transactions??
Britannia what happens at pirate island?
I still play the game.. i clear out every outpost and quest marker and am still under leveled after putting 80 hours into the world besides main missions
A casual player might use them, or a child. That's the problem. Just having them in the game is sickening just make the game more expensive
"THIS...IS......MICROTRANSACTIONS" !!!!! ~Spartan Kick~
U people are idiots the microtransations dont give you anything you cant get for free also if you dont like it then dont buy anything
G1r4ff35 4r34 c001 It’s assets in the game they took out and put behind a paywall, they also make the game more of a grind to entice you to get XP boosts. Young kids like you who have never known a games industry that didn’t abuse micro transactions are the reason these continue to make it into single player games.
There used to be a time when you bought a game, and you got the full game. They didn’t take weapons and armor out of the main game just to put them in a shop to get extra money out of you.
@@thizlam4810 Ty. Finally someone who understand. Its not only about "if you dont like it dont buy it". Its about the dev INTENTIONALLY design a game to be a chore so you "want" to buy something to get better experience.
That kid is literally going every comment and say "dont like it dont buy it".
@@tranminhanh8227 first of all, it's not a fucking chore. I literally beat the fucking Minotaur while he was 8 levels above me. The leveling in this game was not even a problem. Secondly you LITERALLY only have to do that once because of new game plus, as soon as you go into new game plus, the leveling isn't as difficult. Shut the fuck up about micro transactions and leveling because you don't know how to play the fucking game.
@@tranminhanh8227 Also if you complain about these "mictrotransactions" so much, why don't you fucking make the game then huh? Let's see how easy it must be for you to 1). Make the models for weapons/armour 2). UV Map the models 3). Fully texture the models and then finally 4). Fully implement the models into the game. How about you try dealing with the expenses of $1000 a year on Autodesk Maya alone?
Nooo don’t support micro transactions for cosmetics in single player games, cause u know they’d lock all the good shit behind those paywalls if they know they can.
The Contrarian I’m actually okay with paying for cosmetics. It’s when they lock parts of the game behind pay walls by making you buy a season pass. I just got black ops 4 yesterday and it cost me $100 for the game, all 12 dlc multiplayer maps, 4 zombie maps and 2400 cod points for supply drops. That is just ridiculous honestly. If black ops 4 wasn’t the best cod since black ops 2 I would’ve never spent that much but man treyarch managed to being cod back to its former glory
I can deal with cosmetics. I’ll make my character look good my way. And if that involves paying 5-10$ then I’m ok with that as long as the game earns it. A good example is GTA 5 before it almost became necessary to use the micro transactions because everything got so expensive.
I want next AC game with Vikings and Nordic mythology.
Hope that as well. Vikings were badass, you get the Norse pantheon and they had the whole naval thing going for them.
ChaosPrototypeIX god of war might help this demand maybe. I haven’t played the game yet so I can’t say
Screw that! I want Ninja's in the main line of games
Vikings would be cool though
A lot of people are doing Vikings these days. AC has the opportunity to explore parts of the past that don't appear a lot. I personally would want an AC game in the Iron Age Insular Celts (so Roman Era Britain and stuff like that) or Medieval Scotland.
I played the game organically which is the way it was meant to be played. I used the mode that makes you have to investigate where to go next instead of just having a marker. If I came across content or missions that were interesting or noticed something on the map that caught my attention I would go to it. My level always felt in sync with the game. I didn't buy boosters or anything from the shop at all. So far the game does not feel like a grind.
i like this style review a lot, but still prefer the OG angry review. keep the good work up joe
The Dark Sun Gwyndolin yeah, i watched the beginning of the video too. i admire your attention to detail lmao
Anything is better than hearing Del on Rapid Fire.

They usually can't and don't do it at the expense of their product though.

That's not even true. Everyone is rooting to get an Assassin's Creed set in Japan. Ninja vs Samurai war.
Don't worry, we'll get it after 5 years.
people who was rooting for that probably already tired by Assassin's Creed though
Ubisoft will try releasing that the same month as Ghost of Tsushima because they are little shits.
we allready got Tenchu way before Assassin's Creed
Not a bad idea. Maybe then you'll learn there's no such thing as Ninja vs. Samurai. Samurai were a class. And some Samurai actually were ninja (also known as shinobi).
I prefer your other format, BUT, I don’t mind this format either. So still enjoyed it, keep it up man!
Same
Something that eases the grind quite a lot: Go into your settings and make sure level scaling is set to "heavy", so enemies and quests always scale up to your level if you pass them.
If you pass the enemies in level wouldn't they be easier to kill?
Seb Yes but they won’t give you your level of gear
@@aegerman6317 Oh ok thanks for the reply. Im going to play this game around mid-May or Juneish when I finish my school, job, and grad applications.
Veris same
I’m confused.
Does Heavy Scaling mean enemies and loot will always be at your level no matter what?
I don't get the Black Flag worship every AC fan does. I just finished 100% Black Flag, last week. It's a good game but it's not the best by any means. It's not better than Brotherhood, imo it's not better than AC3. AC3 combat is visceral and fun af and you're an assassin pretty much from the moment you control Conner. The only reason I see that people seem to like Black Flag so much isn't even because of the Assassin stuff. The pirate stuff was an after thought. I di it because the story made me only, other than legendary ships. I actually enjoyed the naval part of Rogue more because they dropped the pretense of being a pirate. You can't even really be a pirate in Black Flag. Edward is way to the things you should be able to do as a pirate. It's like Eivor being a Viking. That's the most tame Viking I've ever seen. Edward is way to honorable for me to believe he's a pirate really. Idk I like Black Flag but it's not the best for me by any stretch.
They all suck
I can personally say that I just watch your reviews for your opinion. I probably am a minority here but I usually don't really care about the funny clips in between. For the entertainment factor that seems to be pretty important though it might make sense to stick to the format. Just know that I will watch your reviews as long as your opinion is your own and you express it this way :P
Same
I'm on board with you bro. I don't really like the clips and parodies he does, but the reviews he does are some of the most thourough on TH-cam, and I trust his opinion.
I disagree completely. I love the opinions of course but the laughs in between are also expressions of his opinions on how goofy the parts nobody likes are. It's his shtick, so hopefully it doesn't change, but I'll probably watch them anyway.
I skip that intro stuff. Go straight into the review.
I love his opinions. He is right about the micro transactions. They just convert a "gamer" to a "credit card cash cow."
This review format is surprisingly good, reminds me of a Red Letter Media review format type assessing the pros and cons of the media product.
AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS
@John Sterling you do realize he was going to do the original format but got caught up with recording and didn't finish the grind fest right?
And I can't blame him for going to this format for this game.l because of that.
My thoughts exactly. John Sterling.
Audio Balance
Some of the side quests are really memorable, but they’re few and far between!
If people STOP buying microtransactions, studios will stop using it. Its that simple!
Yeah, unfortunately theres always going to be that niche of individuals who can swipe dads' credit card endlessly without worrying about money.
you can't stop the people from wanting to reach for superiority in their communities. People buy crap in order to prove how wealthy they are. It's impossible.
Andre Mengai actually you would have to not buy the game because if a game sells well with micro transaction in it then why not keep them in the games to follow. If the games sales are poor on the other hand then maybe they will think twice about putting them in there games because maybe they are the reason for their lost of sales.
There are too many assholes with the mentality of "it's my money, I can do what I want with it" (even if whatever they're buying is literally aids).
Well that is why I am crapping all over this game every chance I get, really we need to stop buying the games that have them, because they make the games that they are in intentionally less fun to encourage the buying of them. No game that has a player base suffers from making transaction sells because of people with addictive personalities who do not understand they are playing a slot machine with really good graphics.
You guys really outdid yourselves for the pizza rolls bit. Good work.
@John Sterling and to think they almost did away with the whole bit.
Seriously, what games are you guys playing? Cause I really can't see where is all that grind people keep talking about. Maybe people are trying to do only the main quests? I'm not even doing half of those quesions marks, I'm only doing all the quests before leaving to a new area and I'm pretty much on par with the level requirements. Only think I'm getting out of my way to do is chasing Cultists. Maybe it's grindy if you ignore all the content and try to B-line through the main quests, but then again... why would you want to do that on an open world RPG? (beside rushing to finish the review)
I also had no issue with the side quests actual content. Sure there are a lot of fetch and kill quests, but again, so did Witcher. You are a mercenary, people pay you to get shit done. There can't be a more literal way of doing these quests. It isn't any more weird than it was on Witcher 3 or Skyrim. It's a video-game trope, deal with it.
The microtransactions are pretty much the same as Origins. Cosmetics and some XP boost. Which, by the way, those comsetics are the only grind that I could find so far, since you need an especial currency to purchase the cosmetics loot boxes. But the XP boost? Come on, they are as useless as nipples on Batman suit!
I feel like AC gets a lot of bias. People still sees it as "yet another AC game", like it's hard to see it through a different perspective. People are so eager to latch into it's flaws and dismiss it's achievments. Is it better than Witcher 3? No! Is it better than RDR 2? Probably not. But it is still a damn good game. A great game if you are a fan of open world RPGs. Not better but up there with Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn if you like the genre.
I never reached a level block either and by the end of the game i would look at the map and i could still find question marks everywhere. I think the only way you run into underlevel issues is if you literally just bull rush the main story quests.
Clearing bandit camps and fortress as side missions or fetch quests are the most boring, repetitive part of this game.
It was cool at first but after clearing 20 camps it becomes a chore and i hated it.
In all honesty I’ve only put 2 hours into odyssey and I got very bored just playing the intro. This is the only assassins creed I just can’t get into, I prefer Valhalla tbh
agreed
This style of review is fine, AJ. Not as good as your regular, but it is sure as hell a lot better than nothing. It's good. Next time you are thinking of scrapping a review, pop it up anyway. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work! Also, just wanted to say... I don't always agree with you opinions, but you don't fuckin' lie like so many other publications.
I would personally prefer if he named it differently though. When i click angry review, i expect to see an angry grown up man raging on the internet about a bunch of pixels, not a...council of calm people criticizing a game :c
I would rather he didn't make the review at all than do this, because I know that by doing these, he'll sometimes do this style of review when he was perfectly capable of doing it like a regular review. In other words, it's an excuse for Joe to be lazy.
This style of review was good. I dont mind it from time to time. Keep the angry reviews of course, but I cab watch this for sure
I don't get you bro. This is an angry Review, it even has it in the title. Joe can't possibly scream and yell at every game he plays because they're all different from one another.
Cant wait until Joe's and other Joe's red dead 2 angry review!
it'll probably be 1 hour long since there's so much to do.
I personally I love Assassin's Creed Odyssey I agree with you that it can feel like a chore to a point otherwise I love the game it's very fun and I'm level 99 with no boosters just having fun that's the only part I had when I had to grind out side quest was near the end of the game where you have to do a few things in Athens
You must like rpgs and not assassins creed games because only a true fan of the franchise knows that this game just like origins and valhalla is not an assassins creed game

@@darrellbrown633 and why not liking them both? i like RPG games, also like stealth games. "not an assassins creed game" is only perception.

True dat
I'm still so pissed that they're never doing japan. like,,, ninja assassins???? Samurai Templar??? build your shogunate??? snowy mountains, cherry blossoms, zen temples, katanas, more emphasis on stealth, and maybe a more acrobatic take on the parkour??? Do you *_KNOW_* how fast I would throw my money at that?
They genuinely are missing out by *not* going to asia as a *whole*, I mean Japan used the ninjas and concubines as assassins to kill other lords, so much rich stuff to get from asia
China has the best chance for Asia AC because of Wei Yu. He is one of the 7 Assassin Masters. But I think the next may go to Persia with Darius. The origin of the hidden Blade needs to be covered.
Ghost of Tushima
Sekiro
Look up Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. That game may fill the gap for ya
Dont worry joe the skits will aways be good and fun to watch.
Remember when Assassin’s Creed had no micro transactions and the stories were better... yeah, me too.
Me neither, black flag had time savers, ac 3 had micro transactions and I think the Ezio trilogy had them too ,but correct me if I'm misstaken.
Whoserver Pit the only micro transactions those games had was dlc, I don’t know where you got that
dlc don't count as microtransactions
You mean AC 1 and AC 2? Since AC III the "true story" is over. Desmond's dead, so everything that came after AC III is optional ;D
Remember when you never have to buy any of the items or perks
Thank you for blessing me today with this masterpiece!

I prefer your typical format, but content is still content and it's good to still get a review
HOW DARE YOU INSULT G O D
Nothing is true everything is a grind
Dam dude that's deep.
There is wisdom in your words.
...but thats why we play games...
I think that Spider-Man PS4 is the best showcase of what a game in 2018 can do if it's given love, attention and polished through and through.
Without any microtransactions, it's made more then any game microtransactions that I can name.
Please take note other companies.
Izzy Coburn God Of War is better.
Sticky Krippy Both are masterful games.
God Of War is up there too.
Spider-Man was a good game, but it did follow Ubisoft's boring open world mechanics. God of War was the much better exclusive
god of war it's a movie/tv show, far from a real game. Spider-man it's an actual game, despite far from great but at least it's a game.
I enjoyed this format. Too bad OJ couldnt be there.
OJ should have replaced del x.x
I don't mind the sit down discussion type of review. But it feels less structured and hence less informative about lots of features in the game. I prefer the normal angry review but this would be a better review format to the quickfire reviews.
@MARS I'm assuming this is a serious question. OJ is "Other Joe" :)
Yeah AJ and OJ are the kings but Delrith is growing on me tbh
I think Assassins creed Vikings could be cool. Attack British isles and Europe. Even travel to Asia. Lots of options for extra missions and story after the main story is complete.
Nice idea.
I love the sound of that. A gritty Viking saga and hearing those songs on the ships.
Well they just did a game about the Spartans who were all raped as children and raped children as men and their final test being the murder of a slave. Also rapists, child molesters and murderers exist across all peoples and all faiths.
@AlreadyWon Hey dude, all cultures have murderers, rapist, and child molestation. I think it's weird that you think a game would be focused on that aspect. Mohammed married a 9 year old, but their are plenty of games where you can play Muslim factions. And don't get anyone started on Christians. Every culture is guilty of awful things man.
@AlreadyWon Julius Ceasar was a Roman, you Dunce. Vikings (Nordic) is a culture. Their own religion, their own cities, their own building style. No, the Vikings were NOT only there to rape and plunder. They wanted to settle, (and did) all over the world. Vikings even fought as guardsmen for the Byzantine Emporer (Eastern Roman Empire). You don't know what culture means, you don't know anything about history, and you singled out one culture of people to falsely throw slaner at. Dude, go read some before running your mouth. And Mohammed married a 9 year old, per text in the Quran. Not a rumor. By the way, most eastern Russian, Danish, some German and Polish towns, were all settled by Viking farmers and traders. They also had positive impacts on history. Go research Nordic, (Viking) culture champ, and talk to me when you know something about what you're talking about.
The best and most honets review of new AC.
Gridozz three losers just talking shit about a good game for attention. That’s cool
I bought this game, played it and this game is just above average. If sidequests were interesting or game was less grindy, AC would be great game...
Agreed, I've been waiting for this review. The game sounds good, but its cons put it on my "On Sale" list for sure.
@@treythebaked595 for attention? That's some mf lame ass thought process you got going 🤣🤣🤣.
TreyThebaked ok, a couple of things of the top of my head. 1: getting paid to talk about video games makes you pretty far from a loser. Stop throwing out insults just because you're salty. 2: the whole point of making this review is for attention, more views=more money. So I don't know why you're trying make this out to be a bad thing 🤷♀️
sidequests were fine, seems like they never played origins, 90% of them were "rescue this dude and carry him out of the camp" or "kill this" ...just awful, in odssey at least the story is interesting around them, my fav zone were the islands, almost every island had their story and intrigue
exactly.
I like this style of reviews. It doesn’t replace the old style but it has a place.
Right? Angry Podcast Reviews might have a place in the future and it is nice to how Joe bounce off other people when he is actually talking about video games.
probably with a mix of rapid fire
I don't mind this style if they get it organized better. I feel like there was a lot of repetition and topic jumping- especially when Joe was about to talk about Mythic Beasts and then Del cuts him off with some boring point and I was like "NOOOO!!!", but they did circle back around to that discussion, so it was only a minor annoyance.
I am Lord Gaben it fits well for a controversial game like this more than the goofy reviews
These are much better than rapid fire reviews
WE DONT NEED PIRATES! i want assassins back. i want to play an assassin again
ajbeute NO we need assassin pirates
I need more games like this one....this is definantely the best ac ever made
It's only Assassin's Creed because they want to use the franchise name. Otherwise no connection.
So there's no assassins or templars in the story?
The game is connected to the Templars and Assassins, the events of the game are set before those two groups formed. SPOILER - After you defeat the cult, you get a sort of vision of the future that includes scenes from the other games such as AC3 and Brotherhood.
