Assassin's Creed Odyssey Proves Something Incredible | Luke Stephens

- Assassins Creed has been a major franchise for over a decade. Release after release the series never ceases to grow in following and in scope. Just when players think that the IP has grown to new, unbelievable heights Ubisoft releases a new game that smashes expectations. This is the story of Assassins Creed: a repeated demonstration of how to exceed expectations even in the wake of criticism of a “lack of vision.” It certainly has been a journey to get here, and they weren’t always like this, but now it is clear that we should not look at Ubisoft as “that AAA developer that just shoves out ham-fisted games before they’re ready,” but rather as a leading developer with the best tech in the business of Open-World RPG’s. They’ve successfully reinvented themselves and it is incredible.

No one:
Ancient Greek people: *MALAKA*
Ancient Egypt people: Quite decision, Garreth!
It's still one of the most commonly heard words here in Greece 😂
@@jeffcase7827 Neked Iadet :P
HOT DAMN
Maláka
After 80 hours, I still haven't explored half the map or begun any of the DLC. This is the most fun I've had in an AC game since Brotherhood.
It such a beautiful game. I'm in constant awe of my surroundings.... Truly a great game.
exactly thank god there are some intelligent gamers left on this planet. Good on you for having a functioning brain.
How can you like this and brotherhood I don't understand
@@dappermoney2967 bc he had fun
Exactly you talked my mind 😌
If you say that you loved those surroundings i must inform you that you can actually visit them in real life. I live in them.
The game gets so much hate but I’m like 50 hours in and I can’t stop
The only faults I can find in it (but they are big ones)
1. The face animations, to me personally, seem completely whatever. The eyes never seem to quite look at the right place or jiggle around, the facial expressions are incomprehensible (I don't think they used face tracking on real actors, or they did it very very badly).
2. The NPC's are completely goofy.
It is a great game, but tbh I don't think it's unfair RDR2 overshadowed it.
It's better in almost every single way.
They only hate it because it no longer feels like an ac game... for me... i realllllllly love it, but keeps me thinking that they just added assasin's creed in the title to sell😕
Pathetic, I’m 8 days in
Corey Mendoza where can you view how many hours you’ve put into the game?
WlLDSAKE where’s that?
FINALLY
SOME ONE WHO DOES NOT HATE AC ODYSSEY
Ikr
odyssey is shit tbh
@@wilian. alright.....
Don't play it...
And I think you should read the title...
@@breakthebad1770 I read it,what do you mean by that,the game is generally meh as a seperate game but as an ac game its shit
@@wilian. Everyone has their own opinions. In my opinion it's a great game, just not assassin's creed. Call it odyssey and ubisoft could make a whole new franchise out of it.
I completely agree. AC Odyssey didn't get enough credit for how wonderful it is. My favorite AC game.
No its good but not the best
Biggest cap I’ve ever heard
If your favorite is anything other then black flag then your buggin
@@YodaSama0 triggered kid?
@@YodaSama0 Ac2, Brotherhood, and Revelations are all better than Black Flag. That game is 90% boat simulator and 10% being an assassin, not to say it's not a good game though.
I bought this on the cheap just to get through the boredom of being in lockdown due to Covid-19. Turned out to be one of the best games I've ever played. 15 hours in and only covered about 10% of the entire map.
Imraan Adam exactly same reason why I purchased it
Imraan Adam same 😍
Fantastic game.. 40 hours in and still having a blast👏
As a witcher 3 evry rpg game i played dosen't satisfied me , im thinking to buy this game if u played witcher 3 is this close enough??
@@mustafa.ahmed.n3ma I haven't played the Witcher 3 yet so I can't compare. What I can say is that this game feels less like an AC game and more like a typical RPG style game with plenty of content and grinding that never really gets boring. The open world is as big as I've seen in any game and it feels unique. Not to mention the cool fighting mechanics and abilities that you can upgrade as well as an interesting story. It's a solid buy seeing thats it's going for cheap these days.
I’m with you 100% on this. It’s now December 2019 and I’m still playing it. I’m that history nerd, and I’ve been waiting for historically accurate open worlds for a long time. I played Origins for 290 hours and Odyssey for a staggering 729 hours. And I’m not even done the DLC. I never played a single title that long in my life. The game just brings me so much enjoyment. The story, the unbelievable gorgeous world in 4K HDR (some of the best in game sunsets you’ll ever see), the mechanics, the systems.
There was a time where I just rolled as a Spartan and redid Athenian forts over and over just to trigger the conquest battles, and recruit the leader as a ship lieutenant. I still do the daily and weekly quests. There’s just something about this game and I appreciate hearing someone who had a similar experience. It gets a lot of slack for being grindey but when you love just spending time in the world, it’s certainly not a chore. Don’t even get me started on the Discovery Tours.
Oddessy is my favorite. There’s so much to do & I have so many hours clocked. I loved exploring & learning about Ancient Greece. The history is so rich
Michael Weston it’s a history buff’s dream come true. As was Origins. I hope Ubisoft follows this same model when designing the next game. It doesn’t and shouldn’t be a carbon copy of what they’ve already done, but I hope the meticulous attention to historical detail remains the same
Broseph H I am a history buff & I love the game with all my heart. I’ve been playing since the first assassins creed & I live then all. This one just gave me the freedom to explore the world of the ancient past.
There's only around 150 to 200 hours of content in the game I don't know where the hell you got 720 from but it doesn't sound like your telling the truth also If you had played any other Assasins Creed you would realise what a sack of shit Odyssey is in its historical accuracy gameplay features and Assasins Creed lore
There’s a school in Belgium that uses the Origins and Odyssey tours for educational purposes!
My first impression of Odyssey was that it would be utterly innacurate in terms of historical content. But it proved me wrong, it's actually in between, some things are indeed innacurate (such as some weapons) but many characters are so well portrayed, it tries hard to teach you history, which is one of the core elements of this series
And honestly, the weapon thing makes some level of sense due to
1. It's a game
2. Isu existed in the AC Universe, so their stuff is hanging around which pretty much explains all the superpowers/magic weapons.
And honestly, some other abilities can be explained via natural stuff.
Poison Weapons: Add a coat of poison on the weapon
Fire Weapons: Harder to be accurate to, however it could be a thing like charcoal pine resin in Dark Souls, as in, a coating of flammable material over the blade that the user sets on fire, now for durability long term it is a bit risky, however, it could be feasible if you know how to be safe.
Second Wind and the increased Damage thing/Battle cry of Ares?: Adrenaline Rush
And pretty much everything else that Kassandra and Alexios can do are due to the spear which is a piece of Eden, so the Isu tech comes into play.
I knew nothing about ancient Greece when I started playing. I have watched many many documentaries about it to better understand/enjoy the game.
"We did things in the back of his workshop that would make Aphrodite blush
You didn't!! " 😂 😂 😂
Alexios is with the shits
That must have been some really weird things If it would actually make a goddess of love blush.
Witcher 3 was a game which made me feel like I was really in the game. It was the first time I had felt this while playing a game. I can't even say how much that game changed me. I played the game everyday for atleast a 2 hours and got a total of 300 hours and did pretty much everything. It changed my life. I started viewing games differently. After that Odyssey was the closest to make me feel the same way again and that is why I love this game. I've been playing Assassin's Creed games since Ac 2 came out and while I agree the franchise has taken a different turn, I also cannot deny that Odyssey is an underrated gem of a game.
The Witcher was trash in my opinion
@@jaylenbrown8992 no1 thinks your cool for hating good and popular stuff m8,granted i do think witcher isnt perfect,i wish it had more build diversity and weapons,i get we are playing gerald and hes a witcher that uses 2 swords,but if assasins creed could branch out for the better,so can witcher
“Improved writing” game allows you to sleep with every women in the map 😂😂😂
thats odyssey
Wtf i thought i was watching ac origins videi XD
When in Greece you as the Grecians did.
Thats a big improvement💀🌚
Zeus would have been proud
AC Odyssey gets way way way more hate than it deserves. Odyssey is one hell of a fun RPG. One of the best games in the series from a fun factor perspective.
Unpopular Opinion: Ac Unity was fire
Agree, it's literally set your pc on fire at the time it came out
Best parkour in ac
Its parkour was the best parkour ever seen in a videogame.
Parkour was graphics was shit the Templar chic was fire aron was simp and the game sucks
@@debayanmitra6405 you make no sense which makes your opinion worthless so everyone in this section still thinks it's good
So try again
As a Greek, I love this game. 67hrs in and can’t stop playing
It’s really fun to play even though people hate on it bc of over expectations(meaning they expect the game to bend to their every will and want of what they want the game to be)
Your favorite side quest ever huh,...Is there something you're not telling us Luke?
At which location is this quest?
@@randomplayer1522 Lokris area just next to Boeotia
I just got A.C. Odyessy for my birthday and I have been playing it a lot.. I just love it. The game is highly underrated in my opinion. My brother tells me origins is better but I think odyessy is better by far
It’s too bad this game was overshadowed by red dead 2. But this game, was FUCKING AMAZING!!! People really need to give this game a chance, this game had me BLOWN away too! It was truly a MASTERPIECE. And not too many games that come out these days are TRUE masterpieces. But THIS game? Hell yes. It gets the prize
Millenials Are the gayest generation.
Ancient Greece: finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!!
The Greeks didn't have a concept for sexual orientation, sex is sex
@Timmy P well, they had homosexual relations but It was more like this:
The "teacher" ( filosopher ) would have relations with his student, because it was part of the growth of the student, but not everybody would have sex with everybody
Timmy P GAYYYY
@@draco_1876 So?
@Timmy P from what I've read of ancient and classical Greece, most Athenian men were bisexual or pansexual. Sparta was different as it had different customs regarding the way boys and girls were raised
Assasins Creed Odyssey is one of the best rpg/adventure games that someone could play, it has everything, good combat, good customization, good map, good and interesting quests and a ton of hours to be put on, it kind of reminds me of Far Cry 3 but on a way bigger scale
I got 1900 hours on Assassins creed Odyssey BEST GAME EVER!
To this day I have a hard time finding another game that has an open world that I can just immerse myself in, just separate from real life for a little while even if it's just wandering around the beautiful landscapes of ancient greece.
Not that immersive as AC Odyssey, but I suggest playing God of War (2018), the settings was in Norse Myth though. Also, try Witcher 3. Odyssey was kinda copy from this game.
You might also want to know about GOW & Witcher story before playing them.
Another game is Red Dead Redemption 2. Damn that game was so detailed.
@@gamingnoobita7822 Witcher 3 is nothing like Odyssey, what are you talking about lol
@@tmg5338 elaborate please
I know the game isn’t beautiful by any means, but fallout new vegas is one of my personal favorite RPGs. You’d probably like the Witcher series though
For all the people who say that the new games are not like the others Assassins Creeds: You should be thankful for that, because if they were, the old games would not be legendary if they were copied all the time. Something had to change eventually.
Ive played all the AC games, they are ALL good games, but Odyssey takes it to another level. It is truly a masterpiece. I will never understand, nor care why it gets hate from a small camp of AC fans. Whenever i ask a hater why they hate it, they can never give a decent reason why. Usually they say because it doesnt have parkour🙄 And then they try to say it doesnt have stealth/ assassin ability, but i always shut down that LIE, and they quickly shut up. Ive enjoyed every AC game, but Odyssey is the only one i keep going back to. I had hoped Valhalla would be as good as Odyssey, but was disappointed. The gameplay mechanics isnt as smooth, and having to babysit a village gets old REAL fast. And the main character isnt nearly as interesting as Kassandra, the greatest AC character, HANDS DOWN. I applaud every Odyssey fan out there for being open minded TRUE AC fans.
I haven't actually treated AC Odyssey as "Assassin's Creed" but rather "RPG with Assassin's Creed elements" and actually because of that I really like it. İt's very fun if you don't stick to the mindset of not treating it like its own game.
This is the first assassins creed game I’ve played and as a history nerd I’m absolutely fucking thrilled about the attention to detail on everything. I honestly can’t wait for Valhalla
you should try origins also tbh its really worth it
If you like history, try Ac2 and brotherhood, Venice ,Florence and Rome are amazing in these games.
I'm playing this in 2023 and I just got the DLCs before I crossed lvl 20 because it's a masterpiece that I need to explore in its entirety!
Indeed! I have purchased this game long time ago and played it just for a couple of hours and left. With Valhalla launching, I picked it up to go through the story quickly, to find out, after playing for hours, a very emotional scene saying "ubisoft presents"... so I've barely scratched the surface of the game and since then I couldn't stop playing after tons of hours of fun, funny, emotional, deeply tied main and side stories, very rich and varied gameplay, I'm still 50% of the game, incredible amount of the map unexplored yet, and it gets better with every second. Even at mid game new mechanics being introduced it is really an amazing game. Now Valhalla is out, played it for one day and I feel I want to come back to odyssey. Believe me, I'm not an RPG fan, I barely play games. I'm much more into flught simulators and combat or hard-core survival complex games. This game is fantastic and accessible to everyone and it can be played the way you like the best... give it a try... please
I bought this on sale and because I've never played assassin's Creed. When I tell you I can't stop playing... Best game I've played so far!!!
At first I approached this game as an assassin's creed game and was mostly negative about it. But than I realised that it is a really good action-rpg adventure and I should take it more lightely, and now I am having so much fun with it.
I agree with all, except the Syndicate part. This game is the reason I'm into AC Games in the firt place and also made me wanna play video games sistimaticaly instead of a few times a year. I think it's a great starting point for someone who wants to get into video games as it is not too vast nor too small and you can follow the story easilly even if you haven't played the previous AC Games.
I didn't like this game at first. I didn't like combat, all the superhuman powers, ship physics. But then I got into it and started enjoying the hell out of it.
same... i was not interest in it... but everyone said it was better than origin so i get the early release one so i can talk about it... it was better than expect... overall good game compare to what they made for last 5 years...
@@campkira Good, but definitely not better than Origins.
@vibhu sharma I disagree. Origins had a better plot and characters that didn't feel like cardboard cutouts. The world also felt more dynamic and alive. It also looked better graphically. Having one well-written protagonist without dialogue choices also lends itself way better to the narrative. Odyssey felt really empty and lifeless in comparison.
The Things I love about ODESSEY and ORIGINS are that I can explore ancient Greece and Egypt respectively. I really haven't played any AC game before Odessey bec I just don't like them. I mean now I feel that they are a masterpiece but BEFORE that realisation I fell in love with Odessey. Ancient Greece is too damn beautiful. Same thing with Egypt. I wanted to look and visit the pyramids when they were in there original form with the golden top. But Valhalla disappointed me, I waited for that game for soo long and saved money for it. Ancient England and Norway has nothing special.
Origins was the first AC game I got into properly, played valhalla then odyssey.. Loved valhalla but odyssey has been my favourite.. I just can't beat medussa to do the atlantis story.. Which kinda sucks!
Edit.. Killed medussa.. Stuck on the 3 headed dog now.. Fml!!
The only AC game I never played (aside from Valhalla). Just started playing a week ago and you’re right. It is incredible.
I’m a big fan of the series too. Origins was fun for a little but the map was like 99% desert.
Honestly i completely agree with you. i tried playing the first AC game and fell off the wagon because it was so slow paced. after playing origins and now on my second run of odyssey with kassandra, i've gone back and purchased nearly all the games so i can play them. This game is so underrated for so many reasons and none of them are justified.
He has just expressed my sentiments to the T! This is my favorite Assassin's Creed. It is definitely a masterpiece and Ubisoft should be given high praise for this game. It is, by far, the biggest world I have ever played in and the most beautiful.
365 hours played, 12053 kills...and still haven't done all the side quests or the exploration/educational mode. If you own an Xbox One or PS4 and you do not own this game, it is an utter travesty. I thought Origins was amazing, and it was, in it's own right, but this just blew me away and far exceeded my expectations. Kudos to you Ubisoft. Can't wait until the next one.
don't like origins.. but yeah just finish BOth DLC.. overpower as hell... best RPG made by ubisoft but doubt the next one would be as good....
Ive been holding back on playing this game bec the witcher 3 broke every single game for me... but this made me buy it..
It’s definitely in my top 10 games. Definitely entertaining and lots of stuff to do around. The gameworld was massive
Oddessy is my favorite. There’s so much to do & I have so many hours clocked. I loved exploring & learning about Ancient Greece.
...That's sad.
Game Conspiracy that’s his opinion why is it sad?
@@sandwichman6788 you sad
@@alexanderbjartur9165 its sad because he's deluded
“Writing is better than origins” lol wut
Origins was much better as an Assassin Creed game. There's barly anything in Odyssey that relates to the Assassin creed world and story. Aside from parts of the DLC.
Ziolek2000 odyssey is the beginning of the assassin bloodline that's why it's a assassins creed game
@@JulianSki Yes but that is only explained in Legacy of the first blade not the main story campaign. In the main story there is nothing assassin creed about it aside from the Isu and the animus which has gotten to the point where its become a VR headset 😂
Ac odyssey wasnt much abt assassins imma be honest though the game by itself is still sick. Prefer it than origins
Poor man's Witcher 3 was hot garbage. Odessey has millions of problems the most common one is it's a cash grab and uses brand name . Without the AC title the game would have flopped .
True words, he spoke out of my heart - Odyssey is by far the best and most enjoyable single-player game I've ever experienced.
Luzifer360 please explain the story in odyessy to me
I was always an elder scrolls fan and thought nothing could compare to Skyrim. Boy was I wrong by a long shot after I played Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Odyssey is one of the best games I've ever played, I was late to the party and I can't believe it took me so long to get to it.
yeah i got the game 2 weeks ago and i grinded so hard that im already level 46 and beat the odyssey story line i just need to complete cult of kosmos and the one of your real father
@@Ghall2708 don't forget about "the fate of Atlantis" expansions, they're pretty good
I put 40+ hours and I didn’t get to finish the game last year because of the XP problem leveling up is way to hard and grindy, I was literally 2-3 hours away of finishing the game lol so I watched it on TH-cam instead
Meliodas that’s where I got stuck at lol I beat the game but couldn’t finish the other two
Fine. I'll get the flowers, and you'll give me the spear. I mean sword. I mean... don't go anywhere.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I personally don't have a problem with the character not being an Assassin, we might not have a hidden blade, but we have a broken Spear(that is awesome, btw) I personally liked the ending i was more interested in Alexios/Kassandra's story than Bayek's. and believe me, I'm a sucker for anything Egypt related, especially if it's Assassin's Creed, but Odyssey is much better.
I know this might sound like a idiot but I think Odyssey is the best assassins creed RPG game I've played by far
Yeah, cuz there are only 2 ac rpg games lmao.......
Holy fuck, I played through AC Odyssey this month while also reading the story of Oedipus in Stephen Fry's Heroes last week. I realized that Supideo's story was a parody of the story of Oedipus, but never thought about the fact that it is the same name, but spelled backwards. That's amazing. These kind of little details are the reason this game is one of my favs of all time.
This game is gorgeous, I am 100+ hours in, yet completed only 30% story and am already hyped for Assassin's Creed Valhalla!!!!
I'm almost done now in 3rd episode of atlantis 155 hours
People hating on AC Odyssey and yet it's the AC game with most actuve player count.
Odyssey: 4500+ active players.
Origins: 2100+ active players.
Valhalla: 2000+ active players.
Looks like very successful ASSASSIN'S CREED game.
I Love Odyssey Always something to do and Kassandra is Gorgeous
I love this game so much. The story is so captivating and emotional and the characters are fleshed out and likable, including our own. I love that there are 9 different endings and that you long lasting consequences even for side quests. The moral ambiguity the character work creates is pretty awesome too. The side quests are enjoyable and surprising and the game itself looks beautiful.
I haven't played all of the AC games, my last one was Brotherhood. I'm a big fan of history and ancient Greece with it's mythology is exciting for me and the history of it all. When I first looked at the map in game, I wasn't sure if I could go to all of these places. I didn't realize how big this map is and still haven't because I haven't even explored anywhere close to all of it yet.
I love coming across the different mercenaries. I remember walking down a dirt path and I saw this mercenary icon and I wasn't sure what was going to happen. He was riding a horse, came by and said my name in a sentence and on the screen it popped up with his name. About 30 seconds later, another mercenary rode by.
I love this game. The music, the beauty of the open world. This game had a lot of love put into it and it shows.
The one major tip for anyone wanting to try this game is that if you wish to play it, go in with an open mind and DO NOT (I REPEAT, DO NOT) go in expecting a full fledged assassins creed style game. Someone I heard (who i forgot) said something along the lines of this: Odyssey is an RPG with Assassins Creed elements mixed in, NOT an Assassins Creed game with RPG elements mixed in.
It’s a really good game. I have played for around 18 hours now I think and even though in a low level (Currently at 18) I enjoy seeing what Ancient Greece has to offer. I enjoy fighting a group of bounty hunting mercenaries, I enjoy trying to find the right time to slip through the guards sights to go kill a target who belongs to a certain group (story related so I won’t spoil it), and I even enjoy the side quests and the interesting stories they tell. What I’m saying is the game has a very good way of making you feel like you world is alive with people living in it and going about their own lives wether it be from the 2 major military powers fighting over territory to the mercenaries that pop up at the most random and sometimes most inconvenient of times, even some of the citizens add to the realism of the game. It’s all great.
Then there’s also the fact that you can go get a weapon with a level requirement of 41 at like any point in time if you manage to get to its location without provoking anyone.. or the alpha lions that guard it. Gotta love it
Im 80 Hours in odyssey and I can’t understand the hate it’s so fucking good!!
Sure it has nothing to do with assassins (not at all) but it is an amazing openworld rpg
As someone who studies philosophy. Seeing young Plato aspire to learn from Socrates was just nutty 😭
Kevin Redula How so? Plato was either a student of Socrates or intimately familiar with him as the leading thinker of his day. He clearly revered him as is evident in Plato’s Dialogues even if Plato’s own philosophy may have expanded or differed.
Somebody just came from their online philosophy course.
@@diamondbracelette how does that invalidate what he said. You either didn't properly read Kevin's comment or spouted and pasted stuff to try to sound intelligent.
@@Theo-jw6hz How so? Explain
SO MANY PEOPLE hate assassins creed odyssey but like...I LOVE that game.
I don't understand the hate
I'm almost pissed myself laughing when the drunk olympic athlete is eaten by sharks after trying to hug you
Yeah that was hilarious
This guy and Dunkey are gonna get along SOOOO well.😏
The only most beautiful and incredible game ever made of 2018 era, still looks gorgeous.
RDR2 and God of War are more beautiful
I did the mission but didn't sleep with him😂😂
The Cultist missions are Assassin's Creed to the core imo. Portraying the main protagonist as a neutral mercenary during the Greek wars is genius. He fights for both sides and hunts down a horrible cult, fighting Gods......among other things.....Amazing setting and plot.
Yeah, but when you think About it, it was just: Go There and talk to someone, go There and Pick up something, go There and kill someone, go Back.
how does that differ from any other RPG?
@@MrMakingwavesmedia or even real life?
hoptropik CZ Oh just wait until you have to shop for groceries. You’ll hate it.
You're point is? Alot of games are like that, what differs is how the game makes those seemingly tedious steps interesting, and this game really does make them interesting.
@@user-ii4vj9vf2v Yeah, a lot of games do this. My problem here is that he is just making it seem like the quest is the second coming of Christ.
This game is a masterpiece. Yes, it May not be like any other AC game, but honestly thats why i love it so much.
You might love the game and if so good for you and more power to you but aside for size scale i guess which is too big filled with too little, this game is not a masterpiece.
Story is trash and predictable didn’t care about any of the characters got a few hours in and immediately got bored
Just got the gold bundle for like $25 bucks on Black Friday last week. I don’t know how it took me so long to play this gem. I absolutely love it so far. Like, I literally can’t get enough. It’s definitely one of my all time faves. Right up there with rdr2, KCD, wow, fo3/nv/4 etc..
Assassin's Creed odyssey is the best that I've ever played. I just recently started gaming, played the hell out of many games, but this one continues to blow me away, worth every penny and more. I actually deliberately bought helix credits from the store because, well, they effing deserve it for making such a masterpiece. I've never played any other assassin's Creed game, so I didn't even know odyssey was the improved version. That being said, I can not wait for Valhalla, if it's anything like odyssey, we're in for a treat!
What games have you played
If you recently started, you should check out some older AC like Black Flag or Revelations
The mechanics of Odyssey are fun and I enjoyed it. After a while when you realize every single objective in odyssey is "infiltrate base, kill people, do the nation objectives, conquest battle, repeat"
While old AC game's objectives are stalking people, infiltrate, upgrade, repeat. Not much to do, I've tried to play black flag, unity, and syndicate, none of them finished.
@@arthoormoorgen9492 I think the difference is that those games had more specific choreographed set pieces and moments. Brotherhood and revelations had these really well designed parkour chase sections, Black Flag had these big cinematic pirate battles with things exploding and crazy music playing, it feels like the earlier games made more of an effort to have some big standout moments while in odyssey the regular infiltrations and fight sequences feel identical to the story ones. And that made the whole game feel flat sooner than others for me
Origins is more memorable for me then odyssey both great game tho
erik ' shadya!!! 😢😢
Origins felt like quality over quantity, where Odyssey feels like quantity over quality. That's not to say Odyssey doesn't do some things better than Origins, but to me, Origins just feels more hand crafted in nearly every way.
@@brett84c yeah, definitely. The quests and their writing were way more connected to the main plot. You could see the insane oppression that inevitably led to the start of the order play out in every quest.
i agree. so glad i gave this game a chance. I'd been down on AC since revelations. This game is truly amazing.
Loving Odyssey. Playing on exploration/hard
lvl57 and still loving it.
THIS GAME IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE. i don’t get WHY it gets so much hate
Because people are stupid
Damn, I passed on banging the blacksmith and didn’t get any of the Oedipus references when I returned the shield and sword.
They didn't tell him he was adopted on mine. The only thing I did different was I didn't sleep with the blacksmith.
you didn't fulfill the prophecy completely so you couldn't get the funny ending
Same. I had no idea that there was an alternative ending here. They never said he was adopted on mine either.
Agree. Completed this game a year ago. It's phenomenal. Totally gorgeous and massive world. Exciting and intriguing interactions, gripping story, great combat.
Its fantastic.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot believe that Odyssey didn't make it to many games of the decade/generation. It is one of the most detailed, beautiful looking game with hours and hours and hours of quality gameplay.
The characters are all so fleshed out : Sokrates, Barnabas, Herodotos, Alkibiades, Perikles, Kleon, Brasidas.....I mean, i can't recall a game other than the Witcher 3 where i remember so many of the characters and thiat i belive is speaking a lot.
If you call yourself a gamer and haven't yet played this, please do.
Big big kudos to the developers on this one. Give yourself a pat on the back. Thank you guys.
I don’t know why this game gets so much hate. Just finished it and all the DLCs for the first time tonight (may 2022). I’ve got 90 hours on the game and still can’t get enough. Would definitely recommend getting if you’re contemplating playing.
I can't get it either. Yet they praise the games like AC3 which does the things way worse than AC Odyssey. Nostalgia is a very poisonous thing. They wanted the series to change, Ubisoft did it and they complained (Unity) not just because of glitches but also because of the similar design (missions, similar stories (the main characters are mostly orphans, I wonder why... That's actually the difference I really liked in Odyssey. I said "Oh shit, finally a character with a family, and she/he is searching for his/her family! They finally tell us something different since AC Rogue!". I personally like family stories especially those with sibling conflicts since as a girl myself I have two elder brothers.), dull characters, boring combat system etc.) we've already seen in previous games, people wanted something more different from this and Ubisoft created a whole new thing. With a much better combat system, exploration, side quests, freedom in character builds etc. yet toxic fans still complain about that. Ubisoft is actually happy with the sales now, they don't want to face with another case like Unity's.
I couldn't agree more. This game is absolutely incredible...epic.
I'm over 80 hours in and I do side quests all the time because I don't want the game to end. Brilliant...in my top 3 of all time. Maybe #1.
I really really like someone appreciate this game, maybe is not the perfect assassin's game but is amazing.
I love this game and I’ve never really been a fan of playing assassin’s creed. This game is so addicting. I got this for Christmas I’ve been playing for a few weeks and I’ve already reach level 63. I’ve almost beaten the whole game. I was pleasantly suprised by this game.
Odyssey is in my top 3 games of all time it’s so fun to do whatever i want too do in that game
I still play this game today, I personally think it's one of the best games I've played just on exploration alone
Honestly “give it a chance” like you said was the best thing I’ve done. I’m truly in awe with the game and the extreme detail that has gone into every character and the quests. The open world, the colorful paintings inside the temples. So much detail that I appreciate. My favorite AC will always be the OG 1&2. But this is definitely up there.
The side quest "A really bad day" was also so fucking good. The myknonos side arc. This game is the best RPG I've ever played. Didn't have as much fun as this game since the CoD MW series
Many people say that this is not an Assassin’s Creed game. I disagree, I think this is how Assassin’s Creed should’ve been in the first place.
The thing odyssey proves is that bigger isn't always better
Just bought this game for the Summer Sale and got the Ultimate edition bc i've been really needing something to sink my teeth into and i'm 20 hours in right now and JUST finished Megaris and good god I'm lovingthis game. Improves on everything that made me quit playing Origins. Can't wait to put a few hundred hours in this like I did with Witcher
TBH I have never been able to enjoy a game without getting bored of it until Odyssey. It's the fact that there's so many things to do and see, I keep falling in love with it.
Finally someone who appreciates this magnificent game! I am an Ancient Greek history and mythology fanatic and this game really does the time period, geography and mythology justice.
ofcourse it is a fantastic game but we are ASSASSIN'S CREED and this is not ASSASSIN CREED
@@TheUnmaskedThunder get DLC..... it more about the story... gameplay is the same... but you had more choice that just run and kill your target... don't matter since new one coming viking...
That Kyra sidequest arc is the best for me.
Yeah same
Combat is just slash slash doge slash doge slash. Say what you want about old ac combat but it looked really cool
☼ i love that short spear too
I loved AC:Odyssey and completed it 100%. Took like 120h but worth it, loved most of the quests and the lore was fun too.
I've spent countless hours playing this masterpiece! I will always remember the first time I've loaded up this game, and was taken away instantly by the world of Greece.
I bought it on sale recently. And I absolutely love it.
Bought for 40 soon after release from the Razor store. Best full price purchase ever.
This is a great game, the story telling is better than the crappy movies of today!
"You killed Mater and had sex with Pater" HAHAHAHAHAHA holy crap!
Definitely my favorite of modern AC games despite it's flaws. It's done so much right that Valhalla stepped back on and some ways nonsensically. Seriously the heroic greek merc doesn't gameover when killing civilians but a viking who in history is notorious for their rampant murder does?
"You killed his máter and fucked his páter"
I haven't played Oddysey yet and this line made me laugh my ass off xD
Ive never played an Assassins Creed game, the premise didn't hook me so i stayed away. My 9 year old son suggested it because he liked it so a year after it's release I paid 50 dollars for everything including all DLCs. I absolutely love it. I started playing and forgot I was actually sent back in time to do something or rather. I am addicted, there's not a second where i am bored and it doesn't limit you to the storyline. The maps and storylines are huge!!! The characters are great and the history, myths and maps are incredible. I love this more that Red Dead and i loved that.
The next assassins creed game, in my opinion should have injury mechanics, when u fall, you limp. When you get shot in the leg, you can’t run, if in the arm, you strength decreases. You can’t climb if you’re severely injured, you bleed out eventually, and health doesn’t regenerate by itself. You aren’t a demigod like Alexios, and at the start you aren’t even good at anything, you have to grind your way through to level up your skills. And really earn the ‘assassin’ badge.
Origins and Odyssey are my favorite assassin's Creed games
