![Assassin’s Creed Origins vs Odyssey [Which Is Better?]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DsCyXxtvAsU/mqdefault.jpg)
Bayek is the reason why I still have a very soft spot for Origins despite my dislike for the RPGs. I can’t explain how attached I felt to Bayek and his story. His voice actor really did outperform himself.
My thoughts exactly!
Bayek's the GOAT!
And the way Egypt was designed in Origin... You didn't see that in oddysee and Valhalla.
It's especially unbelievable that Bayek's voice actor (I can't remember his name) was only like 23-24 when he recorded the lines for Origins. For such a young man he could really nail those more emotional scenes, the ones with Shadya for example.
Bayek’s Creed is the star of the rpg games
The way he screamed Shadya's name while striking down the Order member responsible was a legendary moment for me. His va needs to be goated
Agreed! Bayek made that transition to their RPG style a little easier in my opinion. I had the same feeling with Kassandra in Odyssey.
For me it's gotta be Origins. The character of Bayek is so well written and his story so tragic. I think it's also helped a lot by having mocapped cutscenes.
ORIGINS IS KING❤
Mirage fixes the issues I had with Origins but at the same time water downs or completely ruins things i liked about origins.
What’s the issues you had in Origins?
@@Jimmm11deez nuts
@@Jimmm11Parkour, Stealth, black box assassination mission, big cool City to explore, and the hiden blade who instant kill (i still love Origins btw)
@@caseybarrett8352damn that’s so funny and makes so much sense 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂(😑)
@@caseybarrett8352 daaamn that's funny blud 😁
Origins and it’s not even close, I mean origins is a complete game while mirage is a dlc forced into a full game
From what I've seen Mirage looks better to me. I hated having to upgrade your hidden blade in Origins to assassinate people. Also, the fact Mirage takes place in mostly one city is something I prefer.
I actually kind of liked the idea of upgrading the hidden blade as a one off thing for Bayek. The blade isn't perfected yet, and him upgrading it to how it is in later games before Altair is kind of cool.
Of course I believe this should only be a thing in Origins tho, just like how the combat is more important. This should be a outlier and not the norm.
Also upgrading the hidden blade doesn't really make sense especially for that time period. It's just done to make it feel like an rpg. Not a fan of an artificial hidden blade upgrading. Ezio trilogy did upgrading hidden blade better
Origins is far far better.
@@enzoamore8971i think the same thing it kinda makes sense he upgrades his hidden blade but i would’ve preferred if it wasn’t a grind and had less upgrades about 5-10 is the perfect amount
Yes, the need to upgrade the hidden blade severely impacted my enjoyment of the game since the pacing of the story and the moment to moment gameplay took a hit because of it.
I honestly think Origins is one of the best in the series. I will give the parkour and stealth to Mirage by a LONG shot cause that's what the games designed for lol, but I just think Origins tops it in almost every other way, obviously the story and characters are better because its a far bigger game with more time put into it, but from the voice performances to the motion capture to their individual stories, origins handles characters and their stories much better. Bayek is one of the best main characters from not just AC but from the last couple years of games as a whole. and Basim is cool and has the potential to be amazing (if they gave one of these guys a sequel for once) he imo doesn't really stand a chance with Bayek. the combat while not being everyones favorite has some of the most depth and customization from the series and once you learn can be just as fun as the counter based system from the older games, in my playthrough of the main story I never needed to go out of my way for any of the upgrades because I didn't just blast through the story, and imo I think with games like Origins or Unity or even the older AC games, or games like RDR2 or Ghost of Tsushima, its much better and an overall more fulfilling experience to take your time and explore the world then to just slam your way through the story. I get that its not everyone's prefered playstyle but games as big as Origins or Red Dead and with as fleshed out characters like Bayek if you don't get lost in that world then maybe that game wasn't really for you in the 1st place. and from a game from 2017 it still looks phenomenal and from the characters to the world itself looks better then Mirage imo. I get that Mirage is a much smaller game with much less time then Origins but there is just so much to do in Origins, from the ridiculous amount of side content, to the bases, to the tombs, to the gladiator arena, to the hippodrome, to those giant bosses, to just exploring Egypt and its cities to the huge open deserts and bodies of water. plus in Origins you can fight hippos so 🤷
origins is my fav ac but i put mirage right behind it (yes i think the ezio trilogy and unity are overrated).
@@shimik11 did you play any of the Ezio trilogy when it came out? the hype matched the result.
@@shimik11so true
@@P..770nah, the parkour is grossly overrated, and the story. Definitely overrated but I do like the Trilogy
@@P..770Objectively, they are the best. Never Unity.
Bayek in my honest opinion had the best voice actor in the entire series. That counts a lot on the feel of the game, as you spend time with the character, understanding things changes by the way they express themselves. One of the reasons people love AC4 and still play it a lot nowadays, is the great voice acting for Edward and Adewale. In Mirage, Roshan voice actress is the best. They need to create a DLC for Roshan.
Roger Clark: What am I chopped liver?
@@oukeithroger clark never voiced anyone in assassins creed dumbass
Alexios had the best voice actor in the series lol
Bayek followed by AC1 Altair. Dialogue was next level in Altair’s Creed. Don’t understand the quick steep decline with AC2
@@RAY_II everything about alexios’s performance was terrible. accent sounded incredibly fake and the voice was emotionless
Mirage was perfect for me. I loved origins arid climates and color palettes. I also loved the balance origins struck with combat and stealth and I believe they perfected the assassination progression but felt it was missing the traditional AC touch with how vast the world was and how much was going on all at once, so when Mirage came out I was in love because it took everything I liked about origins and refocused it
Wrong 😂
@@acest2098wdym wrong 💀
Mirage is a huge downgrade compared to Origins. Here's very short list of downgrades off the top of my head:
1. You can't use sword while on horseback
2. Walking and running animations are worse
3. Fire and lighting are worse
4. Boat physics is terrible
5. Footprints on sand look like a joke
6. The open world is like 10 times smaller
7. Robe physics is outdated
8. Clothes don't get wet when you enter shallow water
9. The water doesn't get bloody when you throw corpses in it
10. Fights with animals are terrible + you can't hunt
11. Enemy AI is dumb: they don't carry dead bodies, they don't have any schedules (in Origins they patrol, go to sleep, sit by the fire, go to take a piss etc.)
Origins was harder.
You say that people who prefer the older games are more likely to prefer mirage, however as someone who has played all the games and prefers the oldest games I have to say origins felt better. While it is less assassins creed, the character and story felt like it had a soul, rather than mirage which feels hollow with the purpose of being an ac game which leads it to be lacking in most other places.
In my opinion I think origins is better because I think they did the rpg aspect well and after you beat the story there is a lot to do where as mirage doesn’t have much to do besides the artifacts and stuff like that. Thank you for putting out great content and your videos make my day!
And the exploration experience in Origins is just way better
Dudes delusional. Origins is far and away better than Mirage. Hell, Black Flag is better than Mirage. Pathetic to say otherwise if we're being real@@JG-jz3wh
Idk if you’re a new fan but that’s how all the AC games were before the ROG era of AC
@@adaptivegamer9905 I am not new but if you look at most old acs they had actually a pretty decent amount to do after completing the story like unity’s heists and co-op for an example
To be fair Mirage was purposefully doing its best not to be an RPG
Mirage reminds me of a mix between Revelations & Origins
nah valhalla and orgins
@@TheRipaw4 no. revelations and origins
@@akaakaakaak5779 how revelations it uses more assets from valhalla
Orgins is a masterpiece of a game. Graphics slightly better, cutscenes very good. Open world just right...Very difficult to top it. Combat is also fantastic in Orgins.
Origins was always my favorite, from the last 3 games
me to i love the story of bayek and his child it's so sad for him
Because origins is a better game than Odyssey and Valhalla
@@evanpaluch6190 better that Cringhalla 10 times
I have yet to play Mirage but I can say that Origins is a really good game, it had that strike of balance between old and new. I really enjoyed my time with it.
Honestly Bayek is in the top 3 of assassins, his character writing and voice acting was top of the shelf. Origins had a really really cool setting too. The map was smaller so the RPG style worked a lot better.
Honestly i think if mirage could have a larger budget and more production time with bigger work team (In the sense that Ubisoft Bordex can get more staff) than it did be top 5
yup, imagine mirage with origins' budget
Both are in my top 5 AC games because they feel like natural evolutions of the series, but I do prefer how Mirage handled that over Origins.
Damn this video made me realise how much improved the gameplay of mirage is over the rpg entries
AC 2, Black flag and Origins are my top 3. All these 3 are GOATed Games.
I remember you, you were the arthur Morgan I kept seeing a few years ago😂
@@Based1889 really that's so funny to hear.
I love both games to be honest but I’m more interested in the timeline and lore
Yeah AC works best with Mid East settings. You get something else when the timeline overshadows the assassins
Agreed
Awesome take on the similarities and differences when comparing Origins and Mirage.
I’m a huge history buff and personally enjoy the time periods around Ancient Greece and ancient Egypt. While the larger maps added a lot of “dead space”, the vibrancy the open world gives us provides an opportunity to explore a world far in the past.
Mirage is awesome so far, and it’s very refreshing to get away from the hack and slash of Valhalla. I’m having alot of fun in a dense city, working as an assassin and street thief.
In terms of character comparisons, I think most of would lean to Bayek.
They create a deep story telling of his character from the start while putting together all the pieces that have inevitably lead him to creating the hidden ones.
He’s a character I truly rooted for from start to finish.
Mirage is good but origins is masterpiece.
I had a lot of fun with origins, but mirage hits that assassins creed itch
Origin is sh!ttt
Origins is the far far better story with good gameplay but is not a masterpiece to me and I prefer Mirage ultimately
@@TheBatman402don't worry. Just because rpg is not your style doesn't mean it's shit. I respect your opinion though.
@@grapes9h5 Agreed
Been waiting for someone to post this comparison video, glad it was you 😎
Dang man, I remember back in the day when you only had 100k. Keep up the stellar work 👍👍
I actually need a crossover between you and the hidden one on yt. Great content
I was waiting for a video like this after mirage released. Luv ur content ❣️
Thank you for making this video! I'm really considering buying Origins after finishing Mirage.
Can't get enough playing around desert!
Love your video and keep up the great work
It is Origins for me. Ancient Egypt is still my favorite setting, and the roleplay and immersion you could have as an assassin is still strong in the game. I play Bayek as a Medjay warrior who may not be proficient with stealth but must learn to master it to hunt those responsible for the death of his son and protect his people. So I felt that the story and inability to one-shot assassinate enemies in the beginning made sense, and phylakes and some commanders were experienced warriors who can give Bayek a challenge.
From an Egyptian Egyptology nerd and old AC fan, I LOVED both, but I think
Story = Origins(including everything, side content, and DLC) is more fleshed out and complex while Mirage is more direct and simple in formula, which is refreshing after Odyssey and valhalla. I beleive both actually compliment the game, Origins was the shift people were waiting for and it delivered, Mirage also serves a similar purpose making its simplicity(by simple I am referring the lineraity of the story and how it incorporated everything an old ac fan wants in an AC story, like the Assassin vs Templar conflict, the Isu element the amazing assassination missions, the Assassin brotherhood, stealth, parkour etc) side note I love that both have a good replayability factor.
Combat = Origins wins in combat for its sheer variety of wepons and animations, Origins has a well rounded combat. My hot take is that Mirage's combat isn't ugly or bad it is just a stripped down version of valhalla's with style speed and cool finishers if you get the combos right.
Stealth = Mirage wins, even though Origins had a good and functional ai, and outposts etc Mirage perfected the stealth system Origins was aiming for and brought back fan favorite tools.
Parkour = Mirage wins fs, the reliability of ejects was important for me and Origins lacked that but Mirage didn't, plus even though I loved Origins and the setting, most of the nile valley reminded me of modern Egyptian rural villages, which do not have many parkour elements for an Assassin to parkour on😂(not historically innacurate btw most Egyptians were farmers and lived in small villages up until the industrial revolution, but the setting was just not well suited for parkour compared to the dense baghdad- granted Alexanderia Memphis Cyrene and Thebes had a good amount of density but nothing compared to Mirage).
Protagonists = I loved Bayek, and I think he has the potential to surpass Ezio if he gets 1 ir 2 sequels, he's like the Egyptian Kratos to me😂(Similar backstory, similar character progression, plus Assassin elements, plus a well written and acted character, Bayek was great to me as an Egyptian, an Assassin's creed fan and a God of War fan)but Basim's archetypal hero personality was not bland or a negative to me, I think it actually improved the story's flow, as it showed us his character development in 5 stages, street theif to apprentice to initiate to master to half Loki serving the tragic and serious tone of the game.
Overall, even though I am not the kind that finds common ground and takes both sides, I am conflicted on which is better because they both served their purpose perfectly
got 100% on both but origin has a special place in my heart. i got 3x more time in origins so i feel more attached. narrative was way better imo and building up ur skills that acc show a diff maked me happy. mirage very good tho
in ac mirage i played on hard and the hard modes combat didnt feel that challenging until the bounty hunters showed up and i was using the default loadout for most of the story
edit: poisoned throwing knives and smoke bombs are very useful for takeing out the bounty hunters
One thing i liked about the tools in Mirage is that not only are the tools useful when you have not been noticed by an enemy/enemy's but also while in combat. Sometimes i could not get the counter roll to work on the bigger guys so i would just throw down a smoke bomb and kill him. The stealth is so goooooooooooo!
Hell yea man! gonna be a great watch for sure!
Im starting to realize that what im missing more than anything is the different cities that all look different. Ac1 had a few cities that you could travel to and none of them look the same,and then AC2 had florence and venice and the villa etc. If we had a game like mirage that had the different cities and building the brotherhood up etc like the best games in the series. The lack of different cities is honestly the only thing i didnt like about ac unity 😅. Like we need to travel and explore like we used to be able to
Still need to try Mirage. From what you explained, I think I will like it. I also agree that Origins has a gorgeous world and an amazing story.
Combat wise, since it's more difficult and it seems more grounded than Origins, I think it's better in Mirage.
I prefer the classic style and design of old Assassin's Creed games, so I of course enjoyed Mirage. Even then, I still think Origins is the better game. Mirage has better stealth and parkour, but the lack of good story and characters really hurt the experience and pacing overall. I felt completely disconnected from what was happening with the characters and the story, and that hurt the pacing and engagement for me. I also prefer the side quests and progression system of Origins, which can be pretty addicting.
ONe thing I miss from origins/Odyssey was that they put in Overpower attacks that gave you a super cool attack and then took it out from Valhalla/Mirage.
I think a perfectly sized world is Rogue's, you have the North Atlantic to explore on boat, you have River Valley to explore the wilderness on foot, and you have New York as a city to explore
I'm fairly certain that the North Atlantic is much smaller than The Caribbean in AC4, but as a whole Rogue has a "bigger" map, as in more playable area, not necessarily just one big map though
Both of them are equally good in there own way origins gave me the grind and Egypt was amazing mirage on the other hand gave me the stealth and feel of an assassin because it took place in a city setting again wasn’t as populated like unity was but i had such a good time
I have similar thoughts as you, Origin has great art and a large area to explore, and Mirage has a lot beautiful scenes in the rich city Bagdad. Also, I like the stealth system better in Mirage than Origin, spending my time and create strategy for it is fun! One thing I like to point out, I really like the Discovery tour in Egypt and Greek worlds, but they cancel it in Mirage, I feel bad that I cant walk around the city, watch scenes of people's daily life, and listen the tour guide in the background. I knew there are history documents I can read, but it doesn't feel the same! I guess it probably caused by the low budget, and I hope they will make Discovery tour for Bagdad as DL in the future. They put so many beautiful details in Bagdad, it will be a waste to not create a tour with them.
Can you please do a retrospective on Tomb Raider 2013? It's 10 years old and In my opinion it still holds up.
Also I'm hoping that Ubisoft Bordeaux will improve and expand on the foundation they laid out either in a sequel or a different game set in a different time period.
Although it is unlikely, I still hope and believe that Mirage's motions could change. If I'm not mistaken there are a few games where whole scenes are changed for better experience, and I think if Mirage's developers' dedication and if the sales are high, they could pull off applying motion capture in scenes that are really in need of it.
I did the platinum for Mirage, it was worth it and it was fun
Maybe I'm tripping but I feel like Origins has cities like Alexandria, Thebes and the area around the Hippodrome especially for some reason, which are just as populated as Baghdad and have a lot of dense urban environments as well.
Man, it still hurts so much knowing how the cutscenes in Mirage would be so much better with motion capture, as you said. Oh well, what's done is done.
just wanna say im new to the franchise. originally came to assassins creed creeping from shadow of war looking to get my toes wet with other similar games. while the combat in this franchise will never be as cinematic or noob friendly as in shadow of war (which i shouldnt expect completely different franchises) i want to thank you personally. you have definitely helped someone like me who has fresh eyes on the franchise make up my mind and so for that reason im going to stick with a top 5 i plan on sinking into. my top 5 will be 1. origins. 2. black flag. 3. syndicate 4. odyssey. 5. brotherhood. thats my take away from all of your videos thank you alot for the comparison videos you being an connoisseur on the franchise has definitely made things easier.
Mirage is currently my favourite ac game of all time due to gameplay and setting also the history and culture
Same here buddy been playing it tonight on Xbox and I’m still blown away with the graphics of Baghdad enjoying it so fare origins was good too I played straight as it first released but I find mirage better that Ac 1 feeling both good games
I like Mirage. But Origins, is amazing. One of my top 3.
Both amazing in different ways, It’s very difficult for me to compare the two
I love both, it's hard to choose as both games go for different things. Maybe I prefer Origins a bit more because of story and Bayek (as I like him more than Basim) but Mirage is also amazing.
If these games were combined it would literally be my dream AC game.. the world and story of Origins with the stealth of Mirage would be crazy and the parkour from Unity would be a big plus
My biggest gripe with Origins is the continuity of the Assassins being tossed aside just so they could make well known historical figures be the antagonists of the game. It was stated in the 4th game that the Assassins existed for "thousands of years" in the year 1512 AD. Ubisoft decided to scrap that for less than 1600 years prior. They could have gone back another 2,000 years and still had an Egyptian setting, but in the end it was more important to splash in a big name than stay accurate to the lore, which they then butchered further by making Odyssey predate the "origin" game that was immediately before it.
Origins has better characters and a better plot, but the lack of care for lore in favor of recognition, teeth pulling level system and upgrades, as well as the super fantastical elements that have no base in the game universe lore just destroy it's reputation in my eyes, and I would much rather play Mirage, even with the glaring flaws that it has, because of that true Assassin's Creed experience that has seldomly been seen since the Desmond Miles era.
I just started playing Origins and I am loving it! It definitely took influence from Dark Souls with the combat, but still has the feel of a stealth/assassin game. Egypt looks amazing, too!
*_"It definitely took influence from Dark Souls with the combat"_*
ha!ha!ha!ha!ha! What a dumb comment! ha!ha!ha!ha!ha! ha!ha!ha!ha!ha! 🤣
@@Jake-mn1qcshut up jake
hopefully they make a dlc for mirage with basim training hytham in constantinople (only a small part of it) i would love for the hook blade to be reintroduced and it would also speed up the swinging animation and make the zip line make more sense and also open up new possibilities for assassination animations along with being able to sweep guards legs and they could make Constantinople have a lot more guards and forts adding new enemy types that chase u whilst doing parkour and guards setting up roadblocks etc (would love to see the maturer eviler basim)
Ngl I couldn’t get into Mirage even though I really wanted to. I stopped after the first black box mission. I think the game would be much better if it was built upon origins framework rather than Valhalla. But I’m glad ppl like it so we might see more og styled games.
Did you see the new gameplay showcase of AC Nexus? It looks good! Also yeah I prefer Mirage as well even though I love Origins I just can’t go back to upgrading my hidden blade and xp based progression.
'The start clothes of Arno and Basim are very similar' were my thoughts after seeing Basim.
Ohh boy a new ac dropped time to do videos comparing it to every other game (its my favorite kind of videos on this channel)
Make stealth the focus in future games but beef up direct combat also
u should compare mirage and ac1. i recently beat the first game for the first time after completing mirage. they are both very good and suprisingly similar in my opinion. ac1 is obviously held back by things like graphics and animations and even the lack of story but through all that i felt like the first game held up extremely well and encapsulates the feeling and simplicity of being an assassin much better. i personally found altair wayy cooler and i liked the dullness and darkness of the world(even though its always day:/). parkour was super similar to me as well but being able to eject and stuff made 1's feel better. combat was better, i liked having kill animations for the sword, dagger, and hidden blade, and them all being different in skill to pull off a counter kill.
Before I even watch the video I wanna say the better game is Origins.. by a long shot
Mirage’s music reminds me so much of Origins as well
Origins is stunning the fact Ubisoft made that game and delivered an amazing story with a massive world which yes can get repetitive but playing it for your first time you’d most likely love it. The protagonist bayek is for me the most unique with his show of emotions and dedication to for fill his revenge story and it shows throughout the game and especially the start with the knife in the mask scene. Personally after not even playing mirage yet, I’ve seen so much gameplay and I definitely agree with animations and the speed for parkour but then again this game is new and of origins had a massive update with changes like that it would be the best AC game but it’s understandable why their focus was the rpg at the time. As this is in my top 3 favourite AC games with black flag and AC Unity up there, all have different reasons on being up there I think AC Unity would of been the best AC game if it came out in this date but the rpg games it’s definitely AC origins for now but let’s see what Code Red brings cause I’m very excited for it as long as it’s not like Valhalla.
And Syndicate was a " semi rpg ", it did have rpg elements sort of ,but it wasn't an rpg or either close to an rpg even with its " leveling system "
they should keep the bird. not really for stealth stuff.if it can attack like in odyssey well thats goo too but i mean sometimes watching these entire cities from up high man makes my jaw drop many many many times. they should keep it i mean you can play without using it but for exploration of the city landscape etc its soooo damn good. i mean sometimes i play other games that have beautiful worlds to and i forget im not playing AC and i try to get the bird up to see the landscape. they should keep it
I think the fact that people are arguing which game is better is a good thing. It keep discourse going and gives the fanbase differing opinions and perspectives. It helps make it less of an echo chamber, and I think that’s a good thing overall.
I only played 5 hours of mirage. And went back and started a new game in origins. And having a blast. I don't know I couldn't get into mirage.
Same. I think it’s the cutscenes that put me off. And ig the gameplay isn’t as fun as I thought it’d be.
Let’s not forget that Mirage is also a much shorter game. I enjoy origins but it’s pretty long. After experiencing how crazy long Valhalla was, I really appreciated reaching the ending of Mirage.
A sense of completion is always nice.
I would like a video where you discuss the skill of Basim against the other assassin's, like is Basim better than Jacob Frye or maybe even better than Arno.
That’s a very interesting concept I actually think about a lot. I feel like I’m terms of strength and without the bs gods, Bayek might be stronger then Connor, but skill wise, I couldn’t see him surviving an assassin from Blacl flag and earlier as all of them are easily more skilled fighters who utilize stealth in a far more advanced sophisticated way. But he is more skilled then the Frye twins and Arno, and without powers, he beats eivor and the misthios
He needs to make another video on the AC Nexus stuff goin' on rn. There's a bunch of previews and different dev log type things that are very interesting. Plus from all the videos I have seen it seems as though the game will be around 15+ hours long which is very intriguing.
SPOILER!!!!!
This might be off topic but when Loki merged with basim it’s not like basim is gone it’s more like you put a strawberry and a banana in a blender. I was confused about the ending hopefully this helps people who also didn’t understand.
Bruh are you serious 😐 this is the biggest spoiler I’ve gotten so far and I didn’t even open the comments section to see it. PLEASE delete this dude
Origins assassination skills are underrated imo, it takes time to unlock and learn them but the skill ceiling is higher than it seems but it's very rewarding when you use them together.
I just finished mirrage and I loved it but I don't know which one I loved more probably equally
This is pretty hard, but I honestly got to go with mirage. Baghdad is so nice, I love the outfits and Easter eggs, and everything. My favorite thing to do is use the Altair outfit and turn on the AC1 color filter. Only complaint is I wish there was more content.
They are pretty different games, ones an RPG and the second one is a classic AC, so a comparison between this two is difficult. They are different experiences but personally I liked Mirage more
Both are awesome im currently playing through mirage but origins is amazing, love the story and characters and a good entrance into the AC RPG stuff
Origins is so much better.
13:37 I actually didn’t mind Assassins Focus but the one thing they should have tweaked is if the targets were close enough in arms reach they should have done better animations for the assassinations instead seemingly walking up to each enemy for an abdomen stab.
Origins does have a sprint input, you just have to use the analog stick to control walking-running speed.
I love both games. Origins was best story-wise (and I’m partial to RPGs). BUT Origins and Mirage are very similar in some ways. While I love Origins for the setting, Bayek’s story and how the missions connected to his character arc, the scale and the slight touches of RPG (smaller skill tree and the need to upgrade your hidden blade), I’m loving the parkour-friendliness of Baghdad. The notoriety system is great! The assassin tools and focus on stealth is awesome (and the controls aren’t clunky like they were in Unity.) Loved the addition of marksmen that threaten Enkidu (eagle’s not so OP anymore! Adds to the danger). The black box assassination missions are awesome in Mirage and the Assassin contracts are pretty fun!
In some ways, I feel Mirage is sort of building off of Origins moreso than Valhalla. I would love a similar RPG-style game that took the story and great scale of Origins and blended it with some of Mirage’s mechanics (like contracts, tools, marksmen against eagle, the stealth…).
The origins soundtrack is just amazing, the story and stuff, I like both gameplay styles both classic and rpg
I miss the old school mechanics of assassins creed, as much as I love the rpg aspect I hate having to get new weapons and gear of a higher level just to kill enemy's especially when it comes to the hidden blades like origins having to keep upgrading it, mirage was a great game for giving me what I missed from the old games.
Origins is one of the best game of all time! Whenever I hear Bayek's voice I get goosebumps, that shows how phenomenal of a character he is. Origins will always be my favorite AC, as I haven't played Mirage yet waiting for it to come on Steam.❤️🔥
ac origins menu theme is soooooooo good
Mercenaries are just too easy to kill in Mirage, but the game play and story is the thing here.
Story I'd say goes to Origins, holy crap its good, and Bayek's back story? Amazing.
Game play goes to Mirage, it just feels like home again (By that I mean like the older games), the parkour is incredible and is even more useful for dense areas like cities, which is why Mirage is fourth place in parkour for me, the other three being the Ezio Collection.
I like Mirage more than Origins.
Origins is still one of the highest on my list, but after replaying Syndicate and Unity this year.. Mirage just doesn't quite cut it for me - Baghdad looks drop dead gorgeous tho
I think Origins is the better story but Mirage is the better game. The fact that you don’t have to grind to progress thru the story or upgrade the hidden blade makes the gameplay so much more enjoyable. I love the first two rpg games but the leveling systems were horrible in Origins (idk why but Odyssey didn’t have the same leveling issue for me).
I personally think the elite guards are a little over hyped when it comes to their difficulties. I think they’re easier than Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins and just a little harder than AC 3’s or just as hard when facing a few of those enemies at a time as long as you have throwing knives with poison, or traps, or could probably even just throw your touch on them a couple times, smoke bombs are also okay, or if you lead them to explosive pots they seem to die as easy as any other guard. Because originally I was too scared of them to even fight them where I just hired mercenaries when I was at full notoriety to help me, but then I realized just throwing two traps in a row and then just finishing them off was super easy, or just mixing a trap with a knifes or knives with smoke bombs easy enough to get them out super quickly. I get maybe only fighting up close might be hard but just rolling away and using your tools in combat makes fighting them super easy just like using tools in any scenario.
I wish they added the open world encounters in mirage like in unity!
"imma keep it spoiler free" also "Bayek's son dies" 😂
I am an old school AC fan, after playing Mirage I re-visited Origins again, my-oh-my Origins in 2023 feels like a game came yesterday and Origins is soooo much soo much better than Mirage, atleast for me it felt like that. I could feel the love and passion the ubisoft poured on origins while playing it, the combat the stealth and most importantly the jaw-dropping story was so amazing. For the first time in my gaming years playing a game for the third time felt like playing a whole new game.! Origins is simply astonishing.
I love both very very much. Even when I hated the RPG’s but origins stook out because of bayek and was actually my first Assassin Creed game. However mirage felt more stealthy I supposed.And as stealth player myself I obviously loved mirage more it gave me the break I needed after the RPGS not only because of stealth. However that wont stop me from playing origins because I love it not only that I have so many hours in origins. Going on in about 1000 hours. Thanks for reading
Basim’s Creeds contracts are the best feature in the game. Doing hits on people makes you an assassin. RPG games side quests are better for exploration
22:33 Agree. Aya was a great sub-protagonist.
In the story, Bayek is a character who is relatively lacking in political aspects, not only because he has a relative lack of connection to politicians, but also because he does not trust politicians.
(Like Connor Kenway in AC3 or Jin Sakai in GoT, Bayek is a kind of people's fighter.
It would have been strange if Bayek, who had no connection with Rome, had assassinated Caesar.)
The character that compensates for these shortcomings is Aya.
Of course, Bayek also had his own creed and sense of purpose, and was a character who was much more involved with the people than Aya, and he awakened Aya from her blind loyalty to Cleopatra.
As married couple characters and main/sub protagonists, Bayek and Aya are characters who complement each other's shortcomings.
I really want to see a sequel to Bayek/Aya.
I can't decide I love both games and their characters, music, and setting ( unrelated but what's that song that plays in the fist 6 mins?)
Bayeks the real founder he came up with the name the idea and there symbol it would’ve been great if we got a bayek trilogy from Egypt to Rome and Greece
AC 2 vs Mirage
(we need this)
I love both games a lot, AC2 is my first game and i love how that was and not like an RPG and mirage is like that and i hope basim gets a second game mirage has a great story and basim is a really great character and so is bayek, i personally like mirage more because of how it is not an rpg for the most part so that’s why it’s my favorite newer game
