This is an excellent game on the pc. Why did you lie to me, Yas Forums? This game truly scratched my RPG itch.
I have fully patched the game and I have all the DLCs. I play a stealthy assassin style with some warrior mixed in. Clearing out an entire location full of polemarch's, captains, thugs, loot chests, and other hidden goodies, assassinating everyone and stealing all the loot without ever being noticed that you were there is so satisfying and truly exhilarating.
I play on full ultra settings in 1440p resolution on a 144hz monitor and I get between 70 and 110 frames per second depending on the location. The game never feels slow or sluggish. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
Why the hate for this game, Yas Forums? I don't get it. Is the hate just a console thing?
Game is great and extremely cozy. Never felt bored with the huge Greek world to explore. Loved it and lasted me almost two full weeks when I had the flu last year playing all day

I recently played it and loved it. Spent 80 hours on it. The Atlantis dlc is brilliant.
Zachary Smith
I really like it but I've gotten to a point where the XP bullshit is really ruining my fun.
Parker Thomas
Contracts. With gold XP rewards. They are easy and give you a SHIT load more XP than side quests.
I almost gave up when the next story mission level was like 10 levels above mine, but then I started doing the contracts and I got there in no time.

>so many ass creed threads all of a sudden >all of them praising Odyssey call me schizo but this is pretty suspicious
No, I'm just thinking that AC might get an announcement soon.
Elijah James
Pretty good game, though the story is a bit on the cheesy side, which I can stomach. I always happen to get bored pretty fast playing any AC game, like 20 hours in. It's probably just me, I dunno.
Adam Bailey
It is not an RPG.

i put about 100 hours or so into the game myself(thanks uplay+ for the free fucking MONTH trial) and really the biggest thing i can pull from the game is that i dont think they really need to rely on the assassins creed name if they want to make this kinda game instead of the more pre-origins stuff. like there really could be room for both types imo and ubisoft is a big company with 10,000+ little chinese worker hands or whatever so why not both really uh anyway i didnt really hate the game myself either but i do recognize some of the more time sink elements the game had. its definitely bloated with quests that ultimately dont matter and you can easily spend hours on them for better or worse(its weird because you may land on some side quest thats actually somewhat interesting but unfortunately 9 times out of 10 i never found that the case which is shitty for someone more dedicated than even myself who wants to push through and see if any of them ever go anywhere) the DLCs are definitely where the game picks up, cuts off a lot of the unnecessary fat the base game had and just about every quest i walked into had my attention. its technically apart of the main quest but i did like seeing and deciding the fates of some of the characters in the hades dlc that died in the base game

It’s strange, I normally hate open world games that are built around the checklist but I’m such a fucking antiquityboo with a special hard-on for desert aesthetics that I loved Origins. Bayek was also based. I should play Odyssey eventually, though I’m not a fan of the forced level scaling
Brody Sanders
I got the base game for free and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It was just a nice adventure If the rumors about a viking setting in the next one are true then I'm in
Jose Rodriguez
I’m just glad that they moved away from the early-middle modern settings. I just can’t give a shit about Victorian England.
Evan Gray
As far as modern action rpg open world games go, Odyssey was pretty fucking fun and comfy. I liked Origins too, the desert setting reminded me of Beastmaster. Loved all the improvements made to Odyssey and the return of sailing. Loved how easy it was to pace back and forth from stealth to warrior back to stealth and so on, really made you feel like an apex predator. It felt like you are playing your own Greek Myth and i loved taking as many assassination contracts as possible. Soldiers, generals, politicians, priests, no one was safe from my blades.
Hope the Viking rumors are true and I hope they ramp up the RPG aspect and keep the sailing and let you raid and pillage and take slaves and shit. At this point they may as well drop the modern day shit and just go with making really fun ARPGs in really expansive settings from antiquity.

>the side quest where the old man begs you to fuck his insatiable GILF wife >you fuck her for 12 hours non-stop
Maybe according to your definition of an RPG. With Odyssey, you can play as a shadow assassin, or you can play as a brawler, or you can play as a ranged hunter, and you can level up those categories as you see fit. Also, it's an open world game. You can just go off on your own in any direction and explore and search for hidden treasures whose discover awards an ability point, or you can build up your ship, take to the seas and gain wealth by being a pirate and develop the traits that improve this, or you can follow the quest system and do side quests, or you can travel the world hunting down members of the cult, or you can look for contract work that pays really well, and so on. You can choose to employ poison or fire in your combat and develop those traits. You can be a cold-hearted mercenary and slaughter everything and anything in order to gain XP and gold and other loot, or you can choose to be loyal to one group or another. You can choose armor and weapons that apply buffs to assassin skill damage or poison damage or speed while crouching, and any number of things to suit your style of gameplay. You can level-up upgrade those weapons and armor to apply across-the-board improvements directly, you can apply engravings to weapons and armor to apply a specific buff. You can choose to accomplish tasks whose completion awards you by unlocking engravings or buffs or such.
It certainly seems to me that Odyssey is very much an RPG.
I have it on PC, spent already over 100 hours finishing all side quests, I just got to Atlantis, I know it sounds strange but it's probably one of the best game I've played in the last few years. Never played an AC game before.
Nicholas Reyes
In 10 hours you'll have experienced everything the game has to offer. Any more hours past that will be dedicated to repeating what you've already done.
Parker Brooks
There's supposed to be a viking game coming out
William Wood
Definitely not, in terms of gameplay it has plenty of new abilities and even a mastery system for end game. In terms of story there's just a pletora of things to do.
Noah Taylor
>you can explore and use different kinds of weapons with that logic, pretty much every video game in existance is an rpg. is call of duty online an rpg because you get to design a loadout? is forza an rpg because you can equip your car with shit and minmax it? Why would you shill so hard for a bad game made by a greedy company, who basically rehashes the same boring open world since the last 10 years?
>hand in all the mythical beast items at once >locks me out of the romance with the Huntress FUCK
Austin Hernandez
That's pretty much every game tho
Carson Bennett
why does this webm look so disturbing. is this supposed to be a cockroach wearing a human skinsuit?
Christopher Walker
When it comes to greedy companies that rehash their games, there are far worse offenders, also they do rehash their mechanics, not their open world which is the one thing that is consistently praised whether you like the game or not.
Anthony Bell
>same boring open world cookie cutter crap for the last decade
While true, im curious why this formula works better in some of their games than it does in others. I enjoyed their generic cookie cutter open world systems in Odyssey, Origins and Wildlands, and Farcry 3, but didnt enjoy pretty much the same formula in Division 2, Breakpoint or the early AC games, the only one i liked being the meme pirate game.
Adrian Ward
Am I on neo-Yas Forums again?
Evan Stewart
>go to this location and kill everyone there >repeat 100 times >go to that location and do specific shit there >repeat 100 times the summary of every single ubisoft open world game. literally no challenge or thinking required on any quest. the games are designed like MMOs, where you chase some quest marker in hopes for nice loot. but you never find nice loot. you just keep going, and going, and hope that you will finally find something worthwhile, but after hours of playing, you will find that you got blinded by trailer, graphics and design, and got tricked into playing a questgrinder, a non-game pseudo-mmo, which is soon to be forgotten on the endless heap of ubisoft interactive map simulators. I do not care who is the worst offender. I do care about the death of every big video game company tho, who are responsible for fueling consoomers like you.
Isaiah Reyes
It was on a sale not that long ago. People are finally playing it despite reading on Yas Forums that it's shit. Turns out it's not that bad. What a surprise.
Assassin's Creed has shit gameplay and you're a total idiot if you can't see that.
Adrian Reed
this is a good post
Carter Cook
It really does. Still like it, though.
Adrian Cook
Imagine listening to Yas Forums. Like, half of the people here are troglodites. The other half has kinda good taste, and the half of the "good taste half" has real kino taste.
Christopher King
>make a branching story >only one of the choices actually makes sense at every branch Wasn't it great that my father somehow quit his job and went into exile just because he met his son. That totally made sense
Brody Phillips
Yas Forums is a shit board yet you keep posting on it.
Grayson Morris
>I play on full ultra settings in 1440p resolution on a 144hz monitor and I get between 70 and 110 frames per second Nah, post speccy with your 2080ti or this isnt true.
Adam Diaz
Is this your first nu-Ubishit game? I hope so.
Bentley Scott
It's fun until it's not.I loved the game, till the 50hour mark. I just quit and never looked back. Its just to fucking long, and the gampeplay loop is not deep enough to warrend such length
Ryder Wright
People in this thread have no taste in games and this is a good post.
Justin Lewis
>this is an excellent game
Imagine having absolute zero standards and taste and thinking that annual slob Ubitrash cooks up is "excellent". Dios mio.
i did all things on map but halfway trough i got hardcore burned out, such a shame as i was heavily enjoyed the game but it just got too mind numbing doing it all, dunno why they have to pad so much shit out, i hated the game by the end of it that i didnt even do any dlc.. if they kept completables at an acceptable rate it would have been way better
Nicholas Taylor
Weak. 4/10 If not bait consider suicide.
Landon Watson
NOOOOOOO NOT MY PRINCERINO
Alexander Peterson
Sands of Time was 4 years old when Assassin's Creed came out. Assassin's Creed came out 13 years ago. I'll dab on your grave grandpa.
Is this good on Xbox One X or should I get AC Origins? Already own both games on PS4 and PC but I want to try it in 4K.
Camden Foster
I don't play AC games because I know they're repetitive, but saying the open world is rehashed when it's the only thing that differs from one game to the other is wrong.
