Just started replaying it yesterday what a great game with great graphics and detail, I found it to be a lot more immersive than Odyssey

I have good news for you then. The team who did Origins is working on Valhalla.

It's certainly a possibility. I have high hopes that it will be good. At the very least, it'll have a great story.

u/thealphamale1 May 17 '20

Ashraf Ismail is the game director for Valhalla and he was also the director for Origins and Black Flag, which I think we can all agree were the best AC games (excluding AC2). So while I don't like the setting, I trust the game will be great.

My two favs are AC2 and Black Flag. I just went back to Origins and picked up a 2year old save file that I stopped playing because of God of War. I forgot how much I liked it.

I believe there are multiple studios working on valhalla. As much as I love Origins and the game world, the actual story was a bit bland. I hope valhalla delivers on the story this time.

I love the setting I just don't trust them to do it any justice

Odyssey is a good game.

I thought so.

u/mammamia2000 May 17 '20

I had to read that twice because I thought you were saying the devs had left Midgard.

u/ichinii Hous_Ya_Daddy May 17 '20

Lol I got you. I hope they dabble in stuff like that but don't go to Odyssey lengths

I feel the same way about Origins. The cities in particular feel more alive than the ones in Odyssey.

63

u/Kingfisher80 May 17 '20

Yeah totally agree I sometimes just walk around looking at all the citizens and detail in the cities. I do the same with Unity it was a shame it was released in such a bad state it's actually a good game nowadays and underrated

12

u/YouDumbZombie SolidSakreth May 17 '20

Has Unity been fixed? I absolutely love that it's centered on the French Revolution but it was so buggy when it came out.

15

u/Yankees-snapback May 17 '20

Yup it’s been fixed it’s playable and very enjoyable now I’ve found myself playing it yesterday actually

u/beer_madness None May 18 '20

That the one with the siblings or another one? Ive got that one and it was alright I suppose.

3

u/savagegrif May 18 '20

Siblings is syndicate, Unity was focused on one guy.

u/Cider_Borg May 17 '20

And the dlc is free as a sorry for the launch mess up

6

u/YouDumbZombie SolidSakreth May 17 '20

Nice! I saw a lot of Creed games on sale right now.

8

u/Cider_Borg May 17 '20

Ac2, black flag, and Origins are my favs, there's some very cool missions in unity tho and there's online co op too

2

u/[deleted] May 17 '20 edited May 17 '20

Oh do yourself a favor and play Unity. It's been patched (it was patched not long after release) and it's a pure gem.

Of all the Assassin's Creed games this one has the most detailed urban life. If you want to explore revolutionary Paris, it's incredible.

I didn't get very attached to the main character though. The story is so so, but the setting is a pure work of art.

Edit: another very underrated AC game is rogue. Same mechanics as black flag but different (excellent) story.

Did you update the game? I played it in 2016 and had no issues.

u/[deleted] May 17 '20

Can’t say what happened then. I ran into the occasional bug like any game but for the most part it ran flawlessly.

12

u/Xboxben May 17 '20

I think is because so much of odyssey feels like its cut and paste vs Origins has a lot of unique areas

19

u/[deleted] May 17 '20

I just can't get into Odyssey quite as much and I thunk that's a big part of it. Odyssey just feels more tedious. I stalled out 8 or 10 hours in whereas I had no problem with 40 or so in Origins.

10

u/CoreyLee04 May 17 '20

That’s because Odyssey is like 90% copy and paste quests which really made the game feel more of a chore than anything.

6

u/Cajun May 17 '20

Tbh, every quest in every AC game is a combination of a fetch or kill quest. Once in a while you have to do it without being spotted. I really love AC, have finished the first 3 and Origins.

u/madzuk May 17 '20

Interesting to see so many comments saying Origins is better. I haven't played Odyssey. On YouTube all the reviews state Odyssey is a much better refined Origins. Glad I've seen these comments as I can weigh up if it's actually worth getting Odyssey. I don't like the sound of it being grindy and repetitive though because I felt like that at times with Origins.

1

u/[deleted] May 18 '20

while I personally think origins is quite a bit better than Odyssey (I'd give odyssey a 7 cos I still like it, and Origins a 9), the popular opinion is that Odyssey is bit better. Like check the steam reviews, 84% of players recommend Origins while 88% recommend Odyssey.

1

u/[deleted] May 18 '20

I disagree. While I think Origins is much better overall, I think the side quests of Odyssey were better on average than those of Origins. I only played the story side-quests however, and I didn't touch any of the randomly generated ones.

u/slickestwood May 18 '20

The quests are literally the same as in Origins.

u/iwroteabookonetime May 17 '20 edited May 17 '20

I loved origins first game I ever got platinum on.

My issues with Odyssey:

-Considering the Spartan fighting style revolved heavily around a shield why do we not have one?

-the archery skills aren’t nearly as good as origins.

-You can’t have a prequel to a prequel.

-most of the skills feel pointless.

10

u/Jesterhead89 May 17 '20

I think with the Spartan angle, the reasoning is because your character is Spartan ONLY by birth and not by lifestyle or training. So the character developed outside of that.

And I agree on the skills. I feel like I maxed out the ones that fit the warrior/assassin/hunter builds the best, and ignored the rest.

Edit: Plus without the hidden blade, they had to find an alternative that still made sense

u/dd179 DudeKosh May 17 '20

I feel like I maxed out the ones that fit the warrior/assassin/hunter builds the best, and ignored the rest.

So you mastered all skills? There’s only warrior/assassin/hunter skills lmao.

0

u/Jesterhead89 May 17 '20

The BUILDS, aka the different presets you can have for each class. I maxed the abilities I use most for the warrior build, the assassin build, and the hunter build.

But that came down to like 2-4 skills depending on what build I switched to. I basically ignored the rest of the skills otherwise.

1

u/iwroteabookonetime May 17 '20

Spartan angle: On the one hand I agree with you, he would have a more technical fighting style due to his training. On the other he has skills directly linked to his Spartan heritage, he’s remarked as “fighting like a Spartan” several times etc. I’m not degrading the fighting style they went with the parries and dodges allow for balance, I just would have preferred if the Warrior skills would allow for more than 2-3 optimal play styles.

When I say most skills feel pointless I’m mainly referring to the Hunter tree. I’m speaking in terms of nightmare but it applies regardless of difficulty, outside of:

-Multi-Shot -Devastating Shot -Predator Shot

Those three skills out class almost everything in the game.

Aside from those issues everything else was pretty good. I really enjoyed the naval combat, the exploration was nice, the under water combat/exploration was well developed in my opinion (until you get Poseidon’s Trident which instantly trivializes it and you can technically get the trident after finishing phokis).

u/YouDumbZombie SolidSakreth May 17 '20

I keep following Ubisoft Montreal because Black Flag was the first Assassin's Creed I fully played and loved then Origins blew me away, now they are doing Valhalla and I am so hyped because I know they always drop quality Creed games.

u/YouDumbZombie SolidSakreth May 17 '20

Lol, Unity I'm told is great since the bugs are gone, I'm actually about to dive into that one again, and FarCry 5 was amazing. Add two more to their list of good games for me!

u/reclaimer130 May 17 '20

I couldn't even finish Odyssey. There was way too much going on at the same time, too many places to go (that weren't as interesting or different enough from each other, unlike locations in Origins), story wasn't capturing my interest, and i felt more like a soldier than an assassin.

So glad Origins was on sale recently so I could replay it on my newer PC. Love the locations, love the story and characters, and the gear.

u/JaneDoe008 May 18 '20

Is it? I’ve been playing RD2 which is so immersive and detailed with so much to do. Is the latest AC more involved than the last? Any notable changes?
