So this video took me around about 3 days to complete (hence the reason why I haven't been uploading over the past few days) and I hope you guys enjoy it! The video contains major spoilers for Assassin's Creed Origins so if you haven't completed it, then I recommend coming back when you've finished the game. It would be greatly appreciated if you guys dropped a like and shared it if you can! Thanks so much for all your support and I've got some more videos coming out today!
LongEaredFox Thank you for waiting till you were done with the game to give it a review. If we had more people like you Fox the gaming world would be a much better and *HONEST* place.
The Stealth system does in fact work. By no means is it forgiving, but it is actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. Here’s a list of tips, some are very obvious, but will be listed regardless. Is long but all are useful. Don’t like, don’t read, simple as that. So here... 1) Use the crouch ability 2) Use Senu (spelling) to scout areas out and tag enemies 3) Stick to the rooftops 4) Upgrade and Use hidden blade 5) Use bows 6)Use the dusk and dawn ability to go in at night. It gives you a small advantage, but not huge. Enemies will be asleep, so U know where they r, and it’s a quick and easy stealth way to kill many people.Also, the stereotypicalness of it makes it more fun and makes u more “devoted” to successfully perform stealth, and because of that you won’t get AS frustrated 7) Go slow, but not too slow. If u r in crouch mode, going different speeds doesn’t affect u being detected. However, don’t rush into situations. Take ur time 8) Plan. Use senu to try and plan out a path through said area, and try to make a path near anything that can be hidden in. Avoid open areas 9) Learn to improvise. Stealth almost never goes according to plan, so when sh*t hits the fan, just make a new path and plan as u go 10) look where u are going to be, not where you are. Whilst running on the rooftops, look ahead and try to avoid Areas with no “quick” outs. 11) Expect the worse, and ull never be disappointed. Plan for things to go wrong, and ull be more level-headed when things go bad, giving u a better chance of making a quick and efficient get away 12) when detected, don’t give up. Learn to run from a fight. Let the enemies get close, then drop a smoke bomb so no one can see, then dip on out of there 13) Get the “chain assassination” skill. the other person u r trying to kill will 9 times outta 10 detect u, but when u hit em with that throwing knife, they die, and u have no issues. If used in a large crowd of enemies, expect to fight 14.a) Get the “Adrenaline 2” skill. U will always start a conflict with a full adrenaline bar, so when detected from across the room, u can perform an instant kill. 14.b) Get the “Overpower Chain Throw” skill. When in the situation from 14 a, but with 2 people, u can use this to kill the other person 15)The bow is the only “tool” ull need. The other tools can make ur stealth run sloppy an end up f’in u over in more ways than can be listed here. U want to kill, and do it as fast as possible. Pretend ur Fizhy 16)avoid fire weapons. Whether it be a bow, sword, or bomb, other stuff can light on fire. While this can be used as an advantage, if u rnt “light on ur toes”nor already planning for it, u can easily get screwed over 17) hide bodies. Avoids unwanted attention 18)go under water. If water is nearby, and u need a quick get-away, drop a smoke near the shore, dive in, and plunge. Start swimming away and the line of sight will easily be broken. Get as far away under water as u can, then recoup and give it another go 19) Let yourself be killed. When detected an du see no way out of it, just stand there and let ur self be killed. Then do ur prep work again, plan around the mistakes u made (not just the ones that caused u to get caught), and give it another go. It may get tedious, but this gets u really good at stealth really fast 20) always think of ways to do what u just did better. Even if in a different place, doing this enough makes it pure instinct to avoid doing things that can mess u up. Doesn’t need to be hard things, it can be as simple as “ok, so that’s about how far bayek can jump and make it with no climbing” 21) PRACTICE!!! Don’t expect to be good instantly. Practice enough, and start off going slow, and without even thinking about it, u start going faster and doing much better. Maybe dedicate at 20-30 min vid of u practicing ur stealth. Talk enough and when u f up make it entertaining, and most will still enjoy 22) practice stealth while hunting. Animals are even harder to stealth around than people, so getting good around them will make going against humans much easier 23) pick an outfit u like. This uses the “look good, feel good” idea. If u like the way ur bayek looks, then u will automatically be more confident in ur skills in stealth, simply cuz bayek looks sexy af. Sounds dumb, but it’s true, try it 24) predator bows. These are literally made for stealth and r super powerful. Use em 25) Sabotage The braziers in camps. No need for extra enemies, that is unless u want a challenge... 26) FINAL TIP- Have fun. If u are too “serious” with your stealth runthrough, then it will get overly stressful and boring. Spice it up every once in a while, see how fu*ked u can get, then try and get ur self out of that situation as fast as possible, whilst killing NO ONE. Might get frustrating, and ur probs gonna die, but in the long run u get good at getting out of bad situations. So yeah, that’s my list of stealth tips. I’m not asking u to, but if anyone makes a vid on stealth tips and uses this list, just reference me in The vid so I get credit. I have no vids on my channel so I’m not lookin for subs or anything. Just want credit. Have fun with these
Lmao I'm depressed with the way my bayek looks cause I really want ezios outfit but ac origins is the only ac game I've properly played and I'm no where near 3000 uplay XP on it :(
NinjaSwag99 stealth in this game is boring, no aggressive stealth :( Here’s aggressive stealth in AC unity (the game with the best stealth in AC imo) m.ruclips.net/video/P2E205qdp3w/видео.html
NinjaSwag99 also if you snipe someone with a predator bow and there’s someone ride besides you, even if your 50m away they’ll still detect. Fucking ridiculous.
Much much smoother than previous games and its much better than most of the AC games, but come on, its ASSASSIN's creed! There is so much potential for good stealth, please focus on stealth Ubi!
Synfinitiv I'v gone through whole sections of the game without being even seen not once. I'm not sure how much more stealth you can ask for when I literally grim reaper Sprint without stopping or hiding in the bushes and kill 50 people un noticed.
Yup. I'm on my 2nd play through of the game. Did it first on Xbox, and now doing it on PC. My Xbox play through I did almost exclusively stealth. Took out all the biggest forts in the game without being seen once. You just have to be very cautious about making sure you've had Senu discover all the enemies, and then use the brush and other cover with the whistle. On my PC play though, I'm just going all out warfare and killing everyone in combat to switch it up, and it's a very different game this way. :-)
Bayek in one game has almost if not more depth than Ezio, I know some might be afraid to admit it but to say he has nowhere near as much depth is not true
besides the absence of social stealth I dont find a difference in stealth from previous ac games. you got your hiding in bushes and whistling. I just find the enemies are not autistic as previous ac games haha
Personally, I feel that in itself is a major change. However, I think we need to acknowledge the level design as well. While old AC games were supposed to be stealth based, there were many times, level design dictated against that concept. Often you'd have no way of approaching the next target(s) without completely exposing yourself to many others at the same time, hence, ruining that mechanic. Here however, not only do most places have multiple paths to attack from, but the layout of cover is organic, and lends so well to being able to take out entire military camps without getting spotted once. I feel like not enough people realize this, but I'm glad the team went to such lengths to refine this core mechanic.
In order to enjoy the stealth in this game I feel like you have to really wanna be stealthy. It's not easy if you just go into a fort and are like oh I wanna be stealthy this time. You have to really work for it. I personally use a stealthy approach with my playstyle. Some things to keep in mind if you want to enjoy the stealth more in this game. 1. tag everything with senu. I mean everything. Every single guard and loot that is in the area. This will help you plan your attack. 2. Day and night is key. Before I go into a fort I will check to see what everyone does during the day and at night and decide which one would make it easier for me to go undetected. 3. Keep an eye out for hidden entrances. These make it much easier for you to sneak in and take out the enemies you want while avoiding almost everyone else. 4. kill and run. After I have tagged everything and figured out my path, I immediately go in and kill the captain's and commanders. I see where they are and that is my starting point. Once I have killed them and taken all the treasure I run. classic ac1. kill the target and escape. 5. always sabotage the brasier. If you want to be stealthy less enemies is key if you get detected. These are just a few things. Like you said the stealth in this game is not easy at all. You really have to commit yourself to being stealthy. It's hard but very satisfying when you take out a big fort efficiently without being detected.
I completely agree with everything, except for the stealth part. I completed the game on normal and hard mode now and I completed them both in a stealthy playstyle. I completely understand your point of view, but I think the most important aspect of the stealth system is that you really need to be patient when observing all of the guards. So if you are prepared to put a lot of time in taking down everyone in a fortress without being noticed, it is reeeeeaally easy :p But I loved the review man! I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future of the franchise.
I actually think the stealth is good, if you're quite far away they'll give you a chance to get away and hide and stay undetected, but if you, like in the clip you showed, just walk up right under their noses they'll obviously see you
Actually it’s the same actor for William Miles, he just sounds a bit different. Possibly because he’s older? Or didn’t give a shit since he had like, 15 lines. Great review, keep up the good work.
Before AC Origins I have never played open world games EXCEPT Zelda: Breath of the wild. After I played through AC Origins and realize how good open world games are when they are done right. As I said I played through Zelda BOTW but I didn't get the open world rush. So what did I do after I played AC Origins 80 hours+? I bought Horizon and Witcher 3 ^^ Rip my wallet.
The story I liked but the end I didn't like cause I feel like it just forces the ending and the start of the creed on you and it also feels like they just leave it off like a major cliff hanger and doesn't really give a satisfying ending. But I do get they do that they do that to start off the next game. Plus Bayek and Aya's last scene with the skull forming the symbol I though was very well done.
Dayton Wilson I liked the whole Aya becomes Amunet, better than I expected, I was expecting her to die. The symbol thing was well done, personally I feel like it's setting up a sequel with aya possibly, Probably Bayek
This is the best assassins creed origins review I’ve seen in my opinion. Good job George! For me the stealth is pretty intense and less forgiving than the other ac games, which I like, I would just want to have a more varied kill animation as it can become bland after a while.
For the combat system, especially overpower attacks I wish that if u kill the enemy with it, it does the normal animation. However if they don't die, instead of putting a sword through the body, how abt a little animation where they semi parry ur attack but take loads of dmg? Kinda like the combo finishers in AC2 and executions in Middle Earth.
The stealth could be better but it’s not that bad. You just have to be creative and definitely use Senu to your advantage before you enter a restricted area. You should also get the skill where when you click on an enemy using Senu you can see what their patrol is because this will help you plan out your attack. And you NEED to upgrade your hidden blade, quiver, and bows. Use tools and don’t be afraid to take risks. You could always just fight them if you get caught. I recommend using the predator now because it’s basically a silent sniper rifle. Hope this helped!
The stealth was fantastic and more realistic. You used it just fine multiple times in this video, like when u had to shoot the one guy, then hide behind a wall before his buddy got to you. Then you were still able to assassinate his buddy. Perfect marriage of stealth and combat that simply didnt work together in old ac's, where you were either 'in combat' or not. This is so much better, and you are able to mix stealth with combat/ranged combat.
Regarding the stealth system I personally use it as my main strategy, even though it definitely isn't the best, it seems to work most of the time and my main problem is when an enemy that I did Mark with Senu spots me
Fair play George you took your time in this vid, won’t watch it as I still haven’t played origins, I will leave you a like however my oldest and dearest friend :)
I frequently use stealth and I think the main problem is that you can have a plan on how to take everyone down but when it comes time to do that and someone sees you then you don’t have enough time to kill them how you planned without them initiating combat. At that point everyone’s just on you and you have to fight. Other than that it’s great
I really enjoyed the stealth system and enjoyed the challenge. It does take getting used to but it's quite satisfying going around and killing everyone without getting caught, it's almost like an extra achievement.
Tips for your stealth, go to a high difficulty base, scout out all their weak points, for example oil and where they sleep and best points to enter the base, scout out the signal fire, that's your first target, plan your moves all the time, I usually go round the walls where the archers are, killing them on my way to the signal fire and disposing of the bodies, once that is done you can go after the commanders and captains, if they spot you, back up won't know
I think that Senu is one of the best additions to the stealth mechanics. It really allows you to plan out the best way to approach an objective, so their aren't as much surprises, and you always know what to expect. It's extremely satisfying to wipe out an entire compound without being detected, especially with all the different ways to kill enemies. Throwing sleep darts in fires to incapacitate multiple enemies at once, using ballistas to finish off the final couple enemies, or lighting a tent on fire with people inside. The option for ranged combat also helps keeping stealth combat versatile and more fun. I do agree that detection time feels off and their's really no way to save yourself if you do get caught, but other than that I've had more fun with stealth in an AC games than in a long time.
I love Assassin's Creed: Origins and I love this new Assassin's Creed formula, and I'm very excited for the next Assassin's Creed game. This combat system, gear system, and open world design are all amazing and can fit into Medieval Europe, Feudal Japan, Ancient Rome, or anywhere and any when else. Speaking of a sequel, I'd love to see it set in Ancient Rome, largely because they already have a lot of the assets and a lot of the mechanics that I'd love to see again, including chariot racing, gladiatorial fights, naval combat, war elephants, and Phylakes.
I love the stealth in the game only because I tried making it realistic in other games for myself as a possibility and now I actually need to go whit a realistic approach, so I‘m kind‘of used to it, but I can understand why it could frustrate some people
I actually found the stealth to me not only more functional but more fun. I’d poison half an enemy fort, bow and stab the rest. Wait for the last straggler, set a trap on the brazier, make myself known, let him light it and kill himself. OR set loose caged animals or prisoners. And so on and so forth. Stealth was awesome.
I love the stealth. You just gotta mark everybody with Senu, and stay high. Being below enemies will get you spotted. Make sure to go around the perimeter before you head for the center. Never air assassinate unless you know if you will get spotted by nearby enemies.
What killed the stealth of Origins for me was the lack of a double assassination. Yes, I know chain assassination is a thing but it has much different functionality and takes a long time to execute, leaving you open to getting detected.
I use the stealth and my advise is as follows, senue is your best friend, tag all enemy’s, clime up walls to start at a higher vantage point, rely on guided arrows so strategically take out better/long range enemy’s, upgrade your hidden blade so that you maximize damage against higher level enemy’s, and keep a low profile, avoid getting near many guards, pick them off from behind cover. Flame bows with high damage against the bigger bad guys
When I first played I hated the melee combat. It felt janky, so I just decided to use the bow 90% of the time. But after awhile it starts to feel much better and definitely grows with you. Although I still think it can be more fluid. Especially when switching targot lock onto different enemies.
I've been a die-hard Assassin's Creed fan from the beginning. I got to say the combat and movement of this game are buttery smooth . Finally a combat system where you don't just sit there and Hack and Slash and have 300 bodies laying around you.
I know I'm like 2 years later but to add for anyone who may be looking to try this game the stealth system wasn't that bad. I played on the hardest difficulty since release and I felt that stealth was more so scouting out the area using senu and using their locations to find a path no so heavily patrolled. It definitely helps when your hidden blade isn't upgraded because it's not a guaranteed one hit kill. The predator bow is helpful in clearing out paths from a high vantage point and as you go only take on people in your way
I mostly use stealth. I love the challenge, yes it is annoying with the immediate detection but i love the realism plus you can headshot an enemy with bow in the little slowmotion that triggers after detection
I youse stealth a lot in assassin games what I do first is scope out the area it might take a little bit longer but scoping out the area gives you all the advantage to stealth it out
i liked poisoning enemies and how it would spread to whoever got close. i once saw it happen to like 7 guys in a row and i was just sitting in the bushes watching and waiting. i also love sicking preds on em but was having a hard time using fire to my advantage as it relies on placing and timing. one miscalculation and everythings thrown down the toilet. its easy and fun doing stealth in the dark and murdering guards in their sleep and walking out cleanly, no music playing, makes you feel like a boss. the predator bow i thought id never use but its so useful for stealth and so fun when you get head shots.
stealth only works properly if you use senu to scope out first.it is a great and handy skill to learn.it makes it possible to attack and destroy much higher opponents
The Stealth System relies on a Basic tactic. goin in from top to bottom. Clearing all the guards on walls etc with a bow or item for example a poisondart into a fireplace for multiple guards. assasinations are best for single guards and have to be completed from behind in oder to stay undetected. mark the enemys with senu to see them and the it should be easy to stay out of sight since all elevated Locations should be cleared, an you can climb anywhere without being spotted at the top or running into a random guard. crouching is best in bushes or high grass u can assasinate enemy and immediately hide the Body similar to the heycarts. u can clear entire bases without being spotted.
I love the stealth and I can honestly say the most fun I had playing this game was taking out the large (three spear level) enemy forts without even being noticed. I loved the bows and I think they played a large part in the stealth system. This is one of the few games that actually changes its play style based on what you have equipped.
I use stealth to complete camps. It's not that different from previous Assassin's Creed games but it does have new features that makes it more enjoyable and challenging. Since combat is more difficult then stealth had to be is well otherwise people would just use stealth. My main tips are Use Senu to tag all the enemies, it'll be easier to keep an eye out. If you're detected, smoke bomb and hide. Try to stay around the area of detection so that way you don't alert other guards. Fire is usually good on groups but since enemies can track you, you'd need to move or hide since it's not a instant kill but it does separate them so you can pick them off. I hope you take my advice and happy hunting. :)
I think the stealth was handled fine. I tend to use lots of stealth in the early gameplay. Usually I'll head up to a vantage point and scout for enemies position via Senu. Most of the times I'll do an air assassination. The stealth in bushes worked to my advantage to when I feel I need to dislodge a guard from his spot. The only thing I miss a lot is social stealth. There were so many situations where I wish I could opt for social stealth but the whole mechanism wasn't available in the game.
2 years later I was never really an ac fan i have played 1 syndicate and black flag but I recently bought this game over lockdown and it has got me hooked to the series
Stealth is really not that bad, if you get a lot more vantage points around the map it will increase senu (probably butchered that name) but it will increase his perception. So he can see better and before I go into a base I look at everything with him to find all the enemies. I’d also advise using sleep darts as in even if an enemy detects you, you can throw it and put them to sleep before they have enough time to alert the other guards. Also take the commander or captain fist. I’d advise upgrading your hidden blade way above your level gap so you can assassinate the at lot faster. Apposed to the stealth attack icon you get if ur hidden blade is not upgraded enough. Also take advantage of high ground. The boats for example have a lot to walk on up top so you can plan attacks better.
I've 100% the game after about 83 hours. I almost uninstalled the game after the first 2 hours because of how boring and uninspired the beginning was. Thank god I powered through because the rest of the game is awesome
I've used both stealth and combat in this game. and I find that the stealth is a lot of fun... You have to be patient and watch your enemies and plan your approaches.
I really agree with your opinion on the stealth system, I usually try to do the missions in a stealthy way, but with origins it makes it really difficult to do that...
I ended up using stealth basically the entire game. It starts of sort of hard but a good thing to do first is upgrade your hidden blade so you can instakill higher level people. Also stock up on arrows
I actually really love the stealth in AC Origins. Detection time may be overkill for some people, but I love the degree of realism and challenge it gives. The stealth in the game definitely makes you plan carefully, and using Senu if you want to go stealth is a must.
Just finished the main story. Some problems here and there, but I felt for Bayek. I nearly cried for him after killing the Scarab. Man, what a scene! Amazing game, and I intend on playing it again, perhaps when the first DLC/expansion: The Hidden Ones drops.
I stealthed through the whole game and was rarely caught. I do it by taking my time and making sure to compromise the beacon. I also take time to mark every enemy with senu. I also leave lots of bodies in the open and poison them. And finally I save the really hard boss for last once every enemy has been assassinated.
I have found that I haven't been detected right away. My playstyle is I would show myself for a second or two which they cause them to investigate what they saw which in turn allows me to lure them into an assassination. I do this on enemies who are a bit further than the whistle can reach. Though most of the time I forget to use the whistle and just do what I previously mentioned. Finally to answer your question I don't think the stealth system is bad, I kind of enjoyed it.
I like the potential of the modern day story. They have these Messages of the ones who came before in the tombs where they indicate the potential of the animus, tht it could do more than just show the past. And Layla´s goal was to build a better Animus. I can imagine that they go for that route in the next 2 games, before they aim for the"Miles-Family" Soryline again
Yeah man, they are going in the right direction, some things may need improvement but its definitely the right steps to reviving the series. I hope they can add in co-op soon maybe for the next game or after because this rpg system would be amazing for co-op missions or just exploring the world with friends.
great vid man, but in the matter of stealth, instant detection only happens when youre really close to the guard, hiding spots are actually in abundance in this game, especially in places where there is vegetation, i dont know why you said hiding spots arent much in this game, i usually take a more stealthy approach (embracing my assassin side) and yh from the outside it may look quite generic, but once you delve deep into it, it really grows on you, try raiding level 1 and 2 forts undetected first, and when you find yourself taking them on easily, then head on to the level 3 forts and try doing them undetected, synchronise with the viewpoints as much as possible as this would upgrade senus perception as well as his speed and how frequently he helps in combat. use senu to spot as much enemies as possible in the fort or any stealth scenario. as this would give you an idea of how to approach the fort.
Try sticking close to walls and/ or obstructions use these to your advantage when an enemy sees you use the doge button the dash behind them this will allow you enemy's to see you but not fully detect you and they will go and investigate allowing you to assassinate them while not being to close to others so they will not hear you kill the guard searching for you you can do this multiple time to kill the guards one at a time the new stealth system requires a little more patience to be effective
Great video i finished the main storyline today its a really good game one thing that did annoy me was the super sighted soldiers shooting arrows from a great distance and behind a tree an still getting me apart from that i will continue to play on with side missions and the rest
I've found that stealth is one of the easiest things to do as long as you scout the area first with Senu. I've killed all the main assassination targets with stealth except for that Hyena lady boss.
*PLEASE LIKE THIS SO HE SEES* @Longearedfox yet again a greatly detailed and straight to the point vid, much appreciated mate we've all been waiting on this one! I hope you care to read this long ass comment since I'd really appreciate your input and I'd rather not asK SOME CERTAIN other youtubers (ahem @lazerzz start replying mate !). Basically my one and only gripe with ACO is how you step into a world where everything is essentially an after shadow as far as the story is concerned. What I mean by this is the fact that the motivation behind bayeks emotions and actions in the main quest is revenge of his son death (opposed to saving his son). Since his sons already been killed off, What this basically does is destroy a lot of the tension and sense of urgency that the player could be feeling while playing since you're already in the after wake of everything. If your still reading this, good because I would love to hear your opinion on this main quest line change I've been thinking up. So imagine if bayeks kid khemu was not killed but rather abducted in that scene were templars were interrogating bayek and adoptd him as one of there own? It might sound cheesy and cliche but Heres the good part, what if the game developers made it so that depending on how fast you as a player decided to chase down the main quest (say 10hrs play time) as opposed to exploring the beautiful world, you'd be reunited with a son who still loves bayek (which is a good ending, with the grain of salt being not getting to traverse the beautiful world in exchange) after which they could create a bitter sweet ending with the death of Aya (or khemu) to still keep the assassin's and templar feud blazing hot. Whereas players who finish the main quest at a much slower pace (say 30 hrs) will have a completely different experience meeting khemu in the end because he's been completely indoctrinated by the order of the templars and Juno. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this mate and great work with this fine vid.
I think the stealth system is pretty good balanced, sometimes I would wish to have the enemies a bit smarter because a human can see a lot more than a 60° angle infront of him but because its integrated in a game its pretty well balanced I guess.
Good, in-depth review of the game and fair too. If only they decide to eventually add a NG+ that would add some replay abilty. With further increasing the difficulty of the game at the same time. I struggled the most with the end game boss, the gladiator type guy and also the end of the gladiator arena, apart from those times... The combat is fairly simple whilst out and about, especially end game when you have the best weapons, so aslong as you're not going against enemy's of a much higher level it's not that difficult. I enjoy the wide variety of weapons available and also the skill tree, I enjoyed the story as well, overall an enjoyable experience and a nice change to the typical AC approach, am interested to see where Ubisoft will take it from here on.
I thought the stealth was too easy honestly. Their field of view was pretty small. I could zip around pretty smoothly but idk. Other than that I agree with most of what you said
I’m actually really good with stealth gameplay and I actually think the detection time is longer it just depends how far the enemy is from you if ur right next to them when they see u it’s instant I have had situations where I’ll be fighting like 3 Gaurds kill them all and start to be detected but just run away.
Idk why I'm saying this but on my first save slot I started from Hard mode, though when some parts got too difficult (or I was just really bad at the game at the time) so I switched up the difficulty to normal... then easy. I recently started my second save slot on nightmare difficulty and knowing how the game works now, it offers a good amount of challenge for me while also being pretty simple
By far and large the best combat. Looks much more realistic then the older assassins creeds. I play on nightmare and it's not overly difficult it's kinda like dark souls. Stealth system is perfect and realistic most of the time. Npcs aren't stupid like the older games and take 10secs to see you when they are clearly looking at you.
I love the stealth. The tools (especially poison) from the seer skill tree, make it so much fun. Also the detection bar still needs to fill up, it just does it a lot faster. There are plenty of hiding spots, aka bushes, they work just as good as hay bales in my opinion.
Why can't open world games let you have choice in their RPG's, it gives so much more meaning to the game, if you think of the scene when first meeting Cleopatra, the dude tells you not to look her in the eyes, but this never comes up again and you don't have the choice whether to do this or not, whereas in Witcher when meeting the emperor of nilfgaard, you have to decide whether to bow or not, to speak respectfully, all that, and it gives the encounter so much more impact
The open world needs more things you can actually interact with. It's like they've created an illusion of an immersive world by having all this amazing stuff that you can look at but that's the problem: you can only look at it. That's the thing that stops you from being truly immersed in ubisoft games, they always give you all this awesome stuff that you can't do anything with.
In my opinion you are wrong about the stealth system you gotta use more climbing and jump assassinations and more waiting because you can call enemies towards you by whistling ofc they will see you if you go in front of them
The combat is actually my favorite in the series. In previous games I would either never die, or I felt I died unfairly. With this system, when I die..I know it's my fault for swinging at the wrong time or not dodging properly. I just want more combos and kill animations.
o.O stealth is easy in this game, if you guys are having trouble with it, the game probably isn't for you. I generally assassinate all camps, every person in them. I almost never use the predator bows as it makes the game way to easy, even after finishing the main story. Upgrade your blade, sword and chest, or bow as well if you want it to be a cake walk. You can kill the bounty hunters at least 5 levels higher then you, I generally do so using mounted combat. Getting the talent to start combat with full adrenalin, also do the gift from the gods quest, I used them for about 10-12 levels without upgrading as they didn't need it
I really enjoyed it to the fullest extend and I really have to agree with most of the points you came up with. I am excited to see where it goes next and what chapter of history they dive into. I would love to see a follow up or a little filler for bayek and how he took the order forward and who followed n next.
So this video took me around about 3 days to complete (hence the reason why I haven't been uploading over the past few days) and I hope you guys enjoy it! The video contains major spoilers for Assassin's Creed Origins so if you haven't completed it, then I recommend coming back when you've finished the game.
It would be greatly appreciated if you guys dropped a like and shared it if you can! Thanks so much for all your support and I've got some more videos coming out today!
LongEaredFox Assassin's Creed is back indeed and I am more than just happy.
Great review as always Fox!!!
LongEaredFox Thank you for waiting till you were done with the game to give it a review. If we had more people like you Fox the gaming world would be a much better and *HONEST* place.
Thank You George, You've Come A Long Way From The AC Empire Leak And Sorry If My Username Bother You.
LongEaredFox You have done a fantastic job with this review! Thanks!
Keep up the good work!😊
The Stealth system does in fact work. By no means is it forgiving, but it is actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. Here’s a list of tips, some are very obvious, but will be listed regardless. Is long but all are useful. Don’t like, don’t read, simple as that. So here...
1) Use the crouch ability
2) Use Senu (spelling) to scout areas out and tag enemies
3) Stick to the rooftops
4) Upgrade and Use hidden blade
5) Use bows
6)Use the dusk and dawn ability to go in at night. It gives you a small advantage, but not huge. Enemies will be asleep, so U know where they r, and it’s a quick and easy stealth way to kill many people.Also, the stereotypicalness of it makes it more fun and makes u more “devoted” to successfully perform stealth, and because of that you won’t get AS frustrated
7) Go slow, but not too slow. If u r in crouch mode, going different speeds doesn’t affect u being detected. However, don’t rush into situations. Take ur time
8) Plan. Use senu to try and plan out a path through said area, and try to make a path near anything that can be hidden in. Avoid open areas
9) Learn to improvise. Stealth almost never goes according to plan, so when sh*t hits the fan, just make a new path and plan as u go
10) look where u are going to be, not where you are. Whilst running on the rooftops, look ahead and try to avoid Areas with no “quick” outs.
11) Expect the worse, and ull never be disappointed. Plan for things to go wrong, and ull be more level-headed when things go bad, giving u a better chance of making a quick and efficient get away
12) when detected, don’t give up. Learn to run from a fight. Let the enemies get close, then drop a smoke bomb so no one can see, then dip on out of there
13) Get the “chain assassination” skill. the other person u r trying to kill will 9 times outta 10 detect u, but when u hit em with that throwing knife, they die, and u have no issues. If used in a large crowd of enemies, expect to fight
14.a) Get the “Adrenaline 2” skill. U will always start a conflict with a full adrenaline bar, so when detected from across the room, u can perform an instant kill.
14.b) Get the “Overpower Chain Throw” skill. When in the situation from 14 a, but with 2 people, u can use this to kill the other person
15)The bow is the only “tool” ull need. The other tools can make ur stealth run sloppy an end up f’in u over in more ways than can be listed here. U want to kill, and do it as fast as possible. Pretend ur Fizhy
16)avoid fire weapons. Whether it be a bow, sword, or bomb, other stuff can light on fire. While this can be used as an advantage, if u rnt “light on ur toes”nor already planning for it, u can easily get screwed over
17) hide bodies. Avoids unwanted attention
18)go under water. If water is nearby, and u need a quick get-away, drop a smoke near the shore, dive in, and plunge. Start swimming away and the line of sight will easily be broken. Get as far away under water as u can, then recoup and give it another go
19) Let yourself be killed. When detected an du see no way out of it, just stand there and let ur self be killed. Then do ur prep work again, plan around the mistakes u made (not just the ones that caused u to get caught), and give it another go. It may get tedious, but this gets u really good at stealth really fast
20) always think of ways to do what u just did better. Even if in a different place, doing this enough makes it pure instinct to avoid doing things that can mess u up. Doesn’t need to be hard things, it can be as simple as “ok, so that’s about how far bayek can jump and make it with no climbing”
21) PRACTICE!!! Don’t expect to be good instantly. Practice enough, and start off going slow, and without even thinking about it, u start going faster and doing much better. Maybe dedicate at 20-30 min vid of u practicing ur stealth. Talk enough and when u f up make it entertaining, and most will still enjoy
22) practice stealth while hunting. Animals are even harder to stealth around than people, so getting good around them will make going against humans much easier
23) pick an outfit u like. This uses the “look good, feel good” idea. If u like the way ur bayek looks, then u will automatically be more confident in ur skills in stealth, simply cuz bayek looks sexy af. Sounds dumb, but it’s true, try it
24) predator bows. These are literally made for stealth and r super powerful. Use em
25) Sabotage The braziers in camps. No need for extra enemies, that is unless u want a challenge...
26) FINAL TIP- Have fun. If u are too “serious” with your stealth runthrough, then it will get overly stressful and boring. Spice it up every once in a while, see how fu*ked u can get, then try and get ur self out of that situation as fast as possible, whilst killing NO ONE. Might get frustrating, and ur probs gonna die, but in the long run u get good at getting out of bad situations.
So yeah, that’s my list of stealth tips. I’m not asking u to, but if anyone makes a vid on stealth tips and uses this list, just reference me in The vid so I get credit. I have no vids on my channel so I’m not lookin for subs or anything. Just want credit. Have fun with these
this needs to be pinned to the top
Lmao I'm depressed with the way my bayek looks cause I really want ezios outfit but ac origins is the only ac game I've properly played and I'm no where near 3000 uplay XP on it :(
Nigga
NinjaSwag99 stealth in this game is boring, no aggressive stealth :(
Here’s aggressive stealth in AC unity (the game with the best stealth in AC imo) m.ruclips.net/video/P2E205qdp3w/видео.html
NinjaSwag99 also if you snipe someone with a predator bow and there’s someone ride besides you, even if your 50m away they’ll still detect. Fucking ridiculous.
I actually really like the stealth... it feels smoother than with previous AC games
Thomas Palisson same,and its easy to avoid getting detected if the enemies are tagged using senu.
Thomas Palisson agreed, if you take the time to tag the enemies ull avoid unwanted surprises anyway
Much much smoother than previous games and its much better than most of the AC games, but come on, its ASSASSIN's creed! There is so much potential for good stealth, please focus on stealth Ubi!
Synfinitiv I'v gone through whole sections of the game without being even seen not once. I'm not sure how much more stealth you can ask for when I literally grim reaper Sprint without stopping or hiding in the bushes and kill 50 people un noticed.
Yup. I'm on my 2nd play through of the game. Did it first on Xbox, and now doing it on PC.
My Xbox play through I did almost exclusively stealth. Took out all the biggest forts in the game without being seen once. You just have to be very cautious about making sure you've had Senu discover all the enemies, and then use the brush and other cover with the whistle.
On my PC play though, I'm just going all out warfare and killing everyone in combat to switch it up, and it's a very different game this way. :-)
Stealth at night time is much better than during the day. It seems to take longer for them to locate you.
I personally think the harder stealth is a lot better, requires you to think more and now I'm constantly going in to camps with out getting detected
The perfect stealth was in AC unity imo, here’s why:
m.ruclips.net/video/P2E205qdp3w/видео.html
None of this shit is in origins sadly :’(
JASSSSSSS
@@bungiesblueflames In AC unity and every other game before Origins the enemies were dumb and the stealth and the games as a whole were way too easy.
Bayek in one game has almost if not more depth than Ezio, I know some might be afraid to admit it but to say he has nowhere near as much depth is not true
Stupid jackal
Josh Garnier who is erik
“Does the name William Miles ring a bell?”
I love the relationship between Reda and Bayek, the conversations between these two are hilarious and humble!
He's wise for his age
besides the absence of social stealth I dont find a difference in stealth from previous ac games. you got your hiding in bushes and whistling. I just find the enemies are not autistic as previous ac games haha
Ethan Dowell agreed
Personally, I feel that in itself is a major change. However, I think we need to acknowledge the level design as well. While old AC games were supposed to be stealth based, there were many times, level design dictated against that concept. Often you'd have no way of approaching the next target(s) without completely exposing yourself to many others at the same time, hence, ruining that mechanic. Here however, not only do most places have multiple paths to attack from, but the layout of cover is organic, and lends so well to being able to take out entire military camps without getting spotted once. I feel like not enough people realize this, but I'm glad the team went to such lengths to refine this core mechanic.
Ethan Dowell nah the detection is too fast, it makes stealth annoying.
@@bungiesblueflames or maybe you are just bad at stealth
@@James-ru7nz yes because not having an SSI meter in a game series that’s always had one makes me bad at stealth.
In order to enjoy the stealth in this game I feel like you have to really wanna be stealthy. It's not easy if you just go into a fort and are like oh I wanna be stealthy this time. You have to really work for it. I personally use a stealthy approach with my playstyle. Some things to keep in mind if you want to enjoy the stealth more in this game.
1. tag everything with senu. I mean everything. Every single guard and loot that is in the area. This will help you plan your attack.
2. Day and night is key. Before I go into a fort I will check to see what everyone does during the day and at night and decide which one would make it easier for me to go undetected.
3. Keep an eye out for hidden entrances. These make it much easier for you to sneak in and take out the enemies you want while avoiding almost everyone else.
4. kill and run. After I have tagged everything and figured out my path, I immediately go in and kill the captain's and commanders. I see where they are and that is my starting point. Once I have killed them and taken all the treasure I run. classic ac1. kill the target and escape.
5. always sabotage the brasier. If you want to be stealthy less enemies is key if you get detected.
These are just a few things. Like you said the stealth in this game is not easy at all. You really have to commit yourself to being stealthy. It's hard but very satisfying when you take out a big fort efficiently without being detected.
Don't get me wrong the system is no where near perfect. I really miss my social stealth. Better be in the next game.
I completely agree with everything, except for the stealth part. I completed the game on normal and hard mode now and I completed them both in a stealthy playstyle. I completely understand your point of view, but I think the most important aspect of the stealth system is that you really need to be patient when observing all of the guards. So if you are prepared to put a lot of time in taking down everyone in a fortress without being noticed, it is reeeeeaally easy :p
But I loved the review man!
I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future of the franchise.
I actually think the stealth is good, if you're quite far away they'll give you a chance to get away and hide and stay undetected, but if you, like in the clip you showed, just walk up right under their noses they'll obviously see you
KAJJEE KANALEN FAN RIGHT?!?
Mr_Gray Damn right, don't understand what he's talking about, obviously the guards will attack when you walk right infront of them
KAJJEE KANALEN FAN It’s what makes enemies of ANY stealth game look stupid. Or better yet blind.
Mr_Gray Exactly, I don't want them to help me with my objective, they're supposed to stop me
Using sleep dart is effective at that point.
Stealth system is great as it can be difficult in closed buildings, adds a sense of reward
You hate that the enemies eyes work like normal eyes?
I think that's not what he meant
Actually it’s the same actor for William Miles, he just sounds a bit different. Possibly because he’s older? Or didn’t give a shit since he had like, 15 lines. Great review, keep up the good work.
AC died with Desmond and was reborn with the birth of the Brotherhood.
The irony.
AC4:Am i joke to you
Before AC Origins I have never played open world games EXCEPT Zelda: Breath of the wild. After I played through AC Origins and realize how good open world games are when they are done right. As I said I played through Zelda BOTW but I didn't get the open world rush. So what did I do after I played AC Origins 80 hours+? I bought Horizon and Witcher 3 ^^ Rip my wallet.
The story I liked but the end I didn't like cause I feel like it just forces the ending and the start of the creed on you and it also feels like they just leave it off like a major cliff hanger and doesn't really give a satisfying ending. But I do get they do that they do that to start off the next game. Plus Bayek and Aya's last scene with the skull forming the symbol I though was very well done.
Dayton Wilson I liked the whole Aya becomes Amunet, better than I expected, I was expecting her to die. The symbol thing was well done, personally I feel like it's setting up a sequel with aya possibly, Probably Bayek
This is the best assassins creed origins review I’ve seen in my opinion. Good job George! For me the stealth is pretty intense and less forgiving than the other ac games, which I like, I would just want to have a more varied kill animation as it can become bland after a while.
For the combat system, especially overpower attacks I wish that if u kill the enemy with it, it does the normal animation. However if they don't die, instead of putting a sword through the body, how abt a little animation where they semi parry ur attack but take loads of dmg? Kinda like the combo finishers in AC2 and executions in Middle Earth.
Good point, it looks so stupid when someone gets impaled and then is totally fine
Reviews under 8/10 for this game were rushed!!
Gamestop made me rant
The stealth could be better but it’s not that bad. You just have to be creative and definitely use Senu to your advantage before you enter a restricted area. You should also get the skill where when you click on an enemy using Senu you can see what their patrol is because this will help you plan out your attack. And you NEED to upgrade your hidden blade, quiver, and bows. Use tools and don’t be afraid to take risks. You could always just fight them if you get caught. I recommend using the predator now because it’s basically a silent sniper rifle. Hope this helped!
The stealth was fantastic and more realistic. You used it just fine multiple times in this video, like when u had to shoot the one guy, then hide behind a wall before his buddy got to you. Then you were still able to assassinate his buddy. Perfect marriage of stealth and combat that simply didnt work together in old ac's, where you were either 'in combat' or not. This is so much better, and you are able to mix stealth with combat/ranged combat.
Regarding the stealth system I personally use it as my main strategy, even though it definitely isn't the best, it seems to work most of the time and my main problem is when an enemy that I did Mark with Senu spots me
When you mark an enemy with senu, it doesnt turn that enemy blind...
crazy gentleman I meant that I didn't mark because I couldn't see them with senu
Ashraf ismails team should be the only ones making assassin’s creed games, they clearly know what they’re doing
I feel like stede bonnet from ac4 had more screen time that ptolemy and stede wasnt even considered a huge character
And Stede was way more fleshed out and likeable than every character in origins other than Bayek. They need Darby back honestly
Fair play George you took your time in this vid, won’t watch it as I still haven’t played origins, I will leave you a like however my oldest and dearest friend :)
Rory Davies You should watch it. He has everything in very distinct sections so skipping the story section is easy.
Chilrona fair enough but I think I’ll leave it cause I wanna watch the whole thing when I finish origins
I frequently use stealth and I think the main problem is that you can have a plan on how to take everyone down but when it comes time to do that and someone sees you then you don’t have enough time to kill them how you planned without them initiating combat. At that point everyone’s just on you and you have to fight. Other than that it’s great
I really enjoyed the stealth system and enjoyed the challenge. It does take getting used to but it's quite satisfying going around and killing everyone without getting caught, it's almost like an extra achievement.
Tips for your stealth, go to a high difficulty base, scout out all their weak points, for example oil and where they sleep and best points to enter the base, scout out the signal fire, that's your first target, plan your moves all the time, I usually go round the walls where the archers are, killing them on my way to the signal fire and disposing of the bodies, once that is done you can go after the commanders and captains, if they spot you, back up won't know
I think that Senu is one of the best additions to the stealth mechanics. It really allows you to plan out the best way to approach an objective, so their aren't as much surprises, and you always know what to expect. It's extremely satisfying to wipe out an entire compound without being detected, especially with all the different ways to kill enemies. Throwing sleep darts in fires to incapacitate multiple enemies at once, using ballistas to finish off the final couple enemies, or lighting a tent on fire with people inside. The option for ranged combat also helps keeping stealth combat versatile and more fun. I do agree that detection time feels off and their's really no way to save yourself if you do get caught, but other than that I've had more fun with stealth in an AC games than in a long time.
I love Assassin's Creed: Origins and I love this new Assassin's Creed formula, and I'm very excited for the next Assassin's Creed game. This combat system, gear system, and open world design are all amazing and can fit into Medieval Europe, Feudal Japan, Ancient Rome, or anywhere and any when else. Speaking of a sequel, I'd love to see it set in Ancient Rome, largely because they already have a lot of the assets and a lot of the mechanics that I'd love to see again, including chariot racing, gladiatorial fights, naval combat, war elephants, and Phylakes.
I love the stealth in the game only because I tried making it realistic in other games for myself as a possibility and now I actually need to go whit a realistic approach, so I‘m kind‘of used to it, but I can understand why it could frustrate some people
And yes It works, it takes more time than going all out but in the end after killing everyone with stealth it‘s so satisfying
I actually found the stealth to me not only more functional but more fun. I’d poison half an enemy fort, bow and stab the rest. Wait for the last straggler, set a trap on the brazier, make myself known, let him light it and kill himself. OR set loose caged animals or prisoners. And so on and so forth. Stealth was awesome.
I love the stealth. You just gotta mark everybody with Senu, and stay high. Being below enemies will get you spotted. Make sure to go around the perimeter before you head for the center. Never air assassinate unless you know if you will get spotted by nearby enemies.
What killed the stealth of Origins for me was the lack of a double assassination. Yes, I know chain assassination is a thing but it has much different functionality and takes a long time to execute, leaving you open to getting detected.
The double blades weren't a thing until altair
I use the stealth and my advise is as follows, senue is your best friend, tag all enemy’s, clime up walls to start at a higher vantage point, rely on guided arrows so strategically take out better/long range enemy’s, upgrade your hidden blade so that you maximize damage against higher level enemy’s, and keep a low profile, avoid getting near many guards, pick them off from behind cover. Flame bows with high damage against the bigger bad guys
When I first played I hated the melee combat. It felt janky, so I just decided to use the bow 90% of the time. But after awhile it starts to feel much better and definitely grows with you. Although I still think it can be more fluid. Especially when switching targot lock onto different enemies.
I've been a die-hard Assassin's Creed fan from the beginning. I got to say the combat and movement of this game are buttery smooth . Finally a combat system where you don't just sit there and Hack and Slash and have 300 bodies laying around you.
I know I'm like 2 years later but to add for anyone who may be looking to try this game the stealth system wasn't that bad. I played on the hardest difficulty since release and I felt that stealth was more so scouting out the area using senu and using their locations to find a path no so heavily patrolled. It definitely helps when your hidden blade isn't upgraded because it's not a guaranteed one hit kill. The predator bow is helpful in clearing out paths from a high vantage point and as you go only take on people in your way
I mostly use stealth. I love the challenge, yes it is annoying with the immediate detection but i love the realism plus you can headshot an enemy with bow in the little slowmotion that triggers after detection
BUT i hate how we end the game with aya while bayek the character we play the entire game is chilling out in egypt
MMM NAH I LIKE THE CHALLENGE FEEL TO THE STEALTH BECAUSE THIS GAME HAS MADE ME A LOT BETTER AT STEALTH
I youse stealth a lot in assassin games what I do first is scope out the area it might take a little bit longer but scoping out the area gives you all the advantage to stealth it out
i liked poisoning enemies and how it would spread to whoever got close. i once saw it happen to like 7 guys in a row and i was just sitting in the bushes watching and waiting.
i also love sicking preds on em but was having a hard time using fire to my advantage as it relies on placing and timing. one miscalculation and everythings thrown down the toilet. its easy and fun doing stealth in the dark and murdering guards in their sleep and walking out cleanly, no music playing, makes you feel like a boss. the predator bow i thought id never use but its so useful for stealth and so fun when you get head shots.
stealth only works properly if you use senu to scope out first.it is a great and handy skill to learn.it makes it possible to attack and destroy much higher opponents
The Stealth System relies on a Basic tactic. goin in from top to bottom. Clearing all the guards on walls etc with a bow or item for example a poisondart into a fireplace for multiple guards. assasinations are best for single guards and have to be completed from behind in oder to stay undetected. mark the enemys with senu to see them and the it should be easy to stay out of sight since all elevated Locations should be cleared, an you can climb anywhere without being spotted at the top or running into a random guard. crouching is best in bushes or high grass u can assasinate enemy and immediately hide the Body similar to the heycarts. u can clear entire bases without being spotted.
Ik I'm like 2 years late, but for stealth, use senu to scout out your surroundings and highlight your enemy's, that makes predicting them much easier.
I love the stealth and I can honestly say the most fun I had playing this game was taking out the large (three spear level) enemy forts without even being noticed. I loved the bows and I think they played a large part in the stealth system. This is one of the few games that actually changes its play style based on what you have equipped.
If you ask me, yes the stealth could use some work but if you get used to it and devote yourself to it, it can be quite fun and useful
I use stealth to complete camps. It's not that different from previous Assassin's Creed games but it does have new features that makes it more enjoyable and challenging. Since combat is more difficult then stealth had to be is well otherwise people would just use stealth.
My main tips are
Use Senu to tag all the enemies, it'll be easier to keep an eye out.
If you're detected, smoke bomb and hide. Try to stay around the area of detection so that way you don't alert other guards.
Fire is usually good on groups but since enemies can track you, you'd need to move or hide since it's not a instant kill but it does separate them so you can pick them off.
I hope you take my advice and happy hunting. :)
I think the stealth was handled fine. I tend to use lots of stealth in the early gameplay. Usually I'll head up to a vantage point and scout for enemies position via Senu. Most of the times I'll do an air assassination. The stealth in bushes worked to my advantage to when I feel I need to dislodge a guard from his spot.
The only thing I miss a lot is social stealth. There were so many situations where I wish I could opt for social stealth but the whole mechanism wasn't available in the game.
2 years later I was never really an ac fan i have played 1 syndicate and black flag but I recently bought this game over lockdown and it has got me hooked to the series
Stealth is really not that bad, if you get a lot more vantage points around the map it will increase senu (probably butchered that name) but it will increase his perception. So he can see better and before I go into a base I look at everything with him to find all the enemies. I’d also advise using sleep darts as in even if an enemy detects you, you can throw it and put them to sleep before they have enough time to alert the other guards. Also take the commander or captain fist. I’d advise upgrading your hidden blade way above your level gap so you can assassinate the at lot faster. Apposed to the stealth attack icon you get if ur hidden blade is not upgraded enough. Also take advantage of high ground. The boats for example have a lot to walk on up top so you can plan attacks better.
I've 100% the game after about 83 hours. I almost uninstalled the game after the first 2 hours because of how boring and uninspired the beginning was. Thank god I powered through because the rest of the game is awesome
I played the entire game with mostly stealth and I honestly loved it. It made it more strategic like hiding bodies and luring enemies and such
I've used both stealth and combat in this game. and I find that the stealth is a lot of fun... You have to be patient and watch your enemies and plan your approaches.
I really agree with your opinion on the stealth system, I usually try to do the missions in a stealthy way, but with origins it makes it really difficult to do that...
I ended up using stealth basically the entire game. It starts of sort of hard but a good thing to do first is upgrade your hidden blade so you can instakill higher level people. Also stock up on arrows
Oh damn 45 minutes?that got me off guard
I actually really love the stealth in AC Origins. Detection time may be overkill for some people, but I love the degree of realism and challenge it gives. The stealth in the game definitely makes you plan carefully, and using Senu if you want to go stealth is a must.
Later: assassin’s creed odyssey: how to throw all the progress to the trash.
The combat works once you get behind a controller
Just finished the main story. Some problems here and there, but I felt for Bayek. I nearly cried for him after killing the Scarab. Man, what a scene! Amazing game, and I intend on playing it again, perhaps when the first DLC/expansion: The Hidden Ones drops.
I stealthed through the whole game and was rarely caught. I do it by taking my time and making sure to compromise the beacon. I also take time to mark every enemy with senu. I also leave lots of bodies in the open and poison them. And finally I save the really hard boss for last once every enemy has been assassinated.
I have found that I haven't been detected right away. My playstyle is I would show myself for a second or two which they cause them to investigate what they saw which in turn allows me to lure them into an assassination. I do this on enemies who are a bit further than the whistle can reach. Though most of the time I forget to use the whistle and just do what I previously mentioned. Finally to answer your question I don't think the stealth system is bad, I kind of enjoyed it.
But I agree the system could use more work.
I like the potential of the modern day story. They have these Messages of the ones who came before in the tombs where they indicate the potential of the animus, tht it could do more than just show the past. And Layla´s goal was to build a better Animus. I can imagine that they go for that route in the next 2 games, before they aim for the"Miles-Family" Soryline again
Yeah man, they are going in the right direction, some things may need improvement but its definitely the right steps to reviving the series. I hope they can add in co-op soon maybe for the next game or after because this rpg system would be amazing for co-op missions or just exploring the world with friends.
great vid man, but in the matter of stealth, instant detection only happens when youre really close to the guard, hiding spots are actually in abundance in this game, especially in places where there is vegetation, i dont know why you said hiding spots arent much in this game,
i usually take a more stealthy approach (embracing my assassin side)
and yh from the outside it may look quite generic, but once you delve deep into it, it really grows on you, try raiding level 1 and 2 forts undetected first, and when you find yourself taking them on easily, then head on to the level 3 forts and try doing them undetected, synchronise with the viewpoints as much as possible as this would upgrade senus perception as well as his speed and how frequently he helps in combat.
use senu to spot as much enemies as possible in the fort or any stealth scenario. as this would give you an idea of how to approach the fort.
Try sticking close to walls and/ or obstructions use these to your advantage when an enemy sees you use the doge button the dash behind them this will allow you enemy's to see you but not fully detect you and they will go and investigate allowing you to assassinate them while not being to close to others so they will not hear you kill the guard searching for you you can do this multiple time to kill the guards one at a time the new stealth system requires a little more patience to be effective
In this game I used stealth and whistling to lure the enemy. Use bushes, corners, roof tops.
Great video i finished the main storyline today its a really good game one thing that did annoy me was the super sighted soldiers shooting arrows from a great distance and behind a tree an still getting me apart from that i will continue to play on with side missions and the rest
I've found that stealth is one of the easiest things to do as long as you scout the area first with Senu. I've killed all the main assassination targets with stealth except for that Hyena lady boss.
In the emails it also mentions the final events of the assassins creed movie so that could be a thing even though the movie sucked
*PLEASE LIKE THIS SO HE SEES* @Longearedfox yet again a greatly detailed and straight to the point vid, much appreciated mate we've all been waiting on this one! I hope you care to read this long ass comment since I'd really appreciate your input and I'd rather not asK SOME CERTAIN other youtubers (ahem @lazerzz start replying mate !). Basically my one and only gripe with ACO is how you step into a world where everything is essentially an after shadow as far as the story is concerned. What I mean by this is the fact that the motivation behind bayeks emotions and actions in the main quest is revenge of his son death (opposed to saving his son). Since his sons already been killed off, What this basically does is destroy a lot of the tension and sense of urgency that the player could be feeling while playing since you're already in the after wake of everything. If your still reading this, good because I would love to hear your opinion on this main quest line change I've been thinking up. So imagine if bayeks kid khemu was not killed but rather abducted in that scene were templars were interrogating bayek and adoptd him as one of there own? It might sound cheesy and cliche but Heres the good part, what if the game developers made it so that depending on how fast you as a player decided to chase down the main quest (say 10hrs play time) as opposed to exploring the beautiful world, you'd be reunited with a son who still loves bayek (which is a good ending, with the grain of salt being not getting to traverse the beautiful world in exchange) after which they could create a bitter sweet ending with the death of Aya (or khemu) to still keep the assassin's and templar feud blazing hot. Whereas players who finish the main quest at a much slower pace (say 30 hrs) will have a completely different experience meeting khemu in the end because he's been completely indoctrinated by the order of the templars and Juno. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this mate and great work with this fine vid.
I sneak in at night the right way to sneak into the camp since the game is being realistic
It's one of my favorites AC games behind Black Flag and AC II
A year later, Ubisoft already fucked it up
Watching this makes me realise how much better origins is than odyssey or valhalla
I think the stealth system is pretty good balanced, sometimes I would wish to have the enemies a bit smarter because a human can see a lot more than a 60° angle infront of him but because its integrated in a game its pretty well balanced I guess.
Good, in-depth review of the game and fair too. If only they decide to eventually add a NG+ that would add some replay abilty. With further increasing the difficulty of the game at the same time. I struggled the most with the end game boss, the gladiator type guy and also the end of the gladiator arena, apart from those times... The combat is fairly simple whilst out and about, especially end game when you have the best weapons, so aslong as you're not going against enemy's of a much higher level it's not that difficult. I enjoy the wide variety of weapons available and also the skill tree, I enjoyed the story as well, overall an enjoyable experience and a nice change to the typical AC approach, am interested to see where Ubisoft will take it from here on.
I thought the stealth was too easy honestly. Their field of view was pretty small. I could zip around pretty smoothly but idk. Other than that I agree with most of what you said
I’m actually really good with stealth gameplay and I actually think the detection time is longer it just depends how far the enemy is from you if ur right next to them when they see u it’s instant I have had situations where I’ll be fighting like 3 Gaurds kill them all and start to be detected but just run away.
I love both stealth and combat. But I use stealth the most. I have no problem with both of them.
Idk why I'm saying this but on my first save slot I started from Hard mode, though when some parts got too difficult (or I was just really bad at the game at the time) so I switched up the difficulty to normal... then easy. I recently started my second save slot on nightmare difficulty and knowing how the game works now, it offers a good amount of challenge for me while also being pretty simple
The stealth system is actually amazing, yes unforgiving but realistic with a batmanish approach
I love the stealth system
By far and large the best combat. Looks much more realistic then the older assassins creeds. I play on nightmare and it's not overly difficult it's kinda like dark souls. Stealth system is perfect and realistic most of the time. Npcs aren't stupid like the older games and take 10secs to see you when they are clearly looking at you.
I love the stealth. The tools (especially poison) from the seer skill tree, make it so much fun. Also the detection bar still needs to fill up, it just does it a lot faster. There are plenty of hiding spots, aka bushes, they work just as good as hay bales in my opinion.
Why can't open world games let you have choice in their RPG's, it gives so much more meaning to the game, if you think of the scene when first meeting Cleopatra, the dude tells you not to look her in the eyes, but this never comes up again and you don't have the choice whether to do this or not, whereas in Witcher when meeting the emperor of nilfgaard, you have to decide whether to bow or not, to speak respectfully, all that, and it gives the encounter so much more impact
The open world needs more things you can actually interact with. It's like they've created an illusion of an immersive world by having all this amazing stuff that you can look at but that's the problem: you can only look at it. That's the thing that stops you from being truly immersed in ubisoft games, they always give you all this awesome stuff that you can't do anything with.
In my opinion you are wrong about the stealth system you gotta use more climbing and jump assassinations and more waiting because you can call enemies towards you by whistling ofc they will see you if you go in front of them
Using stealth, you gotta move slower an def try to do recon with the eagle before you go into an enemy area.
23:26 I like your boat better. Lol
The combat is actually my favorite in the series. In previous games I would either never die, or I felt I died unfairly. With this system, when I die..I know it's my fault for swinging at the wrong time or not dodging properly. I just want more combos and kill animations.
To sneak better get the high ground use senu to scout the enemy and boom and the meditation to bring the night cycle
o.O stealth is easy in this game, if you guys are having trouble with it, the game probably isn't for you.
I generally assassinate all camps, every person in them. I almost never use the predator bows as it makes the game way to easy, even after finishing the main story. Upgrade your blade, sword and chest, or bow as well if you want it to be a cake walk.
You can kill the bounty hunters at least 5 levels higher then you, I generally do so using mounted combat.
Getting the talent to start combat with full adrenalin, also do the gift from the gods quest, I used them for about 10-12 levels without upgrading as they didn't need it
I really enjoyed it to the fullest extend and I really have to agree with most of the points you came up with. I am excited to see where it goes next and what chapter of history they dive into. I would love to see a follow up or a little filler for bayek and how he took the order forward and who followed n next.
Ubisoft had the guts to make references to the movie if you missed that
I didn't mind the stealth. It kind of made up for it because of the slow-mo assassination window that you get when you're detected.
Mate stealth does works.. it is not perfect of course because you can't do every mission with stealth but it is pretty effective
