The most mind blowing thing about this game is that Ancient Egypt had been going on for thousands of years before the events in the game take place. For example, Djoser died around 2600 BC. He’s been dead for approximately 2,500 years by the time you start the game (43-49 BC) 🤯
Makes me kinda wish they set the game in like 1000 b.c or at have more side content that relates to ancient Egypt seeing as the medjay in real life where kind of like guards protecting specific locations but I guess the serving the people angle adds more to bayek’s character
@@abelramirez7320put it into perspective of how old Egypte is and the continent of Africa as a whole, the land of the first humans….Simply amazing. If only you could time travel and just explore without intervening.
@@JG-jz3whI think that's what makes AC so special. You get the closest you can to exploring ancient worlds that have been crafted with extreme care. No matter the quality of the game itself, Ubisoft has an incredible historical architecture and landscaping team across the studios
Bayek deserved a sequel. The whole story deserved a sequel, in 2018 before we got Odyssey I was looking forward to a continuation set in Rome, the establishment of the brotherhood.
Aya deserved more screen time she was supposed to be the main character but they snubbed her making bayek the main but her still Canon while giving us kassandra and eivor as cannon females which were not very great characters to begin with
If you get approached by cats in this game, hit the crouch button and face the direction of the cat and Bayek will proceed to automatically pet the cat. Turn if you have more cats next to you to pet more.
Origins is the only game from the franchise I had a really hard time letting go. I finished the main part, both DLCs and at the end even the amazing visual tour of Egypt. It was all done so well, attention to detail in both the world and character design was very apparent, and I as well haven't had any issues or bugs, even on my very mid pc. Bayek is the best voiced protagonist of the series by far, and his story and determination really resonated with me. and although some may not agree, I think Origins gave the player much freedom to choose their playstyle, with the skill tree not being linear and having lots of options. I basically played through everything with mostly stealth, bow and arrows and the poison darts, but you can certainly play more "tanky" as well, with the shield stance and various melee weapons. overall it's a great game, glad to see you've enjoyed it as well.
Bro I loved this game!!! I just discovered it this year. This was my 1st time actually playing an AC game. I Didn't think I was actually goin to play it all the way thru though.

I was praying for side missions when I knew it was coming close to the game being complete.. I did every side mission possible. They all went with the feeling of what & who Bayek was. He was basically a super hero so it felt good to help the people of Egypt...I did all the dlc also...GREAT GAME!!!

I have been playing this on and off since 2018 and find myself currently enthralled all over again. I have about 180 hours logged but I beat the main game easily 60 hours in. Once I stopped playing "the game" the world itself absolutely captured me. In that time this game has progressed beyond just another Assassin's Creed into a literal full-blown Egyptian simulator game. I now spend much of my time traveling around by camel taking pictures, and poking my nose into tombs while picking off the last of my uncompleted locations. Origins is truly special. It belongs in a museum.
Τhis is more than just a game.... It is the best simulation of ancient Egypt, a historical setting for exploration and discovery that will please gamers!
It really is beautiful. The feeling I got when I climbed the pyramids of Giza and just looked around.... It was amazing. It is probably my 5th favourite AC game and one of my favourite games of all time. Would've been higher if the gameplay downgrades weren't as big as they are unfortunately
I'm not a gamer at all so I don't even know what games are like. But I bought this because it's such a work of art! It's beautiful! You can see it's a labor of love, not just putting the game during the time period, but bringing the world of this time to life. I love it!
@@Amamkoncahuanquichu what I mean by downgrades, is that basic mechanics like parkour, stealth, combat, are worse, in almost every way (at least to me) in this game compared to like AC1 from 2007
Bayek is genuinely one of the greatest protagonists in video game history. Abubaka Salim's voice acting performance for him is phenomenal & utterly breathtaking, he nails the softer moments but is also terrifying during moments of rage. The character of Bayek himself is well written, a man of honour and you really believe his story. You trek across Egypt, taking on enemy after enemy, facing defying odds and not once does it feel forced, Bayek is determined and resolute in his mission. He feels totally natural and genuine in his surroundings of ancient Egypt. There's few protagonists I've genuinely loved, the likes of Niko Bellic, Master Chief, Geralt of Rivia, Ezio Auditore, Arthur Morgan, John Marston come to mind but Bayek of Siwa is right up there with them all. I just hope the next AC will be more like Origins rather than Odyssey and Valhalla.
6 Months?! You deserve way more man, you have talent for making videos, your editing and story telling is amazing, keep working hard, im sure you will be at 30k by the end of the year
I’m playing now. 60 hrs in. Maybe half way through main story. I find my self often climbing the highest point in whatever area I’m in and just gushing over how beautiful it is. Playing on a 65” LG OLED @ 4K Ultra settings. Gorgeous. When I finally get 100% I’m moving on to Odyssey, Valhalla and then Mirage. By the time I finish those Red and Hexe will be out and I’ll still be behind.
@@BenjaminButton6573 hard disagree. Each has its own place. Never played mirage. But even Valhalla has its moments. If you like Origins and hate Odyssey you are bent. Both are great in their own ways. And both have their issues that are frustrating.
Enjoy, don't worry about the other ones. My favorite out of those is Origins, overall. Odyssey is the most fun, Valhalla could be good but it's really really long, and that really took me out of the experience. Mirage is good. Even though Valhalla is the last on my list, it's still a good game. So don't worry about it, I think you'll enjoy all of them.
Bayek is easily one of the best game protagonists ever, especially in AC. This game is definitely my favorite of the series, as well as the most interesting worlds to discover
Bayek is great but his story is stolen by Aya in the later stage of the main storyline in my opinion. It's actually not bad for storytelling, but it makes Bayek weak as the protagonist. Imagine a protagonist that doesn't kill the final boss
I'm a huge fan of Bayek and his story with Aya, and the bittersweet, affecting way the main game ends. Bayek is right up there with Ezio as a likeable character.
Honestly same there was so much they could have done with bayek sent him to Judea to maybe liberate some cities there or send him to Iberia or Rome like you said
I really recommend you to go and play something like GOW, Witcher 3, TLOU Part I and II, RDR2 etc. Then come back and tell me that Bayek is anywhere near being one of the best game characters
I just started Origins for the first time yesterday, I hadn't jumped back into the A.C world since I got it on launch day in 07, stoked to have chosen this one, pretty epic so far
The characters and story of this game is enough to carry it. It’s one of the few games where I can recall the story beat by beat. But the gameplay makes its next level. it had me planning, setting up situations and taking my time to pick my shots and moments. You can’t just mash through some of the fights. On the flip side it gives you gives you opportunity to improvise. You can get in your head and pick your lines thinking about how to raid a military base only to find most of the guards are asleep and you can just clean house before anyone wakes up
Just started playing this game and I’m also addicted. Just like me who hasn’t played the entire series, (played Unity and Syndicate only) Origins is like a stand alone game that’s more than enough for me to enjoy AC w/o having to play all.
Did we all collectively have the urge to start a new playthrough of Origins in the last few days? 😂 I started a NG+ last week in Nightmare mode and i'm absolutely loving it. Origins is such a good game, Bayek became my second favourite Assassins Creed protagonist after Ezio.
man Ive been seeing you fot two weeks now, and thought that you were a well experienced youtuber until now, I think your content is awsome and your way of expressing and explaining things is great, you deserve this support, nice job ;)
first AC game i really played, i fell in love with the franchise thanks to bayek. I played it during covid, I used to stay up all night discovering new places, weapons, otufits. This game is not perfect, but it's special to me. I'd love a sequel.
The hieroglyphs, temples, catacombs, and every little detail makes this game my favorite of all the assassins creed games. This game is a beautiful masterpiece.
Origins for me was the best of the AC games and the only AC I got a Platinum trophy for, even the DLCs were excellent as well especially the Hidden Ones, that ending at the cave really did make you feel as if you were right at the start of the Creed.
This will be a long comment, but I liked Bayek so much. He is humble, he struggles sometimes silently and sometimes violently, he loses, he survives, and he learns to mourn, grieve, and move on. We follow him on what is arguably the most turmulous time of his life and through all the pain and frustration we see him put through he is kind, compassionate to those who need it most; never too busy to lend a helping hand, and he even finds time to see the humor in things sometimes. We see him at his absolute worst at first. Completely raged out, that’s how we are introduced to him. It’s shocking, it’s down right scary... And then we find out why, and see him manage through these feelings. By the end of the game he’s a different man again, he’s learned, he’s seen the worst in people and the best in others. We are with him throughout all that, and I find that very compelling, personally.
dude is so good at making clear and goog video with good rhytm that i thought he was making them from a long time. BIG props to you buddy insane videos
hard to believe its been 6 years. i was a junior in highschool when origins came out and i remember everything about the day it released, i fell in love with AC again that day (even if origins wasnt the best title)
I stumbled upon this video after watching your more recent one, and after finishing the game four times, I have to agree that Assassin's Creed Origins is phenomenal. The content you put out really hits home and explains the game and its beauty well. I'm all here for it!
Origins was the first and only AC game I have played. I’ve been hesitant to play others because I don’t believe it can be matched. The music, the story, the gameplay, the history, the landscape, Bayek, everything. Love it.
The 2 things I hated in Origins were level system and side missions. - Level system was always making me do side content for the sake of having more xp, while in Odyssey and Valhalla although we still have that system I was never forced to do side content for the sake of xp. - Side missions were just so boring, most were to rescue someone at a camp or fort.
I couldn’t agree more. Came here to say the same thing. The xp grind was frustrating when all I wanted to do was play the story. And it’s made worse with the “optional” xp bonuses you could buy with real world money.
I took the high road like everyone when the game released and every replay since has been NG+ so I can just do what many would prefer - whatever I want, whenever i want, and touch on the story quests as wanted. The grind of RPG in every game nowadays is tedious.
Looking back i think the Son of Ra was an Isu reincarnation, similar to Eivor and Sigurd, just his experience was so traumatizing that it reawoken his memories in a brutal way.
7:07 i don't know why but the way you said this phrase hit somewhere and something different. Sort of like how we play games to escape reality, by playing games we skip the main story which is actual life to get stuck into the worlds we make up inside ourselves.
the best part is when this game came out after the witcher 3 show the beauty of open world action rpg and seeing the world map in Origins and you can explore egypt really incredible.
I got Origins a few days ago & I now see what the hype was about & why I’ve heard nothing but good things on it for years. Odyssey was my first RPG AC & it soured it for me. Turns out Origins is superior in every way & has been fantastic to play
I always felt similarly about this game and about Bayek and thought it was something of a rare take, so I enjoyed this video. There was just a depth to Bayek and his motivations in a way that that just hasn't felt quite the same in the other AC games I've played.
Loved Origins and the new shift in gameplay. But for some reason I was obsessed with Odyssey. I have almost 500 hours in that game and I didn't loved it that much 😅 it's just the world was crafted so beautifully and with exploration in mind. It felt really good running around.
I feel not enough people talk about the DLC for Origins. The Hidden Ones felt like a fitting final chapter to Bayek's and Aya's story and the real foundation of the Hidden Ones and their creed. I love the twist with the final boss fight against Gamilat and how he's the only character in the story who accepts his death graciously, realizing his mistake of arming innocents in the end and giving his blessings to the Hidden Ones Meanwhile The Curse of the Pharaohs just goes completely off the rails. After dabbling with some fantastical elements in the main game like the god boss fights, this DLC has you fighting ghosts of dead pharaohs (resurrected through the Apple of Eden) and visiting simulations of the Egyptian afterlife to put their souls to rest. While it drags on a bit too long IMO it's just pure dumb endgame fun
yeah, Origins is a great game. I'm at level 38 now. It got a versatile map which includes the high density vegetation, desert, mountains, fields, croco and bird or leopard lairs.... I really enjoy playing that. recently I tried some other popular multiplayer games and I hate those. These single player games are good to use for a nice day-off summer. Ubisoft really did wonderful. And yes, I didn't face any bugs or glitches. I didn't had any issue lead me to restart the game or the quest. graphics are awesome also. When I get hyped up, I just turn on to ultra graphics and enjoy the view, and when I'm grinding I just stay on high graphics. even medium is great for a game that represents a world most of us didn't experienced in real life.❤❤❤
Dude I’m playing through this game rn and it’s so amazing. I think this was the last true assassins creed game we saw. I am playing without the xp boost cuz I hate myself, and I love the way this game incentivizes knowing your surroundings and using the shadows to your advantage
Origins and Odyssey have their pros and cons. Origins had a narrative that felt more refined and thought out. It also had a giant map. But it lacked replayability. Odyssey is less thought out but has a bigger map with features that make you go around the map to replay the game’s content.
I haven't played any AC game in a long time, but I find myself thinking about Origins a lot. I can't quite put my finger on what draws me to it other than the setting, but there's definitely more that makes me want to play again. Origins and Black Flag are my favorites in the franchise.
This is the first game in a long time that I get lost in and end up playing it for hours without even noticing this is a good game this is what you get when developers actually try to
I’m a big supporter of Assassins Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. So going from those to this was crazy at first. However, this game is amazing. Setting alone is perfect, filled with rich history and an amazing protagonist. 10/10
Just replayed odyssey and beat the brakes off of it and was debating on whether or not I was gonna replay this one. Your video made my mind up, and I'll be starting it tonight. Have a sub
And game is optimized very good, i play on super budget gt 1030, i5 2400 and 6 gb ddr3 ram, i get constant 45 fps. It has fps drops first like 10 minutes but after that is constant. While in Unity i get 30 fps on medium settings. Its really a surprise Ubisoft optimized game this good
The issue isn't the game's massive world or abundance of content. The real problem is the monotonous, repetitive gameplay that forces players to perform the same mundane tasks repeatedly. This predictable grind inevitably leads to player boredom and a loss of interest, regardless of how expansive or visually impressive the game world might be.
Honestly I loved Origins and Odyssey for their worlds and gameplay/story compared to previous titles. Gotta say, I enjoyed both of those over the older AC games
I'm hooked again now! I completed the main story last year for the first time! Came back to it this year but I'm going through it from scratch on PS5 and doing all the sides etc this time
I think the fanbase would be MORE than happy for a Bayek sequel, hes a great character with a great motive and voice actor. His young son was killed by the order and he went on a journey of revenge until he realised the rot of the order went deeper than his own personal issues with them. He lives in a great time period for the game with tonnes of potential. He could travel the whole of Asia, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and North Africa, setting up hidden ones bases across the area and dismantling the order in those regions, meeting historical figures and helping them or stopping them in their goals and spreading his Medjay ideals. Ultimately the final game of his story would see him return to egypt for one final "battle" with the order and he would come to rest where we find him in the modern day story arc. Bayek has potential to be the new Ezio and if Ubisoft would just commit to a character we could have peak AC again with a character players could finally become attached to.
If you want to extend and enhance your experience of both Origins and Odyssey try playing Discovery mode in first person mode! You can really appreciate details such as friezes on walls, fur on animals and the stitching on flour bags in close up and don't have to worry about getting eaten by crocodiles!
This game will always hold a special place in my heart, I bought my PS4 back in 2020 during the lockdown and thanks to both Unemployment and the Stimulus checks, I was able to purchase a lot of games I missed out on in previous years and Origins had me hooked and was the main game that staved my boredom during the lockdown. I actually purchased Odyssey first but because of my love for Ancient Egypt which I’ve been fascinated with since High School, I gravitated to Origins more than Odyssey and the character of Bayak, he was a n enjoyable protagonist and I wish we would’ve gotten a sequel with him returning as the protagonist
With the release status of most AC games being rough or worse, after the first and Brotherhood - it was a long time before I went back to Black Flag. After Origins kindled a spark that sales can validate, I went back and did play all in the series I missed and now were bug free - even the Vita release which was included with AC3 and Connor's game/DLC.
This is my first time playing it and got around level 30 and since it's my first assasin's creed game I love it and I am playing a stealth playstyle I never really liked rpg's type of games but I love how this game took the approach of not doing the same quest for dozens of time for just a speck of exp and instead give you side quest that you do whenever you wants so it gives a lot more freedom to exploration.
Having completed Valhalla and Odyssey in the last year, Mirage last month and Nexus on Wednesday, I had choices tonight... start Fate of Atlantis DLC or replay Black Flag, Unity or Origins. I am glad I did the latter. It is still awe inspiring. It is a brilliant bridge between the older titles and new RPGs. My fav AC along with 2 and b'hood.
Origins is by far my favorite game in the series, it has the best setting, protagonist, voice acting and gameplay. This is the only AC creed game I ever 100% completed
I really liked this review/revisit fusion. It's a really good video, as a fan, I can hear how passionate, and how much you really do love this game. Even in it's flaws. I was going to pick at you a little and say, how you gonna say AC has never had underwater exploration and movement this good until Origins, then in the next segment compliment AC:Black Flag on something different. BF had crazy fun underwater exploration,THEN I REMEMBERED, a lot of people had problems with the underwater segments in BF, such as the diving and exploring shipwrecks and stuff like that. It was incredibly difficult compared to any other part of the game. In particular, if you played on the higher difficulties the underwater missions weren't as violent and crazy as the legendary ship battles, but they were some of the hardest Stealth based missions in the game when on hard+. You done it with the Animus thing too, you commented on how you don't really have to do the modern world segments and just focus on immersing yourself in the core time period. I personally felt like AC:Black Flag incorporated that PERFECTLY. You had your modern day chapters and missions, but very few were required, for the most part, you had to do one mission just to not let your character get out of sync with the storyline. Which was HUGE for me, I had absolutely zero desire to play the entire modern part of the storyline the first playthrough, but I didn't get irritated because it only forced one mission on me and not every other chapter, so I knew I'd be back to singing shanties before long. Same with the "Fleet System" it was soooo cool, new, interesting and I had a blast with it. But I didn't even touch it till I played through the story first. But again, it didn't make me. I was truly in control of my game, which is a really nice feeling. But as you or anyone can tell, AC: Black Flag is my favorite in the series. So I also get like ahead of myself and will get hype and not realize I overshoot something when talking about it.
ngl i played this game for the first time like 3 years ago and it was insane i didnt know they even went this direction with ac so when i played it, it was so refreshing and the details like you were saying like wandering the desert amazed me
I’m glad to finally come across people that don’t constantly down this series. We get it, it’s not for everyone but I rather enjoy it. Also.. enjoy the content bro..
For me, what made the game well worth it was the side quests and all the little details that made the world feel alive. Even in the DLC, the world was rich but made sense despite being more fantasy RPG than AC.
ACO was literally my first time an AC game. AND I LOVED IT. I recently downloaded Black Flag & I’m interested in seeing how it compares to ACO. Bayek was awesome. But what was even more awesome was being able to explore a realistic rendition of ancient Egypt.
I remember when Origins first released (oh, I was so hyped!), my big impression was basically "if Unity was GTA III and Syndicate was Vice City, Origins is San Andreas", and I stand by that. And I mean it as a compliment. A big one. I really like all three of the "RPG" AC games, but I dunno, something about Origins is just magic. I've never actually COMPLETED Origins, though - finished the story and Hidden Ones DLC story, but didn't do all of the sidequests. Not sure why, as I loved the game. But I've got it lined up after Odyssey in this chronological historical order series playthrough I'm doing, and the good news is that I have a ton of content I've never played before, including the whole Curse of the Pharoahs DLC, waiting for me.

Bayek deserved a sequel.
The whole story deserved a sequel, in 2018 before we got Odyssey I was looking forward to a continuation set in Rome, the establishment of the brotherhood.
A sequal in Rome is ----- SUCH a good idea!!!!!!!
All the invasion too

Yes a sequel in Rome with Aya as the MC would be awesome. Have Bayek come in for part of the story too.

@@GodlyPlayer9163 True I just love the open world.
I'm not a gamer at all so I don't even know what games are like. But I bought this because it's such a work of art! It's beautiful! You can see it's a labor of love, not just putting the game during the time period, but bringing the world of this time to life. I love it!
@@GodlyPlayer9163what's downgrades? I play literally no computer or video games.
@@Amamkoncahuanquichu what I mean by downgrades, is that basic mechanics like parkour, stealth, combat, are worse, in almost every way (at least to me) in this game compared to like AC1 from 2007
Bayek is genuinely one of the greatest protagonists in video game history. Abubaka Salim's voice acting performance for him is phenomenal & utterly breathtaking, he nails the softer moments but is also terrifying during moments of rage. The character of Bayek himself is well written, a man of honour and you really believe his story. You trek across Egypt, taking on enemy after enemy, facing defying odds and not once does it feel forced, Bayek is determined and resolute in his mission. He feels totally natural and genuine in his surroundings of ancient Egypt. There's few protagonists I've genuinely loved, the likes of Niko Bellic, Master Chief, Geralt of Rivia, Ezio Auditore, Arthur Morgan, John Marston come to mind but Bayek of Siwa is right up there with them all. I just hope the next AC will be more like Origins rather than Odyssey and Valhalla.
What are your thoughts on edward kenway
@@mohamedkhider6998 Wasn't so memorable for me, although I played less of that AC.
Bayek is basically Egypt Conan the Barbarian and I think that's pretty cool.

And now we have marage
Bayek deserved a trilogy and Curse of the Pharaohs was peak
can i still fight Egyptian gods with standard edition?? or should i buy the gold edition?
@@vaskohunter357 if u think anubis,sekhmet and anubis trial that is in standard game,but fighting pharaohs u need both dlcs
6 Months?! You deserve way more man, you have talent for making videos, your editing and story telling is amazing, keep working hard, im sure you will be at 30k by the end of the year
He’s past that 🎉
HOW MANY MONTHS?!??!
I’m playing now. 60 hrs in. Maybe half way through main story. I find my self often climbing the highest point in whatever area I’m in and just gushing over how beautiful it is. Playing on a 65” LG OLED @ 4K Ultra settings. Gorgeous. When I finally get 100% I’m moving on to Odyssey, Valhalla and then Mirage. By the time I finish those Red and Hexe will be out and I’ll still be behind.
I wouldn’t worry about any of those games they all pale in comparison to this game. Mirage being the worst. I regret buying that game
@@BenjaminButton6573 hard disagree. Each has its own place. Never played mirage. But even Valhalla has its moments. If you like Origins and hate Odyssey you are bent. Both are great in their own ways. And both have their issues that are frustrating.
@@marinewillis1202valhalla was the only ac game i didn’t finish too long
Enjoy, don't worry about the other ones. My favorite out of those is Origins, overall. Odyssey is the most fun, Valhalla could be good but it's really really long, and that really took me out of the experience. Mirage is good.
Even though Valhalla is the last on my list, it's still a good game. So don't worry about it, I think you'll enjoy all of them.
@@BenjaminButton6573 Odyssey is the best AC ever created. I'll die on that hill.
Bayek is easily one of the best game protagonists ever, especially in AC. This game is definitely my favorite of the series, as well as the most interesting worlds to discover
Bayek is great but his story is stolen by Aya in the later stage of the main storyline in my opinion. It's actually not bad for storytelling, but it makes Bayek weak as the protagonist. Imagine a protagonist that doesn't kill the final boss
I'm a huge fan of Bayek and his story with Aya, and the bittersweet, affecting way the main game ends. Bayek is right up there with Ezio as a likeable character.
Honestly same there was so much they could have done with bayek sent him to Judea to maybe liberate some cities there or send him to Iberia or Rome like you said
I really recommend you to go and play something like GOW, Witcher 3, TLOU Part I and II, RDR2 etc. Then come back and tell me that Bayek is anywhere near being one of the best game characters
@@szaweu shut up nerd
I just started Origins for the first time yesterday, I hadn't jumped back into the A.C world since I got it on launch day in 07, stoked to have chosen this one, pretty epic so far
You lucky bastard. Enjoy 👌
I would like to erase my memories and play again you are so lucky brother
Did you complete it yet?
The characters and story of this game is enough to carry it. It’s one of the few games where I can recall the story beat by beat. But the gameplay makes its next level. it had me planning, setting up situations and taking my time to pick my shots and moments. You can’t just mash through some of the fights. On the flip side it gives you gives you opportunity to improvise. You can get in your head and pick your lines thinking about how to raid a military base only to find most of the guards are asleep and you can just clean house before anyone wakes up
Origins is a game you will get very rarely. It is very addicting and immersive that you want this game to go on and on and never end.
Just started playing this game and I’m also addicted. Just like me who hasn’t played the entire series, (played Unity and Syndicate only) Origins is like a stand alone game that’s more than enough for me to enjoy AC w/o having to play all.
My sentiments entirely. I barely paid any attention to the underlying AC story and just treated it as its own game.
Did we all collectively have the urge to start a new playthrough of Origins in the last few days? 😂
I started a NG+ last week in Nightmare mode and i'm absolutely loving it. Origins is such a good game, Bayek became my second favourite Assassins Creed protagonist after Ezio.
I know it’s like we’re all a hive mind I’m suprised this many people are all the sudden replaying origins lol
Just started 7 days ago after 6 years
Bro why is everyone drooling over ezio. He’s not that great.
@@aalderni origins is with Bayek the founder of assassins creed -hidden ones he is the best one out of all of them
@@bobby7005 He was good. Better then ezio. I like connor and shay the best
You know whats funny..
Deserts in Origins have mirages
Deserts in Mirage don't
Its evolving....but backwards
Except Mirage does indeed have mirages
Just played it through on nightmare last week. Had a blast. Now on to the next two RPG games on the hardest difficulty
man Ive been seeing you fot two weeks now, and thought that you were a well experienced youtuber until now, I think your content is awsome and your way of expressing and explaining things is great, you deserve this support, nice job ;)
The soundtracks really make you feel you are witnessing a magnificent civilization lost to time.❤
Ubsioft really screwed up by not giving bayek a sequel he truly is the best protagonist in all of Assassin's creed
first AC game i really played, i fell in love with the franchise thanks to bayek. I played it during covid, I used to stay up all night discovering new places, weapons, otufits. This game is not perfect, but it's special to me. I'd love a sequel.
Same🤝🤝
The hieroglyphs, temples, catacombs, and every little detail makes this game my favorite of all the assassins creed games. This game is a beautiful masterpiece.
came here right after my platinum, impeccable timing. awesome video man. cheers!
Origins for me was the best of the AC games and the only AC I got a Platinum trophy for, even the DLCs were excellent as well especially the Hidden Ones, that ending at the cave really did make you feel as if you were right at the start of the Creed.
This will be a long comment, but I liked Bayek so much. He is humble, he struggles sometimes silently and sometimes violently, he loses, he survives, and he learns to mourn, grieve, and move on. We follow him on what is arguably the most turmulous time of his life and through all the pain and frustration we see him put through he is kind, compassionate to those who need it most; never too busy to lend a helping hand, and he even finds time to see the humor in things sometimes. We see him at his absolute worst at first. Completely raged out, that’s how we are introduced to him. It’s shocking, it’s down right scary... And then we find out why, and see him manage through these feelings. By the end of the game he’s a different man again, he’s learned, he’s seen the worst in people and the best in others. We are with him throughout all that, and I find that very compelling, personally.
Krokodophilus is my favorite area in the game exploring the under water ruins/secret areas was really cool.
dude is so good at making clear and goog video with good rhytm that i thought he was making them from a long time. BIG props to you buddy insane videos
Origins is one of few games I don't want to use teleportation but just roam around the map.
hard to believe its been 6 years. i was a junior in highschool when origins came out and i remember everything about the day it released, i fell in love with AC again that day (even if origins wasnt the best title)
I stumbled upon this video after watching your more recent one, and after finishing the game four times, I have to agree that Assassin's Creed Origins is phenomenal. The content you put out really hits home and explains the game and its beauty well. I'm all here for it!
Origins and Odyssey are my two favourite AC games.. very different but with very unique and interesting worlds to explore.
This game deserved a trilogy
Origins was the first and only AC game I have played. I’ve been hesitant to play others because I don’t believe it can be matched. The music, the story, the gameplay, the history, the landscape, Bayek, everything. Love it.
I just got the PlayStation Portal and have been hooked on this game for a week now ! Can’t wait to get home from work and keep playing
you should make a video explaining the entire storyline of assassins creed
I'm at the end of the game, septimius and the Lion left.
I loved this video. I just navigated around spoilers for the finale
Damn 7 Months later now you are at 60k wow proud of you dude 💯💯
thanks man! crazy :o
Still play this game to this day it’s my favourite game in a historical setting ever made, I think it’s basically the best Egypt game ever made to.
I did a full playthrough of Origins a couple of years ago, ended up getting 100% achievements, and still wanted more. Such a great game.
Assassin's creed origins and odyssey was the best for me. Big map to explore a lot of things to discover and good story for both.
The 2 things I hated in Origins were level system and side missions.
- Level system was always making me do side content for the sake of having more xp, while in Odyssey and Valhalla although we still have that system I was never forced to do side content for the sake of xp.
- Side missions were just so boring, most were to rescue someone at a camp or fort.
I couldn’t agree more. Came here to say the same thing. The xp grind was frustrating when all I wanted to do was play the story. And it’s made worse with the “optional” xp bonuses you could buy with real world money.
I hate odyssey because of the constant xp grinding
I took the high road like everyone when the game released and every replay since has been NG+ so I can just do what many would prefer - whatever I want, whenever i want, and touch on the story quests as wanted. The grind of RPG in every game nowadays is tedious.
I hated the levelling up system in Odyssey! How the hell did that boar manage to level up as the same time as you?
The only old school AC I like was Black Flag. The new gen AC I like is Odyssey. The scenery in Odyssey is just something else.
Remember when they had that one final fantasy XV villain randomly appear? Pretty sick!
Been playing Origins since release. Took an unwanted break for a few yrs but this game remains a beautiful work of art.
340 hours in and counting 🦅⏳️
Looking back i think the Son of Ra was an Isu reincarnation, similar to Eivor and Sigurd, just his experience was so traumatizing that it reawoken his memories in a brutal way.
7:07 i don't know why but the way you said this phrase hit somewhere and something different. Sort of like how we play games to escape reality, by playing games we skip the main story which is actual life to get stuck into the worlds we make up inside ourselves.
the best part is when this game came out after the witcher 3 show the beauty of open world action rpg
and seeing the world map in Origins and you can explore egypt really incredible.
bro every city and town feels organic and real . like this is genuinely where what and how people would choose to build in this area .
I got Origins a few days ago & I now see what the hype was about & why I’ve heard nothing but good things on it for years. Odyssey was my first RPG AC & it soured it for me. Turns out Origins is superior in every way & has been fantastic to play
I always felt similarly about this game and about Bayek and thought it was something of a rare take, so I enjoyed this video. There was just a depth to Bayek and his motivations in a way that that just hasn't felt quite the same in the other AC games I've played.
ITS BEEN 8 YEARS??????
Loved Origins and the new shift in gameplay. But for some reason I was obsessed with Odyssey. I have almost 500 hours in that game and I didn't loved it that much 😅 it's just the world was crafted so beautifully and with exploration in mind. It felt really good running around.
I feel not enough people talk about the DLC for Origins.
The Hidden Ones felt like a fitting final chapter to Bayek's and Aya's story and the real foundation of the Hidden Ones and their creed. I love the twist with the final boss fight against Gamilat and how he's the only character in the story who accepts his death graciously, realizing his mistake of arming innocents in the end and giving his blessings to the Hidden Ones
Meanwhile The Curse of the Pharaohs just goes completely off the rails. After dabbling with some fantastical elements in the main game like the god boss fights, this DLC has you fighting ghosts of dead pharaohs (resurrected through the Apple of Eden) and visiting simulations of the Egyptian afterlife to put their souls to rest. While it drags on a bit too long IMO it's just pure dumb endgame fun
yeah, Origins is a great game. I'm at level 38 now. It got a versatile map which includes the high density vegetation, desert, mountains, fields, croco and bird or leopard lairs.... I really enjoy playing that. recently I tried some other popular multiplayer games and I hate those. These single player games are good to use for a nice day-off summer. Ubisoft really did wonderful. And yes, I didn't face any bugs or glitches. I didn't had any issue lead me to restart the game or the quest. graphics are awesome also. When I get hyped up, I just turn on to ultra graphics and enjoy the view, and when I'm grinding I just stay on high graphics. even medium is great for a game that represents a world most of us didn't experienced in real life.❤❤❤
Dude I’m playing through this game rn and it’s so amazing. I think this was the last true assassins creed game we saw. I am playing without the xp boost cuz I hate myself, and I love the way this game incentivizes knowing your surroundings and using the shadows to your advantage
190 hours in this game. Probably the best modern AC game
@user-lp6fd9ex9e mirror 🪞. Check in on it.
@GREATIMPERATOR I have one. The game has been out over 5 years. Jack ass
Origins and Odyssey have their pros and cons. Origins had a narrative that felt more refined and thought out. It also had a giant map. But it lacked replayability. Odyssey is less thought out but has a bigger map with features that make you go around the map to replay the game’s content.
Origins is my favorite AC game. I still download it every now and then and play it. Just get lost in the world. I absolutely love this game so much!
So glad you mentioned the memory corridors! Origins probably has the best I've seen in the series out of the games I've played thus far
I haven't played any AC game in a long time, but I find myself thinking about Origins a lot. I can't quite put my finger on what draws me to it other than the setting, but there's definitely more that makes me want to play again. Origins and Black Flag are my favorites in the franchise.
Just restarted this game 6 years later. One of the best AC no doubt
This is the first game in a long time that I get lost in and end up playing it for hours without even noticing this is a good game this is what you get when developers actually try to
I’m a big supporter of Assassins Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. So going from those to this was crazy at first. However, this game is amazing. Setting alone is perfect, filled with rich history and an amazing protagonist. 10/10
Video format is great, whole video is good stuff(big Origins fan here🗿) and congratulations 🎉 on 28k!!!
Nice video, fyi in the latest update Ubisoft removed the heka chest, the only way of getting store legendary's, out of nowhere.
I love that they spent so much research on the game that some teacher took the discovery mode for teaching about ancient egypt
great video but the game is not set in Ancient Egypt, that happened before, the game is set in what's called roman egypt and Ptolemaic kingdom
Origins is for sure top 5 all-time games for me.
Just replayed odyssey and beat the brakes off of it and was debating on whether or not I was gonna replay this one. Your video made my mind up, and I'll be starting it tonight. Have a sub
And game is optimized very good, i play on super budget gt 1030, i5 2400 and 6 gb ddr3 ram, i get constant 45 fps. It has fps drops first like 10 minutes but after that is constant. While in Unity i get 30 fps on medium settings. Its really a surprise Ubisoft optimized game this good
The issue isn't the game's massive world or abundance of content. The real problem is the monotonous, repetitive gameplay that forces players to perform the same mundane tasks repeatedly. This predictable grind inevitably leads to player boredom and a loss of interest, regardless of how expansive or visually impressive the game world might be.
15:49 I thought he was gonna transition into a betterhelp therapy ad😂😂
Origins felt more ancient to me than Odyssey but in the AC timeline Odyssey was based around 300 years before Origins.
The fact you can attack and swim at the same time is pretty revolutionary. Most games don't let you do both at once
I dont want believe its been 8 years
Honestly I loved Origins and Odyssey for their worlds and gameplay/story compared to previous titles. Gotta say, I enjoyed both of those over the older AC games
I'm hooked again now! I completed the main story last year for the first time! Came back to it this year but I'm going through it from scratch on PS5 and doing all the sides etc this time
I think the fanbase would be MORE than happy for a Bayek sequel, hes a great character with a great motive and voice actor.
His young son was killed by the order and he went on a journey of revenge until he realised the rot of the order went deeper than his own personal issues with them.
He lives in a great time period for the game with tonnes of potential. He could travel the whole of Asia, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and North Africa, setting up hidden ones bases across the area and dismantling the order in those regions, meeting historical figures and helping them or stopping them in their goals and spreading his Medjay ideals.
Ultimately the final game of his story would see him return to egypt for one final "battle" with the order and he would come to rest where we find him in the modern day story arc.
Bayek has potential to be the new Ezio and if Ubisoft would just commit to a character we could have peak AC again with a character players could finally become attached to.
If you want to extend and enhance your experience of both Origins and Odyssey try playing Discovery mode in first person mode! You can really appreciate details such as friezes on walls, fur on animals and the stitching on flour bags in close up and don't have to worry about getting eaten by crocodiles!
Great video man!
Appreciate it!
This game will always hold a special place in my heart, I bought my PS4 back in 2020 during the lockdown and thanks to both Unemployment and the Stimulus checks, I was able to purchase a lot of games I missed out on in previous years and Origins had me hooked and was the main game that staved my boredom during the lockdown. I actually purchased Odyssey first but because of my love for Ancient Egypt which I’ve been fascinated with since High School, I gravitated to Origins more than Odyssey and the character of Bayak, he was a n enjoyable protagonist and I wish we would’ve gotten a sequel with him returning as the protagonist
I never got bored in Origins. Even the side activities were good
27:05 this is why you should never pick up the poison skill for predator bows. You're killing innocent horses :(
Just now playing Origins , and I love it. I also love Syndicate for how big the map is compared to the ones before.
With the release status of most AC games being rough or worse, after the first and Brotherhood - it was a long time before I went back to Black Flag. After Origins kindled a spark that sales can validate, I went back and did play all in the series I missed and now were bug free - even the Vita release which was included with AC3 and Connor's game/DLC.
This is my first time playing it and got around level 30 and since it's my first assasin's creed game I love it and I am playing a stealth playstyle I never really liked rpg's type of games but I love how this game took the approach of not doing the same quest for dozens of time for just a speck of exp and instead give you side quest that you do whenever you wants so it gives a lot more freedom to exploration.
Having completed Valhalla and Odyssey in the last year, Mirage last month and Nexus on Wednesday, I had choices tonight... start Fate of Atlantis DLC or replay Black Flag, Unity or Origins. I am glad I did the latter. It is still awe inspiring. It is a brilliant bridge between the older titles and new RPGs. My fav AC along with 2 and b'hood.
Truly underrated. One of the most accurate depictions of history ive ever seen in a AAA title. Felt like AC1 again.
Origins is by far my favorite game in the series, it has the best setting, protagonist, voice acting and gameplay. This is the only AC creed game I ever 100% completed
I really liked this review/revisit fusion. It's a really good video, as a fan, I can hear how passionate, and how much you really do love this game. Even in it's flaws.
I was going to pick at you a little and say, how you gonna say AC has never had underwater exploration and movement this good until Origins, then in the next segment compliment AC:Black Flag on something different. BF had crazy fun underwater exploration,THEN I REMEMBERED, a lot of people had problems with the underwater segments in BF, such as the diving and exploring shipwrecks and stuff like that. It was incredibly difficult compared to any other part of the game. In particular, if you played on the higher difficulties the underwater missions weren't as violent and crazy as the legendary ship battles, but they were some of the hardest Stealth based missions in the game when on hard+.
You done it with the Animus thing too, you commented on how you don't really have to do the modern world segments and just focus on immersing yourself in the core time period. I personally felt like AC:Black Flag incorporated that PERFECTLY. You had your modern day chapters and missions, but very few were required, for the most part, you had to do one mission just to not let your character get out of sync with the storyline. Which was HUGE for me, I had absolutely zero desire to play the entire modern part of the storyline the first playthrough, but I didn't get irritated because it only forced one mission on me and not every other chapter, so I knew I'd be back to singing shanties before long. Same with the "Fleet System" it was soooo cool, new, interesting and I had a blast with it. But I didn't even touch it till I played through the story first. But again, it didn't make me. I was truly in control of my game, which is a really nice feeling.
But as you or anyone can tell, AC: Black Flag is my favorite in the series. So I also get like ahead of myself and will get hype and not realize I overshoot something when talking about it.
ngl i played this game for the first time like 3 years ago and it was insane i didnt know they even went this direction with ac so when i played it, it was so refreshing and the details like you were saying like wandering the desert amazed me
I’m glad to finally come across people that don’t constantly down this series. We get it, it’s not for everyone but I rather enjoy it. Also.. enjoy the content bro..
For me, what made the game well worth it was the side quests and all the little details that made the world feel alive. Even in the DLC, the world was rich but made sense despite being more fantasy RPG than AC.
ACO was literally my first time an AC game. AND I LOVED IT. I recently downloaded Black Flag & I’m interested in seeing how it compares to ACO. Bayek was awesome. But what was even more awesome was being able to explore a realistic rendition of ancient Egypt.
Origins was the first AC games that made me want to play the series I absolutely loved it
So much detail and the setting they got pretty much spot on
I remember when Origins first released (oh, I was so hyped!), my big impression was basically "if Unity was GTA III and Syndicate was Vice City, Origins is San Andreas", and I stand by that. And I mean it as a compliment. A big one. I really like all three of the "RPG" AC games, but I dunno, something about Origins is just magic.
I've never actually COMPLETED Origins, though - finished the story and Hidden Ones DLC story, but didn't do all of the sidequests. Not sure why, as I loved the game. But I've got it lined up after Odyssey in this chronological historical order series playthrough I'm doing, and the good news is that I have a ton of content I've never played before, including the whole Curse of the Pharoahs DLC, waiting for me.
I played Odyssey first and honestly enjoyed it to the point where I got all the DLC. But Origins honestly is my favorite of the new trio. It felt pure
I think Odyssey is the better ''game'' but Origins has the better story and assassinations by far.
