      I Trevelyan I I know it’s just, like, your opinion man but there’s already loads of criticism regarding his writing on RUclips. I would describe him as a man who’s given a loud speaker and shout incoherent words into it, thinking he’s saying something meaningful. The suspension of disbelief required to enjoy his work is beyond my ability perhaps but I don’t think there are many people failing to notice his awkward reference to the civil right movement in D:BH that draw parallel between African descend American with robots.

    The only thing that shocked me is that it's taken you this long to get bored of Assassins Creed

    • @NightmareBlade10
      @NightmareBlade10 5 лет назад +22

      In my opinion it just seems like Odyssey is just an AC rip off of Shadow of Mordor/War which ripped off AC. Strange how many of the spartan abilities and perks seem really tame in comparison to those you can find in the LOTR versions. Though I haven't played all that much of odyssey because the combat was just super repetitive and it just pissed me off that I spent around five hours straight trying to beat the first bounty hunter despite him being a couple levels higher than me. Makes no sense how you can't even assassinate in a game called Assassin's Creed and instead will get your ass handed to you by some enemy they literally have chase you within the first hour of gameplay. Oh well, those are just my thoughts on it though. Nothing will ever compare to Brotherhood I guess.

    • @NightmareBlade10
      @NightmareBlade10 5 лет назад +12

      @GiRayne I dunno man. I come from games like Dragon's Dogma and Dark Souls that are pretty damn linear despite having huge and complex areas you can navigate and progression seems obvious. I don't understand what the point is in having an open world game that punishes you for exploring. If the game is meant to be linear, then make it linear. If it was meant to open world and fully explorable then I feel as if there shouldn't be some sort of ridiculous impossible obstacle preventing you from going that way. Dark souls is a skill based game in which you could explore new areas if you were cautious, and yet AC just sends some tanky NPC after you for apparently no reason other than giving you something to avoid. In Shadow of Mordor the Nemesis system allowed you to systematically reduce the enemies chain of command while introducing you to unique and interesting minibosses with their own backstories and personalities. It makes sense for them to hunt you, and for you to hunt them in turn, but I don't see how this is beneficial in ACO. It just irks me that they would let you wander wherever you want but end up punishing you when you encounter an enemy. I feel as if that's a cheap way to artificially administer challenge by making your character reliant only on his equipment and severely handicapping player skill. Combat in these new RPG AC games just don't feel well to me as it's just a load of attacking and countering. There's no real skill to it because even unparriable attacks are super obvious and easily avoided. This just isn't my type of game because I was expecting two different things: Either a traditional old school AC game that focusses on asassination, or a RPG that gives the player wide ranges of choice in character progression and exploration. I've played the likes of Elex, which had shit combat and all story (not saying ACO doesnt have well polished combat, it just isnt that engaging when the challenge is supplemented by tanky enemies) and could never wrap my head around how that could be a pleasant experience to anyone. Maybe I haveny played ACO enough yet but it just doesn't seem to live up to my expections.

      @GiRayne I've not played an Ass Creed game for ages but I'm really enjoying odyssey. Combat isn't just stand there and wait to press the counter button anymore. I'm liking the different weapons like spears and staffs (staves?). My only issue with the game is the same issue I have with most rpgs, it's just such a time commitment. So many games go for the open world thing but don't fill the world with enough interesting stuff, I would say odyssey is doing a better job than most but I'll be skipping a lot of the notice board stuff that just seems like time killing.

Remembering Subnautica got a good review from Yahtzee I took a punt on it and was hooked from the start. It was my first survival / crafting game so I was a bit clueless at the start but soon got into it. As soon as my first playthrough was done I immediately started again with food and water requirements on, I enjoyed it that much. I've also recently finished another playthrough of Below Zero, which is also great.

      George Lucas changed every aspect of the entertainment industry, from when the credits roll, to how special effects are done, all wrapped up in neo-myths that resonate with everyone.
      David Cage popularized a style of gameplay that was adopted by one other studio who had one or two successes and then collapsed. He made quicktime events become half of every other game since then, while trying to be deep by asking questions science fiction authors answered 70 years ago.
