I'm sorry to say this. Assassins Creed 1 and 2 are fucking amazing games. But Assassins Creed Origins is the best game I've ever played.
You gotta play more games bro
TheCrimsonFuckr it's hard living at home one week and living in a work camp the week after, recurring and tryna play all sorts of games ay. I usually stick to a few and move on when I'm sick of the game
It’s a great game but to say it’s the best game you have ever played interesting because the best game I’ve played this year is horizon zero dawn
elliott j-s-r I'm a sucker for Assassin's Creed always have been. Horizon Zero Dawn great, still waiting for the Dlc
You need to sound less pathetic.
It’s a great game, bayek he is more relatable, the thing I like about him there is a soft side of him, a fatherly figure. I see in the cutscene he is more peaceful when he sees a kid. Sometimes he is funny.
Armani Nguon honestly one of my favorite parts is the Scarab arc. From meeting the little boy and being friendly to him, to saving his grandfather, to meeting his father and giving him the wooden toy, to having to kill his dad because he’s the Scarab. The look of sorrow when he’s walking away from the boy screaming that he hates him, I thought it was one of the best parts of the story.
Charsinigan Hoodish the little kid grows up and revenges his fathers death
Raphael G. Yeah then he joins the hidden one lol
Julio Abraham Madjan Well his father was the one who cut his grandfather's tongue.
and sometimes he's fucking terrifying
No doubt Ashraf saved this series twice. Black Flag and now Origins are the best in the franchise
Diewott1 Gamer umm Black Flag was very well received but if that makes you feel better, then sure
Diewott1 Gamer it was well received by fans and critics alike.... saying it killed the series is pretty preposterous. But we are on the internet I suppose.
Diewott1 Gamer Desmond or no Desmond, the modern day was always debatably shitty. Edward Kenway was a good character not because he was badass but because he had a motive which obviously changed throughout the story and I found him to be rather interesting. I hate to break it to you but good characters don’t have to be a fucking edgelord. And the story part of things is pretty much the reason how and why Haytham ended up where he was as none of that would’ve happened if Edward never sailed for England with his daughter.
Hate it or love it. I could give a shit. But the numbers and sales don’t lie. Ac has had some *horrendous* games but Ac4 wasn’t one of them. I’ve said my piece.
Diewott1 Gamer Dude, Ac4 was liked by the majority of fans out there. Idk what made you think it killed the series or whatever but even Ashraf himself was very pleased with what Ac turned out to be. Your paragraphs are very opinionated versus the guy in here who actually put up an argument (as well as the original guy)
Diewott1 Gamer and just because you hate something doesn’t mean it’s bad
It goes both ways buddy
It did saved the series. I want another game with bayek not a trilogy but just one more he's a cool character.
Evil Dead It depends what is next AC will be on, And they will pit fitting character I agree i wish bayek would be there ubisoft won't do that.
YO_ LONOL We can only hope :).
Evil Dead xD yeah.
It changed BIG time. It definitely saved the series.
XxJigsaw_GamesxX in gameplay and looks but the story no the Proof is the beginning of the game is 2 cut scenes
Yeah it's much better imo, even the story is good though it feels a bit tacked on. I really like the way they deal with cutscenes(most of the time) though, everything feels fluid and natural like you're actually in control
totally agree. Best assassins creed game Ive ever played, hands down.
What? How is the game in any way like Skyrim? If you're trying to say that it's been dumbed down like Skyrim was compared to the others in the TES series then you're wrong (Same goes if you're saying the game is actually like Skyrim, it's nothing like Skyrim, it's more along the lines of The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn). The combat isn't dumbed down and now actually offers mpre of a challenge than the easily done 1 hit kill streaks you get in past AC games, sure they're more stylish but gets old too damn fast and too easy..especially after 10 years of the same thing. Combat is more personal now and fun and reminds me of a lite-Dark Souls when fighting the the tougher bosses. It's not as punishing as Souls but great nonetheless. Every weapon class requires you to approach combat differently (take part in the pit fights and you can see this perfectly), they're not just simply different animations. Your character no longer does flashy moves almost completely on their own, you have to do that now. You have much more control than before, very far from shallow...
I agree with the lack of a backstory regarding the characters, I was disappointed when seeing there was no Animus Database you could check out and you were limited by the notes on the loading screens and Layla's own observations that are available on during the present day (Which makes sense) and I think the game would've benefited greatly from it since I'm not as familiar with Ancient Egypt as I am with the past settings. What you do learn of these characters through the game on the other hand is done well and doesn't give you(And the developers, they actually had to do more than type it in a separate menu, they had to actually present it in the game in a natural way that doesn't feel out of place) a cheat sheet like the Animus Database, the game doesn't just hold your hand and tell you every single thing through a cutscene(or take the easy way out and rely on the Database to tell you), there's alot of information you can find in the World which I consider to be superior way to present a story and something else that reminds me of the Souls series. You learn so much about the setting's back story through the environment and exploring whether it's from journals or by listening to the townfolk which is a nice trade off from the Database (though I admit I'd rather have both, I don't see why they both couldn't both be done but I'm not complaining about it). Add all that with the fact that there's almost a functioning ecosystem in the game where animals don't just simply attack but eat whatever it is they were hunting and you've got an Egypt that feels very alive. That's far from shallow
Everything you said about the climbing is wrong, there's not a straight climb path on every building and alot of them require you to change up how you do it and it takes significantly longer to climb than it does on past AC's, it hasn't been simplified. The Pyramids on the other hand don't take as long to climb as they should and that's a good thing, it would take too damn long to climb if it was realistically done (As would just about everything else in the entire AC series, none of them are realistic). They do take longer to climb than other areas and it's not the same as climbing the other buildings.
This bit right here has me wondering if you've even done any of the sidequests.. There's not an over-abundance(no where near as dramatic as 1,000) of them and every single one I've done so far(which is almost all of them) supports the narrative and helps flesh out the different areas and people in those areas. Every single one so far has served a purpose in the game's world, none of it is like the faceless side quests you find in past AC's (I'm not talking about the past side stories like with Leonardo, etc) that are bordering on Fallout 4's repetitive radiant quests.
This is another one where you're completely wrong, the crafting.. Unless you bought resources using your own money(if so then you can't really complain about it not taking long since you laid for it to be sped up) then there's no way you were able to max out your gear quicker than you did in the last titles. Most of the resources are easily obtained (Like how everything was in the past AC's) but the Carbon Crystals aren't, they're required to max your gear and they're not readily available just anywhere which is one of my complaints about the game, it's something that feels like the developers done in order to get players to buy from the Shop because of the amount it takes to max your gear(only 3 each for your arrows and pouch but 8+ for your hidden blade, bracers, and chest piece).
This game has a poor excuse for a first Civ story because it's not a first Civ story and wasn't supposed to be, it's the Origin of the Brotherhood. There is an obvious first Civ presence in the game and you can go find it in different areas but that's not what this game is about.
This post is already way too damn long and there's more I could go into but like I said, this is already way too long but as far as "SAVING THE SERIES" I agree, it's restored interest into a great series that's become mass produced causing it to go downhill lately.
Mitch H sorry no 2 is the best hands down Always will be the amount of customization you can do is superior to even this game gameplay wise this is the best but 2 is just something they keep trying to replicate but it literally made the most improvements in any Ac game ever period
My favorite AC game yet.
The Ezio Trilogy had a better story IMO.
But when it comes to the fun factor, I think this is the best one.
Hi swifty
Could not agree more
What ruined it for me is the leveling up system I cant even play some missions because I'm not a high enough level.
Is no one ever going to mention how this guy sounds exactly like Shaun?
Lie Ren Holy shit
*h o l y s h i t*
🤯
Who?
Shaun?
this dude sounds like shawn hastings from the ac modern day
Shocko boy omg
Shocko boy Not at all lol
Shocko boy not even a little bit
Akira Kurusu finally smeone agrees
Not all English people sound the same
nice vid! people can have different opinions of course but from what i’ve seen, it looks like ashraf and his team put lots and lots of love and effort into origins, and it definitely shows.
Yeah he saved the series 😀
Dude, the only thing they need to do now is make an assassins creed set in feudal japan.
Vyktar fucking weebs
Look up the trailer for "Ghost of Tsushima". It may be right up your alley.
What about the platformer?
We have Ghost of Tsushima, no need for an AC set in feudal Japan
Trap Boolin So what, is any mention of japan now mean that someone has a body pillow now a days?
I’m glad to say that I’m loving this game. It’s a really nice change up to the series. Though, I think the story is kinda sloppy, not bad, but sloppy. Origins generally is a good step in the right direction. For the next one, they should focus on making the story great, polish the fighting mechanics, facial animations/voice acting, and keep up the innovation train, and we’ll be getting some REALLY good games in my opinion! I really love the setting too, I sorta wish that we could stay in ancient times for a couple games longer. We could go back to Rome (which would be fucking awesome), ancient Greece (also awesome), Persia (though, we’d end up with a bunch of “Assassin’s Creed became Prince of Persia” jokes). If we had to stray away from the ancient setting, we’ve gotta go to Feudal Japan, I’ll keep saying that until we get it. I WANT JAPAN!!!
Dr. Nope Ubisoft said this is a start to a trilogy
captinbatman89 MJMR You’re shitting me?! If that’s the case then that’s awesome!
captinbatman89 MJMR wasnt that just rumors?
Simon Andersson Yeah, I just looked it up. They were rumors started by a fake leak, so it probably won’t happen.
Dr. Nope it depends i guess, bayek is an interesting character
Being stealthy with the blade and bow is the way to play origins, the new combat system is amazing but getting in a swordfight with multiple enemies is a lot harder than it used to be! I wish they kept some of the parkour from unity though
Ross Curran Yeah tried to take on multiple guys and got my arse handed to me. You can't really play it like the old ones and be a one man army.
I like playing both ways. Playing Stealthy with the predator bow is really fun. But I also like challenging a group of guards with a cursed weapon for a challenge. You just have to be good at dodging and parrying
That is a huge lie, the only thing different about the combat is that you cant just parry and kill everyone, i still run in to huge groups of people and kill them the same that i did in all previous Assassin's Creed games I've played
that's what I like though. you actually CAN get in over your head. getting into mid-late game you have to take on the enemy encampments thoughtfully most of the time.
The new combat system is garbage.
Bayek is, without a doubt the best character in the series since Ezio.
Honorable and bound to his duty as a medjah, a father and husband, and extremely likeable.
This being the origins of the assassins gave it way more wiggle room in both plot and character development where Arno, Jacob and at times Evie seemed to be more concerned with their own personal vendettas and not with the creed, Bayek's moments that deviate from the path can be forgiven as no path has been forged, he and Aya are the trail blazers here. Their vendetta is what drove them, but something greater sprung forth from it.
I was disappointed with both Unity and Syndicate because it wasn't true to the story, but Origins did indeed save the series and I'm very much looking forward to the next one, especially if we still get it centered on Bayek & Aya or the early age of the assassins.
I am an Assassin's Creed fan, and even I was critical of this game's combat and animation when I saw the demo gameplay. But playing it personally has changed my opinion of this game. This is every bit as good, if not better than AC 4 was.The story starts off slow, but builds up amazingly, the loot boxes can be bought with in game money @ 3000 drachmas a pop, which isn't bad at all, since the game is *MASSIVE* , and has a lot to do. Also, this game has the best side quests I've played after The Witcher 3. They are meaningful and unique, and only a very few are "fetch quests", and even then,those don't feel tedious. Cities are well populated, and feel alive. The AI isn't dumb as rocks like the previous AC games,but they're not amazing either, so there's that. All in all a *VERY* solid 8.5/10, which,after the last few bungled attempts, is a Godsend. *ALSO MOTHERFUCKING SHIP BATTLES BOIII*
TOP KEKyoin The side quests are ok, but that doesn't compensate for throwing away the best combat and parkour system in gaming just to pump out another generic hack and slash. I got bored with this combat system the first time I played it, about fifteen years before Assassin's Creed came out. This better not be the future of the franchise. You think you got bored running around opening hidden chests..
cindercatz so youd rather sit there wait to press B to counter and then kill everyone else just by spamming x
The one thing i actually dislike about this game was the ship battles. I mean don't get me wrong i f***ing LOVE captaining an ancient greek trireme, but holy grandma urine stain the controls were just utter crap.
Otherwise i loved just about everything in this game
lol fair enough XD.
well I used to hate the combat while watching on youtube also, but you'll start to feel it when you play. Not great but OK. i don't love it but neither hate it.
Everyone talks about Feudal Japan, I want a Vikings story. Could travel in a boat, fight saxons, I think large scale battles would be interesting having to really utilize your shield next to your kinship brothers and sisters. Have a Senu but make it a raven. Make the world diverse like Origins so you can travel to Iceland, Greenland, Paris. Show the beliefs of the norsemen while relating it to the storyline of the Assassins. I’d love it lol
Juno could be Frigg
The problem with a raven would be, that in every AC you have eagle vision, and that the AC mark is a eagle skull, so a raven wouldn’t fit, but that would be a good idea with the viking story, but at the end for me the most important thing is the apple of adam or just the gods artifacts and a good finish would be AC in the today’s time
Same, I've been claiming this for the last two years and I can guarantee within the next two ac there will be a norse themed game 😉
youre getting it lol
Congratulations, it came out
I've play just less than 2 hours so far but i love it, great improvements from last games...
The reason why I love this game so much, is because it reminds me of the witcher 3
nebulous stargate it’s true👍
Jakub Hejna The Witcher 3 was boring with a very simple story and very boring antagonists. There is no freedom at all for a game that claims to be an RPG and running around fighting monsters and hunting them isn’t exactly entertaining for a long period of time. You can’t even bring up assassins creed to argue against me before you attempt to because I never mentioned it once and I’m simply stating that he Witcher 3 is overrated as fuck and gets boring and repetitive and is boring once you finish the story. I mean for fucks sake it’s almost as overrated as he last of us, but I bet you think that’s a masterpiece too. There is no such thing as a masterpiece when you talk about video games because they’re made to be enjoyed not worshiped. Video games aren’t art so get the fuck over yourself.
There's no game that can claim to be a perfect masterpiece, but that will also not stop them from being enjoyable experiences. Who says the Witcher 3 needs to be worshiped? It has flaws, but that does not prevent it from being enjoyed by many due to its production value compared to other similar Triple Ayyyy games. As someone who see beyond the hype and quit the Witcher 3 at the 3/4 mark because its boring, I say let them have their fun while they have it cos we have our own versions of fun.
Me too
Me too
Saved series for me, definitely. Hope they skip a year again and give us another ancient culture...Rome, China, Aztec... Whatever 😊
zulwe they actually planned to do philippines first, but they decided to do Egypt. which is also a good decision, Although I'm looking forward to see Philippines either the timeline there would be the Spanish era or the American era where the philippines has been sold to the US
We already had Rome.
zulwe rome is done already
zulwe I want something set in Japan. Like with Samurai's or something like that. Something like Nioh (even though that's Chinese culture)
I think anyways
Seriously Ubisoft. KEEP ASHRAF ISMAIL!! He saved the series twice.
Mr Zeeno who?
The creative Director of AC4: Black Flag and AC: Origins
Mr Zeeno Not gonna lie didn’t know he directed them, but both were favourites in the series (excluding ezios storyline). (Fuck syndicate, ac3, unity)
:)
I only knew who Ashraf was since the start of October. You are not alone. :)
Adam W There's a great game behind all the "problems" with AC3 and Unity. You just have to look for it.
I played Origins first, then went to check Syndicate and put it down after 20 mins. Origins is a work of art.
Been a fan of the AC series from the start and I began to lose faith when Syndicate dropped. ALTHOUGH, I completely have to say that this game is phenomenal, well thought through, and something the fans truly deserve. Amazing game and I give Ubisoft my money, happily this time
Why do all reviewers say ancient egypt? Egypt ca 50 bc isn’t ancient egypt, like at all. We’re talking something like 1000 years off...
Because it technically is ancient Egypt. we still call that period in relation to Rome Ancient Rome when teaching History.
Bevin Warren Calling Egypt in the Ptolemaic era ”Ancient Egypt” really is pushing it. I don’t teach history in school so I would’t know about that but for me that title is reserved to the Old, Middle and New Kingdom. Not the tail-end of a declining civilization. As has been said by others: Cleopatra is closer to Neil Armstrong in time than the pharaohs who started building pyramides...
Oh I agree, but Cleopatra's Egypt is seen by quite a few as being the end of the Ancient Egypt... Same can be said of Rome with the Roman Republic/Empire and then Twin Empires.
heimdal8 I know right, this time period is within the new kingdom, ancient Egypt is typically the period when the "old kingdom" was still alive
Yo Momma i think they did it to include more characters like romans,its not like making it 3000 more years in the past woulda made the game more expensive or something
There is also a quest called "Are you not entertained?" Which is referencing Gladiator
I'm at 97% of the game. It's indeed 'the necessary improvement' over the previous titles.
Still the storytelling falls short in comparison to the Witcher 3. And there are too much boring (side) quests.
yeah true, try parkour in ac games before origin... u easily get piss off because the character always jump or climb on wrong way, sometime u jumping to the wall for no reason... and sometime u jumping from the wall to dead for no reason.
Lol, I think it's a bit unfair to compare AC origins to one of the best video game in this generation.
Jakub Hejna those are optional. You are not forced to do side quests at all
Detmer What the side quests have a unique touch on them. It rarely feels the same like the other.
Gordon Freeman no man it's not unfair, if it was well written like the previous AC games (everything before unity was well written and deep) origins could have been way better than the witcher 3 (or at least equal but different which would have been great) but we lost the emotions and philosophy that were present in every old gen AC games. I don't know if you guys remember but before, when you killed someone, his last words were making you doubt, you were feeling sad for them and their way to see the world was understandable, in AC origins, everytime you kill someone you are like "yeah yeah shut up who is next", none of your target is interesting to listen at, they were all doing horrible stuff only for power and wealth which was their final goal, not just a way to obtain something bigger like haytham who only wanted peace for example and still fighted and believed in changes even though the Templars ruined his life. In this game you are a kind of white knight killing Templars cuz... they are evil just to be evil. All of them are so forgetable and you never feel any emotions in this game they focused more on bullshit fire sword, mounts, shield making smoke, shiny unassassiny outfits or even worse, magical outfits like the fkn mummy outfit with red eyes or the fkn Anubis burning outfits to impress 10 years old kids instead of focusing on the story. Instead of being a masterpiece, AC origins is decent or just fine at best, such a waste, the AC series isn't for ppls who play a game only for the graphics and gameplay, and personally, If I want to play a game for its gameplay I will definitely go for a multi-player game instead of killing stupid bots, if you buy a battlefield game for the story and except something from the scenario you are doing something wrong, same thing for AC games sure the parlour plus stealth gameplay is fun, but the story is the most important thing and AC origins is just a shame for the series in terms of story. If you still believe it's not true, just imagine the ezio trilogy with the graphics, RPG and exploration gameplay like origins origins would be considered to be shit if it was made with the same technical restrictions than previous ac games or just imagine if previous AC games were made with origins'engine, origins would be one of the worst AC game ever.
Although not perfect, this is still far better than Syndicate and Unity. This is what you get when you don't get carried away with the money. A much better game. I wish others followed suite.
Живко Јанкулоски I would go as far as saying it's better than AC 3,rougue and black flag.
Живко Јанкулоски you didn't mention 3 and Rogue. Origins eats those games for breakfast.
Clabus Vile | Nahh. The story is still nowhere near what the Ezio Trilogy, or what all the Desmond games offered.
Baroque Chevalier Noir | Rogue is not a mainstream game, and I wouldn't have mentioned it even if I mentioned 3, but I'm not mentioning 3 either since I'm really into Desmond's story and all games before Unity were about it. I believe it's a good game for it's time. Very underrated.
I actually really enjoyed unity. I just wish it was a little more polished, but it was still a great game!
This is the best AC game in my opinion so far. Even after 50 hours of constantly exploring and completing missions, I still have the feeling like I'm only half way. That means the world is pretty big lol
This might be the best one. The world is amazing and the music fits with it so well, it will honestly send shivers down your spine for real.
Agree, apart from the Ezio ones. They will always be the best ;-)
"The game is absolutely gorgeous"
*Bushes popping into existence less than 5 feet in front of him*
Gorgeous bushes nevertheless...
Ay yo, I gotta be truthful with you boys. Those are some nice looking bushes.
i.imgur.com/QMIU2cl.jpg
Consoles...
Ieuan Griffiths I play on pc and no bushes pop in front of me. not bagging on console because I play that too but I'm sure they had to do graphical tweeks so the game could run smoothly on console.
I really hope bayek will be a legend like Altair and Ezio!
Max McDougall thats a bit the problem
I like bayek but I really think ezio and altair were somehow some kind of mythic and epic
waaaazzzzzuuuuuppppp eh, Altair wasn’t that great in my opinion. I fell in love with Ezios storyline and I’m doing the same with Bayek. Both are on the same level for me. Hope there’s a sequel with Bayek planned just like they did with Ezio. Just saying, would be call to see him go to Pompai or Rome or something...
F5maintenance no he is not it's his wife aya aka amunet who is the original founder of the assassins creed aka the hidden ones as she finally dawns the hood at 1 of the penultimate scenes of the game
Do you know why most Creed leaders do not know the existence of it's founder? Because Bayek was the "hidden one" he wishes to remain anonymous after founding the creed. In which in this case, Aya / Amunet took the role as a leader to strengthen the bureau throughout Europe. Amunet was the only known founder ever since.
This type of gameplay might work in a rustic setting like this, but wouldn't work well in a more modern setting. That would make it hard to pull off a second time.
Ian McNeely I want another crusade game...
Dunno it'S a system that is actually pretty close to Far Cry, wich you can hardly have more modern
And you were completely right. That's why they went with the same mechanical structure for a Greek and Viking themed games.
Good points well made. Glad to know I'm not the only person who's been waiting to play a video game set in Ancient Egypt since I was a small child - which is almost half a century in itself. :D
Am I the only one feeling Syndicate is an aggressively mediocre game? I don't get why people are so keen on praising on it for being better than Unity. To me, it's the opposite other than Unity's technical issues. There are just way too many copy & paste content in Syndicate. There are essentially only four types of enemies: regular goon, big bulky brute, rogues with guns who are usually female, and captains. On top of the sparse crowds on the street, the visual of Syndicate is rather dull. The same character models are seen over and over only in different gang uniforms. The missions are structured and laid out in such a cookie cutter fashion, it felt like a parody to Ubisoft game design.
Say what you want about Unity, at least they went all out on making in-game Paris worthy of this-gen's name. The combat tweaks also discourage button mashing, which they unfortunately reversed back in Syndicate. Also Syndicate is such a wasted opportunity for not including coop when they have two protagonists with different play style.
倪传历 everything you said was spot on, I completely agree.
I always thought syndicate was just "alright", but yeah I agree with what you say. The Twins and exploring London were the highlights, everything else was just meh.
The industrial age in London was a dull setting and Ubisoft nailed it.
look syndicate wasnt a bad game per se but I must agree with u on unity........it was a massive change from all AC games.........like the game play was one of the best ive seen.........from parkour to fighting everythung had a finess to it......syndicate had trains and guns and shit it was good but wasnt as innovative as unity
Unity had fantastic parkour, a beautiful city, assassin outfits that were creative but a bit too flamboyant at times. And everything else was a shit show. Combat was nice in that it wasn't counter kill spam, but as enemy levels increased so too did the player's over reliance on spamming smoke bombs and berserk darts, the only two items more op and problematic than counters. You also had snipers who dealt absurd damage and were way too accurate. Every guard could pull out a gun and force you to stop your combo because human shielding was removed.
While the open approach to stealth was interesting a lot of it ended up being run around the outskirts of the area until you find the one good path through the area, more paths didn't necessarily mean more good paths. There are also seemed to be more guards with better detection ranges which made it a bit too difficulty in some locations.
Stealth was too easy to screw up and combat was near impossible at higher enemy levels, a bad time all around.
Arno was a poorly written, poorly developed character with motives that were clearly stated but seemed fuzzy in action and the rest of the cast wasn't much better. The story was even fuzzier in parts and the marketing team oversold its involvement with the french revolution which was little more than a backdrop to most missions.
And then there were the glitches and gigabytes on top of gigabytes of patches to fix which made people a lot less forgiving for its flaws, especially for those who don't have unlimited internet.
Unity might have been innovative, in some sense of the word at least, and definitely, unreservedly, beautiful, but that didn't change the fact it was garbage at many fundamental levels.
Syndicate might have been cookie cutter to the point of mediocrity, but at least it was competently made and what people had always enjoyed from the series.
I knew how this game was gonna be great and successful when other people were skeptical and/or worse, *busy hating it even before release.*
Noman Johan i can't blame them though. AC had many average/forgettable titles in the last few years.
Same. So satisfying to see all the haters being shut down
I understand that but you can't hate something before even trying. The premise was very promising from the start.
I was neutral. Some things didn't look good like the snake but for the most part I was neutral leaning towards dislike. I wasn't "hating on it"
People hated on games like Battlefront 2, Madden 18, Sonic Forces, Mighty no. 9, etc. before they were released and they all sucked. When people hate a game before it's released, it doesn't mean it's good most of the time people are just right about how the game will be bad.
I love how those who mention microtransations most likely haven't played the game. They aren't a quick way to help you beat the game, they're mainly cosmetics/outfits and the Ubisoft points are given from objectives like completely a certain portion of the game. This "pay to play" is honestly bs.
Human Creativity yep. Have no problem when it’s cosmetic stuff. Go ahead make money off the people who want that stuff. We all get angry when someone pulls an EA tho.
Human Creativity Sure, and purchasing 3 skill tree points at 300 helix per isn't incentivizing mtx when I haven't even been able to get chain kills or chain assassinations (two different skills) st freaking level 28. I didn't have enough gameplay variety to make it fun until I was over level 20. Upgrading a "legendary" weapon to your level costs 3k drachma regardless of whether that weapon is 3 levels under leveled or 20, it makes no difference. You have daily events and timed community events that punish you if you haven't leveled up on their schedule (to drive mtx on their schedule). Yeah, you people excusing this are the ones talking BS.
Charsinigan Hoodish They are pulling the single player equivalent of what EA did on SW:BF2. The incentivizer is just tedium and time, rather than other players' competitive advantage. I could care less about mp shooters, so this is actually worse to me personally, mostly because they torched my favorite (action/stealth/parkour) gameplay system ever for just another tedious hack and slash to encourage mtx.
Just let the AC origins devs make the next 20 bazillion assassins creed games
G G it’s the black flag devs who made origins
Syndicate was never fun, I never got the story, the ending came out of no where, and for some reason i never got the romance between the main character and the other assassins, *spolier* so at the end of the very easy boss fight, the romance between those two just came out of now where. I felt like Ubisoft just wanted it to be there so they went "Woops gotta have some romance, drop this in at the end"
SLinnemann Art i destroyed the whole game and i agree the only thing i liked were the characters and the combat
Liked the graphics, thats about it, i dont really remember much from the game. Unity had an amazing online feature, that Ubisoft should have continued with that, instead. But Origins is a good game, and bravo for them that they actually made something good, after some very bad AC games
Also you can wear Ezio and Altair's outfits for free with Ubisoft Club
"Free".
Joshua Fogg Yeah it's free, you legit just have to make an account. It's free to download.
They also added Edward outfit as well
+Ibrahim Rafi I want all outfits of previous AC games
Mini Man i cant get altairs outfit for some reason
How cool would an Asia based AC be? Origins is a breath of fresh air for sure and I like it a lot. Still though I hope they got some Samurai stuff on the drawing board.
they have in the Assassins Creed Chronicles
frenchonionsouptogo feudal Japan would be awesome but I actually want Ancient China.
The first assassin is in the middle east in Asia but if you mean the east east then it's different then asia
part of Egypt is in Asia
Wolves600Gaming some part I think it's called bor saaed
This is my favorite assassin's creed game as a assassin's creed fan im so proud of this masterpiece i cant stop playing
People keep saying "ancient Egypt" and it's not. The game is set like 2500 years AFTER the Egyptian era. We don't get to see the construction of the Pyramids, for example, as they were build millennia ago in the game.
It's basically Red Dead Redemption in Ancient Egypt and I am totally ok with that.
Not really,
Adewale the side quests are exactly like the strangers missions, the enemy camps are exactly like the gang hideouts, and all the main missions characters have a very Rockstar RDR/GTA feel to them. The assassins creed influence by contrast is very light.
It didn't save the series, if ubi starts back spawning games on an early basis the series is back on the chopping.
I haven’t finished Origins yet, but it didn’t take me long to fall in love. Senu was a lifesaver in every mission, and I got really attached to my camel/horse. Also, there are SO MANY SIDE MISSIONS, but I don’t mind, since they are really fun and are always a help in leveling up in order to progress in the main missions.
Do Eurogamer class themselves as marketers or journalists? Serious question.
When the gameplay was revealed I was very skeptical. The damage counter was my largest pet peeve. When I picked it up 2 days ago I went to the UI options menu and turned it off. After that it became my favorite AC since AC2
AC2 is very best game of all time for me, but Origins really saved the series
It’s weird seeing points pop up it’s not realistic at all
if we get a game of this quality from ubisoft from now on ill be absolutely thrilled... thats a lot to hope for though
Honestly since AC3 and maybe AC4, what has really been added to the lore. The story hasn’t changed a bit, the franchise is just a theme park ride through the ages.
Hands down, the best AC game I've ever played. They did a phenomenal job with bringing ancient Egypt to life. Makes it exiting to explore the maps.
This game from one side is very impressive by its size, I just love to explore and the side quests are not that bad.
But the one thing that is bad is the quality. They should have let QA do more work because from the start of the game it feels unfinished. For example, I had my first assassination from the target list of the main story to kill, and when I have arrived to the scene, he was already dead. Maybe I have killed him before when I free roamed. But it felt unnatural to come to a place two days later and suddenly get a scene when I like just killed him (the "rest in peace" scenes from AS games).
Not to spoil it too much, but that list is only a small part of the story. I thought the same as you, but when the last target was down and that didn't even mark the end of chapter 2, I realized the story is much bigger.
Looking in the achievments, there's at least 5 chapters....
The first target in siwa part I accidentally killed I was going all the side quest first and everything and was infiltrating a fort and shit and came across him while he was sleeping he quickly stood up and stared at me and I stared at him back for a solid 10 seconds and killed him and then a few seconds later the rest in peace cut scene started lol!
Mareks_Zh Hahah basically the same situation as me. Roaming around a garrison in Siwa, get spotted, engage in combat, soldiers start surrounding me. I eventually take one out who looked stronger than the grunts, turns out it was indeed the 1st target, all random. Honestly it just made appreciate the scope and utter randomness of this game.
Before all archelogists there was bayek of siwa.
One of the greatest series ever made.
For a game that was getting mixed reviews at launch a lot of people seem to love it now
I can kill deers on this game? Worth the purchase.
My problem with Bayek's story is that I'm bored with Assassins becoming assassins for personal reasons. The one thing I liked about Black Flag's story was that Edward came to the realization that there are things out there bigger than himself. He needed to be destroyed to understand that, but he came to the realization on his own, not out of revenge.
Characters like Ezio, Arno, and Bayek do it for personal reasons. Which isn't necessarily bad, but Bayek is supposed to be a founding member of the Assassin's Brotherhood. You are telling me the Brotherhoods genesis wasn't the desire to depose those that would control humanity, but revenge for a dude's son getting killed? That just feels utterly stupid and makes the Brotherhood less interesting as a result.
Adron Duell have you finished the game? I haven't finished it myself yet, but maybe Bayek will have some sort of realization towards the end after his revenge is done. At least that's what i'm thinking on how the story will go
Kyle .Ledesma I won't spoil the details, but that is basically what happens. I just wish it was executed better.
Adron Duell I guess i'll have to see for myself. But I agree with the Edward part, his realization is very well executed and that's what made me like black flag even more. Besides the naval travel ofc. I'm a sucker for pirate stuff
Adron Duell isnt the story slowly turn into the revenge for his son and egypt ? because all that guys he killed destroyed egypt and he become medjay to protect ppl , same reason for funding brotherhood ? do you even follow the story?
Adron Duell Uhm nope. Many people in the world are choosing to serve an organization for selfish reasons, exspecially people who join cults. Over time they develop a sense of justice and become enlightened by it. It's like Turing some stone and making a statue our of it.
I like the way u can hear the voice cracks and their voices when their about to cry or they are u can really feel their pain
I finished the story now, and I'm a little bit of a nitpicky fan, however, lore seems to be done well enough to me
Me too man did aya leave bayek, Like divorce him I cannot understand everything of what happened it was confusing
wow spoilers much
So far there's only one thing that messes with the lore (atleast I think it does, I'm not an expert on every game)
But in the earlier times of the hidden blade, you had to sacrifice one of your fingers to use it. Origins is set before any of the other AC games, but Bayek doesn't need to lose a finger to use the hidden blade
Justa Person Nahh it doesn't mess with lore, I think lazerzz made a video on it or otherwise fizhy or longearedfox. But the thing is that bayek lost his finger in the fight in the bathhouse, and his 'followers' started cutting of their left ringfingers as a sign of dedication to the creed. This need of sacrifice must have been implemented into the system later on. Does this help (ish)?
but he does lose a finger and that is maybe the reason they do make it like that
Imitation is the best form of flatter...Achooowitcher3!....
This is better than the witcher 3 in my opinion
It's not as deep as the witcher 3...But it is very fast paced...I already completed one third of the whole game...Very Ubisoft... :-)
Chuck Peck
You sure?
Thats probably why I didn't like witcher 3, went on to long
I got my money's worth from the Witcher 3 cause it was deep and long...I am getting my money's worth from AC Origins cause it is hard and fast...I'm good as long as I get my money's worth... :-)
This is a very excellent game
This is almost a perfect game at least to me, the setting is so nostalgic and lovable for me especially since it includes the greeks and romans. The wide open desert also gives you that perfect bronze age epic feel. The combat is super smooth to me but maybe slightly repetitive. I love the horse animations and horseback combat. The main thing I'd like to see them improve and build on is the dialogue and trading system, or even companion system. If they made the dialogue more like a fallout or elder scrolls style where you had several choices of what to say and more conversational aspects to it, this game would be absolutely over the top. Maybe one more thing is the loot system, I'd like to see more location and NPC specific weapons, it's almost too random for me to feel immersed. Nonetheless I'm really happy with the product they released and will be playing for a long time to come.
That'd be amazing to see AC set in Japan. They could even do a bit where The assassins and the templars get mistaken for Ninjas and Samurias.
Did it save the series? It is definitely better than Syndicate, but it feels unpolished. Also, I do not like the combat system (that is probably just because of me and not because it is bad or anything like that though)
too much Witcher-Souls combat XP?
I like it because I found it kinda of weird that an assassin could take on an entire army
I found that weird too, but I do not like it because it makes no sense to me that the same enemy type suddenly needs to be hit twice as often by me just because I go to a different area. It makes sense in some cases (better armor or weapons do make a difference, and they still all die with a single hidden blade stab), but I dont think a game should force you to stay in an area until you level up by giving enemies outside of it ten times the health.
I guess that makes sense
@@wolves600 Pshhh Ezio can take an army all the time. Edward and Connor as well.
I hope they keep the 1 year gap between releases. Yearly releases for huge AAA titles like this only produce bad games. I mean, look at CoD.
Origins is a fucking Master piece.
Even better then Odyssey.
Bayeks story and character are flawlessly written and Abubakar Salim did the perfect voice acting.
The planning and stealth part is definitely still there. When going in weapons blazing on the Scarab failed, I decided to take a smarter approach, and plan out my actions. It worked.
Can't believe people asserting Black Flag and Origins are the best AC in the series... Those are good games but average AC, that's it. Black Flag's a huge letdown in terms of metastory and gameplay is just below the level of AC3 in terms of ship handling, destruction effects and physics + freerun is half-baked. Still 9/10 people have been licking this game just because it's so cool to embody a pirate in the west indies wandering through an astonishingly huge map even if the rest is repetitive and feels constantly less thorough than AC3. Sorry but that doesn't make it a good AC game. Origins has the same problems. Because everybody wanted Egypt as a setting and for the map is huge, "best AC game ever, fuckin' hater if you disagree" I'm not being conservative, Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood are still far ahead BF and Origins (itself being despite all better than BF) as they are a lot more well-written, varied and well-executed. Origins is lacking the DNA of AC...
Drive637 saddly these new A.C. "fans" won't agree, because for them the only good games are Black Flag (even when people forget that it was a big fucking lie in terms of story, they promised an assassin's that was a pirate and they just give us a lame drunk pirate who happens to know how to be an assassin) and the Ezio trilogy, none of them didn't even played the original game that's why they accept any half ass experience and praise it like it was A.C. 2
First, thank you man for existing because as time passes and when I see the phoney consensus around Origins, I just feel like the first fans just dropped AC. All the so-called new fans look like benighted newbies praising lore-unfriendly episodes. And that is absolutely horrendous. Most of them seem to have no knowledge at all regarding the gameplay/general values which the saga lies on.
*And this is coming from someone who doesn’t even know what to think of Origins. I can’t tell if it’s good or not, but I can tell that what you’re saying is just wrong.*
What sort of lunatic are you? You dare tell me I'm wrong and I don't know what I'm talking about whereas you haven't even played the game and you don't even have one tangible argument to assert your idea (because you have no idea probably). Your comment is just as useless as can be. Your only argument to prove me wrong is "I say you're wrong so you are" although your comment prove me you didn't understand shit as to what I said. If you post to be that unconstructive, please refrain. It's already hard enough to find people to really discuss particular matters, I don't need it plagued by comments like yours.
I think the main reason Origins lacks the "AC DNA" is because, in the time that Origins is set, none of the AC games have happened.
The game is about a man who at first wants to avenge his son, but then leads to him starting everything. I don't think the game was trying to be the next best thing in the franchise, but more so just telling the story of how it all began, just for the hell of it.
And I'm okay with that. I played the older ones, I'm not saying the game is better than the first few, but after the last couple of years of disappointment, this is a welcome addition to the franchise and can easily make a top 5 list.
I agree on Black flag. That game is a pirate game and not AC. Edward is a pirate not assassin...but Origins feels more like AC than black flag. I started playing it 1 week ago and its really good.
Best ac game in years
i'm still blown away by the fact that u can climb every mountain, hill, building.... so awesome.
From now on, let ashraf be the director for all the ac games. Absolutely brilliant game who's only downside is the story which falls a bit short but is still interesting. Side quests for me were amazing and the best part is unlocking new abilities and exploring. Black flag is personally my favorite Ac game. Ac2 is second and third is origins. This is a fresh reboot of the old boring recycled ac games. Bravo!
I think it's a fact to say that middle eastern style games are strong point for ubisoft
The game looks good and the settings nice but tbe gameplays awfull and the parkours pointless in it since most of the time ur on the ground.. oh and the combat feels for kids
Love how Johnny states that Bayek Arkwright is a Medjay who protects the people and then kills a guy at 6:07 and leaves his corpse to decompose in the villages water supply.
never seen a Eurogamer vid but I have to say I love the way you narrated us through the video, not mentioning a number. The last point is very important since I hate the YT channels who do these kinds of vids completely destroying the narrative with the "NUMBER 2: XXXXX" and also say a lot of not needed things to stretch the video to 10 min. really appreciated.
there never was anything to save...
Surely we should wait for sales figures before claiming it has saved the series no? Or have I missed something?
FUCK YOUR SOUND LOGIC AND POLITE CRITICISM!!!
noodles6669 doesn’t matter if it sells well the fact that they aren’t going the route of cod pumping out titles every year is a sign that they are giving more time to make a better game
Dan Lorenzana absolutely it's a sign that is positive and it's a great game but that doesn't mean it's saved the franchise. Maybe it doesn't sell because people have lost faith because of previous games. Even if people unanimously agree that it's a good game it doesn't necessarily mean it does well in game sales.
Yo Momma
As far as I am aware Syndicate did not do too well either. Not as well as black flag or AC 3. So the last 2/3 releases not doing too well would definitely be a sign imo. Anyway Ubi must have thought they really needed this change or they wouldn't have given up the opportunity to make hundreds of millions by driving the AC franchise into the ground. Although I guess you're right that Game sales isn't everything. Even though it is one of the main criteria for game publishers since that's what they're there for. The money.
noodles6669 look it has sold well I went into my local game shop on the day of its release and I wanted to buy just the normal version of the game they told me it had sold out so I asked to buy the deluxe edition again they said it had sold out so I asked for the Gold edition which is 90 pounds and they said they only had 5 copies left now if where I live pretty much all of the copies are sold out I bet you they're sold out everywhere else so I bet you AC origins is gonna be one of the best if not the best selling game of the year
In my opinion, I think the next Assassins Creed game should take place in 13th Century Scotland! During the time of William Wallace! Like, right after his death. It would be the perfect setting for an AC game! Medieval Scotland as an open world sandbox, an original Scottish assassin protagonist, badass medieval weaponry, and a compelling AC story! After seeing Braveheart for the first time a few days ago, it's the perfect time period for an AC game! If Ubisoft needs to take another year or 2 off to work on this project, then perfect! Make it happen Ubisoft!!!
I've been playing this game and I can't get enough of it. It just has that sort of Skyrim-y feel, leveling up, decent gear instead of the old 'all enemies you're able to take on at once, no level required'
Mark my words, the next game will be set in Medieval Japan.
Malik Crim good call
shut up weeb
Drunk Paladin kid chill. what are you so salty about?
I'm interested, hopefully it's not a "Chronicles" series cuz I hate the 2.5D "platformer" style
Ghost of Tsushima, not exactly AC tho
I was thinking of waiting for a sale on it but i was watching gameplay of it and could not wait so i just bought the gold edition on steam the literal best 100$ i have ever spent on a game in my life so far
Ubisoft should've done a trilogy with Bayek just like Ezio.
Bayek is definitely the comedian of the assassins. Besides Jacob he's the only other one that I found was actually trying to keep things light hearted
My only question is why cant our character jump ...like jump onto a wall or rock or something......the combat was very interesting and not the whole....kill a horde of enemys just by waiting n blocking n parrying..........still it needs work for combos and other things
well its a way to improve you reaction and fighting strategies
Thats because it was still the same as mhrering a bunch of enemies who u just need to parry and kill n rinse n repeat while in origins u need alittle more then that.....u hav to make sure u watch ur back from others shooting arrows or slashing a sword ar ur back and it feels more energetic
Unity's combat doesn't even feel like origins combat. At all.
How do you guys like Egypt? Peace and love from Cairo, Egypt
Morad Shemais loved
Loved it!
I always loved it!
I'm part Egyptian btw
I’ve played a fair share of assassins creed games and I’ve never had as much fun as I do playing this.
"Saved the series" maybe for people who don't actually care about the meta-plot. This game added little to nothing to the meta-plot overall. They essentially removed free running; for all those saying free running was bad, get good scrubs, free running needed a few tweaks, but it didn't need to be scrapped into this baby-proofed movement style that feels nothing like AC. Combat? Watered down to having ridiculously large numbers pop on the screen to show you did BIG damage so you can be proud of yourself; A failure of trying to copy combt from other games. The fact is that this isn't a bad game overall, it's just not a good AC game and most of you people in the comments don't get that. Many comments from people who are saying "I didn't play AC 1 or 2, etc. but I love this" are only contributing to my problem with the series now. They don't care about meta-plot because they didn't start from the beginning and they just want to play the game so it functions as a alt history time machine. Proof in that is all these comments about where the next AC should be set rather that what the fuck is happening to the goddam plot. It's turning into a CoD shit hole, plot is different each game and they pump a new one out every year. Played AC 1 all the way up to Rouge, it got bad so I stopped; I thought I'd get something good because of the setting in Egypt which should have a huge impact on meta-story given the location. Complete disappointment. I'm dropping the series after this and I'm glad I didn't waste money on a season pass.
No, this game is not an RPG. To be called an RPG, the player should be able to interact with the world and make impacts based on their character build and personal preferences. Having loot and leveling system doesn't change the action-centered nature of this game.
倪传历 I consider it a roleplaying game, just not as hardcore or detailed compared to the average rpg
倪传历 While I agree with you that AC: O is not a pure RPG by a long shot, I disagree with your definition of an RPG.
Plenty of older games were %100 linear, offered zero choice when it came to the story line. And yet they were RPGs.
What older games?
倪传历 I mean, I’m thinking of NES/SNES RPGs, just as examples. Let’s go with The Secret of Mana (SNES). A fairly popular and recognized “old” (J)RPG.
Sure, it had a quasi-open-world design... so I suppose you could “chose” where to go. But other than that, if I recall correctly, the story was 100% linear. I don’t recall any “choices” that impact the storyline.
There are plenty of other RPGs that are linear, with little to no choice- although I admit that the *contemporary* definition of an RPG would most likely include an aspect of “your choices impact the story (or at least the ending)”.
However, I don’t believe the classical/historical definition of (video game) RPGs precluded games with little to no choice included in the storyline from falling under said definition.
But again. I would agree with you that AC:O is not an RPG. I think it’s a stealth/action-adventure game with RPG or RPG-lite elements.
JRPG is generally regarded as a completely different genre from western RPGs. RPGs as a western concept derived from pen & paper roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons.
I admit this is a super messy genre to define as two completely different design philosophy (eastern and western) are both under a same banner alongside plenty of other branches such as Diablo-esque action roleplaying games, but I believe there should be some principles to impede this over simplification and generalization of this genre.
Doubt it'll reach the sales numbers of AC3 and 4 though.
Gordon Freemason it's the best in the series better than 4 and 3 and i loved 3 and 4 both
I don't know about that, i think that given some time, it will surpass the sales.
i beg to differ
Gordon Freemason I'm pretty sure it will surpass. There are tons of videos from different RUclipsr s playing this game most of my online friends are playing this game every night. It just came out give it time.
True, AC3 got a platinum award for game of the year.
As a lore purist, I don’t find that Bayek founding the order that lore breaking, after reading, the Hidden Ones (what the Assassin’s are called in the game) was the first organized brotherhood, that doesn’t mean the assassins didn’t exist before then, they just had no formal structure and no official leaders and Bayek changed that, even Darius is mentioned in the game, an assassin alive around 2 centuries before Bayek was alive
The shot in the arm this series needed. Best AC since Black Flag to me.
Most people will not finish this game or explore the entire map. While it was good to be able to get outside the cities, the rpg elements don’t really add much to game. Level grinding and weapon upgrading just makes it more tedious and time consuming to follow the main story line. Unfortunately also the story and the characters themselves are quite weak. It definitely feels more like quantity over quality in many aspects. AC2 had the right balance between narrative and free roam and I wish they would get back to this formula rather than trying to make a mediocre Witcher 3 clone.
Youve mentioned quite a few things here, but to say that the combat system and the new rpg didn't 'add much to the game' is completely ridiculous. Not only does it make free roaming much better but it also increases the skill you need to complete a few missions. You're basically saying that you wouldn't mind having the old combat system in this game. Get outta here.
thomas35835 and yea thers not so much lag on old graphic cards cuz we are out cities
Sigh, I've already explored the entire map and finished half of the content in the game. I got no life.
thomas35835 this guy is absolutely right
Yeah, but we got tired of that formula (Syndicate). The Witcher III is way too overrated too. All the maps are boring and empty. Only the dialogue selection is what made that game good. Without it, that game would be a full sleeper fest. i beat the DLCs for it and was done with it for good.
Things i said no to this game : Fight system less smoother and bad system fight ... no killing cinimatic like other assassin's creeds ... They forgot the parkour, cuz assassin's creed = Fight, Parkour,Storie
Honestly have u seen the game there’s parkour and cinematics and fighting is fine
Nice video. I think you hit the nail on its head when you pointed out how important the protagonist's motivation is for the success of this series of story-driven games, in terms of it being relatable. The last time an AC-protagonist's motivation was relatable was in Black Flag, arguably the best AC next to the first sequel. Ed Kenway was in it for the money, and just happened to become an assassin purely by accident. Ezio also had a simple, but very clear and focused motivation and character arc. It's amazing how something so simple, obvious, and "scriptwriting 101" has evaded the writers at Ubisoft so many times. It's as if they're learning as they go, with each new release. :D
For the new games I wish they would remaster the ezio collection but with the new controls
This series lost it way before syndicate
The series only lost its way with Unity to be honest.
And syndicate was better than Unity, thats wasnt hard to do but it was
No. AC 1 has aged horribly and Unity isn't worth playing.
For me this one killed the series. In my opinion Unity was the best it's been since AC2, I genuinely believe that if it weren't for the horrific launch state it would've been adored.
Instead they played it very safe with Syndicate and then changed direction completely with Origins to cash in on The Witcher 3's success and the industry's stupid blind love for half-assed RPG mechanics and a dull loot grind. The gaming landscape never looked so bleak. It's just become quantity and longevity over quality hand-crafted experiences.
Sloth Empire for me, Unity's story is what made me dislike it. I love the setting and everything, but I feel like the French revolution is sort of like a backdrop and is not included in most of the story. And the ending made me feel like everything I did doesnt matter. But graphics are amazing though. But yeah
Sloth Empire What grind? I haven’t had to grind at all in the game.
Sloth Empire They just want our money.
Unity was damn near unplayable sometimes. It was such a piece of shit game imo. This is the turn they needed.
If you think unity was the best you need to get a check and you are not a real assasins creed fan origins saved it it feels so good its by far the best assasins creed ive ever played and i played every game from the series
The game is super fun when you play it at nightmare difficulty, it forces you to be as stealthy as possible, even harder than the death march of the witcher 3. But again the pace, narration and story of the witcher is far more interesting than ac origins. but after witcher 3, origins is the game which kept me invested for a long time.
Am I the only one who wanted Bayek to keep the long hair and beard?
And then odyssey ruined it
I got it having not played an ac since black flag and I'm bored out of my mind with it, in about 6-7 hours into it. Lovely setting but fuck me I'm bored !!!
You're not playing it right if you're bored!
Regna Same, like you say the setting is great and the open world looks amazing, but a lot of the gameplay seems to just be hiding in bushes pressing the stealth kill button and getting into the odd fight, plus there can be long stretches of time where you're riding through the desert with nothing around you, almost feeling like a loading screen
Chris Plaza Please tell us how to play it right?
Deathlygunn why don't u try and use your imagination, the game developers can only do so much. Your mind is probably 2 dull witch is why everything is boring 2 u.
I bet he's fake many people post fake things because they want to create hate
As someone who was only a fleeting fan of the AC series (only liked 1,2 and 4 really) this was a fantastic game. While the main story was a bit bare, the gameplay was fun, the side missions inviting and the world absolutely beautiful. As a history sim it was a fantastic snapshot of Ptolemaic Egypt that made the player feel engrossed in that setting. Add to that the generous and rewarding DLCs and this was one of the best games of last year. I platinumed this game and had fun doing it. Can’t wait for the next rpg assassins creed
I really hope the next game will be set in Rome and we'll play as Aya (Amunet). BTW you guys remember that there was a statue of Amunet in the Sanctuary under villa Auditore?
Playing as Aya would be extremely cool especially if they would focus on stealth more and added features from old games like hiding in the crowd etc. It made sense for Bayek to not do these things because technically he wasn't an Assassin through majority of the game. He was a warrior and protector. Aya, however, seems like someone who would focus on working from the shadows and assassinating people with finesse.
