Proves a point you made earlier: AC needs Lore team.
Two games with two different directors, the one contradicting the other...while contradicting the older games in the franchise.
Quite the mess!
Hope AC Legion will be more true to the established lore. For now, I will pass on Oddyssey
Odyssey is actually not cannon, the whole game is not cannon.
Too bad Ubisoft will never listen to logic cause they got their heads up they're ass holes.
@@h3nder I believe the overall story is, at least the book Ubi released.
If follows their own canon choices / main character, leaving the players to make their own choices in game.
(Prefered a set character with less choices and more depth myself, though)
@@TheAquarius87 Yes, the events are cannon, but I am not so sure about the DLC.
Plus, they'll probably de-canonize it later.
I have yet to play Odyssey as I was going through older games first since I haven't played them since BF came out, and after watching all the reviews I'll skip both this and the next one.
I hope they get away with all the choice and cannon breaking bs, honestly Origins is such a good game that they can build the gameplay of that and sell it for next 10 years.
@@h3nder Yeah Origins was quite amazing.
I chose to buy the Ezio collection over Odyssey and I'm still not regretting it! (Though nostaglia for Ezio is a major factor for me)
“THAT’S NOT YOUR ROOF”
“YOURE RIGHT”
“Oh Hi Mark”
I laughed way too hard at that part.
Here's my theory:
Montreal was working on Origins at the same time Quebec was working on Odyssey. The two weren't communicating and because of that both teams essentially made origin stories that contradict each other. This would make sense except for the fact that Quebec messed up things other than establishments in Origins.
Short version:
Quebec should never be allowed to make another Assassin's Creed game.
Agreed
Montreal started working a year before quebec
MCU HQ smart
nishant suresh story could still overlap
No
If the dlc was actually about Darius and you got to play as him in Persia and see him earn his name as the murderer of Xerxes, see him crate the hidden blade and see Darius and amorges’ relationship get better and then slowly worsen. You’ll be able to explore Persia as Darius and have more stealth weaponry such as throwing knives, smoke bombs, sleep darts, berserk darts and you’ll be able leave Persia at anytime and go back to Greece as Alexios/ Kassandra and continue helping Darius escape Greece and kill the order in Greece. No Neema no Elpidios just Darius and The eagle bearer learning from each other and coming to terms that they are both different as Alexios prefers being loud with his antics while Darius prefers discretion
They should've just put Darius into the base game. The Eagle Bearer could meet him relatively early on in the story (say after dealing with the wolf of sparta) and he could become a mentor for the eagle bearer. Maybe he's hiding in Kosmos territory because it's mostly out of the orders range but decides to help the protaganist due to realizing that they are just as effed up as the order (maybe he didn't even know about the cult, only that the order wasn't in greece for some reason).
And voila the issues with this and the main story (lacking connection, hidden blades) would be fixed.
But then that's like a different game
what you just described should be the entirety of the main game of Odyssey
Community: We want Bayek sequel
Ubisoft: We already have Bayek sequel at home
Bayek sequel at home:
Lmao
wouldnt this be a sequel?
@@carlosguijon8053 are you the dumb?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
At this point, the best course of action is to consider the entire AC Odyssey story as a separate timeline. The last actual lore contributing game was Origins. We all have to accept this. It's the only way to avoid complete insanity.
If you separate Odyssey from the AC universe, it's actually a really fun and enjoyable game and the story is pretty good. But as an AC universe game, it's disrespectfully ignorant.
Gonna do that now!!
I can get behind the novelisation of Odyssey to be in the same timeline as Origins. But yeah what you've mentioned is probably the best course of action with the game
or this was all just helix memories created by abstergo and made the assassins believe they were rendering the real memory files
@Jade Crawford there definitely were assassins (note the lower case 'a') before Bayek and throughout history. The point is that Origins showed the origin of the Leap of Faith as being something personal to Bayek which he later taught other Hidden Ones; there was a lot of emotional weight behind that and it was well done. This DLC basically spits in the face of that by showing it to be a regular practice of people like Darius; someone whom even the later Assassins (upper case A) would idolise but existed long before Bayek. What was the point of Bayek's story if you can say that all that has been done by other people in the past? Realistically it may have happened, but it's just bad storytelling.
1) Darius was a missed opportunity to make him interesting.
2) Neema/Natakas are boring, uncharismatic characters with a serious lack of development for someone with such importance for the story.
3) The story is lame and has nothing of original value.
4) Facial animations are terrible and just seems to be getting worse.
5) The voice acting is very toned down and bland and the emotion in most of the lines is non-existent.
6) Gameplay is recycled and there is nothing new to really experience. New abilities barely change shit and most of the quests are basically run here, collect this, kill that. Fucking boring shit.
7) The rpg element has been executed poorly because "player choice" will always end with the same outcome. The dialogue options are meaningless as it only changes your characters attitude at that time and never has a greater effect.
8) The story literally makes no sense as mentioned in this video.
the dlc is so poorly written and made, it's so embarrassing that they actually greenlit it
1) I don't see how Darius is uninteresting. Yes, he could have been explored in more depth, but you can say that about any character in supporting character. What's important is that he had an identifiable personality and character. Naturally, he's reserved and not overly talkative. He's your typical silent but deadly badass character. But there's some depth there because that silence has a purpose. He's had to run for his entire life, never being able to ease his mind. He's therefore defined by his need to protect what small part of a life and of a family that he still has left: his daughter. Is it wholly original or complex? No, but he has a character and it works within the narrative.
2) Yeah. I think her/his character is fine, they're just really underdeveloped. They're relationship with Alexios/Kassandra is also flat and unearned. However, Michael Antonakos' performance is really affective and it almost makes up for the lack of chemistry between him and Neema. I haven't played with Kassandra so I don't know if the same can be said for Melissanthi.
3) How?
4) I disagree.
5) I couldn't disagree more.
6) I agree.
7) I agree.
8) How?
@@calebmurphy9406 the facial animations make AC Odyssey look more like AC Mass Effect Andromeda
@@Roninberserker I don't agree.
@@calebmurphy9406 that's ok everyone has their own opinion
That pyramid thing is the most embarrassing thing I have seen in the whole of assassins creed
They ruined origins in my eyes. Origins was one of my favourite ac games as well
killing the leader of the cult who didnt actually die until she was 70 something 🌚
No it was the wole series since AC 3 except for black flag, origins, and odyssey
dipzoid Odyssey is a fucking embarassment to the franchise
@@archielong3297 origins is my fav ac game but quebec destoied ittt sry if i said it wrong but i dont care ismail is tze best
Ubisoft: So basically Aya is the most powerful assassin to have ever lived
Me: Why?
Ubisoft: Shut up
Well she killed cleopatra and Caesar, so bayek may have started the hidden ones but aya was more committed and focused on it, bayek only wanted revenge on his sun but aya was already an assassin
@@glowhoo9226 Aya was alright, but no way was she the most powerful assassin
Ubisoft is like this hypocritical society. They could've just made Aya the protagonist and switched roles. They didn't. So we just can't connect with her because we're so invested in Bayek. They just want to look "woke". Then came Odyssey. They promoted the game around alexios. And then said the female was canon. Yeah then why were you so scared of saying that from the start. I honestly believe sales wouldn't have been affected by promoting Kassandra. They should've stuck with one protagonist. Most people chose alexios because 1.Most gamers are male and given the choice most of them would choose their avatar to be male 2. They made it look like he was the better character.
Oh yeah blood line then how come she can't jump off very giant cliffs or anything
@Super JLK yeah. Absolutely. It should be about experiencing memories. About Kassandra, the issue for me was how no character in the game remarks that a woman is a mercenary in the time period. Not surprising since they basically changed nothing for either character's story. When it comes down to it, Altair as the descendant instead of Aya would've made a lot more sense. He even looks like Darius as he ages. More importantly he's the most important figure for all assassins after him.
I liked it more when assassins creed was about assassins
Raccoon I’m really sad reading this because it’s so true
I liked it when assassins creed was about actual historical events.
@@bonemech5000 this was about a historical event, the Peloponnesian war
@@nelsondelvalle694 yeah but the war didn't have magical super heroes and a bunch of bullshit
The Assassin's Creed franchise died with Desmond.
Fan-fictions literally have higher quality writing.
kurb and have more creativity too.
Them deviant art x readers have better stories
And have more respect for continuity and lore
It would’ve made much more sense & been a much better dlc had Darius been written correctly & if he was related to Bayek not Aya. That way that tradition of the Leap of Faith would have still been about confronting your fears & it would’ve remained consistent with what was shown in Origins.
I would still bet torn with that but that is a logical middle from what we want and what ubi wants but somehow it’s Aya making no sense
PrinceRPG exactly, if we the fans were to decide what the dlc would be then it would be a much different story. Plus the people at Ubisoft should’ve realised it made no sense to have Aya be the descendant. They were just pushing a narrative & throwing logic as well as the respect of their fans out the window.
It would've made even more sense if they ended up with Altair. He's basically the GOAT and Mentor for the assassins in the modern day. Perhaps the most important assassin ever. He actually learned using pieces of Eden, even performed feats like creating duplicates like Kassandra without getting his mind corrupted and with no visible physical toll. He guided Ezio and Desmond by storing his memory. The guy even looked like Darius in old age.
Literally feel your rage when Neema/Natakas throws the heirloom into the sea. I was just thinking “whoever wrote this story deserves death by the order of the ancients”
I’ll slightly defend when Gergis says “Everything is permitted”. Both Darius/Artabanus and Amorges held the same ideology up until a certain point. So it’s safe(ish) to say that this is where you say Templar/Assassin ideology diverge. Again, Ubisoft could’ve avoided this furore by leaving that bit out anyways.
Neema/Natakas are wasted characters. Even Darius/Artabanus is and Ubisoft should’ve left the “mystery” about him alone.
For some reason, whenever I hear about Darius , I remember something Altair wrote in the Codex. It was about how the ideologies of the Assassins and Templars may have been founded repeatedly several times throughout history. I think that might be the case
All we wanted was a damn Bayek Sequel!!
U asked for a bayek sequel, theyll give u a game set during the prehistoric time.
A decade ago, when Ubisoft made a good game, they made sequels until the story was finished and couldn't be continued(AC2-AC Embers). Now it's just "let's just give this game the incorrect name, tricking people into thinking it's good so we get money, and if it works, do it again"
Paco Ks not me tbh. I give origins a 7/10 tho🤷♂️
Ice Cold Lemonade funny, considering it was better than the Witcher 3 in nearly every way

I'll forever pretend that Assassin's Creed Odyssey(most part of it at least) never happened and it's a failure of Layla's animus.
Well technically her Animus does make up the parts that it can't retrieve from DNA, so this is what I've been holding as true, only certain aspects of odyssey are cannon, but most of it is made up by Layla's Animus
I stopped counting games as canon after syndicate.
ZhinZhaw Gourneau How is Origins not canon? Lol
@@snikerz5886 origins is the best ac creed since black flag and continues to be tho
Origins is one of, if not the best AC game ever made! Followed by the Ezio trilogy
Yuuga Aoyama it’s my second favourite, origins big lit
Origins wasn't even that good and Bayek was kinda boring
Oddysse6 was better than origins
@@lightyagami8645 i'm guessing this is a joke...
@@lightyagami8645 says odysey is better but can't find the reasons... lol
Wouldn't surprise me if Ubisoft put Aya in the next game going by this DLC
If they did, I actually wouldn't mind.
it would still be better than this since we might get to see bayek again
This game and DLC annoy me more than should be possible for Assassin’s Creed this game isn’t canon to me in the same way the movie was, what would have been better if Bayek was the descendant it would explain how the leap of faith was passed down through his family at least, how’d you have written Odyssey and Legacy of the First Blade
Personally I loved it, despite its flaws and consistency in the lore/plot it did manage to set up the timeline between Odyssey and Origins I guess...
I also respect and understand people who did not like it because people are entitled to their own thoughts and preferences. The "You Love Some, You Hate Some" way of thinking.
ERIK VU i did like the story didnt care for the aya origin thing because ive never played it but i did enjoy the abilitys the armor
For myself, I am fine with the game, as I don't completely hate it. I do enjoy the gameplay, though it does take me a while to get the assassination kills just right. I like the setting and having the ship with ship battles (which does reminds me a bit of Assassin's Creed 4). But everything else, I can either take it or leave it.
Now that i see that, and you mentioned the Tombs in Italy...how come Darius was mentioned in a Assassins Tomb as an Legendary Assassisn , but the Order of Assassins was not founded then?
6:49 It seems every Tom , Dick and Harry performed the Leap of Faith in Ancient Greece
11:00 Templar Symbol
The first one... Lol
The second one... Didn't notice that the first time but also really funny.
Dont see it
@@gos2501 Check near the OotA symbol. There are 4 crosses
Woah that’s COOL!!!
If Ubisoft didn’t hate Bayek so much him being from the bloodline would explain Senu and a lot of of the things he could do. Also why in the fuck are you still Alexios. Kassandra’s voice is better
MUCH better, might I add.
Alexios' voice makes me feel like he's pissed off all the time
Unity had a shit script but executed it pretty well.
Odyssey has a potentially brilliant script but with shit execution.
Unity sounded the best of Assassins Creed in Paper.
Odyssey sounded the worst in execution AND paper, only good in concept was the setting.
@@memecliparchives2254 amazing gameplay , good story and great graphics
@@lightyagami8645 Not good Story though. Arno was irritating and Bellec should have been the star.
@@memecliparchives2254 nah arno was a great character imo he was the best character in the game imo
@@memecliparchives2254 oddyssey have a better story than unity
I miss the Ezio days. I remember when AC2 was released and everyone was blown away by how much of an improvement it was from the first game, which was awesome when it released in it of itself. Such a classic. There's nothing like those days anymore.
I think with the whole "All Things Are Permitted" line, he was meaning that the ends justify the means for the Order and it would have probably worked better had he said something different. But then they tried to make a reference and it broke the lore.
As for the leap of faith, its inferred that it was a Medjay tradition that only they knew how to perform correctly. So if that tradition was initially mastered by Darius and passed through the generations, it could have been passed down through to Bayek as a Medjay tradition that was adopted as a symbol of the Hidden Ones
i totally agree with justifications like this. I think the old AC purists will find ways to hate on anything added to these games that fondle with the ways they think the lore is being changed, and aren't being open minded enough to see what the story is trying to say.
Also I think the scene when they show the pyramids and stuff being built in egypt is totally fine too, I just chalk it up to the fact that the history books have it all wrong, just like Warren Vidic says in AC1. I think this cutscene is trying to portray AC's version of how and when the pyramids were built, not what is historically accurate.
I don’t know if anyone has had this same problem but while beginning episode 3 of the dlc my Alexios began speaking in Kassandras voice and Darius began addressing me as Kassandra when the subtitles said Alexios it is fucking astounding how bad these glitches are
“Spoiler Warning”
nobody plays anyways though
AC dosent need dialogue choices, like for side quests maybe but not for the main story
Wait, weren't Adam and Eve the first people to do the Leap of Faith? I thought they did it to escape the Isu.
No they didn't, they just leaped.
LOL only they have Isu genes which was by accident from juno's experiment. This isu blood line shit was pulled out of their asses so the spartan twins could have super powers. No super powers, just eagle vision and enhanced reflexes.
The episodes got worse from start to finish. The Huntsman was the most compelling villain in the entire game to me and I enjoyed episode one the most. But the voice acting, timing and animations during cutscenes is bad.
I partially agree. First episode was very good too. Second was bad. Third was my favorite tho. And cut them some slack on animations. It’s about the game, not the animation. If u want animation, watch a movie
@@alex-hg2vo why would I cut them slack? Ubisoft is one of the biggest AAA publishers, they have the money and resources they just prefer to get stuff out quick at a lower quality to continually make money.
I like how Ubisoft Montreal pioneers the series and Ubisoft Quebec just reskins it.
Im going to pretend this game and it's dlc didn't happen at all lol
Same
Darius' VA sounds like they asked a janitor to voice him
I think the leap of faith can be explained that Darius new he couldn't protect the legacy on his own and made a friend and taught him everything he knew so that there would always be someone looking out for the bloodline ,it could even explain why Bayek and Aya grew up together and fell in love because their families were always connected
I love the videos when you get Fizhy earape because you can feel the frustration and anger
Everyone is related its in their creed they are assassins
Roadhouse
Please tell me you are sarcastic
@@christrasa8878yeah I'm being sarcastic
Roadhouse
@@GRH_Roadhouse nice its not always easy to ditect sarcasm
@@christrasa8878 the thing is there are genuinely stupid people that'd actually say and believe that on the net
@@norseca542 well i didn't believe it thats why i asked him but this comunity is full of dumb people that its not that clear if a person is sarcastic regarding that topic
So, I assume the familial connection between Darius and Aya is why she ends up with his blade, but if they'd made him related to Bayek instead, that could've explained the leap of faith. It could be explained as something Darius did, taught to Elpidios, who then taught it to his kids and so on and so on til Bayek. So I think that's a missed opportunity to rectify that but oh well
8:30 That "FUCK OFF" had so much emotion in it LOOOL I could literally HEAR the anger in your voice Ethan
It was so good XD
To be fair it would make sense that the templar use the "everything is permitted" as a maxime because they are an incarnation of it. it's a prevention for the assasin not a maxime.
I liked the aya thing personally. Also we don’t really know the connection between Bayek’s father and Kassandras blood line. While yes the eagle jump scene is at very least really cheesy, I do think there is some wiggle room lure wise; especially considering bayek’s father told bayek he was suspicious about aya. Maybe he knew more about aya then we know.
I just wanna know if you get to keep the blade and actually use it in game
The only thing I didn’t really like was not getting Darius hidden blades at the end because he literally puts them in a box and looks like he going to give it to you
Best parts were the flash backs of darius, this dlc was made for a Kassandra driven story, some of the scenes just didn’t work playing as Alexios for me
If Ubi keeps going this route, the franchise will die within the next 2-3 games.
fortunately they have changed a lot of story elements in valhalla and darby mcdevid said it will have a lot of assassins creed elemnts
@@user-wb2yv7px6c
it looks weak tbh
@@devilgames2217 the combat looks amazing and there are a lot of cities and tombs for parkor also the dialog system has been toned down and actually has consiquences stealth looks fine sociall stealth is back and the assassins creed templar conflict is there.....
to be fair i didnt expect them to change a lot of things (like engine) so i wasnt dissapointed because they normally do 3 games on 1 engine .....im sure the next game is gonna be on a new engine but with this current game im satisfied with what they are doing....also the creator of the game is the people behind origins black flag and revelations
@@user-wb2yv7px6c منم امید دارم به اینیکی. تیمی که اینو ساخته میدونه داره چکار میکنه
So I'm assuming your character will not be getting a hidden blade then that makes somewhat understandable sense because his weapon or her weapon is the spear but it still would have been interesting to connect it to the overall Assassin's Creed series even though this game is literally a new launching point
I do find it interesting how Darius wears his hidden blade on top of his arm like Lia de Russo from AC Brotherhood.
Where is it said that the leap of faith starts with Bayek? i never saw that in origins, i saw him teach it but it never says that was the first leap of faith like he invented it
Just looked this up and found this interesting topic on forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1982631-Darius-the-lore-breaking-ASSASSINO "Bayek never invented the leap of faith he used something that he learned from his father. Please watch from 45:40 The question is where bayek's father learned it from, it seems like the leap of faith was something that was well known to get over fear. "
it still reduces the importance of iconic leap of faith that anyone can do it.
@@gamesofvikris2732 I don't see "anyone" doing it LOL seems to be such a ridiculous nitpick
caasi “anyone” meaning non-assassins. Only assassins should do the leap of faith.
8:36 I watched the video waiting for this moment lmao
Looking forward to hear your opinions on this, loving the streams btw
The intro exactly represents my feeling after I finished playing this game...
I love his freak out in the beginning
Im playin origins ng+ rn while watching this. L+L+LHold+Crimson Death is the best combo with venomous grace. Stormblades charged heavy+heavy+heavy+LHold vs shields. Feels good man
"Everything is permitted"...considering Darius' influence on the order before he left who's to say there can't be overlaps. The Templars and Assassin's are repeatedly shown and represented as aiming for the same or similar goals while differing in the methods they use to achieve them. Pretty sure Ac3 and Unity leaned on that very fact
I used to love assassin's creed 2, brotherhood, revelations, ac 4 and even 3 but odyssey is an absolute joke. I've played episodes 1-2 and it's just awful dlc, It's a massive misstep.
origins was a good origin story
I going to watch your whole live stream for more of those moments
0:11 Geralt in the background bout to end this man's life for NOT playing his game
It would’ve been better if Darius was in the main storyline of odyssey. Also why choose aya as a descendant when Bayek is a way better character?
Bayek is shaking his head in the duwat
i agree ubisoft lost it with this franchise
I kind of like the idea that Kassandra and Aya are related but what doesn’t make sense is that Layla is able live through both Aya and Bayek. And as far as I know, the only child they had was Khemu
*Kassandra/Alexios
8:09 You said it yourself bayek founded the brotherhood not the hidden blade 🤔🤔. Just think that Darius is being hunted by a massive order that's why he hides in the shadows and strikes silently to kill some targets. He is on his own and he says that he does it mainly to protect his family and after for the shake of everyone and for the greater good 👌❤️.Also about the hidden blade as I said he is the one who made it not Your boy Bayek who you always try to defend (by the way I like Bayek as a character).
You gonna make a video of the “everything is permitted” line?
Hey I made a guest appearance at 5:00 ! Thanks ethan
Wait so if we got acient greece could it be possible if we a game set in mongolia or something
I made a point about the leap of faith. What if Bayek's father is the descendant of some one that did a leap of faith and this has been passed throughout generations and so Bayek made it a sign for the Assassin Brotherhood (PLOT TWIST) (Nah, I'm just trying to get some explaining for this) ;-;
I don't understand why people complaining technically this is part of the lore because the Bloodlines came from so they're just explaining and how it was formed I mean many people don't even know how the hell the Assassin's Creed started and tell Origins so everything that's happening up to this point is technically Canon
I can't believe this ending.
It's just too naive - the descendant of the person involved in fighting with order of the ancients and finding pieces of Eden is the girl responsible for founding assassins' brotherhood.
COME ON
Funny story I had the adrestia docked about 50 feet away from the ship where neema/natakas dies. It makes no sense now. Barnabas just watched the order kill my partner. Nice ubi.
I'm not surprised that Aya is a descendant of them. I predicted it pretty early in my run through of Odyssey
8:45 I don’t think that’s a problem for Porto-templars, or even Templars to believe everything is permitted.
In the first Assassin’s Creed, one of the Templar Altair killed actually said they believe in nothing; and looking back to their actions, the Templar have nearly no moral code to restrict their methods to achieve their goals.
'Nothing is true, everything is permitted' was uttered by the real founder of the Assassins or Hashashin: Hassan I Sabbah. He was also Persian.
This dlc would've worked, if this set place in an alternative universe.
Ubisoft need to hire skilled writers
Just ask Ubisoft to remake this dlc. How hard can it be?
Is there even a new location to experience like both major content expansions for origins??
No
I thought the Leap of Faith was a ceremonial rite for the Medjay I have to replay through Origins again but I think that's the well origins of it, one argument gameplay wise for the leap of faith is so that players can get down from point a to point b, and that it's iconic for the game series (although odyssey wasn't really much of an Ass Creed game) thing is that in Valhalla you had to unlock the Leap of Faith so you literally can't have done it until someone taught it to you
Lol see I enjoyed the dlc, but I watch him for his reaction and sense of humor
I completely agree with you fizhy the question I've always asked is are the DLC's for assassin's creed considered canon
“That’s not your roof!”
Just as a note taken right from the series' lore, Aya in Origins was mentioned as a Greek in race, not Egyptian, so there is no surprise if they made her the descendant of either Alexios or Kassandra
The other points of criticism in this video are good, especially the building of the Pyramids (however, I don't know if this construction process was depicted literally, or just as part of the Animus recreation process, like the cutscenes in the beginning of each memory sequence in the Ezio trilogy for example, when the whole city appears to be recreated suddenly by the Animus)
Being a descendant of those horribly written characters just shows how the story is purely bad fanfiction level of Fifty Shades of Grey.
@@memecliparchives2254 This depends on your literary taste and the school of criticism you follow to be that prejudice against such a wonderful series in general and this part of it in particular. However, as a reader of the genre of alternative history, I find it fine to have such ups and downs in character development from time to time as the ultimate verdict should come when this series is over, something I am sad to face one day just like what happened to the Metal Gear series for example
Aya is described as Greco-Egyptian, and considering her look she's a solid mixed race, which means she probably had a Greek parent and an Egyptian one, this relation was a misinterpretation and after 300 years the Greek genes would have been diluted beyond recognition, which means other Greeks were involved anyway. The whole relation is a bit more surprising than you think.
I liked that they brought the prince of persia weapons in I didn't at first but after I did it made me happy
But arent they related? So it was passed down from darius to his kid, so on so on so on, to bayeks father?
What is better this dlc or the ac movie?
Lol man
Kassandra is better than alexios
The voice a thing i mean
Maybe try playing as her
Geralt of Rivia They're both bad
@@dragan3659 not really
I like kassandra
Geralt of Rivia when will you be in witcher 4??? I missed the Witcher
@@iungimus i won't be there
If the game actually happens
Geralt of Rivia CD project red said that they are gonna come back to the witcher it just wont have Geralt as the protagonist
Tbh I really like this dlc. Although I must say that this is no coming from an AC fan (which I am btw ) but from a fan of the greek culture. For me, in order to enjoy the story, you are going to have to imagine most of it. The voice acting of Kassandra wasn’t bad but the animations didn’t do it justice. So yeah , I actually enjoyed it
Wouldn’t it be easier to make Kassandra related to Bayek to at least somewhat explain senu.
Actually you play as Aya in some points of Origins so she does show her abilities.
That opening line. That legendary opening line!! :D
Do you even get to wield the hidden blade?
I knew from the beginning that deviating from Origins and Bayek was a bad idea. They could've had a great thing going if they decided to continue rather than going back to a "more interesting time period". Odyssey could've been a great game on it's own but by just barely latching on to the Assassin's Creed brand it does both the game and the series as a whole a disservice. I mean Odyssey is better for the gameplay but the story is severely lacking unlike Origins. Here's hoping the next game can fix things and tie all this mess together. Oh, and BRING BACK BAYEK FFS!
Honestly the ending would've made SOME sense if Aya was the main character of AC Origins as it was supposedly the original plan but Ubisoft shut that down because "Women don't sell"
So as a fan base do we decide to decanyonise the odyssey dlcs
As a video game, I love odyssey. I love the characters and even if it isn’t executed well, I loved it as a separate game. But to include it in the assassin’s creed story is an absolute embarrassment to the franchise.
In summery: Good game, must not be allowed in the franchise.
Honestly I've only played syndicate and odyssey, I got it from by bro and all the content. Kind of happy I had a glitch where legacy of the first blade wouldnt play but it would show up as I had it.
The dlc would of been much better if Darius playable in flashbacks and shows how he made the first hidden blade the only good thing about the dlc that I can have his outfit
Doesn't break lore kassandra's blood is aias and bayeks bloodline is eves so eventually desmond that's where they mix adam and eve they mix in origins
So the character in ac ancient rome is kassandra granddaughter of grandson . Because the protagonist is ment to be bayeks decendent
The fact that we can't use the hidden blade made this entire dlc storyline pointless
At the very least they could’ve made it a 1-point Assassin ability like Death Veil
