Boy, did I underestimate how much time I needed for this episode. Thank you all for your patience, and I hope you like it! This month we're taking a look into Assassin's Creed Odyssey (and to a lesser extent, AC Origins) to analyze why Ubisoft's time off and reinvention of the series aided it in growing in the future.
Also, check out our last episode: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue/Red Rescue Team!
• What's So Great About ...
Thanks for watching.

Odyssey is such an underrated game. It’s sad how many AC nerds stuck in the past hate on it. Can’t wait to play Valhalla.
Same dude.
Ac nerds are the true fans without them assassin's creed wouldn't be here so think before you talk
@@dappermoney2967 nah dude. It's like call of duty. The cod die hard fans have been whining about the changes to modern warefare since launch.
Check out every reddit thread, every youtube comment section about it. All people whining. But guess what? Modernwarfare is the most popular cod ever made. Ever.
Most people who go online and complain or talk in comments like you an me, are not the average consumer. We do not represent the majority what so ever. We are the minority.
And odyssey sold really well and got really good reviews. Despite everyones whining online. You can easily can conformation bias online.
@@user-ky9ou5dz9q they lied to the consumer of there content and backstabbed them the lore is destroyed and always will be cause of this dreadful game I think it was a great ancient greece game but the worst Assassin's creed game ever and it always will be you cannot say otherwise
@@user-ky9ou5dz9q and you can't compare cod since they are different games I'm talking about how they ruined the story of Assassin's creed but I don't see anyone complaining about the story of Cod modern warfare since it is a prequel and doesn't break lore
I think you get the best experience from the game if you're someone who's actually fascinated by Ancient Greece. A lot of the side missions were related to real historical events which made me scream "oh shit, they really put this in the game!?" it eventually made me want to explore the world and do even more side quests.
I just bought the game, and I'm not being biased because of my nostalgia to the older games. My all time favorite game is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood with Ezio; however, even though I'm a "veteran" of the AC series. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is by far a really enjoyable game to play, I recently bought the game despite the backlash it got. At first i though it would be horrible, due to the criticism given by other AC fans. I didnt let my nostalgia blind my ability to enjoy this game, and boy oh boy.....this game is good. Sure it has its few weird glitches, but what game doesnt? I cant wait to finish this game, even though it's a huge game.....I'm enjoying it
Yeah ik nostalgia should not blind is but in reality this is 25% assassins creed. I’m not saying it’s a bad game it’s really good but not an assassins creed like we used to see. Still it’s an awesome RPG but not awesome assassins creed.
There are a lot more problems than few bugs
@@luisaranda1128 i respect but this is 5 percent assasins creed and a bad rpg compares to other games
@Brandix there are bro. The characters, the story, combat, barely assasins creed, dialogue options are trash. Come on bro what lies am i telling
I enjoyed this game way more than origins though that was a good game as well.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I was getting sick of the sensationalist videos digging for excuses to complain about a game. And all the channels who are obsessed with this idea that "old is better, change is always bad"
Ac odyssey was the first game since black flag that I actually finished.
Ofyssey imo is every good a game as the witcher 3. The have their own strengths and weaknesses compared to each other, but the general gameplay and stat and gear mechanics were so much better than the witcher 3 that it makes up for the story being not AS good. Although still good.
This game was one of my favorite RPGS this entire generation. Never loved an ac game as much as I love odyssey.
Honestly, the game would be an AMAZING standalone game, but it is a terrible assassins creed game. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are amazing and the world is elite. But I just can't stand the characters and I hate how they made an AC game that didn't have any assassins, any templares, and it had gods.
@@seanmurray-macgregor4486 how many ac games have you played though in reality all the way through? Do you not remember the super technologically advanced first civilization? And there magic artifacts? Like the series gets pretty hardcore scifi fantasy. As far as you can go essentially.
And in odyssey, its explained away as technology left behind by the first civilization as essentially guard dogs.
If they just threw them in, maybe I'd see your point, but they did tie it into the ac lore pretty heavily.
They are not actual gods.
But let's say I agree that its wildly different for some reason, even though if you put any other name on this game youd absolutely see that it was an ac game after playing it for 10 minutes, so? Ac games havent been good since black flag and 3 was sub par at best. The ac games have never been masterpieces in any regard. This is still the best game with the ac name regardless of if you think its deserving of it or not.
And seriously, this game holds way to many similarities to ac to ever be called something else. What fundamental part of ac isnt in odyssey? I truly dont understand. What isnt is superficial. In practice you are following the same types of plots, in the same setting, with the same lore, doing the same exact things.
Hunting down ancient scifi tech.
Hunting down and assassinating leaders of a facist group of super elites hell bent on total control with a group of historical figures.
3rd person action adventure open worlds
An emphasis on stealth
Emphasis on verticality and freedom of movement/parkour
A modern day element in which you play as a character time traveling essentially with matrix like technology.
The historical settings themselves being the main backdrop
So on and so forth. All the main pillars are absolutely undeniably there. Those things would stick out like a sore thumb with any other name. If those things arenr enough for you to call the game ac, I dont understand what is. Everything else feels rather surface level. Like what you call groups that do the exact same things with very similar goals. Or the fact you use a different weapon to do the exact same things.
I also find it odd that you complain about monsters and gods and what not when in ac 3 you foight a super powered evil George Washington. Who had legit super powers. Idk man. Odd complaint to complain about fantasy or scifi elements in ac when in the first trilogy of games you're hunting down a magic egg that can mind control the entire planet or whatever
@@user-ky9ou5dz9q I'm pretty glad to say I've played each and every AC game besides oddysey and Syndicate all the way through, because both stories were terrible. And as I said, oddysey would be a pretty good standalone game. But the new games have become COMPLETELY invested in gods and scifi, while the old games had historical accuracy and relatively realistic battles where a random animal nearby wasn't a damage sponge.
And I saw a video that perfectly summed up Alexios and Kassandra. They are shells. They aren't really characters. Your choices don't influence the game and they have no set morals or principles, you choose what happens, and nothing happens because of that. No matter what you choose it does not influence whether they are good or bad. It only influences one fight or bit of dialogue.
The map, is amazing, the graphics are great, but it felt empty. I didn't get satisfaction like I did with every other game just walking through the streets. The map was so big it got to the point that it just seemed like they were trying to impress people with size over quality.
I will agree, the old games got a bit odd with the Scifi and God related stuff, but it wasn't a large part of the games. I absolutely hated how you could verse mythical creatures, as even though it is apart of the mythology they believed in, it isn't historically accurate. I disagree with them creating powerful creatures to destroy because it takes away from what the franchise once was.
And finally, the game in general. I know AC was becoming slightly repetitive, but they are leading the game in a bad way. Assassins Creed Oddysey does not even have Assassins in it, that's how far they've strayed. And yeah you can argue as much as you want about how good the game is meant to be. But it isn't a game that should be apart of the franchise. It's quite sad that some fans are just asking to simply have assassins in the game now.
@@seanmurray-macgregor4486 the dialogue system works exactly like the witcher 3. Same causes and effects except theres more of them.
And I HIGHLY disagree about the story. Odyssey had the best writing in the series.
And are you sure you played the other games? Lol. Theres always been a ton of scifi in the series. It's always been scifi lol. In each any every game you're protecting the world from an evil organization hell bent in using ancient alien tech to do all sorts of scifi fantasy stuff. The first few games you were hunting down a magic egg.
Odyssey has less scifi than the Desmond trilogy debatably.
And the historical accuracy within the setting is through the rough. Have you not done the tour mode? Theres not a single other game on the market in that game period with historical accuracy like that.
You're really reaching and being incredibly biased. You're choosing to ignore all the other games where the same is true. You have selective bias here.
Do you not remember ac 3? The bear slam and all the mystical elements with the native Americans? Or eternal king George Washington? Lmao. Like come on dude. The entire series foundation is within scifi. That's how you get to the time periods in the first place. In a lot of the games you start in a super high tech evil company looking for ways to get information about magic ancient artifacts to take over the world. By using the matrix essentially lol. Sooooooo
Also, as far as open world. Cmon man. Really? Its packed full of more content than the witcher 3 and is incredibly dynamic. There factually has not been a single other ac game with quests as detailed as these, as long as these, and were the focus is no longer just little collectables and challenge missions. Theres so much I the open world. Every single couple hundred meters there something. The open world is factually the most dense in the series.
The other games had boring open worlds. They looked really nice, the npcs were plentiful. But there was nothing to do but the old school open world shit. The spiderman ps4 type of stuff. Really shallow and repetitive. Theres so much variety in odyssey you could spend hours in the game at a time and not do one of each.
You have tons of targets to hunt, bounty hunters to hunt or hide from, massive massive bases to plunder, underwater caves to discover, normal caves, bosses to find, ships to battle and upgrade, an insane amount of high quality well written quests with branching paths to partake in thats closest rival is the witcher 3, incredibly varied combat, tons and tons and tons if gear to collect and builds to create, bounties to do, enemy camps to raid, large scale battles to fight as factions to side with, wild life to hunt, tombs to explore, it just keeps going and going and going.
And it's nearly all far far far more involved than any previous game. Come on man, say what you want about the story and what not, but a huge amount of high quality content in it's open world is not one of its issues. At least be honest about that. At the very least relative to the rest of the franchise. Theres not a single other ac game with more content and variety and scope in it content.
@@user-ky9ou5dz9q watch lazerzz odyssey broke me. Then youll wake up to the garbage oddyesy is. The main quests are just open wprld stuff such as raid a fort or burn treasure. The questions marks like the witcher 3 are boring. Hey go here no explorstion this one exact spot where you kill 5 captains and steal loot. Enthrawling gameplay. Next the dialoglgue choices impact. No way in hell, u might kill or save one dude. Wow so cool i love making one choice and i can save a baby or kill a woman. Just to be able to kill the woman later. Also the witchers endings were meaningful. With the cultist ending nothing happens except wow the leader got away. Next, the atlantis one is boring and i litterally died at kassasndra wearing a suit. The dumbest thing. Finally the family ending only gives you more lieutenants. You call those meaningful endings if you do ur stupid. The world is a shell with half the world used for nothing. The npcs are just boring with nothing to them except for sit and walk. Wow so amazing. Finally ac used to be about people working from the dark to serve the light. Everyone did it. Even the bad characters like jacob and evie actually made you embody that role. Oddyesy just rips apart the series. The series is long dead but this game really destroys all reputation this series held to other gamers and to my heart.
This is honestly the game which got me into action/adventure RPGs. Well worth the money!
This is a great assassins Creed game I love it soooooooo much 10/10
True
Ur jk right
Its soo bad
@@basslootweg1645 no it’s like the best
@@puzkinamvs4136 its sooo bad
Odyssey is great. After i beat Valhalla, i tried out Odyssey its incredible
Totally agree, I think the thing that the majority of AC fans have in common is their love for history and being able to explore historic eras, cities, monuments aswell as meet historic people. The game being set in Ancient Greece is obviously the big selling point and any history lover is bound to love the landscape and storytelling especially the mythology included. Many AC fans will look for reasons to hate on it as it’s different to the other games, you do get forced into a lot of battles and there aren’t as many assassinations but you can choose to play the majority of the game stealthy if you wanted to which is what I do. People need to remember that this game is an explanation to the Isu - human bloodline and also offers more history and lore to the origins of the Templar’s/Abstergo. If you want a game about assassins then this isn’t the game for you but it’s still an amazing game, has amazing scenery, accurate history, many different islands and locations to explore and you can even see the start of the Makedonian empire, can’t wait for Valhalla !
If you want a game about assassins then this isn’t the game for you
its called assassins creed it should be about assassins
@@itsniko4563 wow yep and u profile name is niko so u name is niko pff shut up
@@justagreekguywithaspacesui9084 damn bro you killed me
@@itsniko4563 2 years late lol but it's the lore. The lore is where she fits in, and using the spear which is an artifact she fits in very well with the lore as a whole. Besides, noone liked those older AC games and sales showed. Even the most hardcore fans complained about the same gameplay.
Imo, Valhalla is a great sept to find the perfect middle ground between assassin's Creed of old and new with he return of social stealth.
Water effects are the best I have ever seen in a game
@@superdudeperfect Honestly the water is better than in RDR 2. Not everything about RDR 2 is the best out of all games.
@@MBM1117727maybe its cause the water looks more colorful. Rdr2 is definitely meant to be realistic
@@ArnikaandMe it's just more dynamic in aco
Thank you! I replayed this during quarantine, and the hate was annoying! Yes, it is RPG, which is different from others. But, different mechanics can HELP . This video is great because fans hate on it bc different mechanics, but ive played since Black Flag. (Yes I played the earlier ones, but later than when they were released. This game is amazing!
That its not the only problem, the main problem its the lore breaking stuff that happens on the mechanics, the diferent choises for answering a question which breakes lore even more, the interchangable character stuff and the story, because the game is calles assasins creed but there are no assasins inthe game, no templars and it just became a ripoff from the witcher and god of war that is why the game sucks
@@superdudeperfect how is she not a character? do you know kassandra's importance in all AC games? If kasaandra wasn't born then the Cult of cosmos would have found atlantis, used the pieces of eden to rule the world, AYA wouldn't have been born and wouldn't have formed the hidden ones with bayek and then desmond wouldn't have been born and the entire world would have been destroyed
@@superdudeperfect real world history has always been a key element of AC and especially in odyssey. but I don't remember any eden thing you are taking about cause I played origins 4 years ago but I will be back with you when I do
@@superdudeperfect sure that's your opinion, 21 million people will disagree with that but if you don't like it don't force your opinion on others
@@superdudeperfect but I mean odyssey clicks in with other AC titles perfectly except ORIGINS because Both Odyssey and Origins started development at the same time and the couldn't connect both stories when one side doesn't exist
Comment section restored my faith in AC fans.
The ones praising the game or the ones bitching about it?
@@biofriik That people didn't unanimously fall into praising things that look shinier and cared for the reason.
The Things I love about ODESSEY and ORIGINS are that I can explore ancient Greece and Egypt respectively. I really haven't played any AC game before Odessey bec I just don't like them. I mean now I feel that they are a masterpiece but BEFORE that realisation I fell in love with Odessey. Ancient Greece is too damn beautiful. Same thing with Egypt. I wanted to look and visit the pyramids when they were in there original form with the golden top. But Valhalla disappointed me, I waited for that game for soo long and saved money for it. Ancient England and Norway has nothing special.
I have played all assassins creed games except Syndicate and Origins and I swear, Odyssey was the best game. It was so fun and the map was huge. Even if the Hidden Blade wasn’t in the game, it was still fun and stuff. The best thing is raid forts because you can go up on a high roof and use the spartan kick and kick down your enemies
@Ahsoka Skywalker there is so much wrong with both of these comments
@@hamoodhabibi2039 true, how is this shit is better than ezio, altair,desmond, arno,edward, connor storylines.
@@rajeevkunapareddy1182 exactly, i mean alexios and kassandra dont even have personality traits. While i dont like connor as much oddyseys protagonists makes connor seem like a fucking god and thats ironic bc alexios and kassandra have god powers for some reason
@@hamoodhabibi2039 same for me too, connor was one of the weak points of ac3 cause the developers did not dive much into his story but even then, ac3 looked like a masterpiece when i played it a month ago.
Origins is literally odyssey just much less bloated and with an amazing story
Gamers be like "this series of games are getting stale" *developers change some things to freshen*
"This isn't the same game I remember playing years ago! Why did they change it?"
People complain about Far Cry getting stale and you just wait until they try to change up the formula and then people will say "THIS ISN'T FAR CRY!!!"
Thank you for sharing such amazing thoughts on the game. I personally enjoyed it a lot, and indeed the game Is full of incredible features, beautiful places and landscapes and a catchy story. I still don't understand why it's getting more common to just hate a game because you didn't like it, or because you prefer an older one. Great video! You now have a new subscriber ;)
Glad to have you!
Ngl I fucking love this game. Not as an assassins creed game but as an exploration game
What was your favorite part? Searching the same caves or taking out the 50th bandit camp?
@@superdudeperfect Lol
Fact, when you get this game or go into this game, know that you're about to play an rp fucking g guys, lmao, just enjoy the game for what it is, not what its called, and not its legacy
This game had such a great vibe and story. And the graphics of it are still beautiful in 2023. One of the best in the series, despite of all old style nerds hating it.
I bought the game 3 days ago and now I am 27 hours in and it is amazing! So efficient with the player's time, super high quality missions, dialogue, fighting, graphics, story. Hunting the cult is so much fun too. This might be my new favorite RPG.
Im sorry but the dialogue and missions are good? The dialogue are just different options for the sake of gameplay and the missions are repetitive.
@@loganthompson5667 Like the actual voice acting and character interactions with dialogue is really good yeah. Like way way infinitely better than games like skyrim or borderlands. The missions also get repetitive after 30 or so hours, but most big video games missions get repetitive after about 10 hours (again like skyrim, borderlands, witcher 3, gta 5).
@@ahuman8657 The missions are, bar a few, go to a camp, kill a captain, loot a chest. Repeat. That isn't a quest it is a chore. In Skyrim the side stories are different and allow the player to experience different things based on their choices. Odysseys dialogue does not affect the world at all, one or two choices really matter.
Copy this link and watch the video it explains why odyssey is not a good game. I am not trying to attack your opinion btw.
ruclips.net/video/aCuXlPC6gsQ/видео.html
@Chaitnya Singh I did not insult him or make fun of him but am trying to explain my opinion. Which is that ac odyssey is not a good game.
@@loganthompson5667 coming from someone who doesn't normally play single player games and gets easily bored by them, I got hooked on AC Odyssey. The spartan theme is just too interesting and the intro reminds me a lot of 300.
So if they can make it interesting for someone like me who gets bored to hell by single player story / open world games, I say it's a great game.
I enjoy the game more than origins people hated beucase its not 100/100 a assasin game
it’s an astounding game honestly i love how lighthearted and badass it is
Great video!
I've been playing since AC 1, played them all. Odyssey is still fucking great. It's an amazing game with a great story and world. And yes, it's also a good game in the Assassin's Creed franchise. People need to get over themselves.
Totally agree
I agree with you. Older Assassin's Creed Games were too simple.
They were still great
Just because there aren’t actual Assassins and Templars doesn’t mean it isn’t Assassin’s Creed. You still fight against tyranny while fighting for free will and freedom. The DLC also ties into Origins and Origins ties into the main story. The Cults of Kosmos and Ancients look like just like pre-Templars to me, you still have to take and protect several Artifacts that would be awful in the hands of the tyrants, you have to destroy their Artifact, and you still have the core of Assassin’s Creed in this game, the First Civilization. Desmond’s entire story is about the First Civilization!! Anyone who says this isn’t Assassin’s Creed is a fool who’s oblivious to the obvious. However, the character development and direction could’ve been better though. I didn’t like that there was a choice for every bit of dialogue in the game, I don’t want the character to be like me, I want the character to be the character’s own person. That’s the ONLY complaint I have for this game. While the playable character could’ve been their own person, the scenes in the game were amazing, the story is amazing. Last but not least who doesn’t like Sparta? Seriously is their ANYONE who dislikes Sparta and the rest of Ancient Greece?
I don't think people even care about modern day or first civilization they only care about assassin's and Templars because that is what the series is about
@@troymakay796 no it is not. Again, you simply dont seem to understand what ac actually is. This idea that if they arent called assassins and called the templars by name even when they serve the exact same purpose is insanity.
Tou can have your opinion all you want, but saying it's not assassins creed becuase of symantics in name changes, I'm just not even going to take it as a legitimate critique.
I dont think you know what you want. You just enjoy complaining or parroting whatever reddit post or edgy whiney hipster youtuber you watch.
It bugs me to no end, to no end that people say it's not ac because of symantics in what the organizations are called. Like you're doing the exact same things, as you already pointed out, with groups that serve the exact same purpose and role. I truly dont understand what it is.
Its gotta be just bandwagoning or selective bias. This generation has create this wave of over critical whiney gaming hipsters that bug the hell out of me and really destroy the reputation of games that dont deserve it given ANY opportunity to do so.
Ac isnt ac because the templars and assassins srent called templars and assassins lmao. Give me a break.
Fuck You, bro he didn’t even say that. He’s just calling the groups by there original names. Odyssey is not an Assassins Creed game it poorly portrays the isu and in no way is an rpg. What is the point in making a game that takes place before Origins but only is connected to it in the DLCs.
@@ar6assassin913 it takes place hundreds of years before origns... how do you tie that in?
And orgins was the orign in of the order, odyssey was the orgin of the templars. Understand? The secret societies in odyssey become the templars down the line. Were you even paying attention?
The spear is also heavily tied to ac lore. It's another artifact. You know, the ones they are constantly hunting in all the gamea? And isu was ALWAYS a huge part of ac lore and it was usually done horribly. Here it's actually interesting and ties in nicely with the rest of the lore. It's not just some after thought like the isu felt like in previous titles.
I didn't know what to expect due to all the negative reviews but I was pleasantly pleased with the game. Was playing origins for the 2nd time a day before I brought odyssey, so far I haven't been back to origins since I brought odyssey 😄 I thought I'd miss the hidden blade but you need to understand odyssey is before origins so the hidden blade wasn't a thing at that time. Assassins creed isn't just about assassins it's mainly about historical parts of time as well.
Reading these hate comments still make me laugh ever since release 😂 whine whine whine
While the game does suffer in the story department and it can get bland at times I find it my favorite game because while I have the option to go and be super stealthy and plot out how to take down a huge fortress silently, I also love that I can just say “forget this” and just go on a one man rampage through an army. I just find it more of the style of game I like compared to the original games
it's definitely interesting. You can be an assassin or a warrior
I've played alot of assassins creed games, I'm buying odyssey because I like the Greek mythology and I Just feel like I'll enjoy it as an rpg game, yes it doesnt feel like an assassins creed game, that's because the assassins didn't even exist until origins, yes that makes the point of adding "assassins creed " in the title of the game but at least it shows that its part of the storyline
Exactly I don't see how it can be a "assassin's creed game" but have none of the technology. And I can't wait for Valhalla I hope the world serpent
Is in it
yeah i agree. i also enjoyed the dlcs a lot
thank you for that video, cause i loved AC odyssey and almost everywhere i go, i see people trashing about this magnificent game or not fully describing how good it is. You said everything and big prups to you.
Played odyssey 2500 hours...valhalla I gave up after 120 hours...is too boring...
People are blinded by the past AC games , people fail to realise that , the old AC formula was getting stale. AC Oddysey changed changed the franchise a really good way. I played a few older AC games like AC3 and Brotherhood however Oddysey in my opinion is a fresh breath of air into the franchise . The story was interesting especially the Deimos plot line despite not adding anything to the overall AC story but I am fine with that. The world was astounding beutiful hand crafted locations such as Athens , Atlantis , beautiful lang scapes however some parts off the world in particular Boetia were quiet empty and not worth exploring. The game had a fun gameplay loop and collecting resources was diverse , if you want you can grind resources from bases or ship battles or sidequests or mining and hunting. The RPG aspect was also really good it wasn't over complicated , it offered skills for 3 main types of playstyles. The customisation was also good offering different armours to fit every kind of players taste.
Can’t wait to dive into this game. Just started it today and just downloaded the Season pass that was on sale because of cyber Monday. I hear the DLC is awesome. Can’t wait!!!!!
yesss i found both the dlcs really fun
How did you like it? Or how are you liking it?
@@XavierMacX haven’t even touched it to be honest...
@@jackiemehoff8239 haha oh well. I do that all the time with games as well.
@@XavierMacX lol I am horrible at just buying a new game when it comes out then not touching it till like a year or so. I am now playing Resident evil Village and God Of War(2018)
Chill guys just smoke some weed and play this game is dope not everything gotta be perfect all the time
One of the best games I have ever played
Man I'm only level 9 but damn this game i great. I like the stealth too
Great video
Thanks!
Alexios=Spartan Geralt
Where can I go to get enough points to reach level 9? Th Athenians keep beating me in war.
Fox Mcloud Just do EVERY SINGLE QUEST that is either epic or legendary XP reward, and Do quests that are either 2 levels below you or above you.
I'll try but I think I already did try that. hard to do at level 9 I reckon
You need to make a ubisoft account and play XP farms created by other players. Also take advantage of the bountys and contracts.
Saying that Odyssey isn't a Assassins Creed game is like saying Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 arent fallout games bc the og was from birds eye view
@@raptorrampager108 I mean, that is your opinion, bc I love it. But I respect everyones opinions
True af
Bitch ur smoking, it’s probably one of my favorite ones to be stealthy in, da fuck how is it not an ac game?
Well that's almost true. AC origins, odyssey, valhalla aren't true AC games. Which I have been loving valhalla, it's become one of the 4 ac games I actually like (black flag, ac 2, brotherhood). But Valhalla isn't like the AC games I used to play. I think these games are good for AC lore, as I love AC lore, but that's about it for odyssey (haven't beaten origins).
I do agree with the fact that games need to evolve, but games need to evolve, not lose their identity. AC has lost its identity, it's not AC anymore.
Fallout 3 and 4 aren't true fallout games. They're just elder scrolls games with guns. Fallout 1-2 were really really different. New Vegas kinda combined both the 2.
Odyssey is in the AC franchise, but it doesn't carry on the AC identity.
Exactly!!!!!
Great answer!!!
Yep, my opinion is that the game is great. Exciting gameplay with varied playstyles and abilities, beautiful world and landmarks , good graphics, even if the story is not about the assasins , i think its about how the templars appeared or about we trying to find an impotant artefact to hide it from abstergo( i dunno i didnt finished the game yet) its still very good
5:30 LOL do not get me wrong, I love this game, I have 150 hours in it rn and I'm still playing it and I plan to 100% it but how in the hell is a game forcing you to get certain abilities EVER a good thing, especially when it's a game based around your choices???? That's why I can't stand the forced fighting segments in the game (there's technically only 2 with the first conquest battle and the swordfish fight but they're both awful) especially if you, like me, wanted to play a stealth build and didn't spec into warrior builds at all bc you expected to have a choice in how you approach each combat scenario. I had to grind for 3 hours to do the first conquest battle and progress in the game and it was horrendous bc the game never told me I was supposed to spec into warrior skills. If you're going to force warrior segments, how about giving player those skills as a base without wasting the extremely limited ability points (especially considering how long it takes to level up sometimes) and then letting them build off of that if they want to? That's not something you should be praising the game for. It's actively taking away player choice by forcing them to spec into builds they don't want to to stand a chance against stronger enemies. That's a very bad thing, it's like game design 101, especially for games like Odyssey built completely around player choice.
I have played a stealth build and do those easily (also like you I do too have over 100 hours on the game) cause by that time of those two forced fights scene you were talking about you kinda have a grasp on how to get a good hand of your combat no matter what build. But I think though you have made good points and despite me response I still think that yes they could have done better. Have a nice day.
@@fistfightersclub I mean, on lower difficulties it must be easier but I played on nightmare so most enemies two shot me and I didn't have any of the abilities in the warrior tree at the point which is why I had to grind. The first conquest battle was a nightmare and I had to sort of cheese the swordfish fight by abusing the water in the cave. It was not very fun experience either time. It's not like the combat is particularly hard, just that my damage output and the enemy's damage output was too unmatched because the game expected you to at least have a few warrior abilities at that point. So it was practically impossible to get through it on nightmare without grinding or cheesing. It's definitely possible to get through the rest of the game all stealth tho except for the forced conquest battles later (but that's why you have the hero strike which can help immensely in combat).
I really do love this game - as much as ac1 and the ezio trilogy will always sit on top, Odyssey outshines them and some crazy ways - SUCH a fun game. I actually limit myself when fleetingly thinking about starting it again because I know I'm going to go in and it's going to be three straight months a beating, sleeping, and breathing Odyssey before I put it down again
I understand your opinions but why are you throwing shade on the older games?
Chef’s Kiss 😘
Got Odyssey after hearing so much bad stuff about it, and not that I have it, it is probably one of the most addictive games I've played. I get it doesn't feel like our days of Altäir, or everyones favorite Ezio. But if you wanna play like an Assassin, you certainly can. Unlocked the Assassin hood and rarely change it out, only upgrading it. Stealth is fun, but kicking ass is just as fun. Not to mention the Cult. Personally I like this precursor to the Templars. I've been playing since the first game and I honestly like the way things have changed up, I really hope with Valhalla we have no modern story to go by and are purely in the past.
Finally someone with a brain
nope the cult has nothing to do with the templars ubisoft said while its a great game is a awfull AC game
@@itsniko4563 The templars are the order of the ancien in the first DLC
@@itsniko4563 old AC games were bad AC games lol rather too easy, samey, and impossible to die. It's really cutscenes that we played for lol
i am doing a play through of every game. and honestly playing through 3 and 4 feels almost exactly the same as playing Origins or Odyssey.
There really not that different from the old games.
The unnecessary hate for Odyssey is just ridiculous
it has nothing and i mean nothing to do with assassins and Templar which if you didn't know is what makes assassin creed. change is good but when its a entire new game its gets bad. ubisoft put assassin creed in the tittle to make money. change is good but make it a Assassin creed title also the rpg aspect sucks. let me guess the only assassin creed game you played was origins and Odyssey. origins at least has something to do about the lore
ultimate gaming bros dude the game takes 400 yrs before the creed is even created. What do you expect. People with hoods jumping around fighting Templar’s 😂😂😂😂we’re in Ancient Greece! The only thing they could work with was the Isu. And stop with this “no Templar” shit, Cult of kosmos was obviously a predecessor to the Templars and u know it. Did the same exact shit. Maybe you don’t like the story because it doesn’t use the old formula but I guarantee they will bring it back in vallhalla because it’s not ancient history!!!
ultimate gaming bros I obviously think they need to bring back the main focus of the game back to stealth and parkour but you gotta know Assassins creed to get the context of odyssey. It was a great game in my opinion not the best. I’ve been playing since AC2. This game is placed right before Ac1 so they have to bring back all the main components
@@devinperry5704 honestly it shouldent have been a main ac game
@@itsniko4563 Well, they didn't just slap that title on it to make money. They changed the formula, yet they kept mechanics like some Assassinations. Just bc u dont like it, doesnt mean it was a cash grab with a major franchise name on it.
it would make sense that, combat would be different in those times spartan / Viking era than when bayek formed the brotherhood, then assassination techniques would start being approved on overtime
Ac oydessy is much fun and awesome rpg in 2023
Can't really say that much about any of the Assassin's Creed games, having never played any of them... so instead I'll ask, are Final Fantasy VII and Undertale on the to-do list for What's So Great About Gaming? I'd say wait until next year to do a video for Undertale, since it's the game's 10-year-anniversary, but I'm sure Final Fantasy VII is only a matter of time...
They've both definitely been on the list since day one, but some games take a few play-throughs to fully appreciate (or understand), lol.
My only takeaway from this video was how Amazing Altair was and how deeply I miss AC 1-Brotherhood. Damn, Patrice Desilets, Corey May & Jade Raymond did a Helluva job with this series...Bravo!!! 👏🏾😭🎮🏆
I miss Spartan kick in Valhalla 😂
But it is here: ruclips.net/video/ykt7-x9WD9Y/видео.html😂😂
Do you guys think the map in odyssey is just a copy paste for every village/urban area? Or not? I’d like to know your opinions.
well most of the villages look really similiar, but the urban areas are memorable and look really good. i loved korinth and elis
i do like and it runs well on my pc. but it is soooooo long, i haven't even finished it yet.
its an rpg. thats how it should be
Isn’t alexios/Kassandra related to bayek
They are related to Aya
I was apprehensive i played origins and ppl online were like nooo odyssey sucks. But no i think its great and i beat origins and a few of the oldschool ezio ones. Odyssey is a solid ac game in my opinio
ODYSSEY THE BEST GAME EVER MADE
I would like to say that I really liked the game cause in terms of story line it goes really well as in the old Greece which involved isu tampering in the story line .... This game is of course not Assassin game cause Assassin's were born after Odyssey i.e in origins . Odyssey gives the connection to all the old game i.e aya AKA amunet who started the Assassin's brotherhood with bayek
The Parkour in Odyssey in not good because the protagonist in actually a fighter than Assassin , the hidden blade was passed from Darius to aya which was given to bayek and passed on ...
it is ac because it shows how the cult of cosmos became the templars so it is not "before ac"
@@mynamedoesntfi--6161 If it’s an AC game where are the assassins?
@@belligerent2941 are you fucking stupid? OK so let me explain this in a way your small EGO will understand. Odyssey tells the origins of the order of the ancients who become the templars, it also tells about how the first hidden blade was made. So if you played Origins you would know that Bayek and Aya (Great Great grandchild of Kassandra) formed the Hidden Ones to defeat the Order of The Ancients. So yeah Odyssey Might not have assassins in it but with out Odyssey the assassins wouldn't exist. Your logic is that a Star Wars movie that tells the Origins of the Sith and The Origins Of The First Lightsaber but does not include Jedi ,because they don't exist yet considering they only exist because of the sith, isn't a canon Star Wars Movie??
@@mynamedoesntfi--6161 Star Wars is about wars that take place up in the stars it’s not called Jedi wars so like I said where are the assassins? Cause i don’t remember the game being called ancient wars.
@@belligerent2941 there is no reasoning with that logic. You totally missed my entire point
Idk but I didn’t like the game for a first few hours but then idk wtf happened all the sudden I was hooked 😂
because the characters are relatable and likeable. An orphan raised by strangers who treated you like a true family, it gets you hooked. The character conflicts aren't too over the top, but something we face in our own relationships
AC Odyssey is a great game. Undeniably. The real Cult of Kosmos are the sheeplike legions that are told it's terrible and repeat it uncritically. Totally absurd.
This game is focused on rpg its not an "assassin creed" game.
Reasons why people hate it:
-no hidden blade
-bad stealth
-bad fighting mechanics
-story isn’t that great
-fights take ages
-no social stealth(u just need a bush lol)
People who play ac is mainly for stealth it is what makes the game fun. People who play this are very interested into a type of rpg game but the old ac members disliked it a lot. It is still a great game but it is not like the other assassin creed game. When I want to play assassin creed I wanted to play "assassin creed".
what exactly is bad about the stealth? Using abilities makes the stealth pretty fun and it's more challenging than in the old AC games.
@@Caes3r_ it’s not like the old ac, mostly people who plays old ac dislike this series a lot, it’s not the ac we expected.
@@Caes3r_ abilities are fun to use but there’s no one shot kill and the stealth of this game is no near any other ac game
@@davidtrusty676 if you level your assassination skills enough you can one shot kill even tougher enemies and if you can't one shot someone you can quickly use an ability that deals lot of damage and done.
I see why all the og fans don't like Odyssey since there isn't much Assassin's Creed lore but stealth still exists and it's very important if you don't want to fight a whole fortress alone.
@@Caes3r_ if ur an old ac player you'll understand
Cant just push aside parkour, they already pushed aside the assassins and templars... I dont know where I stand with this game, its installing rn. I'm going into this game like it isnt named assassins creed. I have hope it is good is all.
It really is so different. I'm a die-hard AC fan in regards to the lore and changes over each game. This one I just enjoyed as its own game, not necessarily as part of the series, because honestly it doesn't pair itself with the rest of the series too deeply. I hope you enjoy it!
@@WhatsSoGreatAboutGaming a die hard ac fan who doesn't give a fuck about the lore is not a die hard ac fan. Yr either lieing to yrself or lieing to us
don't listen to people
SPOILER!!
odyssey is the origins of the templars
commentors, read ur own comments before posting them, its a good ancient greece witcher game but there no way this is connected to ac title. its just a super demigod that destroyed everything. even this stupid video is indirectly claiming this to be a proper rpg with less stealth and assassins but that just swooshed past his brain
It isnt even a good rpg game its just filler copy paste content with a story that doesnt even come close to that of the witcher 3. Combat is shit, microtransactions are all over the place, its a grindy mess that pushes you to buy microtransactions and xp boosters, Shit protagonists with no personality traits but its a set protagonist wich mixes like shit together. Theres also pointless romance options used to make all the 13 yr olds playing the game like it, while the open world is beautifull its way to big and theres nothing intersting to do, there is only poitless side objectives like killing a fat guy or destroying some loot. Overall: shit ac game and shit rpg game.
Did not like the previous AC games till Odyssey. Very happy with it, got something to play till cyberpunk.
It's definitely got way more play time than the other Assassin's Creed games, good to hope into for a little while just to do a couple quests.
So wait im 2 minutes into the game and ur saying that it's a good thing that assassin's creed is no longer about the assassins or their creed and how assassin's creed which is all about stealth but now has no stealth is also a good thing
I really liked this game . I didn’t hate on it bc it’s not the same as the old ones that’s just biased
I loved this game but the story felt a little too long
Only thing I didn't like about Odyssey is that 2 f*cking times saved file dissapiered.. first time I replayed story again to where I left, secound time I gave up. I WANT TO PLAY AC ODYSSEY BUT NOT REPLAY.
Assassin's creed games are known not for rpgs but for its different and natural fights, stealth, stories and all. Odyssey destroyed it. Its like playing god of war in asssins creed world. I'm not saying odyssey type of game sis bad. But for a person who wants to play the real 'assassin's creed' game this 'god of war creed' destroys their expectations a. And when someone says there is a need for change I agree with that but not this type of rpg and supernatural change is what we want. Bcuz I'm. Playing assassin's creed for things this franchise is famous for. If u want to play a game like odyssey go and play god of war, mortal kombat and all. Why should we bring it into asssins creed games and ruin it.
Exactly
These Ubisoft Quebec ass lickers are so convinced on this paid reviews to promote this shitty game. They even compared it to TW3 because of the dialogue choices? Wtf, dialogue choice of what, which exactly did it affected, the number of Liutenants you will get at the end of the game? That's it? No character development, nothing at all, you can plough all civilian and kill the shit out of them then u still become the hero at the end of the day. Poor and very lazy writing, especially the DLC hidden blade. What a fucking joke for a RPG or even an Assassin's Creed game.

I don't think its a very good RPG, but definitely a step in the right direction that way. And its not seamless in the transition they are wanting to undergo for the franchise; there are a lot of plot holes and things that don't make sense for the lore. You also aren't really an assassin anymore... Despite these things, I found myself loving every second of this game. Which surprised me because I didn't enjoy origins as much as I had expected to.
(At least as kassandra) I found myself immersed in the world around me and the storyline that I felt I was carving myself. I like exploring. On my first Skyrim playthrough, I didn't even start the main questline until i was like level 45 or something. And the only reason I did, was because another quest I was trying to complete (i think one from the mages guild) required a dragon scroll... Which you get from doing the main story. Odyssey quenched that desire to immerse myself in a beautiful landscape with new fighting mechanics that I loved. The spear of leonidas is such a fun item to play with and I find myself strategizing around its use constantly.
Its a great game that doesn't get the credit it deserves because of the AC label. I think fans of the franchise need to realize that the same old formula is stale at this point, (coming from a fan) and although its not a seamless transition, I think its one that benefits the franchise in the long run, as well as filling a gap in an industry that is pumped full of just garbage games. Odyssey isn't perfect, but its a GOOD GAME. And tbh, whenever I see people dismissing that just because it doesn't perfectly align with all of the lore... I feel like they haven't looked around at the gaming industry atm and need to realize just how grateful we should be that this franchise even still exists and is making money, while also creating competent games that can capture imaginations. Its something new. And in this case i think that's good.
it has nothing and i mean nothing to do with assassins and Templar which if you didn't know is what makes assassin creed. change is good but when its a entire new game its gets bad. ubisoft put assassin creed in the tittle to make money. change is good but make it a Assassin creed title also the rpg aspect sucks. let me giess the only assasin creeed game you played was origins and Odyssey. origins at least has something to do about the lore
@@itsniko4563 actually I've been playing since the first AC so... Yeah. And you say it has nothing to do with the templars... While that may be literally true it isn't actually fully true. We know from history that there were cults that predated the Templars that later on formed into the templars. For example the Pythagoreans which are part of the odyssey story. I think exploring the prehistory of the Templars is an interesting route for them to take, and i enjoy it. Sue me 🙌
@@charitybrook6279 your names charity i dont know why your parents would curse you with that name
@@itsniko4563 ... Aight then Idk what that has to do with anything but go off I guess 🤙
@@charitybrook6279 its alright your aloud to be wrong
I'm not completely against AC being an RPG, but I don't agree Odyssey is a very good example of one, nor does it suit the narrative of the series. Change is fine and while I'm not happy with the new direction, I don't believe every entry needs to appeal to me personally, I can always replay the games I prefer. But its the failings in the narrative which irk me more, as that damages the story, both moving forward and in retrospect.
NoTruths
I do wish they had more of the Assassin’s Creed lore/arc weaved into Odyssey. I was surprised by how little the main storyline had to do with the established assassin’s creed universe. I suppose some of that is to be expected when the narrative pre-dates the origin of the brotherhood, but even just more references would have been pleasant without having to play the side-quests/dlc.
Hopefully the next game includes more of the brotherhood and can mix a little bit of new and old AC play styles.
@@WhatsSoGreatAboutGaming Well I have more issues with how the Origin of the Brotherhood was handled, and the lack of a Brotherhood in Odyssey didn't (I feel) need to be an issue, not so long as the ideology and/or conflict was still explored. Odyssey could have been more about the general ideology the Assassin's follow, with Origins being the beginnings of their methods and Creed.
As it stands, its all a bit of a mess and It's difficult to see how they can satisfyingly move forward from where they are.
NoTruths
That definitely could have been a good approach for them to take. I’m really curious as to what level of communication was made between the two teams as they worked on each game. Hopefully they’ve had their fun with the ancient stories and the next title will focus more on the story we love. I thoroughly enjoy the little pieces of recorded history getting a dash of fantasy or conspiracy-esque explanations, and that was really missing from Odyssey.
I just got this game a few weeks ago and I can’t put it down. Whatever genre it is, and whether it has creed lore in it or not, I want more. Basically I’m excited for the next installment regardlessz
NoTruths but it’s a good game just not a good assassin’s creed game
This reminds me, "no US - I don't want to ignore my Assassin's Creed 1-6 continuity, set that to the side for a few years & pick up 'n play your custom made sjw simulator (7-9)". Yup, I'm still good on that. 😐
Do what? What about any of tje games are sjw? Lmao
@@brandonpick1486 lol, you're kidding right?
@@duaneprice4092 no i'm not kidding. I have never noticed any kind of sjw stuff in any of these games.
@@brandonpick1486 Okay, so - Patrice Desilets, Jade Raymond & Corey May created/built Assassin's Creed as we know and love it today. That is due in large part to Patrice's creative direction on I, II & Brotherhood (arguably the gold standard of AC). Jade co-produced I & Exec'd II while directing Unity (5). Corey wrote them all, except Unity - that was Jade's baby...in doing so made the story flow and maintained continuity within it from 1 installment to the next, he made it all make sense. They all departed the company around 2014-2015, Corey being the last to go and leaving us with the Masterpiece that is Syndicate, we've missed him the most because, remember he's the continuity guy...once he leaves - the story stops making sense. Ok, to be clear, ubisoft has been crossdressing characters since Black Flag with Mary Reade/Jack, Unity with d'Eon and even Syndicate with Ned, but it doesn't become the story while Corey is there maintaining continuity & story flow. So, the pre-game disclaimer still states, "this game was produced by a multicultural team of various religious faiths and beliefs"...no mention of "gender identities" or "sexual orientations" until Syndicate (2015), which is where things get weird at Ubisoft - from then on...the focus gets shifted away from the crescent and cross/assassin brotherhood vs. templar order to how manly can we make this girl look and get away with it (kassandra, xenia)? Here we see arguably the worst idea in AC history and that is 2 different sexes to change to thus completely disrupting the continuity and making the storyline in effect - meaningless. If 2 people with the same name and life (which they repeat in 9 - valhalla btw) exist at the same place in time, this will cause a time-space continuum rip - not a preference pleasing scene of chicks kissing, instead. "We wanna see girls be bigger than guys in muscle and stature" (weird and sjw). "We wanna see more girls hitting on other girls" (weird and sjw). "We wanna see people with different gender identities, before there was a gender identity to claim" (weird, stupid and sjw). Still, no mention of the templars or assassins, none of their "ideas" are about that. They don't have any, all they think about all day is themselves and their weird backwards politics...which they subject us to by putting it in a game, we're playing expecting to see Templars and Assassins...that's it! See, when there was a den Daddy (Corey) was still there - someone to tell them all this: No, your idea is stupid, self-serving and completely inappropriate/irrelevant for the material. Don't bring that up again, the game's not about you - its about the character. We could still get some great games made when he was here, now its a madhouse at 5505 Boul. Saint-Laurent. Seriously, the games play like a night with Kevin from Home Alone, they're just throwin' ish in, he wouldn't let them before and they play like it, 7-9 is a hodge-podge of a sjw's wishlist/wet dream...not a simulator for the ancient, brutally efficient war between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar Order. In valhalla, they've got Black vikings and Azar (a chick from persia) wants to tell me about her "pronouns"...PRONOUNS???!!! In the 800's???!!! I couldn't stop laughing...in fact I'm laughing right now. Gimme a minute!!
🤣🤣🤣
@@brandonpick1486 Ex. #1: in 8 &9 you can get a sex change (that NO-1 asked for).
#2: The opening message tells us what the developer's sex orients & gender ID's are (also, when we didn't ask).
#3: in Valhalla - Azar from Ireland is introduced by Shaun through "pronouns". They didn't have those in the 9th century...😂🤣😅
None of these are related to the "back then game", they're all "right now game developer politics" based. I felt I might not have been clear in the last post, so...hope it helped. Creed on...🥷🏾

@@gajabamaduranga7581 its definitely different. Absolutely. But imo, its still clearly an ac game. Like if you put any other name as the title, people would definitely see the parallels in its story and setting and what you're doing.
That's kinda my point. Its absolutely different, but it's still ac at the end of the day.
Of course you can prefer the old system. It's not that I didnt like the older systems. It's just I got bored of them after 6 games of it. I was ready for some big changes. Something new to learn and explore that isnt just the same thing in a different setting.
I'd be okay if they made the combat a little less over the top and a little more gritty. Minda like the divison 2 in the sense that they kept it an RPG, but made the combat feel more impactful and realistic. Head shots still killed everyone without a helmet on for example. But I hope they keep the RPG mechanics and the sandbox elements of freedom you have in odyssey and orgins.
I also really really hope they keep the branching dialogue paths cause that was one of my favorite new mechanics. The story telling could be some much fun and be so clever. "You killed my mother and fucked my pader!" Lol, from a quest playing off of the whole Oedisus story. I adored the writing.
The same team that did odyssey is doing doing that breathe of the wild style god and monsters which I'm super excited for.
Odyssey pretty much just copies the same gameplay that Shadow of Mordor and The Witcher 3 has. Doesn't mean it's not bad though.
Anyone who thinks this game is great I beg you to please go and watch the video "assassin's creed odyssey broke me" by LazerzZ

Origins was just level gated bullshit just to beat the main story you have to grind that’s why I like odyssey better
Please shut up lol if you like rpgs then play other rpgs.💀 Assassins creed should have never been an rpg I get it origins is a vast open world it needed to change but black flag was also a vast open world giving you the whole Caribbean to explore. Assassins creed should not be in an rpg in random locations bc it could be cool it should be in places that already have lore like Ancient Rome and it should just focus on making the game more immersive and making stealth even better like syndicate and unity did with missions having multiple stealth opportunities you could you if you wanted too.This would be better not fucking yo the combat and adding level scaling and abilities.New fans need to stop demanding all this nonsense and go play the old and appreciate and then and realise that AC should return to its roots and stay at its roots.
