Assassin's Creed Odyssey, set in ancient Greece - it's definitely an RPG now

guys stop using AC: O. The previous entry was also AC: O.

This one marks a new incline rebirth of the series and therefore it gets the right to use the name.
It could also be read as Assassin's Creed: One.

:smug:

Parkour faggotry is finally over and Ubisoft is giving us what we need: AAARPG-lite popamole in various interesting settings. :incline:

I think it says something about AC:Origins that the tour mode is actually more interesting than the last one-third of the game. It would've been so easy for them to half-arse the setting, but they didn't. They deserve a lot of credit for that.

I would even be willing to forgive the retarded MMO advancement if the game wasn't so massively padded with unnecessary fluff, not to mention the blatant monetisation bullshit that comes this close to ruining the whole thing. It's a real irony that a game where the whole theme is extolling revolution is so utterly in thrall to the consumerist instant-gratification loop in the gameplay and capitalist monetisation as a primary design consideration. Assassin's Greed indeed.

I still think I'm gonna play Odyssey too, if only so I can rant about it righteously here.

If I finish it in a reasonable time and I'm still righteously angry about it, I might even submit a review.

Everything with darker skin than Dolph Lundgren is a nigger! :obviously:

You just put some marketing images that have nothing to do with the game!

Greeks don't look like that:

And,not that is not how tan works. I have been to Greece more than enough times and know a few Greeks,even have some Greek blood in my family. This is just sjw black washing shit! If that is the hill you want to die on,then so be it.

People really get brainwashed like the good little goys they are. Modern people can't even recognize what is white. This are just the reskinned models from the nigger asscreed. They have nigger colour of the skin while having European facial features. It is really obvious!

The game has shit ton of content, I'm level 40 but I haven't even visit at least one third of the map,also the side quest is much more entertaining comparing to Origin. I'm having a better time playing this game than Witcher 3, since the combat feels much better and the world is much more beautiful.

I don't think the game forces you to grind. You need to do side quest to level your characters up, but that's normal among RPGs, and if you don't do sidequest when playing a RPG, you are doing it wrong.

I did not say there aren't NPC niggers, there are - but the Player is definitely not of the negroid variety.

The images I posted were of the Player Character, and they do look like that in game.

Yes, that's what usually happens to people who live in moderately warm environments and expose their whole bodies to the sun on a daily basis.

I only have 7h of playtime but the dialogue so far has been very "modern" as it uses too many modern words and proverbs that claw you right out the immersion. I remember Origin doing it much better. Also it's very goofy sometimes.

Yeah even the word "malaka" which now means asshole or wanker had the meaning of tender or lazy back then.

Game is entertaining and all, but there's so much shit that is honestly so poorly thought...

The use of the word "OK" in conversations in ancient Greece, and other anachronisms.

Absolutely braindead retarded AI (at least in Hard, which I'm playing at), where you can kill a guard in front of his friends, leap over a ledge and be forgotten 20 seconds later, ad nauseum. I even sneak attacked a dude over a ledge, just crawled past the corner of the ledge so he couldn't see me, and managed to sneak attack him again 20 seconds after the first one.

My horse can climb pretty much whatever he wants and leap from cliffs mostly unharmed. If he dies though, I still survive the fall. Furthermore, I can climb even sheer rock with my bare hands wherever I go.

I fucking loathe the fact that shit is level-dependent rather than actually mechanically different.

They sipped too hard from the Shadow of Mordor kool-aid and it shows.

I see that you haven't seen "such" people in your life. If you had,then you would have know that this is no tan but a nigger skin!

I can't believe that there are so many retards that play this sjw propaganda....no wonder that the west is going down the drain.

Yes, this title has dropped all pretense of being historically accurate. This happens in fantasy Greece where Odysseus was an actual living person, Zeus is a god and King Leonidas looks and talks exactly like in Zack Snyder's movie, 300.

These are all good things, btw. It's not like Ubi and their AssCreed games could ever do "historic fiction" plausibly before. This game is probably about as serious and "authentic" as you and a bunch of your mates on a Sunday afternoon doing a PnP session of "Ancient Greece the RPG". They'll use modern Greek as a substitute for ancient Greek, they'll model characters after modern Greeks instead of ... you get the picture.

I fucking loathe the fact that shit is level-dependent rather than actually mechanically different.

That's been the standard for this kind of RPG since Mass Effect was released in 2009. Unless you're talking about level gating, like they did in Fallout:NV and a number of other games.

Started AC:Odyssey. First impressions.

Brawling is a bit better than in Origins. It's not all made dodging and stabbing, there's a bit of tactical stuff to it too. I practiced on the first merc that's hunting you and got better at it. Mad dodging and stabbing works too though. I'm using a spear and it actually looks like somebody fighting with a spear -- jabbing with it to keep the other guy at a distance; in Origins Bayek swung wildly with it which looked really dumb.

Chatter sounds better. Almost as if they got native Greek speakers to do it this time.

The scenery makes me want to go swim in the Mediterranean so bad it's not even funny. We had a really good vacation in Croatia early in 2017 and I want to do it all over again.

The rest is seriously meh. I'm playing as Kassandra (because it's a third-person brawler, whose ass do you want to look at for 40 hours or more?) and it is seriously jarring that nobody acknowledges that it's the tiniest bit odd for a woman to be a mercenary. Major missed opportunity there -- if they want to make it possible to play as an Amazon then by gum the world should acknowledge how badass that is given the status women really had back then.

The way Spartans are portrayed is really dumb. They didn't have family lives like that. Also, where are all the helots? I know I ain't seen much yet but ancient Greece was a society based on slavery and I'd expect that to be visible even in a backwoods island like Kefalonia. I am disappoint given the attempt at verisimilitude that Origins had.

Naval combat was utter chaos. I suck at it of course because I haven't had any practice, but it was a giant game of clown cars with fiery arrows.

And then of course there's the cancerous level mechanics and the rest of the stuff that Origins also did really badly. I don't get (yet at least) how this is much more RPG than Origins -- there are occasional dialogue options but most of the significant ones seem to end in exactly the same place ("I'll accept the quest") while others are mostly just flavour, e.g. flirted with a NPC, then said something that pissed her off so she walk off; I presume that picking some other option might've resulted in some pixelated lesbian smooching.

All in all I'm already much less impressed by this than I was with Origins, despite the better brawling.

I only have 7h of playtime but the dialogue so far has been very "modern" as it uses too many modern words and proverbs that claw you right out the immersion. I remember Origin doing it much better. Also it's very goofy sometimes.

As a non-Greek-speaker, I much prefer fluently and naturally spoken modern Greek to badly-pronounced stilted Koiné Greek (or Coptic, or Latin), like in Origins. Especially as historical accuracy really doesn't appear to be a priority this time around.

You've seen nothing, on Origins, there is a scene where your waifu goes alone to kill some dude and light a lighthouse, she has problems and take too long then the game cuts out to cuck husband that basically explain to some other dude how his feminazi needs no man when he says she needs help.

the ancient greeks were insanely gay though

one of plato's essays is a plea to teachers to please stop fucking their sexy young male students so much and start teaching them properly at least some of the time (but he admits that it's tempting to do the former and the only reason it's wrong is because they were promised an education so that'd be dishonest)

:hmmm:
Read some greek books and history! You sound like a brainwashed american. Faggotry was always looked down up in history. A bunch of liberal retards decided to say that the times were gay and stupid people just believed it!
