Same like the two previous games with less content and now with Vikangz.

I've never played any AC game, this is the first on and I am having a blast (probably as everything is new to me). Game is huge, right now it might be about 150-200 hours game. Visuals are stunning, but worse than in RDR2. There are some major C&C, but not many of them. Skilltree is huge, and abilities are fun. I've put approx.50 hours into it, and the amount of content, minigames and generally things to do is really astonishing. I've only met one nigger so far - a trader or something. There's some romance, but optional and rather tastefully done. I think you can fuck your brother's wife. Oh, there's also a possibility of trying that famous viking buttsex during a wedding. Fun times.

Next version of Assassin's Creed Origins or Odyssey. If you haven't - play Odyssey, if you did you should skip Valhalla as Ubisoft has toned down loot after different community bashed Ghost Recon: Breakpoint for being a looter-shooter milsim foster child.

Story is your typical Ubisoft farts wrapped up in whatever setting they are doing right now. Combat is pillow-fights on rollerblades with flying numbers and bigger numbers. Graphics are beautiful, level design is top-notch. The gameplay loop is doing bazillion question-markers on gigantic map to be on par with level requirement for main missions. Everything outside main quest is small, copy-pasted and rather unsatisfactory. All in all decent mind-numbing game made by spreadsheet addicts. Worth trying out if you don't play a lot of Ubi games.

I am playing it for a while now and I just started the final act. Easily the most boring AC ever made. Its not even funny after a certain point.

I just want it to finish and move on to a better game.

I cant. I am super anxious and probably would be not capable of sleeping at night. I need to finish this shit. Far too expensive and too many hours invested on it to just abandon it. :/

Literally the textbook definition of sunken cost fallacy then

The final act of Odyssey was an anticlimactic fight with Donald Trump.

True story.

True story.

At least Cleon's death during the battle of Amphipolis was true to history. It's more than can be said about most other historical characters inhabiting Assassin's Creed games.

"Vikinger" doesn't make any sense grammatically.

Who expects the SvartVikings to have grammar?

I don't remember encountering such an NPC during the game's story. He's probably a player-made character whom you can recruit to aid you in Raids etc. After a certain point you design a custom "Lieutenant" (you select how he looks, his gear etc) and if other players hire him you gain some shekels.

I didn't play the game for historical accuracy.

No, I played Odyssey because it was a fun adventure-RPG set in a low-fantasy ancient Greece setting.

Then I fought Donald Trump for some reason, and that he was called "Cleon" in this game and was killed at the same place as the historical Cleon, makes no difference to me.

Donald Trump didn't die at the battle of Amphipolis. What the fuck was Donald Trump doing in my AC Odyssey game anyway??

Yeah, I learned to dismiss the dumbass screenshots people spread, after seeing what they did to Odyssey - I played that game through, and never saw any of the dumbass "OMG" meme bullshit that some spergs spread here.

turn that 'in' around in the middle and it suddenly makes sense

Would you recommend Odyssey though?

 

[Atlantico]

Would you recommend Odyssey though?

Yes, I would without hesitation, but with caveats.

A low-fantasy ancient Greece larp, it's a beautifully rendered fantasy romp, where you can play as an adventurer and the side-quests are at least as fun as the main-quest.

If you forget it is an AC game, it becomes even more fun! "Historical" settings for fantasy/adventure games are too uncommon IMO.

Skip the DLCs, they're completely worthless and made by another team anyway, so they're just cash-grabs. The main game is all you need.

Would you recommend Odyssey though?

Best of the three modern Ass Creeds, it has both ground combat and sea combat, if you dont like it, skip Ass Origins and Ass Valhalla, you wont miss much as they are just more of the same but inferior. Origins only have to its advantage the egyptian setting as Egypt is really beautiful on that game but its mechanics are just simplified versions of Odyssey gameplay that arent all that complex in the first place.

Valhalla is boring, first, they removed sea combat, the raiding mechanic like all Ubisoft mechanics is a half assed waste of time and far from being a replacement for the sea battles, England at the time of the viking invasion looks boring as fuck. In terms of loot, they did something good, ended the looter shooter aspects of the loot and handplaced the loot but, as this is Ubisoft we are talking about, then they did something really bad by pretty much eliminating most weapons and armors to sell as DLC later. Valhalla also overhauls the skill tree but, as it is Ubisoft we are talking about, most is +2% bonuses just so you think it is bigger than really is. Honestly, you wont miss much by skipping this.

Also, dont expect any interesting stories on any of the three, actually, dont expect any good stories from Ass Creed at all, the last Ass Creed game with a good story was Ass Creed 2 and that only had a good story because Ubisoft was still a normal publisher by that time and not a Ponzi Scheme that only cares about stock performance to keep investors happy. Most Ass Creed stories and quests are nonsense and the main villains are so forgettable that you need to read entries on your journal to remember they are the villains if you stop play for some time.You will literally think: who was this guy I just killed and what he done anyway? And the game goes: "Nah, dont care about, look, there is a pyramid in there, cool isnt it?"
