I am not saying that you are wrong or something like that, I just thinks that Ubisoft betrays their fan base. 7. No sane business is going to build their game around the demands of a very small minority- they have plenty enough evidence anyway that the old style doesn't cut it anymore, from the argument at Revelations' release that the series should stop and reinvent itself to the absolute slaughter of Unity, a game which marked a return to the OG focus on stealth. But I am glad you enjoyed it. Calling it a betrayal is a little bit strong, but it could have been handled better. Age is Just a Number. 12 Age Is Just A Number. Origins had a much better protagonist and story, it was really easy to invest in the charecters, the story and the world. I agree, that's why I don't think that Odyssey is the game of the franchise. The gameplay was still very 'assassiny' too, and I would say that, with the huge improvements AC4 made to stealth, it actually has some of the most 'assassiny' gameplay out of all the games before it. Odyssey is definitely up there, but it has its flaws. I fully intend to pre-order the next assassins creed game if it looks to be in the same style as Odyssey, whereas before I only bought the AC games on steam sales. Aya? Let go of the helm. Age is Just a Number Assassin's Creed Odyssey Quest. Swim towards the island. Let’s just ignore the fact that their sales were dying with that old formula and the majority of people called it stale. 5. Next, you need to kill a deer. Not setting it in a Animus for instance would have made me happier, and maybe not calling it AC, though still setting it in the world, would have made some other people happier.
I understand it would suck for many people that the AC games may not return to their original Assassin centered state, I just thoroughly enjoyed this game and want more of it. It doesn't seem like its the series itself that you've become invested in. Ubisoft changed their target demographic from the fans of the old style, to players like you.
I disliked Origins for the same reason, but still can't decide whether to give this one a go. By "one of" you mean "the only one worth playing". I've played almost all of the Assassin's Creed games and this one is the only one that's made me burst out laughing, the writing is easily the best of the series.
There is a cave to the Northeast of the woman that has bears, lots of them in fact. 4. Full AC Odyssey description // Rumor // Unconfirmed // Possible Spoilers if Real. Wonder how they can conciliate that with the Animus principle but I'm fine with this personally. It may be a long shot but it’s possible that the game could be set in Sparta under the Roman Empire. That could make some sense after Origins. Sparta is done, and it wouldn't make a good AC set up anyway. Both black flag and origins were departures from the traditional AC system, and they are two of the best games in the series, so hopefully it will be a great game, but I understand that fans of the traditional system will feel neglected by this. Sparta was eventually a shell of what it was so a dying breed of a warrior fits in with the trope of someone from an older tradition. Odyssey had better gameplay but I simply did not care for Alexios and the VA didn't help there. For news, discussion and more about Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed franchise. If they're going to skip the 5th century or before, make it take place during your diadochi, so many rival factions across Greece, Egypt, and the East. 853. AC Odyssey is an AC game by name alone in my opinion, almost no resemblance to the rest of the franchise in terms of game play, missions, and mechanics. naval), but I hate it when people say it wasn't an AC game. It's set in ancient Greece, so lets call it an odyssey because Homer. If it was, the series would have died a quick death a long time ago, because the gameplay would have stagnated to the point that only the 1% who seem to hold the now decade-old formula of the OG games as gospel would have played them.
