Nevermind I'm back in this rules. Their absence in Odyssey was felt especially after how great they were in Origins. Here's also hoping for a return of the loading screens where your guy is running through code

I don't think there's a single rear end Creed with a plot I would call good, but the best of them manage to move things along with compelling characterisation.

After watching the ACG video, I'm down. I never played any assassin creed game besides Odyssey and loved it. The theme and all that was great. Some quest were annoyingly spread out but I really.enjoyed my time running around like a murderhobo.

Valhalla seems to be drifting even harder away from the stealth aspect of the series, from what I've seen. Have they mentioned stealth much at all?

Dapper_Swindler posted:unity and odyssey didnt do them. which was dumb. i hope the vahallah ones are as surreal as origins. I am counting those weird backstory flashes from unity, so I’m not sure if those officially count or not. It was mostly a way to put in backstory in a game that had about 3 developed characters at best

Sandwolf posted:Valhalla seems to be drifting even harder away from the stealth aspect of the series, from what I've seen. Have they mentioned stealth much at all? Yeah, it popped up in one of the newer preview videos, and it actually seems to have a somewhat greater role compared to Odyssey. Basically you'll end up being able to sneak into English towns and cities where guards will attack you on sight if they realize you're a viking. It also reincorporates some of the social stealth of the earlier titles, like being able to blend into moving groups of travelers or pretend to be busy eating some food. Edit: Here's the video I was thinking of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdzcijLhQV8&t=206s

I'm gonna be honest, I was pretty "eh" until a few days ago when I started watching videos. I'm in. The combat looks fluid and good, it doesn't look like I'm gonna have to worry about switching weapons simply because my axe is level 28 and I'm in level 30 enemy land, and a big open map is my jam. Let me wander around and discover stuff.

Dapper_Swindler posted:i think this one does somewhat. You'll be able to draw on their face maybe. I understand why in a cutscene heavy format they avoid it, and especially in a series vaguely about lineages. Witcher would have been a laughing stock if 90% of the youtube footage featured some epic win shrek bobble head clownshoeing its way around the lands. I guess that stuff is fine in a proper RPG like fallout where the scenes focus on the other person's reaction to your actions, not your reaction too.

Oh dear me posted:I'm not in the industry, but the idea that Ubisoft would hire more quest writers if only they sacked some landscape artists seems dubious to me. They're wildly different skills, and given how many games with small maps have awful quests, blaming Odyssey's imperfections on its generous map seems strange. I think the theory is that you reduce the total number of sidequests and spend more time on each one, then scatter the smaller number of quests over a smaller land area to achieve the same 'density'.

I only liked Odyssey because they didn't go ham with the immersion breaking real world crap, so I hope this isn't annoying and overblown. I just want to run around in cool settings murder hoboing, other games in this series struggle to hold my attention.

I’ve never played an Assassin’s Creed, and know barely anything about it aside from some very suspect lore concerning DNA and some goofy fights I saw that looked fun and dumb, should I play Origins or Odyssey?

They're both extremely solid games and the general response when this comes up is go for the one whose setting/PC more interests you.

Sure. Just know that they play pretty different from all the pre-Origins games and have all the bloat of a modern Ubisoft game.

Im finally getting around to playing Origins after playing the poo poo out of Odyssey when it came out. Are there any must-have skills or some decent guides around for them? All the poo poo I can find through Google is the rushed poo poo that game websites pushed out like 2 days after release.

Use the bird to fly to every region and get the exploration exp for it when you are allowed to leave the tutorial zone. Couldn't do this in Odyssey, but worked in Origins.

I feel like the modern day stuff could be moved forward through 2-3 cutscenes over the course of the game and that's it.

echinopsis posted:origins then oddyssee Yeah, this is the right answer. They are both great, solid as hell games. But Odyssey built on Origins, so playing them backwards will definitely feel like you're moving in the wrong direction. Mostly because you are. (Even if, plot timewise, you wouldn't be, but lol the plot between games in these games.)

I'd recommend picking one because they're both very similar so going through one right after the other will get repetitive

Two of those games in consecutive years was a lot (even though I thought they were both great!), but trying to binge three in one year would be madness.
