Assassins Creed Origins

[Shisen Kopf]

This is the 50th installment of this series. Someone let me know if it is any good. Who is the protagonist? Very important info for me

[Destor]

Black guy, he's never even heard of america

[Destor]

Also game is getting killer reviews

[Sepholio]

The reviews seem pretty mixed to me. Apparently a good bit of technical issues holding it back. Will wait for a few patches to come out then I'll pick it up seeing as I have every Assassins Creed ever.

[Shisen Kopf]

Yeah it looks really good. I suppose I can get it. I tolerated playing as a savage in Assassins Creed 3. I'll just put him in Ezio's outfit

Im seeing a bunch of 9/10s

[Destor]

A lot of praisenfor the missions, the leveling system and the combat/inventory

[Shisen Kopf]

It has to be much better than Unity and the London one. Those kinda sucked

[Destor]

I started playing the series last yeah. Literally playing Syndicate now...its ok. At launch it was broken obv but its pretty its fine stability wise now.

Origins pre day one patch is glitchy to be sure but if the mechanics are good im sure itll be fine in a few weeks or even day 1 depending on what the patch does.

[Shisen Kopf]

The jack the ripper add on was good. I got to the final mission on syndicate but it was hard as hell trying to defuse all the bombs at Parliament and Elizabeth Tower. Still havent beat it. Found the Grenfell Tower mission to be in poor taste!

[Destor]

Ill say this about syndicate it has the best stealth machanics than any of the series, by far.

[Destor]

Up until this point at least

[Destor]

As far as origins goes i will wait 4-6 weeks to play it. Let the first few patches hit. Its become my new method. Ive got such a backlog its no big deal on my end

[Shisen Kopf]

I'm thinking I'll ax for it for Christmas. By then it should be sorted

[Fignuts]

This seems like a pretty fair, honest review.

[ClockShot]

Should have this waiting for me at home after work.

[Sepholio]

This is also my plan.

[Fignuts]

Honestly, for me, I feel like nothing will ever come close to topping Black Flag. The whole pirate time period, the amazing naval combat, the great characters...it all just makes me completely uninterested in anything else they've done since.

Only thing that would pull me in, would be to see how they pulled off a game that takes place in the present day. That's what I thought they were going to work towards after I played the first game, but here we are 10 years later.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yup, Black Flag was such a high.

I'll get this eventually, but I still haven't booted up Syndicate and want to play that first and coming out on the same day of the game that puts the biggest smile on my face in years in Mario and murdering Nazis in Wolfenstein take priorities.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh wait, I just loaded up Prime Now to get some shit delivered and buying the game comes with a FREE MONSTER 4 PACK. SCORE.

[ClockShot]

Just wrapped this up.

Just........ugh. I never been conflicted with a game in a long time. Can't decide if I liked it or hated it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I've heard so many good things that I want it, but the copy protection on PC ramps the CPU up to 100% usage which isn't good for the wear and tear at all. Waiting on it being removed or a crack.

[ClockShot]

Might want to try a demo or a free-to-play weekend before you buy it.

It's one of those "took a few steps forward but a few steps backward and overall didn't make progress" kind of games, in my opinion.

[Destor]

Youre the first person kve hesrd saying this. Without spoiling can you elaborate ?

[Shisen Kopf]

I got the game it's decent. Some one stole my camel. Didn't like that.

[ClockShot]

Youre the first person kve hesrd saying this. Without spoiling can you elaborate ?

Well, I'll repeat it and follow up on it.

This team took a few steps forward and a few steps backward. After I finished it's like, nothing really changed. I'll give you a minor spoiler to give you an idea.

One of the biggest improvements is the large open world. But it's overall the biggest trap in the game.

[Destor]

Barely screatched the surface of this but im really digging it. All the platforming is essentially gone so the last remnants of prince of persia are gone with it but as far as a rebirth of the franchise i think this works.

Crafting works like red dead redemption. Hunt the animals. Upgrade the think.fighting off ten crocs at once and then upgrading your hp or damage is rewarding.

Tons to spend gold on. Upgrading weapons alone. Might take awhile to out pace the economic system.

Skill treee is very good.leveling up is very rewarding.

Eagle is a great element

Protag is allllllmost as boring as altier/conner....but only almost.

World is huge and dense.

Combat is the heart of the game anc its acss. First game were i almost prefer the brute approach...well save skyrim.

[Destor]

Only level 12 so this is all preliminary

[Destor]

The biggest thing this has over its predecessors os a world i actually want to explore. In past games i was just followung a check list of collectables...in origins in just lurking about seeing what i can get into. Not on witchers level but its similar in that regard.

You can easily forget there is a main quest going on

[Shisen Kopf]

I got this game a couple of weeks ago and I agree about forgetting about the main quest. I like going around wiping out entire groups of hippos and crocodiles. Not leveled up enough to go after the elephants yet.

[Destor]

I love fighting the agressive wild life

[Destor]

hell even hunting the prey

[Shisen Kopf]

The first time I shot a vulture with an arrow I didn't kill it and the bastard and his buddy killed me. Bastards.

[Destor]

I did not expect to be attacked by vultures...I killed them though.

[Sepholio]

I just started this and I already love it. Other than a couple technical hiccups(enemies/wildlife getting stuck on something and acting like they are in the midst of a seizure) it has been awesome so far. Noticed a couple icons that indicate the goal of finding X number of treasures in the area. Went into one to find said loot and ended up triggering a quest to free some prisoners or something. During the crawl through the area, I somehow managed to kill the main baddie of the area I'm guessing without even realizing it was him. Was like WTF just happened, then I figured it out, although I was pretty miffed about being teleported out of the area after it all played out. Oh well, was an epic af moment regardless.

Now I'm back to lurking around the zone and checking all the question marks and what not. Really digging the new RPG feel of the game. I'm a huge mark for Assassins Creed but it was def getting stale. I feel like this has completely reinvigorated the game. This is what it was meant to be. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go stab a couple assholes. In the face. With a brick.

[Destor]

Im level 40+

About 60 hours in

Cleaning up my quest log then im going to progress toward end game content. I was level 35ish before i bad my first true boss fight..,there is just so much to see and do.

Wildlife and crafting have been my fav aspects. Tombs in 2nd.

Well...maybe the freedom...they always saynin these games you can choose how you tackle a situation but this time it actually feels true...

I dunno...theres a lot they really got right.

[Shisen Kopf]

I hit level 40 today. Need to kill 2 more Phylakes to complete that quest. Omg, i sound like a total NERD rn

[Destor]

Only a nerd would worry ahout bekng a nerd, nerd

[Heisenberg]

The AC worth my piss was Black Flag, all the others are hard to get into

[Destor]

It was the best AC until AC: O for sure

[Sepholio]

Black Flag and Origins are def the best 2 for me so far. Black Flag still takes the cake so far. That game was just incredible.

[Destor]

Finished it. No spoilers but I really enjoyed it.

[Jordan]

I have Black Flag and I completely stopped playing it. The boat aspect just bores me to shit.

[Shisen Kopf]

Just finished the main story. Pretty good game but I think I still like African-American Flag the best

[Destor]

I have Black Flag and I completely stopped playing it. The boat aspect just bores me to shit.

I liked it in flag but in rogue i was bored with the mechanic and rushed the game to get away from it. Basically it was fine the one time

[Sepholio]

I LOVED the boat shit. I would just sail forever and listen to my crew sing the old sea songs. Find random fleets to decimate. I wanted a whole game dedicated to piracy using the engine. Was sad they didn't make one.

Look up Skull & Bones.

[Sepholio]

I know about Skull & Bones. I dunno how I feel about it though. Seems multiplayer focused (which isn't my thing) and will probably be eaten up with microtransactions. Also don't know if there is any kind of story to it which would be a huge negative. I'm keeping my eye on it but I'm not as hyped as I would be if it had just been basically a sequel to Black Flag.

[Destor]

How did you feel about rouge

[Sepholio]

I never played Rogue tbh. I had moved onto next gen at launch and the fact that they released Rogue on last gen kinda killed it for me. Only mainline entry I never played. When they release the supposed remaster I am going for it though.

[Sepholio]

Also finished Origins. Missed out on the Trial of the Gods events so far but they rotate in and out so I'm sure I'll get my chance. Also stoked for the DLC. Loved this game. Only missing 2 trophies for the platinum but I fear I will need to start a second playthrough to get one of them because I didn't realize what it was early enough. Hopefully the DLC will provide enough content to avert that though.

My only gripe is that some of the regions literally had 0 landmarks. Should have been at least 1 in each area imo. But I get it, the desert is empty.

[Disturbed316]

Got this on the new year sale, going to wait till I get an X before jumping in, which should be soon.

[Frank Drebin]

Just finished. Great gameplay. Meh story. Like....really meh. I got so bored with most of the side quests I was skipping alot of the dialog.

The "current era" plotline was useless. Just waking up only to get back in to the Animus after 30 seconds.

Def would recommend, but I'm skipping all the expansions even if they're supposed to be good. I don't care about Bayek or Aya, really. Witcher 3 still the clear-cut #1 of this open world RPG genre (and maybe my fav game of all time).

[Destor]

Protag was soooooopo boring. Not as bad as Connor but its almost like they tried to compete for worst ever, and Aya is only better by the smallest of fractions.

Game is all about the combat, the crafting and the exploration for me.

[Disturbed316]

Sunk like 50 hours into this and still haven't finished the main story, love it.
