they should not be in a full priced game period it was a mechanic for free to play mobile games to make money yet they now put them in full priced games to bleed young ppl dry and now they make more money from them then they do the sales of the game thats why they will never stop which is bad because they now get lazy making games and release the same shit because they know they will make there money back with you guessed it microtransactions its there safety net EA use it cause lets face it there not able to make a good single player game or multiplayer game for that matter lets why they said single player games are dead even those you have games like spiderman god of war gta 5 single player game not online last of us to red dead 1 and 2 and guess what NONE of them have microtransactions because all of them are games where they put effort into making a good game which means more ppl spent there money on it and where as all these other companies or the publishers have no faith in there game so they slap that safety net in cause they know they will make there money back with that so who cares if not many ppl buy it right

[@gamercaptured3345]

Either we have microtransaction or the prices for games go up. Literally everything has had a price increase from gas to milk. Phones cost more, movies cost more, games stayed the same price yet they cost way more to make. So i think microtransactions are fine for the most part. The only thing assassin creed odyssey did wrong was time saver microtransactions because now that the game is longer people think ita making you grind more. Angry Joe is praising Ac4 yet it had the same time saver microtransaction but the game was smaller thus making it "less grindy". I can tell you right now its not that big a problem it really isnt. I have played idyssey for 50 hours now and not once have i feeled underleveled. Sure some quests are level gated as well as areas but I can keep advancing in the stroy and get back to those later. 1500xp for completing forts?!?!? thats a damn lie. I have gotten upwards of 15,000... I dont have the boister and i only had a feee one for 2 hours so i have seen both leveling with and wothout the booster and honestly i didnt see the difference cause i never had a level problem. To sum it all up and clarify... I am fine with miceotransactikns in games cause they help devs with cost and us from having to face an inevitable price increase. Yes AC Odyssey does push it with boosters but it isnt new as that was in ac4 yet no one complained then. I would prefer odyssey didnt have it but in the end it doesnt really matter as the game wasnt built with this in mind. its a time savee to help you beat the game fast and be overleveled. Actually do some research instead of bitching. People thar have this or 5 -10 levels over the recommended level. if it was built with this in mind wouldnt they be at the recommneded level?...

[@aquaphazed]

that "crappy" opening was some of the freshest Angry Review content! creativity on fleek Joe and AJ.

A review is a Review to me.

[@myopinion3398]

Micro transactions, special editions and season passes need to end. One price for a complete game. Dlc should be just that, a full download. Not a code that unlocks a segment on the disk you already bought. I love AC, I love the RPG direction. The stories need a little more polish like the days of old. I wouldn’t mind sticking with one Assassin for a while and seeing some kind of story arc across 2/3 games and we need to see the return of the assassin order and the templars. We need a tie off of loose plot threads from previous games. These stories are good, I’m just surprised that they didn’t base these “ancient stories” off the statues of assassins you see in ezios villa in AC2

[@vrathod369]

I completely disagree with you. Ubisoft has to move on. They should focus on making new games instead of milking old series. Origins and Odyssey are the perfect examples, the games are great, but its such a wasted potential putting them in a dead series. If origins and Odyssey would start a new IP without the ISU and modern day animus bullshit forced into them, which ruins the game itself, the games would be amazing and i would be looking forward to the next one, but not like this. Odyssey was a great game until the sub-plot of Isu, animus and Layla kicked in, which is why i tried to avoid the Atlantis story line completely. AC died with Desmond, best thing you can do is call everything else not canon and convert Odyssey and Origins into a new IP of open world Mercenary game.

[@thatonetemplar]

On-disc DLC doesn't happen anymore. DLC these days is made mostly post-launch.

[@nemesis7884]

as long as they keep it reasonable i have no problems with microtransactions but lets be real - you would have to double the normal game price to make these giant games nowadays and a lot of people might not be willing or able to pay that - microtransactions allows people with more money to support the game and still allows less deep pocket players to enjoy the game as well - don't forget about that....of course you can say let's just make smaller games in the future - but would we really want that?

[@EridianX]

Yeah it's pretty funny that the people saying they don't notice being underleveled are the same people that do every single quest and explore every area. It's like, yeah, no shit. You are doing the grind and that mindless busy work appeals to you. Nothing wrong with that, but don't be an idiot and pretend like it isn't there. Take warframe for example, it's a grindy game, but I personally never felt that because I ENJOY the parts that are grindy in that game, hence when playing it does not give that effect to me. Doesn't mean it isn't grindy, it's just the I personally do not mind it in that game. Same thing here, people are confusing their enjoyment of the parts of the game that are a grind, with there being no grind. And that's just untrue.

[@karltannerofginalley1428]

Well said mate, I definitely see a lot of what you describe across gaming in general.

[@BaronVonHoovy]

But, like... it sounds like they weren't even bothering to pick up contracts, which are the *easiest* quests to complete because they usually don't even have a specific destination or time limit attached to them, they're just like... "sink 5 Spartan ships" or "kill 10 bandits in this zone", and reward a massive amount of XP for something you can complete *while* doing other quests (meaning you don't have to go out of your way or really spend too much extra time to get them done). I hit level 50 with less than half the map explored without any boosts. Yes, I took my time and explored map markers but beyond that I didn't really do minor sidequests, only the major ones (which are marked with a gold icon, as opposed to silver, like the main quest missions - and are few and far between) and contracts, for the most part. If it was that easy for me, and I *didn't even bother with boosts*, then you'd think that someone who (IMHO) wasted money on a boost would have no trouble with it. On top of that, I think if they're complaining about not being able to rush down the main story, they shouldn't have bothered with this game to begin with. Ubisoft took cues from Witcher 3's open world and level-locked main quests encouraging you to engage in side content to level up. They made this pretty clear before the game launched. And while I think that Odyssey would greatly have benefited from lower level-gates on main story content (and certainly isn't anywhere near Witcher 3's level of quality), I also think that barely participating in the side content and then complaining about needing to "grind out levels" for the main story is a bit daft. I'm not even trying to fanboy here, there's plenty of complaints people have about the game that I find understandable, but the leveling issue *isn't a valid complaint* because you can easily hit the level requirements just by doing some of the major sidequests and hitting the bounty board to check if there's any easy contracts.

[@DevilJeff35]

The grind is nowhere near worse than any other rpg out there. Maybe you should just admit rpgs are not for you instead of blaming the MTs.

[@Goaheadandstaymad21332]

Everything's a grind if you don't like it. I did the side quest because I wanted more combat, because to me, it was fun and appealing since I never got to play Origins. Exploring's the whole point of an open world rpg game too and since I love the world of ancient Greece, I thought it was perfect for me. If you want to rush through the story mode, there's a difficulty for that so you don't have to "Grind" to progress further.

[@HansYuan]

People associate "grind" with two things: fetch quests (collect this and that, return to the quest giver) and repetition (oh you got the herbs? go back and do it again!). While the side quests in Odyssey are nowhere near the level of writing and/or quirkiness of, say, The Witcher 3, they're also not grindy in the sense of offering nothing more than a mundane task. The incentives could be better, especially if you've outleveled some of the quests. However, you're right on the money about grind being a part of the game. Any game that has side quests will have it to some degree, it's all down to how much effort you spend trying to dress it up. In the case of Odyssey, because player choices actually affect some outcomes for the game world, I find that they're worth doing.

[@DrasticSkuba]

I just bought this game a couple of weeks ago on heavy sale with the season pass. So far, these transactions dont seem like an issue, and the game isnt a grind. It seems like they ironed out that issue. Along with difficulty, there is level scaling, which affects XP gain. I have been enjoying it a lot

[@RynKen]

Do I understand this properly? If I play Zelda: BotW, I can realistically beat the game with no note worthy grinding. If I play God of War (2018), I can do the main quests only and realistically beat the game. If I play Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, I am required to do a certain amount of sidequest and should probably do more then just a few, if I want to keep the game from getting excessively challenging; or pay extra to let me do what other games allow by default. Two of these games give you a choice, one of these games sell you a choice.

You don't know what culture means, you don't know anything about history, and you singled out one culture of people to falsely throw slaner at. Dude, go read some before running your mouth. And Mohammed married a 9 year old, per text in the Quran. Not a rumor. By the way, most eastern Russian, Danish, some German and Polish towns, were all settled by Viking farmers and traders.

The argument that the game has too much content is BS, it's that the game has too much of the same content, Fallout New Vegas is a gay with a mountain of content, but each quest feels much more unique.

[@shortafroman4]

Ericinferno14 "Fallout New Vegas is a gay" ... sometimes typos are hilarious =3

[@BigKnobJack69]

Their point was that its not very good content, I feel like quite a bit of it is mindless filler and that the game forces you to play them by making higher level enemies ridiculously OP. Origins was much better, if they had spent more time on this one rather than trying to get more money quickly it would've been much better

[@Desolation66]

You're right actually, but there is another element, not knowing how the content is initially and getting overwhelmed forming a negative first impression. Ex, the Witcher three, I and many others saw the open world of Witcher and felt overwhelmed immediately, making it feel hard to initially get into especially if you don't have a lot of time to game anymore. But you're hundred percent right, Odyssey and many Ubisoft titles suffer from too much boring content, not too much content, good catch.

I am still fuming at that guy from kotaku who was defending mtx. We know the "games media" is just games promotion in reality and full of shills who are on the side of publishers and developers and think of people who play games as losers (people who are also their customers/users) but man this guy was so open about it. It was disgusting!! I mean if we had decent games journalists from the start, many of the things that have become standard in the industry like on disc day one dlc, worthless overpriced shallow dlcs, 100 different editions of a game, preorder culture etc would have been called out when they were first being implemented and maybe they wouldn't have become so entrenched in gaming today but these sell outs and shills NEVER EVER once called out anything that the games industry was doing and now that there is finally a strong alternate voice (that of youtubers, streamers etc) he is openly criticizing them for saying the truth about mtx, lootboxes etc?!?!? Its fricking unbelievable man!!

[@whatthefudgegaming4403]

Are you sure about that ? never try to assume anything bro otherwise we aren't any better than those guys i trust Schreier he makes multiple valid points in his argument then again i mean the guy spent god knows how many hours in the grind that's the embodiment of patience and dedication right there.

[@zimbabweking]

@@GolfWhisky here's the thing they could've dynamically scaled the main quest for those who want to get through the story and kept the side quests grindy for people who enjoy them to have a challenge. But no they decided to add mtx and unlike the witcher, fallout 3&NV, horizon zero dawn, oblivion & skyrim or mass effect the side quests here aren't fun.

[@zimbabweking]

@@GolfWhisky yes because it level gates the EXPANSION not the MAIN STORY. And then it doesn't shake you down for a bribe to progress. Pretending its the same thing is silly. As silly as pretending Odessy's side quests aren't mostly fetch quests or kill so and so. Also I love that you picked HZD because you couldn't argue with the rest of the list. I enjoy Odessy quite a bit already but I would love it more without the grindy, repetitive, level gating, mtx bs that comes with it. Same with games like Shadow of War.

[@sirgriffinman]

I played the game organically which is the way it was meant to be played. I used the mode that makes you have to investigate where to go next instead of just having a marker. If I came across content or missions that were interesting or noticed something on the map that caught my attention I would go to it. My level always felt in sync with the game. I didn't buy boosters or anything from the shop at all. So far the game does not feel like a grind.

[@nikoskabbadias]

I am a pretty average or below gamer , and I easily breezed through it without even CONSIDERING paying. But I had fun with it, I didn't try to finish the main quest straight away. When I went to an area, I did 2 or 3 quick side missions around. Joe just tried to rush this. This is not 1996, you don't finish a game in two days. I believe after RDR2 people understand that, but maybe when the review was made they didn't. The game is literally called Odyssey, Odysseus was a guy who went through a long trip with lots of side quests. Hello?

[@chill_will9816]

I just started it and I'm having fun. Of course I'm the type of player that always tries to do optional/side mission before going into the main missions if I can. Not to mention while you can play this like an action game, it really behooves you to try to be stealthy (at least until shit hits the fan.)

[@erinivy3260]

Andre Mengai actually you would have to not buy the game because if a game sells well with micro transaction in it then why not keep them in the games to follow. If the games sales are poor on the other hand then maybe they will think twice about putting them in there games because maybe they are the reason for their lost of sales.

There are too many assholes with the mentality of "it's my money, I can do what I want with it" (even if whatever they're buying is literally aids).

[@brandonmcguire2263]

Well that is why I am crapping all over this game every chance I get, really we need to stop buying the games that have them, because they make the games that they are in intentionally less fun to encourage the buying of them. No game that has a player base suffers from making transaction sells because of people with addictive personalities who do not understand they are playing a slot machine with really good graphics.

[@Pacifista629]

I miss the actual "Creed" in assassin's Creed. Back in the ezio days when you could train new assassin's,send them on missions, and take over control from Templars. I'm tired of a new origin story every year with you being the only assassin in existence, or just a new recruit instead of a master/ experienced assassin.

[@rollercoaster478]

My biggest problem is the lack of story/poor writing of the cultists and their quests. Probably the worst is cultist named Master, you have to do 3 unrelated side quests that have nothing to do with him and then 1 poorly written quest. Some others have wrong or super vague clues, which is annoying.

[@DeadDancers]

I think the best way to play this game is to ignore the main quest completely, until you've wandered around (on your 'odyssey') and explored to your heart's content and done whatever side quests you want. Only then, focusing on the main quests means not only being strong enough to make it interesting/few-to-no strength walls, it also means you can run through them with an appropriate sense of urgency and timing and hunting down cultists is more 'hunting' and less 'hunt-ohh pretty new area, what was I doing again?'
