[@DarthKater311]

I would be interested in playing if it didn’t look so much like origins. I would want a different experience. Don’t get me wrong, Bayek in a towel the whole game made the game pretty enjoyable, but i would want different scenery and time period. Even though it’s set after Origins. But not much after.

[@josiahcruz2610]

Odyssey isn't set after Origins, it's set in 431 BC, Origins is set in 41 BC

[@josiahcruz2610]

It was censored in how they portrayed both boys and girls attending the same schools when in reality, they were separate, the narrator of one tour even acknowledged that the team decided to put them together for the sake of "inclusiveness" which I think is just stupid. Also they censored private parts on certain Greek statues and paintings in brothels. I think they should've just showed them, I mean, it's a pretty essential part of their history, specifically with the Greeks, people just need to understand that displays of certain nudity was just the norm back then.

[@SaithMasu12]

The amount of work before they even start modeling is aboslutly crazy. A gamer in the end just gets a general feel. But the developers get trough hours and hours of photographs, research and actually travel there for even more accurate models and location placements. These details sadly are mostly not seen by most people, since they focus going from point A to B.

[@artichokie791]

I visited the Parthenon in early 2020(just before Covid) and trust me when you stand infront of the Temple of Athena, you can't help but be overwhelmed by emotions, thinking about how beautiful of a structure it must have been, the architects who must have toiled for years to create something so magnificent and then due to the folly of some selfish bastards all that was reduced to rubble. Yet, despite all that Man and Nature have thrown at it, the Parthenon still stands, as if trying to tell us that, "Look! I have stood for thousands of years, in the hope that when you look at me you will understand what wonders you are capable of and also of what horrors you can inflict... I was created with love and destroyed by hatred!"

[@1xplorer]

One of the most reasons I love AC is the historic thing they bring to live in 3D experience.

[@rakdar1714]

It’s sad that the Parthenon survived more or less intact until the 17th century, when the defenders of Athens thought it was a good idea to make a gunpowder storage out of it in the middle of a siege. Kaboom! Otherwise the building would have survived as the Pantheon did in Rome

[@spyrosarras4]

if you want to tell a strory at least tell it right. The Turks used it as a gunpowder storage facility because they thought noone would blow up such a iconic building until the venetians did just that

[@jwolfling]

I'm my research I also came upon that apparently in the 19th century when they restored it the did an awful job partly because they used metal to hold the stone together. So metal rusted and expanded and cracked the stone even further :O

[@johnad101]

whoever made that decision deserves to rot in hell

[@icantthinkausername1136]

(I know I'm late) it was actually the ottomans who stored gunpowder into the parthenon. Way back during the byzantine empire, the parthenon was an orthodox church and when athens was occupied by the ottomans it became a mosque

[@Alopex1]

I really like, and appreciate, how in-game the theatre of Dionysos is trapezoidal, not semi-circular, and has wooden benches and a wooden skene. This is accurate for the late 5th century, in which this game is set. The semi-circular form with stone benches came only several decades later during the 4th century. Props to the game developers for going into such detail and conducting such meticulous research. That said, the capitals on the columns of the temple of Zeus are actually anachronistic, as they were only added much later. But it's just a minor niggle! ;-)

I tried to check the price for Greece, but i think since your currency is Euro, it is somehwat similiar to the general european market and thats round about 60 Euros for the Standard Edition. If i would be in your position i would wait until the game is on sale for some cheapp price (involves some waiting time). But there is no way i would pay that price if my monthly income is lower than the price for a video game.

[@digitalclips]

Excellent, knowing the area, it is amazing how accurate the game is. However, IMHO for the sake of those that haven't been to Athens, the video could do a tighter job of editing, showing the real-life and game views as before and after more closely together, so people can make the connections more easily. For example, the Erechtheion Caryatids should be; one then the other, there was too much time between cuts for maximum effect.

[@subhankarbaral9236]

Love it or hate it but all can agree on one thing that AC franchise has created a lot of history enthusiasts. And, AC worlds can teach history better than any historian. I am kinda glad that they started adding Discovery Modes. And, non gamers can't give nonsense excuses that games teaches us nothing.
