Assassin's Creed Origins parkour can be smooth

[@FordzyS]

Origins has good designed ropes. Most of the cities its quite good for parkour, not that good like older AC, but not too bad like copy paste cities in Odyssey. I like Alexandria.

[@thedudejqn]

I too. My criticism would be that they are to small

[@DaxanDaxter]

1:56 damn. Truly cant understand how much work is put into this videos to discover such contextual moves in these huge worlds.

[@thedudejqn]

Thank you

[@tommy.angelo2]

🤨🤨🤨

[@swstealth]

@Bzake its just that one should spend a lot of time exploring the world in order to find places to exercise these contextual moves, and then remember it in order to choreograph all this video. Cuz this is ac origins, the parkour here depends on the context, there is little control here. He cant just do that move at will.

[@thedudejqn]

Because its the most difficult thing the game offers

[@therealchickentender]

@@swstealth That's what I enjoy about it... It's contextual but completely pervasive. Older "pure" AC titles are just as contextual but it was like parkour on rails or training wheels which allowed it to be more fluid/flashy... there were only cetain avenues you could use. In Origins nearly everything *can* be navigated and *you* have to figure out what is the most fluid/efficient in real-time. I think it's super satisfying in its own way.

[@bencooper6983]

I recently started playing this game for the first time a few days ago, it's genuinly brilliant, it's a bit sad they shifted the focus from parkour to sheer map size and traveling via horse but the game world is so beautiful I really don't care too much

After spending a year with this game after its initial release, it became my favorite in the series. The world, characters and story are to me the pinnacle of the franchise.

[@thisbubblygoodness7611]

its one of my favourites but i mostly like it for Egypt and the combat, truth be told i found the story and parkour underwhelming for the most part, so i like Origins but its not as good as AC4 or Unity (in my opinion, of course)

@@youssef3656 I’ve played them all, and that’s just how I feel. You have the same sentiment as most. But for me Origins is top.

[@St.JimmyTheSecond]

If I had to describe the parkour in the latest AC games (the rpg trilogy) I would just describe it as functional but not fun. It lacks control: you do everything with just one or two buttons and you often find yourself on the wrong ledges. It has no style so you never feel cool doing it, although that could speak about the characters personalities: maybe Arno is a young stylish guy that likes to show off, while Eivor or Bayek are more like soldiers, practical and rough people. The real issue is the lack of control and inputs needed, because that makes parkouring not challenging and rewarding. And of course, the big open maps do not favor parkour, even though they're stunning and fun to explore. Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla are good games, they're objectively better than most entries of the series; but they lack those crucial elements that make a good AC game, like a good parkouring system

[@thisbubblygoodness7611]

think you summed it up nicely. it works, but thats it the one thing i do appreciate and respect is how the developers mapped Bayek to climb mountain sides and make it look genuine

[@tarnishedpose]

An *entirely practical mechanic devoid of any style or substance to it* sounds about the adequate description for what the climbing system AKA Parkour has been reduced to since Origins. To think it used to be the one if not the most important aspect gameplay-wise.

[@godzillazfriction]

origins and valhalla are not good games, I don't have to explain why on valhalla but for origins I'll just do this 'what assassin's creed origins failed to understand' kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnLXp5iMjt98n5I

[@TheLuconic]

Thats actually a really good point, I didn't think about that.

[@therealchickentender]

I actually love it. I felt similarly at first but it grew on me as I adapted. Overall it has a pace and feel that reminds of AC1 which I really love... It's more grounded and not as fast/flash Spider-man sort of action. But I love that you have to be much more responsive and that you can transition to any attack at most any point.... once you figure it out. It's very contextual and deliberate for certain... but I did find it fun.

[@chargedbuildingz6737]

I have no idea why they didn't give us the ability to vault over most small obstacles, the parkour would have been so much better that way

[@thedudejqn]

Yeah true. They even showed it in the Origins trailer

[@gingersnap8543]

Not only would it have been more fun but it also wouldn't have been hard to implement. There was already a few vault animations in the game and it could have simply been hold circle instead of x, or b instead of a. Would have given the player much more control over the style of bayeks movement

[@tirthasimanta2608]

[@saurabhpathakYT]

Origins brought back what I liked about AC. Yes there's level system that's sort of bummer for old school fans. But it's very simplistic and I really request them to just go with it for a few hours until you get some upgrades and I assure that there's that old school assassin's creed hidden under it with a good story too. It's that last well-made AC worth playing.

[@thedudejqn]

Yep

[@godzillazfriction]

nope you delusional ac fans, how do you not see the awful writing that was in origins.. apparently a lot of people didn't know because people were desperate for assassin's creed for some reason and so some people who played or replayed ac origins saw how bad the game actually was and it is perfectly summed up in this video 'what assassin's creed origins failed to understand' kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnLXp5iMjt98n5I

[@semu8030]

Ngl parkour in this RPG approach is overall the smoothest of all the franchise. The problem is that the animations aren't as cool as Unity's, Syndicate's or even the "Connor trilogy".

@Bzake Yeah exactly don't know why I forgot the word

[@DrOmni]

Did you know you can actually pole vault in this game? As in, you can swing off ropes and wooden beams, rather than always climbing up on them. To do this, jump towards the beam and before you reach it, let go of your forward input and only hold the Parkour button. Instead of climbing up, Bayek will start swinging on the pole, and you can now press forward to leap off, or backwards to change direction. There's even a special animation for swinging into a leap of faith, with Bayek doing a snazzy backflip.

[@thedudejqn]

With swinging I knew, but I thought vaulting was object specific. Thanks for this comment

[@as31gaming31]

100%. It just takes a bit more of a learning curve and you have to pay a LOT more attention to surroundings. It's more grounded and realistic in many ways. It's almost more satisfying at times. And at any of those moments you can transition to stealth attacks or slow-mo bow strikes. Love it.
