​@@Boatangaif you get it on sale it's worth the money, unless you're really bored though it's not really worth the time, the characters are pretty bland, the game is too grindy, they basically got rid of stealth, it looks pretty, but then so does every AC since unity, and the only impact you have on the (too large for the amount of actual content) open world is does this zone have soldiers that want to kill you dressed in red, or soldiers that want to kill you dressed in blue. There's fun to be had, but honestly the game is kinda mid and unimpactful, if you want to try one of the new ones I'd go for origins, it's a bit shorter, and bayek is probably the best protagonist in the series

I also loved giving a female protag the big spot light, and seeing her overcome obstacles and fight to keep her family together? That was beautiful to me, and the relationships she made along the way, overall, the game really hit me and is S-Tier in my opinion. I never really clicked with Valhalla like I did with Odyssey.

I feel like people give Odyssey too much "It's a bad game", in my opinion it's quite a good RPG open-world game. But it isn't or at least shouldn't be an Assassin's Creed game. There isn't even a hidden blade. As an open-world RPG, A-S tier. As an Assasin's Creed game? F tier in my opinion.

[@fasteddyuk]

Odyssey is getting so much hate ATM (herding mentality) but it's a great time. Yes, it's bloated and there's probably too much stuff in terms of weapons and armour but you can skip as much of that as you want really. It's as good as any other AC game and as bad too.

@@fasteddyuk While I agree with much that you said and you have good points, I disagree that Odyssey is "as much of an AC game as any". It's more of a Witcher III copy. It focuses more a demigod's murder spree than assassination, the whole point of the franchise.

[@Antonio-xq2hg]

You're very right about Odyssey. I played as Kassandra and her voice actor characterized her much better and made her feel more fitting, I recommend you do the dlc with her. I also noticed that the game gets more enjoyable as you play it.

Just like Black Flag was a pirate simulator, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is essentially a Greek hero simulator. And that's what you are: a classic Greek hero in the Assassin's Creed world. You are more or less in the mythological era of the AC world.

[@trashwifiyt2825]

It doesn’t bring you along the “assassin story” in the same way that BF does. BF isn’t a “pirate simulator”. Yes, Edward is a pirate, but along the way he develops into a master assassin. Kassandra is a much less developed main character who lives in a time where the assassins didn’t even exist. Odyssey is a great game, but it is much more of an era simulator in comparison to BF.

[@1337pianoman]

Something I find really interesting about the original AC is that it was meant to be played without a HUD. I tried it once and found it actually becomes a much more interesting game. It forces you to pay more attention to the information you're gathering and to the city layouts. I found playing without a HUD meant I ended up meticulously planning out the assassinations including exactly how I'd get away and vanish again. It makes for a much more assassin-y game. AC2 has a cooler setting and better characters, but AC1 might be my favourite in terms of games design

Ok buy does it really matter what it was made for? If people end up using it in a different way than it was intended (as a traversal tool) and it makes an important aspect of the game redundant then it wasn't designed well.

@@LabSkaterPussies OK but you can also argue that the grappling hook is very important. Considered that London’s buildings are very space out.

@@xavieranderson3691 The issue I had with it was that, while it does make some sense considering the spacing between buildings in London during that era, it's implementation wasn't done right. Perhaps this isn't the right phrasing, but it made the game feel too 'easy' and not fun at times. It definitely took away from the fun of AC parkour when, instead of planning a route/climbing up a building, I could just skip all of that and got straight to the top. You could try and not do it in a playthrough, but a lot of the navigation up a building is designed specifically do be done primarily with the grapple which, at best, makes actually climbing feel somewhat tedious as the scaling isn't mapped for vertical parkour as much. I think, like suggested in this video, it would have been better if it was only able to used horizontally or as a way to get down quicker, not up. In a weird way, by making it's use available in every situation, it actually made the gameplay feel more limited than freeing.

[@LabSkaterPussies]

@@xavieranderson3691 I bet if they didn't plan on having a grappling hook they would have designed the map differently. They probably wouldn't have made it as spaced out and more like a traditional AC game

​@@oreki22one of the things I really like in the earlier AC games is the intentionality behind every placed object. Like in 3 I can the paths through trees at a glance. They aren't random. Someone wanted me to be able to climb there. Or when a brick is broken or a crack in a wall appears to perfectly bridge the gap between handholds. That isn't just reused assets. Someone wanted that specific piece of geometry to be climbed in that way. Bending the world to the needs of parkour without it feeling forced or unnatural I have to imagine is very challenging. Some games do it better than others (that big wooden crane that appears everywhere in black flag as a sync point). But syndicate doesn't get any of that because grappling gun goes brr. You occupy the world, but you don't get to explore every nook and cranny like in other games.

Everything up to Unity is pure gold. Ezio saga is legendary. We witnessed whole life of a game character from birth to death. We lived what he lived. From rebellious teenager to a master of the order in Rome to a wise man dying peacefully. For AC3, I don't get why it gets hate. It was so good. The revolution story was amazing. More importantly the depth of assassins and templars, anarchists and tyrants. This game and Haytham made me understand neither side is right one. Achilles' and Desmond's death made me shed a tear. The story of Desmond, past and future, was amazing and Ubisoft made a wrong choice ridding the old animus and Desmond too. I have no words for AC4 but sea shanties. A masterpiece. Ac Unity was the smoothest game I have ever played. The parkour, the hidden blade kills, Arno's story. It was most fun ac game next to ac4.

[@AndI0td763]

2 is my favorite, admittedly mostly for nostalgia. Especially for the time it was so good, I pity anyone who missed out on that. It’s the one that brought the series to the masses, and that’s because it’s just a damn great game. 4 is also great. I also did think that 3 was underappreciated. Unity is when I kinda fell off for a bit. Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla are good games but they are different beasts. I prefer the way the older games did things with the smaller broken up maps, and the focus on story and stealth, catacombs/caves and upgrades/collectibles. I’ve heard Mirage is a return to that style of play so I’ll probably be checking that out at some point.

[@wngmv]

3's problem was that it couldn't possibly stand up to ezio trilogy. And for a long time after Revelation, that was the problem. I remember being hyped, and hoping for a character as interesting as Ezio, interestingly historical characters and a setting as glamorous as renaissance italy. Instead, we got AC3, which was just fine. Unity's problem was optimization. It also came out around watch dogs which had a serious downgrade. People started to hate Ubisoft for all the lies and such.

It's not a dense world like maybe in Unity, but it's definitely not boring.

[@northmount2282]

Odyssey was a lesson to me on how much I'm willing to value thematic appeal. I was on board from day one with the Ancient Greece bit just because I grew up reading Percy Jackson. But the more I tried to experience the gameplay, the more it felt like it was asking me to have already put 30 or 40 hours in. Halfway through the story when I want to start finding secrets, it wanted me to be around level 50 in the areas I wanted to explore--which won't be achievable until new game plus. It sometimes led to a very memorable moment where I stood atop a large column crafting arrows to fire endlessly at a boss-level lion guarding a chest with the trident spear skin that I wanted, but the more I thought about this experience the more I feel like my time was wasted exploring a pretty sparce world just so I could get the xp to engage with what I actually wanted to engage with. The mercenaries mechanic that they copied from Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor was amazing though, and I have no notes.

[@SL4PSH0CK]

It wasn't really Connor that was the issue...it was the pacing overall, particularly the beginning of Connor's journey. I'm sure you researched this a bit and know that, but the hype for the game was real after assassins creed 2 because brotherhood and revelations just didn't have the same buzz about them despite good ratings. Also, it is crazy that the first assassins creed didn't hold up as well because at the time that's all we could talk about.

Unity still holds up today in my personal opinion. Especially with the mods ACU fixes to make the game better. The graphics, animations, and fluidity is just beyond its time.

Most video gamers are way too lazy to do research into the communication styles of Native Americans. I did. What I found is that Connor may be the most thoroughly researched and well portrayed protagonist in the AC Universe. Here's an excerpt of what I discovered: Rules for Communication in many Native American cultures - 1. You should know someone well before speaking to them for long periods of time or confiding in them. 2. Children should not display themselves verbally in front of adults. 3. It is inappropriate to express emotions in public or around people you don't know very well, verbally or non-verbally. 4. You shouldn't ask direct questions or expect an immediate response from people you don't know very well. 5. It is inappropriate to verbally discipline or praise a child in public. It should be dealt with in private/quietly. 6. It is inappropriate to speak FOR someone else, no matter who that person is. Everyone is titled to their own opinion, even a child. 7. "In Indian conversations, it is not the person who speaks first who necessarily controls the topic. This is because an immediate response to what someone has said is NOT always expected, but may be delayed. The respondent therefore has control over the topic by choosing WHEN to speak and what to say." Other rules consist of: Do not signal someone out directly, do not compete with answers, no answer can be said it is wrong, and do not gaze directly at someone the entire time they are talking. These rules and communication aspects of the Native American culture can cause problems between other cultures trying to communicate with the Native American Culture. (Communication Styles of Indian Peoples by Mary Heit -AWASIS Journal)

​@@MrVvulf 1. Not all Native American cultures were the same, but I'm guessing these relate to those in that part of America. 2. Whilst he may reflect an accurate depiction of how the culture works, that doesn't actually make a particularly compelling main character. Especially when it isn't explained and he never has proper interactions with many other native Americans. He's not a particularly memorable protagonist in the series for most people. 3. When AC3 was released, Smartphones and personal computers/laptops were a lot less commonplace. People outside of America are very unlikely to have any books on the subject in any libraries where they live as it is a very niche subject. The world of AC3 has many eccentric characters and famous figures and Connor feels rather bland by comparison. This isn't inherently a bad thing, but people just came from 3 back to back Ezio games. It's certainly a lot better than having an annoying protagonist, like Fallout 4. Rule of thumb, don't rely on people having prior knowledge to appreciate something. Show/explain it naturally and people aren't going to want to research something further if they aren't gripped by it. Compare this to Origins where there are plenty of things throughout the game to inspire further research into the subject.

My favorite ACs are Freedom Cry and Rogue, I love these smaller side stories so more than the big padded out games. Also, on a side note, I recently had to study for an American history exam and really got the urge to replay AC3, even though it wasn't my favorite by a long shot. Still stuck with me, I guess.

[@gregdouglass9279]

Assassin's Creed Odyseey is not only the best game in the AC franchise, its one of the great games ever made. You sir, are utterly insane!

[@codbfhalo98653]

You are the insane one. Odyssey is the worst thing in the franchise. It has no respect for the lore. The protagonist is atrocious and the writing is horrible. It has zero redeeming factors.

[@Henry-fr84]

Honest opinion, I played all of them apart from Mirage, and odyssey was the worst of them all, by a mile

[@kybean516]

I love how close you and I are on these games. Most people do not like AC3 as much as me but i thought it was the most amazing thing ever when it came out. Out of the new AC's Valhalla is defiently my favorite but I also take it in little bites.

[@426joshua]

This game was awesome to me. I have 100+ hours in this game, I completed like everything. I always loved the Ancient Greece and Sparta so the story line just hooked me but DUDE the Atlantis DLC was AMAZING!!

[@WJCMcdbm]

I love odyssey, probably cos it’s the first assassins creed I’ve played, since I wasn’t interested in it as a kid, it’s a type of game I like and I also love the setting and am really interested in Ancient Greece, but can understand if you don’t like it

[@cy_pher03]

Unity embodies the Assassins fantasy the best while Black Flag and Origins are my favorite games overall because of the simplicity of the gameplay, the good story and the beautiful open world

[@JamesSmith-ny2gb]

Unity thinks it does, but it really doesn’t

[@heylookitsthatonedude900]

Your channel rocks. The editing is legit top notch. Fuggin love ya. Keep going, ill be here for ya.

[@aaronicicle1867]

My man put Unity in S tier and Syndicate in D, damn

[@swagboii123ful]

combat was a downgrade/characters were not as likeable at all (used some of unity’s format yet still didn’t improve from the later game. After playing unity this year as well as syndicate his D tier is very justified

[@calebscott148]

We had the complete opposite experiences with syndicate. It’s by far my favorite game. My all time favorite setting, I loved the grapple gun because it kept the structures toned down so that the obvious handholds didn’t ruin the atmosphere, and I thought Jacob and the gang mechanics was what revelations tried to do perfected. Also having different routes for every assassination was sick

[@thepursuiterer]

Yeah, I found the grapple to make movement much quicker so I was able to play the game instead of just jumping around. I also liked Jacob and evie both. The only part of the game I disliked was the very overdone “yay teamwork” final battle, it was drawn out like 3 times too long

[@felixlenert3649]

Syndicate has also been one of my best assassins creed experiences, currently playing Unity and I like that one too A LOT but something about Syndicate felt more polished

[@Tinydude13]

I have experienced that feeling of a game feeling overrated when a friend REALLY likes a game with a few games my friend has made me play. They were overall enjoyable but until I really got into the game It definitely felt underwhelming.

[@bizlychannelYT]

I thought I was crazy trying to explain this

[@john190m]

ha ha thats funny, its not like i do that or anything

[@ic236]

It's like Six of Crows for me. It's so many people's favourire book so it's hard for it to live up to expectations when I finally read it. On the other hand, if I independently start reading/watching/playing something and someone else is really really hyped about it and me going through the journey, it makes me more hype about it!

[@bizlychannelYT]

@@ic236 I actually tried reading six of crows and it did not hook me for the same reason. Also just too many damn characters introduced at once I’m a simple man dammit.

[@oleandercrash4284]

As someone whose favourite AC game is Valhalla, totally agreed with everything said ❤
