The Sandy Sandbox of Assassin's Creed Origins

[@JAKX091]

That second pont pretty much sums up why Origins has proven one of my favourite open-world games, the adventure of it all.

[@robertcunningham1695]

The game's good. Scenery is top tier, story is decent. The problem this game faces is that they revamped the entire way the game works, expect the next one to take what they did right and expand on it. They'll flesh it out more. I hope.

[@tek1645]

brooklyn ad LOL. The opposite happened to me. Tried to play blacks flags but got bored after a week. AC Origins on the other hand I’m still playing after months and exploring. About to buy DLC next.

[@Killzoneguy117]

Perfectly said. The old Assassin's Creed games were great, but they often lacked any sense of adventure. With many of them, you're only ever running around one city and that can get old. I mean how many times do you need to see Hagia Sophia or the Palais de Tuillieres. I loved how Origins felt so open. It felt like a real open world with so much to explore, and with almost no load screens to break the action up, it only reinforced that openness. It feels like a real adventure. Like you're going around, exploring Egypt, righting wrongs, uncovering ancient secrets. I just loved how, without any loading screen or pause in the action, you could go from riding around in the vast, expansive desert, to fighting off bandits, to exploring some tomb of a long dead Pharoah to then stumbling on some massive ancient, yet still functioning installation of a long dead, hyper-advanced civilization hidden right beneath the already ancient tomb. One minute, you're exploring an Ancient Egyptian temple that is fully furnished and clearly in use, but a short journey away, you have another temple that is in complete ruins, and you're left to wonder its history. Who built it? Why? When? Everything and everywhere had a story. There was so much to discover, to learn, to see. Like those tombs that were built on top of those advanced ancient installations. Even without any context from Ubisoft, you could see what was happening. Pharoahs stumbled on something they believed to be of the Gods, and clearly sought to be buried there to be closer to those Gods. Along with that, the wide array of places to explore. Deserts, forests, mountains, cities, marshlands, farmlands, open seas. Origins isn't just a great Assassin's Creed game, it's a great game period. Ashraf Ismail and his team made some big promises, and they fucking delivered and more.

[@ShagadelicBY]

Differently leveled zones bother me in games. Pulls me right out of the immersion. TW3 was probably the worst one in this regard. I'm killing a griffin within the first hour of the game, then I sail to Skellege and get raped by an unarmored peasant. The only way this system would work would be if they planted weaker enemies in the starter zone (not lower leveled Dragons) then proceeded to introduce stronger enemies in other zones (not higher leveled Rabbits). Requires a bit more effort. Sure. But this way you get to have your cake and eat it too. Also. Traveling back to the first zone once you've progressed a bit feels so shit in games with these systems.

[@ThSadomasohista]

Though I agree that the best way to go about it in terms of immersion is to have weak things seem weak (plebs) and strong things be strong (dragons) But if I were to sacrifice this immersion for the benefit of a better gameplay (which levelled systems are for me) I'd make that deal. Plus, on the exact opposite of what you said, I adore going back to the first zone and being able to clearly quantify my progress, as what originally gave me struggles I can now just absolutely rape. But hey, everyone has their own opinion.

[@GianlucaSorrentinoVideos]

It's weird but my best memory from this game is when I first entered the Qattara Depression. This vast empty open landscape had such a weird atmosphere it felt like I was on another planet.

[@ellis5058]

[@Lofffarn]

You forgot to mention all the sandbox interactions in the envoirment like aiming over a torch sets your arrows on fire. Shooting the alarm with a fire arrow sets off the alarm so everyone in the camp rushes over to it while you steal their loot. Being able to throw oil vases on enemies to give them a significant weakness to fire. Hiding form guards by jumping in a moving cart with wheat in it. Getting in the ballista to take out heavy guards. Those are just some examples I just got of the top of my head, but all in all you've still made a great summary of Origins' gameplay.

[@supersloth1667]

Great video. This is how i felt, hadnt played in years and so glad I picked this one up. Its the assassin version of Skyrim IMO. And funnily enough ive been getting back into skyrim and put 50 hours into both already.

[@pneumonoultramicroscopicsi4065]

___ ___ u aren't used to play rpgs then. In an rpg you don't rush the story quests, you take your time and complete side quests along the way, if you do that you won't need to grind side quests because u've been rushing the main ones and the next quest is way above your level.

Lake mareotis feels like God himself was baptized in it. I can't imagine how Ubisoft manage to acquire so much detail. So goddamn much of detail and put it in such a gigantic and monstrous map.

Oh god I hope not, even though I know it will be. Origins threw away a lot of what I loved about AC (dense urban areas, engaging parkour system, satisfying stealth) in favour of instead focusing on combat and RPG systems. Though the world was incredibly beautiful, I'll give it that.

Good points. I would just add that I LOVE random NPC group activities in this game...dances, music bands, sacrifices, temple praying, field workers... there is so much happening around.. Once I was going from roof to roof, I even saw a tutor teaching 2 kids in a private yard! I have no idea if those little scenes are authentic, but they made me stop and look/listen at NPCs. Not sure that I've done this in any other game. Combined with the graphics, the sound design (I noticed that the wheels of your carts do different sound depending on the ground they roll in... crazy!), it's amazing and I agree that this open world is a little piece of art.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Origin's takes far more from *Witcher 3* (which took from other open world games, including old Assassin's Creed, ironically), and developers admitted it openly. To be honest, this game, which is a audio visual masterpiece, falls under it's own weight of mechanics, grinding and it's attempt at making each quest unique.

[@doctorsam5771]

The water in this game probably puts any other water mechanics in the industry to shame

[@jaden8811]

This is easily my favourite of the RPG Assassin's Creed games. The setting and world are just incredible to explore while Odyssey's world was missing something for me. I still loved Odyssey but Origins was a little bit more special.

[@yousifosama4414]

I disagree with the comparison with The Elder Scrolls. I think it is apparent this game borrowed far more from The Witcher 3 than from Skyrim or any other TES. Detective mechanics in Origins call back to the witcher senses in TW3, and fighting system is far more similar to TW or Shadow of War than it is to TES. I highly doubt leveled enemies came from some nostalgia to Morrowind rather than the recently released and successful Witcher. I think a comparison between those two would have been far more fitting.

[@TheFirebreather]

The detective mechanics call back to arkham origins

[@yudhok]

As follower of AC franchise, It's a good rpg open world game but not an assassin's game. That's why this game is polarizing towards it's fan base.

[@Ukyo82]

This game is highly underestimated(deserve much more sales), possible this happen because last Assassins was not very successful, AC Origins is kind best single player game ever not just from Assassins series, is just amazing journey and stuff to do, there no else game who can even match this(maybe only new Red Dead Redemption will have chance).

I guess i just hate the RPG gameplay system or something idk, but i know that i spent 600 hours in Skyrim and that is because it was much more immersive, the interface wasn't in my face, there waren't any pictures or any flashy stuff that doesn't fit the atmosphere at all like in Origins, every item was displayed in front of you, no flashy photos or anything. And it isn't even an Assassins Creed at its core, it is an RPG disguising itself as Assassins Creed so the whole ''its the Animus'' argument doesn't really work especially since i literally don't have a care for the modern day anymore since they fucked it all up in the ending of AC 3.

I don't know why, but I have a thing for damage numbers showing during combat. I'm an aRPG and cRPG player, so theorycrafting and building different types of characters is my favorite thing in games.

I miss games like Suikoden III and early Final Fantasy where you have a story that hooks you from start to finish of the game making the game play very addicting. Too many games are trying to go with sandbox make your own choices game play which is just harder to make but not funner to play. There is little sense of accomplishment in those games. On the other hand, a game with an enticing story makes even grinding and hunting for items feel like you are enriching the story. Many games nowadays just make you grind and hunt items but you feel it's just time consuming and want to get on with the next stage of the story. Games with an enticing story and dialogue makes you want to grind and hunt for those items. Anyone have any recommendations? Games that don't meet the criteria include: Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Witcher 3 (beautiful but story doesn't hook you), Mafia III, etc. I tried a Final Fantasy game that was after X and it also didn't have an addicting story and game play.

Its hard to discribe Bayek personality, and hard to care for his cause, which lets be honest, "they kiled my child revenge" thing is pretty "meh".... Ubi bragged about having a lot of side quests but they were all boring to be honest. They never manage to make me care about them. They need quality in terms of writting and creativity. They should have focus on egypt mysteries way more. In conclusion, its very amazing to me that despite my feeling of unsatisfaction towards the story and side quest which is so important to me, i kept playing because the map and art design and graphics are absolutely stunning. Sadly, its what ubisoft hace become to me. They have good gameplays and environnement but everything else is underwhealming and disappoiting. They need to hire better writters!! until then, i will never buy ubisoft games at full price.

Like playing in a sandbox where you can create and destroy and create again. Games like assassin's creed and elder scrolls are not sandbox games. They are open world, non linear games which is not sandbox. That's why they are different terms. Things like minecraft and terraria were released with sandbox description and all the game dev's jumped on the sand boxband wagon while not being truly sandbox games. I dont blame gamers for confusing this because many gamers were not into true sandbox games back in the day. I blame developers wanting more tags in the digital stores. And I doubt anyone who misuses the term will ever care or change. Kinda like newb and noob.

Really great video! Although I think AC Origins borrow from Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild more than it does from Skyrim.

I killed so many civilians one time the game changed its name too *Assassin's* *Creed* : *Black* *Death* Like did anyone else poison a corpse and carry it around a city and kill hundreds of people because they were bored xD. Like literally it wouldn't kick you cause you didn't directly poison the civilians and they would walk over the poisoned corpses and get poisoned so basically you end up with infinite slaughter muhahahahahahahaha

It's fun to travel and create your own adventure, not the story line. It's primitive, dumb, cliche, boring and repetitive. Dialogues are atrocious, side quests are all the same - go from point A to point B and kill someone or bring something or someone. And there is no RPG elements at all: there is little to none interaction with the world and your skill points spent will get you to the same one build as you can't play different way that is more efficient.
