Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Not happy that the two expansions are episodic as im not a fan of episodic games at all. With that said, I'll just wait for all three episodes to be released and play them straight through.

AC3 Remastered ALONE is worth getting the season pass, for me. Absolutely loved that game!

Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Not a huge fan of the episode take on the DLC. Knowing that AC3 Remastered will also release as a stand alone when it comes out in March eases my mind in knowing I'm likely going to hold off on this until I hear more after initial release.

I'm pumped for AC3 Remastered, though. That'll be a definite purchase.

Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey

My favorite site - GamingBolt gave ACO a 9.0/10 and said that it's one of the best games in the franchise. ACG (Karak) gave it a BUY. So im very happy. Worked today and im now off until next Wednesday so woohoo!!! So hyped!!!

This looks awesome...I skipped Origins too, so may get that first sometime, but good to see the series adapt a bit.

Origins was freaking AWESOME. Definitely grab that!

Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey

I picked up my gold edition this morning and played for about an hour and a half.

Overall the game feels a lot more polished than Origins in a lot of the animations.

Origins was one of my favorite games of all time. I took my time and played it over 9 months before beating it. I’m off work for the next 2 weeks and I’m seriously thinking about dropping the cash to play this early.

Damn it Flight. Drop the cash. Grab the book and post pictures of the game on your QLED. You slipping......I expected 4 pictures from you by now.

Lol. I’m off work due to non work related injury. I can’t be gaming and posting pics and shizz. Will be getting the guide though.

Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Had a great time with AC Origins but with Red Dead 2 coming out in a few weeks, and still having to finish Spider-Man I don’t think I’ll have enough time to make it worth my investment. May jump on an Ubisoft deal on the PC later on down the road.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Bit the bullet and caved and purchased the Gold Edition.

Just noticed there are 2 modes. Guided Mode and Exploration Mode which is being called a newer approach to play style. The user must investigate the world to uncover targets and quest objectives. This is the way ACO is meant to be experienced.

The game gives you an audio cue when close to certain things. You just have to use the eagle to pinpoint it.

Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Picked up yesterday at 10am EST. Started playing at 12pm and stopped just after 11pm. Finished the opening region 100%.

ACO is simply excellent thus far and to see how much they added/changed/fine tuned in just an extra year is simply amazing. Plus the controls are finally fluid and responsive where as before, it felt slightly clunky. Even took me and hour or two to adapt to that. LOL. Visuals are superb. HDR looks great on my 4K HDR TV. Playing through the first region and maybe it's just me but I feel like im playing a special game which when it comes to AC, I haven't had this feeling since Black Flag.

I'm playing with Kassandra on hard with aim assist off. Love the HUD options. Compass, Enemy Detection Meter, Enemy Proximity (that white glare on the edge of the screen), Tips and Hints, Enemy Ranged Meter (when enemies are shooting arrows at you from a distance), Damage Numbers and Lock On are all turned off. The remaining 13 options are on. I died six times in the first region and holy hell, it was levels 3-5 but if you go past 5, the region scales with you automatically which means that you're on an even playing field and really have to think about what skills you want to acquire and upgrade.

If the 11 hour gaming session didn't make it obvious, ACO is easily a 9/10 for me personally. It's basically Black Flag and Origins combined but with a lot more depth and systems in the game.

I am playing on guided mode though but reading and watching videos of exploration mode, it doesn't seem like they made it that difficult to get to where you need to go but with that said, I like having the waypoints and icons on the map. Even in guided mode, some quests only highlight a radius on the map.

Tomorrow will be another long gaming session.
