just popping in to say I'm playing origins again and I have no idea why I stopped, it's so drat good. the scale blows my mind on a regular basis. my only regret is getting it for PS4 instead of PC, but I remedied that for Odyssey, which I'll jump on soon as I'm done with this

Back playing Origins again because I refuse to play Odyssey until I finish the second dlc. I'm not especially unhappy about this, such a good game and I love Egypt. I picked Odyssey up for the PC, so the visual jump when I do move from PS4 should be significant. ... AC Aztec when.

In Origins, do shield mods always work, or are they only active while blocking? Stuff like absorb rate, melee resist, ranged resist absorb value victrix fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Aug 25, 2019 |

Please be true I'm just about to finish Pharohs and move on to Odyssey. Bit bummed I didn't get a legendary sickle or heavy blade until like the last ten hours, and I still don't have a heavy blunt. Origins is a hell of a game though man. Hyped to head to Greece in a few hours. victrix fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Aug 26, 2019 |

Story wise is there an appropriate point to do Legacy of the First Blade or Atlantis? Is lost tales of Greece just extra side quests?

I always figured it was leading up to a modern day AC3 with us playing Desmond in some slick assassin v abstergo goons in cities around the globe, secret bases, and skyscrapers but at some point The Franchise became a thing, so now it has plot armor and cannot die Building a new beefy pc this week, looking forward to giving this another go

metrics based design is a plague on game design and I'm incredibly happy there's a thriving indie scene I get it, AAA dev is incredibly expensive and risky but rip you if you fall outside their bell curve of engagement due to your personal preferences (or skill in multiplayer games) I try to approach games like AC with the goal of just soaking up the Obvious Budget - because I'm not going to get the same quality of narrative or boundary pushing I'll find in some $15 games

bike tory posted:The core gameplay is fun and they've created some decent protagonists recently but I wouldn't pay NZ$160 for that alone and it's why I have zero interest in Ubisoft's other sandbox games. thinking on it, that's probably why I bounced off watchdogs and ghost recon so hard the framing there ranges from "I have enough corporate hellscape dystopia in my daily life, I don't need it in my games too thanks" to just pure  on the ghost recon sideand I like stupid cod games for multiplayer, but trying to immerse myself in a pseudo milsim where I'm Clearly The Good Guy is uh, yeah, not working for me also why Immortals is cool and good

Kassandra (and Odyssey) must have been extremely popular for them to do this ... which is fine, because Kassandra owns

DaysBefore posted:Haven't played an Assassins Creed since the pirate one (which still rules), but I like the Viking Invasion time period. This game worth picking up? Maybe only on a sale? all three of the "mythological trilogy" are very similar gameplay wise, I think it mostly comes down to which flavor you prefer, sandy, watery, or peat boggy I want to say one of them is free to play at the moment, but they all go on sale quite often e: they're on sale right now on ubis store, big discounts

Lobok posted:I don't understand that trailer. Like it would look like an amazing new game if Assassin's Creed didn't already exist but obviously it does so instead it looks like the most generic entry possible. It was just ticking the usual boxes. Until the VO said the name Basim I wasn't sure if it was just a remake of the first game. That's pretty much where I landed Like it totally looks like a very competent AC game... that I've already played several times I'm sure it'll make some segment of their fanbase happy, but it didn't do a whole lot for me Mesoamerica, China, Africa, India, SEA, any of those would have piqued my interest even if the core gameplay was bog standard AC fare But with the re-re-re-rehashed setting and mechanics?  I'll check it out when it arrives, I don't bear it any significant ill will or anything, they're just not really doing much to get me personally hyped here

I liked the meta plot untilman nurse posted:I liked the meta plot in asscreed a lot, up until the end of 3, yeah that Once it became clear it was a cash cow and going to be a forever IP instead of a story with an ending I pretty much totally lost interest in the core conceit of the metaplot because it was very apparent nothing would happen to change the status quo I fully expected the finale to be AC in modern day, doing rad assassin poo poo in a modern city with all the skills you learned in the past - which, you know, that's sort of what happened, in tiny bits of the games (and I guess in movie?) But again, they wouldn't commit to ending it or progressing it in any meaningful way Which doesn't really affect my enjoyment of 'run around beautifully realized historical location stabbing dudes and dudettes', I just don't want to run around in the same historical location again, there's a half dozen super cool places anyone could rattle off that would make for stunning settings, and instead we get Mirage

ilitarist posted:I don't see a problem with this at all. Yeah I've never had any issue with the core nonsense ancient aliens stuff, I think it's actually a fun framing mechanic The modern metaplot sucks not because it's an inherently flawed idea, but because there's no real stakes since they've made it abundantly clear they'll never go anywhere with it Which doesn't actually preclude still doing interesting/fun stuff with it in the historical stories

Ubi hit me with a lengthy survey so my thoughts were tuned to AC for a bit I find I'm warming to Odyssey over time even more than I did when I played it (and I really liked it!). First Blade was offensively trash, but I loved the mythical dlc both in Origins and Odyssey (one of the areas in Origins is just incredible). Conversely I still have not finished Valhalla, and like, theoretically vikings are my favorite of the trifecta. In practice though, Egypt and Kassandra are just too strong and England is loving boring . It's similar to the problem I had with Witcher 3 (other than the assy combat), shithole villages are... well, lovely. I'll probably give Valhalla another chance at some point, but I feel like revisiting the first two is more likely. Mirage doesn't do much for me, the prospect of live service Infinity is repulsive, and Japan AC is less exciting with sushi ghost in existence. That leaves the future of AC in a weird place for me personally. I guess I can't be too upset given the amount of game there is in the too much stuff trilogy, but it would be loving wild to see AC Maya or AC China or whatever with today's fidelity of AAA games.

I dropped the series after that because I thought it needed a big rethink So I came back for Origins and was quite happy with that and Odyssey ... now they're going back to the formula I lost interest in  (Valhalla has problems too, we're at another "time for a refresh" point in the series)

exquisite tea posted:Chain Assassinate combined with the legendary effect from the Atlantis DLC that did 50% of your assassinate damage as an AOE. If I replay Odyssey I'm going to straight up have to not use the spear power that did repeated stabs, gave you meter, and kept you invulnerable doing it That ability was an omega tier crutch that I over-abused and while the animation is rad the first few dozen times, I'm completely sick of even the thought of seeing it again (and it loving gets longer when upgraded) Come to think of it, one of the weapon types in Origins had a similar overpowered ability, but it was less annoying there due to the speed of the anim, only annoying due to other weapons being less useful on higher difficulty (Valhalla has been so easy I don't care and just use whatever )

Vandar posted:I know it's been said a million times over but Valhalla was so loving disappointing compared to Origins and especially Odyssey. When I first played Origins I immediately thought "I hope they do Greek and Norse myths" Be careful what you ask for (Odyssey is great though so I guess if the price of that is a very mid Norse game, whatever)

I think that's both what Mirage tries and fails to do the reviews sound like "yes this is old school ac and that's cool and fun" and at the same time "this is old school ac and they haven't done nearly enough to innovate or iterate that formula within that framework" which if you look at it from the lens of a prettied up DLC makes plenty of sense - it's not that the fundamental concept is bad (for people who like it of course), it's that even for people predisposed to like it they didn't do enough here, and for those disinclined, it's going to be a total miss anyway I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum, if running around in Baghdad stabbing mooks sounds like a good time, dig in!
