Just found out this game comes out on the same day as Mario Odyssey and Wolfenstein 2. That might be a problem.

Wow the back of physical copies of games nowadays are bare bones. The back of AC: Origins is just "THE ORIGIN STORY OF THE ASSASSINS" with 3 small pictures. Everything else is technical information.

Oops, I kinda sequence broke the first boss by accident. I hope I didn't miss any important cutscenes or anything.

By the way I've heard higher rarity mounts are faster? Is this true?

EDIT: Anyone else unable to download the Desert Cobra pack?

It's a nice touch that Senu won't show you materials for enemies too high leveled for you.

Bleed/Poison on hit seem like the best weapon effects by far. Anyone find anything better?

Just had a quest where one character was completely silent for some reason, even though their lips were moving. Not even any subtitles. I wasn't sure if it was a bug or not at first since there's another character who had their tongue cut out and can't speak.

A lot of mechanics they don't tell you about. The one about Sleeping/Poison darts exploding when they hit fire is probably the most useful.

They kinda are, especially when you start getting into the higher level ones and the other drivers get really aggressive. No way to cheese them that I've figured out, either.

Well as far as I can tell the rewards total like 1500 gold and a horse so no big loss.

The Hold Light Attack combo for the Axe is ridiculously powerful. Definitely my favourite weapon type.

EDIT: On the other hand I find Dual Swords near worthless against more than 1 enemy at a time.

So the achievement/trophy for selling 100 trinkets at once is specifically for trinkets, animal parts don't count. I only had like 20 after 10 levels of saving them so this might take a while...

Oh gently caress off Ubisoft, you don't need to tell me about the Trial of the Gods quest EVERY SINGLE TIME I open my menu. I'm only level 24 too so it's not like I could do the quest anyway.

WAY smaller in scope.

So they still haven't made an Assassin's Creed 5 yet right? I wonder if that'll be the next one.

I think the only new AC game I would ever buy would be set in late 1940's Buenos Aires and would feature zero templar or alien nonsense, just straight Nazi hunting and murdering.

So I guess Black Flag will remain my last AC game.

I still think World War 1 would be cool.

I’d love to. But how?

Would also like to be able to pet cats.

If you stand still for a bit Senu will land on your arm. Then you can press Triangle/Y/E to pet her or give her a treat.

For cats just crouch when they come close, you don't need to press anything.

Has anyone played Origins with level scaling on? How well does it work? It sounds good at first but then I thought about how weapon drops probably won't scale so you could get stuck with poo poo weapons if you get too high level.

EDIT: Oh I'm reading that it DOES scale weapon drops?

Okay why the gently caress is there no "pet cat" button in Origins???

Because it's automatic. Just stand still next to a cat for a few seconds.

They're also worth playing because Origins took the gameplay in quite a different direction. I'd say Revelations is also skippable because it was literally a filler game they made because they needed a game the year before AC3 was ready.

But the cinematic trailer was so rad!
