Orgins was so unique and diverse with everything from sahara desert to egyptian settlements and then entire regions controlled by the romans. It was just such an experience!
With Origins, they tried something new and put all their effort and passion into making it as good as possible. With Odyssey and beyond, they're just cashing in on the new formula.
@@benjaminbakker7643 Origins had a promising start for the new modern day protagonist and Odyssey promptly threw her story down the toilet. The cutscene animations were bad, voice acting wasn't great and it had an overall goofy atmosphere. The gameplay was fun but as an AC game it failed and I'm not saying it because there weren't Assassins in it.
Origins was the first and only game I purchased on release. I saw the reviews and knew it. This was _the_ game. The physical "deluxe" copy was only 60€, it got you a CD sound track, large paper print of the in-game map and an actually useful and cool looking digital download equipment pack. Very nice given that it cost as much as a standard copy of any other AAA game at the time. The game was amazing. I don't say that often, if at all about games, but that game was truly something else. A beautiful, detailed map with truly great graphics. Very educational as it introduced you to Egyptian culture and heavily encouraged you to read more. Made me pass Egyptian history with flying colours in school at the time. The story was decent, though I think of it as more of an addition to an already great experience. I got Odyssey last year for dirt cheap on blu-ray as well, but IMO it was missing that wow factor, it was a lot more story driven but the story itself was somewhat comical as you went out to meet literally all the famous people of Greece during that time. It felt cheapened. Then I got Valhalla for like 5€ just to see what it's about. The graphics are nice on PS5 but that's about it. I played through it just because, but I don't have that much positive to comment.
You mean how like every game franchise has always been handled? You find something that works and you stick to it for at least a little while. People complain when a game changes the formula from what they previously liked, people complain when they stay too much the same, what do you want them to do? Because the way people talk, nobody will ever be satisfied no matter what they do.
@@godsmacking99Ubisoft clearly did not "stick to it for at least a little while." When people get a sequel product from a company, they expect tradition in franchise, while innovation in mechanics. These are not mutually exclusive, like you claim. Will there be people who complain whatever decision Ubisoft makes? Yeah. Obviously. This goes for not only Ubisoft, but for every other company in the world. This discussion is *clearly* not about this.
@@P-KopSlayer Releasing a sequel to a franchise does not mean releasing the same game over and over again. People are mad at Ubisoft because they don't innovate. Take Dark Souls, for example. What new game came out in the series? Elden Ring, which completely changed the linear format of the previous games to the open-world genre. They innovated, and they succeeded. This is what is missing in Ubisoft.
I played this and Odyssey exclusively for the historical mode. Climbing through the great pyramid chambers was very satisfying. The French one I got on discount just to get into Notre Dam, and then uninstalled.
Problem was they overdid it a little bit. If you consider 5 of the ubi guys ending up in prison with the stories coming up after origins, they probably should have made a slightly less good game.
I love this game it's so beautiful. They basically have a free mode where you can adventure to see all the historic sites everything's named. You can free travel anywhere. You can use the bird mode and travel as far as you want and fast trouble from the birds view like whatever you're looking at as the bird. Pretty awesome

@@UnicornpirateNah Black Flag has a great Assassin's Creed story at the core of it, it's just a slower burn compared to the others. Edward Kenway slowly becoming part of the creed is one of the best parts of the game. People who say it's just a pirate sim I don't think they actually noticed the narrative at all
Origins was a masterpiece, every aspect of this game from it's atmosphere to it's open world to the characters exuded love and passion. The Egypt that they pulled off in this game is so good it's unbelievable how they managed to make a world this majestic and beautiful with nothing but books and pictures to go off of from. Everything else from then was corporate sludge. Ubisoft isn't incapable of making good games it's just that they won't let their devs make a good game. Modern day Ubisoft will cut costs on literally everything and with every one of their legacy franchises.
@@spartasama3214 it was not that huge compared to Odyssey where the grind to get gear and better weapons took hours but Odyssey's world looked beautiful which made the painful grind rewarding , it got horribly worse with Valhalla , it's atmosphere and world seemed so bland and lifeless even NPCs sucked .

@@Jaswant7785 Come on what's with the valhalla hate. We are talking about vikings,witches, knights, old england . What do I vibrant colours and life for I want to see blood, darkness and gore.

(Ok I will say it's a bit on the bigger size but that is not a hate reason, we all play elden ring with 50 builds and same bosses with countless of deaths but it's one of the best games ever.)
@@justsmile-p8u I get what people mean when they say they like Valhalla, and to each their own opinions, but personally that game is just plain stupid. I was playing through the entire series from start to finish to prepare for Mirage, and I stopped after a while playing Valhalla, and I think I'm not touching it again, or playing Mirage, or Shadows. That's how bad it is.
There are some amazing details in this game. One that floored me is when you have only one arrow, it shows a single arrow, that moves around in the quiver. Some really great side missions too, and amazing worldbuilding. I know some people liked it, Odyssey really threw this away in favour of ultimate ubisoft-ification.
I played this game once, and when I walked in the desert, I saw a lot of strange things like Bush on fire or other stuff. I think it was so cool for them to added those detail
@@Rchigo because most of the team on Ubisoft Montreal (who devs most games ) are woman. No offense but woman have no f idea how to make a game and Ubisoft's downfall proves it.
This video proves that Ubisoft has talented developers. The fact that their creativity isn't used is pure evil and it's disrespectful to art as an activity.
I had no desire to play this when it first came out. It wasn't even the departure of the series for me, I was already tired of Ubisoft back then. Came home from work one night and my roommate was playing this. He was on a faluca in the Nile on his way to Alexandria. When I got my chance, I started this game. I love it. Especially Bayek. He was such a well written and acted character. I really enjoy this game.
This game was special, it wasn’t the best AC game, but cause of the story it’s telling it made sense, the world was fun to explore, the setting was gorgeous, the story was captivating, the characters were actually likable. Man…I wish I could forget it and play it again😂
A truly superb game. AC2 used to be my favourite but I've completed Origins twice and I'm still playing it. I love the setting and Bayek is a very strong character. I'd love to see a continuation of his story.
This whole era of ubisoft was fantastic. Games like ac origins, farcry 5, south park fractured but whole, and watch dogs 2 were Literally amazing. Idk what happened to them but they completely bottomed out with there new game's
Quick reminder that there are good devs working at Ubi. They just don’t usually have time or motivation to make good games with the usual milking of the franchises
One thing i loved about origins is how vast the map is like if you were to cross it without a horse or camel you would be walking easily for about an hour and a half
Haha love how you clipped the hallucination trophy stuff. This game is a masterpiece, and I just finished story again and going to play DLC. Not buying anymore Ubisoft games sadly….unless they went back to the old staff.
One of my favorites games of all time. Awesome story, good gameplay and many hours spent. For me it was a pleause to check every question mark on the map and ending this game in 100%.

For me Assassin's Creed finished with III, but for me Origins is like the last good AC game that felt genuine. It was cool. I wish Ubisoft never fired Patrice Desilet, let him finish his vision, and then get rid of present story and tell stories of other interesting assassins across history and globe without repercuting the main lore. It's a cashgrab, but atleast it's made with thought. Instead of just "oh, wait a minute so you can be anyone, in anywhere in anytime? This is amazing! Get rid of him!" Or even make a spin-off series that doesn't involve Assassins, Templars or any conspiracy isu or anything (not necessary), and just be about other characters in history.
Pretty amazing game they made, really beautiful map with a great story and protagonist. I just didn’t like the combat and the fact that if a enemy was a bit too high level of and I tried to jump on there head to assassinate them, it would do like 10 damage and they’d just push me off. Kinda takes away from the whole assassin thing when you can’t assassinate… Still haven’t finished the game because of it tbh, but still a pretty damn good game

I knew things were going downhill of the IP when the studio was to lazy to make a Male ending of Eivor. Don’t give the player choice, if it doesn’t affect the actual game, male Eivor should have been canon.
@@darkknight3050 you say both should be canon and then only male. I agree that we could have two canon protagonists (like Evie and Jacob) but Ubisoft didn't do that
Ashraf Ismail, former director of Assassin's Creed Origins and *Assassin's Creed Valhalla*, faced accusations in 2020 related to inappropriate personal conduct, including claims that he misled women about his marital status. While Ubisoft launched an internal investigation and ultimately dismissed Ismail from the company, these allegations were never brought to court, and no legal charges were filed against him. As a result, although his actions led to his departure from Ubisoft, Ismail was never formally convicted or found guilty in a legal proceeding.
@@CamtrackIncorrect. As far as I remember, he used his position in the company to hook up with his female fans on top of lying about his marital status. That was a mistake on his part, not because he hooked up with them, but because he used his position to hook up with them. Had he hooked up without doing that, I don't think it would have been a problem, as long as the other side agrees.
@@CamtrackAgain, you didn't read my comment properly. Yes, normally it would be just like you said, however that is only if he hadn't used his position in Ubisoft to do those personal things. A person's personal things (hook ups and all..) should be kept separate from your job and out of the business after all.
I don't know, Never got through 10 minutes of this game, I Stopped when it said I couldn't do a higher level mission because my level was too low, but I did it anyway and it was the most mundane thing I've ever done.
@@theInfra-Recon yeeeeaah. The worst thing about the newer games until Mirage. I used trainers to max my level and then set the game to scale up enemies to me so that the levels was the same across the game. Made it Waaaaaaay more enjoyable
@@KIRKMODS Huh? There's no such option on Odyssey to scale enemies up to you. They're either higher than you based on their initial location or scaled to your level. You can set their levels to be higher, but you literally can't scale them up to you.
@RadioHead-s7nI never understood the micro transactions bs. Just because you're mentally too weak to not consume, doesnt mean its an issue. I never bought anything for Origins and finished the entire game easily.
@RadioHead-s7n Bro, games are so not important to me so 'fanboying ubisoft' or any gaming company is something I would never, ever care about. If I wouldnt like it I wouldnt complain. I would just play another game because games are supposed to be fun. Don't project your importance of games in your life onto me. Oh and Origins didnt take me even remotely close to 100+ hours and again I had to buy NOTHING to play it and I replayed the game only a month ago. Do I think micro transactions should be illegal? Yes I do. However you're just not going to act like anyone forces you to ESPECIALLY in AC Origins in which you werent forced even one bit to do so. If you'd say a game like NBA2K? Yeah the micro transactions for you just to keep up with the rest is wild, but AC games????? Nahhhhhh. Anyone that spends extra cash on AC, thats on them.
@RadioHead-s7n There is nothing mature about not gaming or gaming. I just said they aren't important to me since it's a game. It's not a survival necessity and not the only means of entertainment. And I'm also not 'defending' anything. I just said your complaints don't make sense to me even giving an example that I would be willing to understand if it were about games that actually abuse micro transactions, but you know what I did when NBA2K started with those? I stopped playing the game. It's really not that hard. AC clearly doesnt even come close to actual micro transaction games. You arent forced in any form of way in AC to actually do micro transaction no matter how much you keep repeating it. It's simply untrue. You not liking the RPG style? Fair enough but that doesnt mean the game became 'less good' because that simply depends on preference. Some people don't like RPG's some dont like MMORPG's etc. Point being, just play another game. A game is SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. If its not fun to you to the degree that you start to complain, it's time to skip it in. You honestly cant say I'm not making sense saying this.
@RadioHead-s7n I played through the whole game. It was in fact NOT super grindy. You didn't have to grind anything at all. Just progressing normally and doing the missions that are fit for your level as you go is viable. The boosters are there for people who want to basically complete the game asap. Doing side missions, a bit of hunting, races, ring fights are all super fun. Also the world was amazing to explore. You can go into many pyramids and tombs to find stuff. They even have events to have huge field bosses where you fight gods called the Trial of Gods. The rpg system is not everyone's cup of tea. But at that point AC needed a soft reboot. The franchise has been going downhill for a while and became stale. Every game was feeling the same. You get the same 500 collectibles clogging your map bs. Same combat system, stealth system. The change was much needed. And it kinda worked. Odessey and Valhalla sold extremely well.
I didn't like that I couldn't sneak on someome to kill him from behind with one blow if the enemy's level was higher than mine. Like come on, I'm an assassin, I'm not suppose to be stronger but patient, astute and quiet!
For a second there, I thought it was another one of Ubisoft's typical glitches being found in another open world game before realizing... Oh, they actually put in the detail of the main character experiencing hallucinations from heat stroke. You won't see something like this type of attention to detail anymore.
Origins is by far, the best of the post-2015 games in my opinion. Exploring the world of this game was one the most memorable open-world experiences I’ve ever had.

Arno as revenge and Connor looking for the last missing Templars in the new land but in the end they feel more pity when they find him in his condition and hear his story and reasons for all what he did and in the end Arno can perhaps forgive him for killing his father with a scene where maybe Shay protects and saves them from another threat and pays with his life. That would have been so much nicer than Syndicate and what many would have wanted as a ending story for these three awesome characters….
Origins is still my favorite AC game.
@@purefoldnz3070 duly noted.
For me its a toss up between AC2 and Black Flag. You can say that BF is more of a pirate sim than an AC game but its soo good.
It's tied with Black Flag for me personally. Both are made by the same team too
@@UnicornpirateNah Black Flag has a great Assassin's Creed story at the core of it, it's just a slower burn compared to the others. Edward Kenway slowly becoming part of the creed is one of the best parts of the game. People who say it's just a pirate sim I don't think they actually noticed the narrative at all
@@irecordwithaphone1856 Oh yeah it's much better than the RPGs
I take this as a reminder that the talented artists working at these triple-A companies are full of creative power anxiously waiting to be expressed.
Origins was a masterpiece, every aspect of this game from it's atmosphere to it's open world to the characters exuded love and passion. The Egypt that they pulled off in this game is so good it's unbelievable how they managed to make a world this majestic and beautiful with nothing but books and pictures to go off of from. Everything else from then was corporate sludge. Ubisoft isn't incapable of making good games it's just that they won't let their devs make a good game. Modern day Ubisoft will cut costs on literally everything and with every one of their legacy franchises.

Odyssey was good too, bad AC tho
AC Origins is a really outstanding game. The only flaw about this game, is its sheer size.
@@spartasama3214 it was not that huge compared to Odyssey where the grind to get gear and better weapons took hours but Odyssey's world looked beautiful which made the painful grind rewarding , it got horribly worse with Valhalla , it's atmosphere and world seemed so bland and lifeless even NPCs sucked . Origins is still the best one out of all new gen Assassin's creed by far
Also Origins is iirc the last game with proper faceanimations through mocap.
@@Jaswant7785 Come on what's with the valhalla hate. We are talking about vikings,witches, knights, old england . What do I vibrant colours and life for I want to see blood, darkness and gore. Valhalla is 2nd best ac after black flag and I've played all. (Ok I will say it's a bit on the bigger size but that is not a hate reason, we all play elden ring with 50 builds and same bosses with countless of deaths but it's one of the best games ever.)
@@justsmile-p8u I get what people mean when they say they like Valhalla, and to each their own opinions, but personally that game is just plain stupid. I was playing through the entire series from start to finish to prepare for Mirage, and I stopped after a while playing Valhalla, and I think I'm not touching it again, or playing Mirage, or Shadows. That's how bad it is.
@MendigoLouco The worst thing about Valhalla is that there are hints of a good narrative that is butchered by the game's bloat and structure.
I was alone, kinda drunk, played the game and then Ptolemy suddenly sat behind my horse and suddenly said
"They have killed Egypt"
I was scared af😂😂😂
I have spent countless hours in Origins and I’m still finding things to do to enjoy myself. Wish we could get another game like it

How ironic that most recent Ubi open worlds feel more deserted than the one game that had actual desert
this is my favourite assassins creed game
Origins and Odyssey my favourite New generation AC games.
Origins was under influence of Witcher 3 and it was under longer development unlike other games with one year development cycle.
There are some amazing details in this game. One that floored me is when you have only one arrow, it shows a single arrow, that moves around in the quiver. Some really great side missions too, and amazing worldbuilding. I know some people liked it, Odyssey really threw this away in favour of ultimate ubisoft-ification.
1:07 Origins is one of my fav games of all time, yet I've never actually seen that one before!
Bruh
Me neither actually and I've played this game for countless hours
It must just be super rare then
Odyssey is better
@@Jpcraque ooh I love Odyssey too. It definitely has better combat but it just doesn't match origins visuals
I played this game once, and when I walked in the desert, I saw a lot of strange things like Bush on fire or other stuff. I think it was so cool for them to added those detail
Ubisoft changed very much back then. It lost %87 of its value in less than 5 years. It won't be ubisoft in 4-5 years.
50% of the failure will be on the incels circle jerkers
My guess is that Microsoft will buy it
@@Rchigo because most of the team on Ubisoft Montreal (who devs most games ) are woman. No offense but woman have no f idea how to make a game and Ubisoft's downfall proves it.
This video proves that Ubisoft has talented developers. The fact that their creativity isn't used is pure evil and it's disrespectful to art as an activity.
Peak Assassin's Creed story
Remember play this on my PS4 back in 2018, an absolutely gorgeous experience
I had no desire to play this when it first came out. It wasn't even the departure of the series for me, I was already tired of Ubisoft back then. Came home from work one night and my roommate was playing this. He was on a faluca in the Nile on his way to Alexandria. When I got my chance, I started this game. I love it. Especially Bayek. He was such a well written and acted character. I really enjoy this game.
Origins is still one of the most beautiful games I have ever played , lets also not forget the soundtrack by Sarah Schachner
The soundtrack was incredible, honestly might be the best OST overall for an AC game, maybe tied with AC3 from Lorne Balfe
Ubisoft never had problems with creating beautiful graphics
Their problem is with the horrible storylines and lazy writing.
Now yes but not back then
This game was special, it wasn’t the best AC game, but cause of the story it’s telling it made sense, the world was fun to explore, the setting was gorgeous, the story was captivating, the characters were actually likable. Man…I wish I could forget it and play it again😂
A truly superb game. AC2 used to be my favourite but I've completed Origins twice and I'm still playing it. I love the setting and Bayek is a very strong character. I'd love to see a continuation of his story.
My favorite thing in this game was hunting near Nile. It was so immersive
This whole era of ubisoft was fantastic. Games like ac origins, farcry 5, south park fractured but whole, and watch dogs 2 were Literally amazing. Idk what happened to them but they completely bottomed out with there new game's
This is funny because for a lot of people this was the era where they started to bottom out.
@@bruhtholemew I personally think they bottomed out right after the games I just listed
@@JohnGaceyagree these games was still good but they indeed started suck more and more

I think after the division 2 they bottomed our
Origins was "Shockingly" Good. Its easily one of Ubisoft's Top games ever.
absolute gem of a game. 100%ed it couple of weeks ago over 100 hrs in. Great experience
Running animation , wind physics , cloth physics, Sfx, temples of memphis alone worth playing for an eternity
Even the way how the bug noises at the end are rhythmic like the music score!
Ubi used to be a game studio.
Ubisoft truly fell off after this masterpiece. It was already on the verge of dying from 2016
Origins was amazing! Loved Bayek, loved the setting, loved the story, side quests, exploration. Everything.
That ghost rider that appears on your horse freaked me out the first time it happened
Ok that mirage on the back of the horse is fucking terrifying-
The game ia still worth playing in 2024. Even though it was released in 2017.
Origins was my first AC game. Incredible game. Wish there was more to do in it because even after 100-hours I wanted to return and play more.
Quick reminder that there are good devs working at Ubi. They just don’t usually have time or motivation to make good games with the usual milking of the franchises

Haha love how you clipped the hallucination trophy stuff. This game is a masterpiece, and I just finished story again and going to play DLC. Not buying anymore Ubisoft games sadly….unless they went back to the old staff.
When Ubisoft cared😢
The last game Ubisoft took care in making.
Picked up Origins and played until 5:30 the next morning. Amazing that they were able to go from this gem to Outlaws in only 7 years.
One of my favorites games of all time. Awesome story, good gameplay and many hours spent. For me it was a pleause to check every question mark on the map and ending this game in 100%.
This was developed when they were able to hire people based on skills, instead of gender or colour.
@@marciodasilva6920 bruh ubishit is probably the least diverse "AAA" video game out there. It's just a bunch of employees acting like they care about diversity

@@Alolan.Vulpix.Getting.Railed nah I've seen that shit too. It's probably their only diverse hires. Kinda like how fraternities and sororities always have a few diverse members on their insta pages to show they care, but in reality...
Except the Montreal studio, Ubisoft is not diverse.
For me Assassin's Creed finished with III, but for me Origins is like the last good AC game that felt genuine. It was cool.
I wish Ubisoft never fired Patrice Desilet, let him finish his vision, and then get rid of present story and tell stories of other interesting assassins across history and globe without repercuting the main lore. It's a cashgrab, but atleast it's made with thought. Instead of just "oh, wait a minute so you can be anyone, in anywhere in anytime? This is amazing! Get rid of him!"
Or even make a spin-off series that doesn't involve Assassins, Templars or any conspiracy isu or anything (not necessary), and just be about other characters in history.
Pretty amazing game they made, really beautiful map with a great story and protagonist. I just didn’t like the combat and the fact that if a enemy was a bit too high level of and I tried to jump on there head to assassinate them, it would do like 10 damage and they’d just push me off. Kinda takes away from the whole assassin thing when you can’t assassinate… Still haven’t finished the game because of it tbh, but still a pretty damn good game
you have to increase damage with points. And you can’t cause too much damage to enemies that are above 3 level

This video is like those "Horizon has some of the best boss fights" posts where the clip is just the protagonist circling around a slow moving enemy.
What? This is just showing that Ubisoft cared enough to add a mechanic where you can hallucinate if you get heatstroke.

Just started replaying. There is genuinely magical about this game, and it's one of my favorites of all time, and I've play alot of games lol. Underrated gem,
Odyssey and Valhalla were reskins of origins but neither of them managed to capture the same atmosphere of this game, it was truly magical
This was the best they could ever do, its been downhill afterwards😂
I knew things were going downhill of the IP when the studio was to lazy to make a Male ending of Eivor.
Don’t give the player choice, if it doesn’t affect the actual game, male Eivor should have been canon.

Ashraf Ismail, former director of Assassin's Creed Origins and *Assassin's Creed Valhalla*, faced accusations in 2020 related to inappropriate personal conduct, including claims that he misled women about his marital status. While Ubisoft launched an internal investigation and ultimately dismissed Ismail from the company, these allegations were never brought to court, and no legal charges were filed against him. As a result, although his actions led to his departure from Ubisoft, Ismail was never formally convicted or found guilty in a legal proceeding.
@@CamtrackIncorrect. As far as I remember, he used his position in the company to hook up with his female fans on top of lying about his marital status. That was a mistake on his part, not because he hooked up with them, but because he used his position to hook up with them. Had he hooked up without doing that, I don't think it would have been a problem, as long as the other side agrees.
@@p-k98 If it was a mistake that would cost him his marriage, nothing more.
@@CamtrackAgain, you didn't read my comment properly. Yes, normally it would be just like you said, however that is only if he hadn't used his position in Ubisoft to do those personal things. A person's personal things (hook ups and all..) should be kept separate from your job and out of the business after all.
@@p-k98 When you said incorrect, which was incorrect, don't make a statement that has nothing to do with it.
@@CamtrackI didn't make up any statement. I have been saying the fact as it is from the start. If you don't want to hear it, that's completely fine.
I don't know, Never got through 10 minutes of this game, I Stopped when it said I couldn't do a higher level mission because my level was too low, but I did it anyway and it was the most mundane thing I've ever done.
@@theInfra-Recon yeeeeaah. The worst thing about the newer games until Mirage. I used trainers to max my level and then set the game to scale up enemies to me so that the levels was the same across the game. Made it Waaaaaaay more enjoyable
@@KIRKMODS ye i did the same with both origins and oddysey, its much more enjoyable when everyone is the same lvl and you can go anywhere you want...
Fully understand this but trust me once you get past this concept its one of the most amazing games
@@KIRKMODS trainers?
@@KIRKMODS Huh? There's no such option on Odyssey to scale enemies up to you. They're either higher than you based on their initial location or scaled to your level. You can set their levels to be higher, but you literally can't scale them up to you.
Origins is amazing
I have never seen a desert so good looking in a videogame omg
AC Origins, along with its two DLCs, was just pure peak
The last good ubisoft game
Now everyone loves it of course. When it was released everyone hated it. No wonder developers don't know what to do anymore.
Outstanding game but this game didn't receive the attention it deserves.The fans let it down
@RadioHead-s7nI never understood the micro transactions bs. Just because you're mentally too weak to not consume, doesnt mean its an issue.
I never bought anything for Origins and finished the entire game easily.
@RadioHead-s7n Yeah bro I was forced to do none of that and nor who you. You're making up your own problem here.
@RadioHead-s7n Bro, games are so not important to me so 'fanboying ubisoft' or any gaming company is something I would never, ever care about.
If I wouldnt like it I wouldnt complain. I would just play another game because games are supposed to be fun. Don't project your importance of games in your life onto me.
Oh and Origins didnt take me even remotely close to 100+ hours and again I had to buy NOTHING to play it and I replayed the game only a month ago.
Do I think micro transactions should be illegal? Yes I do. However you're just not going to act like anyone forces you to ESPECIALLY in AC Origins in which you werent forced even one bit to do so.
If you'd say a game like NBA2K? Yeah the micro transactions for you just to keep up with the rest is wild, but AC games????? Nahhhhhh. Anyone that spends extra cash on AC, thats on them.
@RadioHead-s7n There is nothing mature about not gaming or gaming. I just said they aren't important to me since it's a game. It's not a survival necessity and not the only means of entertainment.
And I'm also not 'defending' anything. I just said your complaints don't make sense to me even giving an example that I would be willing to understand if it were about games that actually abuse micro transactions, but you know what I did when NBA2K started with those?
I stopped playing the game. It's really not that hard. AC clearly doesnt even come close to actual micro transaction games. You arent forced in any form of way in AC to actually do micro transaction no matter how much you keep repeating it. It's simply untrue.
You not liking the RPG style? Fair enough but that doesnt mean the game became 'less good' because that simply depends on preference. Some people don't like RPG's some dont like MMORPG's etc.
Point being, just play another game. A game is SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. If its not fun to you to the degree that you start to complain, it's time to skip it in.
You honestly cant say I'm not making sense saying this.
@RadioHead-s7n I played through the whole game. It was in fact NOT super grindy. You didn't have to grind anything at all. Just progressing normally and doing the missions that are fit for your level as you go is viable. The boosters are there for people who want to basically complete the game asap. Doing side missions, a bit of hunting, races, ring fights are all super fun. Also the world was amazing to explore. You can go into many pyramids and tombs to find stuff. They even have events to have huge field bosses where you fight gods called the Trial of Gods.
The rpg system is not everyone's cup of tea. But at that point AC needed a soft reboot. The franchise has been going downhill for a while and became stale. Every game was feeling the same. You get the same 500 collectibles clogging your map bs. Same combat system, stealth system. The change was much needed. And it kinda worked. Odessey and Valhalla sold extremely well.
I knew I wasn’t crazy when walking in the deserts🤣🤣
I didn't like that I couldn't sneak on someome to kill him from behind with one blow if the enemy's level was higher than mine. Like come on, I'm an assassin, I'm not suppose to be stronger but patient, astute and quiet!
this is def one of my fav AC
Why are pretending like ac origins was received positively,, it's only now we appreciate past games.. 😅
Triste game is boring
good game
For a second there, I thought it was another one of Ubisoft's typical glitches being found in another open world game before realizing... Oh, they actually put in the detail of the main character experiencing hallucinations from heat stroke. You won't see something like this type of attention to detail anymore.
Origins is by far, the best of the post-2015 games in my opinion. Exploring the world of this game was one the most memorable open-world experiences I’ve ever had.
