Yeah but there's an inherent difference between the joys of cheering and subbing on twitch, and the fact that ubisoft literally offers a way to pay to only play the main campaign quests. What kind of a game offers a way to beat the SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN through paying more money.
Mr.Pat I know this is a joke but the whole point of the odyssey is that Odysseus had to go an extra 10 years at sea because he didn't pay a cow to Poseidon
Yeah one hit kill won't be fun anymore, get some mod or trainer which allows you to one shot everyone then play Origins or Odyssey, all the fun would be gone.
@Bruh Bruh Level up, do bounties & contracts, get better. Either you're just bad or you cant do a few side quests even tho you can beat enemies a few levels above you. (mercaneries are an exception here) Also you can change scaling and difficulties to make it easier. Either git gud or change scaling and difficulty
@@pl0xie494 also it's not worth it to "git gud" when the game is seriously lacking in story and the map just feels padded. Again Oddyssey whatever it was trying to be is simply just not a fun game, not one to put in hrs into.
AC have always been bad games. Ever since the first one was a glorified "walking realistically through crowds" simulator. The stories often have potential, but they're never satisfying in the end, mostly because the writers aren't allowed to make any big interesting changes that could run the risk of affecting the next three yearly fucking sequels.
Ubisoft formula for a game: Generate Huge Map (make it as huge as possible), Put repeat activities (repetitiveness is off the charts), Put a hierarchy system where player has to kill certain uninteresting characters to get to the main boss, Checkpoint on maps (Ohh!! we love checkpoints), Rinse and Repeat.
Did Ubisoft made huge maps for AC games until Origins and Odyssey(excl. AC BF) tho?I remember that most of them being so small but stories were honestly better in older games.
@@AFT_05G . what's the point here? I honestly see more gameplay and story in Ubisoft's Games than any . You should know how AC series deals with uncovering the secrets from the first Civilization , each game revealing something different about them. You also know that Juno escaped in AC 3 is now trying to look for a body that suits her. The way FC3, WD 2 referenced to the AC series proves that all Ubisoft games are interconnected . Now even WD legion has included a playable Assassin in the game. Ubisoft's story is much more thought out than whatever I have seen yet.
The main issue with MTs in Single player is that the same things they do to give incentives to buy the MTs dilute the gaming experience whether for those everyone whether you buy them or not. Even if you found it alright, it would have been a better game without the MTs changing the ingame progression with a priority on profit instead of... you know, a fun fucking game experience
I went into a guys tent late at night when he was sleeping and I leaned over his vulnerable completely defenseless body and plunged my knife deep into his uncovered throat. Unfortunately I only did 6785 damage, so he woke up and shouted for help and alerted the rest of the camp to my presence.
CezaMVO I must concur with this statement. You all know the most fearsome enemy in Zelda games? The cuccoos? What do they all have that makes them so powerful? Oh that’s right, they’re all covered with FEATHERS
If you have to remember about hating something, you clearly don't actually hate it. Also, dunkey's videos are compilations of bugs found online. And he doesn't even have valid arguments, he just says "game bad Ubisoft bad agree pls I need views". Odyssey is a good game, everyone who played it agrees. People who don't, didn't play it
@@enlightenmentdoesntcomeeas5337 yeah sure, they didn't overhaul the progression, gear and combat system.

I'm just years behind on games cause I was far too busy, picking up AAA titles for £10 has been great. Plus it helps me to avoid games that turn out awful.
I think the thing that frustrated me the most was that this is easily one of the most beautiful open world's I've ever seen in a game. It is so amazingly detailed and rendered and I wanted to explore every place I could, but the game itself just sucked and made it all a chore. I would kill to see this exact map used on game that had nothing to do with Assassin's Creed. Also give me a fucking shield, god damn it!
Ubisoft wants you to spend real money on in-game experience so that you don't have to play the game you just bought for 60 dollars. Rofl. This sentence should be printed on the front cover of the game.
Yes whit flying heads and horse who wont come near you :D (i still like witcher tho) in witcher after playing it ones i got rly bored hearing 4 voice actors in every single side mission. Still played that game 3 times 100% :D But this game is not grindy and in my 80 hours of gameplay i have not seen bugs like i did see in witcher 3.
What you are saying is basically that ubisoft might not succeed in that, that doesn't change the fact that they will really love that. If you think about older single player games, you could just cheat by finding codes around or online, basically this is paying them for "cheating" for no real reasons whatsoever, lol.
I think it is better that people pay devs in sp games then cheating. That way they are supporting people who are making these games and giving us several hours fun :)
To those people who say, "you don't have to pay, just play the game" - companies intentionally make their games to be a chore so you would be willing to pay money to skip the chores. Back in the day, once you bought the game, developers tried their best to make perfect balance in time, difficulty and satisfaction so you would enjoy the play through as much as you can, which would act as encouragement to spread the word about the game and make others buy it. Nowadays, they intentionally make it a chore so you would want to buy the skips because this worked so well in mobile gaming. Now they're doing the same in mainstream AAA PC/console games. Modern AAA games (at least those like Asscreed) are just mobile games with better graphics and bigger worlds. Let that shit sink in.
I finished this game, was never bored and had not once felt any need to skip anything or buy microtransactions. The game is perfectly fine the way it is. The microtransactions are mostly for cosmetic shit or to break the game balance for those who don't like a challenge. I'd compare it to Deus Ex Mankind Divided, where the entire game was made with the balance around what already exists in the game and then they were forced to put in micro-transactions for Praxis Kits which made you completely overpowered right away. I know that is an issue in itself, but at least you don't need to buy anything to have fun. If you see the game in a sale, there is no reason not to buy it. This is probably the best AssCreed game since Black Flag.
@@PokemonDude880 I mean you are a mercenary who's supposed to kill people for money. That's like saying "Mario is basically jump until you reach the end of the level" or "cod is just shooting the same 50 guys until you reach the end of the game." You're summing up a part of the game in the simplest, most mundane way possible.
@@yoursonisold8743 yeah i couldn't agree more. Most people these days don't want to work to get levels and the way dunkey reviewed the exp system was a bit unfair. Completing forts and side quests gives you a surplus of exp. Forts go between 5000-9000 and side quests could go for 5000-19000. It's not that hard to level up and the forts also reward you with items as a well as the fact you get items from weapon racks and dead soldiers. You earn exp for basically doing anything in the game too. The exp micro transactions are for people who want to do the "cool" side quests that are guarded by being a certain level (like the recommended level to fight the giant ogre holding the artifact is 35 and you're like 31. It's actually not blocked but it's just hard) the thing is, you can still do the mission, it would just be harder because the boss or people you're fighting are levels above you. Ubisoft didnt make the game grindy. This isn't the normal assassins creed game you're used to playing where you don't level up and things come as fast as they go. It's an rpg unlike other assassins creed games.
Joshua Torres but mario atleast has a story in it which is save the princess. This game important things like meeting ur real dad and killing the BAD GUYS r optional
I really love the comments that go on in Dunkey's assassin's creed comment sections. There are a lot of people who get really worked up and defensive. It's just a game and whether you agree with him or not is up to you. It's alright to like something even if everyone else is telling you its awful
@@wowwow-xp9sk wow man why do you think that,it should not really matter if you watch shows with real people in them or animated, it all boils down to ur preference, nobody can tell u what to like. I love anime,😢
Finn Diggle i wish every open world game would be like breath of the wild. No hand holding, no restrictions, actual feel of accomplishment when you discover something.
Remember that tailing mission? When you’re inside the great hyrule forest and you have to tail that little Korok? Yeah that was a bout at fun as an Assassins Creed tailing mission
Idk why they couldn't just stick with what they had in brotherhood. Interesting weapons Deep lore Badass fight mechanic And it *really made you feel like assassins brother : creed*
Because this brings more money brother. This brings more money. And if there's something every company loves more than anything, especially their customers, it's money.
Because people would have wanted something new. New gameplay new weapon variety. There can only be so many swords. Holding one button to wait for a counter got old really fast. After AC3 lore kinda took a shit so I'll give you that but Assassins Creed what it was a few years ago if it came out wouldn't last that long. Things change buddy.
Kezsora Yeah sometimes the gameplay isn't affected but its just little annoying things like the far cry 5 "silver bars", shouldn't be a micro transaction currency in a 60$ game, 5 years or so ago that was usually only on free mobile games.
Keiler Oh absolutely but that wasn’t his argument. He wanted to go back to AC:B. If it was micro transactions I would agree with him 100% but since it’s not, there’s some disputes.
Meh, maybe... i just played AC: Origins for 1€ without the DLCs and it was okayish. 8.5/10 as a game itself but barely 6/10 for being an AC. Especially if you don't have the Hidden Ones DLC the ending kinda sucks.
Because it isn’t PVP and also time savers are most definitely not necessary. Also I love Dunkey but he is super biased in his reviews. It’s almost like a meme to shit on this franchise.
I would take an escort mission over a trailing mission any day. At least there's some actual gameplay and obstacles to enjoy. Trailing missions just reminds you that you're completely wasting your life.
I genuinely enjoyed this game. Playing Kassandra was solid and fun for me. Still, all your criticisms are valid and I think coming to it a year after release might have helped.

We've been seeing this trend since last year at least. Monetization is taking priority over good game design to the point where games are designed deliberately badly to boost monetization.

Fallout fantasy 7 is like sooooooo overrated! Like god! UGH!! Cloudius is just dumb and the main villian, the two winged demon is only the bad guy cause he killed that one chick that the main character likes. Fallout fantasy 6 is way better.
The feather in origins represents the myth in Egyptian mythology where Anubis weighs the soul of the dead against the weight of a single feather, and if your soul is found to be too heavy, you aren’t granted eternal peace. So it does make sense, lol because the little cut scenes in the games after the assassins killed someone never made much sense to me anyway, but… this just explains the feather.
@@nemofish3504 That’s not what he said though. He mentioned that killing people with a feather is pretty weak and anticlimactic. He had the same issue with the other AC games. Where you would cradle the person you just killed and whisper, “ rest in piece in their ear.” It’s not about the mythology, it’s about the impact.
@@newvidahall he ISN"T killing people with the feather??? it's literally a scene where the assassin talks to the victim. it's changed over time. and he obviously knows that too,. What I'm SAYING and explaining is why the feather is there in the first place. It's Bayak symbolizing what will happen to his victims in their death, that they've been weighed and measured. And that is pretty impactful. I don't... get what you're not understanding? I don't actually think these sequences ever actually happen, because when you kill them, they're dead. They don't... stay upright and keep talking, lol. It's just a cutscene.
This reminds me of the the time LukaCola reminded me of the time Arman Nustray reminded me of the time when people would say this reminds me of the time when people would say this reminds me of that time Dunkey beat Sky in Smash.
I would prefer Old Assassin's Creed gameplay over the one hundred stabs to kill the Odyssey asks of the player. Unless you A: Find good equipment (Or just Helix store it) B: Specialize into Hunter and trivialize the entire game (Which varies depending on.... You guessed it, your goddamn equipment). The worst part about Odyssey is that it's a really easy game when you aren't being out-leveled, and higher leveled enemies are only difficult because you tend to get swarmed, which increases the likelihood of taking a hit, and those hits eat all of your health. Compound that with enemy health not going down fast, and you also remove a win condition of thinning enemy numbers to focus on single targets and simply outlasting them. This game enforces how it wants you to play it, and you both barely get rewarded, as well as get severely punished for trying to push against what it wants. At least Old Assassin's Creed was honest about being easy, this game is just deceitfully easy.

I picked this game up in winter 2020, and I'm a sucker for these giant historical open-worlds so normally I'm able to overlook the grindyness and repretiveness of this series, but for some reason I wasn't able to bring myself to finish it. I had just marathoned through Unity, Syndicate and Origins so I thought maybe it was just series fatigue. Decided to give it another go a few weeks ago, and feeling the same fatigue again. This game starts out with a sense of narrative and then completely biffs it once you start dealing with the cult. There is little sense of needing to go anywhere or do anything in particular, so your "odyssey" ends up just being an endless repetition of set-pieces where you get to an area, do a handful of quests, maybe unlock some info on a cultist and kill them, maybe culminate in a zone battle, rinse, repeat. The expansion content actually makes this worse. There are three or four different colors of quests clogging up my list, and all of them seem to be competing for my attention. What's more important, an orange expansion quest or a gold story quest? Does it make more sense to do "lost tales of greece" in order I encounter them, or plough through the story to a certain point first? Why would anyone ever go to Lokris? If I decide to go to an expansion mission, will it break the storyline of the main quests or spoil anything that I've not seen yet? Nothing seems any more or less important than anything else. I know the "Odyssey" plot of finding your family is supposed to be central, but it didn't really feel that way (especially since at that point I'd unlocked Barnabas' personal "lost tale" which meant that his quest icon was crowding over the icon to quick travel to my ship, and every time I tried to resume command of the ship during naval encounters with multiple boardings, there was a strong possibility of the context prompt to ask him about the quest overlapping the one to command the ship, leading to constant interruptions in the action). Normally I don't consider content bloat to be a problem; I like getting more to do out of a game. But this might be the one that finally breaks me. Sitting down to try to progress feels increasingly like work. The gear system is grindy in a way that confuses me, because I would assume the grind would be intended to push people into the cash store, but the cash store doesn't actually offer anything substantial to resolve the upgrading problem. Just to explain it briefly: every piece of gear you get can be upgraded at vendors to remain viable as you progress. From a fairly early point in the game, you'll end up with a bunch of legendary gear you'll likely want to maintain rather than replace. This takes resources, which you can get from various activities, as well as from breaking down gear. Early on, it felt like I was constantly coming up short in resources, yet the store only sells resource "packs" which give you fairly trifling amounts of each resource. By higher levels, even the most expensive resource pack wouldn't give you enough to upgrade a single piece, so it seems very unlikely to me that even the dumbest most shill-happy player would ever rely on the store to circumvent the gear upgrading grind. In the end, I just ended up raising my wanted level and killing waves of mercenaries until my "mercenary rank" was high enough to give me a 50% upgrading discount. This whole system was just bafflingly tedious and didn't even seem to be intelligently designed in a way that would encourage players to spend cash; it seems like the only goal of it was to waste my time. Another big problem with the inventory; each weapon/armor type can only be looked at by clicking the paperdoll slot which brings up a list of that type specifically, and you have to hold the interact key down to disassemble or sell, so every trip to the store has its length needlessly padded by all this menu opening and button-holding. I was pretty excited when I tried Origins because despite its flaws, the game seemed to be taking the series in an interesting new direction, away from the endless rinse-repeat gameplay of previous iterations and into a more ARPG direction. But it seems like they've really just replaced one rinse-repeat with another. I often found myself pining for earlier games which at least let you feel like an actual assassin rather than Grindy McSperience man. For most of the series you got no reward for randomly killing soldiers so getting caught out in the open in big battles was basically a fail-state; now it's an encouraged playstyle with its own accompanying skill tree. The stealth system feels scaled back to quasi-irrelevance, unless you shovel RPG progress-tokens into the assassin skill tree at which point it becomes trivialized. Forget about hiding the bodies of people you kill; just grab this handy skill that makes people you assassinate instantly disappear. Forget about the cool crowd blending and environmental blending of earlier games; Just hit a button to become invisible! And now there's also a ranged chainable assassination move so you can throw "stealth" out completely in most situations and just do an anime combo to kill up to four separate enemies instantly. I could go on but basically I think Dunkey was right. And on the comment I've seen a few people make that the game is less buggy than in his review: I've seen most of the bugs he documented in the course of this playthrough, including "not dead" enemies, endless bad interactions between character model and terrain, weird glitches in stealth detection where enemies will suddenly see me when hidden, unselectable items, bases not spawning key items that are required in order to clear them, etc. Combat still feels clunky and unresponsive; everything seems tied up in a hidden "turn order" that leads to hotketyed abilities not triggering unless you hammer the button like a pissed off chimpanzee and hope the enemies don't just combo you into the ground while the engine ignores your inputs. I would say it's still very rough and nowhere near as "patched" as other commenters are implying.
Thank you for this man. I was really debating whether or not i should buy the game bc some people have commented on reviews saying that it has improved just over a year after release and I haven't played an AC game since black flag. Perhaps subconsciously I was trying ignore all the other comments agreeing with Dunkey's verdict but your take on the game really brought me back to my senses.
As a huge fan of this game, I really feel your point about the dlc quests being a huge pest, everything else in this comment I disagree with but the reasons behind them are perfectly understandable. You are confused about the gear grind, overabundance of chests and drops in the world is supposed to encourage you to make the choice between your comfortable legendary gear and trying out new pieces that alter your build and thus may add some variety, upgrading gear too often you can't keep up is discouraged even by the mechanic that only the last 5 levels will contribute to the cost of upgrading gear, in fact epic gear is actually better than legendary half the time. don't know what you meant about the warrior skill tree being out of place for ac either, brute force mass murdering everyone has been a thing since ac 1. It's an rpg build making game so of course the tree you spec into is going to give you huge rewards, with the lore of AC it also makes perfect sense why a piece of Eden would give you so much power to steamroll stealth. I'll never understand how people can find going invisible and all the wacky shit you can do in this game not extremely fun. For me it counter balances the grind but the length of this game is definitely an issue that will continue to disparage us as long as this game gets bought new. Even though I love the game at the end of the 160 hour run to the dlc I was getting tired. The length is 100% an issue.

Can't believe how many people here are actually on Ubisoft's side with putting microtransactions in their single player game. It's not pay to win, but still incredibly, transparently scummy.
I know! They even called them "time savers?" like what? Isn't that kind of admitting "hey our game sucks so pay us more money to get through it? Didn't I already pay $60? Shouldn't I WANT to play through it? embarrassing.
@@mdpolston Then why even put them in the game. You're missing the point. Ubisoft is very money hungry and any opportunity they'll put microtransactions in their games even if they aren't useful at all. But, in cases where they're, Ubisoft purposefully impedes the players experience making them want to just throw more money on top of their $60 game.

@@JonathanMarshallbonez I never said anything about the quality of the game. That's a matter of opinion and I personally haven't played it so I dont know. My comment is to only put emphasis on the scumminess of Ubisoft to put pointless microtransactions in their game in the first place.
Something that AAA game developers need to learn: if you try to do too many things at once, you end up not doing any of them particularly well. I don't care about a huge open world when most of it is empty except for the chore list of sidequests.

Wow Dunkey hit the same story wall 10 hours in I did that made me not want to keep playing. Even in the teens, leveling has begun to feel like a grind.

@@DiddyBohlen Unpopular opinion, AC3 had the best AC storyline. It was the only AC game that was grey as fuck. It had oodles of problems but the story ain't one, that made the game a joy to play.
odyssey’s one of my favorite assassin’s creed games. the story, the setting, the characters, even some of the side content is amazing. the progression from a mercenary to a literal demigod is extremely satisfying. the freedom and agency over your build and your play style. it’s a grind i thoroughly enjoyed. in the game, poison does damage over time, but it also weakens enemy attacks. my build was sort of a glass cannon jack of all trades kinda build. my bow, dagger, and spear were all poisonous. the spear also had a perk that would reduce my health bar 75% and in return all my weapons would do double damage. the spear and the bow were used to poison enemies from a distance, and then safely switch to the dagger and get close to finish them off. stealth is only viable if you spend points on it. it’s more of an RPG than a traditional assassin’s creed game. but what really makes an assassin’s creed game (in my opinion) is the historical setting. meeting people like Socrates, Alcibiades, Herodotus, and Pythagoras. befriending them and doing missions for them is what draws me to the game more than anything else. inserting myself into history. this game does that very well. 2 out of 5
@@worthmillions1782 nah I feel the same way too honestly. This is a really hot take but I preferred it over rdr2, cause in rdr2 the entire time you’re following this idiot who keeps making you do worse and worse shit, and for some reason you just go along with it. With odyssey it’s literally a choose your own adventure with multiple different endings, so if you don’t want to spare a character you don’t have to. Shit had me second guessing at every turn, whereas with red dead it was blatantly obvious that Micah was gonna betray everyone from the start (I didn’t even get it spoiled and I knew this).
my guy i am actually surprised that you have allocated the necessary brain space to keep the name of that garbage in your mind. I salute you, because i couldn't do that.
i played this game a year after it came out, but I LOVED it.. although i didn't experience any glitches on PC.. but actually the major landmarks were really accurate to Greece which why it was so much fun for me
I liked the game aswell any played for like 20 hours. But having to constantly do repetitive sidequests to level up and be able to continue the story. Which completely took me out of the experience
It's a sad RPG. Such a beautiful world and you can't interact with it, the people. merchants are just dispensers, there's maybe life but no soul. Take note from Witcher 3's dialogue and quests, look to fallout for environmental storytelling, God of war for fight system, MGSV for the stealth and difficulty scaling.
You obviously haven't played the game if you think the people and merchants are just dispensers. This game has literally everything The Witcher 3 has except a bit worse storytelling.

Origins was solid. It could have been a lot better but the stealth was very enjoyable and streamlined. Honestly I just want an Open world Chaos Theory.
I completely understand how you feel about this. For me, several Assassin's Creed games are good, and others are bad. My favorites are Unity, Syndicate, Origins, and Valhalla. I like Valhalla alot, but it has glitches, and rides off what Origins did. I played Unity, Syndicate, Origins late, so I got less bugs in my experiences, and really enjoyed them. I understand why someone wouldn't like them, and to be honest; they're overhyped. Everything you said about Odyessey I completely agree on. It's beautiful, but empty and tedious with it's gameplay and side quests. When you mentioned AC had tedious quests, and restrictive gameplay, I completely agree. For me, I'm fine with it, but most people would hate this. Thank you for your honest reviews on Assassin's Creed games, and it's good hearing people's opinons on the franchise

AC have always been bad games. Ever since the first one was a glorified "walking realistically through crowds" simulator.

It makes you feel like Spider-Man.
At least 3 of the games won’t be from 2018
To those people who say, "you don't have to pay, just play the game" - companies intentionally make their games to be a chore so you would be willing to pay money to skip the chores. Back in the day, once you bought the game, developers tried their best to make perfect balance in time, difficulty and satisfaction so you would enjoy the play through as much as you can, which would act as encouragement to spread the word about the game and make others buy it. Nowadays, they intentionally make it a chore so you would want to buy the skips because this worked so well in mobile gaming. Now they're doing the same in mainstream AAA PC/console games.
Modern AAA games (at least those like Asscreed) are just mobile games with better graphics and bigger worlds. Let that shit sink in.
I finished this game, was never bored and had not once felt any need to skip anything or buy microtransactions. The game is perfectly fine the way it is. The microtransactions are mostly for cosmetic shit or to break the game balance for those who don't like a challenge. I'd compare it to Deus Ex Mankind Divided, where the entire game was made with the balance around what already exists in the game and then they were forced to put in micro-transactions for Praxis Kits which made you completely overpowered right away. I know that is an issue in itself, but at least you don't need to buy anything to have fun.
If you see the game in a sale, there is no reason not to buy it. This is probably the best AssCreed game since Black Flag.

@@yoursonisold8743 yeah i couldn't agree more. Most people these days don't want to work to get levels and the way dunkey reviewed the exp system was a bit unfair. Completing forts and side quests gives you a surplus of exp. Forts go between 5000-9000 and side quests could go for 5000-19000. It's not that hard to level up and the forts also reward you with items as a well as the fact you get items from weapon racks and dead soldiers. You earn exp for basically doing anything in the game too. The exp micro transactions are for people who want to do the "cool" side quests that are guarded by being a certain level (like the recommended level to fight the giant ogre holding the artifact is 35 and you're like 31. It's actually not blocked but it's just hard) the thing is, you can still do the mission, it would just be harder because the boss or people you're fighting are levels above you. Ubisoft didnt make the game grindy. This isn't the normal assassins creed game you're used to playing where you don't level up and things come as fast as they go. It's an rpg unlike other assassins creed games.

Lmao the Description
There are some though.
Trailing missions are da bes tho.
You know what's worse than trailing missions? Escort missions.
I would take an escort mission over a trailing mission any day. At least there's some actual gameplay and obstacles to enjoy. Trailing missions just reminds you that you're completely wasting your life.
Ubisoft should add an option to pay to skip the entire game.
you can already do that for free but I'm sure they'll find a way to implement that in the next game

I genuinely enjoyed this game. Playing Kassandra was solid and fun for me. Still, all your criticisms are valid and I think coming to it a year after release might have helped.
@@god47398 odyssey is a great game 10 hours in, after that it becomes mind numbingly painful to play. and Unfortunately you cant finish the story within 10 hours, not to mention the story itself is so shit i just dropped the game.
I think i'm 6 hours into origins and i must say, for a game i got with gamepass i cannot complain. The only decent voice actor so far is the main protagonist, combat feels like wannabe dark souls, littered with meaningless fetch quests, etc.

You guys really need to start thinking more critical of something you pay money for...especially when it's a problem that shouldn't even exist in the first place.
So Ubisoft purposefully designed their side missions badly to entice people to pay real money to skip them. Nice.
Yes, thank EA for the new industry standard.
We've been seeing this trend since last year at least. Monetization is taking priority over good game design to the point where games are designed deliberately badly to boost monetization.
The skip isn't even really a skip.
It's paying money to play less of the shitty missions.

The feather in origins represents the myth in Egyptian mythology where Anubis weighs the soul of the dead against the weight of a single feather, and if your soul is found to be too heavy, you aren’t granted eternal peace. So it does make sense, lol because the little cut scenes in the games after the assassins killed someone never made much sense to me anyway, but… this just explains the feather.
I don’t think his issue stems from Egyptian mythology
@@newvidahall he was basically saying he doesn't understand the feather. I was explaining its importance
and why it was there lol
@@nemofish3504 That’s not what he said though. He mentioned that killing people with a feather is pretty weak and anticlimactic. He had the same issue with the other AC games. Where you would cradle the person you just killed and whisper, “ rest in piece in their ear.” It’s not about the mythology, it’s about the impact.
But I’m glad you appreciate the significance of the feather.
@@newvidahall he ISN"T killing people with the feather??? it's literally a scene where the assassin talks to the victim. it's changed over time. and he obviously knows that too,. What I'm SAYING and explaining is why the feather is there in the first place. It's Bayak symbolizing what will happen to his victims in their death, that they've been weighed and measured. And that is pretty impactful. I don't... get what you're not understanding? I don't actually think these sequences ever actually happen, because when you kill them, they're dead. They don't... stay upright and keep talking, lol. It's just a cutscene.

Are you telling me you didn't enjoy killing a boss by kicking him off a nearby cliff?
Would any game be fun if it required no effort from the player? That boss should have been difficult.
"Would any game be fun if it required no effort from the player?"
Well, there are people who enjoyed the old Assassin's Creed gameplay.
I would prefer Old Assassin's Creed gameplay over the one hundred stabs to kill the Odyssey asks of the player.
Unless you A: Find good equipment (Or just Helix store it)
B: Specialize into Hunter and trivialize the entire game (Which varies depending on.... You guessed it, your goddamn equipment).
The worst part about Odyssey is that it's a really easy game when you aren't being out-leveled, and higher leveled enemies are only difficult because you tend to get swarmed, which increases the likelihood of taking a hit, and those hits eat all of your health. Compound that with enemy health not going down fast, and you also remove a win condition of thinning enemy numbers to focus on single targets and simply outlasting them. This game enforces how it wants you to play it, and you both barely get rewarded, as well as get severely punished for trying to push against what it wants.
At least Old Assassin's Creed was honest about being easy, this game is just deceitfully easy.
That was the final boss.
Honestly, if I ever get this game, I'll just mod in a buttload of XP and equipment.

Might as well just name it "corporate greed" at that point.
I picked this game up in winter 2020, and I'm a sucker for these giant historical open-worlds so normally I'm able to overlook the grindyness and repretiveness of this series, but for some reason I wasn't able to bring myself to finish it. I had just marathoned through Unity, Syndicate and Origins so I thought maybe it was just series fatigue.
Decided to give it another go a few weeks ago, and feeling the same fatigue again. This game starts out with a sense of narrative and then completely biffs it once you start dealing with the cult. There is little sense of needing to go anywhere or do anything in particular, so your "odyssey" ends up just being an endless repetition of set-pieces where you get to an area, do a handful of quests, maybe unlock some info on a cultist and kill them, maybe culminate in a zone battle, rinse, repeat.
The expansion content actually makes this worse. There are three or four different colors of quests clogging up my list, and all of them seem to be competing for my attention. What's more important, an orange expansion quest or a gold story quest? Does it make more sense to do "lost tales of greece" in order I encounter them, or plough through the story to a certain point first? Why would anyone ever go to Lokris? If I decide to go to an expansion mission, will it break the storyline of the main quests or spoil anything that I've not seen yet? Nothing seems any more or less important than anything else. I know the "Odyssey" plot of finding your family is supposed to be central, but it didn't really feel that way (especially since at that point I'd unlocked Barnabas' personal "lost tale" which meant that his quest icon was crowding over the icon to quick travel to my ship, and every time I tried to resume command of the ship during naval encounters with multiple boardings, there was a strong possibility of the context prompt to ask him about the quest overlapping the one to command the ship, leading to constant interruptions in the action).
Normally I don't consider content bloat to be a problem; I like getting more to do out of a game. But this might be the one that finally breaks me. Sitting down to try to progress feels increasingly like work.
The gear system is grindy in a way that confuses me, because I would assume the grind would be intended to push people into the cash store, but the cash store doesn't actually offer anything substantial to resolve the upgrading problem. Just to explain it briefly: every piece of gear you get can be upgraded at vendors to remain viable as you progress. From a fairly early point in the game, you'll end up with a bunch of legendary gear you'll likely want to maintain rather than replace. This takes resources, which you can get from various activities, as well as from breaking down gear. Early on, it felt like I was constantly coming up short in resources, yet the store only sells resource "packs" which give you fairly trifling amounts of each resource. By higher levels, even the most expensive resource pack wouldn't give you enough to upgrade a single piece, so it seems very unlikely to me that even the dumbest most shill-happy player would ever rely on the store to circumvent the gear upgrading grind. In the end, I just ended up raising my wanted level and killing waves of mercenaries until my "mercenary rank" was high enough to give me a 50% upgrading discount. This whole system was just bafflingly tedious and didn't even seem to be intelligently designed in a way that would encourage players to spend cash; it seems like the only goal of it was to waste my time. Another big problem with the inventory; each weapon/armor type can only be looked at by clicking the paperdoll slot which brings up a list of that type specifically, and you have to hold the interact key down to disassemble or sell, so every trip to the store has its length needlessly padded by all this menu opening and button-holding.
I was pretty excited when I tried Origins because despite its flaws, the game seemed to be taking the series in an interesting new direction, away from the endless rinse-repeat gameplay of previous iterations and into a more ARPG direction. But it seems like they've really just replaced one rinse-repeat with another. I often found myself pining for earlier games which at least let you feel like an actual assassin rather than Grindy McSperience man. For most of the series you got no reward for randomly killing soldiers so getting caught out in the open in big battles was basically a fail-state; now it's an encouraged playstyle with its own accompanying skill tree. The stealth system feels scaled back to quasi-irrelevance, unless you shovel RPG progress-tokens into the assassin skill tree at which point it becomes trivialized. Forget about hiding the bodies of people you kill; just grab this handy skill that makes people you assassinate instantly disappear. Forget about the cool crowd blending and environmental blending of earlier games; Just hit a button to become invisible! And now there's also a ranged chainable assassination move so you can throw "stealth" out completely in most situations and just do an anime combo to kill up to four separate enemies instantly.
I could go on but basically I think Dunkey was right. And on the comment I've seen a few people make that the game is less buggy than in his review: I've seen most of the bugs he documented in the course of this playthrough, including "not dead" enemies, endless bad interactions between character model and terrain, weird glitches in stealth detection where enemies will suddenly see me when hidden, unselectable items, bases not spawning key items that are required in order to clear them, etc. Combat still feels clunky and unresponsive; everything seems tied up in a hidden "turn order" that leads to hotketyed abilities not triggering unless you hammer the button like a pissed off chimpanzee and hope the enemies don't just combo you into the ground while the engine ignores your inputs. I would say it's still very rough and nowhere near as "patched" as other commenters are implying.
Thank you for this man. I was really debating whether or not i should buy the game bc some people have commented on reviews saying that it has improved just over a year after release and I haven't played an AC game since black flag. Perhaps subconsciously I was trying ignore all the other comments agreeing with Dunkey's verdict but your take on the game really brought me back to my senses.
@@EduardoGarcia-jq8us im telling you right now, odessey and Valhalla are a waste of money bro
This is the most eloquent and well-put summary.
As a huge fan of this game, I really feel your point about the dlc quests being a huge pest, everything else in this comment I disagree with but the reasons behind them are perfectly understandable. You are confused about the gear grind, overabundance of chests and drops in the world is supposed to encourage you to make the choice between your comfortable legendary gear and trying out new pieces that alter your build and thus may add some variety, upgrading gear too often you can't keep up is discouraged even by the mechanic that only the last 5 levels will contribute to the cost of upgrading gear, in fact epic gear is actually better than legendary half the time. don't know what you meant about the warrior skill tree being out of place for ac either, brute force mass murdering everyone has been a thing since ac 1. It's an rpg build making game so of course the tree you spec into is going to give you huge rewards, with the lore of AC it also makes perfect sense why a piece of Eden would give you so much power to steamroll stealth. I'll never understand how people can find going invisible and all the wacky shit you can do in this game not extremely fun. For me it counter balances the grind but the length of this game is definitely an issue that will continue to disparage us as long as this game gets bought new. Even though I love the game at the end of the 160 hour run to the dlc I was getting tired. The length is 100% an issue.

@@mdpolston Then why even put them in the game. You're missing the point.

@@JonathanMarshallbonez I never said anything about the quality of the game. That's a matter of opinion and I personally haven't played it so I dont know. My comment is to only put emphasis on the scumminess of Ubisoft to put pointless microtransactions in their game in the first place.

The thing that i like about this assassin's creed game is that it really makes you feel like assassin's creed
odyssey’s one of my favorite assassin’s creed games. the story, the setting, the characters, even some of the side content is amazing. the progression from a mercenary to a literal demigod is extremely satisfying. the freedom and agency over your build and your play style. it’s a grind i thoroughly enjoyed.
in the game, poison does damage over time, but it also weakens enemy attacks. my build was sort of a glass cannon jack of all trades kinda build. my bow, dagger, and spear were all poisonous. the spear also had a perk that would reduce my health bar 75% and in return all my weapons would do double damage. the spear and the bow were used to poison enemies from a distance, and then safely switch to the dagger and get close to finish them off. stealth is only viable if you spend points on it.
it’s more of an RPG than a traditional assassin’s creed game. but what really makes an assassin’s creed game (in my opinion) is the historical setting. meeting people like Socrates, Alcibiades, Herodotus, and Pythagoras. befriending them and doing missions for them is what draws me to the game more than anything else. inserting myself into history. this game does that very well.

@@Isiauwuehrifi Gameplay is long and unsatisfying with long drawn out sections: 9/10 A little something for everyone
It was the biggest piece if shit I’ve ever played in a decade. 9.5 it has a little something for everyone
But can you kill people *WITH THE FEATHER*
Only on Knack 3
i played this game a year after it came out, but I LOVED it.. although i didn't experience any glitches on PC.. but actually the major landmarks were really accurate to Greece which why it was so much fun for me
You probably didn’t experience any bugs because you played a whole year after release.
@@Kyle-su2wq this is indeed the most plausable outcome
@@wowwow-xp9sk Lmfaoooo
I liked the game aswell any played for like 20 hours. But having to constantly do repetitive sidequests to level up and be able to continue the story. Which completely took me out of the experience
It's a sad RPG. Such a beautiful world and you can't interact with it, the people. merchants are just dispensers, there's maybe life but no soul. Take note from Witcher 3's dialogue and quests, look to fallout for environmental storytelling, God of war for fight system, MGSV for the stealth and difficulty scaling.
You obviously haven't played the game if you think the people and merchants are just dispensers. This game has literally everything The Witcher 3 has except a bit worse storytelling.
Grimah man have you ever heard about NPCs?? You pretend that all ubisoft games are trash because its cool to shit on them but this game isn't that diferent from other good open world games out there.
I think dark souls 3 is far more superior than fallout in evironmental storytelling but hey, it’s just an opinion
@@FlikkyFilms Easier to jump on the complain train than to do research lmao. Also, GoW 2018 for good combat? That shit looked and sounded good but that's about where it ends.
for honor best fight system lol
-Ubisoft makes fun of EA
-Dunkey makes fun of Ubisoft
There's always a bigger fish
Outstanding move
Turning on Subtitles shows the ending credits music is "Sonic R OST - Living In The City"
. For those wondering like me.
Came to the comments specifically to see if anyone knew the song name, you have delivered and have my thanks.
Please dunkey, make a whole edit of the “good franchise” song

You got french fires?! I want a refund now...
French fire sounds like a sex move
From the looks of it, the fries would be the only good part.
@@Dogman_35 lol
Assassin's Creed Oddysey really makes you feel like you wasted your money
but its a good game anyways. Have you seen the reviews?
Feels exactly like origins
not really since the game is good
Bro is this game grind terrible like dragon age inquisition grind type of terrible?
@@skxlter5747 At least Bayek was cool. Alexios is boring as shit and Kassandra is just a female skin of him.
Remember when dunkey said that he couldn't wait for Odyssey 2 in his Mario Odyssey review and now he just bashes everything that made its predecessor great? That's hypocrism, my man!
Hypocrisy*
H y p o c r i s m
lol at the replies that don't understand this is an intentional troll comment making a joke that this Odyssey is the sequel to Mario.
r/woooosh
Judg3m3nt Got 'em
I'm different from other people. I've been living in fear of how people will look at me for being different for years, but I'm finally ready to come out and say it, and be proud saying it: Odyssey is my favprite AC game, and I've played all of them from the start!
not only that but ubisoft snuck in a joke about EA’s response to lootboxes in this game, like they don’t do THE EXACT SAME THING!
Have you actually played the game? There aren't any lootboxes at all and the time savers aren't even that useful if you intend on actually playing the game how it's meant to be played.
@@benbuckler1617 I mean he wasn't talking about only this game, though crying out that it's not the same thing doesn't make it any less shitty. But some people get a sense of pride and accomplishment from being ok with trash, so more power to them.
*Spiderman pointing at spiderman*
Also we found it boys, "have you actually played it? " the one way to confirm, you were right
*Ben Buckler* Ah yes, the "How it's meant to be played" argument. You know, the one that argues that if you're trying to have fun with a game and you get punished for it, it's your fault, not the games lack of solidity.
"With origins, Ubisoft wanted to turn Assassin's Creed into Metal Gear Solid V. The problem is, they still haven't caught up to the technology from Meta Gear Solid 2 yet" -Dunkey
I love Dunkey
And Oddyssey tried to be like Witcher 3, only they aren't even able to create as much of a compelling, immersive world as Witcher 3 did.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 Assassins Creed Odyssey actually tried to be like God of War, bur Kratos already fucked over the Greek mythology and moved on to being a Nordic Greek Viking and Assassins Creed is trying to play catch up. Hell there's even an area in Odyssey called "Cave of Kratos".
@@ratchetexperience8379 Assasins creed odyssey actual tried to be like mario odyssey but their parkour got way worse after the first 4 games. They really failed at making me fell like a short sized italyin who uses his special hat to control peoples and creatures body for his own benefit.
No guys actually AssCrees : Odyssey is trying to be GTA 4 but they haven't caught up the technology from GTA game boy yet
Origins was solid. It could have been a lot better but the stealth was very enjoyable and streamlined. Honestly I just want an Open world Chaos Theory.
This game really makes you FEEL like Leonidas
made me feel a failed purchase and a refund
Maybe me feel suicidal.
Dead?
I completely understand how you feel about this. For me, several Assassin's Creed games are good, and others are bad. My favorites are Unity, Syndicate, Origins, and Valhalla. I like Valhalla alot, but it has glitches, and rides off what Origins did. I played Unity, Syndicate, Origins late, so I got less bugs in my experiences, and really enjoyed them. I understand why someone wouldn't like them, and to be honest; they're overhyped. Everything you said about Odyessey I completely agree on. It's beautiful, but empty and tedious with it's gameplay and side quests. When you mentioned AC had tedious quests, and restrictive gameplay, I completely agree. For me, I'm fine with it, but most people would hate this. Thank you for your honest reviews on Assassin's Creed games, and it's good hearing people's opinons on the franchise
Unity was the worst in the series and syndacite was hardly an improvement over unity
@@goosegame3857 not even close, I enjoyed unity and syndicate a lot more that AC I, that is considered as "good game", which is just really boring
