I don’t know nothing about the game, just that it’s set in Egypt, so what are your opinions?
I don’t know, I refuse to play Ubisoft games.
Okay, I agree with the sentiment and all, but don’t you think that your comment is a little petty when you are not contributing to OP’s question and instead hijack the post to push an agenda?
Yeah maybe it was petty but I don’t think it was unwarranted. Every other comment so far was an exact clone of “It’s alright” so I figured I’d add a unique perspective to the conversation.
I will never be guilt tripped into speaking out against a company who engages in shitty practices, but nice try.
My man, this isn’t shaming. It’s someone politely pointing out that the entire world isn’t your personal soap box.
Want to speak out about how shit Ubisoft is? Go make your own thread. I’m being serious, Lemmy is overdue for some name and shame of horrendous game companies, and it’d be good to have some sort of megathread documenting their bullshittery here on the fediverse.
This also doesn’t really offer a different perspective on whether the game is enjoyable or not. Your justified distaste for Ubisoft is an entirely different topic to the question asked.
Nope. Full of repetitive busywork, unnecessary shoehorned RPG mechanics, and completely forgettable writing/story/voice acting.
I hate stealth games and didn’t like the AC series until Origins started the “Witcher 3 wannabe” style of AC games. All 3 of the ones released so far (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla) have been like crack for me - I can’t stop playing them until I’ve been to every icon on the map. If you like open world action RPGs and Ancient Egypt, you’ll probably like it. If you prefer stealth like the older AC games, though, you might not.
I found it very relaxing and enjoyable. Excellent escapism. I don’t particularly care for the RPG mechanics but I put up with them for the rest of the experience.
Haven’t played Origins, but I’ve spent a lot of time with Odyssey which has my highest recommendation.
From a friend who’s opinion I trust, I’ve been told Origins is the less fleshed out version of Odyssey. He says that Origins started Assassin’s Creed on a new RPG focused track that really just worked for Origins and Odyssey (he claims they biffed Valhalla).
