Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I'm, somewhat surprised there wasn't an official thread for this but parts & pieces from E3 and other threads despite right around the corner from release...October 5, 2018. The month was already crowded with the highly anticipated Red Dead Redemption II along with COD and Battlefield V which bumped to following month. Shame the game seems to be forecast to come behind the other which might be due to AC Fatigue with the still popular Origins from last year along with other games everyone has in their own backlog. But for those interested, links, trailer and info is below.

They also announced that there will be no new Assassin's Creed game next year, so it's nice to see them taking a break again. I guess that also means we'll probably see Watch Dogs 3 next year in it's place.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I wonder if the Remastered 3 will come with the King Washington DLC, that would be really cool.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Can't believe that the $99.99 Gold Edition isn't even the complete edition as there will be an Ultimate Edition for $119.99 with some extra stuff that the Gold Edition lacks. That feels too greedy to me.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Yeah, Ubisoft is the worst publisher out there with all their different editions, fleecing fans.

And why a re-master of AC3? That one's widely considered the worst AC! Gimme a re-master of the Enzio trilogy!

At least that makes up my mind as to which version I'll get - that is, assuming the reviews are decent.
Reviews should be trickling in by now, no?

If Odyssey is even half as great as Origins, I'm all over it!
(though I'll be bummed if there's a ton of ship combat - I was never a big fan of that - I'm more into the the exploring/discovery aspects of these games)

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Okay.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Yeah, but is it a re-master that's only $20 extra? The cheapest I see is $26, and it hasn't been remastered.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

It is a remaster. One with issues, but still a remastered title.

I got it for $19.99 last year on sale.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Okay, fine. Still, AC3 was the low point of the series, IMO.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Which character are you guys gonna play as?



Pretty sure I'll be playing Kassandra - besides the fact that, when given a choice, I almost always play a female character, I think her voice acting is far better than the male.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Acting comparisons for the same scene...

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Alexios looks like Jeff Spicoli went straight from the audition to the mo-cap studio.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Yeah, she sounds way better.

I will probably do what I did last year. I again have a lot of discounted Microsoft spacebucks. I will wait until the Black Friday Sale and then by the Gold Edition at a discount. Last year I got AC Origins GOLD for $69.99 on 11/18/17. Totally worth waiting a month for a deal like that.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I know i started the thread and really hope I do end up getting the game...but being pressure to get Red Dead and in for Fallout 76. I wanted Origins really bad just for the historical view but with this even more so. I'm a sucker for both Guns & Sword stuff but given the choice the "Old Ways" of Sword, Bow & Spear are my choice. I'll see if anyhting creeps up between now and release but I'm with Decker, might wait and see if this pops up on sale come Black Friday...while playing Fallout 76.....

Hard choice on the characters but I'd lean to Kassandra...attractive but won't take crap from anyone.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Yeah, even if I get it on release date, I won't be able to play it for at least a few weeks, and that's not to mention the backlog of games I already have.

I swear, nothing over the summer, then boom, all these games, all at once. Not cool, game industry, not cool at all - don't they realize these unbalanced release schedules lobotomizes their own sales?

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Major Spoiler Alert !!!!

This video is the end game "Medussa Mission and Boss Fight"...near Level 50. It is the complete part and walk thru. It sounds like this is a optional mission. It does show off various parts of the game , fighting, loot, ship, NP conversations, assassination.....shows the Boss Battle which starts at the 29 Minute Mark. Up to that point, it's various parts to do before you confront Medussa.

Ooh, cool, a fully customizable HUD...

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Tons of solid reviews coming in!

I was hoping for "as good as Origins", but the consensus seems to be that it's actually BETTER than Origins! So stoked!!!
Now if I only had the time to play it... :sad:

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Just pre-ordered this game because of the reviews. Was going to hold off for a bit but I was not able to win out. With the sizes of this game and the forthcoming RDR2, along with a nearly full 2tb external hdd, I also put in an order for a 4tb hdd. I guess I will spend a week copying files between the two.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I still haven't finished Origins, let alone all the Origins DLC I own! :lol:

Google is testing being able to stream this over Chrome.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I loved the last game and this looks amazing..but with it coming out on Friday, I just will not have time to finish it up 100% (and I will want to do that) before Red Dead comes out.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Because Origins was so great, I'm looking more forward to this than RDR2. I liked the last RDR fine, but I didn't love it or anything, and found a lot of it a little boring. It's fine and all, but I honestly don't understand the level of praise it gets.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

While I loved Red dead 1...I do agree with the rest of your post and decided to order Odyssey for this Friday..

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

If I really didn’t get into series, but have until 3, would I be swayed by this?

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I think the better argument is that Odyssey will be down to $30 by the time people are wrapping up RDR2 :)

I'll probably pick it up sometime next year since there won't be an AC game coming out.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Honestly this looks very similar to Origins. That one is great and I am sure this will be as well. But Origins is probably really cheap and there's really no reason not to try that one first and then move to this one next if you liked it. It will drop in price like a stone - they always do.
If you do get Origins OB, send me a PM and you can have my extra copy of the digital Prima game guide.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I picked up Oddes...oddessy....od...

I picked up the newest Assassins Creed game today. If it's half as good as Origins was, well.....

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Digital copy for slightly cheap : New Egg is selling a digital code for an Xbox copy for $53.99.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Thanks Deck. I will let you know. Ideally I’d like the digital of Origins, but that hasn’t gone down in price as of yet. Still finishing Borderlands 2 and they will probably tie me up till RDR2, but we’ll see...

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I'm pretty sure most AC games go on sale for Black Friday

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

eh, fuck it. i bought the SE. looks amazing!

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

I decided to hold off on this game even though I loved Origins. I'm currently busy with Spider-Man and with RDR2 coming up later this month, I'll wait until I see it on sale.

It looks fantastic though...

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

anyone get into this yet? how does it play? how does it look?

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

It’s way better than Origins. The combat is different though. From what I remember.

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

how so? how does it look? play, loose and fast?

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

is it still about stealth and you know, assassinations? bc from the review footage i've been seeing seems like a lot of melee combat and didn't think series was known for that...

Re: Assassins Creed: Odyssey - 10/05/2018
 

Didn't you already buy it digitally? Go play it.
