AC: Japan is ghost of tsushima. except it's actually a great game. it's basically everything that valhalla isn't.So now we need AC:Rome and AC:Japan. Because that’s what people actually want, look for 2-3 more settings nobody wants before they finally listen. Next entry is likely AC:goatfucker
I doubt the vast majority of people that played odyssey did that, and I doubt that is the optimal path.See, getting a set in early Odyssey and just upgrading it till the end of the game seems a fault in the loot system. I mean I'm not saying you should be forced into upgrades you dont want, but the gear that drops should entice to into changing what you're using.
That's something I was hoping they would continue to iterate on instead of dropping it alltogether
in certain cases, i'm sure that's what plenty of people did. i wasn't quite THAT extreme, but i found myself returning to the same gear and just upgrading that, despite trying out new drops here and there.I doubt the vast majority of people that played odyssey did that, and I doubt that is the optimal path.
As far as optimal path in Odyssey goes, Pirate Set was the best if you didn't want to farm epics or buy Helix (for the Lion set) so a case could definitely be made for upgrading it exclusively from the moment you got the full set, and I think a lot of people probably did just that. Combination of early access to the set, guides all over the interwebs telling them to use it, and even if you didn't look at guides it was obviously stronger than anything else. It didn't even come close to what you could do with a perfect set of epics though (Lion set was much closer). The shitty part was that "farming" epics in Odyssey really meant save-scumming at a spot with two vendors until you got the exact rolls you need.I doubt the vast majority of people that played odyssey did that, and I doubt that is the optimal path.
Yea. Someone linked some article pointing that out. Its comparable to "White Washing" Vikings or something. I honestly just think it was just a lack of development time.my head canon for that is that all the english peasants just accept being raided by vikings as a way of life. don't fight back, just sit there politely while you lose your days work.
Damn. I was looking forward to this, but its sounding like it was a flop. Assassins Creed has been one of the best game franchises over the last decade. AC1 was an amazing game. The freedom of being able to climb on all of the world structures was unbelievable, the lethality of the encounters, I loved how you could quickly dispatch opponents but also felt dangerous due to the escape mechanic. AC2 was even better, having improved the game in every way. Some of the deepest lore content, incredible world building and attention to detail, was truly a AAA title.
Then they fucked up with AC3. Black Flag was refreshing, and then there was a torrent of different offerings across all kinds of different time periods and settings. The France one was OK, but overall the fanbase got bored until origins. odyssey was maybe the best AC since 2, but now this. Where do they go from here?
