Outside of the fanbase, Odyssey is regarded not just as one of the best Assassin's Creed games but also one of the best games of the generation. Then there's the fanbase itself that acts like it's worse than Hitler.

What's more funny is that they praise Origins, even though it suffers from the exact same things that people bashed AC1 for.

lmao see this is the kind of shit I'm talking about. People begged for Assassin's Creed to shake up the formula and then when it finally does it becomes "oh how dare you call this game Assassin's Creed you just slapped the name on a new IP".

It IS an AC game. Symphony of the Night is a Castlevania game. Fallout 3 is a Fallout game. If you disagree you are just wrong.

Odyssey is the first AC game I've enjoyed even a little bit since Revelations.
Got tired of it very quickly, though. It's ridiculously repetitive.

I had a friend, he worked at gamestop and would constantly get me to buy games lol, and that was one of em.

I still have barely played it, played like 1 hour and just couldn't get into it.
I bought so many games because of him, either that I would't play, or I played with him and his wife for like 2 hours before they got bored and moved to the next game.

Miss them, but don't miss wasting so much money.

I'd consider myself part of the fanbase because I've played/beaten/completed every main AC game other than Origins, and I really, really liked Odyssey.

It certainly had flaws (the entirety of the modern day plot was hot liquid garbage), but there was a lot to enjoy about it.

Or is it more of just a great game itself but not really defining?

Assassin's Creed Odyssey has a lot of grinding to the point I didn't even bother getting the actual ending. The level gate to do missions hurt it a lot. Origins is better for this reason. Thankfully Assassin's Creed Valhalla has dropped the level gate so this means you can play what you want, when you want.

  1. Just because it's a PS4 exclusive doesn't mean it's good.
  2. Better than HZD, not as good as GoW, miles better than Spider-Man, on par (imo) with Bloodborne, MILES MILES MILES MILES better than Death Stranding.

it has pretty much nothing to do with assassins

it's better to just think of odyssey as a hack n slash adventure game but made by ubisoft

I honestly did not like playing any of the other assassins creed games. The only ones I enjoyed were odyssey and origins. I liked watching my sister play black flag, but couldn't get into playing it myself.

So I hope Valhalla is closer to odyssey than the originals. Just my personal preference.

I'm playing through Unity finally and this game is kind of bad. Odyssey can't be worse than this, 3 or 1.

That said, I doubt AC Odyssey is best game of generation.

After Unity I have Syndicate and Origins to play.
I'll probably get Odyssey in a year or so.

Yes, stupid people whined about that.

Basically, in the main game you could sex up whoever you wanted (or NOT sex up people if you didn't want), so if you decided you wanted the main character to be exclusively gay, you could. Or you could be exclusively straight, or bi, or asexual, or whatever. But then the DLC has the main character impregnate/get pregnant with a specific NPC, because you're both magic people and have a moral obligation to pass on your genes to future generations. So people who wanted to be gay threw tantrums, because they were forced to soil themselves with opposite sex sex. Yuck!

It was an asinine whiny complaint, because it makes perfect sense in-game why the character would do it. And considering the entire framing story of the game is that you're NOT even that character, as much as you're a different character who is reliving that character's life via virtual reality. And it's arguably even foreshadowed in the main game, when your mom is apparently a lesbian but still made sure to have kids of her own, with someone she didn't even really like that much, because moral obligation. And because the entire premise of the setting is that you can't relive someone's memories at all unless they've had kids (because genetic memory).

And that's not even getting into things like bisexuality a) being a thing, and b) being pretty common in ancient Greece. Including, you know, among the Spartans.

It was mostly just a case of the Twitter/Tumblr Outage Brigage looking for something to be angry about, as always.

Bad opinion but it is my belief that you literally can not say Breath of the Wild is one of the best games of the generation and then claim Odyssey and Origins aren't. Odyssey and Origins literally offer a similar experience while also rectifying the issues BOTW has.

I don't understand this complaint. Obviously the people who wanted something different and the people who didn't are not the same people. A fanbase isn't a single person, nor is it a hive mind.

Similar combat. Similar exploration. Similar "open air' feeling.

Except Assassin's Creed actually has substance and Legend of Zelda doesn't have much more than you aimlessly walking around Hyrule looking for 120 shrines.

I guess it also kinda depends on how Ubisoft presented it and how they responded to reactions.

I mean, there is a very clear potential problem in it, that could have been handled very poorly very easily.

I've owned Odyssey for over a year but never played it. I bought the game because I loved the older games and the Greek setting was really intriguing. However, all I've been hearing since my purchase is that it's a broken mess of a game, full of grinding and awful quests and objectively worse than The Witcher 3 (a game I did not enjoy). Makes me worried to start it...

I'll give you a reason to get started on Odyssey... Within the first five minutes or so you can climb up a huge statue and hang off its massive dick.
