An Archaeologist Reacts to Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Part 2) | Cincinnati Art Museum 

Please tell her we are extremely grateful for her knowledge.

Part 2 was better then part 1. Yeah it would be a lot better if the game play was done live. Stream it through discord, or some other platform.

Please, redo this the right way.

So how did he stop at 2:45 when she asked? How was it pre-recorded?

@@Jay_Kay666 sure. want to pay for her trip expense?

Right? I'm surprised archeologists stuck at home haven't done that yet. They could have had hours of material & months to play through everything, so crazy!

I'd be interested to se what she thinks of Delphi, I've heard that it's incredibly accurate in the game, but I am not sure.

Ya, they should also get some archeologists to point out these details that didn't match the timeline.

Yep, I would totally watch craploads of this, its incredible

Yes, make that happen. I really would like to get those game rated by scientists

because they're shitbisoft

They admit it themselves that they take liberties with things if it makes the game look a bit better or something exciting can be used in the story that actually takes place in another time period. The game has huge fantasy elements so a few historically inaccuracies shouldn't be something to get worked up about. During black flag, when you're out of the animus as a employee at the abstergo entertainment studio, even though it's not the same thing as ubisoft game studio I think it gives a glimpse into how things get done in real life in regards to making a historical game or film. The company will balance realism and inaccuracies/fantasy to make the product more appealing to the consumer.

Because variety is the spice of life. Sometimes they just choose what they think looks nicer instead of what's most accurate. They have a historical tour you can go through as a bonus, separate game mode, where you can get more accurate information on the characters in the game and their real roles in life, as well as the places you visit. I don't know if it explains any of the inaccurate elements and why they're fictionalized, probably not, but it's a nice way to get some understanding and culture of ancient Greece if the game's inaccuracies bothered you at all.

@Helios i don't think you know what cringe means

@@2cool0 I didn't want to say this but it's pretty cringe, dude. We're only telling you because we're your bros, and bros are real with each other.

That’s really cool I didn’t know that they did that. That might also explain why some details like the switch back leading to the Parthenon was used (the Roman period path) as opposed to the direct hill that would have been there during the Peloponnesian war.

@@TownianScout quite likely since it would have required a bit of extra work to reconstruct rather than simply using the data collected to make it simpler to cut some costs in the games development. i only just started playing Assassin's Creed since Odyssey but now i do plan on playing all the others in the series. another detail in the game they've incorporated is a "history mode" that has a pathed quest to follow and explore as they show you various artifacts and tell you the stories behind a lot of the city. they really went all out and in depth with not just amazing game play but also with history and education. while they're not the only ones to add historical/mythical figures to games another one that stands out is the Final Fantasy series, many of them use Greek/Roman/Norse/Japanese/Middle East gods and accounts throughout in the form of bosses, mobs or locations and many of them are quite intertwined with the accounts from the stories of old. much creative liberties are taken however within the Final Fantasy series but they do try to stay within the bounds of what the characters were depicted like in the stories. it's quite unique and i think highly overlooked by many who play the game simply for the story and never look at it any closer, which i won't argue their story telling is some of the best and it really pulls emotions out of you as you get attached to the characters on their journey.

@@ToeCutter454 I love the mythology and history that is included in this series. It inspires me to do a lot of reading up too!

A lot of it just down to costs. A game still has to ship, and if you can save on data to ship and production time by swapping out detail sculptures and paintings (like the deeds of heracles on the Athens temple that they subbed in), why wouldn't you? A lot of people wouldn't even notice the difference.

It’s almost as if Ubisoft started the fire in order to promote their game...

Exactly!! I hope they realised that guy can't edit videos and raw material has been sent to movie department. I would have watched a walktrough with that woman narrating.

@@Jay_Kay666 I agree. The man talking with her is also a pain in the ass. They should get rid of him.

Would be even better to go into photo mode

Why is he even playing it? You can take photos and zoom in...what a noob

Ditto!

This was edited . Everything she talked about .he was able to view it clearly .

they posted a comment now about what hapenned :)

More videos = more views = more $$$ from RU-vid.

They did, look for NotaBene. It's a french ytb, maybe you can find subtitles. He did it for ac V

Yeah, totally, I love and empathize with her passion, she deserves a better space.

Agreed. The parts that are accurate far outweigh the parts that aren't, and honestly most of the inaccuracies are there for gameplay purposes. Spartan naval battles and all that.

It's really quite amazing how much effort was put into reconstructing ancient Greece. Of course, there are the embellishments, and a couple missing details, but on the whole there is and perhaps never will be anything like it. It's too bad that after Origins and Odyssey there is none of the archeological history really offered in Valhalla, although I do find it to be a more fun game in its own ways.

Because Assassins creed odyssey play's in 431 BC and the collossus of rhodes was build 280 BC but yeah would be nice to climb on the collossus of rhodes (sorry for the bad english ':D)

@@Timo_812 do you rly think people care about historical accuracy? a gr8 missed opportunity a gr8 island just lost also dont forget the acropolis of lindos so sad tbh well to be fair cyprus was not included not even ionia so yeah

Have you thought about the assassin's creed tour game of greece?

@@hutt1936 No but thanks for the idea. I'll have to look into it.

"Jars" or pottery is actually one of the most important things in ancient archeology so its important to know about them

@@MBM1117727 I mean it really isn't for Ubisoft though but it's still really cool if it's accurate :p

Run by prerecorded at breakneck speed, broken in two and cut off any enthusiasm mid sentence. Sound like a proper public education yeah👌🏻

The guy should have just told her that you get more variety with simple reusable textures since you can't have million different motifs handpainted by artists like real pottery had.
