Assassin's Creed Odyssey is out now and follows in the footsteps of Origins with a more open-RPG take on Assassin's Creed. But which game is better? Find out in this week's episode of Versus!
Odyssey feels more fluent and there is more mechanics introduced, Ubisoft have seen the benefits from Origins and shifted it over to Odyssey. Odyssey is much better in my opinion, the only complaint I have is that the main protagonists voice actors were mediocre. If the voice acting was top notch I feel like this game would be more rememberable.
Odyssey is the better game all around. It just improved from the foundation that Origins laid. While I still love the Egyptian theme, Odyssey just took the formula and added to it.
People saying Bayek is too uptight and needs to relax, would you be relaxed if your son was killed right in front of you and you were going after the people who did it? I wouldn't be lol
And he manages to compose himself almost every time. How's that uptight. Whereas Alexios or Kassandra are determined by the player, so no personality at all.
@@chad_b dont know how they see that...his personality definitely didn't reflect his tragedy. Maximus from gladiator would be a good example of how his emotional state should have been
@@arturius9715 yeah I do see what you mean. His emotions were kind of all over the place at times. I still loved his character though. He's probably my favorite assassin's creed protagonist
**Spoiler** the scene towards the end where he and Aya break up, he drops the necklace and when she picks it up it leaves the assassins print on the sand was fucking insane. That was such a powerful moment for the entire assassins culture..it was just perfect to watch. That game was fucking beautiful..I never played Odyssey, it never interested me enuff and it looks like a huge game..didn't want to play it without knowing I'd be fully invested...but I'd be surprised to see it better than Origins. That was to me, the best AC game ever.. so, so good.
I wouldn’t say it some of the most beautiful ever but definitely one of my favourite settings. The view from the sync point above siwa at sunrise is truely gorgeous
Lvan3068 2907 I have a hard time picking between Bayek and Ezio, while I have still yet to complete the last two games in the Ezio trilogy I still think they are both very very well developed characters, although, I think I felt more connected and just more similar to Bayek, the development team made him feel so alike with normal everyday people, still a hard choice between the two though.
But isn't Reveance the reason for all ac main characters to become an assassin. Only the nes who already where assassins or were born into that are doing what they do to prevent bad things from happening
As far as characters, I think Bayek is one that hits close to home with me. Because I’m a father currently, and I’ve lost a child in the past. I could not help but feel like I was actually in his shoes while playing the game.
I'm really sorry for your loss. It is amazing that games are improving so much that they are gaining the power to speak to us in a way that could previously only be attained by great literature.
Sorry for your loss man ☹️ I can’t relate much because I’ve never been a father but I know what it’s like to lose a family member. I wish you well 👍🏽❤️❤️
You two are obviously not parents. I think Bayek was played perfectly as a man who lost his son. Bayek is not too serious at all. and life isn't always fun and games.
The question is not whether the character should chill given his situation. The question is, should you write a one-dimensional character whose circumstances are so bleak he can only ever be serious 24/7.
Origins just has a much more "mysterious" vibe too it. The music, the setting,...plus, i like the weapons system better in origins. Looting is also much more fluid in origins.
Agree. Egypt worked perfectly. I remember when I first started playing I was like "man, gotta check out the pyramids, the sphinx, Alexandria lighthouse" etc.
Depends it’s all opinion I like Greek mythology more than Egyptian mythos also the way odyssey opens up is legendary I got goosebumps .. I love origins too but the combat is sloppy
Spot on ! The music ambiance and the Ptolemaic Egyptian setting .. Cleopatra And Julius Ceasar! I’ve made it to platinum on both games - I’d give Origins the edge ! 10/10 ! Odyssey id give 8.5/10!
I like he realism of Origins, he’s a Medjay who lost his son and is trying to help all of Egypt, while in Odyssey, your a Mercenary who does whatever suits them
in odyssey i loved the greek landscape and npc dialogue and interaction but i fucking hated the protagonists. like what is the reason for fighting several sides of a war? there was no background other than two siblings separated so like why are they both killers without reason?
Chronus I started back into Odyssey after noticing there was a control switch. Couldn’t do the new control layout. Wanted X and Y to be my main forms of attack. Anyway after getting back into it, it gives me the feeling of Witcher in a way, and I’ve been fighting for Sparta ever since😂.Also you get a like from me. I understand your position, but me personally, I couldn’t do anymore Templar killing. It gets old after awhile. Then again, some characters do come across as dry. But the shear amount of content over shadows it for me.
One difference in the games is that Odyssey is more about the player, the player gets to make their story In Origins you are following a story and the decisions are made by him
@@lightyagami8645 combat doesnt feel impactfull at all you just hit sponges til you can use a high damage ability to kill them and all the areas are restricted behind levels and felt bland compared to origins
She said: “I feel like in Origins you have to grind for level up because you was too underlevel”. Seriously its in Odyssey you have to grind for level up
In Origin, they give you a skill for XP takedown, headshot, kill streak. The cap level much better because easy for doing the mission when you above the level of the quest. Unlike Odyssey, when you try levelling above the main & side story. It just put the same level as you are, I feel like unmotivate to play the game at all.
@@ryusof6 not sure where yall get this 'I'm too low level" from. Everytime I went to a new city, just went to a signpost and collected 3 bounties. 5minutes later I've already almost outlevelled the area. Not once have I found myself too low level to continue the main story.
@#BAGLIFE MIKE Now THAT'S actually the first argument for Odyssey I've seen that sounds logical, I can understand and appreciate that 👍 To me though, I'd trade "easy"* for intriguing main charater/story, immersion, atmospheric setting and (yet*) grounded/entertaining combat ANYDAY. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a game.
Nah...these journos just played saved game files of the most interesting parts to review and at least keep their facts right. Truth is they never played through a single game FULLY
It's clear these people don't know a thing about these games. Her opinions about odyssey is just insane, odyssey did nothing better than origins and I say this as a person who spent 160+ hours in odyssey
There need to be more ancient Egyptian games, the best part of origins was the setting, it was so grand and mysterious, plus Bayek was a great character
Yes, im tired with europe landscape. Look how similar italy in every AC2/Brotherhood with AC5 Paris and AC6 London. Egypt feel so fresh. We need to move further, japanese, chinese, mongolian, middle east, oceania, south-east asian culture can be a new fresh settings for AC games...
Odyssey is so much better that it almost dulls origins in comparison... There's not a single facet where Odyssey lags behind its counterpart... Most of the people who prefer origins haven't even played Odyssey...
After having played both games and thoroughly enjoying both, I found myself coming back to Origins after having taken a long break from both games. Origins as a game is just more grounded and the story is also more solid, like they said in the video, in Odyssey Kassandra/Alexios is a mercenary and fights for whomever they want. But that can end up contradicting the story, she is Spartan and fights alongside Sparta AND Athens? If she just full-on sided with Athens due to Sparta trying to kill her, that would make sense. If she sided with Sparta because she is Spartan, that would make sense. But she fights for both... it just kinda scraps any morals or drive she would have. Bayek fights for freedom and for the people of Egypt. While Kassandra/Alexios fights for themself and is a literal demi-god. It just takes the immersion out when you are in the story trying to find and kill the cultists for tearing your family apart, and then you can go out into the street and murder innocent people. The combat in Origins is also more redeeming, you have to have good timing and have to know how to fight within the game's fighting system. While in Odyssey you can just shoot and kill a whole fortress of enemies over the course of like 10 minutes using just the god arrow. It just seems more rewarding in Origins, as well as the fact that some stealth is actually kept in the game. In Odyssey, there is no risk when you're trying to clear a fortress, you can be stealthy and if you're caught, oh well lemme just use my god abilities. I think Origins is better with the combat system, the story, the more minimalistic elements of RPGs. They both have amazing settings so I don't want to compare them because it's impossible to choose one over the other. I love the grandeur and real feal of Egypt while also loving the beauty and multiple large cities across dozens of islands. I really hope they take the best of both of these games and make something amazing with Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
Thank you for this. I have AC origins but bearly just started it. Odyssey gold edition is on sale right now for 25 bucks but with all the games that are coming out and the games i have yet to complete i think I'll save some money and take on Odyssey when the time is right and that time is so far into the future.
@@chocolate6315 I feel ya man. I don't own a pc but i came close to buying a gaming laptop a few weeks ago. 144hz, I7 9750H, Nvidia gtx 2060 and 1tb ssd for 1200. Still might pull the trigger on it.
I feel the same way about Odyssey, i would often just stop for minutes and look at the world and get goosebumps. Playing at 4k at high-ultra setting and 60fps(most of the time) on pc made it absolutely glorious.
Gameplay in origins was shit compared to odyssey tho. When it wasn’t getting bombarded with arrows, it was dying from fire 2 seconds within getting burnt and dont even get me started with the fuckin horse mechanics
@@hunisarkany3039 Sure but at least it isn't annoying like origins. It was such an unbearable experience that it got to a point where I was just spamming the same combos to get rid of enemies rather than enjoy the actual combat. And don't even get me started on the damn Aya missions, I mean aside from her very unlikable attitude that just made me want to kill myself everytime I played as her, she was also even more usless than Hayak when it came to combat.
You cant hope for another Ezio. All you'll remember is "I loved that character. He's just like Ezio." No. Every character is great because of their own personality. And you have to take to account that Beyek lost his child months before where the game starts. Ezio lost his family and only started to become witty years and years after the Event. To me at least to say that Beyek needs to chill out after seeing his own child get killed in front of him just isn't fair.
robertojae Odyssey is gooooood. I’ve reached level 50 in 101 hours of game play. The skillset is amazing. You’re a Demi god so you can’t die when jumping from high altitudes. You’re super powerful and can kill a powerful Boss in a hand to hand combat (Warrior mode) once you reach high level. You give it a try. I have never played Origins so, I might give it a try but I’m worried about being disappointed now that I have played Odyssey.
Uptight? He was forced to drive a dagger into his son's heart with his own hands and is constantly haunted by it. "Jeez Bayek loosen up, smoke some weed."
Man - " They tried to kill me and take my research!" Bayek - " They're bandits" Man - " I didn't know they were those type of bandits" Bayek - " There are no other type of bandits!"
Odyssey for me was fun and I really liked exploring the world. I definitely felt more incentivized to explore in Odyssey for some reason but at the end it was just too grindy and I got burnt out 3 or 4 times before I could even finish it. Origins for me has a much better story and characters and its definitely better for me.
@@PescheGuatiche1I wish they would too, but Ubisoft stopped making Prince of Persia games because of Assassin's Creed popularity which Assassin's Creed was supposed to be a spinoff to but became much bigger
Andreas Pecl I mean if we got characters like Iltani maybe, but other than that, I don’t feel like we should be going further behind Origins, as it’s not really connected with Assassins and Templars, which is something most fans want.
Dude I just got it for $15 on the Xbox spring sale and the place in Alexandria where there were a bunch of stealth kills was one of my favorite things I’ve ever done. The stealth kills are always my favorites tbh
Sand is Irritating, That was never confirmed but it is likely and was always asked for, I do also believe it’ll be Norse mythology. Although it is not confirmed.
Don't forget how Bayek can draw his shield and make the camera strafe! That was awesome, you could focus on approaching your target even if they were shooting arrows at you.
I have played both. I liked Odyssey for the combat and gameplay. But damn, Origins is a clean, slick, and well developed experience you can't really find in the series.
I definitely loved Origins, it felt like the beginning of the assassin's and it was gorgeous and such a cool era, but I liked Odyssey for the combat. To me it felt more refined. I prefer the hidden blade over the spear but the abilities were better to me in Odyssey. Both are great time pieces and such cool lore and interesting locations, but Odyssey didn't feel like an assassin's creed game. Still I played both equally lol
@@ThePunkdude1 i agree that ezio is a really great character i loved ac2,brotherhood and revelations i just think personally that i relate to bayek more than ezio. Arguably bayek is also more import than ezio because he founded the brotherhood and created the tenants of the creed
jahh1975 That’s subjective, there’s more player choice and freedom this time around. Also it improved upon where Origins left off, the only complaint is the voice acting of the protagonists.
Hybrid 9 it’s definitely nice to look at but they should’ve gotten more in depth it felt like a big empty open world I returned it after like 3 hours of playing it and picked up the Witcher 3 instead that game is amazing
I haven't played Origins. I am going to start it soon. But in Odyssey, when you get to a high enough level like level 50, the mercenaries and high level enough just get frustrating. I mean that they do a lot of heavy attacks that cannot be blocked and only dodged. And when I make some distance, the enemy starts shooting poison arrow or fire arrows and those arrows do a lot of damage. They can kill my character in like 3-4 hits and on the other hand, I have to do like 40-50 hits to kill one. This is when I have Legendary gear fully upgraded. Is this the case with origins too?
No, it's all dumber and easier, so they love it on here thanks to that. But as far as Odyssey. Bow and bow skills. Cheat, attack the mercs first, set on fire with the arrow. Not easy, but they went down. Kite them if you know the term. I saw in Origins it works just that same way with their bounty hunters. Melee they start using fancy crap against you, and all that.
DPN honestly, it’s just best to play Origins and act like Odyssey doesn’t exist, because Origins actually ties in with pre-existing lore. While Odyssey just shits all over pre-existing lore.
I liked Odyssey a whole lot more than Origins. I played Origins moderately. Odyssey on the other hand I found myself playing until 4AM on a weekday lol. Sure Kassandra/Alexios' story may not be as intense as Bayek's, but the fact that the protagonists builds its story based on your choice of action and dialogue made it a much more complete game. Graphics I felt were a lot smoother on Odyssey and so was the fighting mechanics.
5:48 Personally I loved the mercenary system. I felt like it was me discovering a diverse bunch of warriors that eventually i would have to honorably or dishonorably kill for bounties or safety.
They used more motion capture in Origins while in Odyssey they used animations by clicking to say it this way. That means they made some poses and animations and if the animator clicks them the characters will make them. You often see the same poses in dialogue. Sometimes when Kassandra/Alexios smile in weird situations. Origins was way better in this.
@@Foxy4Love They did this because in Origins, the story is linear and straight. There are no alternate outcomes. It is also more shorter. Also, In Origins, the regular conversations scenes are not mo-capped. They are also computer animated. Only difference is that Origins uses the gameplay camera angle but Odyssey uses cinematic camera angle. Hence the lip-syncing errors in Odyssey is more notable than origins. Odyssey also had dialogue options, alternate outcomes, dual protagonists hence more cutscenes. So if they used mo-cap for all these cutscenes, the budget will be sky-high and Ubi won't spend so much money on a single game. There are some cutscenes in Odyssey which are motion captured. So, the cutscenes in Origins and Odyssey are literally the same
Having played and completed both, I prefer Origins. I actually ended up finishing Odyssey first, after having played most of Origins. For the longest time I couldn't put my finger on why Odyssey felt less immersive to me. Don't get me wrong, it's an incredible game, too. I love that Ubisoft pushed the RPG elements further with it and the combat is more engaging, and sailing the seas is a welcome return. But then I went back to Origins, and felt sucked into the world of ancient Egypt and came to realize Odyssey has size, but Origins has grandeur. Both maps are big, but I confess the team who made Origins have more world building talent. Everything from the way the camera pans with the movement of the character in Origins while it stays rather stagnant in Odyssey, to how epic all the architecture felt in the former more than the latter. I never felt like I was a speck in a massive world while playing Odyssey, but I do when in Origins, and that's actually a good feeling to have. Side Note: Odyssey's world is also more bloated, the map filled with a thousand and one things that felt more like a grind than an adventure. Still a great game, though.
I have not played neither of 2, I can already know Origins gonna be better, maybe because of Egypt. Egypt just got more assets and it more suitable to present in an AC game then Odyssey. Odyssey gonna feel farther then AC game. It just didnt click. can't relate assassin word to Odyssey. Plus the Egypt setting gonna feels emmersive af. Planning to buy Origins soon.
One of my colleagues was complaining about how overstuffed Odyssey is. I purchased Origins yesterday. Judging from all the comments, I think I made the right choice :)
Odyssey is way too goofy for me. I wish we had a game where you just play as a spartan rather than a mercenary. A cold hearted badass not a wisecracker. Save that for the urban games not the ancient ones.
That sounds positively abysmal. As someone said, go play God of War if you want to live the bleak hypermasculine warrior power fantasy. It’s so tired. You’ll *love* it.
I love both settings so it's really hard but my childhood fascination with Ancient Egypt might just push it over towards Origins but honestly BOTH are amazing games.
it's not like we've seen this about 100000 times in AC games...Bayek just like lots of other AC characters are just driven by vengeance..I mean it was fine the first couple of times, but idk I liked Bayek but Kassandra was just a better character to me she showed personality she grew up without her real parents but she isn't some super angry child only driven by vengeance...
Bayek created the brotherhood without him...it wouldn't be as many assassins in mondern day. Also all the assassin aren't driven by vengeance. Assassin creed black flag was on a boat like almost all the time. He wanted to conquered other ships and take money like it really didn't make sense of being an assassin. Now Bakey had a source. He was already a Medjai and when his son died he killed anybody that got in his way. And the journey was amazing in Eygpt. Tunnels, caves, PYRAMIDS. Riding on camels and going to the desert its a wonderful experience. Assassin creed origins is the best assassin creed game
@@jayjones127 I highly disagree..AC 2 is THE best Assassin's Creed game ever! always was and will be. The story, the characters, the setting...and even the modern day stuff...just AMAZING, I'm not saying Origins was bad...it was a great game probably top 3 AC games of all time but AC 2 is just on another level.
@@jayjones127 Anyway I liked Bayek my problem was his path was kind of something we've seen before: "loses important family member and is now angry and wants revenge"... we've seen that multiple times now... Ezio, Connor, Arno...and then again with Bayek. It's not bad it's just something we already have seen you know...it's not something new. And most things you said about Origins is also true about Odyssey...ancient Greece is absolutely gorgeous it's a beautifully detailed and stacked world with so much to do, besides giant landscapes there's the sea (which you didn't get in Origins apart from some missions). and it perfectly incorporates greek mythology into it which is brilliant, the combat and skills were all improved. I really like Odyssey so much because it was different, it's new.
We need another title in America. Meso America would be great. I'd love to play as an aztec warrior and watch Cortez and his templars arrive at the coast searching for pieces of eden, or using one to take over the way that he did.
To be fair there would be a great deal of desert in ancient Egypt between towns and cities. If there was less desert space in origins they would complain about that as well
Origins changed the franchise while maintaining it’s core. The stealth, the linear story, the hidden blade and so on. Odyssey looks like it doesn’t know what it wants to be and just had an AC name slapped on it.
I'm playing Origins now, I played Odyssey first. Your nostalgia aside, the fanboyism aside. No use, same people made both. Odyssey has improved on many many things Origins had. There's no arguing, I feel it very well BECAUSE I played both. But I like both, and played a few earlier ACs thanks to Odyssey, and Valhalla which stinks compared to either of these 2 in this thread.
To make it short, Origins was a slightly different but improved AC game, Odyssey is an RPG with AC elements. Both are amazing games. Which is better? That's for you to decide.
Jeff, what you said. I feel the same way. In addition, AC Origins was more story-driven, while AC Odyssey was more side-quest-driven. I also felt that the AC team had to experiment two different ways of overall gameplay, thus we got AC Origins and Odyssey. I think both games were successful. And I look forward to the next AC game which will carry forward the best of AC Origins and Odyssey.
I actually found Egypt to be rather drab and a little lifeless. However I love Greece, the architecture, the colors, and the feel of going on an adventure.
Origins was a perfect blend of assassins creed original DNA and new direction Ubisoft wanted, Odyssey feels like a MMO game with sharing ideas from shadow of Mordor with poor combat. I enjoy both but Origin was just so special due to Bayek and randomly going into caves and tombs and I love those side quests.
@@julan5384Lol odyssey is not like a sp MMO at all kingdoms of amular yes but Odyssey is pretty standard for open world games and activities. You all exaggerate to much.
When I first entered Alexandria and Memphis my jaw dropped. When I came to Athens, meh. It just looks more or less like others smaller cities mixed together.
true previous Ac game had better cities, ancient Egypt looks much better than Greece, piramids, gods, Alexandria looks much better than Anthens but i still like greece mythology need to give a try for this game
I'd love to see an Assasin's Creed graphics style to it with a larger map for longer puzzles and perhaps things to solve and a few baddies to kill on the way for those who REALLY have to have that itch of violence.
Unless you already know, they put out Immortals Fenyx Rising not long ago. It plays like AC, but it's also a whole lot like Zelda too. There are tons of harder Zelda style puzzles. I only found out about it from a Ubisoft email. I think you should try their demo. I loved that game. Finished it not long ago.
I like Origins more, because I like Egypt and in my opinion the main character is much better. It also feels much more like an Assassin's Creed game than Odyssey
I enjoyed origins a lot more honestly and felt more invested as the story had me travelling across the world at a nice pace. I always felt a sense of wonder and excitement when my next target took me to a brand new city with what felt like a completely different culture to the last.
How does the culture differ? All these cities/towns were under one rule - the Ptolemy rule. So they all had Greek culture with remnants of its pure Egyptian past.
Guys, I'm not really sure which of these two to buy. Which game gives you more hours to play? Which game gives you so many thing things to do (And I mean A Lot)? Which story mode of these two games is more longer? Origins or odyssey?
If length is what you want, Odyssey. If quality is what you want, Origins. I would get both if I were you, but my personal best is Origins for pretty much all the reasons the guy said in the video.
Odyssey... I spent around 300 hours in my first play through because I love to explore... and spent a lot of the early part of the game finding all the synchronization spots, sneaking into places to get the Pilgrim armor (best set of sneaking armor in the game)... then it was about raiding forts to upgrade my gear. My first AC game was Odyssey, I just recently finished Origins, and just couldn't get into it. I wonder how many people who are so up on Origins, would feel the same if they had played Odyssey first. Going to Origins from Odyssey, you could definitely tell that Origins was trying to put things together, but Odyssey made all the things better IMO.
I played Odyssey before Origins and, for me, Odyssey has a lot easier combat. But, I prefer the Egytian theme of Origins. If I could somehow combine the bits I like for both it would be a great game.
@@arifilhan9308 I personally really liked syndicates combat system. Was my favorite up to that point. Although I haven't played all of the acs, I still liked syndicate combats the most. but that's just me
Black Flag is awesome. once you play a lot of Odyssey and go back it makes Black Flag feel like a really old game. Theres almost nothing to do in Black Flag, but its definitely fun to mess around in still
@@mattyicicles1608 ya but the ship battles where so fucking epic in black flag the only thing oydessey does better is gameplay but with a shitty story with no assassin's and a brotherhood lol
Strange thing is the progression in origins for me seemed i was always equal if not two or three levels higher for every story mission, if you try and fly through the story without exploring your going to be under levelled, but i don't understand why you wouldn't be drawn into it's world. Best A.C yet.✌🏼🤘
Yeah I don't agree with that Bayek was not uptight there was a point in the game where he was playing hide and Seek with children. Bayek anger was getting the best of him because of the blooodthirst and Bayek was cracking plenty of jokes. Connor form AC3 is a better example of someone who's more uptight but connor from AC3 still cool.
I enjoyed Origins so much, the quest the exploring, the side missions, the emptiness in between. Odyssey? Yea I skipped have the missions and contracts.
I gotta say this, side quests in both got to me. I was dumb enough to do all in Valhalla, most stank. Same in these 2. They are there to get you from 10-20 and so on.
I completed origins and loved it. I bought odyssey about 3 months after but have really struggled to complete it, 95 hours in and still have half of the map to explore. It's just too similar to origins gameplay wise and far too big, quite overwhelming at times. I love the setting though.
If anyone sees this which game is less grindy i am playing odyssey and have been playing for around 50 hours and cant do any quests as the are for some reason level 50 and above for all of them not side quests main quests i should mention i must completed the tutorial island and a few quests after that and have spent most of my time trying to level up
I really like origins, All this Egypt style for me is amazing and mysterious. Love the sight seeing, desert, great game ! Odyssey's is pretty much the same mechanic game as origin, but I think bayek is much more Assassin than Alexios..they made him more of a fighter than an assassin.
Some interesting opinions here. Honestly, I was expecting to seriously fall in love with Witcher 3, but it just hasn't happened. In fact, I really don't understand why it's so popular. Yeah, the story seems cool (though there seems to be endless filler-ish errands I have to run before finding Ciri, starting to wonder when the hell I'll actually find her), but it's just not fun to me. The open world seems very empty and boring, and the fighting is totally dull. I was really disappointed in Breath of the Wild as well. As a massive Zelda fan, I was beyond excited for it. Unfortunately, I felt like I spent the whole game just riding across the landscape on my horse, and all of the shrines and dungeons had the exact same art styles. I was really missing the much longer and more creative dungeons from previous Zeldas. I'm a huge Dark Souls fan, Elder Scrolls/Fallout fan, and Red Dead/GTA fan. Haven't played an Assassin's Creed since the original over 10 years ago, but I'm extremely tempted by both Origins and Odyssey and am quite interested in buying both. I wonder how much I'd like them...
Disagree. It has a better story and characters but the exploration and gameplay is miles better. I mean you get your own ship and get to explore greece.
I agree with the gentleman... Origins was way better. Odyssey was just way too much for me. I never finished, but I played all the way through Origins. I also like that I had a shield I could block with in Origins. The fighting seemed to make more sense. I could care less for all the Naval combat.
I think odyssey added way too many RPG elements, origins was sitting at a perfect balance of light RPG elements and maintaining the assassins creed feel. I would’ve preferred it odyssey did indeed improve upon origins, but not by the pace they did.
I’ve played 411 hours of origins and completed every trophy and every quest and ? In the whole game including dlcs. I just love origins so much. I’ve got almost if the merchandise you can get for it as well
Really 130 hours??? Main campaign onyl for 5 hours and dlc not included if you buy dlc together with campaign that would be 12 hours!!!! 130 hours for the ps4 trophy just be clear ok not the game
Origins had one of the weakest writings in the whole series and felt extremely rushed in the end. Odyssey paces itself and it’s characters are so much more interesting and fleshed out.
@@user-bg1ls5cd1h That's a lie. I never found Alexios or Kassandra interesting or call themselves a character. They are not characters AT ALL, they are nothing but empty shells. Every side character is irrelevant and the story is a FANFICTION MESS LIKE FIFTY SHADES OF GREY.
I liked both both but ac odysessy had to much gay stuff and origins I love the stealth and stayed to how assassin creed and odysessy was just 300 and every other greek movie all over again, origin story was original and story longer and more complex
Regardless of which side you’re on, this was an awesome conversation. 2 people sit down & share their conflicting opinions in an open & respectful manner. I love it. I often prefer to share my opinions & ideas with someone who I generally disagree with, maybe they know something I don’t, maybe I’m missing something, maybe they can show me a different perspective that reshapes my own. End rant. I loved both games. I’m absolutely infatuated with Ancient Greek & Greek mythology, so being able to experience the life of a Spartan through Odyssey felt like a dream to me. Which is why my experience of Odyssey, wasn’t affected by the common (valid) criticisms of the game. I saw the world of Odyssey through the Rose-tinted glasses of Ancient Greek, & I’ve never felt so immersed in a game. So with all of that being said - Origins is a far superior game in nearly every way, and I will die on this hill!
