Yes! This is exactly how I felt. It's crazy how I finished the quest chain with Sigurd because it felt urgent, and then the game forced me into every region of the map to do boring side content (except it wasn't side content) to finally CIRCLE BACK to Sigurd for the finale. The pacing is atrocious and the gameplay loop simply does not hold up. It feels like playing a product to pass time, not to enjoy it.

This was my exact experience! I finally finished the game after around 100 hours (due to sidetracking and stupid limited time seasonal events in a single player game), and for about 30 of those hours I was unaware that i had basically already finished the main plot with Sigurd and was just being forced to do chores before i was arbitrarily allowed to see how the main plot ended.

Now if they gave it a different title and did some changes on mechanics it would at least be seen with more open-minded expectations and curiosity.

@@mentos93 but skillup is wrong. The combat is fun and can be punishing when you turn up the difficulty. You’re a Viking not an assassin. The acting in this game has been one of the best and the characters show more emotion than in odyssey. Repetitive gameplay of course but.... look at Spider-Man miles morales the games over in 8 hours. 10 hours tops and no reason to play it again. I rather have a game like assassins creed that I can play and enjoy over a long period. The lore and the mysteries in the game are interesting. I have 60 hours in just running around and getting myself killed in harder areas way above my pay grade. Raiding could have been better. More difficult and maybe an option on you balancing areas or else the enemy could have regained footing. You’d have to raid again. I actually enjoyed odyssey/origin loot over Valhalla’s but I can see what they were going for.

@chillociraptor5007 3 года назад

@@aandlwireless Disagree. There should still be some level of difficulty in Normal. Majority of people go into games on the game's normal difficulty. If there isn't at least some challenge to every difficulty, that's a major problem. A game needs a challenge to overcome. That is one of the core fundamentals to any game design. If there is no challenge. And if a game is too easy. Then what are you actually getting out of what you're doing? If a character talks of overcoming a difficult threat in any given game, how can the audience relate to it at all? If it was piss easy you would feel no resolve. No accomplishment. The reason a game is a game is in it's ability to relate your actions to what is going on in that world. The character says it was a slow, hard fought victory. The player feels like it was a walk in the park. It lacks impact and creates a dissonance between the player and the game. Not allowing you to relate to these characters in turn or feel deeply involved in the world. Game's need some level of challenge to every difficulty given. And if normal, arguably the most picked game difficulty, is really easy, you think about how many experiences that might ruin? Sure you can change difficulty but playing it on the normal difficulty, the most standard and most picked difficulty in gaming is really essential to reviewing a gaming experience, as it is accustomed for a large majority of people to relate to, as they will play through on normal. That is why this review is absolutely fair and wonderfully professional. His complaints are completely justified. And his review is great. I am a game design student at Media Design School.

Modern "AAA" titles have reached this level, where every aspect of them is just meh. They lack both scope and depth, that would make them interesting. Open world, even with generic elements, could be interesting, if there is enough depth to this game. Like loot or extended character development system. If those generic features are arranged in a very good way. None of it is present in games like Valhalla and Legion. They are big, but utterly shallow, lacking enough content for enjoyable gameplay loop, where you can go from activity 1 to activity 2...to activity 37, keeping player interested, because there is so many different things to do(and they are not mandatory) and any of them making impact on gameplay in some shape or form. What we see with those games is developers starting to reach rock bottom of practice that has been in place for last 10 years or so, where games have been gradually watered down(Fallout franchise is a perfect example), to appeal to largest audience possible, resulting in none of those games having anything that would make them even remotely special, not to mention unique. You just repeat same extremely limited number of activities, for very little reward or impact on anything. Grind is no longer tool for reaching certain goals, it is all that those games have. Very little substance.

EDIT: If you enjoyed this game, that's okay! This comment here was just my opinion back then, agreeing with SkillUp's review. Some people got offended by it, but don't take it personal, please. - There is no weight on this game's combat and movement, you feel like you're just hitting NPCs HP bars. - The world is pretty, but it feels empty. - The NPCs are all generic with the same faces and dialogues. Sometimes I see the same NPC models side by side doing the same animations. - The missions are unending and just bad, feels like you're doing the same thing for 70 hours. Always that "talk > scan > kill" or follow someone. - No motivation to keep going through the story, no real objective. Everybody hates you when you reach a new ally region, you do some missions, and then suddenly everybody loves you. Repeat this for like thirteen times. - Like you said, the equipment you find throughout the world is boring. And the "secret" places to find them always follow the same pattern. - No motivation to spend the silver coins you get, because the vendors are not interesting at all and they sell the same things. After almost a year since I bought it (full price), after many times I've given up because I was too bored, I've finished it. I've finished the main story because I always want to prepare for the next AC title. It wasn't worth it, not even close. One of the worst and meaningless games that I've ever played for sure. I should've watched your video before.

Pro tip for buying Ubisoft games: Don't look forward to them? Buy them like 2 years after release for like ten bucks when you're just looking for a new game to burn time on. Like when you just wanna simulate productivity. Here's an open world, here's all the collectables on the map, here's easy flashy combat, probably won't stop having fun till 20-40 hours. Why expect anything better from Ubisoft? Their last game I bought at full price was Far Cry 3. Then they clearly just started following the same formula for all their games.

And it was the most boring gameplay ever. Spamming counter-attacks every single fight is the definition of repetitive and also the reason why the majority of the people (including me) stopped playing Assassin's Creed games.

I miss the days when the maps weren't so big and there was actual interesting characters that tied in to the modern day story. Everything from the Ezio to Black Flag I would say was the best of the series. Now its turned into a bootleg grindfest where stealth is not even needed anymore. Nothing happens in the modern day story and they just keep shitting out a game each year. Back in the Desmond days it felt like we were reaching a conclusion of the story now we got nothing.

@nateweter4012 3 года назад

I agree. This is just my personal opinion, but ACIII was my personal favorite. I absolutely loved exploring colonial America and getting caught up in the Revolutionary War. I was just blown away. Black Flag had a very similar feel and was remarkable in its own right, although both were a bit grindy IMO. I got so immersed in those games. Everything felt “grounded” in terms of history, details and battles. I felt that my in-game victories were well earned and not just inevitable. I feel like magical weapons, mythical creatures, riding around on a horse sized wolf, and super exaggerated cosmetics and armor only get further away from what made the previous ones great. Edit: I want to clarify that I understand these games have and always have had certain fantasy and unrealistic elements to them. It’s difficult to put into writing what I’m talking about. I think we’d all agree that nothing is ever black and white and it’s not like any given game is either historically accurate or not. There’s a huge range of “grey area” in regards to the subject accuracy since a game that was 100% historically accurate would be extremely boring, no matter the genre. I remember in 2018 when I was expressing my disappointment at the lack of historical accuracy in BFV; I got so much criticism with statements like “Battlefield has never been historically accurate! If you don’t like ABC, then what about XYZ in previous games!?” I feel like comments like that deliberately misinterpret and distract from the issue by pretending there’s never been an appropriate range of historical accuracy in games that have been well received. Everyone knows, not any single game is 100% accurate and we all know that liberties have to be taken to ensure fun and compelling gameplay. But I think anyone who has been gaming long enough understands that there’s an unofficial range of what the gaming community would consider a historical accuracy focus. The best current examples I can give are the differences between BV1 and BFV. Both games have elements of their respective wars that are anything but historically accurate. But anyone who has more than a budding interest in 20th Century warfare and technology will agree, that BFV took waaay more liberty with their interpretation. To those who don’t know much about the conflicts or just don’t care, it may not be noticed, but it was certainly the largest departure from historical accuracy in terms of weapon, vehicle, equipment and cosmetic accuracy for the battles and settings within the game. Another example is Red Dead Dead Redemption 2. I’m currently playing it on PC and love every second. It’s not 100% accurate to the period but is definitely within what the grand majority of gamers would consider historically accurate for the late 1890’s in the U.S.. The game is extremely immersive and a joy to explore, in my opinion, because of this. Everyone’s opinions are valid.

@Fractured676 3 года назад

@@nateweter4012 Black Flag was my favorite. AC3 SHOULD have been my favorite, but every aspect of AC3 that was unique to the revolutionary war was just a cheap gimmick, and I hated that. I was super looking for to interrupting some line battles, and having some skirmishes with allies. Instead line battles were a game of hide and seek behind cover then sneak around back. And skirmishes were you going from left to right on a horse. Also fun fact, remember the trading system? Where you'd sell pelts, and craft stuff? Selling raw materials in AC3 was the best profit. I even crafted the cannons and such, which actually took awhile to make. And the net gain was literally less than if I just sold the materials separately. Why would you do this!?

At the same time I can't entirely trust a guy that clearly doesn't like a genre but keeps trying to review them. Like, I don't mind the opinion but IMO if you're starting to do something and you already want it to end it's more likely that you'll end up hating it, especially if it takes 50+ hours. A LOT of people didn't get the whole "bloat level gating" issue with Odyssey, me included. Why? Because we never, ever, not even once had to grind to do anything in that game. If you like the RPG genre, the ARPG genre, the open world ARPG genre, that's natural progression, not grind. I just played a game on my Switch called Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and absolutely loved it but I noticed something... I played it with the same mindset I do in most rpgs/open world games, I progressed naturally through the cities and maps, meaning that I would take every side quest possible and started completing them until I felt I wanted to move on with the story. Xenoblade has like 480 side quest while Odyssey doesn't even get to half that number. The thing is, when I was at about halfway through the story in Odyssey I was already max level having to scale enemies up to my level to have fun while in Xenoblade I faced the reality that I had to level up EVEN MORE to even scratch the last boss, literally because they have a system that if you're outside a 5 level range with the opponent you miss pretty much every attack, so I had to, guess what? Grind.. You see, it's natural progression if you want to do it but it becomes grind if you're forced to do it. In other words Skill Up is being forced to play these games, it's not the first time and it won't be the last, he doesn't really like these kinds of games and after watching most of his videos, he isn't the target audience for them. The vast majority of games he plays and reviews fall in three categories. It's either a game that goes on for 20 to 40 hours, a game that can be replayed over and over again (like the rogue likes he mentioned) and multiplayer MMO-lite games. He doesn't play 100 hour JRPGs and he doesn't play 100 hour western or CRPGs. He doesn't even have a Witcher 3 review as far as I know, one of the best and most influential games of the last decade. And that's not a problem at all, it just goes back to what I said, he's not the target audience. Xenoblade Chronicles is considered one of the best JRPGs of all time and Assassin's Creed Odyssey is considered a bloated boring game. I get it, in Xenoblade the story is better, the characters are better and the writing is better but I'm talking about bloat, about grind, about boredom.

Just posted similar, glad to see other people are noticing this. Even though it is funny; as "Games Urinalists" are hilariously dumb. It isn't me, you, or the others who have stated it being facetious; it is actually a bad thing and worries me. I don't want to have to have a cheat code to make a game play as it should. But, I seriously think Ubisoft did exactly that and other companies may follow suit for the good reviews out of MSM reviewers.

@@LemanRussx i dont know about syndicate, but black flag did get more difficult yet more rewarding as time went by. I mean youre an assasin main protag hero so of course youre gonna be a 1 man army bad ass. But like. On normal standing still barely taking damage while 1 enemy out of 5 actually attacks? thats FAR too easy for "normal" it usually goes: easy = no application, normal = apply the basics, hard= advanced application.

Game is made for auto-aimers with 30 PREMIUM FPS doing macro-transactions for cut content giving out their personal data and that data is being exploited by publishers to inflate and keep people in the loop. Welcome to the brave naive world. Developers of said naive world can't face the facts so they suppress, censor people. Outsource their dirty work to influencers which get high when they receive free merch. Free merch > free speech. Is your mind blown how people fall for same thing every time? It shouldn't be. Because divided, singled out individuals has no chance against organized criminal entity; corporation. Corporation is an approved scam & spy business. Their approval was obtained through manufactured consent. Corporation is not the industry of manufacturing products. Corporation is in the industry of manufacturing consent. As well Corporations [through governments] are harvesting our biometric data on global scale. So they can get to know us far better than we know ourselves, and they not just predict our feelings but also manipulate our feelings and sell us anything they want- Be it a product as a service or politician.
