Assassin’s Creed Origins, Super Mario Odyssey, Wolfenstein II: Which Should You Buy?

A difficult choice indeed.

[Relientk77]

I'm buying all 3 of these games lol

[Orejillz]

Lol I think I'm getting two. Trying to convince myself to get Wolfenstein...

[Erik7357]

Really? I saw gameplay of assassin creed origins and while the setting is exciting I became dissapointed after watching hours of the game and in my opinion it seemed unimaginative,unpolished glitchy, and a big mess with the UI stuff going on its screen which you can disable but the way things are set up it looks quite annoying to play some missions without it. AI is NOT SMART in the slightest, very dumb. Some of the transitions to cutscenes are jarring and the facial animations for characters are just absolutely terrible looking when you compare it to Witcher 3, a game that came out a year ago. Dont even get me started on how terrible the new Far Cry looks.

Mario Odyssey looks like a joy to play and wolfenstein 2 looks like a first person shooter to have a solid campaign....something we haven't had in a long time for games.

@Erik7357
Of course anything not Nintendo is horrendous for you. You're just mad your inferior switch (made for children) can't handle a proper game like ACO.
Why didn't you like It. Was the graphics too good for you? Too serious? Too scary? You need something more cartoonish and easy that a child can play and finish without a problem?

[G3ng4r]

@MVG "Of course anything not Nintendo is horrendous for you."
Erik sounds excited about wolfenstein 2, which isn't nintendo developed, so your garbage post is already off to a bad start.
"You're just mad your inferior switch"
The switch is inferior as far as specs are concerned, being a handheld. It is however the best at being handheld while pc is best for the specs you want, placing ps4 somewhere in the middle with xbox as the inferior consoles. Speaking of, I hear your ps4pro is having trouble hitting 60fps in a lot of games.
"(made for children)"
Hey now little guy, you've got your ps4, if you keep being hateful you can run along and play CoD online with the other squeakers.
"can't handle a proper game like ACO."
I'll bet you thought switch couldn't handle current gen bethesda games either.
"Was the graphics too good for you?"
Did you preorder an xb1x or are you waiting to see if the graphics are too good for you?
"Too serious? Too scary?"
PS4 exclusives in general: Too emotional? Too similar graphics/gameplay? Trying too hard to be edgy?
"You need something more cartoonish"
Cartoonish like the fractured but whole or crash bandicoot? Art style hasn't been the best indicator of maturity since the 90's. You can hate on nintendo's variety of styles if you want but really most of sony's first party games look alike. I haven't seen so many games with the same gritty and muted colors since cabbage green gameboy.
"and easy that a child can play and finish without a problem?"
You're describing modern games in general. As gaming filled with tutorials, ground arrows and hand holding nintendo, the company responsible for the term "nintendohard", has consistently managed to keep a degree of challenge in their games. Are you old enough to remember the blue coin stages in mario sunshine? Naw? Well, there's always the kiddie argument "that's for babies."

[Neonridr]

@MVGeneral - bet you are kicking yourself that you couldn't bring up Wolfenstein in your point.. lol

[EddieNX]

Wolfenstein 2 is shaping up to be one the absolutel most "mature" and controversial games around, a lot more than Peter Pan Creed Origins...

[Prince_TFK]

Lmao MVGeneral. Your obsession with the Switch is just creepy at this point. AC Origin will have better graphic, but that is the only thing that it will have compared to Mario O. Graphic does not automatically make a game great or fun to play, remember that.

What will your excuse be I wonder when Mario O win GOTY from most if not all gaming outlets.

The sad thing is, there are people that agree with your delusion. This speaks volumn of this site.

[Scatpants]

Get one and then buy the other two for $35 on black friday.

[2pacalypsenow]

Only one im interested in is Wolfenstein

[goken]

the new wolfenstein looks really cool.

which one to choose really depends on taste if you ask me.
all 3 games are looking great, all very different games though.
this is possibly the best Mario yet!
but normally i would pick assassin's creed, more invested in the series, but this wolfenstein looks really really promising, i would probably pick wolfenstein also.

[shuvam09]

Me too...
Was planning on getting a Switch this holiday, but got PSVR instead...
Guess I will continue with my Vita for a while...

[PhantomTommy]

Picking up Wolfenstein and Mario, gonna be a weekend to remember.

[Orejillz]

Two very different games haha, have fun

[V0MIT_M0NSTER]

Hmmm, Nintendo has me feeling some kind of way right now, so maybe I'd get Mario.

[deadfrag]

Wolfenstein 2 and Mario Odyssey.Have to support developers that keep releasing my Single Player fix without MT shit involved.

[remixx116]

Facts!!!!!!

[GamesMaster1982]

Witch ever one you want its not that difficult. For me its Wolfenstein 2 all the way.

[NoPeace_Walker]

Mario Odyssey at launch and i'll get the other two with the XB1X midnight launch on Nov 6. All three should be amazing games.

[Seraphim]

Mario at Launch and AC:O Black Friday/Cyber Monday when it's only $30-35. Not sure about Wolfenstein. While it's a must play, admittedly things are a little tight atm. Though that has nothing to do w/ not paying full price for AC :P

[browngamer41]

Mario Oddessey all the way!

[Modi1984]

All the hype i see for AC:O

[stupidusername]

Odyssey, then I might get Origins unless it gets horrible reviews. I'll eventually get Wolfenstein 2 down the line.

[Prince_TFK]

I will get all three. But it is highly possible that out of these three, AC:O will receive the most negative reviews.

[fonger08]

Wolfenstein and Mario... but I still have LotR Mordor to finish, South Park to even start, and causally playing NBA2k on the Switch... good time to be alive!!

[addictedtochaos]

Buying Mario at launch, Wolfenstein II when it comes to Switch, and may pick up AC Origins when it drops in price.

[DialgaMarine]

Definitely getting Wolfenstein 2. ACO not sure; haven’t played an AC since Brotherhood, but this one does look pretty good. SMO, buying, but sometime next year.

[Supernintendo85]

UH, Mario Odyssey AND Wolfenstien. Both are preordered and paid for. (But I’ll be playing Odyssey first 😁)

[redskinfanva]

im getting all three but im waiting until the one x comes out for two of them

[Hardiman]

I'm getting all three!

[GamingSinceForever]

If you own a Switch this is a no brainer, but I guarantee that Wolfenstein will be a good one.

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

I’ve got Destiny 2 pc and Mario Odyssey this week as well as my iPhone X pre order. I couldn’t be happier :)

[Prince_TFK]

Damn bro I will be ordering an iPhone X too. Good time to be alive with all the latest gadgets and new and awesome games.

[opinionated]

I bought all 3 😏

If I had to pick one it would be wolfenstein.

[Lighter9]

NOT Wildenstein.

[Platformgamer]

Absolutely Wolfenstein!
With super mario odyssey you give credit to a shitty console;
With AC origins you continue to finance a shitty brand.

[DrumBeat]

I'll be buying both AC: Origins and Wolfenstein. I left Mario back in the previous century, where he belongs.

[Ikenda]

I'll be playing both since i have a Switch and PS4 but if i had to choose one then it would be Mario hands down... Before i bought the Switch i played Horizon Zero Down and loved it and thought that i would never choose any other game instead of it... and then i played Zelda BOTW and realized that i should never choose any other game over a very good quality Nintendo game... Never again...

[Dark_Knightmare2]

I'm interested besides being able to climb pretty much everything in Zelda what else exactly did it do better than horizon in your opinion

[Ikenda]

Did you played Zelda?

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Yes my roommate had it and besides the climbing I mentioned the story,combat,graphics,characte rs and the world were def better in horizon.

[Ikenda]

The question was "did you played Zelda?". Let me be more specific on what i mean. Not watch it, not play it for 30 minutes, not learn about it. But play it like you played Horizon. I played it 6 months after its release and in the meantime i listen and read to everyones praising reviews and opinions and like you now i thought 'no way it is better then Horizon' for all the reason you said. And then i played it. From start to finish in about 40 hours... And then i couldn't stop and reached 125 hours and i have still things that i wanna do. It has that charm of a game like is my first game ever. I can't explain it any better. Graphics, story all those things matters less for me if they can't sustain this feeling while i play a game. And while Horizon did that for 40 hours until a platinum it BOTW did that fir 125 and keeps doing it. Zelda games always did that for me but BOTW did it 10 times more. I can only hope Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2 do the same. Ill be a very very happy gamer if that happens.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

My bad I should have worded it better yeah I played the game to completion since my roommate had it. I respect your opinion bro i understand what you mean I was the same way but opposite. I loved the climbing anywhere and exploring the world but horizons enemies,combat,story and characters just resonated with me more

[Ikenda]

Ok then you understand. As you choose Horizon over Zelda i choose Zelda over Horizon. But you know what is the best part? We both played both games ;-)

[SurgicalMenace]

I am a long time Zelda fan, but BOTW has not been able to hook me even after 40 hours. As a huge supporter of open world RPGs it's Horizon, Witcher, Nioh, Neir and Shadows for me. Perhaps the combat felt way too dated after playing games with more sophisticated systems. Assassin's Creed will be my choice over the other 2 games this round. Wolfenstein next. I will only get a Swith for Metroid like all my Nintendo consoles.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

lol yeah you're right that def is the best part

[Redemption-64]

AC and Wolfenstein for me

[Dark_Knightmare2]

It's not really difficult buy what interests you. I'm getting both wolfenstein and origins if I had a switch I would get Mario too.

[FallenAngel1984]

The one that interests you 😑

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Pre ordered ACO for the one x, gettin wolfenstein on the pro.

[Scatpants]

Clearly Mario, you don't need an article to tell you that.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Getting Super Mario Odyssey... Wolfenstien 2 is coming to the Switch in 2018, I will pick that up then... as for Assassin's Creed, I will probably never pick that up. Not my cup of tea, although the new one does look pretty cool with the Egypt setting

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Mario for my Switch and A.C. for my 1X. I'll pick up Wolfenstein later.

[Lilrizky]

All of them!!!

[BenjaMan64]

Blazko (Wolfenstein II) and Bayek (AC Origins) may be great heroes... but getting into a direct fight with The Plumber may not be a great idea.

[Takwin]

I preordered Mario and Assassin's Creed. Just finished Shadow of War and XCOM 2, trying to finish Divinity Original Sin 2 and Dishonored Outsider by the 27th.

Absolutely stellar year for gaming. Some loot box insanity along with games as a service prevalence, but you can find 1-3 titles per month all year, more than enough for almost anyone.

[jjb1981]

I think 95% of us can agree on this one. We all know the the answer.

[spartan112g]

All of them?

[Gemmol]

Mario.....get wolfenstein later on Switch

[RosweeSon]

All 3 but Mario is the only day 1 for me. I’ll grab the other 2 on the cheap

[Warshade]

Odyssey Day One. AC Origins after the patches and fixes come out.
Wolfenstein on a steam sale years later(Loved the first one but only played it a couple months ago).

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Wolfenstein all the way!
