Assassin's Creed Odyssey's open-world adventure through ancient Greece is a gorgeous thrill, and the best the series has ever been.
In an unusual pairing, Assassin’s Creed Is Coming To Reverse: 1999.
Ubisoft buying their way to the top. They always have the shittiest advertisement ideas, like flooding videos and comment sections with obvious bots.
Obviously they do or there would not be the hits on it. Even Google picked it up for their news feed.
More developers need to focus on what makes open-world games like Elden Ring and RDR2 pop, instead of focusing on needless map expansions.
Open world games need a overhaul in general.
Go here - kill this target
Go here - fetch this
Clear this camp
Add dozens of filler side quests
Tack on a RPG skill tree
Finish up with a couple of hundred collectables
98 percent of open world games follow this game design and it's boring now after nearly a decade of following this same design.
Maybe they know what it takes to make an engaging open-world, but they won't. For most publishers, managers probably get bonuses for finding ways to cut corners.
yes. Every ubisoft like is overly large map. just to say it's huge with nothing in it.
Love'em or hate'em a yakuza game is a significantly smaller map, with a lot of side activities and absurd quest lines.trying the different restaurants in game can be enjoyable as they offer different buffs, do that or make traversal so good you wouldn't dare fast travel ie Spiderman
Stellar Blade says hello.
The only quality game to come out this year.
While true, that one's not a full open-world. Pretty much like God of War Ragnarok.
Not sure how everyone judges this. If that's the case, that would mean even The Witcher 3 isn't open world and just semi maps slowly unlocked.
Was with you until the only quality game part. Plenty of great games this year. It also came out last year
Some are great some are not. That’s the same for any genre. There are tons of Metroidvania’s, some are great some are not, souls games etc etc
A fullscreen pop-up ad appeared in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for some players this week.
Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.
Congratulations, A technical error In displaying ads while playing.
EU consumer law needs to chew these assholes a new one.
The big note here is the built in ad-displays during gameplay and not that they happened. Start screen, cool. Gameplay? That shouldn't ever happen.
"Start screen, cool."
Uhm, no. Start screen very much NOT cool either. There really need to be new laws implemented banning these companies from shoving ads down out throats at every opportunity they see fit.
For free to play which is a market of games needing monetization through different venues. In those games this stuff is fine by me. But when you pay ..20, 40 ,60, or $70 that's when it is not okay to any degree.
That's not a technical error. An ad can't be displayed mid-game without you creating the code/tech to make that possible first.
Wow.....impressive score. Time to preorder.
Nice, can't wait to play it. I loved Origins.
Yep, looks good to me. Probable get it on release...
IGN get nice gifts from ubi. Best check sites who don't get bribes. It would appear to be getting 8's and 9's so......
