Twinfinite: "Armed with a copy of the game, we set about measuring the map to find-out just how big the open world of Assassin's Creed Odyssey really is. The results are impressive."

We all want to know how bug is Red Dead Redemption.

REDGUM2401d ago

There are bugs in RDR2 as well? The detail they went to in this game!!

LOL.

Tankbusta402401d ago

It IS possible to be interested in BOTH games...

starchild2401d ago

I know right? I am going to enjoy both games.

UNCHARTED2FANATIC2400d ago

I want to know how bug is fallout 76.

alexgibson2400d ago

I will be measuring how bug every open world game is, don't worry ;)

jonivtec2400d ago

A bigger reason to repeat everything again and again.Im done with assassins creed for a while.I dont understand people spending 70$ to play the same game year after year with cople of modify textures en npg.

starchild2400d ago

Well, because what you're saying isn't true. It's a generic criticism people use to attack something when they don't have anything else to use. Origins, in fact, was at least as distinct from Syndicate as Uncharted 4 or Uncharted The Lost Legacy were from previous Uncharted games, or most other games in other series compared to their previous games. To be clear, I'm not criticizing Uncharted, just using it as an example, because the same is true of the majority of other long running series.

It's fine if you just don't like Assassin's Creed or have grown a little tired of it, but just say that. Don't insult other people for liking it or make false claims about it staying the same.

RDR2 V odyssey.Who's bigger?

MrPickles20182400d ago

I still think the AC Origins should have explored more The ancient Egypt...more DLC's...not just jump to another AC game...

The Open-World Genre In Gaming Has A Quantity Over Quality Problem

More developers need to focus on what makes open-world games like Elden Ring and RDR2 pop, instead of focusing on needless map expansions.

KyRo242d ago

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.

anast242d ago

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.

IAMRealHooman242d ago

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

YourMommySpoils242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

Stellar Blade says hello.

The only quality game to come out this year.

exputers242d ago

While true, that one's not a full open-world. Pretty much like God of War Ragnarok.

YourMommySpoils242d ago

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.

Technically, we wanted more money.

bradfh522d ago

Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.

Kaii522d ago

Congratulations, A technical error In displaying ads while playing.
EU consumer law needs to chew these assholes a new one.

TheColbertinator522d ago

At this point the entire EU commission must be bribed

Christopher522d ago

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.

Yi-Long521d ago (Edited 521d ago )

"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.

Crows90521d ago

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.

jznrpg521d ago

Start screen not cool either

walken7522d ago

They're testing the waters, vote with your wallets.

porkChop522d ago

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.
