On the 16th July 2019, Assassin's Creed Odyssey's season pass content came to an end with the release of the final episode in the Atlantis DLC saga. Spread out over the course of more than nine months (Odyssey launched on the 5th October, 2018), the season pass was clearly designed to keep players coming back.
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.
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.
This Canada Day, explore our homeland with the best video games that have adapted or reimagined the Great White North in digital form.
I enjoyed this game and its combat thoroughly, but by the end I was burned out and I really just wanted to move onto something else.
I wish that flipping territories had some story significance; that would have really made their existence compelling.
I'm going to wait for when the complete game goes on sale. AC games are cool, but they get that UBI cheap feeling after awhile.
No you dont get it, is there any season pass worth it? So far only The Witcher 3 did presented high quality expansions, the rest of industry either completing the story of missing parts or just milking it.
AC Odyssey has been a thorough experience. An excellent compelling journey loaded with plenty to do. I have yet to complete the game, only 40 hours in. Sure, the missions are formulaic, but they're so engaging. No repetition fatigue for me.
Was any of the DLC any good? I'm thinking of getting one of the storylines.
