Assassin's Creed Origins set in Egypt

This is not a fun game.

Combat is bland and unitative, your making an AC game, don't steal Dark souls controls.
Enemies are either a joke or impossible
Everything is brown or gold,
Story is a mess, I just don't care about any character.
Controls suck, same button the stupid bird as well as a search mode ?
Travel is long and boring.
The map is cluttered with other idiots screenshots, who thought this was a good idea?
Quest don't tell you the level until after you accept them.
Characters are fucking stupid......have you got to princess Kara yet?
Level grinding just to move the story forward? Do they know what franchise this is?
Fighting on horse back is very sloppy

It's not bad just not fun. Play something else whil you wait for this to $25 after Christmas.


This comes from someone who plated the last 3 ac games.

It has a very different feel to it, no doubt. The visuals are quite astounding. The gameplay reminds me sort of that Far Cry element to it too.

You guys are making this really hard to commit to a purchase... lol. I so want this game to be an awesome revamp, but thinking I'll stay in Dark Souls world for a while and wait for a sale.

It's a weird game for sure - if it wasn't AC, I think it would be received better. It's basically Witcher Lite in Egypt - almost nothing feels "AC" thusfar besides the climbing simulator parts.

I can't see most AC fans liking it though.

OK, so the guy I told you i sorta quasi kinda vicariously know who was a lead artist on this game, sent me a link to this article after I asked him about feedback of their work so far, in general. He feels they rocked it hard on art and immersion, but that the story meetings were beyond frustrating and he and others stopped going and/or tuned-out after month 2. He's a great guy and I feel badly for him. But seems like it's corporate group think in action.

Reaching out towards the past in Assassins Creed Origins

Yeah I don't have any downloadable content or pre-order bonus purchased and I'm having an OK time with the difficulty. It's still pretty brute force though, but it's not wipe out an army without breaking a sweat easy either. The story is ok for me, meaning that it gives a decently compelling reason to keep progressing forward to the next hub. But, I am honestly one that could give a shit about story in the first place, so that's good enough for me. I personally like the battle system. I have found I really enjoy the dual wield weapons the most and the two handed axe for times when I'm surrounded by shield wielding guys and horseback battles (which do kind of suck by the way).

The moments you get sucked back into present day are really jarring to me, but not long enough to really impede. I spent some time going through all the files, but I really didn't care that much, but really the things you absolutely have to do in present really are no longer than 5-10 minutes, so that's not too bad.

As someone who absolutely hates stealth gameplay, this game is doing a very decent job of satisfying that open world RPG itch, but I can totally see where this game would absolutely grate on people who actually liked the stealth assassin game that this is series is kind of named for. But if they are going for an action RPG feel, they need to fully commit to it. The skill and level system are very basic, and the itemization is vanilla as well. Yep it will piss off long time fans, and rightfully so, but to go half cocked is just going to leave everyone kind of alienated. However, it's definitely enjoyable enough for me to keep playing until I no longer find it to be so. Whether that is in the next section or two or all the way to the end, I don't know yet. But I do not regret my purchase so far. (Keep in mind this is my very first AC game though)
