    [Day 45/60] Assassin's Creed Odyssey - Chapter 7: Part 3 - 'Picking Sides'

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 06:00 AM PDT

    AC Marathon 2020 - Day 45

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey - Chapter 7: Part 3 - 'Picking Sides'

    Hello, Assassins! Today, we'll be working with both Myrrine & Brasidas, but ultimately you'll have to choose a side. Then later, we'll be meeting up with a different Spartan, and we'll see the results of an earlier decision after another Conquest Battle ensues.

    Today's Targets: Lagos, 4 Boeotian Champions, Pausanias,


    ODYSSEY NOTES

    Please note, it is strongly recommended to play on New Game Plus. It'll be easier to keep up with the fast pace of the Marathon not having to worry as much about resources, money & gear, and leveling up your character and ship.

    During the Marathon, we will be playing the family story, and the First Civ story. We will not be covering the elimination of all the Cultists, only the ones as defeated during the other two story lines.

    With today's support quests in the *Judge, Jury, Executioner quest, while you can choose to do the quests for both Myrrine & Brasidas, you don't have to. You can choose to do only the quests for one or the other.*

    By far one of the best speeches in AC history. It truly shows how wise Ezio has become since his time as a Florentine noble

    Out of all the game covers Ubisoft could’ve “Hacked”‘I’m surprised they didn’t hack syndicate.

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 05:54 PM PDT

    Syndicate and watch dogs legion are both set in the same place. They're just in different time periods. Instead of the ezio collection they should've just hacked syndicates cover.

    Full Transcript of Assassin's Creed Odyssey

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 12:37 PM PDT

    Hi guys! Some time ago I passed Assassin's Creed Odyssey and I liked it so much that I made its transcript. It contains all the main missions and a good portion of the side quests. I don't know if you need it, but I think the script might help the discussion of the whole series.

    How big are we expecting vinland to be?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 06:52 PM PDT

    I can't imagine they would go to the effort of creating a region with different plants, fauna, peoples etc just for it to be a very brief and small location.

    Triggering double counter in Black Flag

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 07:19 PM PDT

    In AC3 and Rogue, the method of triggering double counter is very easily replicable and the result is always predictable: when being surrounded by at least 3 guards, counter disarm/throw one guy and the other 2 will attack at the same time. Recently i started replaying Black Flag and turned out this method didnt work, only 1 guy would attack. How do you guys do it?

    [Possible Spoilers] Legitimate Question: Why do people people dislike Jacob Frye but LOVE Evie Frye?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    BEFORE ANYBODY TYPES IT: I DO NOT DISLIKE HER BECAUSE SHE'S A FEMALE. AND SHE IS NOT (BY FAR) MY LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER. THAT PRIVALAGE GOES TO ARNO.

    I've been playing through all the Main AC games and I'm currently on Syndicate. Playing through it again I remembered one thing: I LOVE JACOB. His humor is good, reminds me of Ezio, and his motivations I can relate to. I've never really cared about the pieces of Eden, they just muddled the plot in my opinion. But the Templars were always there, doing something terrible that made me want to kill them. And what do you know: thats Jacob's goal too. Then there is Evie. There are things about her I really do like: her seriousness that helps carry the plot and her admiration for the assassins creed and all those who've carried the honor of mentor. But her first mission ruins that for me almost right away. Her hatred for just about everybody who isn't an assassin or a kid. Meaning her first interaction with Topping. She kills his captors and then proceeds to just leave him. What if he hadn't been a circus man? He'd probably be dead. Why? Because he would've gotten in the way? Because he wasn't apart of the mission? Then there's her second interaction with him. She treats him like a nobody, even though he's the reason she completed her mission. And her interactions with her brother sour that further. Sure her brother is a stubborn jack-ass from time to time, but he follows the creed in his own way, which reminds me of my favorite assassin, Edward. He makes mistakes, but he always tries to fix them or make amends. But Evie everytime without failure treats him like a little kid. Getting mad at him for what? Killing Templars? Not giving 2 shits about a piece of Eden? When he messes up? Which is funny considering at the beginningshe gets mad at him for destroying a coal train, which was basically empty. What did she do? Only destroyed the one thing that should probably NOT EVER be destroyed (AC Rogue). Sorry if I'm venting and its coming across as me just hating on a beloved character. But I just can't stand her character. Playing the game again, I just want to save all her missions until I absolutely have to. I'm mostlytyping this because everytime i look at reviews on syndicate, people talk about how Evie is the best AC character of all time and how Jacob is just the worst. And I feel that's unfair.

    I wished they would have redone way more animations for Valhalla than they actually did

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 10:47 AM PDT

    Sure there are lots of new and also improved animations, but some are still bad relicts from the last two games.

    From all the footage I've seen, there are several examples of this, which one would be movement up/down stairs or other inclines that still looks horrible. I wished they would've made some dedicated animations for that like Breakpoint did. Same for the sneaking, sprinting and some other animations.

    Also, I am not a fan how exaggerated Eivor swings their weapons. Like every swing seems to go in a radius of idk at least 270 degree, while I feel it should be more something between 150 to 180 degree. I want everything to feel way more realistic. Less exaggerated swings, less floating dodges, more animations in general.

    Still very excited for the game, but yeah these things kinda bother me.

    Regarding the version of Anvil Next 2.0 they're using in Valhalla. What do you guys think about this?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 07:00 PM PDT

    I discovered recently that not only Origins don't use the same engine build of Unity but neither does Odyssey (Origins use an older version and Odyssey is build on the Origins version). I was chatting with some dude on Twitter that said me that, it might not be true at all. That being said, looking through gameplays of Valhalla I can't help but notice that it looks more close to Odyssey than to Origins (Apart from animations and some other things) in terms of assets, color grading and open world feel in general. What do you guys think? Origins build or Odyssey build?

    What are your opinions on the philosophies of the Assassins and Templars?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 05:19 PM PDT

    Biases aside, which do you think is the best approach to humanity's survival and prosperity and overall success as a species?

    I'd always thought of the Templars as pretty generic bad guys until Assassin's Creed 3. After all, almost all of the Templars you kill end up being all 'mwahaha, power is mine and the strong rule the weak', more or less. Your targets are usually tyrants, or straight up a**holes that go around killing for sport and pleasure.

    But Haytham won me over. The fact that, for one, we couldn't distinguish much between him and the Assassins in his prologue speaks to how similar the two groups can really be - Charles Lee was the same, until he met Connor in the forest and was suddenly a raging psycho bad dude.

    It was Haytham's speech as he fights Connor that convinces me, and moments beforehand. Absolute freedom DOES invite chaos, because human beings are chaotic and cruel things. All an Assassin's idea of freedom does is either turn the world into a hellscape of disorder, or it just doesn't work at all. It's way too idealistic. All people have to be offered to live and make do is convenience, after all. So long as someone in power allows them that, and the illusion that they're the ones in control, then people are entirely content. Haytham is right - nobody wants responsibility. What do people do when things go wrong? They blame the ones in control. But what happens if they themselves are the only ones in control at all? They can't manage.

    Humans need leaders for that purpose, and an Assassin leader that's true to their ideals isn't any leader at all.

    Just thought I'd bring this little philosophical post up as I'm starting AC3: Remastered again, haha. Please don't take it too personally or politically.

    Why does Ubi thing time challenges are a good idea?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 03:32 PM PDT

    The sole point of playing a video game is to have fun. Time challenges changes the gameplay in a way where it's not only infuriating, it also isn't fun in the slightest and every flaw in the parkour becomes glaring. For example, you try to jump from rooftop to rooftop, you slightly miss and are hanging on by a ledge. You just dangle there for a second or two before finding the right spot to climb. Like "Yes lad, just fucking hang there you dolt." Tries to run across a railing, but nope. Ezio be like "Imma just hang on the rooftop. Wait now I'm on the roof. Now I'm hanging on the roof. Now I'm standing."

    This isn't an issue with the early games, all the games have it, it's at it's worst in the Kenway Sega. Why have wonky controls and timed missions? It isn't an issue with me being good either, because I am taking the correct route. You just have to land everything with absolute precision or the gameplay will trip over itself and be like "Idek what I'm doing. I'm just gonna dangle despite the fact you're moving the stick up"

    Just wanted to thank Darby

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 02:54 AM PDT

    Just joined Reddit recently and this was the first community I joined. I saw a post where someone talked about how inspirational Darby's writing was, and he basically summed up how I felt about his work in that post. I'm a writer too, and just wanted to say, Darby, if you see this somehow, I really think you're one of the best writers in the gaming industry. Assassins creed is one of my favorite franchises because of its overarching themes, and I feel like you express the humanity of the characters in these games with a lot of depth and heart. I'm super excited for Valhalla mainly because of the narrative, and I know you and the team worked hard to make it a memorable story. So thanks for some of my favorite memories in gaming and for what's surely gonna be a great journey in Valhalla!

    Russia and Constantinople for a potential year two?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 11:30 AM PDT

    I hope Ubisoft breaks the AAA RPG Expansion limit and supports Valhalla until the end of 2022 before the next game. I'd love to see Russia and it's slavic folklore and Constantinople.

    Valhalla has so many new and returning features that it would be very hard to go back to a more straightforward style of game (AKA Odyssey)

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 05:35 AM PDT

    I like Odyssey, don't get me wrong. It's not a terrible game, it's just not a great AC game. But it is very straightforward and limited in its ambition. The entire game is basically just killing enemies. There is very little in the way of mini games, investing your resources into anything other than weapons, and your ship.

    That's it. The entire game is go there, kill these guys, go here, do it again. It doesn't feel like the world of Greece is really alive. Not alive in the way I felt Monterigioni or my American homestead was alive. Or visiting a pub, solving crimes... It's just fight, fight and more fighting.

    Valhalla on the other hand...

    A fully upgradable and customizable home base

    Social stealth

    Customizable followers (Jormsvikings)

    Seiges/Fort battles

    Hunting

    Fishing

    Alliances with kingdoms

    Assassin buero

    Customizable ship, raven, mounts

    Animus anomalies

    Being able to shoot traps and hanging barrels

    Cairn stones

    Flyting

    Feasting

    There's just so much more depth to the mechanics and overall game. How could it be justified to go backwards after this?

    [Spoiler] Question about The ending and Animus in Odyssey.

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 06:03 PM PDT

    Since it's shown that Kassandra is alive in 2018. What would happen if she got in the animus? Would they be able to go further back than they've ever had before?

    How do the Tomb Mechanisms in Origins function? [Spoiler]

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 07:32 PM PDT

    How do the Isu Tombs Mechanisms in Origins work from a story perspective? The messages that are being said are only in relation to the modern day so clearly they are trying to communicating to Layla. But is it like Ezio in the vault from AC2 where they know the message is going to be received in the future through the Animus? Or is it just a glitch in the Animus like with the Trial of the Gods? I would assume the latter only because they mention Desmond's actions are the end of 3 being unforeseen which wouldn't make sense if the message was a result of time travel. Is there any agreed upon understanding of this?

    Will there be much focus on the mythologies in Valhalla, like with Origins and Odyssey

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 03:14 PM PDT

    It seems to be an unpopular, but I really loved how they tied the mythologies to being Isu experiments and technology. Battling things like Medusa, The Minotaur, finding mythological weapons and armor etc etc

    I know we can go to Asgard, but anything beyond that seems to be obscured right now.

    I'm just curious if there is more information out there about it? Because I see alot of posts and articles about how they scrapped most of that stuff.

    Cheers :)

    Is it possible for PvP to return to the AC franchise

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 10:33 PM PDT

    to this day i'm not sure why they stopped incorporating PvP. But after all these years, i have hope that MAYBE if you there's a high demand for it then Ubisoft might bring back an updated PvP like the one from Brotherhood. What do you guys think? Will we ever see PvP in AC again?
