• How would you feel about Assassin's Creed Odyssey 2?

  Assassin's Creed Odyssey is still the most played Assassin's Creed game, 7 years after its release, with an average 3.500 active players on Steam over the past month, compared to around 2.500 active players for Shadow and around 1.500 active players for Valhalla and Origins. Since Ubisoft's attempt at a slam dunk by setting the Assassin's Creed series into a long-awaited feudal Japan setting has obviously been a miss, why not attempt the next logical slam dunk move and give the people a sequel to their most popular recent game? And there is actually a perfect setting for a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Athens' disastrous Sicilian campaign of 415BC (around 7 years after the end of Odyssey). This would set the game in Magna Graecia, pictured below: Magna Graecia, around 5th century BC If you are unfamiliar with the history of the Sicilian campaign, it's actually hilarious. For example, it includes Alcibiades (who was supposed to lead the entire expedition) getting summoned back into Athens to a trial for sacrilege because he got shitfaced and defaced some statues with obscene graffiti the night before he embarked. Alcibiades pretends to be cooperative, but escapes before reaching Athens and defects to the Spartans. And that is just one of many hilarious failures Athens made during the expedition. Extending the map a little to the north would include the early Roman republic and extending it a little to the south would include Carthage and that would make the map a lot more diverse than Greece in Odyssey and also provide an opportunity to connect the lore of Odyssey to the lore of Origins. Naval combat would still be a big feature, but there would be no war mechanic since, unlike mainland Greece, most of Magna Graecia did not side with either side in the Peloponnesian war (and besides, Athens and Sparta were technically at peace at this time). So maybe the game could focus more on piracy and independent mercenary work? How do you feel about this idea? Would you play it? I'm hoping this idea can make its way to an Ubisoft employee who can pitch it to their executive and turn it into reality. submitted by /u/iVar4sale to r/AssassinsCreedOdyssey [link] [comments]

• We Can't have every single historical setting in Assassin's Creed

  Over the years, The Parkour in Assassin's Creed has been severely downgraded. We like to criticize Ubisoft for that but what If I told you, it's actually our fault too, because we were the ones who demanded Ancient Egypt, Greece and Japan.

  I don't remember who he really was, but I know that somebody who worked on Assassin's Creed once said "Egypt, Japan and WW1 would be worst settings for AC". Well, he wasn't lying.

  Isn't it strange that AC Shadows gets every gameplay pillar right except for parkour? Combat is fun and enjoyable, Stealth is, in my opinion, one of the best in the series, world is stunning and exploration is decent. But Parkour, Shallow and Boring. A lot of people say Unity was the pinnacle of Parkour. While that can be true, you can't just Paste Unity's Parkour into a world with wide streets and call it a day. Syndicate and Unity Parkour Systems are exactly the same, but Unity finds itself at the top, Syndicate at the bottom. The problem lies in the world design. One has narrow streets, another has wide.

  Settings like Egypt and Japan do not support Parkour very well. They are interesting to explore, but terrible when you judge them as an AC Game Open World.

  Then there's another aspect, The Odyssey Thing. Some people just like to explore ancient Worlds, very ancient, the time when The Hidden Ones weren't even formed.

  I even saw one guy who said Ancient Sumer/Mesopotamia would be a great AC Setting. That is just nonsense imo: 1.Basically No Parkour, the game would become Ghost of Tsushima where there are a lot of empty environments and only 5 small buildings per settlement. 2.The Hidden Ones weren't formed, it would be just another Odyssey, just another IP Milking.

• WWII

  I saw a video clip on YouTube of an AC game set in WWII. Does anyone know what the name of it is?

• All of the (major) hidden blades in the franchise

  The iconic piece of equipment used by the Brotherhood of Assassins and its predecessors. I really wish more of these things would make in-game appearance or return because they are pretty cool. Just making this because I’m bored.

  • Hidden Blade: The original classic. Blade extends from a wrist gauntlet or strap to stabby stabby.

  • Poison Blade: A hollowed-out needle that can deliver a dose of poison.

  • Hidden Gun: The standard hidden blade with a little wheelock gun hidden inside the gauntlet.

  • Two-Pronged Blade: A blade with two thinner prongs. No idea how that is superior to one big blade.

  • Extended Blade: I don’t think they give this thing a name, but it’s the one Ezio uses. The blade extends from an also-extending metallic piece, allowing it to be way longer.

  • Hidden Bolt: A predecessor to the phantom blade, it was pretty much just a mini crossbow.

  • Hidden Footblade: A blade on the foot. That’s it.

  • Hookblade: Made of two parts - the hook and the blade. The hook slides down the blade toward the base as it experiences pressure, allowing the blade to push through.

  • Pivot Blade: A blade with a grip attached to it. It can spin on the metallic piece which is what’s attached to the extending mechanism itself.

  • Phantom Blade: An improvement over the hidden bolt, it is also a mini crossbow, but still allows for a blade to be on the mechanism.

  • Trident Blade: An unnecessarily brutal modification, two extra blades extend to the side of the main blade.

  • Assassin Gauntlet: A monstrosity of a device that would become widespread amongst the order. It has brass knuckles, a dart launcher, and a grapple hook.

  • Shock Blade: An upgrade over the two-pronged blade, it is both a blade and a taser.

  There are, like, a kajillion other versions of this thing and every guild has designed their own, slightly different version of it, even if it’s just the look or whether or not the blade is serrated. I hope Ubisoft does more with making cool versions of the thing, even if it doesn’t serve much of a gameplay purpose, like the pivot blade.

• I'm a little sad to be finished...it's time to start again!

• Just Finished the Main Story of Shadows. My thoughts:

  Just finished the main story today, and I have to say...I'm unsure how to feel about the game.

  Pros:

  1. The scenery is beautiful. Easily the best looking game, though that's not surprising.

  2. The combat was some of the best in the series.

  3. The missions toward the beginning and end of the game were pretty fun, at times. The character-specific missions were also some of the most interesting in the game.

  Cons:

  1. No Isu/modern day lore. You can't end on Valhalla's cliffhanger and then refuse to propel the story forward.

  2. The missions in the middle of the game are a slog...so much so that once you get back into some more interesting missions, you're left wondering who the hell half the characters are again.

  3. Having to go back into castles/forts that you were just in for a mission -- only to have to kill the daimyo to complete the location -- is frustrating.

  4. Naoe's story feels incredibly incomplete, while Yasuke's feels proper.

  5. The side activities are way too repetitive (I'm looking at you, "temple praying")

  6. The map is way too tedious to traverse at times.

  7. While some of the missions were fun, the storyline itself is pretty bland. No twists/surprises, at least not at the same level as some of the previous games.
