games don't have to reinvent the wheel to be spectacular. GoT is immersive and more enjoyable than any other release in this shitty year.

I didn't finish Assassin's Creed Odyssey but I had a good amount of fun exploring Ancient Greece for a while, and then I dropped it when I got bored.
I'm close to dropping GoT but it was fun for a while.

When you force yourself to finish a game, that's not enjoying yourself, that's a fucking job.

jin is cute!

>waaah waaah i want a game movie booo

but it's the good oldschool asscreed. at least regarding the climbing and like, two "follow npc via rooftops" missions.

Why is there no lock-on in this game?

Playing through act 1 I thought it was a damn brilliant game, but once act 2 started I just totally lost all steam. The game is so fucking repetetive, and it gets way too easy once you unlock a bunch of skills and resolve, except for the duels which are insane difficulty spikes. They’re also by far the best thing about the game, and there’s hardly any, at least by comparison of big open fights against hordes of mongols.

the point of the pasta isn't just that it's repetitive, it's just shit

What did you expect. All AAA games these days use a template.

Because the game's combat involves "locked" animations and there's no verticality outside of Jin doing the Assassin's Creed dive-assassination from rooftops.
DMC/Bayonetta need lock on because doing an animation doesn't lock you into a stylish clash with an enemy, Bayonetta will throw a punch and the enemy will recoil, but it isn't like Ghost of Tsushima or Assassin's Creed where there is a set animation to the MC swinging their weapon and the enemy blocking or reacting to it. Bayonetta and Dante also need to jump to attack enemies in the air a lot, not to mention they have way more complexities in their moveset that contextualize directional input simultaneously to being locked on or not locked on.

>They’re also by far the best thing about the game, and there’s hardly any,

And what duels are there seem very samey. Yes. I haven't played the game, but I watched some boss compilations, and I swear, a lot of the bosses share a pool of moves, like when they sheathe their sword during a duel, then do a follow-up attack. The only boss that seems significantly different is the big Kahn guy with his glaive.
Can't say anything about the difficulty since I haven't fought them, but they do look samey as fuck.
Where are the bosses with the different weapons? Where is the boss with a big hammer, or a club or a kusarigama or dual blades or any other weapon?

>Where are the bosses with the different weapons? Where is the boss with a big hammer, or a club or a kusarigama or dual blades or any other weapon?

That sounds like actual work, bro. They're already too busy copying and pasting the same buildings into quasi-random arrangements for you to slaughter every enemy to liberate a territory.

Can i get someone to talk about the combat? Fuck stealth
How is it?

Wait for real?

never has a more mediocre video game been propped up by autists just to fuel their hatred for another video game from the same publisher

If you have played an Assassin's Creed game, especially either of the two modern RPG ones, it will seem intimately familiar, especially since so much of the moves are cribbed and even organized like Odyssey's.
>sword attack
>heavy sword attack
>you can switch stances which makes your heavy sword attack better against stunning sword users, shield users, spear users, big enemies respectively
>parry/block
>side step/dodge roll
>you can use a bow, or throwable gadgets like knives or bombs for breathing room
>you can learn a few special moves that use the "resolve"(basically a special stamina meter that you also use to heal)

It's not much deeper than any AAA game, the focus is on looking cool.

Shimura didn't deserve any of this. He was beyond based. Jin is a piece of shit. At least they give you the choice to redeem him a little bit at the very end.

>Nagoshi said cool game but Jin was not hot enough to waste AAA budget on him
I think he is plenty hot

Like other posters have said, it’s basically a more refined ass creed combat system (with all the annoyance that can entail like no lock on/enemies sliding towards you from three metres away even if you dodge them because that’s how the animations work)
It’s fun at first, but by the end they give you so many ‘I win’ tools and buttons(I’m talking at least 10 if not well more) you need to actively gimp yourself for any semblance of enjoyment. The game desperately needed some ‘endgame’ enemies that FORCED you to use the tools at your disposal because as it stands all the enemies are trivialised, doubly so when you take into account that using a stance for a corresponding enemy turns them into an enemy with all the threat of a wet noodle. So yeah. It really needed SOMETHING to add some difficulty to the fights by the middle of the second act where you get all of your tools and the upgrades you unlock just start trivialising things.

>They’re also by far the best thing about the game
There are only 3 types of duels.
General that they decided to turn into a duel, so it's like a normal general except you only have half your normal moveset.
Person with sword, and they all share the same moveset. Actually, I'm not sure they do, but I can't actually think of anything that disproves that, they all feel the same.
Final boss.
Duels were terrible.

open world games being repetitive? holy shit what a scoop

Sold this game a few days ago. Blew its load early on. Literally nothing new happens after the first region

Does anyone else think the story would have been better if Jim woke months after the battle of komoda beach instead of 3 days? The game simultaneously portrays tsushima as if it just got conquered and also has been under occupation for longer

>games don't have to reinvent the wheel to be spectacular.
Which is why it's impressive that this game didn't even meet that low ass bar.

How the fuck is a dude going to survive in a coma for months in the 13th century?
