      That’s a shame. A good two-thirds of that video is straight up false, which is basically the modus operandi of HGT, just shit on everything because it makes people share the video more. Odyssey’s great fun, well worth the purchase.

         I disagree and back up the trailer. I tried very hard to get into this game as the setting is one of my favourite.

         It’s is shit and obviously fundamentally designed to push the player into wanting to buy MTs. Trash

            It’s plainly not designed to push people into MTX. As with Origins, you don’t need store boosts or items to keep up at all – the items are always below the curve and the boosts are completely unnecessary if you make even the slightest effort to actually complete locations you’re sent to and not just rush the quests.

            As you noted in your own review, you found the game too difficult and chose to grind to try to overlevel the content in hopes of making it easier, but Odyssey doesn’t work that way. In fact, the fact you can’t overlevel content is one of the reasons why boosts are unnecessary, there’s no incentive to use them.

            I appreciate that that was your experience, but with utmost respect, the fact you weren’t good at the game isn’t indicative of a bad game or bad pacing, it’s just that for you, the game isn’t right. I’m certain you’re talented at other games that I suck at so I genuinely mean no slight against you that this particular one wasn’t your forte.

   These “honest trailers” have become rubbish of recent times. You can tell when he hasn’t played/watched something.

   It makes some good points but also tries to score some cheap ones too so can see why people both like & dislike it.

   It’s in a bit of a strange place for me now, the AC series; the gameplay has been improved to the best it’s ever been (at least imo – although admittedly I preferred Origins skills/combat to Odyssey) but when you scratch the surface the latest games have the depth of a puddle and just aren’t really all that memorable. The ‘what’ you’re doing is far better than the ‘why’, but after doing that ‘what’ for so many hours across Origins/Odyssey I’m just so bleurgh about it really going forward – if you said there’d be no more AC games at this point i’d just shrug?

   Telling point is how I remember far more of the story beats and set-pieces from the original AC & Ezio’s games than I do from the latest titles. The later games may be technically superior and are fun whilst playing until the repetition takes hold, but they don’t resonate long term & are easily forgettable, at least for me – style over substance if you will?
