It's still a stealth action game if if you play it that way:
Nothing about the game's design resembles an MMO aside from surface level similarities since both genres rely on RPG mechanics.

Going by what Alex(from giantbomb) and Austin(from Waypoint) said about the game, 80-90 hours only felt like 2/3 of the game, and considering how you need to do sidequests for xp and how an 80s score in this day and age means not good enough to the masses, I'd consider it an okay game.
Saying he's homophobic (which he is) would be prt of the "legitimate concerns about the content creator".
edited. i don't want to derail the thread, sorry if what i said was offensive too.
Ive thought about this but do we really think this is happening?
I mean I enjoyed the video this thread is about but according to some people I shouldn't be allowed to it seems lol.
I asked for a source that would make him a clear cut racist like that other poster claimed and I'm not seeing such a thing. But thanks for providing it anyway.
I meant generally astroturfing is a thing. But on ERA doubt it. Though some of the rabid posts make me wonder at times.
I always thought he wasn't white but after searching he's indeed white. So yeah, no excuse for the n-word.
That's not saying much, argueably.

It has always been a thing, publishers would be stupid to not even try, it's not like it would cost much and couldn't be massively effective.
The fun part is this kind of places breed corporate advocates anyway so...
For someone attacking people younger than them you seem to be much more immature and childish.
Erm, that very first kill the guy turns invisible from a skill not unlike any other rogue class in an MMO. Bad example to prove your point haha
How do I stealth those Athens vs Sparta battles my friend?
The entire point of modern Ubisoft games is their sidequests. There's a reason the entire story progression system in Far Cry 5 is controlled by the player doing random sidequests. Also, "an 80s score in this day and age means not good enough to the masses" is just plain silly.
What? RDR1 is a technical train wreck. The game is held together with sellotape.
.
the gameplay is not even close.
If that's the case, the sidequests should be better than they are. Unfortunately, they're really not very good and they don't justify dragging the game out way past its welcome.
You wouldn't say that if you had to grind 40 to 50 hours of level 50 content in FFXIV to get to the expansion pack content.
In contrast to most other MMO's, you can't just jump to the expansion after it comes out. You must have finished the whole storyline and every single-instance, normal group instance and raid-instance if they were part of the story.
I wasn't in that position, but my buddy, who started new on FF14, could do the 1 to 50 stuff in 2 days and the level 50 stuff in 8 days before he had access to the expansion.
Which was further complicated by all the solo instances where I couldn't help.
I'm very early on but so far I'm enjoying it. I can't speak to the end game comment, however I'm playing it in "exploration mode" and just wandering around doing quests as I find them. I actually find it kind of relaxing to just explore the world at my own pace. If this becomes a thing in games I'm all for it. I plan on playing rdr 2 the same way.
I think it's a bit ridiculous how people accuse others of being company shills and ignoring the problem that are MTX but then proceed to gush over RDR2, a game made by Rockstar, a company with one of the worst track records in the industry when it comes to treatment of it's employees. Which is on a whole another level of being ignored.
MMOs invented the rogue class now? Like, did you really blatantly ignore the part where I specified, "aside from surface level similarities due to RPG mechanics"
By using the assassin moves that let you do assassin damage while in open combat my good ol pal. Some of the most useful abilities in the game.
You are clearly far to invested in this video game to think rationally if you think I've done any of that. I don't think I've even mentioned the 'grind' one way or another, nevermind lecture anyone on it.
He might be a homophobe, he also might be an uneducated moron who simply doesn't know better. Since he doesn't seem to have used the word since that instance the possibility of the latter being the case is something I won't handwave away just because you made up your mind already. I don't think it's a case as clear cut as you make it out to be.
And I wouldn't have suggested the mods to take a clear stance if I wouldn't have taken into account that he might get an Era-wide content ban. I don't think it would be right but that's up to the mods.
That's completely irrelevant and quite frankly absurd. A reviewer doesn't give it high 8s or 9s if they didn't enjoy the game but it's completely pointless discussing whether Odyssey is a good game or not with somebody who hasn't played it so I'll leave it there.
It's even funnier when you consider the game isn't even out yet. I'm certainly expecting it to be better than Odyssey but how anyone can genuinely make comparisons to something that isn't released yet is insane.

I have to disagree with the premise that the sidequests are "really not very good", respectfully. I can't speak for all the sidequests in AC: Odyssey because I haven't played enough of the game, but in Far Cry 5's case they're overall excellent. The ones I have played so far in Odyssey have been great.
I do dislike RPG level gating, all things considered. I dislike it in Bethesda games, too. I'm old school. I'm a STALKER fan. I think a weapon should do just as much damage regardless of whom is holding it.
Hasn't used the word? Have you missed the tweet I linked? He apparently like to use it in private, at least in 2015 it seems.
Maybe read the post I was responding to? Anyway I already thanked oyu for the effort.
You are totally free to make the thread about RDR2, you have my sword. But we should wait for the game to come out and see the full extent of the damage.
Wait, this forum recently had a giant thread about how the American review system is a broken mess and goes from a scale of 75 - 100 and now all of a sudden I'm wrong and moving goalposts? Go ask any random person what their favorite 8.0 games are and ask them if they thought those games were amazing or just okay.
I like this take.
Everybody on this forum is being paid by a company to both shill and talk shit about its competitors. Everything makes sense now.
"If your willing to look past all these bugs and repetitive missions and microtransactions there is a middling open world underneath."
God dam not pulling any punches I see.

These games just smack of having too much ambition and not enough time to properly pull it off. I swear they would be better making the games more focused and shorter instead of tryin to cram every single part of a huge map with stuff to do. Similar with Far Cry. I'm sure there's plenty of people who get tens of hours of enjoyment but to me the games are just too bloated and try to do too many things instead of doing a core set of things really well. The systems are all serviceable but none of them are best in class.
Because they've shifted from narrative driven games to monetization driven games. They want games that monopolize your time and your wallet.
I mean, how Rockstar treats its employees is well documented. It's notorious. We don't need RDR2 to release to know that.
Him saying the F word once a year ago does not a homophobe make. Unless you can provide other examples?
It's mostly just two people. And it's a bit out of control.
had to flip the usual hot take on its head. Fuck paying to promote, how about paying to shit on.
There's more story content in AC:Odyssey than any other AC game. Arguably no other AC game provides as much lore as it does.
You know what I think of when I think, "we should go away from narrative." I think of a game made with the largest writing team of any iteration in that franchise.
They're going way from linear narrative, not narrative in general.
I never said he hasn't used the word.
Him saying the F-word in 2015 doesn't mean he's a homophobe today. There are a shitton of people who just don't know better and need to be educated on what that word stands for and how it has an actual impact on people in real life instead of using it as a replacement for calling someone dumb or whatever. If you don't have anybody in your firend circles that call you out on that shit then you won't learn to not use it.
I've worked with a lot if young people who use homophobic language without intending any ill will towards gay people. You have to make them aware. Dunkey hasn't used the word in quite some time, so as long he doesn't do it again the possibility that he was an idiot that learned the meaning and gravity behind the word and therefore isn't using it anymore exists, and as long that possibility exists I won't call him a homophobe.
It's more that they've shifted away from linear, force-fed-to-the-player narrative towards this idea of having a thousand different stories that the player wanders out in the world to experience at their own pace.
Not only in the song. There is another video of him Shouting "KILL THAT N"
You think any publisher is actually afraid of releasing against this year's AC and not Red Dead fucking Redemption?
The tweet I linked referenced the N-word, not the F-word.
Edit: Ah never mind your original post referred to the F-word that "he hasn't used since", I mixed that up.
If only MGSV didn't have a lifeless and terrible open world
Origins was a completely finished game, it's an objective truth
Yikes
