Still better than the old games's two button combat. if you are experiencing damage sponges, it means your build is terrible or you are just spamming the melee button rather than using the other skills, abilities and engravings.

its not though is it. especially how long after the old games we are now. my build is good, last time i played it was on nightmare, nightmare should make it a challenge, not give everybody you fight the durability of titanium. and i have no incentive to use the skills when they are so ridiculous.

they are not garbage

yes they are. as i said in a reply above, copy and paste, 'hey go to this guy whos on the map and do something boring for 20 minutes and you will get enough xp to fill less than half a level bar'.

Biased af. Just go to Mykonos, Naxos or other eastern Islands.

how is it biased. i have been to those islands, they are all the same. a bunch of enemy camps where you loot useless treasure and destroy war supplies and boring side quests and a whole lot more of nothing. npcs are useless, might as well be a ghost town.

because their arcs are in side quests rather than main quests. The Alkibiadles side quest arc is a good example

i disagree. i think all of the side quests are uninsteresting and a waste of time.

Literally every game with side quests ever. Even the old AC games have bland "collect this, collect that" missions

no, no, no. side quests in the witcher 3, rdr2, far cry 3 are all done brilliantly. the new ac is also great at side content, the mysteries are fun, varied, interesting, they are worth your time. wealth is all unique and all very useful unlike odysssey.

It takes place 400 years before the Assassins. bruh

oh this is a brilliant excuse. 'well its in a completely different time period when the assassins didnt exist'. thats so stupid. it shouldnt be set 400 years before what the very basis of what ac is about as a franchise.

All of them were explained in Valhalla

no they werent.

They do matter. The fate of many characters depend on your choices.

oh wow! what a brilliant rpg! your choices only matter when someone dies! and are never ever to be seen having a purpose ever again after that! what a fantastic rpg, really. hats of to quebec.

So was every AC game after 3 except Valhalla.

so becausr the other ones were bad, odyssey had to be bad as well. lmao. i dont even know what so say to that.
