Rockstar didn't squeeze an extra special something out of the Xbox One X. The X has had a significant advantage in most third party games for a while now. Where have you guys been?
@bruhaha: not the guy you replied to but I 100% Origins last year and all the dlc and have put around 70 hours into Odyssey. Not far into red dead but so far the gameplay and slow, plodding pace is far worse than the new AC games "grind" reviewers were ranting about.
@sethmode: I've put 50ish hours into Odyssey and it hasn't felt grindy once. Its a RPG, its supposed to be long. No one complains about Persona 5 being "grindy" or DQ11 or TW3. The level gating is almost the same as Origins and there was hardly any mention of it being grindy last year from most people in the video game media and it also had a time saver microtransaction like all AC games have since like 4. Its just weird that now in 2018 its a big deal because its cool to be outraged by all microtransactions however worthless they are.
@sethmode: basically. It's been no secret what Odyssey is. It's more Origins with more variety and it's building upon those same systems like Brotherhood did off AC2. If you didn't want more Origins and another long RPG that's not the games fault. The other misconception the video game media has been spreading is that there is some long grind when it's not any worse than Origins or any other RPG.
so they can criticize the game but we're not allowed to criticize their opinions? Got it.
@ripelivejam: that would be the fault of the user not the game. You can't blame the game because you're playing something you don't want to play/don't enjoy anymore.
@entireties: yea, it's a very lazy criticism. It's even more mind boggling considering he said he loved Origins. Odyssey is basically just Origins with more variety, better side quests and characters.
