Yeah, but there is just no way that Ubisoft would ever give Assassin's Creed, their biggest selling series, an 8 year gap between releases. The best you can ever hope to see is an 2 year gap between AC games with 4 years of development per game, maybe $120m budget per game. Ubisoft is never going to risk more than that. Their bottom line depends on yearly and bi-yearly releases, it is the only thing that protected them from being bought out by Vivendi long ago. 

What I'm saying is budget should be no excuse for Assassin's Creed Odyssey lacking immersion. Compare two games on what they deliver and not what budget they had to deliver on various fronts.

Indeed,the first Baldurs gate gives me more immersion than most of the assasins creed games combined.

Also kind of funny that Ubisoft is publishing South park games when everything in their own games looks to be so Political correct > Story.

My wife got me Odyssey for Christmas and I'm looking forward to playing it. Origins was very good and I've heard good things about Odyssey too.

That said, Red Dead Redemption 2 is simply levels above anything else I've ever played. I'm on chapter 6 right now with around 80 hours played and it's already my favorite game of all time. Such an immersive story and world with loads of quality content and stuff to do. I think the slow pace of the game compliments it perfectly.

And there is no excuse for RDR2 to have subpar gameplay, and missions more linear than naughty dog games. 



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Same here!!

Not bad at all for a game to be linear, and i do not even think rdr2 has much of it and the part it does have is in favor of the story so for this game i am thankfull it has linearity.

lol it has no subpar gameplay and there's variety in missions. There's nothing wrong with missions being more linear either. It adds fluidity to story delivery and makes them enjoyable to play. 



I liked RDR2 but when you talk about graphics and leave HDR out, major down on it, and you complain about the horse but forgets RDR2 almost had no gameplay per see then you were so in passion with the game that you didn't even see the glaring holes in the game, that is at most a walking simulator with great ambience.

Plus the horse riding on RDR2 is quite bad in many aspects, as in the horse throwing itself in trees, the lag in input, some terrain issues and disappearing hunt when you entered some cutscenes for some missions.

And I won't even touch the final quarter of the history and the epilogue that were terrible because they had to tie to the history they already had written for RDR1.

Thing is, I really didn't like the firsr RDR as I really dislike the theme. I tried to like it. I started it twice and the second time I got a good chunk through but it was not that great an experience.. The player controls were off as well so it was like guiding a tank.
Now assassins creed has its faults too but overall because I like the theme better I would pick that over playing RDR2 any day.

Eh.. RDR2 is at most a walking simulator? Now I've heard it all.. care to elaborate at all?

I thought horse riding is quite good, I haven't even used fast travel much because of it. It's only a handful of times I've crashed into something but it usually leads to some funny moments. I like it that you can switch to cinematic camera and just hold A while enjoying a conversation or a song while riding. 

 

edit. And thanks for not touching the final quarter and the epilogue. Some of us haven't finished it yet :P



I don't want either, I don't like westerns and I got assassin creedouted last year by playing Black Flag and won't want more of it any time soon.
