I decided to give up on AC after being really disappointed with AC: Valhalla. I put about 50 hours into it as it was the first game I got with my XSX (had XSX since day 1)
saw that Origins was on gamepass so decided to give it a go given that I love ancient Egypt. Pretty much everything the game does, it does better than Valhalla. I HATED the loot system in Valhalla. Origins, on the other hand, handles it beautifully.
I don't understand how/why they decide to fuck something up like this. What is the thought process that goes behind this? why not improve upon the already great system, instead of swapping it out for something vastly inferior. was this done intentionally to motivate people to buy weapons through DLC/ubisoft store? they couldn't possibly think Valhalla was an upgrade in that department.
I feel like a lot of games do this, but I can usually understand some of the thought processes behind it. Skyrim's leveling system I thought was a downgrade from Oblivion, but I can kinda understand the appeal of simplifying it for a wider audience.
having way more fun than I thought I would with Origins. game also runs and looks great on the XSX.
