Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Out of curiosity did anyone here actually get it on Steam? I usually would, but I couldn't resist the 20% off.

Would be even better if the RB plus A attack didn’t keep changing between full and windowed screen!!! Will try my wired controller.

Hoping when I try it tonight with a wired controller and a restart that RB+A doesn't keep switching between windowed and full screen. So weird, can literally find nothing related to this online. Updated my drivers too, hopefully smoothed things out. Going to try everything maxed out with a 1080Ti and i7 4770K @1440p , should be interesting.

https://www.reddit.com/r/assassinsc...parison_of_origins_map_vs_odyssey_map_i_made/ Here's a size comparison between Origins and Odyssey.

That is actually quite intimidating. I rarely fast traveled in Origins and it look long enough to get about!

Exploration mode?

Fixed my controller issue...by closing steam.

Seems way more optimised than Origins so far. Beautiful to look at.

From what I've seen so far, the lands areas are much more sense than Origins, more detail, forests, buildings etc. Obviously have the sea taking up a fair bit of map, but going on a sailing jolly is fun, so all good

Wish I had some decent time to spend in it, still just picking up the new systems like the faction war, bounties etc.

I haven’t even done one mission yet :eek:

Runs so much better than Origins. Looks stunning too.

I'm finding Origins ran better than this for me. Anyways.. show us your Spartans!

The latest nvidia drivers helped enormously.

CaptainRAVE · 4 Oct 2018 at 21:58

Holds a very steady 60fps for me. Capping at 60 helped smooth things along with adaptive AA set to 60 also. Everything else maxed. CPU working hard, but not maxing out so far.

Wouldn't surprise me, they need somewhere really different to the current settings. I seriously enjoyed what I played last night. Just need more time to play!!!

Basically a cheat. May as well just get a trainer if you are going to pay for this. Each to their own though. If anything like Origins I massively over levelled everything very quickly.

Given that it is 2 years til the next AC game, I shall take my time

CaptainRAVE · 6 Oct 2018 at 08:23

Level 4, go me! I must stop getting sidetracked! The draw distance (and detail of) is much better than Origins I am finding. Has rarely dropped under 60fps so far. My 1080Ti isn't even bothering with its OC mode. An impressive feat.

CaptainRAVE · 6 Oct 2018 at 19:05

Finally left the starting area

CaptainRAVE · 6 Oct 2018 at 20:34

Must be a huge team making these places. It isn’t just copy and paste either. Interesting content at every turn.

People saying this game doesn't look great are on crack. It's gobsmacking, and I'm on a 42" 1080p TV and a GTX 970...it's must be incredible on a big 4k HDR OLED with a beefy GPU.

Level 10, and just leaving Magaris, although I've done about 2/3s of it!

Agreed, it is absolutely stunning and seems to run very well for me. Plus no loading screens and draw distance that blows the mind. I think back to when we had these games and couldn’t have more than a few trees and a little grass. There is detail everywhere now. Brilliant lighting effects too.

Roll the credits

Have to admit, wasn’t sure about this since I loved Egypt. Holy moly though, it is fantastic. It feels like black flag, origins and the Witcher - not complaining about that! Easily 100 hours of content, probably more because I can’t stop going to every question mark.

Hunter: Call of the Wild - Sparta Edition

I saw someone call it Witcher: warrior creed. Made me chuckle.

Game looks good but am I not the only one who thinks it looks like it should be a DLC pack for origins, even a lot of the buildings etc. look the exact same as origins :/

No, the game is huge and there is far more and varied content that Origins.

How is performance generally in this ?

I have a 4690k, 1080ti and play at 3440x1440

Is it on par with Origins or does it run better / worse ?

Better for me with a very similar setup.

No idea why people are moaning about the levels and grind. I dont see the need for xp boosts.
