Your framerate on a 2080Ti at 1440P is quite bad when a console can run it at 4K 60 with a much lesser GPU.

How is 80-110 FPS bad ? 
also il be running much higher settings than console

You overestimate what you run vs a console, those consoles are maxed out. PS5 & XBOX SX

There not maxed out settings 60 FPS 4k lol

If it's running Valhalla at 4K like this vs 3080, this Ass creed is certainly maxed out on these consoles, it's RDNA2, don't be so delusional.

It's a shame really, but i think Ubisoft are milking the franchise to death.

Why do you say that?

 

Speaking from personal experience I really loved AC: Odyssey and it was the first ever AC game I ever played. It encouraged me to buy almost all of the other AC games.

However I may be a unique case as a student of Classical History. I gave it a lot of bonus points for realism in terms of visuals and locations as well as including actual historical figures in their proper context. Although with some artistic deviation as would be expected in a video game.

 

If you’re an “old school” AC player I can understand if you think the game is deviating too much from its original plot and becoming unrecognizable as an AC game..

 

But at the same time new players like myself are getting immersed in the game and in the end the more fans the better right?

 

If AC Odyssey had been a total garbage heap of a game I would probably think differently, but it was a good game. Maybe not groundbreaking or game changing but I’d give it a solid 8/10 or B+.
 

Would I buy it again? Yes. I got over 200 hours of play out of it and spent $49.99.

 

That’s a fair deal in my book.

 

 

P.S. The nonsense with the $129.99 “Ultimate Edition” is ridiculous and I encourage anyone even considering this game to wait for a big sale like I did. I got the “Ultimate Edition” for $49.99 during the Summer Sale which is $10 cheaper than the “Standard Edition” is during non-sale times.

I got myself AC Syndicate instead. Looks just as bad, but only costs 4,99€ and the characters are at least interesting.

Also the gameplay feels so much better than any of the newer ACs I played.

And Syndicate isn't even that good of an AC. Revelations is way better and even that was considered the weak link of AC when it came out. Like srsly, how can Ubisoft fuck up so bad?

Really??

 

What didn’t you like about it?

 

It was the first AC game I ever played and I have over 200 hours in it.

I didn't like the atmosphere, which wasn't very dense and the characters weren't all that interesting. I also didn't like the gameplay. It felt too much like an MMORPG, instead of an actual Assasssin's Creed game. I started with AC2, which just feels so much more like you're playing an actual Assassin. There is also so much more detail in that game and the other earlier titles like AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations.
