But the wording makes it sound like unit sales are down while revenue is up.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey launch sales tops franchise records for current console generation
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
I only mention it as the lock on combat in Origins and AC is clearly inspired by Souls.
And there we go...Clearly the 26% down on physical sales was made up digital. Great to hear as it really is a belting release and after 20 hrs or so, the similarities to Origins become less and less.
How does it make it sound like unit sales down? And down from what you mean?

Cringiest post of 2018... You won it.
Great game, but it still needs a lot of work and tightening up.
OP
OP
That will probably be Montreal as lead studio. Buti am not sure if they still have multiple teams there or only one (Black Flag, Origins). Unity was second Montreal team but i am not sure if that team is still in play.
The thing is that the city of Rome is just too masive, too prominent. Athens in comparison was a village, and Alexandria although a massive city in its own right, doesn't carry the same weight as Rome. So I believe that if Ubisoft decided to make a game in Italy in the 4th century AD (which would be my choice) they should start to design the map by building the city of Rome 1:1, they have the know-how, talent and tools to literally recreate the ancient city in its full glory. After that is done they should decide how to handle the countryside. Personally I'd say a hub oriented design like TW3 would work more for this game than the 'recreate an entire region in one hugh map'.
There is no indication about the unit sales being up or down. It's just saying that everything put together, it's the most profitable AC of the gen. Which is clearly a huge success and will probably result in longer than usual legs for this game. In the end, it'll likely outsell Origins and Syndicate.
Quote mentioned launch performance, not sales. Performance is revenue generated from mtx and season pass as unit sales.
What the hell...the writing is actually pretty damn good and the story is so much more engaging than Origins was. Also side quests feel meaningful this time around compared to Origins.
It's still saying something when we all agree that W3 is one of the best games ever made. So yes, it is saying much.
Never said it didn't had any bearing. And yes, they can definitely improve the melee combat.
It's not a bad thing at all, the game already has good combat in my opinion and it still can improve a lot. So it get get better and better.
Last year they stated it because they could, this year they didn't. Why, because unit sales are likely down.https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-11-08-assassins-creed-origins-launch-sales-double-syndicate
There is SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH combat in ACO, it's definitely a focus, which is why it's a problem.
That's true.
People need to stop doing that though, aping souls is not the end all be all solution to your game's combat.
Odyssey is amazing it's a full RPG commit on the franchise.
My only problem with the game is the cloth rendering on pc version being locked at 30.
Like I previously said in Era, I enjoyed Origins but it felt an RPG only in terms of combat.. But now yeah it's a full on RPG despite there's quite a few improvements you could still do.

...what are you talking about?
Why would you attempt to positively compare the combat of a game you like to a game that also has bad combat? Both games need dramatic improvements when it comes to combat. "the witcher doh" doesn't make ACO's combat problems go away.
Like, real talk, everything in ACO except the combat (and the dumb mercs mode) is fantastic, which makes the poor combat stick out even more.
Awesome to hear, incredible game. Those UK sales threads are less and less relevant as time goes on. Digital is huge.

Ooop!
Yeah I have heard that... I actually did play shortly after it came out, but stopped as soon as I got to the first animus section. I was so burnt on the series after 3 that I didn't really give it a fair shot and quit very early on. I will play through it eventually
Also, Rome was pretty much the singular location for Brotherhood. Returning to Rome (ancient Rome this time, instead of Renaissance era) could allow them to do some neat story tie-ins to the vault and Ezio/Desmond storylines.
I know. I said that by including digital (so, including MTX as well as season pass/DLC whatever), revenue is up. People were making the conclusion that it was a decline compared to Origins just based on UK FW sales, but it evidently wasn't.
Not really. They stated it doubled syndicate sales because, ya know, that's a pretty impressive thing. Odyssey selling like 1.4x times Origins numbers wouldn't exactly make for such a snappy announcement.
There's also a difference between investor reports and sales PR.
It declined in the UK no way around it it. These are revenue based WW sales for every platform. We already knew it was doing much better on steam before the UK thread.
Looks the game did great can't wait to get it just need to play Origins first.
Pretty simple really, W3 is considered one of the best games ever and has mediocre combat. And then you say that ACO could be way better if the combat was better.
EDIT: Oh, and to answer your other question, I'm talking about the combat in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Again, I was talking about the conclusion that decline in retail units in UK -> decline WW that people made.
Okay?
The worst one is Unity.
I don't know where I read something about this, but there was some noise about Ubisoft using multiple moments in time in a single setting. Rome singularly ideal for this.
They don't need to to give figure just use the words 'it sold more'.
Still waiting for a source for your statement.
I think that was the original plan for Unity but in the end they scrapped it and the only remnant of that idea was the "rifts" that take you to enclosed sections of Paris during the Belle Epoque, WWII and the siege during the medieval time.
Syndicate also tried something similar by taking you to a big-ish map of London during WWII.
I mean, the bugs murdered that game so...::Shrug::
It's like saying Mass Effect Andromedia is one of the best, if it weren't for the bugs...
The original plan for Unity was for the game to take place in multiple eras while following the same piece of eden, the rifts and opening of the game were the result of that.
