have not play the new assassin creed yet, so i cant really speak for Kassandra. As for Alloy, I thought she was great. I really like her no bullshit attitude, she just wants to get to the button of the truth. Characters like that appeal to me.
Yep. Aloy isn't a stereotypical asshole quipster like Kassandra is, but that doesn't mean she has no personality.Absolutely not, to me anyway. I'm actually pretty stunned at a lot of these responses because that didn't seem like the general sentiment during release and after. Aloy regularly gives her opinion on things, doesn't take people's bullshit, quips back when she wants...loved her and thought she was one of the more charismatic and charming female leads in quite a while.
She's more fleshed out than Aloy though. They share the same scenes but each actor was given free reign to express themselves. Kassandra carries herself differently tha Alexios despite them saying the same things.
The micro expressions, voice tone, and body language add a lot
Just wait til you actually play it.
It's like wondering if Piranha Bytes games wouldn't be janky if they were given a ton of resources for once. The answer is apparently no.
You sincerely need to consider glasses if you're looking at those scenes and wondering if it's the same mocap data. What is it about this game that makes people making iIMC tier bad takes. How does one look at this:I don't know, this actually makes me wonder if they're effectively animated using the same mo-capping or tracing. It's... exactly the same.
In fact, I'd say Alexios sells the "... really?" gaze after the knife hits the post better. Kassandra looks vacuous.

and then type this:
The actors are literally doing different things.
It's nice to have opinions.alexios doing the "balls" movement and that fucking face he does looks better than kassandra imho
I recommend watching the vids as the majority of people prefer Kassandra because of her delivery and body language. The fact that we're talking about this in the first place is praiseworthy, because I quite genuinely can't think of another RPG that does this. As a Ubi dev said four years ago, "double the animation," (for scenes using performance capture at least)i'm too lazy to crop alexios face right now to answer you
so imagine a gif with just alexios face as my answer to you

I'm not getting hot and bothered lol. That post is less about the Kassandra and more about how they put in the work.i'm playing with kassandra, alexios VA is goofy as fuck so i dont regret it
i'm talking about that one scene in particular, the one you posted gifs for - alexios is funnier to me. in one scene. that's all. no need to get all hot and bothered, i'm not here to take your kassandras away
Damn. You guys Savage jeez.
Why you so mad ?he sharing his opinion lolWow, fucking wow. I read it all now. Calling this post hot fucking garbage is doing disservice to hot fucking garbage.
Even in those two gifs the actors are doing very different things. Like, they literally look in opposite directions as they say their dialogue and react to the knife throw in completely different ways, Kassandra doesn't even look at it.think you misread my post, I was referring to two gifs. I know they've used different animations for the two characters, that's why the spears and knife scene was surprising.
I'll take this over astroturfing accusations.
The "classically attractive" part and Aloy is ugly part is straight sexism.
"hyperbole central"
In Horizon Zero Dawn release, like BOTW, resetera was in honeymoon phase. Its natural to talking too much about. You just need a little understand about what he is talking. People can like Aloy more than Kassandra or Kassandra more than Aloy, but saying she is 'bad' don't make much sense, unless you don't have played the game. Thats what Shinobi posted ('I'm actually pretty stunned at a lot of these responses').
Not everything is opinion here. He ask who from the two chars are better, not for shiting someone preference. Even shinobi need to come here and cut some members wings.
You ignored the post of one gentleman here who said Kass is created by focus testers. What do you have to say about that? Is that not sexism?Even in those two gifs the actors are doing very different things.

I saw that Assassins Creed character and thought 'isn't that just Alloy?'
The game industry really suffers from this.. Remember how many games had a main character indistinguishable from Nathan Drake when uncharted proves popular?
Yeah, but the way it feels to shoot a bow doesn't feel as good to me as it did in Horizon.
On the flip side, Horizon has terrible melee combat.

Yeah, this one shot I agree with you. Everything else I've seen I prefer Kassandra thoalexios doing the "balls" movement and that fucking face he does looks better than kassandra imho

I just finished Horizon a few hours ago, the problem with Aloy is not that she has no personality, because she does, she is snarky and confident to the point of being cocky, the main issue is that she has no character progression, she ends in the same place she started, none of the events of the story change her in any meaningful way, she is rarely challenged by the world around her, she is a super hero and a very vanilla one at that. I guess those dialogue options you get very rarely inject some character into personality but just not enough. It doesn't help she gets overshadowed by characters that you only see through logs and old videos, as their story is much more interesting than Aloys. But hey at least she has a good design.
I have not played AC Odyssey, just watched very few clips of Kassandra, and while she is not exactly a ground breaking character at least she is fun to watch interact and dick around with other characters, looking forward to play as her down the line.
the problem with Aloy is that
story spoilersits revealed that she is a special/chosen one/messiah type character. and its kind of boring, being a genetic descendant of the super scientist that created Project Dawn..... and only she can save the world
It's been awhile since I played Horizon but yeah I remember liking it more. I think one reason is because Aloy felt better to control too as Kassandra is just so flighty, like there's no weight to her movements.Really? The bow combat In Horizon is filled with tactics and strategy and gameplay wise is very sound, yes, but the act of pulling the bow itself in Horizon felt so... lacking. It doesn't seem like Alloy is puling the string of the bow in a tactile kind of way, it felt so loose.
She really isn't that bad. People were gushing about her around Horizon's launch. Although after reading these posts, I am curious to try Odyssey and see for myself what makes Kassandra so good.
fuck no, she's great.
