FYI, at least on my TV (Samsung KS8000) I’ve recently discovered game looks way more colorful with HDR off. Not sure what’s causing that or if it’s bad implementation but you may want to test it out on your tv.
I dont have Oddessy, but Origins had great HDR.It's the opposite on my TV. The only game that I've disabled HDR to get the better color was on RDR2. I'm playing on the Pro, so that might be a difference for this game at least.

Yeah Origins is the game that sold me on HDR in games, this one looks washed out though. I’ll tinker with some of the games settings I guess.
I’m not messing with TV settings because movies look amazing.
Was probably easier to control it with Origins because they really didn't have much variety in the environments or weather.
This won't be a popular video over at Ree, but I liked it. It makes the point.
His comments on the homosexuality in the game are a bit much, there was only one character I can remember who seemed to just be bi sexual, the player had the option of getting with men or women but he makes it sounds like there was a lot of focus on homosexuality and there really wasn't, maybe if you aren't used to it the little bit that's there seems like more than it actually was but it was hardly a focus of the game.
Still addicted to this game. Level 49, haven’t gotten around to finishing the story, but having a blast. Didn’t know I’d love this setting so much.
The new update is great, loving being able to customize the armor instead of having to choose between looks and stats.
I'm glad they raised the level cap, I still haven't been through all of the map yet lol. I'll be getting back to it soon though, had to take a break to go through Red Dead 2.
Still tied GOTY for me, great game.
Phillips notes that although the split ended up being "two third Alexios" and "one third Kassandra," that number actually "surprised" him. He clarifies that during play tests the split was roughly 50/50, and that in the end he even though that there would be "a little bit more Kassandra." Phillips shares that beyond that initial dichotomy, all of the rest of the player choices surprised the team.
The game director is surprised that two thirds of the audience chose to play as the male character? WTF?!?! Most players are going to be male and most men would rather play as a male character.

I keep hearing that Cassandra has the better voice acting, so she probably is the better choice. I picked Alexios and only played for a dozen hours, but his voice acting didn't really do it for me. He sounded detached somehow.
If I go back for another run sometime, I'll try Cassandra. Voice acting makes a big difference in my ability to connect with a character and have him/her feel "real."
Banned. Misogynistic commentary. lol
I agree that expecting 50/50 is unrealistic, but I guess that's how it broke out in the playtesting, earlier.
A third is better than the 18% Fem Shep got. I can think of a few factors that might've contributed to the increase:
- This game might've attracted more female buyers than Mass Effect did. AC in Greece might appeal to women more than a science fiction shooter.
- Ubi marketed Cassandra more heavily than most similar games do. They seemed pretty invested in her, as a character.
- Game journalists seem to prefer Cassandra, because of her voice acting (and maybe because of the agenda).
- Cassandra was "canon."
- Changing times. It's been a decade or so since ME. Maybe more men are comfortable playing as female character than they were back then, I dunno.
Well...The game director is surprised that two thirds of the audience chose to play as the male character? WTF?!?! Most players are going to be male and most men would rather play as a male character.

Well...
I never play as women in games if there's a male choice, never played as femshep and never felt the urge too. I'm a man, I feel like a man and associate with men. But.... hearing how much better kassandra was I got interested so I watched a few cutscene videos and alexios voice acting is bad, really bad. Kassandra is pretty great and although she's no Bayek, she's definitely one of the better main characters in the series. So I played as her, it's fine but I've rather play as a man, in this case though, I couldn't stand alexios voice acting. Honestly, if they said it was a 50/50 split, I wouldn't have thought anything of it. I felt they marketed her more/better than alexios and I would've thought that swayed people to choose her idk
Started this today, pretty much done with the initial island. I'm enjoying it. Good couple weeks of gaming for me, between Ori, Hellblade and now this.
