Forced Update deleted all Save-Files.

Gefühlt im Vergleich zum Original - wo die 100% kein Problem waren - eher ein massiver Rück- als Fortschritt, was diese "Definitive Edition" hier präsentiert.

Ja, man ist mittlerweile verwöhnter, nicht zu letzt durch Techlands hauseigene Dying Light 1/2, die im Vgl. zu diesem älteren Spiel viel (nicht alles) richtig machen.

Wer ans Ende der DIRDE trotzdem das alte 30fps Abschlussvideo klatscht zeigt allerdings auch, dass irgendwo unterwegs die Puste oder das Geld ausgegangen ist.

Vorab das Gute: Ja, irgendwie versprüht auch diese 3D-Version den typischen South Park Charme - auch wenn ich mich tatsächlich am meisten über die kurze Cartman-Einführungssequenz gefreut habe.

Das Gameplay ist der Witz der Woche - welche Playtester & QS haben denn das durchgewunken und gesagt "Ja ist gut so."? Sofort feuern die Buben & Bubetten.
Schon der erste "Bossfight" war reines Tank & Spank und auf schwer trotzdem in <5 Minuten vorbei.

Waffenauswahl sehr gering, die Movesets sind fragwürdig. Skillauswahl genauso gering, Synergie hab' ich hier keine gesehen. Das Kartensystem wirkt wahllos. Das Upgradesystem für die Karten wirkt unrund.
Es muss natürliich einen zentralen Hub geben von dem aus man in "Missionen" startet, kein (semi)offenes Southpark in dem man herumeiern darf.
Levels sind strenggenommen Schläuche mit recht wenig Inhalt.

Selbst wenn man Action-Gekloppe nicht so richtig mit dem Strategie/Boardgame-Gameplay der beiden anderen "großen" Titel vergleichen kann, landet das hier für mich instant am 1. Tag auf dem hintersten Platz.

If you came here, bc you thought "A 100% Mass Effect Trilogy Playthrough would be really really fun" - don't try.

Since EA refuses to fix the homemade problem with their EA App that replaced Origin, Achievements in Steam AND Ingame stop working halfway through ME2.

Currently stuck in an unmodded insanity playthrough, 1/3 of the story in after doing Kasumis DLC first. Shes loyal now (i know bc the mission end screen said so and the companion selection screen also says she is loyal), but neither did the game recognize that in terms of ingame AV or her advanced powers, nor did the Steam AV pop.

So thats that for 100% AV Grind.

Apparently, this does not affect the suicide mission, only counts that shes loyal. But it's still a shame that EA refuses to fix this issue tht first appeared 3 years ago.

Pretty neat as a 3rd person shooter for co-op with a friend.
4€ sale was a good thing, nut sure if it's worth the full price tho, bc you can 100% it in under 25 hours.

Not even worth the 5$ price tag on sale.

The only thing working in this game is the trannyloot so you can cosplay a true swede by wearing purple nail polish and a skirt.

This is just a steaming pile of garbage.

Performance is the worst of all the Borderlands-Games i've played.

My game is bugged.

Last step i could make was inserting the gems into the collar i picked up in the aula.
After that i tried to leave the aula, but got ported back on the map.
1st batcave, then behind the streets.
Now i am stuck on the finished horse puzzle w/o the option to finish it again or go elsewhere on the map.

Jede Menge Spaß mit DE:HR Directors Cut Edition gehabt.

Meine Erfahrung mit DE:MD innerhalb der ersten 2h, fast 4 Jahre nach Release in 2020:

Crash beim Quickload.
Infinite Loading Screen beim Quickload.

Essentielle Spielmechaniken wie Speichern/Laden sollte man als Dev beherrschen.

So.. about this game.

I did a 100% (Steam-)Achievement run on this and finished it.
(*Uplay is missing 2 AVs, but who gives af about Uplay anyway)
(**I did NOT finish a 100% run eg. clearing every map location and finishing every quest that is in the game)
Proof: https://completionist.me/steam/profile/76561197981803517/app/812140

Playtime varies depending on the source:
Ingame-Savegame: 109h
Completionist: 135h
Steam: 134h
Uplay: 111h

With all the DLCs, the free ones and the payed ones, the playtime averages somewhere around 120h for me. That's what you can expect to get for your money - depending on your own playstile (i would call mine "average", i listened to most of the dialogues of the main storyline and skipped some cutscenes/dialoges i didn't enjoy later on) you can get more or less.

I did not touch the "Make your own story" feature where you can make and play Quests by Players. So that might give you some extra playtime.
I also did not touch the "New game+" mode, bc it was pointless for me to start over while hunting the last 20 AVs.
This might give you a another big chunk of extra playtime, if you enjoy the game.

As it was for the last installment of the series, Origins: Do NOT expect the same style as the series had in AC 1-3.
Odyssey and Origins differ from that - not only the OpenWorld stuff changes the game, also the mechanics & the storytelling.


Main/Base Game:
Took me ~90h to complete everything.
I really like the story laid out by the game. But that's "taste".
If you like Open world RPGs, Questing and a Risen/Gothic/AC Origins-like fighting system, this should fit you very well.
I skipped through the several difficulty-levels the game offers - but making enemy Bullet-sponges or "Dagger-sponges" does not offer a big enough difference to even bother playing on anything else than "normal". Going higher just drags out the time you spent fighting.
I paid 60€ on release and it was worth it. If you can get it on sale like rn for ~20bucks, this is a no-brainer. Get it and enjoy it.

Legacy of the first blade DLC/1st payed DLC:
This was kind of a mediocre/bad thing. I understand why this DLCs recieves so much hate, but on the other hand, it does not deserve the "overwhelmingly negative" tag.
It was short - too short for a ~25 buck pricetag. Took me around ~7h. A price of ~10 bucks would've been better.
The story was very forced. I don't want to spoil, but only get this if you can get it on sale for the AVs or, if you don't care about AVs, skip it.

Atlantis/2nd payed DLC:
This. Was. Fantastic. and worth even the full price of ~25 bucks. Got it on sale for 50% off.
The story was great. The Atlantis continent was great.
The estimated playtime should be around ~30-35h.

Free DLC:
A Set of missions you get for free and you need to complete most of them for the AVs.
Sad to say, but they were pretty boring.
On the other hand - you get more free content that was on par w/ the 1st payed DLC or even above it.

Technical stuff:
The Game runs "okay"-ish on PC. Some say it is not very well optimized, but i can't rly judge on that.
By release-date, i had a somewhat lower high-class setup w/ i5 6600, 1070, 16Gb ram w/ SSD.
That's not top notch stuff, but nut budget-gaming either. Odyssey ran at mostly stable 60fps 1080p w/ high to very high settings.
A year later, running the DLC i skipped, it did not anymore. Now i average 50fps on 1080p high settings w/ Adaptive on. Thats not "good".
Worth to mention: The game never crashed for me. Not even once.

Appendix:
Expect some Ubisoft/OpenWorld-typical bugs you might encounter while playing.
I fell through the world once or twice.
Models not showing up correctly aka "hovering instruments making sounds but noones playing them".
Under water caves being too dark or the game taking too long to brighten up if you go under water.
Some stupid AI-stuff while hunting down human enemies.
