In a recent gameplay video, IGN revealed (kudos to AccessTheAnimus for spotting it) that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will feature two gameplay modes. The first one will be called Guided Mode and will be similar to what gamers have been experiencing in the previous AC games and the other one will be called Exploration Mode.
Going into more details, in Guided Mode markers will be displayed at all times and quest objectives will be given to players automatically. On the other hand, in Exploration Mode, the player will have to investigate the world to uncover targets and quest objectives.
Naturally, players will be able to choose the mode they want to once they start their adventure (and although it has not been confirmed yet, we are pretty sure that players will be able to switch between these modes while playing the game).
The exploration mode sounds interesting however it remains to be seen whether Ubisoft will provide some hints via its dialogue system about the location of the objectives or not. After all, we’ve seen numerous RPGs in which players have to aimlessly wander around in order to find – by mere luck – a quest objective. So yeah, if that’s the case here – and since Odyssey will feature a pretty big map – I think I’ll stick with the Guided Mode.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey releases on October 5th!

Hand holding for kids and hand holding for pessants
And if you post something like that, you’re both.
the year is 2020, experience the new epic feature, letting the game play on its on, while you watch sit back and do nothing, because games are meant to be watched & not played!
The feature is that you can turn the hand holding off, moron.
the future is that you can remove the handholding.
Man this game is gonna be so great in 2 years from now that all the patches and dlcs have been released and new hardware capable of running it well are out and the game is sold for a low price.
It’s the best way to buy games anyway. I’m still a couple AC games back, but I get them all for 10-15 dollars on sale with all the extras and the patches. Only suckers pre-order.
I’ve been doing the same thing for many years now. Last few years I have had more time for gaming so I average about 15 games a year. It might not seem like a lot of money saved for just 1 game but in a years time instead of spending $900 for my games I only spend around $200. Besides the other advantages you mentioned there’s also a fair size mod base available if the game supports modding.
Only drawbacks are that I don’t get to play the games when everyone else is talking about them and sometimes it’s hard to dodge spoilers but most people are considerate enough to not post spoilers.
My general rule is $5 or less at 75% off for the complete, all-DLC version of the game.
(I made an exception recently for Dying Light at $17 and today saw it for $12!)
Yep the state of gaming nowdays. Even big name indies are like that.
That’s why they are pushing the “live service” model, a publisher wet dream where the authentication servers can be shut down two years after launch.
that’s the vanilla experience ;P
It was. Probably was removed because the console players (who probably / arguably have an overall IQ slightly above a kiwi fruit) got stuck and whined too much about it.
urge to point out that you like dumbed down games intensifies.

You will be amazed
Wandering aimlessly is stupid..all games should have hand holding and when player bored there’s an option to take player directly to final boss,and don’t forget auto aim,auto run,and Auto loot..
Mate at this point this game is only pretending to take place in Greece
“So Ubisoft finally has started to make proper games, instead of interactive movies?”
Likes wolfenstein 2, bashes ubisoft.
Sure bud, a game that can be finished in 4.5 hours and 2.5 of that is cutscenes.
So a typical everyday journalist mode and a normal mode ?
