I'm kind of sad that so many people feel the same. Damn shame, too, 'cause vikings are pretty ****ing awesome.
I'm not sure where they'll go with the next installment, but they need a rebound in a major way. |

3-4 hours definitely isn't enough time if I had to guess. Like I said, I spent almost 8 doing the Odyssey prologue and it's not all main story so it's not really "gripping" until you see the plot line start to unfold after you leave the first area.

3-4 hours should get you roughly 10% of the way through (most) main storylines if you're not distracted by side quests. |

I also play on the highest difficulty level available for most games. In an open world, especially one with level scaling, rushing through the main story is a good way to become frustrated and rage quit...

I just don't have the patience for that anymore. Perhaps not reaction time/motor skills, either. I'm currently doing another run through Horizon Zero Dawn, and I can't imagine what a pain in the ass it must be at anything beyond normal. Even on normal it can be vicious. Getting dogpiled by three or four different types of creatures, all of which have different attacks and vulnerabilities.... ****. When a game gets to be so difficult/complex that playing it feels like work, I lose interest quickly.

Trust me, I'm a 50-year old burnout. I can't play most FPS games because I'm at such a disadvantage. |

I just don't have the time like I used to...and honestly the patience either. If I'm not into a game right away then I end up dropping it.
I have Witcher 3 that I still need to push through but the combat system to me is ****ing clunky as shit. |

And don't even get me started on Kingdom Come Deliverance. That's the most difficult game I've ever played, and I think you'd pretty much have to be a ****ing cyborg to play it on hard. |

I get the impression playing AC Odyssey that you could get through most of the content without really using too many abilities or upgrading weapons. Even on the hardest difficulty, I find myself letting armor and weapons get several levels behind and it doesn't really make things insurmountable. However, if I want to actually get through the frustrating parts, I find myself making sure I optimize everything.

I conquered a fort in the 3rd area last night where there were probably 20 guards and 3 captains. I stealthed everyone except the last couple of guards. It took me about an hour.

It's also why I can't do Dark Souls and quit trying with Bloodborne. |

That being said, I have never been able to get into From Software titles. I remember quitting Dark Souls 3 because I couldn't beat the tutorial boss. |

See, I'm the opposite. I don't find being overpowered fun, if it gets too easy, it gets repetitive and disengaging pretty fast for me. I like to have to stop and think about things - perhaps it's my way of compensating for the fact that I don't have the quick twitch thumbs I used to in my younger years.
