With the series now having a set formula and occasional changes along the way, fans are aware of the stylistic techniques that come with the games. Fans also know what others’ and their own perceptions around the series are, and, if you do consider yourself a loyalAssassin’s Creedgamer, then you’ll instantly understand what these 10 hilarious memes fromOdysseymean.
10Old Is Gold
Gamers are the last bunch you want to lecture about moving on, as these are the people who still use games two decades ago as examples of how a modern game should be like.Assassin’s Creedgamers find it even more difficult to move on.
Those who have only just started playing the series fromOdysseyare always perplexed over why longtime fans don’t concede that the latest entry is the best one. That would be a combination of them refusing to move on and the fact that earlier games really were quite unique.
9Mixing Fandoms
Assassin’s Creed Originsstarted the trend of the series being one of the best open-world games out there, withOdysseybeing an even better world to immerse yourself in. There wereso many locations for you to visitthat you’re able to play out moments from other fandoms here.
Star Warsfans can’t have enough of the jokes poking fun at the prequel trilogy movies, and the person behind this one made use of the diverse locations inOdysseyto play out the scene between Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker. We’ve all been there with this game, although the fandom in question varies.
8Spartan History Mastery
Those who have played every game in the series will probably be better versed in history than those who teach this subject in school. After all, we’ve covered over two thousand years worth of history by now, and now Sparta and ancient Greece has been added to the list.

Once you’re done playingAssassin’s Creed Odysseyand traveled across the open-world, there’s no doubt going to be a level of familiarity with this time period. Some fans like to consider themselves honorary Spartans for fighting for these guys for hundreds of hours.
7Stealth Level Over 9000
The first coupleAssassin’s Creedgames had tried to give a more realistic fighting style to the series by making it very difficult to fight people two at a time. The following games made this much easier, to the point thatOdyssey’s combat is so easy that you can kill off armies on your own.
It doesn’t even have to be fighting based on one-on-one encounters, with stealth being so prevalent that sneaking around camps can eventually lead to you killing everyone there all by yourself. Looks like all that training for those armies was for nothing.
6Dare To Fight
The vocabulary of the person that made this meme might be awful, but we do get the gist of what they meant. It’s for sure true, as fighting the leader before the soldiers would entail you sauntering right in the camp and then attempting to win.

As players know, this strategy would mean everybody would be aware of your infiltration and will engage you altogether. The leader himself is a pretty strong fighter, so going through with the strategy of this meme makes the person one daring player, as they’ll have the whole army to contend with, even if it’s not the hardest thing to do.
5What Everyone Wanted To Do
The moment it was announced that Leonidas would be part of the game, fans were excited in wait for the chance to kick someone off a cliff as shown in the film300. Although we didn’t get to use Leonidas much, we did get the chance to do that cliff kick.
Some took to repeating this in order to have the perfect moment, with players sharing these sequences with others and asking if the “This is Sparta!” scene was accurately portrayed. This meme has the entire idea put together as a question.
4Seems About Right
One of the reasons why wepreferred Kassandra over Alexioswas because the latter just seemed like too much of a brute rather than a layered protagonist. He was also far too large, making him resemble the Great Khali from WWE on occasion when encountering shorter characters.
Alexios' manner of speaking didn’t make it appear as if he had a grasp of too many words, which is what the Great Khali character was also known for. All things considered, people won’t be very surprised if Khali really does portray Alexios in live-action.
3Thought You Could Fool Us
There were too many similarities betweenOriginsandOdysseyto ignore, as the template set by the former was clearly used for the latter. Both these gamesgave us superb protagonists, large worlds to explore, and a storyline with generally the same outline.

If you’ve playedOrigins,then you’ve effectively playedOdyssey,too, with the main difference being that the follow-up game has a much larger map. Those who weren’t willing to pay once again for the same experience must have been the ones to make this meme.
2Them Feels
Continuing on from our point about paying forAssassin’s Creed Odyssey, here’s a meme that references those who didn’t want to spend their money on the game. It’s inevitable that a pirated version of the game will appear somewhere, and there’s a large market of people who purchase, or even get it for free.
That doesn’t mean it isn’t a heartbreaking wait, seeing as a large amount of people will have already played it by the time the people who get the pirated copy can have a chance. For this reason, we feel the pain of that kid.
1Why Not Both?
Since the majority of the games have become open-world offerings by now, fandoms have taken to considering the others as their rivals.Red Dead Redemption 2has emerged as one of the rivals forAssassin’s Creed Odyssey,as both these games take place in the past and in the wilderness.
However, who says you have to pick just the one side? It’s far better to purchase both games and have the time of your life by checking out the different styles that are present. Those who do have both games will agree it does feel like you’re living both lives at the same time as seen in this meme.
