Assassin's Creed Valhalla is not worthy of anyone's time. Boring grindfest with mtx to speed up the midgame? No thanks. Also you can complete the game without assassinating anyone? Why call it ASS CREED then?

Bad AAA games deserve to be shit on.
It is the only way they will learn.

It is a bad game that takes like 80 hours to complete. The people in charge at Ubisoft don't seem to understand that video games need to be fun. It is actually impressive that they managed to fill a game with so much unenjoyable content. Like it isn't just filler shit, it is actual quests that have unique lines of dialog and everything. It is like the people who were making the game just came in for the paycheck and didn't even bother playing their own game outside of bug testing.

How would it even work as a concept? AssCreed is all about tall buildings, but the vikings lived in nigger tier mudhuts.

I guess they figured that since they got away with making a pirate game and slapping a ass label on it that they could do similar with a barbarian game.
I don't play any ubisoft shit because Uplay is cancer so I have no interest in the game even if they were giving it away.
I played the first two but this one looks really boring when I watch gameplay.
I don't think I would like it very much even if I did give it a try.

ASS CREED VALHALLA is a AAA-game with thorough quality-control. MUAHAHAHAHA!

it's a funny vid and all.
But those in no way those are major bugs, those are just collision glitches mostly.

Same was with TES Skyrim, I don't get why people complain about those. It's not game breaking and even fun sometimes

Thing is that black flag still felt like an assassin's creed game. You still, did assassinations, used the hidden blade and wore the assassin outfit.

Origins was the game that really fucked the franchise up. I really like syndicate and hated origins but apparently this is a minority opinion.

You're not remotely interested in quality control?

no clipping trough textures is not really that big of a deal. And you can't completely get rid of it, it can still happen on accident

The AC games in general are just filled with too much busy-work and box ticking instead of fun stuff to do. AC Odyssey was particularly bad for this, with its copypasta forts and radiant quests. It's basically a 40-50 hour game trapped inside a 150 hour game.

I haven't played Valhalla yet, but given the general trend of the series and what I've heard other people say, it sounds like it suffers from the same problems.

AssCreed V from a historian's POV.

So basically Vikings good, little englanders bad. Fuck Ubisoft.

that was a great read, thanks anonymage. I initially thought (as I don't pretend to play this game) that vikings were just going to be portrayed as inclusive and pure good and the saxons as ebil natzis(as per usual with any ubi game), but the problems with this games narrative and lore run much deeper. The religion made me laugh, berserker potions, secularism in MEDIEVAL EUROPE(understandable as a (false) depiction of ancient greece, but europe…) and hilariously a god speaking with you personally(a spiritual interpretation would make much more sense). Such a shame, so much potential for making a good game about viking history, culture, religion and people but they butcher it depicting them as christian ubermensch with pagan undertones. This game would be a total flop without the huge marketing effort and the french subsidies.

Ubisoft really has a weird hate boner for the English no matter the game. I guess it's that Frenchness in them.
