Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

[Orang Utan]

It’s coming out very soon. Who’s excited?

 

[Chilli.s]

That looks a bit difficult for me, what with the hand eye coordination, dribble running down chin concentration, and then kids laughing at my wide eyed button mashing style.

 

[Orang Utan]

It’s easy enough for me and I’m rubbish!

About 45 mins in It's pretty damn good so far, extremely pretty , very violent and a great intro , il be very happy if it keeps this standard up.

Spoiler

I've not even got to Britain yet

Didn't even see this thread.

It's great, it's beautiful, easy enough when you want it to be but with some challenges if you want them. Enough secret stuff to make it feel like you're special.

Did solve a treasure map though and got a... tattoo design which was a bit underwhelming. In some ways it's very typical, if you need a key for a door some bloke just outside will be carrying it, but it's more fun for some reason.

And raiding monasteries will never get old.

Just experienced this! Brilliant!

Just installed this. Going to give it a few hours tonight.

Feels a bit boring and typical unbisoft for now, still thing the black sails was the best one, looks pretty decent though. Had to remap a few controls, the why fuck alt is dodge when it's nearly impossible to tap when you are moving around?

How big is compared to Odyssey? I’m 180hrs into that and still loads left to do!

Not sure, but I liked that, never finished it though!

 

[Dandred]

I take it by the few reply on this thread this isn't very good.

Still haven't got into it. Just feels poorly implemented, not sure I care to carry on playing.

 

[Orang Utan]

No it’s great

if I could get a ps5 I’d say a bit more on this thread.

It's okay. I got bored faster than I did with Odyssey, despite the British setting being more familiar.

The combat is more fun, but there's not much to it. I thought I was being bad-assed collecting the Thor's Armour set, but it turns out that you can't get all of it until you finish the game. Most of the side-missions are entirely forgettable - here, stack some rocks. The Zealot system is nowhere near as fun as the Merc system in Odyssey - though admittedly it would be hard for a Viking to not have a price on their head.

It's not bad. Not at all. It's just not great. And lopping heads off never gets tiresome.

 

[Orang Utan]

I really like it. I like that the fighting’s easy. Don’t like hard fighting games where you have to do stuff over and over. The stone balancing thing and the parkour are quite difficult though.
Just getting into the new DLC expansion set in Ireland. It’s quite big!
