Assassins Creed Valhalla - set in the Viking age - now on Steam

[good fucking shit happen]

for those who couldn't see the picture (because fuck 4chan for picture sharing):

Fact check: Britain was actually a west African colony before the vikings came and raped everyone until they turned white passing. Britons were black, just as the Irish. Celtic people were 100% afroids before the blonde proto-mongols entered Europe and probably came from a then collapsed civilization located somewhere in Siberia, which became the slavic people, scandianvians, germanics, persians and all those. Anglo-Saxons are just Danish people pretending to always have lived there.

That's Reda, he's a mythical,magical trader from Ancient Egypt, he's a cool little dude, he was in assassins creed origins.

So literally a magic negro?

Assassin's Creed Valhalla's extensive options should be the new standard for PC gaming

Here's a retarded urinalist cooming over himself for something that I would describe as run of the mill settings for a PC game (not to be confused with shitty console ports which always fail in this regard), and that I would expect from any decent PC release.

This is what your brain looks like when you exclusively play consoles for most of your life. These morons think they can judge what the standards should be, yet they're too ignorant to realise that this is lower than what the standard already was years ago.

Valhalla's options are definitely not standard. Pretty much every single aspect of everything from the HUD to the exploration difficulty/combat difficulty/stealth difficulty are modular and changeable on a whim. If Valhalla were standard, the majority of games would be

which they are certainly not.

Why is this in general RPG forum?

The fact that it's no longer standard for most games is the problem. Extensive options were once a staple of PC gaming, before games were made with a one-size-fits-all approach for console friendliness. And now people are jizzing their pants over things which used to be pretty standard in the past.

Don't get me wrong, the devs should be commended for at least this aspect of the game, but it's not some revolution like urinalists would like people to believe.

So, predictably the reviewers are sucking this one off. Why exactly? Is there anything different to the last 10 instalments? Will anyone on here actually buy it to give us their opinion? So many questions.

No n-ggers except the one literal magic negro kid. I can't remember the last time I played a AAA game, and especially a UBI or other woke fuckery studio game with no 'die-ver-shitty is our strenf' propaganda in it. I will play it for that reason alone.

 

[Fedora Master]

It still has gays and stronk womyn, so...

 

[kangaxx]

Ubiwank have released in quick succession:

• A post-Brexit fascist dystopia set in London, featuring radio commentary from that silly cunt Helen Lewis.
• Assassin's Creed 23 set in England, where the piddly little natives get fucked by big, burly vikings.

Hopefully their next game is a Mohammed simulator. I'm not a violent man, but they could probably do with a good office "shake up" to remove the dead wood in the design dept.

It's an Open-World Action-RPG which offers a ton of stuff to do, quite a few innovations compared to the last 2 games (different Skill System, base-building gameplay, Raids-Assaults, trillions of new secondary activities and mini-games), and is set in 9th century England (with lots of historical figures of that era appearing, most of which are remarkably accurate historically, if you exclude the obvious Templar-Assassin additions of course). You also have dialogue choices in all main quest chapters, which affect both the final ending you receive as well as secondary aspects like which NPC ends up as the king/jarl of the various kingdoms in the game world.

I get where the "journalists praise it, therefore it must suck" mentality is coming from, and Ubisoft has certainly cucked out it almost every regard (there is even a disclaimer that "this game is made by people of all ethnicities, religions and sexual orientations" at the start of all their games), but as far as Assassin's Creed titles go, this is one of the good ones. If someone had fun with Origins and Odyssey and is looking for something similar and improved, he'll thoroughly enjoy Valhalla. If someone doesn't really care for the general Assassin's Creed gameplay (parkour, stealth, assassinations, exploring the open world, collecting stuff, doing various mini-games etc), then obviously he won't enjoy this one as well. There's not much else to say about it.

BTW, the nuHitmans have the same disclaimer.

How is it compared to Mount&Blade: Viking Conquest (aka Brytenwalda) if we forget about the production values and concentrate on the features you've listed?

 

[Hellion]

Viking Conquest is obviously much more sandbox-y and faction-oriented. Valhalla's sandbox elements, if any, are practically non-existent. You won't find wandering Lords or viking/saxon/pictish warbands scouring the map and waging wars and raiding settlements etc, other than when stuff like that is scripted to happen during the main quest. Nor is there ship-to-ship combat (I wonder why, though - the system was practically already set for Origins and Odyssey). And you can't lead your Clan to expand over the neighbouring kingdoms or other faction vs faction options like opting to join the Danes or the Saxons.

 

[Fedora Master]

Do they still insist on endless unskippable modern day sequences? The last asscreed I played was Black Flag and that shit made my blood boil. That and chasing fucking shanties across rooftops.

 

[Hellion]

There are only 2 forced shifts to the modern day plot: a super-short one right after the prologue, and a slightly more extended one at the very end of the main story. But even after the second one you can get right back into the Animus and just keep playing.

Considering the game basically changed formulas beyond recognition three games ago, I'd say yes. Origins started the "new RPG formula", Odyssey expanded on it along with exploration mode and Valhalla goes further.

I saw the ending of this one on YouTube and the next one will definitely be heavier on the modern day stuff

If The Witcher 3 is in GRPG forum the Ass Creed Oddessy and this one should as well. Haven't played them so don't know if they are decent/good, but for all intent and purpose Oddessy and Vikings are undoubtedly modern action RPG

Just watched a quest where a "raid-loving" woman tells you to set her house on fire so that she can get wet enough to fuck her husband.

such as fishing and base building.

 

[Mazisky]

I need suggestions from those who are playing the game.

I only played:

AC 2 and love it.

ACBrotherhood and started to feel repetitive.

ACUnity disliked and never played any AC again.

After all those years, I may try returning. I usually do only the main quest cause i find side stuff extremely boring, unless there is a good narrative like in The Witcher.

I mostly care about narrative and world atmosphere\immersion. Last open world games I've played and liked was Arkham series and The Witcher 3.


Should I try Valhalla?
