      @@kitsune2146 I do disagree with this. I know its fun to rip on the modern day but it is an important part of the series. It gives a sense of urgency to all our protagonists when the modern is done well. We don't to spend more then 10 min throughout the game there but the way Valhalla handled it was fine. It also does a really good job of making the world feel connected and gives these people relevancy to us and why it matters to us. Assassins creed is more then a history simulator. If you don't want to care the segments are very very skippable. You spend 99% of the time in there. Assassins creed is not an arthrology.

    Some of my thoughts after completing the game (if anyone cares)..
    -The story its ok imo, way better than Odyssey, but i have to say i was more immerse in Origins than in Valhalla. Bayek and Aya left a bigger impression on me than Eivor. I remember playing Origins and i couldn't wait to know what was gonna happen with the story, in Valhalla i felt that at specific times, but overall i felt the story was much longer that it needed to be. Some secondary characters didn't make me care enough to even remember their names at the end of the game.
    -Sound and music its at the same level than Origins (very good).
    -Graphics.. well it's the same engine so not much difference there (they really need to improve draw distance, distant terrain textures looks very flat and unappealing).
    -The combat its a little bit heavier and with more weapon customization, but its the same essence than Odyssey (some people like it, others don't).
    -They downgraded the level of grind (which is much appreciated).
    -Stealth its still secondary and bad implemented imo, same as Odyssey, the game is clearly focused on combat and stealth is just a choice you can take (still there are a lot of missions that force you into combat). Social stealth is there but i find myself almost never using it, there's really no need even in max difficulty.
    -Order members are too generic and easy to kill (except for a couple that are story related and have more work put into their missions). Just discover their location and kill them like any other target like if they were a contract from Reda. Small confession cutscenes, sometimes interesting (story related members) others not so much.
    -Regions and cities are better designed and different between each other (something that Odyssey did very badly but Origins did very good)
    -Parkour is awefull, just that, not much else to say. It's true that cities are better designed to parkour but the mechanic is to buggy.
    -Character animations, some are ok, the rest very bad (lip sync, facial expressions, body expressions)
    -PC optimization, same as always, not the worst but far from the best. The game consumes to much for what delivers.
    Anyway those are my opinions, if have to say it in only one sentence it would be :"Valhalla is a step forward from Odyssey"

    • @kalo_yanis
      @kalo_yanis 4 года назад +1

      @paris-ml1gy 4 года назад +4

      I agree with every one of your points. Overall, it’s a very average AC game. Gameplay got really repetitive after the first 40+ hours. The story was good especially towards the end, but overall it felt pretty dragged out with very forgettable side characters. Only a handful of them were interesting like Halfdan and Ivarr, but a majority of them I could barely even remember their names. Valhalla is definitely far better than Odyssey, but Origins is still the best of the trilogy in my opinion.

      definitely a lot buggier experience than what i had with Origins and Odyssey. nothing i would really consider game breaking though.

    @AnInsaneOstrich 4 года назад +3

    The Red, Blue and Yellow in the skill tree represents the 3 forms of weapons and armour; Bear, Wolf and Raven respectively. Bear is heavy hitting attacks and beefy armour at the expense of requiring a lot of stamina to dodge and being slow to attack, Wolf is the middle of the road and Raven is light defense but low stamina consumption and rapid attacks. In the Raven tree you'll be more likely to find % damage increase for light attacks only, Wolf you'll find % increases for light AND heavy attacks and Bear is more heavy oriented. In each tree you'll find bonuses to stun, damage and the like if you are wearing the armour or using the weapons of that tree, like a Bear weapon would gain the benefits of the "bonus to stun when using bear weapons" and a Wolf weapon wouldn't.
    One thing that baffles me about this system is that some weapons and armour aren't consigned to certain groups, like you can find a dagger that is under the Bear tree, despite being a low damage fast attack weapon which would be more leaning to the Raven tree and there is a Raven greatsword, despite leaning into more Bear tree territory. So not all Greatswords gain bonuses from the heavy weapons tree and not all Daggers gain bonuses from the light weapons tree.
    With that said though, I am glad that we get to mix and match our weapon sets instead of being stuck with a Sword, Spear, Daggers, Hammer or a Giant Axe, now we can have a greatsword and a flail if we want, or a dagger and a hammer.

      For me, this game is far from origins standard. I didn't find any good "reason" to the story. Why eivor do this, why eivor do that, why u must go to point A or point B, why u need to kill that dude. What is the point, revenge? No, eivor already kill the dude that kill. his parents in the opening arc. This game title is ASSASSINS CREED, but the story in main game is focused on the viking that conveniently is odin descendant raid this and that and then give us an assassins/hidden ones-focused DLC.

    I only had three problems with this game. The first one is that I've had around 3 crashes. Albeit, I'm like 40 hours in so I should expect some crashes, but still. 2nd is occassionally during fist fight battles, even when I'm right next to the person, sometimes my blows don't connect, leading me to get hit one or two extra times can be annoying. Three, the entire Yule event and the Yule fighting is full of bugs and glitches. I suggest playing the Yule fighting event, but be prepared for not always hitting your opponent, for hovering above the ground for about 10 seconds until you role away, and not always managing to hit your target at the beginning of the fight because there is an invisible wall there.

    For some reason, I found the zealots exceptionally easier if there were other enemies around. I could use them to poison of light the battle field on fire, I could throw their dropped weapons, I could get health back from them, I could throw or kick or whip them into other enemies, and I could get more perks activated. I usually tried to lure most zealots to a wandering group of enemies with the exception of four or five guys.

    I agree with the majority of your talking points. While I didn't have as many bugs as you, I did have a handful that really made the game frustrating. Here are a few that I faced:
    1. random spots on the map would cause me to go into a perma slide while staying in place. The only fix that worked was reloading.
    2. Without spoiling anything, there's a merchant in my settlement that is broken for me. I am unable to talk with them and view their store. I have 110hrs on my main save and they have been bugged since the start.
    3. Boats randomly floating, including my own ship. Would happen when trying to start a raid from time to time.
    Even with these bugs, I thoroughly enjoyed AC:V. I'm so happy they brought the story line around to continue it further. I'm looking forward to the DLC to see how they continue the story, both "in game" and "out of game." I wish that the cities villages had more happening. There's a few that really feel like a busy area, but most of them feel extremely empty, even though there's a ton of houses / buildings.

    Best review for this game to be honest,it was the most "fair" talking about the positives and negatives with reasonable manner,and i really like how fizhy dont put a score on the game,because at the end of the day what the number represents? What could be a 10/10 For a person for me could be a 6/10 For me and so on.

      I hope so too but I wouldn't hold my breath. God imagine the hype if the next AC came out in 2023 and the gameplay mechanics were like classic Assassin's Creed.

      I personally enjoy the RPG style, but then again i'm bias toward RPG games
      but i do really hope we finally get a AC game where the main focus is on the brotherhood, feels like forever since we've had a AC game like that

      The next Assassin's Creed could possibly be an RPG where we actually get to role-play as an Assassin, a member of the Brotherhood. We could play as an Assassin who eventually works his way up to the rank of Master or even Mentor as he explores the open world and takes on assassination contracts for either the order or civilians, much like the Witcher Contracts from The Witcher 3. It could also be a game that would prioritize stealth over combat, investing in items and equipment that would make the former a more preferable approach. Upgrading the hidden blade for faster assassinations, equipping gear that make enemies take longer to detect you, a more in-depth parkour system, crafting bombs, poison darts, recruiting NPCs into the Assassins, etc. I'm just spit-balling here, but I would personally would love to see something like this!

    23:30 I didn't experience many bugs on the XBox One, but my game would crash at least once a day, and a few times I lost several hours of gameplay to corrupted save files which was really frustrating.

    I feel this may be controversial but, I greatly disliked the Assassins part of this game. Personally I don’t think it’s cos that part is bad but the bits when your just doing what Vikings do in the story are ten times more enjoyable
    The modern day ending overall left a sour taste in my mouth I just can’t get rid of.
