A lot of good and a lot of bad. Might be in the minority here, but yeah. Would love to hear your favorite Assassin's Creed game! 👇
K
My fav is assassins creed brotherhood
Thanx bad

I don't really play a lot of Assassins Creed! can you tell me a recommendation for newcomers to the series?
Assassin's Creed Origin was pretty good, but that's the only one I played @_@
Isn’t it amazing how throughout history people have consistently stacked large stacks of hay at the bottom of tall buildings.
Even more amazing how the assassins are involved with all civilizations of the world and are at every important historical event... so dumb
@@hcaz5818 lmao such a dumb comment
Very nicely convenient.
lol
@@egecakar918 Not sure what that has to do with internal narrative plausibility. Dumb comment.
"game is broken up with micro.... stories"
Phew 😂
Yeah, i like myself some great mainstory when it comes to AC games. Even the side stuff in the older games were better connected to the mainstory and felt more rewarding for doing it.
In the latest 3 games it just comes with to much side shit that you don't get sucked up in the story anymore..
At what minute does he say it?
@Zen Visuals They are but it's never in your face. I didn't even realize it until the game gifted me helix credits and i ended up at the store.
@Zen Visuals 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Lol, I was the same! 😂😂
Odyssey and this, Valhalla, should be a spinoff. Like not focusing on assassins, but keeping the lore.
yeah like Vikings are in no way assassins y’know? neither are spartans they are warriors that go into battle with no mercy like a samurai
Meh
@@grrrrrrrr7587 asterisks abound in that statement, same way japanese samurai had their shinobi and Roman's had their scouts, not every viking was a warrior and everyone has a use for espionage
At this point id rather they reboot the series and carry on from an alternate timeline in which Desmond didn’t die. This way all the unrealistic stuff could be weeded out, such as giant snakes and stuff and the good bits of lore from the newer games could be kept.
@@grrrrrrrr7587 Edward Kenway wasnt an Assassin either.
I hate not having the time being able to play games as much as I used to.
isn't that a sad truth
same here
But at least we get the money to buy these games 🤑
It means you have a life and it's a good news
Damn same bruh
So basically buy it a year later when it's half price and patched.
Again.
Basically every 2020 triple a game
@Caleb I hate to burst your bubble, but Cyberpunk is so overhyped that it is certainly going to be a disappointment when it comes out.
@@IcarusFallz mmm I'll shoot Ghost of Tsushima and FFVIIR as great 2020 releases
@@ericktorres9791 I agree that it’s going to be overhyped, but it’ll still be really good. CD Projekt Red is a really good studio. They take time on their games. They care about the fans. And they’re still a smaller studio compared to the likes of Ubisoft, Bethesda, and EA, which gives them an indie developer feel. I’m trying not to watch anything on it so I won’t be disappointed at all
EDIT:
I know this didn’t age well🤣
@@ericktorres9791 cyberpunk is being made by a good gaming company. Put some respect in your mouth, don’t try to ascertain that before we’ve even seen it. If it was madden, 2k, or assassins creed for that matter i would understand.
“First few hours”
*me still exploring the mountains in Norway after 10 hours*
🤣🤣 facts my mate was telling me he cracked on and went straight to England I was like i'ma just do a bit of exploring first 😅
I was thinking the same thing.
yeah im the same, I always want to 100% the regions like other AC games. get all the loot ect...
A. Sav YES, thought I was the only one lmao
Lmao same. Took me like 15 hours to finally leave Norway cause I wanted all the good stuff 😂
I’m loving the game. I love the history and mythology side of these games. I’m a huge history lover. Imagine an AC game in ancient Maya.
Maybe something where there's a conflict between the Maya and Inca or Aztecs or something. I would love to see that. Although the character can't take part in the conflict as that's not how Assassin's Creed lore works (something Ubisoft seemed to forget with Odyssey).
Now that I think about it, how would the Assassin order make it from the old world to the new one before it's discovery?
@@reallyFrogman would be cool! I’m not caught up on the actual AC story line. So I wouldn’t know, I’ve only played odyssey, black flag and now Valhalla. Which one should I try next? I hear some of them are worth missing.
@@Milokitty-en5nb Play the first one
I love the history but the story is boring af. I rather play Ragnar or his sons...
@@reallyFrogman A conflict between the Maya and Inca or Aztecs would be hard to pull off seeing as they didn't exist at the same time.
I agree that within the first few hours the travel can seem monotonous, but my advice to any new players would be to use your long ship to travel along the rivers, unlocking fast travel docks, whilst heading towards the sync points. Go to them on foot, the game is forgiving with objective times letting you do what you want at almost any point and npcs will wait for you if your vere off to do something like climb a sync tower so be sure to always climb up unlocking fast travels consistently as you go, withing a few hours you should have enough unlocked to always have a fast travel point near your next objective.
This is a “before you buy” but I always watch these after I buy the game 😂
That's called "buyer's confirmation". You subconsciously seek the justification for your prior purchase. Happens with pretty much every product, be it a video game or a car.
Sometimes i watch these after I buy the game too. Think id have learned my lesson after anthem but no.
Do you like it?
No it’s unclear

So did u borrow?
@@edwardbake7130 I did. I just returned to Norway. Definitely worth the borrowing from Dave.
@@bobthedopeman7327 let Dave know I'll stop by to borrow it too.
"Vikings" and "Assassin" do not match in the same sentence
although pirates and assassins are a great mix
Have you played the game 😂 the game isnt even focused on assassins.
@@UT_Alx 2 games
Ubisoft fucked
@@fafplayz7355 nope
Because he's not an assassin, he's a viking. Though I still think they milking the lore. It's still have a LITTLE of that assassin's lore but I wouldn't name the game AC. Viking Creed sounds better
Ubisoft won't rest until two things happen:
-every culture past, present and future is featured in an AC title
-every culture stops buying AC.
That's truly an underrated game

Piracy baby
Thanks for watching regardless
When I was playing odyssey, I genuinely forgot I was playing an assassin creed game at times. Still a great game though
odyssey was my first experience with ac games and i was blown away. I didn't have any expectations how it should be and at the moment it is my favourite game ever. Just because of the historical places, the love in details in the map. Not talking about npc's but just the beauty of the looks. I could literally just walk around and be satisfied with it
@@michaelwildi9183 Wow, I didn’t like it at all, wasn’t assassins creed at all, but I guess it’s still a good game.
@Ludimaul the setting and vibe of that game and it's characters was beautiful. Black Flag and Odyssey are my two favorite AC games. I also enjoyed The China Chronicles but would prefer a full fledge Asian AC game
I couldn’t get hooked to odyssey because around the time I bought it ghost of tsushima dropped, it wasn’t the stealth that made me switch it was the sword fighting I felt like a bad ass
I just got this game for Christmas, and my gosh I love it. Although, it may be because I don’t think of it *as* an AC game, just an open world Viking game and it’s so much fun so far
Still worth buying? Or wait for price drop?
@@monkeyball9223 wait for a price drop. I got it and then got assassins creed unity just right after and Valhalla is nothing like any other assassins creed game. If you want an ac game, get the ezio collection if your on PlayStation or get unity, or black flag, or AC2, or brotherhood, just not Valhalla, odyssey, or origins. The new trilogy of “assassins creed” games just aren’t anything like the originals. Overall, if you liked origins or odyssey like a lot then Valhalla is probably for you, but if you want an actually assassins creed game then get any other game.
@@ezezezez5300 appreciate that man
@@monkeyball9223 $50 right now in steam the complete version 👌
@@ezezezez5300 is it a good viking game ? Like can you an killing machine viking or you have to play like an assassin ?

Dood I'm high I thought it was just me lmfao
@@JustcallmeGnarly22 wait, it wasn't my wifi
Honestly, if you don't treat it like an assassin's Creed game, it's a whole lot better in my opinion. I really think that they need to retire the assassin's Creed IP and actually continue on with stuff like this under a new name.
100% these last AC are so much better overall than the old ones. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug but come on.
@@mattg423 they're prolly better gameplay-wise but storywise eh. It's not nostalgia it's just love for an assassin's creed game. I think Valhalla is a great step in the right direction to be a mix of the new and old AC so that everyone can enjoy it
@@masstree3479 Ac1 and the Ezio games were horrible.
@@user-vp6cq4sv3d Yeah they have not aged well. The controls just feel so clunky.
@@user-vp6cq4sv3d Eh, i wouldn't say they are horrible, they are still pretty fun to go back to, but im probably only saying that due to nostalgic reasons, I do have to say the new games are great though, loved AC Odyssey and am going to try this one for the first time
I just wanna be able to upgrade to drakkar longships so we can have huge raiding parties, although during this time frame I believe the Drakkar ships were still not fully developed yet, but the main point is it would be cool to be able to increase crew size based on shipsize
As much as I enjoy the new AC generation,
I'd straight up pay handsome amounts of cash to play a fully remade, modernized version of the Ezio era.
One can only dream.
God bless you for this...
Original and 3 and unity and black flag should have been continued. Altair literally goes to Mongolia to fight Genghis Khan, why can't they make a sequel with that. Connor has an interesting story, can show him aging and getting better. But nope they just let his character die. Arno and Edward the same. They only bothered developing Ezio.
What the hell? The originals are already exactly what they were trying to be. What's to remake?
Right?! Like retelling the story starting with Ezio's father Giovanni (like they did in AC3 with Haytham and Connor) and then fast forwarding to a point in Ezio's life where we never saw (set between Brotherhood and Revelations) with a brand new parkour and combat system.

Finally watched a before you buy, before actually buying the game
RUclips goes down for 20 min.
Everyone: THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING!
It was annoying
It might have been 20 minutes but that 20 minutes was my lunch time to sit down and watch. Rather inconvenient but wouldn't have been a problem if I knew what was happening. My crappy internet made things worse by also playing up moments before.
Was it only 20 minutes??? 😱
@@conroygreyfin7011
There are other things to do during lunch you know.
It went down for an hour for me
Before You Buy AC Valhalla: finish Syndicate, Origins, and Odyssey because they’ve been sitting on your drive for far too long.
You’re not wrong 😅
... yes sir
Beat syndicate then bought odyssey and completed exploring the world before the main story cause quite frankly it got dull and then grabbed unity cause origins does not interest me
I bought Odyssey on launch and still haven't beat it its just so long
Finished syndicate and odyssey. Didn't buy origins because I wasn't a huge fan of the setting
Honestly , this is my first AC and I’m 90 hours in ( Late game ) and I honestly liked it , even tho it becomes too repetitive at the end . Maybe it’s because I’ve never played the other AC and this is why but I really liked the game and I’m hyped for the incoming DLC’s
I LOVE this game. I played the old ACs and I don’t think of this and did not go into it thinking of this as the same as the old ones. I went in thinking this is an open world Viking game which it does so well and I love it so much. It makes me sad how many people hate on this game
same
“Before you buy” cause it’s not like I’m already 12-15 hours in.
I already decrypted the game before release, I am already 72 hours in
14 hours in here and loving it.

IMO a great story ranging from 30-40 hours has much more value than a 120hour game
I second that!
Ordered it 30 minutes ago.

Get a refund nerd
@@AWretchedMan Jesus christ, just a regular normie not getting the joke

Good to know i was not alone when I played it this year when i got it on sale...
One day, one day there will be a game like a refined Black Flag game where you can just be a cool pirate / raider
Love your reviews dude I’m a big gamer and whenever something new comes out and I’m having doubts I always come to your channel for advice haha
The phrase “England is beautiful” has not been said aloud in well over 300 years.
as someone who lives in england, no truer thing has been said.
it is when it's sunny up north.........whch was..........about 300 years ago, ok yeah
Well, it's actually is, especially if you live in the god forsaken third world country where almost nothing happens and it's extremely hard to buy some things since the choice is rather limited, while delivery costs like a trip to Mars. GB has a spectacular nature, a nice balanced climate, and in terms of living, well, every country has it's flaws
@@steinnbjorn7627 in terms of how a certain country looks, third world countries can be far more beautiful than england, the sky is grey for 3/4 of the year and everything looks bland and generic.
You should get out more then, it only looks bad in poor areas.

Sick comment bro
@@whocares7723 Thanks bro

I haven't finished the game yet, but in my opinion, the best story arc so far is the one in East anglia
Complete edition, fully patched is a joy. Once again, play later, play better. Got it at a discount,getting the full experience and loving it. Stealth is amazing and quests plus dlcs too 😁
Sounds like a classic case of “wait for it to go on sale for $20”
I got it for free with my ryzen cpu but after playing the witcher 3 which has set high standards it's difficult to like this game as much as I want to
Graphics are really nice tho
@@justforthelols286 yeah the new AC games lack in combat department
I got the Ultimate edition for 109nok which is like 10 bucks cause ubisoft screwed up the pricing in Norway
Exactly my thoughts...
Nah man it’s worth more. Story is great and exploration is great. Definitely get standard edition or wait for Black Friday. Just have some trust :)
I'm waiting for assassins creed modern day warfare....
Oh wait... isn't that just Hitman?
nahhh its MGSV
No. Watch_Dogs
@@PurooRoy Yeah it's watchdogs even though the crossover isnt Canon...
Hitman? No
@@tegsvid8677 lmao no it isnt metal gear solid is on a much different level than this shit 🤣🤣🤣
Is the story in the game still related to Abstergo and the current/future world? I stopped playing after Syndicate, but remember being sooo invested in the story about Abstergo and the use of peoples DNA to explore the stories of their ancestors. It was such a fun and unique way of storytelling. I really miss it!
same here, I’ve stopped playing AC series since Syndicate bcs I just couldn’t get myself to get hooked on the trial version of Origins/Odyssey! I really love the Abstergo/Templar vs Assassins story in winning pieces of eden and the first civilizations etc. I wonder if it’s still heavily presented on their newer titles of the franchise. It seems just like a really massive open world RPG game.
i actually think both origins and odyssey were just better stories, with more cohesiveness to them to keep me engaged. I had a lot of the same feelings playing this one, the exploration pays off in a lot of moments but just feels like too much to keep going. It was not burn out of the new AC games because I played almost 200 hrs of odyssey, tried this one, couldn't do it, went back to origins and im having a blast in Egypt lol
Same, I played odyssey and origins multiple times and played almost 300 hrs game time but I just couldn't stomach this one and get past the first 20 hrs. I tried to like it cause I don't like giving up on games but this one broke me. I hope ac mirage is more an improvement on origins and odyssey rather than a dlc for valhalla

Hey RUclips works again! Man that was stressful.
yes
How
yeah for someone who’s on youtube all day
you telling me i do tech support for a networking company and everybody was calling !!!!
If that was stressful you need to change your way of living..
First AC game I’ve ever played. I’ve sunk a couple hours into it now and I’m loving it! Especially the music!
Always appreciate the work you guys put out, It really helps me to spend my video game budget well. I've been a long time fan of the AC series, last one I played was Unity and it just did nothin for me compared to the glory days of 1, 2 and brotherhood. AC three wasn't bad but had too much less enjoyable, uninteresting content, way to centered around upkeeping your vast stretches of land. AC Rogue I thought was a huge comeback for the series but for me it all really started slipping in quality after that. My wallet and I will be waiting until we get an AC game that's much more down to its roots and not an (Insert and 3rd person open world RPG title here) clone.
It totally ruins the experience when the audio glitches on raids. The battle cries of a dozen Vikings all going "yaaah" with the same tone at slightly different times as you charge into a village.
The audio is horrid. Battle music is soft, exploration music comes on rarely if at all and is muddy when it does. As you said, raid audio is bad too. This games audio needs way more work. I do like the game, but it needs WAY more polish
I agree. Plus the game has corrupted my save files twice. Luckily I had multiple saves and wasn't set back too much, but thats unacceptable. Even though I think this is one of the most fun in the series and has an engaging story.
Oh thank you, I thought it was a problem with my ps4, not a problem of the game, let's hope they'll fix that soon.
Terrible raid audio! Dozens of battlecries around me, but when i look around i don't see a single person...
Yea the music is the main issue with me. The ai at the hardest ain't so bad for me
When you’ve already bought the game, but still watch the whole video
haha I actually loved it
I'm sorry
And read the comments
All I heard was blah blah blah... nothing about the actual importance of the game itself. Like if it still limits character progession behind a 20-50 dollar paywall?
@@yourdaddy.956 No, it doesn't limit you, to my knowledge. You gain skill points at a good pace (sometimes given free ones for completing puzzles), weapons aren't plentiful but are few and personalized (like he said with upgrading and runes), and it just has a good feel to it whether you're exploring or doing combat. One thing I was hoping he'd mention is how if you WANT, you can enable one-hit assassination like in the older games. I do not know if Odyssey or Origins had this, as I only played a bit of Odyssey and am thoroughly enjoying Valhalla, but I did appreciate them putting that in there even if I don't use it.
My main concern with newer games and why I don’t like them is because the combat changed, I miss the feeling of fighting and being able to parry instead of blocking I hope they put that back in there in the future
surely not, because the old system was to easy and overused.
I actually loved the mini story arc structure. It kept me engaged much longer and much better than the main storylines in both Origins and Odyssey, which feel plodding and drawn out in comparison. I lost interest pretty quickly, and I still haven't finished either of the previous games, but I tanked Valhalla in about a week because I never lost interest in its storyline.
I have some major gripes with the ending though, but that's a discussion for another time.
They should have just called this game Assasin's Creed: uhtred of bebbanburg
Lol, that would be a good game
Lol I agree
A fellow man of good taste.
What does that mean?
Arseling!
Why do I always watch these after I buy the games 😐
To make your purchase feel worth it
Thats why I'm here too... smh.
😂😂😂
Same haha
Well I've already put 14 hours in and its easily my new favorite game of all time.
If ghost of tsushima and witcher had a bad ass baby its ⅞ creed Valhalla. I can see where some people feel its a bit rushed but peoples bar for standards are so high its why we all end of dying alone... playing video games 🤷♂️
One of my all time favorite games. Not necessarily because of the gameplay. But the immersion it spot on. It was even better since I happened to play this game after finishing Vikings on Netflix. Which made everything in the game more impactful. I loved fantasizing as being a Viking and pilaging and raiding. Even small details like hiding your helmet. I always play with my helmet hidden so you always see Eivor's face throughout the story. However, when I am at the final part of a story and there is a big siege starting I always put back my helmet on because to hype myself. I just jump into the fry and slaughter everyone in my ways with my dual wielding great axes fully upgraded and thane armor set. Love this game. The fantasy of being a viking and the cold atmosphere and mountains.
I think is fantastic but the leveling system is a pain in the ass lol
You make this game sound, AMAZING. I want to buy and play AC Valhalla, when I make my new PC. Alike you though I have had a resent interest with Vikings and I’m obsessed with learning their history. I hope This game will exaggerate my current fantasy. THANK YOU!
- Lennox
For me it has been smooth on pc so far, and I made it a decent way into England. Overall the game is fun, but I will have to say that I basically loved all ac games I have played...and I have played many. I suppose they are also just the type of games I like.
"Character building is great"
YES!
"In terms of your RPG stats"
oh
Haha literally my reaction
I think its the first time that I really disagree with Jake here. The story so far is really great and has the best characters since a long time
The characters in this game are actually pretty good tho
😂
Game looks garbage tbh, I quit after ac3 and returned for unity, I did go back to play black flag though. But after giving those 3 games a chance and being disappointed, I don’t think I’ll be touching ac again, I dunno how people are still buying this series.
This game is great. Just not for hardcore Assassins creed fans.
How is it great? this game is clearly unfinished
No game is great to them only ac2
@@pombo565 ac2 and black flag were the best imo
@@Kr-ui7gg ok
I disagree.Darby has put in a lot of thought into the story to make old ac fans happy.Socal stealth is back in a big way.The combat still sucks tho.
The first ever Assassin's Creed game I played was Black Flag, it was awesome. I feel like I kinda understand why people miss the old games but at the same time I think it's awesome how these games have developed. I like to think that they just haven't progressed that far as assassin's in these time lines and everything is all good lol
My first game was Origins, though it was so long ago and I was too young to remember that today
@uncolored2060 my first assasins creed game was assasins creed 2. I absolutely loved it. I played it in 2009 when I was in the 5th grade. Assasins Creed 2 is the BEST AC game!!
@@ilovepugs99 well, mine was AC Origins. I didn't play much of it but I enjoyed it
Then I played Odyssey and fell in love with it
Eventually I decided to play every and each assassin's creed game in order, starting from AC1 and currently doing AC4 and the classic ones are amazing
I’m going to stop looking up video games… every time I start a new game I think it’s amazing then I see reviews and everyone complaining about said game… AC Valhalla, Fallout 76, Elden Ring, Hogwarts etc. I’ve put in many hours into just the games I’ve listed and thought they were mind breaking, it’s always discouraging when your friends or favourite RUclipsrs shit on what I enjoy a lot. Seems like every single game that comes out now a days gets chewed up and spat out by reviews instead of just playing games for what they are like we all used to do…
One thing I love about this one is the side missions don’t feel like a chore, you run into a person and usually do something that involves the area you speak to them so you can do them within like 2 minutes and they’re always really different and fun
And alot of them are pretty amusing. Couldn't stop laughing at the axe head side mission.
I’ve only played AC 2 and Syndicate, should I check this one out or go play other ones? If others, which ones should I get?
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 You NEED to finish the Ezio trilogy. They’re the best games the AC series has easily.

Yes i love them so much! I got so excited on my first raid when i heard him singing.
Also by Jesper Kyd who was the composer for AC 2 which still is THE best soundtrack of the series. So it’s a win win!
Is the siege of paris in this game?
What the hell is a “real life viking band” lmao
@@athora4271 what he meant is they do nordic music inspired by viking folklore
Black Flag is the best. There was a good variety of on land gameplay and countless hours of ship battle gameplay. I was never burnt out on this game. I got the PS4 at launch and this was my first PS4 game and it was so much fun. I continued the same tradition and got a PS5 at launch and have been playing Valhalla non-stop. I'm loving every minute of it.
I just sat down and was like hmm where’s the review for AC: Valhalla... and boom notification from Gameranx
I don’t think he did it justice honestly,the story line is amazing it has its dark edges,few bugs here and there but they said on twitch they will be fixing,nothing that ruins the game and wants you to turn it off,maybe just your horse doing a wheelie for a couple hundred meters,would %100 recommend
I bought this mostly because how much I like the way the world looks.
That's the only thing left in AC since origins
It’s not even really assassin’s creed more so historical role play story, which I’m not mad about at all, I personally loved odyssey
@@comiluciano I think they should end this rpg trend with Valhalla and maybe be like hitman if that makes sense. Like if AC can go from AC to Witcher 3 then I would prefer if it goes from AC to Hitman.
Cause for now only the game worlds are the most tempting to me.
I liked odyssey but black flag will always be my favorite
Shriyansh Pandey i wonder what would happen if they combined the worlds of these ac games with the mechanics of the old games, like always instant killing. That may be the best ac game. But then again, since the world is so huge, i don’t know how they would manage the content, and the story would prob not be as focused as the older games. Just a curious thought tho cause i loved the old ac games for the gameplay, and the beautiful worlds of the new ones
LOOKS AMAZING!! Bought the series S a month a go and been eying this. Never played or been into these types of games but with the cyber deal I got this and Odessey and origins for a steal so trying them out! haha
I only really enjoyed the "In my Dreams" quests so build the seer's house as soon as possible!
I'm about 20 hours in. All I can say is I'm having A LOT of fun playing, issues and all. It's just fun and I like playing....call me simple minded if you like.

@@genghiskhan1089 didn’t play syndicate but I loved unity too
You’re not simple minded, you just like what you like. Nothing wrong with that
I didnt like the 2 prior to this, but this was amazing it has more content like raids, and multiple endings!
I’m glad there’s a real review, I’m tired of fake channels with “reviews” and it’s a quick 8min breakdown and what Ubisoft all ready told us.
Try out SkillUp and ACG. Both make some thorough reviews.
Yeah, my least favorite videos are ones that stretch it out for no reason.
"How to find this chest"
Then proceeds to spend twenty minutes talking about the lore of the game, before spending five minutes saying the story that you may go through to get to this chest, then thirty seconds on actually opening the chest
Watch ACG and SkillUp. The only 2 good reviewers still left who aren't shills
@@dvornikovalexei Worth A Buy as well.
ACG is a really good reviewer. Check him out.
Great overview, thank you 😊. Looking for an entry point in which to enter the series.
It'd be interesting to see Sucker Punch take this developing direction of making period piece games, Odyssey was fun for what it was but I would have loved to play it as an immersive single-player experience because of how massive and beautiful the map was, if only it was as living & breathing and detailed as Tsushima
I like to call these videos, “After you Buy”
We're slow
Though they did put out other AC Valhalla videos that were helpful before...
@@gameranxTV I will often buy a game and still watch the video just to feel good about my choice
I just like hearing Jake's opinion on games. He seems like a cool dude with similar tastes. And hes brutally honest. Which is good when reviewing imo ^^
@@gameranxTV Yakuza when??
I’m just waiting for e “Before you buy Cyberpunk 2077” episode to release.
Same here bro....
You're gonna wait until 2077
Dont worry, you are gonna buy it for sure
but many people already bought them ages ago
@@ghx5490 lol yup I bought it on August 14th LAST YEAR 2019. That has to be the longest preorder I've ever done. I can't believe it has been that long...
Got my ps5 today, cant wait to try this game. Been really not liking previous new titles, but loving witcher and vikings this seems really cool
I just started it. Loving it so far and haven't come across any bugs/glitches
Remember when Assassins Creed was about Assassins?
Ye good old days now idk if I wanna buy this typa thing
I use to I’ve jumping in hay😪
Remember when people wanted something different because the series regurgitated the same gameplay? Guess that never happened.
I am confused, I might get squadrons instead of this.
In this game they try to bring some focus on the Assassins which is a step in the right direction
... it seems like assassins creed is starting to fade away from being assassin games...
"Starting to" yeah they did that like 3 titles ago...
@Lonely Jedi linear games are great because the experience is perfectly crafted. With open world, it's not, they have to artificially make things and the experience is not consistent.
@GhostyPanic Well, i dont mind if they change genre for each game as long as it fun... i mean look at black flag, it basically a pirate tycoon game n im having a blast playing it...
@Lonely Jedi Assassin’s Creed has been gone for a while. RPG’s are great, so are all other genres, but not for Assassin’s Creed. AC had a story-driven narrative for years, which is why it got so popular. The story was rich and the characters were well developed. Not so much anymore, very forgettable. The gameplay looks good (aside from the apparent lack of stealth and focus on combat only, which is disappointing as they are Assassins), but that seems to be the direction of the game now. Had my time with it I suppose, they’re catering to a new generation.
@Lonely Jedi linear in terms of story or exploration ?. Linear story is mostly boring, because your choice will hardly matter, but linear exploration can be fun as long as it's story is branched.
Just recently finished Odyssey and I'm looking forward to Valhalla!!! This video was quite insightful!
Last one I've played was 4 should I get odyssey??
@@Stormtrooper-oc4vn Odyssey is really good. But it’s less like an assassins creed. Idk I really enjoyed it once I got into it. Valhalla thus far isn’t as good. So I’d say yes. But just realize the series is very different from how it was when black flag came out! 👌🏿👌🏿 if you get it lemme know what you think lol

I felt the exact same way! I felt Kassandra was more cocksure and adventurous and had a measure of unearned, and later earned confidence that I found charming. Alexios just seemed like the personification of a furrowed brow. All puffed out chest, no substance.
On the other hand, Male Eivor had this slimy, dangerous quality to him that made him feel genuinely threatening. Or he could be gentle, or honorable, or whatever he wanted to portray really. Female Eivor just sounded like a woman trying to play superman in a highschool play 😭
At this point, I really question why they still attach "Assassin's Creed" to the names of these titles.
Name recognition
Its surprisingly assassins creed! I really do reccomend it. I am 10 hours in and there are some AMAZING AC stuff in the game. It feels like ac is integral to the game not just an extra.
@@Ibnmehmed No, 10 hours isn't even a third of the way through the game. You need to spend more time before saying that bahaha
@@sullyschwartz2365 yeah I gues you re right but in those 10 hours I have felt more like an assassin than 300 hours of odyssey. And I think thats a good start at the least.
@Timz Tv I personally didnt, I kinda see why people did but no. If u ask me why I have that much hours in the game..... damn good question I ask myself everyday. I gues there was always this false hope that after I had done all the quests and dlc there would be this huge payoff that made all those hours grinding worth it. I was sadly wrong
Me watching it after buying:
Hmmm interesting
bro same, watching it while it’s downloading
Is it good!?
@@GBuaccc i really enjoy it, it’s very puzzle based when exploring and kinda makes you think.
@@GBuaccc I played for 19h and yeah it is good. If you like odyssey you'll like valhalla
Same
Some people like a challenge and different ways to take out different enemies. I like walking through all the enemies like I’m way more powerful. Game seems like it might be for me.
They need to make an assassin’s creed like origins and odyssey, but with an aztec warrior.
Glad RUclips is working again. I almost had to speak to my family.
XD
Lmao
This comment is gonna blow. Js
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😆
I’m still waiting on my World War 1 Assassin’s Creed 😂😂
Basically syndicate
That would be bad ass
People would complain bc use guns
@@nahidrahman6057 syndicate was 1800s. World War 1 was 1900s.
@@Antoniomarcelo069 probably, but people liked Black Flag which was pirates, with guns. Granted they were flintlocks but still guns.
U do great,u have saved me so much money,I will stand there with cell in hand n look u up to c if u done a review before I make a purchase!! again thank you..
I like that there taking risk instead of just making the same game over and over
I share the same sentiment as jake. I am burned out with these games. The sad thing for me is that these settings are increasable for these 3 games. Egypt, greece, and dark ages england. If only they created focused story driven games in these settings like the original games.
I think its pretty story driven. Its huge but it isnt bloated with endless side quests like odyssey was. Much more easier to play.
@@gabrielr5921 yeah that's what drove me away from odyssey. Good to see it's not that much of an issue in this one.
I can't speak for myself because I haven't played the game at all but I got a friend who absolutely hate it the new assassin creed games, and he's a really big assassin creed fan and he told me that he thinks that he might have changed his mind about the game, that he tried it and apparently he enjoyed it, so that's kinda pushing me into checking it out. Take that as you will.
Nah nah, you get 'more to do, less to experience'.
tbf i feel like origins had a decent story. Not played odyssey so can't comment.
me watching before you buy while the game installs: hmmm a lot to consider
me watching while downloading the crack
Hmmm i can feel the same
@@hammadrazzaq6273 CYP cracked it already?
@@hammadrazzaq6273 not even out yet but okay
@@user-oj3wi6sk3v its been out for 2 days
I just got it a few months ago and I did love the armor however I feel thanks to reda's shop it makes it a bit pointless cuz you can gather a nice set that way with time and I did find quickly on the third witch there was a certain spot on the brick wall you could stand in between being in and out of the combat area allowing me to easily take her down with a bow while she well over 100 power above me
I’m just like jake I’m more of an older AC fan, I just feel the combat was better, the stories were incredible and it didn’t rely on a loot system. And you never had to look up whether the male or female actor had the best presentation cause every characters actor was great that you enjoyed it from start to finish
Agreed, the slomos in combos where absolutely amazing. Don’t like the league of legends game style. Very disappointed since origins
1:46 that’s all I needed to know
@syntax no its not
No it’s not
But the story is good that's what matters
@syntax quit being so damn picky and sensitive
@@mosestull8137 It all depends if you like Odyssey and Origins, if you didn’t like either of them, then this game will be shit to you. If you liked one or both of them, then you may like Valhalla. It most likely will depend if you liked one or both of the last 2 games.
Ghost of Tsushima perfected assassins creed post black flag.
Ghost was good but had its flaws also , Origins was very good & Unity post launch Odyessy was great but not for the hardcore AC fan
@@CHAMPDOGZ It had it's flaws like every game ever made. Still better than Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla in most aspects. And I thought Odyssey was great fun
@@CHAMPDOGZ none of the new games have been for a hardcore games they are good games but not ac games
@@MrAustyn88 it wasnt better than Origins 3years earlier or Odyssey they were all on par as far as all good games i liked Ghost but if you take any of them from 1-3 order i wouldnt be upset with any order
@@ThatWasPrettyFunny yes very true, but just like Valhalla's combat is lacking but the rest of the game was done so well, im not saying one was better than the others, just that Ghost,Origins,Val,Ody, were all solid games.. however AC has been around much longer & though Ghost took alot of elements from AC, being that it was Ghost's 1st game in hopefully a series has us excited is very good
All I needed to know was “it’s like Origins and Odyssey” didn’t like either THAT much so definitely helpful
I want an experience like black flag. You really were a pirate. I want more focus on the lands and time your in.
When are we going to finally call Ubisoft out on their aggressively mediocre gameplay and demand more?
These games are made by the French , they already given up trying to make a decent product
@@jonwelsh4354 Ew
@@jonwelsh4354 I’ve only played AC 2 and Syndicate, should I check Valhalla out or go play other ones? If others, which ones should I get?
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 you might wanna try black flag. It’s pretty unique and by many is considered the best of the series along ac2

I feel like the game kinda eases up on what odessy wore down for me and I've really enjoyed it. Although, an og stlye AC would be great. I miss those
@Skylar Mcclure What are you on about? Every single AC is open world...
The old AC with less RPG stuff was much better.
@Skylar Mcclure Uhhh, dude that’s an undisputed fact.... AC 1 is hailed as one of the first true open world console games...
Mark my words. After the end of the ancient trilogy, they'll go back to the old school assassins creed.
Come back here when a new assassins creed game is announced.
@@hansbune3467 ubisoft’s making a ton of money off of this formula, more than the last few games prior to the trilogy. unless valhalla suddenly really falls off in sales, i doubt they want to go back
damn Jake is the man bro, Guy always nails spot on exactly how i am feeling about a game
I've been playing it for 80 hours now. power level 200. The store is 1 store just different locations. as in you buy this product from this store its going to not be there at any of the other stores. I have not messed with the how long to wait for restock. The only method for restock is to level or do some missons. I have been messing with the difficulty settings a bit still working with it. The stealth is working well. Im slightly having a headache from that assassinate button where the thing is a tiny sliver. In master stealth setting. sort of almost have a keen idea for how to do combat. when it comes to traveling, you mainly can combo boat horse and view points if you get all the view points when messing around early in the game or in parts. you will still be running around regard- less in some areas about 600 to maybe 8 or 900 Meters to main story spots. Speaking about the story, its ok, in some parts and in some could have had more added. I like the choose whos a traitor or who will rule this land type things cause some of the out comes just add to the story well. This is not a title you can just expect to play and be done in short period expect to play at lest near 100+ hours roughly. its got a bunch of different things just some need to be tweaked a good amount. Ubisoft has like 1 or 2 more Dlcs then over to the new game. I have still not messed with any dlc other than what was free to players like the. Im cool with collecting materials to upgrade gear but a slight tweak would be nice. Not had a lot of side quest experience yet.
This is like Black Flag for me. I had more fun being a pirate than being an Assasin.
Im a huge Fan of vikings soo its the same with this game for me bro
But u can DEFFINATELY b a proper assassin in this game
@@justuraveragecunt9005 my only complaint are the graphics and animations, they look like shit for a 2020 game
Exactly, does anyone even remember what assassin's creed was initially about ? lol
@@SSBandSMTfan i feel like when ubisoft do a new game that's not from a big series they just put assassin's creed before the actual name and the hidden blades
