I never finished Odyssey because I was pretty burned out on open world at the time.

Valhalla looks pretty cool. Heard theyre going to have Ragnar Lothbrooks children. Wonder if well see Ivars reign of terror

This one actually looks like it's the least Assassin's Creed of all the Assassin's Creed

i think the former. Seems like theyve gone away from the animus stuff, personally I dont mind. It always felt like it was breaking immersion for me.

im fine with abandoning the old story. brotherhood was the last one i played thru. got revelations but only played like an hour. that was like 10 years ago or something right? didnt do 3 or 4 or the spinoffs. by the time i got the itch to play AC again, it turned into an rpg without assassinating

I'll be getting it, but definitely not on launch. Let it get its dlc and updates, then get it discounted in 1 - 2 years.

A few months ago, I bought the entire AC series on PC for $118. I had only played the first couple games years and years ago. I played 1 through Revelations and a good majority of their side content, and they were pretty fun, but I tried starting 3 and decided I needed a break. I

I'll probably get to 3, Liberations, 4, Freedom Cry, Rogue in a little while. Then the rest of the series.

Honestly, there are so many games, and I have such a big backlog, I never get AAA full price anymore. Just no reason to. Plenty of games to play in the meantime. It'll take me months to play the whole AC series, and thats if Im not taking breaks, which I will be. Honestly, it will probably take me 1 or 2 more years to play the whole series up through Odyssey.

If I see Valhalla with all its DLC for $20 or $30 or less, I'll get it.

No but Im getting Black Flag. Heard it was one of the best AC games and its cheap. After that Ill get Origins since its supposed to be one of the other best AC games.

I might. Odyssey had a lot of problems but I had a lot of fun with it. They seem to be addressing some of that larger problems; they are changing the loot system so you aren't constantly being showered with junk, and they're completely changing sidequests.

Maybe I'll get it on sale at some point when they've fixed the glitches. I'm not holding out hopes though.

1 - AC Odyssey was a fucking chore, on par with Fallout 4. It stopped feeling like a game and started feeling like a second job.

2 - The writing wasn't compelling at all - the individual side quests were pretty well designed, but there was very little purpose to the overall story itself.

Point 2 was extremely disappointing for me, but it seems to be the MO for Ubisoft these days. The Division 1's plot was nothing special, but at least it told a coherent story about this terrorist attack and had you weaving your way through a post-apocalyptic NYC stopping bad guys and trying to unravel the conspiracy behind the attack. The Division 2? I don't know what the fuck the story was, and the timeline made no sense. It looked nice, but everything felt like disjointed events. Same thing with Ghost Recon - Wildlands was based on the research of legitimate academics and journalists who studied the operations of drug cartels in South America, and it was reflected in the quality of the writing, the world design, plus the gameplay itself was simple and straightforward. Breakpoint? It was just a bunch of dumb shit about drones, without any meaningful commentary about anything, plus they introduced an unnecessary convoluted equipment system and inventory management, AND the game shipped without an actual fucking ending.

So I don't really have any hopes for Valhalla. I really feel like it's going to have the bare minimum in terms of story development and the majority of it is going to be filler content that would traditionally be side content in other open world games.

It actually has Assassins in it, it's automatically more Assassin's Creed than Odyssey lol

And yeah I am, I have it paid off I just need to figure out when during the day I want to go get it.

At this point, the shitty wrist blade and the stupid DNA memory machine are the only few things remain that lets them call it Assassins Creed. Heck AC: Odyssey didnt even have the wrist blade.

Tbh I don't see an issue with it because with Origins and Odyssey the expansions have been huge, and putting them in the main game would have resulted in them being extremely watered down.

Like I'm definitely glad Ireland is in as DLC where it's the sole focus, rather than just being another area in the game.

Idk, developers have been planning expansion content for games before release for decades. The idea of selling it with the game just makes the process seem a little more transparent and it's like pre-ordering the expansion pack(s).

No, it looks like another generic huge open world ubisoft game which are a dime a dozen. I thought Odyssey was great until I realized five hours in I saw everything the game had to offer and it was just going to repeat itself for another eighty hours. Useless.

I haven't played an Ass Creed game since AC3. Viking shit appeals to me, so I might give it a go and see what the franchise is like nowadays.

Then again, I haven't intentionally bought a Ubisoft product for near a decade and I'd hate to break that glorious streak.
