Assassin's Creed Valhalla - TRAILER | Holiday 2020

what type of marketing is this
not gonna lie yall but im concerned AC orgins and odyseey was good..but after that presentation they had of this game a month or so ago...with all the stuttering ....im coping for ps5 but idk i got bad feeling about this game something is off with the gameplay maybe its the stamina system

I’ll wait until the gold edition is on sale if it does turn out well

Parts of the first video were mildly entertaining but I don't get the angle. Actually - I do, it's like I said several months ago, it's a white persons greatest hits type of game. Rape, pillage, invade, but rewrite history so that you don't seem like such a piece of shyt. The formula is already stale and it's only the third entry using it. They need to out the AC IP out to pasture and just move on at this point.

I think it's because these games don't have their own unique sense of gameplay anymore.

At this point, it's an action RPG with a half assed Destiny/GaaS style gear system. I think the worst thing they did with this most recent set of games was completely nerf the lethality of the characters by chasing down Souls style slower paced combat. I was in the same spot playing Odyssey where I thought that something seemed off, but just couldn't solidly define it. Then I realized that it was the combat. It just wasn't as fun as I remember previous games being. For example, in old games, something like getting spotted in a fort wouldn't be an issue, because you could easily kill off an entire mob of enemies in a short amount of time. In the new games, knowing that you're going to fight more than maybe three enemies feels like a more serious time investment.

I understand the combat had to change with the times, and this provides a (mostly welcome) challenge, but it does suck knowing that you can't just roll up and kill almost anyone pretty quickly.

I skimmed the first vid. Did the marketing people get purged too?

Because that was quite awful.

I don't mind the combat since it incentivizes stealth without making it the only option. I just hated having to level up just to be able to stab somebody in the neck one time

The final preview sold me

 

[Romell]

Watching Ubisoft North America stream this. Gameplay continues with the evolution of the Witcher 3 gameplay that Odyssey had. Seems like a good buy to me. Not sure how I'd fit in time to play with COD & Cyberpunk dropping at the same time.

 

[Brandeezy]

They finally fixed the cinematics, everybody in Odyssey and Origins was stiff af

 

[kdslittlebro]

After Last of Us 2, I might have to extend my Abby playthrough back through time and pick the female that trailer looks hard tho

 

[kdslittlebro]

What was that sound from at 5:44 of the trailer? It’s a familiar fail state chime but I can’t place it

 

[Malik1time]

updated preview...this guy played a updated version
the facial animation looks way better than that last demo
the mouth is matching the words
ok ubisoft i see they polish it up

 

[Hey_zeus]

Looks much better and the Origins comparisons are good. I'll skip the bloatfest that is Odyssey and cop this and Fenix instead.

 

[Romell]

Both the female and male characters are cannon. I wonder how this plays out in gameplay though. Is the other in your town when you're playing as your choice?

They said you can switch between them on the fly, so I gotta assume Animus fukkery
