@@dandelion7575 Yeah odyssey does suck and I have to admit that Valhalla is a good improvement from it, but its still so much similar to the 2 previous games
Can't really be that quiet in the snow, and it's always been like that. Do you think that if you stab someone in real life a person 10 feet away from you won't hear it?
Dude why can’t they make a new engine for assassins creed which doesn’t include shitty stuttering when killing someone as well as the physics being really jagged and the blood is definitely the most unrealistic and I wish they can add more gore physics like slicing arms and heads and cutting bodies in half in a smooth and non stutter experience
@@vaztak4659 this is still a transition period. Valhalla isn't entirely a next gen game since it still has to be playable on PS4 and Xbox One. Same way Rogue was made for both last and current gen. Then they made Unity which was far more advanced, since it was an entirely next gen game. Chances are the next game in the franchise, not Valhalla, will be a huge redesign based on a different engine. Valhalla is also the last game in the "mini trilogy" from Origins until now, so they weren't gonna do anything huge within the same trilogy. Just like ACII, Brotherhood and Revelations were all on the same engine. If you want a true next gen Assassin's Creed experience, give it a year or two.
@Mr.Anonymous In terms of stealth kill animations, I prefer this to Ghost of Tsushima. Once you fully upgraded the tanto in Ghost, it stopped being a badass cut-throat combo take down, and became just a single, boring stab animation. At least this game has some sort of variety. In terms of actual combat animations, well... this game doesn't hold a candle to Ghost in the slightest.
@@rgtemple We hear about the brotherhood during ac Valhalla and we have an hidden blade. In Odyssey there is no brotherhood, no hidden blade and we only see 1 assassin who is called Darius and we can't even get his blade. So I missed the brotherhood
@@kytsunee6324 there’s no excuse. TLOU2 has a shitty story but look at how insane the combat looks, ghost of Tsushima too... after playing games like that, Valhalla just looks like shit in comparison.
I miss when assassins creed was actually assassins creed, like this stuff looks decent but its just not the same. Honestly ghost of tsushima is the assassins creed game that I've wanted for a long time and its not even made by ubi
I wish they did the same parkour and assassination animations of unity with the improvements of this game ,it would be epic to have the smooth parkour and the freerun down button cuz origins and odyssey were really pain without it but they were great in general
This game got a more realistic parkour than origins and Odyssey, it can't like unity but it's very good for a game like this, I played 40 hours and I highly recommend playing it
Could've been better ye, but we also have to consider that this game was built for both next and last gen consoles so they cant do too much just yet with the new hardware.
When you silently assassinate an enemy, plays assassins creed 1 assassination short song, that's rememberd me good old times. Your playing style is so fantastic
I played about 4 hours of this game.. I can barely get myself to continue.. It's SO buggy, and unpolished. It's almost 4 hours of characters standing around talking. Great video.. Perhaps I will just watch swiftly play instead :-)
@@Mccormick2023 In this case the bugs DO ruin the game for me. I played 10 hours in all, only because I payed a lot of money for the game.. I can’t get myself to continue. The game is so extremely unsatisfying to play. Finding chests in this game is SO dull it’s not even funny. The abilities are boring.. The one where he jumps and throws the axes are so weird looking and unpolished, that I can’t get myself to use it.. I’m sorry. This game is an abomination
@@swiftyunknown I feel it's much better because of one-hit assassinations, being able to choose stealth difficulty, as well as social stealth. But it has the same problem where enemies go from suspicious to immediately hostile without an actual investigative period.
The blood effects need work. For example at 1:01 where the blood squirting looks unrealistic. And also they should have including effects where blood will stain the snow
None on Eivor ever either despite constantly bathing in it. Tons of general jank just everywhere. Currently moderately enjoying it but its already starting to get repetitive.
Swifty can u tell me how the game feels to you like the stealthness parkour and the movement mechanics is good? Ur personal opinion to see if i buy it there is too many games to pick right now and there is not too much cash bro
So the "hit them in the chin with your axe then stomp on their head" animation looks really cool...but im really bothered that at the end instead of picking it back up Eivor just pulls another one off his belt
The AI is soooo intelligent! Game must be so challenging! Why did they even bother putting enemies in, if they just stand there like wooden logs, waiting to be murdered? WTF Ubisoft?
sorry to bother you but the specs for this game are insane. Do you have a 6 - 8 GB video card? I would like to buy it since it's on sale but I have a Sapphire R9 290X 4Gb i7 4790K 4Gz CPU and Win7 64bit and I don't know if I can play it.
Question about the bow? All the stuff you were doing are they Odyssey style abilities or just various skills you've unlocked through progression. Sorry if this doesn't make sense.
This is the first Assassin's Creed game in 4 years that I didn't preorder the collectors edition of. After how terrible Odyssey was, I lost hope. But this game actually looks a lot better than Odyssey! I'll have to get my hands on it at some point for sure.
Yes if you go into certain cities you can blend in with the monks, pay homeless people to distract guards and blend in by sitting down and some other things
7:48 lol nice kill
The game just got released and swiftly is already a god at it.
He always been good at games that he just started in, I think because he uses his same technique in every game
Well he played Origins and Odyssey which are the exact same as this game
Fritz except odyssey sucks
@@dandelion7575 Yeah odyssey does suck and I have to admit that Valhalla is a good improvement from it, but its still so much similar to the 2 previous games
Fritz yeah I get your point. I haven’t played Valhalla yet so I don’t know how similar the controls are so I’ll take your word for it
For a stealth game, this character sure does make a lot of noise when he moves.
the clothes have weight, the lighter the character in the game, the more quiet it is.
Can't really be that quiet in the snow, and it's always been like that. Do you think that if you stab someone in real life a person 10 feet away from you won't hear it?

Epsilon Star yea I guess ur right I loved AC unity’s engine hopefully they implement the same engine with a few fixes and it would be perfect
The stuttering when killing is a design choice to set the pace and make the combat feel heavier. I personally love it I’m not sure why y’all so mad
Simply amazing 🤩 Can’t wait to see more 🙌
At least the kill animations have finally advanced from ye ol' "stab them in the crotch"
