This game is great for mixiing combat styles, bow and arrow, melee, stealth, stealth bow and arrow. Just throw everything together and use all the tool the devs give you, really enhances the experience.
I really hope they keep going in this direction, the atmosphere and the more assassin based content is what we fell in love with. I'm sick of barging down forts and hacking away at people, the combat is pretty fun but after 80hrs, I'm more than over it now. It's Ubisoft though, I'm ready to be disappointed again
The dlc is kinda disappointing. Even though the graphic is great as always, the content is just not enough for me and there are a lot of missed opportunities, considering that so many more contents could be explored in the dlc. Rollo and the Frankish lady Estrid could be added in the game but Ubisoft simply forgets about the characters that they created. And most importantly, where is my Isu weapon? I mean we should get one after finishing the dlc, right?
Stealth mission while hiding in bushes with that Scythe is a Big-Joke Edit: Why everyone is misunderstanding ? I'm just saying its just too funny. But a 7 feet scythe sticking out while hiding in bushes felt a bit too much. I'm not complaining . I'm just saying that it is too funny too overlook . I can't believe so many felt offended for a simple fun comment. Please don't tell me to play or not to play. Have your own opinion about the game. This just my opinion. I don't mean any offence to anyone. If you can't take a simple opinion of a person on social media, something is really wrong with your thinking. Work on your social skills dear attackers
@@Shiva_Codes i was being real.. how can u even complain about something like this lmao when you’re not forced to use those weapons? i swear you ezio fanboys always keep suprising me with your stupidity and complaints
@@steff97official Its not complaining , its called pointing out some silly mechanics, these will help the Devs note their mistakes and help in developing a even better game experience. As a gamer I ask for an improved experience. If u want to play the game even after how bad it was or how many silly mechanics it has do it. Its ur decision. Don't tell others what to do.
The map was tiny compared even to Ireland, but it just highlighted to me how density is far more important than size. There was more than enough space to fit everything in. The plague rats were annoyingly mediocre. They're next to useless if you try it in England, where enemies run away from the arrow and seek cover, while the rats just mill around without seeking out prey. Plus, the "wild" rats you encounter in Francia are just reskinned fire. When I got attacked the first time, my Eivor even starts complaining about "damn flames" and exclaiming "put it out". Seems like a lot of wasted potential, as well as missing half of the story, especially compared to Wrath of the Druids DLC. You get a blacksmith in Francia, but nothing else. There's no harbour, so no ship customisation. There's a story explanation as to why you have to leave your longship at the entrance to the map, yet you can summon it whenever you want and sail up and down the rivers anyway; no tattoo artist to apply the designs available; the mind-numbingly tedious repetition of the firefly missions, with only one type worth your time; the head of the legendary bull that you're informed to take to a taxidermist to make a trophy out of - except you can't. I can't say it's worth the money in the end. It feels cut short, so they can monetise the completion, where we'll undoubtedly discover that the third unknown female leader of the Bellatores Dei is the Queen.
At this point this game is an unholy abomination of all the popular action RPG tropes in gaming of the last two decades coupled with Ubisoft's corporate greed. Close up animations of human anatomy for killmoves like Mortal Kombat? We got that. Gathering clues from notes to unlock new dialogue options like DA:Inquisition ? Check. Executing targets during dialogue cutscenes like Alpha Protocol ? Check. Multiple romance options but no real nudity like Witcher 1 ? Check. Zoom in on the reticle on the target before firing an arrow accompanied by slowmo & breathing sounds like Skyrim? Check. And the list goes on and on.
You are gonna loveee the 60 fps. Feels amazing. I play it on Series X myself and tested the game on One X out of curiosity. While the game is still beautiful on that console the downgrade to 30 fps is massive.
@@jahaelwilliams4807 how is that any good? Yeah we can still play them, but that’s not why people are complaining, it’s because there’s no NEW content that sticks to what made the OG games so much better than the new ones. Why should we be stuck with old stuff we’ve played countless times?
I just finished it and it's so great taking part in big Events in History. even if it's just a small map..getting to explore new places is great, Francia is no different.
why I play Assassins Creed in the first place, being able to explore Historical places like Greece and Egypt and meet Historical figures is great as well. and yes I know the series is more Historical Fiction but still. I love history and well..I love exploring old ruins and such even if it's just in a game lol.
why compare a game to a cartoon? Ducktales is irrelevant, AC is Historical...you get to explore historical sites and time periods and meet people and figures from those time periods. It is Historical Fiction at best but Ubisoft does their research and brings these great Historical Era's to life so we can experience them. Seriously you get to visit the City of Alexandria and Library in Origins, Athens in Odyssey, and so much more throughout Our History. They do their research and I love exploring Historical places and meeting Historical Figures from Our Past and I will look forward to each AC Entry they bring to us.
The Games are Fictional, yes, but the Places and People are not. Try Playing the games yourself instead of spouting assumptions. The Sci-Fi Bullshit? is actually possible if we had the right technology today. The Isu being a huge what if are the catalyst for the games as well as the Assassin/Templar conflict of the games. How about looking up a few of the Historical Figures from the games? many are real people you meet and assassinate and they lived and died during those time periods. Ravensthorpe is a real place. as for the Scale in the games? if talking about the worlds, sure..but they condensed England and France down because no one would want to ride across England or France because of how large they are, Greece in AC Odyssey is big because it takes place across the Greek Isles and you get a SHip to sail from Isle to Isle. I am not an Idiot and even I know History Books were written by the victors and would have outdated information. Besides I trust Ubisoft with Assassins Creed because unlike Reading about an Event? I get to experience it in a Game, Fictional or not.
@Fishy Vagina AC never claimed to be 100% historical accurate.they say they have been inspired by historical figures and events. As said above, AC is historical fiction with scifi elements. The architecture and social behaviour among the citizens in for example Athens is correct. For instance the district Keramaikos where everything potteryrelated was produced. And if you want to learn more you have these infopages and that explorationmode available. The value here is that it can plant a seed of interest in history for youths around the world. To nourish the interest in archaology and history. That is how it started for me, with age of Empires.
I played and completed everything on PS5. It was great looking and it was fun for a good while but the multiple sort of not quite endings did nothing really to advance the lore and it started to grate on me and drag but I hd been playing so long I had to finish. So thanks Ubisoft but I had more than my fill of the game
Pretty much how I felt too. Took me 100+ hours to just finish the main story and I'm not exactly someone who goes around doing every single side quest or finding every item. The game demands too much time for relatively little reward. It's the kind of game you can pick up for a couple hours, have a bit of fun with, then leave it on the shelf for a couple weeks, come back, rinse and repeat. I really felt like some of the game mechanics took a major step backward from Odyssey too. Skill tree is an absolute mess. Unlocking abilities is pot luck. Using abilities is nerfed so you can only have 4 equipped at once. You have to spend silver just to transmog when this was free in previous games. A lot of strange decisions that just take away the fun IMO.
Unity style assassin missions NEED to be brought back and integrated fully, throughout Valhalla there’s no reason to play stealth and at times it’s even impossible to do so
Hey can someone help? How do you get past the dag bug?I know this was an issue for a lot and I can’t for the life of me figure it out what to do and haven’t had any luck looking for a solution
I was expecting more targets to assassinate and hidden ones stuff. The siege was pretty janky and underwhelming and this really intriguing bellatorus dae stuff just vanished. 3/5 decent but underwhelming.
For me an 8. Good dlc, and vibes of battle of Forli from AC 2. Darker, more focused story. I also like the raid mission feature. However i did most of that after the story arc. The hidden ones story here hinted at some assassin working in the shadows. I hope we will learn about that later on. The story of eivor is not over at all. I predict more to come cause there are some huge questions that needs an answer-why did Eivor move to Newfoundland?:)
So let me split this into a few categories Story: 9/10 (I was genuinely invested in these characters, it was kinda hard to kill Charles but I know it was for the best. I also like the internal conflicts in Charles and sigfred.) Characters: 8/10 (Loved a vast majority of the characters but I do kinda dislike the overemphasizing on god and what not with the queen) Map size: 8/10 (not the biggest but it literally doesn’t need to be.) map accessibility: 5/10 (the fact that you can only access the palace and the villa once is a catastrophic shortcoming especially since one of these two zones take up nearly a 9th of the map.) Abilities: 7/10 (I really love the rats. It’s a fun ability. Otherwise nothing to ground breaking.) Gameplay: 8/10 (It’s fun and nicely paced however EVERYTHING IS DENSELY OVERLEVELED!!!) New mechanics: 7/10 (The rebel camps are a fun idea however the rats make me angry, sometimes you can’t get rid of them and they can sap you of so much health. Weapons: 10/10 (Short Swords and Scythes?! Are you guys crazy?! I LOOOOOVE IT!!!) Appearal: 2/10 (Only two sets…….. I know that these sets are amazing but only two…… two…… disappointing…..) Bugs: 0/10 (This dlc has far too many to count but I’ll say this, they need to desperately fix the lag and crashing bugs, I crashed so many times…… it’s a little ridiculous.) Overall Rating: 7/10 (It’s a wonderful dlc but it does have major problems that hold it back. It needs fixing soon.)
and raventhorpe. Its ravens not raven isnt it Most reviewers just blow through the content to be the first review online, rather than enjoying the content properly and giving a fully accurate review
When valhalla was first announced I wanted a Viking game that was as realistic as the Viking show but this one has flaming swords and crazy abilities and wacky combat instead sadly
You can still choose to play a more realistic way. Now that the game has transmog you can have great armor but still choose another outfit over them. Same with the weapons. I skipped using all the "unnatural" abilities and used the more realistic ones. You can choose your own immersion, some people like the fantasy bullcrap, and thats fine.
With the small map size I was hoping that there would be a ton of underwater caves. Sure wish they would bring back the part where you can hit the r2 button on a really long fall and take zero damage.
I don’t wanna do the mission halfway through the game because Sigfred is a JERK. He mocked Evior even though he was the only one who agreed to help him.
The dlc was great but was lacking lord of things like more armor sets and more one handed swords instead of just 4 of them but I would like to see a hoodie without a cloak
Sadly the save file error bug has brough my enjoyment of Siege of Paris to a grinding halt. It's a shame as I've loved playing AC Valhalla. Hope Ubidoft patch & fix it ASAP so I can play it.
The outfits and weapons in this game are the biggest eye sore. Does not look like a Viking game the same way Origins looked Egyptian. Even Odyssey did a better job with this lol.....
I want to love this game but I'm right at the point where the power creep is just stupid. I'm lvl 92 and the next mission requirements is lvl 150, and this is for all the quest and areas. Even with double XP (which I had to pay extra money for) it's ridiculous to have to do a bunch of side stories to level up 60 lvls just to continue the story. Then after that the power creep is 190 and then 220. Like wtf were they thinking with this?
And it's called rpg game , lvl up your character to progress onward. They added this in the AC origins a long time ago. You didn't play the origin and odessy ?
@@vool6042 Yes I've played every AC to date. A good RPG doesn't intentionally halt a main story to pan out the play time and make you do side missions. If the last lvl recommended lvl was 90 and the very next lvl is 150, tell me how that's good for the player? A good RPG just should be able to have a better free flowing story that will slowly progress you to the required level to play the next mission. There's no excuse for the way they handled this.
Weird...I was already over-leveled when I reached England, because I had entirely completed the Norway part...I never had to buy the XP boost. It would have been ridiculous. That said, players have to follow the story and tackle the appropriate territories' conquests for their levels. If you attempt to do territories that are way higher level than you are, well then yes. You will die. The Siege of Paris DLC is set at Power level 200 and that's a minimum, but by the time I did it, I was 391 which was very comfy.
I love the tone and atmosphere, from the bleak, war torn, plague ridden landscape to the architecture and ambience music. hating the cavarly enemies though. I feel like the game is heading for feature creep with all the tacked on systems that dont contribute to the main game. between siege of paris, wrath of druids, river raids and mastery challenges we have 4 different currencies earned though different activities to spend in 4 different shops with a finite number of gear and cosmetics. once everything is bought, the currencies and activities for earning them become redundant. theres technically replay ability there but theres no incentive to. plus for me, because they dont add the new enemy types and such to england It feels to me the DLC's are making the main england map a bit redundant as well. I want to be able to encounter druids, werewolves, and cavalry in england too.
France-ee-ah, oh come on 😂 When I hear reviewers mispronounce names of a game's characters or setting, it makes me wonder if they even actually played it
''Kingdom of the Franks'' in Gallo-Roman language - Francia also covered most of today's Germany. The western part of Francia (which is the actual France and Belgium) was also called Neustria.
Ubisoft are way ahead with world building, but worlds behind with facial animations…….they are just terrible! Also the character models and stances during the conversation sequences are just reused assets from Odyssey spruced up for this game. The title as a whole has been a complete let down as most of these bloated Ubisoft worlds are, this expansion promised so much more and delivered more of the same. Shame on you Ubisoft, shame on you
I honestly hated this DLC. And the absurdity and level of fantasy in that first fight clip you used is like a micro cosmos showing everything that is wrong with Assassins Creed today.
Real live service game! Buy the game, play about 70 hrs and wait, wait, wait for some content/DLC, wait again......buy next season pass to wait, wait again for........ never ending story till the sales drop and they pull the plug out.
Ubisoft embarrasses itself more with everyday assassin's creed release. How in the ACTUAL FUCK can a normal man (suppose to be an assassin!) summon plague rats? What is this shit? And how can enemy soldiers survive a bomb blast literally attached to their body. I hate all and everything they have done to this series. It's like watching someone get beaten to death with a baseball bat.
I really wish this game had of been anything other than assassins creed. I just wanted to play as a viking but they tried their best to make me play as a viqueen
Aweful voice acting, weird writing and most cutscenes feel like they're badly edited. There are cuts between the voice lines and it makes the cutscenes feel really choppy. Paris is too small of a city and it should've been larger. Yes, it feels more and more like Odyssey. It's not a fun action rpg and c'mon... you can ride a fcking bear?? Why?? We want old Assassin's Creed back!!
Damn the cutscenes in the fight inside the paris was so bad. Like a ps3 game and this lip sync in some characters, the bishop was speaking with his teeth closed....
@@akaChriss4L imagine how poorly this dlc is made. When you raid the 2 monasteries in francia you loot raw materials. For what? They forgot to change the chests? Wtf where should we use the raw materials when we have like 80+ in the game?
i love the this game but tbh with this story there going through i think they r going to bring desmond n layla back to life somehow bc of the romantic vibe not that bc they have to stop basim n who ever is in the staff
You know, I've never heard A.C being counted in the 'stealth' genre. Especially the previous three titles; why not just accept that it's a great RPG. Stealth game? Nah.
I prefer a narrow spread of urban activities than having to travel all the time in empty spaces...My jab of AC Creed happens in dense cities, because parkour and using populace to hide, strike and then disappear are my preferred activities. To this day, AC2 Venice and Unity Paris were my preferred settings.
7 to 8 hours lol no chance.. its excellent dlc.. no mention on the score? Laced with dread the score is very atmospheric and perfectly accompanies some of the war ravaged outskirts of paris
I think it was overrated at the beginning because it had a cool introduction with the combat and story but the more you play it the more you realise it’s the same boring shit over and over so now people don’t like it as much
I'm glad I stuck around for origins and odesesey but glad I skipped this one. After this I completely understand why everyone has trepidations towards the infinity stuff years ahead of it. This Valhalla game seems regressive to me compared to the other entries . Imma continue to skip this one . Ain't for me and it's fine . I hear people still have bugs, save problems , quest being unable to complete while u hours in , etc . I can't be bothered with none of that crap lol . I'd be running up walls like sonic of I got hours in this game and getting soft locked or hard locked out the game . That's crazy . Ubisoft looking bad out here ok top of the personal things they got goin on in their studios .
@@Slapnuts9627 I'll take Valhalla over Odyssey anyday....but maybe that's because I'm norwegian :) The game is not very true to the real vikings, but hey...vikings from Norway :D And to be real picky: I don't understand why he was dissapointed about the rats. The black plague happened at least 200 years after "the age of vikings" ended, so historicaly it would be a mistake :)
@@mistercruise I'm not Norwegian, but I do have some Danish in me from Danelaw and the colonies :D I loved going up to Yorkshire where my family immigrated from, and hearing the Britons speak a Welsh like language which I know a little of. Like a little journey through time.

Brings back an old school vibe to Brotherhood with the Rebel missions even if it is toned down to just a repetitive side quest.
They felt that way in brotherhood too tho. AC has never been strong with side content imo.

Most reviewers just blow through the content to be the first review online, rather than enjoying the content properly and giving a fully accurate review
The main character’s name is said over and over in the game, and this person says it wrong…did he play the game, or just narration
When valhalla was first announced I wanted a Viking game that was as realistic as the Viking show but this one has flaming swords and crazy abilities and wacky combat instead sadly
Absolutely. Really water's down the exciting historical backdrop for me.
You can still choose to play a more realistic way. Now that the game has transmog you can have great armor but still choose another outfit over them. Same with the weapons. I skipped using all the "unnatural" abilities and used the more realistic ones. You can choose your own immersion, some people like the fantasy bullcrap, and thats fine.
"assassins"
Yeah...
right...
"Assassins"
With the small map size I was hoping that there would be a ton of underwater caves. Sure wish they would bring back the part where you can hit the r2 button on a really long fall and take zero damage.
What armor set is he wearing in this video?
I kinda hope we get a weird DLC since they are planning more support.
I don’t wanna do the mission halfway through the game because Sigfred is a JERK.
He mocked Evior even though he was the only one who agreed to help him.
Eivor
The dlc was great but was lacking lord of things like more armor sets and more one handed swords instead of just 4 of them but I would like to see a hoodie without a cloak
Sadly the save file error bug has brough my enjoyment of Siege of Paris to a grinding halt. It's a shame as I've loved playing AC Valhalla. Hope Ubidoft patch & fix it ASAP so I can play it.
please. have u even played the game or watched Vikings?? its Frankia..... FRANKIA... not Francia
The outfits and weapons in this game are the biggest eye sore. Does not look like a Viking game the same way Origins looked Egyptian. Even Odyssey did a better job with this lol.....
Got the Gold Edition on sale recently for $49.99 so pumped!
Druids Dlc it had werewolves it would be cool if this Dlc had vampires the song really fits the vibe
Whouldent make sense vampires are from eastern erupe
Not a fan of stealth so hopefully it doesn't affect my play style.
I want to love this game but I'm right at the point where the power creep is just stupid. I'm lvl 92 and the next mission requirements is lvl 150, and this is for all the quest and areas. Even with double XP (which I had to pay extra money for) it's ridiculous to have to do a bunch of side stories to level up 60 lvls just to continue the story. Then after that the power creep is 190 and then 220. Like wtf were they thinking with this?
And it's called rpg game , lvl up your character to progress onward. They added this in the AC origins a long time ago. You didn't play the origin and odessy ?
@@vool6042 Yes I've played every AC to date. A good RPG doesn't intentionally halt a main story to pan out the play time and make you do side missions. If the last lvl recommended lvl was 90 and the very next lvl is 150, tell me how that's good for the player? A good RPG just should be able to have a better free flowing story that will slowly progress you to the required level to play the next mission. There's no excuse for the way they handled this.
I did the 340 at like level 280 on normal
It’s so easy though lol
Weird...I was already over-leveled when I reached England, because I had entirely completed the Norway part...I never had to buy the XP boost. It would have been ridiculous. That said, players have to follow the story and tackle the appropriate territories' conquests for their levels. If you attempt to do territories that are way higher level than you are, well then yes. You will die. The Siege of Paris DLC is set at Power level 200 and that's a minimum, but by the time I did it, I was 391 which was very comfy.
Im dissapointed in valhalla overall since 5% is in scandinavia... i was "promised" norway, sweden and some denmark, at least some xD
I love the tone and atmosphere, from the bleak, war torn, plague ridden landscape to the architecture and ambience music. hating the cavarly enemies though.
I feel like the game is heading for feature creep with all the tacked on systems that dont contribute to the main game. between siege of paris, wrath of druids, river raids and mastery challenges we have 4 different currencies earned though different activities to spend in 4 different shops with a finite number of gear and cosmetics. once everything is bought, the currencies and activities for earning them become redundant. theres technically replay ability there but theres no incentive to.
plus for me, because they dont add the new enemy types and such to england It feels to me the DLC's are making the main england map a bit redundant as well. I want to be able to encounter druids, werewolves, and cavalry in england too.
If this dlc is so not related does this mean we are getting a sequal or is ubisoft just being shitty. I assume the later
I want to get into AC Valhalla so bad. But I just can’t seem to get into it.
It's one of those games you play in segments, I'm taking a 3 month break from this trash again before we go collect some more roman masks 😆
Small, empty and poorly made for this price
France-ee-ah, oh come on 😂
When I hear reviewers mispronounce names of a game's characters or setting, it makes me wonder if they even actually played it
Some of the characters in the game pronounced it like that.
''Kingdom of the Franks'' in Gallo-Roman language - Francia also covered most of today's Germany. The western part of Francia (which is the actual France and Belgium) was also called Neustria.
I would see if Nothing else. Get this DLC for the one handed swords
Ubisoft are way ahead with world building, but worlds behind with facial animations…….they are just terrible! Also the character models and stances during the conversation sequences are just reused assets from Odyssey spruced up for this game. The title as a whole has been a complete let down as most of these bloated Ubisoft worlds are, this expansion promised so much more and delivered more of the same. Shame on you Ubisoft, shame on you
@Logan Legend I'm glad you enjoyed it
How can you’ve spent so much time with this game and still not know how to pronounce the name of the main character?!
I honestly hated this DLC. And the absurdity and level of fantasy in that first fight clip you used is like a micro cosmos showing everything that is wrong with Assassins Creed today.
5 hours long without side activities while previous one took 10 hours to complete. No thanks...
Even the sude activities are a joke. I just cleared it and I feel like I was playing a ps3 game. These cutscenes and lip sync was a joke.
Real live service game!
Buy the game, play about 70 hrs and wait, wait, wait for some content/DLC, wait again......buy next season pass to wait, wait again for........
never ending story till the sales drop and they pull the plug out.
Ubisoft embarrasses itself more with everyday assassin's creed release. How in the ACTUAL FUCK can a normal man (suppose to be an assassin!) summon plague rats? What is this shit?
And how can enemy soldiers survive a bomb blast literally attached to their body.
I hate all and everything they have done to this series. It's like watching someone get beaten to death with a baseball bat.
As soon as I got up the hill and we dismounted from the horses, that chick just stayed in place and never did anything. Anyone else have that issue?
Jesus! What are you playing on? Easy?
A tooth for a tooth and a eye for a eyevor 😂😂😂
Ehmm is it normal that when the game tells you to slepp that evior sleeps so long before the siege of paris beginns
No I think that was a glitch. I had to reload my last save and then he went to sleep right away.
No I think that was a glitch. I had to reload my last save and then he went to sleep right away.
RIP to those who got the season pass
I really wish this game had of been anything other than assassins creed. I just wanted to play as a viking but they tried their best to make me play as a viqueen
Like j didn't mind the rat Ability to much it did help a few times like one thing I hope they add soon is new game plus that what I'll be happy about
There was like 2 infiltration missions
Eye-vore... when you get someone to read the script who hasnt played the game
guys really phoned it in on the background footage eh?
Aweful voice acting, weird writing and most cutscenes feel like they're badly edited. There are cuts between the voice lines and it makes the cutscenes feel really choppy. Paris is too small of a city and it should've been larger. Yes, it feels more and more like Odyssey. It's not a fun action rpg and c'mon... you can ride a fcking bear?? Why??
We want old Assassin's Creed back!!
i don't
Damn the cutscenes in the fight inside the paris was so bad. Like a ps3 game and this lip sync in some characters, the bishop was speaking with his teeth closed....
@@KostasMs Exactly this. Not sure what happened with the quality of the cutscenes after Odyssey…
@@akaChriss4L imagine how poorly this dlc is made. When you raid the 2 monasteries in francia you loot raw materials. For what? They forgot to change the chests? Wtf where should we use the raw materials when we have like 80+ in the game?
probably wait until all DLCs are out and play them all at once.
They are all out
@@chrissyvicious3537 There will be more in 2022
Every time he says "Ivor" I say "Eivor" (ee-vour)
i love the this game but tbh with this story there going through i think they r going to bring desmond n layla back to life somehow bc of the romantic vibe not that bc they have to stop basim n who ever is in the staff
@Logan Legend ya man but to me the story fantasy for me is 50/50 bc they change the objective
Man I remember back when assassins creed was based on parkour and realistic type combat lol
Wouldnt say Ac has ever been based on realistic type combat at all…
@@goonner4056 unity was legit fencing combat and the earlier titles combat system nobody was floating around, it was real hits, and looked way better
Every single Assassin's Creed videos has one of you people commenting this just get over it times change
Lololol what
@@alchemistgamer2100 what other game series has done this 360 degree change to its own franchise with legit fans
What the fuck the discover of Vineland took place 200 years after the siege of paris
You know, I've never heard A.C being counted in the 'stealth' genre. Especially the previous three titles; why not just accept that it's a great RPG. Stealth game? Nah.
The older games had way more stealth options.
It isn't even RPG!
It has some RPG elements.
Holy fuck they pronounce Eivor's name in the game it's with an "A" sound not an "I" sound. WTF Gaming Bolt?
Wonder why they made this area so incredibly small
I prefer a narrow spread of urban activities than having to travel all the time in empty spaces...My jab of AC Creed happens in dense cities, because parkour and using populace to hide, strike and then disappear are my preferred activities. To this day, AC2 Venice and Unity Paris were my preferred settings.
Ireland was better even with all that completely unrealistic magic stuff the characters were written better IMO
This DLC is very hard .. Wtf !
You had me up until you said Eyevor. No thank you.
My thoughts are assassins creed is unremarkable
Pls don't hate me
You are poo poo
Just playin lol 😂
I hate you
Ok but you're asking alot here
@@mgsxmike 😭
@@Jam-xg3qx but why is it a alot
they can do without the rats
7 to 8 hours lol no chance.. its excellent dlc.. no mention on the score? Laced with dread the score is very atmospheric and perfectly accompanies some of the war ravaged outskirts of paris
How can you even review a game when you can’t even pronounce the name of the main character?
Its not skal, its skål!!
Really leaving Valhalla on a bad note. Odyssey ended with an awesome DLC finale but Valhalla? Eh
This ain’t the last dlc lol next year season pass 2 is coming out
This ain’t the last dlc lol next year season pass 2 is coming out
Valhalla is so overrated. I quickly got totally bored playing the game and never went back to it.
overrated? a lot of people don't like it
I think it was overrated at the beginning because it had a cool introduction with the combat and story but the more you play it the more you realise it’s the same boring shit over and over so now people don’t like it as much
@@calummacwilliam5337 I agree. That was my experience. Started off cool then quickly lost its momentum
Good for u bro have a biscuit
I refunded the moment I saw my character trudge through the snow
i feel anxiety when i see people playing as female eivor...
I have one of those weirdos on my friends list, only plays with females and obsessively takes pictures of them 😆 I'm imagining a 50 year old neckbeard
What have they done to Ravadi?!!!!
Fair review score 👍🏻
4:43 He's riding on a f*cking bear tf!!
New mount 😎you get it after the first mission ha
Siege of Boris is more like it
This game was the least fun of the new entries. This entry was a step back
Good video bro
Francia… Frank-e-ah
Valhalla is just a cheap money grab. The sooner people realise that, the sooner Ubisoft will start making good games.
@MakinoGaGotoku I’m really not. I’ve played this franchise since 2013.
Lazy review: mispronunciation of locations and names, origins was a great stealth game. A thumbs down and a unsubscribe is all I recommend
There is just nothing about this game that’s interesting to me. I’ve tried.
@Logan Legend You must really love Vikings. Only tears I’ve cried are from violent boredom.
Just tell me how I can ride the bear and I'm downloading it!! 😁
You have to buy it pretty much
Actually you unlock the bear during the DLC after the first Mission
Scythe sticking out of bushes. That's some crappy stealth. No wonder I still haven't started playing the game yet.
Bro this game is bland
My thoughts exactly I just got a ps5 and there’s no way I’m starting this game from the beginning again haha
Loved it personally
Nice
Boring dlc compared to Ireland
EYEVOR huh?😂
I'm glad I stuck around for origins and odesesey but glad I skipped this one. After this I completely understand why everyone has trepidations towards the infinity stuff years ahead of it. This Valhalla game seems regressive to me compared to the other entries . Imma continue to skip this one . Ain't for me and it's fine . I hear people still have bugs, save problems , quest being unable to complete while u hours in , etc . I can't be bothered with none of that crap lol . I'd be running up walls like sonic of I got hours in this game and getting soft locked or hard locked out the game . That's crazy . Ubisoft looking bad out here ok top of the personal things they got goin on in their studios .
Yeah I get you, but a lot of people hold Valhalla over Odyssey.
@@Slapnuts9627 I'll take Valhalla over Odyssey anyday....but maybe that's because I'm norwegian :) The game is not very true to the real vikings, but hey...vikings from Norway :D And to be real picky: I don't understand why he was dissapointed about the rats. The black plague happened at least 200 years after "the age of vikings" ended, so historicaly it would be a mistake :)
@@mistercruise I'm not Norwegian, but I do have some Danish in me from Danelaw and the colonies :D I loved going up to Yorkshire where my family immigrated from, and hearing the Britons speak a Welsh like language which I know a little of.
Like a little journey through time.
@@mistercruise Also I agree, it's more Hollywood Vikings than real Vikings and there's a lot of historical inaccuracy but its still fun imo
@@Slapnuts9627 It's cool to know at least a little about your herritage :) I have 190 hours in the game now....but I'm a bit of a completionist when it comes to these kind of games :)
