"Made for no one." Yet ratings are majority positive while Valhalla earned more than any AC to date.

Did you watch the video? I make it clear in the intro that the meaning of the title is that while Ubisoft usually has a consistent vision for their games, Valhalla tries to be a jack of all trades that appeals to as wide an audience as possible. It wasn’t made for RPG fans or old school fans or history buffs or people who like fantasy, it was made to give all audiences a little bit without committing to any. A game for everyone, which is by definition a game for no one. Never say no one can enjoy it, and say the opposite within seconds of the video starting.

"Valhalla tries to be a game for everybody and as a result it became a game for nobody." Valhalla tries to utilize the old style and new style while "fundamentally failing". Those statements would lead someone to believe that you're inferring that Valhalla "failed" overall due to the devs trying to please everyone. 10% of this video is sprinkling in a bit of "I enjoyed Valhalla" and the graphics are great". Which I believe the graphics were the only thing you didn't criticize. The remaining 90% of the video is what you believe they did wrong or failed at. Failed combat.. Failed side quests... Failed narrative... "Gear doesn't change combat"... which is completely false. A lack of gear... There is tons of Gear throughout the game and DLC's. Purchasable gear and weapons can also be obtained in the game. Though you don't know what will be available at the time, you can still get the store gear in the game without paying a dime. Yes, I watched the video.

I do believe the game failed, and I actively say I believe it is a bad game and my least favorite in the series. But your initial statement was that me thinking it is a game for no one conflicts with the fact that a lot of others like it and that it has made a lot of money, which is a misreading of the title. I was explaining why this desire to appeal to everyone waters down the existing mechanics - which is why I don’t like it. I don’t say anywhere that these things mean others can’t like it, which is why talking about how much money it made is irrelevant. You were responding to the title alone as if I were saying “no one likes AC Valhalla,” and I was correcting you in explaining that I never say that in the video.

Best parkour in the series for sure. Even better if you install the Definitive AC 2 Parkour Mod. It gives you the ability to parkour down and hang/swing on most things in the game. Makes the best parkour in the series even better. The only downside is you have have to toggle on/off some of the features so it can remap some buttons to perform actions such as parkour down but it's mapped to the R3 button so it's pretty easy.

People say Black Flag because the overarching modern story changed and it introduced non assassin stuff and people liked that and they went with it?No. It was a one off, people liked it, moving on to next gen with Unity. The true sequel. AC 3 was the end of Desmond's and the 2012 end of world story. Black Flag was obviously a one off. Basically a spin off. They shouldnt have named it 4. Unity should have been named 4 and Black Flag just Black Flag but that might hurt sales. The real end started aith Unity. Which is the best and the worst AC game at the same time. Best gameplay. Parkour. Stealth. Social stealth. Crowd reactions. City. Cleaning climbing. Indoors and outdoors. The mystery box style missions were great. The different time periods like the Eifel Tower during WW2 very cool. But it has the worst story by far. And it was jank at release. Basically Ubisoft misinterpreted the anger at the jank with series fatigue. So they making Syndicate which you can see them start to depart from series formula. But they were already developing Syndicate when Unity was responded to by the people. So Syndicate isnt TOO different but you can see them starting to do something, anything different. The of course Origins represents the first new style of AC with the action RPG. Thats where things go off the rails. No matter if you like Origins or Odyssey or Valhalla thats the objective time line or what happened.

Hard to say as AC Black Flag was great but not exactly AC. Unity is like both the best and the worst AC simultaneously. Origins went halfway into action RPG and a lot of people liked it. Odyssey is full action RPG but I liked it. People really like Valhalla but I think its boring as hell. Then they go "back to their roots" on Valhallas engine and now it seems like the next game will be full action RPG again. All I know is Im no longer at all interested...

My favorite protagonist is Altair. I've always liked his mysterious, and imposing kind of character, no other character, not even Ezio, made me enjoy the series as much. Personally, I lost interest in AC after Black Flag, and the only game I actually liked after ACIII was Syndicate and part of that has to do with the characters you play as and the combat of the games. It's a genuinely fun game, and not enough people talk about it, and I feel bad for writing it off and assuming I wouldn't like it because it was post-Desmond. To be fair, Ubisoft as a whole, especially now, doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me. Maybe I should give ACIV more of a chance, I was just very bored with the game personally at the time.

I always disliked black flag because of the pirate themed stuff which didn't gel well with the assassins, the last AC to me is Unity. It's my favorite proper Assassin's creed game, even though it was so hated at launch because of all the bugs, also the story is all over the place 😆

Mirage has the opposite movement of dying light. Mirage is very limited or buggy and very linear there is no expression or freedom of movement. Dying Light's movement has freedom and expression you can go anywhere climb anything and never feel janky or buggy or slow or be like bro i should be able to climb that even tho it's a FICTIONAL video game!!! So i am saying that Mirage's parkour is very linear and is supposed to be very closed paths but those paths have alot of bumps which makes it less fun. 4/10 movement for Mirage :(

"Get bad"? Mate, it's been bad from the beginning. It's always been _painfully_ shallow, the dynamics are compressed into oblivion, and it makes virtually every wrong design decision it could make. Even the first game had arbitrary invisible triggers.

I love Valhalla, I loved Odyssey, I liked Origin although it felt like it didn't have the best fighting mechanics and for that reason I didn't feel like playing again once I finished the story. Origin had a very solid story and characters tho. All that being said I enjoyed the 3 games without having played previous AC games, I did try Unity but I completely unistalled the game, it wasn't for me....I'm not a traditional AC game fan and I think it allowed me to enjoy those games better

It felt like ac1 but with Valhalla’s engine. And an environment for stealth and parkour, they made basim faster than eivor but not as strong in combat to motivate you to stay out of combat and use stealth. Personally I loved the game it’s everything I could’ve asked for for a return to the roots without it being an exact copy of ac1.

I can say that I stopped enjoying it at unity, but I think that assassins creed 3 was the last good "assassins creed" game. I loved black flag, but all the worst parts of the game were when you had to do anything that was a hallmark of the series. As for the rest of the series... Desmond's story kept the modern segments relevant and tied all the characters you played as together in meaningful way across centuries. Once you lost that, the present day sections felt pointless and dragged down the game. There didn't feel like there was anything meaningful connecting black flag to unity to syndicate etc. So each game had to stand on its own and I feel like they didn't know what to do with it. None of the games were good enough to stand out and it's not like you were playing them to see where Desmond story goes anymore.

Adding a male option is no more "misogyny" than adding a female is "misandry." Saying that a HUGE market needs a man to play as isn't sexist; it's simply true.
@sosaysjay
@sosaysjay 6 күн бұрын
To create a female protagonist and tell the devs and writers to change it to add a male is sexist. Your argument that the same thing happening the other way is misandry is nice and all but it’s also imaginary - no one was forcing these devs to write a woman into the game for corporate reasons. Only the opposite. If a person needs a man to be the protagonist to enjoy a piece of media then I truly pity them. Depriving themselves of some of the best gaming experiences in the industry just because playing as a woman - not a Viking, or a murderer, or a reincarnation of a Norse god, but a woman - makes them feel uncomfortable.

I think strategically looking it's important for companies to have multiple franchises. The main issue with AC is that nothing really changed year after year. Having a deep library allows a company to have a few AAA games annually while allowing every franchise to take 2-3 years off so the appetite from the public is always there.
