I think I'm going to buy the season pass (164 reais). The dollar is costing 5.31 reais, 25 dollars is 132.75 reais. I can't take the risk of having to pay 265 reais in a dlc, which would be the price for buying separately (not to mention that the dollar will go up even more)

[@dazdavis7896]

130? Dude I’ve got 290 hours in and I’m still not even done with it. I’ve still got Hamtinscire, Winchester, and Suthsexe to do. I’m at like 325 power lvl. I worked on some of these WOTD missions and then did a lot of the other shit beforehand like the isle of skye add-on. I don’t wana get everything at the very end of the game that’s literally completely pointless. The whole point is to PLAY the game using all that content. I’m in the same boat as you there. I got odin’s spear fairly early (thanks glitch) and then got the Excalibur next. The Thegn set with Excalibur is my oh shit setup, You wreck everything with it.. But I’ve also got so much time in it because I’ll fall asleep and shit with it still on lol. But I’d still have 200+ hours on it regardless at this point. I haven’t even done any of the siege of Paris stuff yet. I’m about to go start on it just to get the reaper suit because it’s sick af. Then I’ll come back to England and finish gettin Thor’s armor. Then I’ll finish the game. Then do the rest of Druids and start on Paris.

Yes! So many toxic gatekeepers in the AC community. I really appreciate you saying this and J's videos. As someone new to the AC franchise who started on Odyssey, I knew the basic concept of the universe ( the three main groups in the story the Brotherhood, the Templars and the Isu, the science fantasy elements, the present day connection, etc) and I loved it especially the Isu side, it reminded me of Tomorrow People where there were humans scattered around the world with alien genetics that make them more advanced in evolution. I liked that there was this third party to give us this look at the Brotherhood and Templars from the outside. Then I am met with ridicule for liking 'a trash game, that completely ruins what the game means' by an overwhelming amount of AC fans. It took me a while to find a good AC channel like this one and I am thankful that it's here.

The sickle sword argument is so stupid, who is actually saying it’s recycled content? I can’t believe that, that’s like saying the milanese sword from AC II is the same as it is as a legacy item in odyssey.

[@Katie-hb8iq]

I agree with the stealth problems, but it's not isolated to this dlc. My biggest pet peeve is that chain attacks often alert enemies, so I just avoided using them unless they I was 100% sure no other enemy would see it. I feel like Origins and Odyssey was a lot more forgiving with these. I also think getting spotted too early is a problem. Maybe it's more realistic, but it basically makes stealth a bad gameplay style.

As an Irishman who studied some ancient Irish history in university there is no evidence that there was a high king of Ireland, there were kings/chieftains who called themselves that and had poets call them that in songs as a form of propaganda and to boost their egos. There were kings, over-kings and kings of over-kings, they paid a tribute to the king above them in the likes of cattle etc. There is also no evidence of a centre of power at the Hill of Tara, only in mythology.

just finished the dlc. I liked it very much. it was slow paced at first but it gained speed as the story progressed!

I still haven't played "Wrath of the Druids", but I gotta tell that I got it in a reasonably good price on PC! On uPlay season pass was already down 25% from its original 39,99€ price to 29,99€. I love the 100 u-coins system on uPlay so I got extra 20% down thanks to that. Ultimately, the season pass only cost me 23,99€ (I got the base game in similar way, only cost me around 37€) ^^ Despite the games obvious shortcomings, I've already put around 160 hours on Valhalla and I can't wait to return to its world!

[@babayaga4320]

I think 15 hours is actually very good for $25. Just for a recent example, RE Village is right around 13 hours on average, so about the same, but it's a $60 game. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying this expansion is of the same quality as REV, I'm just going along with the same money/game length comparison you made, and if you think you'll enjoy the content 15 hours is well worth $25.

[@jayveeeee]

I think that’s veryyyy different because this is technically not just $25 for 15. This DLC requires the base game. So that to me means you have to consider you spent retail price for the base game. To experience this you are paying a premium no matter what. And $25 for 15 more hours on top of $60 (or less if on sale) for 100+ is... hard to justify even for someone like me who would pay $60 for an extremely high quality 8 hour game. On top of this, you mentioned RE Village. I don’t consider Valhalla to be a top shelf quality game where the hours spent lines up to a game like Village. The quality isn’t there like it is for something more polished, that goes for most open world-y type games in my book. I just think this is expensive any way you slice it. DLC is not cheap for Ubi to make. They have to charge this much to turn a profit. It’s more complicated than 15 hours for $25 bucks to me.

Yeah, thats about it I think. Just wanted to point that out I guess. Edit: I agree with your video (if I can?), and also we have an explanation for what the cursed symbols are supposed to do!

People are in such a damn hurry and it's a shame. This game gets so much hate but if you spend the time you'll realize that it has sooooo much to offer.

Does that hairstyle and beard come with this dlc ?

[@Theonlysaneperson]

Can’t wait to see all the complaints about it It gave me assassin‘s creed Odyssey bloodline DLC feelings, It made me question what I could’ve done different even though I couldn’t do anything And another thing, with the whole trading system I was hoping we would get some more weapons that we know good and well from other games, not brand new weapons but weapons that they have already made and are spread across places like Egypt

[@ilhanbayramoglu2811]

What is that hood's name? The one with assasin amblem and red colour? I loved it!

Byzantine creek set

[@jmcman6104]

Assassin's creed is so far gone at this point

[@pb25193]

I don't know why people complain about the absence of templars when literally the concept of templars did not exist before the crusades, and the trilogy games are before the crusades.

[@LCRleon]

This looks fun was hoping for little more

[@MsLegendd]

25$ it s just 2 match for DLC I personally going 2 wait for sell I did not complete the main story yet THANKS FOR REVIEW dude

[@tomh2291]

I am Irish and I was actually disappointed there wasn't a mystery of a dwarf trying to find his pot of gold.....😂

[@lakshmikanthpadayachi508]

Thanks Man, Much Appreciated 👍🏼

[@oggyraverbabyghost]

Took me about 12 hours to complete everything the longest time that I spent on one thing was fishing for the bloody sturgeon for the offering, wish it was longer & they could of made the whole of Ireland as the DLC instead of just part of it. I enjoyed playing it but was a bit disappointed after the issues of getting it as Season Pass owners like myself couldn’t play it for at least 12 hours after it released

[@dylanrinker6831]

Way to go Ubisoft, you succeeded in pissing off James, fizhy, tynamite, George! *CLAP CLAP CLAP* You brought shame to us all ac fans 🖕

[@DanceLouisDance]

Naw honestly they've hated on Assassin's Creed for the last few games...

[@Dd-fb2tj]

Yawn...

[@anonymousstill9276]

All of the people you mentioned have been hating the game since origins. It clearly shows that they are just haters, like you lol.

[@unc54]

@@DanceLouisDance You say "hated on" like it's a bad thing to dislike the changes that have happened in the series. I mean we just had a DLC that had no connection to anything Assassin's Creed

[@DanceLouisDance]

@@unc54 its ok to dislike changes. , but, y question to those youtubers is why do they keep playing a franchise they obviously don't like or enjoy anymore? I stopped playing COD because I hated the changes, I stopped playing NFS because I didn't like the style of the new games.

[@seanwhalen5738]

They did a really great job with this. Im really pleased.

[@wisdomgreenleaf3387]

I agree I enjoyed the whole game.

[@mattcl1979]

The new Greek cloak featuring an assassin insignia annoys me considering that no effort was made to further an assassins story in this dlc (while I would have preferred an assassin story I do think that the lack of it here helped to make the dlc’s story less convoluted by forcing assassins or templars into it) but I’m not a fan of ubi pretending to care or pretending to be making assassin stories by featuring the odd insignia every now and then or using the order checklist feature. It feels disingenuous to the fans that stick around for the assassin lore.

[@cloud2676]

I think we get to experience some more assassin stuff when the siege of paris releases.

[@neptune6956]

i get people complain theres not enought assasin stuff, i personally dont play Ac for that i play Ac for the world , the historical part of it make the game interesting for me and in that part i really like AC valhalla, it is the first time i finish even the dlc story i loved the story and i liked the love story with the red hair woman

[@bobjanssen1673]

I like valhalla, this story i felt was underwhelming. But i am glad to have something to do, the ring forts make better stealth than englands bandit camps Edit: as a history buff, this definitely scratched the itch that go me into ac

[@dodesskiy1]

.45 In the main some quests needed fish. I bow shot most, or ran through the water sword swinging. Dumb but true. I got the needed fish way way faster that way.

[@auditoreakis]

It was nice i really enjoyed it,but as with everything it could be better.I mean if they had made it more historically accurate and also if they had included halfdan's death which was caused by barid.Also i play unity alongside this DLC and i would prefer the towns to have more populace,especially in the second war camp that flan was there were 5 soldiers i mean it was ridiculous,it ahould have at least forty and then it would feel more like a war camp.Hope Ubi will try to improve such things in the next games to come.But in general for the viking era lovers it's an amazing game i have played 150 hours and haven't been bored yet.Also waiting for the Paris DLC,if Ubisoft play it's cards right this one has the potential to be epic

[@legoboy1382]

Yo do you think with the second dlc they will add crossbows because it will be historically accurate

[@corm7538]

Great to hear that this DLC has no modern day parts those by far are my least favorite parts of any of the AC games.

[@aeneas116116]

Yeah I need short and sweet- because I am 150 hours into ac:Valhalla and haven’t beat the game yet

[@adrielpadilla3959]

Dude I’m 14 hours I’m still haven’t beat it yet

[@marcusp2136]

Master assassin watching this: Well shi

[@mrrobluxo2369]

I think this does take place somewhere in the middle because Eivor still mentions the gods. That or they’re doing what Guthrum told them

[@auditoreakis]

Its at 789 so is after the last battle which took place at 788

[@lukeluke286]

Its more of the same. The mystical elements are poorly, or just not explained. It does no effort at all to be connected to the AC universe in anyway. the writing is meh, its not terrible just not memeroble in any way.

[@TheDreamManifester]

That bug has been there since launch for me!

[@Joel-fu4ci]

the streams for this dlc kept me entertained during online school 😅😅

[@nygeek6471]

Glad you’re paying attention in school, you’ll have a great job when you’re done.

[@Joel-fu4ci]

@@nygeek6471 bruhh ok💀

[@wordragon]

It’s funny to hear someone complain about a 20+ hour content piece costing $25. Specifically for a game that is really AAA in almost every aspect of it. There are over hyped budget games that cost $25 and have much less content that no one complains about. It is a weird criticism that really only gets thrown at these big franchises.

[@nygeek6471]

Is it worth the $25? I feel like these 10 hour DLCs should be $20

[@dodesskiy1]

Check out cdkeys in a while, give it time. I got unity for $6 there not long ago, and some other things. You'd be surprised.

[@thehiddenone2875]

I enjoyed Valhalla all the way through even though i had seveal complaints (about 2 full pages in open office). I still had so much fun, however sibce i already had my fair share of doing what a king wants and just doing what they want you to do, i didnt like that in the dlc. Ubisoft please next time take into consideration that the protagonist ist just a lapdog running errands.

[@anonymousstill9276]

Kid: I need you to help me find my toenail. Eivor: Yesssssssss my Lord Eivor: the guards here are vigilant. After quest Kid: Thank you for my Toenail. Good dog, want to play fetch, go get it. Eivor aggressively runs to the bones.

[@thehiddenone2875]

@@anonymousstill9276 Sad but true :D Felt the same about Eivors Cousin

[@kissjonez]

Ubisoft is getting lazy & lazier! Don’t buy this DLC. It’s all copy & paste in regards to settlements. Missions are repetitive for the most parts. Wait til this add ons cost $9.99 cause that’s how much this game should cost! AC Origins was the last original concept then ODYSSEY to Valhalla Ubisoft got lazy & started copy & pasting. 🤦‍♂️
