Assassin's Creed Valhalla

I am very much looking forward to this.

I thought the combat was better in Odyssey, so hopefully that gets retained and improved further. I do agree that Odyssey was copy/paste repetitive in places, but it was just more of what I liked.

It's going to be pretty disappointing if they restrict a Viking game world to England. Shetland's Up Helly Aa could be a cut scene from a Viking game, the islands are absolutely steeped in Viking history.

I really do need to try Origins but I really, really, loved Odyssey. Was probably my favourite game I played last year

Having played and enjoyed both, I'd say Odyssey was better combat system, better weapons and just better all round.

Good old England

Just England? I think the Shetland folks will notice a gap in historical accuracy there.

Link works fine for me.

What do you guys think of this game after seeing the latest 'deep dive' trailer video? I was so on the fence about this game but from that trailer the world they've built looks amazing! I'm worried it's fake trailer hype though haha

Could you link to that video?

Dirk Diggler · 16 Oct 2020 at 11:16

@Tombstone thanks, I've added to the OP and tidied it up.

Wow, it looks incredible. The XSX was the right choice for it.

Could you link, please?

Game rewards site is running slower than the RTX3080 shopping basket

Dirk Diggler · 8 Nov 2020 at 21:29

I've redeemed via AMD Rewards I think. Is there any way for me to tell via web interface that I now own the game?

I can't access my PC until next week.

This is why you use 21:9 3440*1440, 4K is so meh !!

Strange, they don't look right at this end. Do you have OLED & HDR disabled in game?

Also, anyone having issues with the gold dots on the map not clearing after you've clearly cleared the area? I had one for a 'legendary' NPC, killed him, got the shiny loots (ingot) and yet the marker remains on the map. Found this several times now, as a completionist it's driving m

please tell me you meant that.

Errm, I did that weeks ago when I first received the CPU but obviously the game had not been released then.

Log in now and it'll redirect you to claim the game via embedded Ubisoft log in.

Dirk Diggler · 12 Nov 2020 at 04:54

I've had a go at it. Cuetscenes at 30fps, crushed blacks on OLED (WTF?), juddery, issues with volume cutting out, HDR a mess.

In think I'll leave it for a few weeks.

Here's the HW Unboxed optimised settings, I'll add to the OP.

Dirk Diggler · 12 Nov 2020 at 08:56

@Radox-0 thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a tinker.

Im staggered at how dreadful the ai is and how terrible the water looks.

Agree, it looks awful. It's unplayable for me in this state, will just need to wait hope it gets patched.

This is why games like Cyberpunk get delayed a few times, they just won't release in a state like this.

FFS is it really too difficult to use the spoiler tags.
