Weird there's no thread for the new AC Valhalla
I bought this yesterday, but my god it's unfinished. I rarely buy games new and tend to buy them when they're cheap, however having bought Odyssey for £8 a few months back, i thought i'd go for it.
Is this the typical standard of new games where you wait a while for updates/patches to fix things or is this a particularly bad effort? I only played up to the point you fight that guy in the longhouse about 10 minutes in, and i've turned invisible, got stuck on rocks and all kinds of mess.
Think i'm going to shelve it for a couple weeks to allow some patches to be released.
I'm not sure if it across the board these days with new games. But UBISOFT have a track record for releasing unfinished or broken games and then spend a year patching them up.
I stopped buying their games on release after Ravesnhield. Only recently did I break that rule with The Division. On release it seemed ok, I only really played the SP aspect of the game.
But the MP was busted at the start, lots of cheats able to get top tier loot very easily. Since then it stabilised and became a great game. Think likewise with Rainbow 6 siege, then they really
focused on getting it where it needed to be and is now a big hitter of a game.
Numerous other titles have suffered a similar fate on release and have become decent games. Ubisoft have the talent
and do make great games (well some of them) I'm unsure on the real reason they release them as they do, potentially pressure to hit deadlines. I now wait for reviews or just avoid until dirt cheap.
I picked up Breakpoint recently for a tenner and just didn't get on with it despite really enjoying wildlands.
