Finally decided to try the dlc after not touching the game for a few months but I have over 310 plus hours in it already and honestly mostly let down and very disappointed in many aspects of the game. My opinions are just that my opinions. You don't have to agree with them but I'm entitled to them regardless. The combat feels even clunkier and more weighted then it did on release. That's not a good thing. I personally adored the og combat, it was precise, took patience and skill but origins, odyssey, and now Valhalla just have smash tactics that do not feel rewarding at all. Encountered first bug after initial conversation with sigfreid or whatever where I physically could not move eivor at all as he rode way on horse back while eivor stands there like a twit. Had to reload a save which seemed to work but honestly I'm so burnt out with the wrong very buggy direction with lack luster unimpressed paid content that I'm not going to bother finishing this mess. Every patch with this game has brought on more issues and some issues like the body guard defaulting to og gear for how many months did it take them to finally fix that? Many, too many. I will not even support ubisoft in any way because they can't even keep there house in order or monitor there forums for abuse properly it's just sickening. Especially after they announced The new full live service direction for the creed it's most definitely time to wash my hands and walk away from the series since it's not even recognizable as assassins creed any more other than name only. I hated all live service features they have forced on us. Not a fan at all. I will happily replay older games like splinter cell series and older creed games and older far cry games(not 5 just terrible) with great pleasure but nothing new that comes out of ubisoft is worth my time or my money. I have been consistently disappointed. Good bye ubisoft and thanks for all the fish!

Kid not everything needs MP or co op. Assassins creed is single player and always should be.

@petek
On launch I was expecting mounted combat too probably like most players but all they gave us was a useless kick. Sure now with an upgrade update we can use a bow(which the aiming for that is still messed up and randomly jerks around for no reason) on mounts but still very lacking especially more so now with mounted attacking enemies. Another dumb decision by ubisoft!

@variousspices
Why do think I switched to ps4 pro. Xbox one x was horrid also on a lot of games, lack of customer service as well. No issues on ps4 pro so far

I wish. I contacted them about that back after origins came out and odyssey but yet it was never added. I know ever since they removed that simple but highly useful mechanic the character moves so slow. It was tied in with the parkour button before so not sure why they can't just add it back.

@s7igma957 Game does suck and a huge buggy disappointment!

@zeus-x-machina It's no glitch. Look at there helix store, they sell all those missing resources you'll ever need to upgrade the in game items. Ubisoft's greed shines once again with there helix store!

@animuslover This is going to be critical so for those of you with weak constitutions exit to left. Remember my opinions. So don't take it personal.

Just finished the newest festival garbage and very lack luster. I haven't been playing Valhalla hardly at all since I finally trudged through the weak paid story dlcs. There is just so much wrong with this being an assassins creed game just like odyssey wasn't. Odyssey was an ok game at best but a terrible assassins creed and Valhalla is even worse of an assassins creed game which I didn't think was possible but ubisoft pulled it off. I swear they lost all there talented devs years ago.

Combat is still just boring and drawn out as it can be, yes I'm talking about the forced combat finishers that trigger every other kill( for me at least) it breaks the already clunky and slow combat flow even more(why don't we have an OPTION to disable these yet?) Saw posts from a year ago about this request.

That's another problem why is social media dictating what gets addressed and fixed or changed when this ultimately is the companies decision which use to be pretty good but since more and more companies are utilizing these tactics for "support" game quality has dropped very far and player get this mixed genre of games in one package which has no identity what so ever what it wants to be anymore.

Why is live service elements being forced into a lot of single player games? There is no excuse why you need a ubisoft account to play a single player game especially if there on console. I personally don't care about there live events or there ridiculous helix store or access to the reda wannabe in game store of weekly cosmetics. Cosmetics only make the game more shallow then it already it is, which saying something.

This game is so boring despite the fact I put well over 350 plus hours into it trying to get the full experience of what I paid for and the verdict is I over paid(at any price) for this broken buggy NOT assassins creed game. I have not been impressed or happy with any recent purchases over the past few years and I say no more. I will happily replay the older games before I dish out any more money to this or any company like ubisoft.

@actroids I for one would not bother with new game plus for this shallow empty game, there is no reason to play through it again. It's not like odyssey where they held back behind xp boosters, in valhalla it's so easy to level up its not even funny. I put close to 350 hours completing everything and between the boring buggy live service trash they call festivals and the uninspired tiny story dlcs that were not worth more than $10 each maybe. I'm old school I expect a finished game and story dlcs should have hours of new content with a new story driven quest. Thats how I feel.

It has to be said but I've noticed a trend with video games last several years where most not all games are barely half-finished products that are bloated and stuffed with loot boxes or in game stores selling content that should have been in the game's day one. Even if a game does ok there covering their expenses plus some. On top of that it seems like the forums dictate whether or not a game gets continued support. Hold on that makes zero sense, why is it being left up to the whims of players who religiously post on forums or have you tube channels blah blah blah? Look at what happened to mass effect andromeda it was abandoned 3 months after release only with the trash mp support. Thats just an example. I get it takes a lot of hard work to make video games especially now a days but thats no excuse for releasing broken games like Valhalla with a predatory in game store full of over priced items day one the game comes out. That right there just proves all they care about is making as much as fast as possible in a barely functioning game. God forbid anyone talks negative about game too because it might cancel support for said game (not that what we get is actual support outside trash forced live service garbage in single player games) so players feel remorse and lie and say it's great (when it's really not) the whole system is a joke. Ubisoft and its most of its studios among Ea and there studious just don't get it anymore not that EA really ever did. Players want a complete game on release with maybe actual quality story dlc in future not highly predatory shallow cosmetic trash shoved in the bloated in game store every other week.

Ubiconnect sucks. I don't like it one bit. It always loads like trash, I like playing a game and being able to unlock all the stuff by simply playing the game yet now its a level progressions system that totally work against the players who hate boring grinding endlessly for meager rewards over time padded challenges. Definition-not fun at all. why couldn't you just update the old uplay, never really had issue with that set up. Now there is no reason to even have a ubi account because I play everything solo and I won't waste my time grinding for uplay coins to unlock stuff in the game.

I haven't seen an update since they launched the newest dlc yet half the collectibles are not even on the map so you can't pick them up. I soloed everything and for less than $20 it wasn't bad but the live service being forced into everything is ruining games. Any ubi game I buy will be on deep discount because thats all there worth now a days. It's why Infinity will fail, why halo infinite will fail, as a video game but sure it will succeed to sell and make money off of subscriptions and loot boxes and shallow cosmetics. Not the industry I want making video games.

Ok late player to divisions 1 and 2 and a solo player, 1 wasn't that bad outside the huge damage sponges of enemies and the terriable concept of the dark zone other than that it was enjoyable single player game for $13 and change on sale I got my monies worth. Same price for second one just finished dlc and the summit again solo and story was weaker than the first and it's clear there trying to push co-op hard core with this one and a boring repetitive end game that I have no desire for which is fine since I paid next to nothing for it would of been annoyed if I payed full price since game is pretty buggy yet like G phillips side mission never marked as completed in my log even though I did it and it popped up on my screen but it never registered in the completed side missions and thats the only one I'm missing out of 40. No work around works that I found. Several challenges in the summit like the using only the pistol for 3 floors never tracked multiple times(5) (yes I only used my pistol no gadgets not even armor kits and never swapped weapons off of pistol. This games been out for how long and these issues were brought up over a year or more ago and there still present.
There is just no quality any more. Except the few PlayStation exclusives I've played like Horizon, God of War, Ghost and some others where they did blow me away. I have not felt that way in years with xbox. Ok rant over.

@karmachaositgp Seriously how is this support? I don't care about debating what each individual likes or dislikes. How is that support? Makes no sense yet when you contact "support" all they do is tell you to use their garbage forums. Debating is not going to fix anything it's only made it worse lol

@animuslover Yet we got people trying to defend the shotty stealth mechanics in this game. Mind boggling.

@philyg213 No its not, Been gaming 30 plus years and the broken AI and poor enemy detection that is whimsical at best screws it completely up junior.

@pesto LMAO AC is not a brawler game or not suppose to be. Thats why it was great because it actually took skill now its "im hulk smash smash " Thats all there is to it. It's shallow bloated combat full of cut scenes that break the flow so much.

@philyg213 It is not possible to stay in stealth and take out everyone because stealth in valhalla is shotty garbage. Yes I've played all other AC game before and never had this problem until the newer 3 games where they felt way off.
