This whole game is a disaster, but it's carried for now by hype and fan people.. i can't understand why this is OK and not a word from Ubisoft about what or how or anything.
Who cares atm for the planned DLC, i got the season pass.. but i honestly don't care if they don't patch a TON of things i won't even go into.. but many of us know this game is unfinished and plain bad !

And yeah the AI is a JOKE.. i made several post MONTHS ago asking to *GET THE COMBAT AI RIGHT* .. but noooooo and here we are with an AI that's even more stupid then Origins and Odyssey ever was.

If fact this game is so much worse then the previous 2 AC's.. i can't understand how they did it.. it's like it has been play tested by 12 year olds who say *whoaaa mannn this is grreeeaaattt* .

Ubisoft, yep that's good enough.. ship it !

@sinfuldantheman The world is dead, it's empty and has no soul.. compared to Origins and even Odyssey.. even the towns are static and they remind me of Skyrim boring static NPC's.

Empty lands and just not enough effort to create a immersive world has made me quit the game at 28%.. i don't regret buying the game, they can have the money for the effort and probably hard work , but it's just not good enough to keep me from feeling the 9th centure Viking vibe, whatever.
Maybe ill replay Origins or Odyssey next year (2nd and 3rd time), but Valhalla is a huge dissapointment and i don't care for it anymore.

@gravelmead
I turned off the volume in Norway, i could not take anymore of this sound.. no fine tune way to turn it off either.
I really don't understand nobody noticed how anoying the snow footstep sound is.

Am i just getting old or are people just getting weird (no disrespect, everyone has right to opinion but c'mon), what difference does it make 30 sec of blood or 5 min??.. are you gonna watch and *enjoy* some blood on a piece of dirt for 5 minutes?.. gods above this is just so strange to me.
It's maybe like *the trees are waving to fast for me* can we have a slider so that we can adjust and they don't *wave* so fast when the wind blows ??

40 hours and 26% in the game and story and i am not feeling it, the game world looks really good as we grown accustomed to but sorry to say it feels soulles and EMPTY.
I am playing Civilization V (been a while) and i'm having more fun then playing Valhalla.. was it to much hype ? from myself included.

I don't feel it, the settlement is nice but it's quiet, there is nothing going on or people in it.. the towns feel static and the countryside for example Sciropscire and Glowecestrescire (West of the settlement) are EMPTY, there are more cow and sheep then people.
It really doesn't hurt to put some sheep herders or maybe even some horse/wagon trading carts in, you have these great STONE roads and they are not being used.
Even the farms people are just standing still, did you forgot Ubisoft??.. why does AC Origins feel much more dynamic and a far better realistic world with people having stuff to do etc.

This is my main disappointment with AC VAlhalla, the greatest part of the lands are just empty.. where are the people ??? there isn't any walking on the roads, where are the traders, hunters maybe(?), soldier patrols.

Enjoyed the story but it doesn't give me the vibe like there was in Origins and even Odyssey, i am collecting Opals getting fast travel points and just running around in huge chunks of empty lands.

Settlement, Petra gimme a kiss, cling clang lets feast, and zZzZZZzZz sleep in a bed (doesn't do anything (how about a full health and 1 points of HEAL(?).
Settlement could do with trading (trading house), several towns (friendly) can be traded with.. real horse and wagon carts will walk from settlement to selected town.
Hired Jomsvikings should get injuries when downed or after fights, and require several days to heal.. so we need to switch (we can recruit a 100!).

Just some suggestions c'mon Ubisoft.. be creative !

Agree, i was 40 hours and 28% in the game and i simply quit.. this game is an abomination.

If there is no patch before end of this year with, well.. a TON of stuff that needs improvement (empty lands emty lands empty lands where are the people Ubisoft??!!) and sooo much more, i will uninstall and never buy anything Ubisoft again.

I payed so much money for a game that is just bad, unfinished and plain boring.

400 hours in Odyssey were so much worth the money i spend on store stuff and all DLC.. this game nahhh.

Maybe Ubisoft should hire GAMERS again and not career millenials who have played 50 hours of fortnite.

The world of AC (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla-you are the best in this UBISOFT) is really great and well made, but from the 25 or so hours now i can't help to see the lands are empty.
For example Origins had such a vibrant landscape/waters, fishing boats, random birds, crocodiles, hippo's, deer, leopards.. CAMEL TRADERS, PATROLS, people wandering.

England is EMPTY, farmers are standing still in the fields, abandoned houses, very RARELY i see 3 random soldiers just walking, no fisherman on the rivers, no hunters or traders in the lands, people walking the roads.
Gorgeous lands but where are the PEOPLE ?? only in towns.. and even there it can't compare with Origins.. people were actually doing something.

Sorry Ubisoft, valhalla is just more of the same.

Origins 8/10
Odyssey 7/10
Valhalla 7/10

@guest-daigm6ek Sorry bro, this is allmost funny.. but NO it doesn't matter - all versions will be the same with graphics.

I had the greatest fight in Origins on the horse - remember fighting that STRONK Phylakitai, that could END you very quick.. then the PATROLS came in and spoil your WIN - it was so much FUN.

I don't understand Valhalla with so many things missing or left out, i really don't.

There is a strange WOKE wind blowing trough the US and Canada, i mean it's okay to make a movie *cuties* with children ( !! just wrong FBI open up !! ) dancing like they do.. and some body parts in a video game is censored / left out.
And yeah we got decapitation and internal perforations in Valhalla, and thats all okay? please grow up Ubisoft and stop this childish nonsense.

Oh man i can't wait for CYBRPNK2077 and visit the *red light* district, pathetic right.. but just because we can makes it AWESOME !!

@cell1e Yep, it's dissapointment why i had some rants here, i don't mind the money i spend on the game.. they can have it.

It's just i thought UBISOFT had the standards *bar* raised much higher on what a AAA game should be.

I am playing the WItcher 3 again after 4 years (with mods- maybe a bit unfair) comparison but how is that game so insane good and it's like AC wen't from Origins/Odyssey to this.. how can this be?.

We can only wait, and i certainly will for a few weeks.. i want to continue from 28% mark where i quit the game but i just can't.

Yesterday i took a walk in (AC Origins) Krokodilopolis and Memphis.. and it's like developer sorcerery (who time travelled back 2000 years) and made these towns, they feel so real with people living their lives.
I am just in AWE how beautiful and realistic it looks, i don't get the same vibe in Valhalla towns, such a shame really.

Video settings (RTX 2060) 60% high, 20% medium, 20% low - but this isn't a graphics issue/complaint but to show how immersive and FULL OF LIFE these towns and surrounding area's are.

@Lord_WarpGuN 

No i have a very good PC, and what has this to do with anything.. bad design will still be bad design (or AI) no matter if i play a *potato*.

I have no issues with the graphics and story of the game, the rest not so much even the sound(s) are below average - like with *songs* there is a dude on the longship who has a 90's ghettoblaster on his back.. really really poor. 

It's like they press the tape and a song comes up, just one on MANY things and trust me i can list a whole lot more.

This game needs an serious upgrade, specifically in immersion and sounds (+bug fixes).. this *world* we have now is empty and sorry to say boring/empty.

This whole game is a disaster, but it's carried for now by hype and fan people.. i can't understand why this is OK and not a word from Ubisoft about what or how or anything.
Who cares atm for the planned DLC, i got the season pass.. but i honestly don't care if they don't patch a TON of things i won't even go into.. but many of us know this game is unfinished and plain bad !

And yeah the AI is a JOKE.. i made several post MONTHS ago asking to *GET THE COMBAT AI RIGHT* .. but noooooo and here we are with an AI that's even more stupid then Origins and Odyssey ever was.

The Odyssey and Origins skills were great, the level system not so much.. but Valhalla is more of the same in every branch you go.

You can't see where you are going, what skills you wan't to get to, and it's +2 melee, +2 ranged or +2 stealth damage in general in every tree.. so it doesn't matter if you go left, right, up or down it's all the same.

Would be better if you have 30 skills like we used to (melee, ranged, assassin - visible !!), with 6 (tiny) upgrades for that specific skill, where you need 6 points for a upgrade.

So let's say *bow multi shot* upgrade 1 in *increase area effect range - upgrade 2 *increase damage 15% - upgrade 3 *increase CRIT 20% - upgrade 4 *for every crit get 1 arrow back - upgrade 5 *skill recharge reduced by 20% - upgrade 6 *use ODIN thunder arrows - and so on etc.. so all upgrades cost 6 power points.

Something like this - i don't like this system we have now and at level 80 i felt i could go anywhere and kill everything in the world without to much trouble.

Anyway, i quit the game already 28% in and waiting for a huge PATCH to FIX this game.

@guest-daigm6ek Sorry bro, this is allmost funny.. but NO it doesn't matter - all versions will be the same with graphics.

It's a beautiful empty.. err open world
