No unfortunately and I tried pasting the URL directly into the address field and it still came up the same????? Strange. Maybe try a search in YT to see if someone else reposted it? Will try that today, thanks

AccessTheAnimus @accesstheanimus@ngongaming has shared the PC Specs for #AssassinsCreed Valhalla! Looks like I'll be just playing on "High" which is OK, maybe like ACOD I can slip in a few Ultra's on textures.

Watched the technical's vid and the deep dive but didn't read the article. I think I am done to now and will wait for the game without watching anymore or reading anymore.

AccessTheAnimus @accesstheanimus@ngongaming has shared the PC Specs for #AssassinsCreed Valhalla! Looks like I'll be just playing on "High" which is OK, maybe like ACOD I can slip in a few Ultra's on textures. Textures depend almost entirely on your VRAM, of which you have plenty, so Ultra all the way. If the game is like Origins and Odyssey, then lowering Fog and Clouds to Medium will give you up to 30% FPS boost with little to no visual downgrade. Lowering AA and AO down a notch from Ultra is also no visual difference, but gives a few extra FPS. Rest of the settings should easily be Ultra for you.

Definitely not a fan of Eivor. We’re stuck with someone who makes light of torture and murder of a civilian. I think I'm going to enjoy Eivor. Up there with Kassandra, Evie and Edward Kenway for me.

As much as I am hyped for this game it does make me nervous..as in having to make sure I say the requisite number of hail mary's...every time I hear them saying they are raiding a 'monestary'. I do wonder which game will make me feel more morally...compromised?...this or Odyssey? Anyways though from the demo gameplay I have seen the combat now looks solid. Those finishers are looking absolutely brutal and everything with the combat is what is hyping me. The Social Stuff is obviously something I never have experienced myself since Odyssey was my first game but i am familiar with it from my time at peaking at the series every now and then up to the point of Odyssey so...I look forward to trying it out? The roleplaying is pretty much the same as Odyssey which while isn't a surprise is maybe a tad disappointing...just a tad though. On one of the videos I watching the guy doing the mentioning said that Eivor was going to have a personality which was good 'because Alexios and Kass didn't have one'...I was not aware of this being a problem or general criticism with the game for Ubisoft to address. While the RP may be a bit weak both of the two versions of the Mistios had personality in buckets.

For months, this game looked like rubbish to me. That's a big reason why I've stayed silent in this thread. I was excited for the setting, but the gameplay and character aesthetics looked terrible. The newest pre-launch hands-on vids from all across YouTube are helping me feel more optimistic. The character aesthetics are still terrible. The clothing is rubbish. The weapons are giant and ridiculous. Woodsmen axes and 15C swords seem to be the order of the day. I know it doesn't bother most people, but seeing weapons from the high medieval/Renaissance period in 9C Britain is ridiculous. It would be like seeing Ezio riding a Ducati instead of a horse. That's the timeline we are looking at for these anachronisms. Again, a sword is a sword for many. For those in the know, this is really obnoxious. The combat still looks heavy, clunky and janky to me. It looks improved since earlier builds, but not great. The whole "stomp" thing is facepalm-bad. Sigh. Anyway, the good: Quest structure looks cool. I'm sure the open world will be fun to explore. There will be funny quests, forts and castles to raid, and all the other stuff I enjoy in these games. I like that I can mess with Eivor's hair and beard. If they introduce the transmog feature from Odyssey, I will likely find an outfit that doesn't annoy the piss out of me. In the end, I'm reasonably confident that the good will outweigh the bad or annoying. This would've been the first AC I didn't play at launch. I've only disliked Syndicate in the whole series, and I'm hoping this will be at least as good as the last two games. I'll probably go ahead and get it, even though I could likely save money by waiting for Cyber Monday/Black Friday. EDIT: colfoley, did you feel weird trying to kill the Pope? 😆 That villain had it coming, as far as I was concerned. The only time AC made me feel icky was when I played as Jack the Ripper. 🤢 Terrible DLC for a disappointing game. I never revisited that DLC upon completion, and couldn't bother with more than two PTs of Syndicate as a whole.

Yeah it looked bad for months, whether the combat gameplay, the animations, or the character design. Thanksfully, they have really improved these things recently, the male pc looks good. Though female Eivor still looks meh to me, even if a bit better I find it weird that they still haven't showed a few seconds the process of customizing the protagonist, must be very limited.. Not sold yet though.

Pope what Pope? There were no popes in Ancient Greece. *said in an Alexios like voice* (Remember Odyssey was my first AC game). In one of the AC games your character in a white bathrobe has a boxing match (I am serious) with the Pope in the ruins of the ancient apex Isu civilization under the Sistine chapel. It's literally the one thing I bring up when some AC fans start to bitch and whine how the older entries are historically accurate.

It still managed to be a great moment for me. 😄 I miss the old games that focused on the Brotherhood vs the Order story. With these role-playing elements, I'm still waiting for a game that allows me to choose my side (and gives me Templars worth joining, like the Colonial Rite).

I loved the colonial Templars. Haytham and Shay are two of my Top 5 protagonists still. They were also the only part of Black Flag I liked, preferring them more than the Assassins. That was the only time they actually had nuance between the sides, and since then (with a few exceptions like Elise or Starrick) all Templars were Saturday morning cartoon villains since I guess Ubisoft didn’t like people wanting the Templars to win instead of the Assassins. But yeah, hopefully this game reclaims that nuance and in the future we can actually choose which side to support.

She has personality plus++++++ Alexios was for me was not quite as strong in the personality stakes but he still had a good deal of personality, really find it hard to understand why they'd say that.

The Social Stuff is obviously something I never have experienced myself since Odyssey was my first game but i am familiar with it from my time at peaking at the series every now and then up to the point of Odyssey so...I look forward to trying it out? The roleplaying is pretty much the same as Odyssey which while isn't a surprise is maybe a tad disappointing...just a tad though. On one of the videos I watching the guy doing the mentioning said that Eivor was going to have a personality which was good 'because Alexios and Kass didn't have one'...I was not aware of this being a problem or general criticism with the game for Ubisoft to address. While the RP may be a bit weak both of the two versions of the Mistios had personality in buckets. Kassandra has no personality what Malaka said that FFS. She has personality plus++++++ Alexios was for me was not quite as strong in the personality stakes but he still had a good deal of personality, really find it hard to understand why they'd say that. This Malaka. So... About some other commentary on the trailers and what has been going on. About the 'bigness' of the weapons...I mean everything in this world just seems *bigger* then normal so far to me. Maybe its with the whole Viking thing, artistic telling, or engine stuff but we have also seen a picture of Eivor cuddling a rather ginormous cat (yes I know some house cats can get big but this seems excessive even for that) so the weapon size seems to be no big deal, sometimes its better to think of video games...even those set on Earth...as still being Earth alternates. The combat still seems a little clunky yes and ultimately the verdict is still out on whether it will be *better* then Odyssey's (but then again right now that game is my gold standard in combat design) but the finishers so far look amazing and is one of the things that is hyping me for this game right now. But on the other hand, so far, if it does look like one thing which it will do better then Odyssey's is whatever else it may be more *realistic*...at least in terms of abilities. So far I have not even seen anything that looks remotely like the Ghost Arrows of Artemis or Rush Assassination in the game, everything seems within the realm of human possibility...even if it would be stretching it...rather then full on super natural. The character customization is whatever. After experience with Breakpoint, Wildlands, and Odyssey I just was not expecting a fully blown CC. I can just hope that whatever else while I am not a fan of Inquisition's CC that BioWare does not scale it down THIS much. A couple of other things I have noticed: 1. It seems like Eivor can wear their hood in conversations, this is...a neat win for me really but always something I have a bit of a...fluid...opinion on...so I do wonder what circumstances they can or can't. While the RP still looks rather weak the mentioning of them making Flyting add more dialogue options does make me raise my eye brows and makes me wonder what form that will take. Also really excited about how this game will construct its story and quests. The demo said 'Ledechire arc started.'

I really would like more authenticity to weapons and armor as well, but that ship sailed three games ago with Origins. They could even do it as they implement the fantasy elements, or offer a line of realistic weapons and armor, going as far to point out the distinction in the codex. It could be paired with the history tour mode in a way. But I doubt it'll happen at this point and I've more or less come to accept the exaggerated aspects of the series. It's a fantasy IP now.
As to the combat, it looks rougher than Odyssey but improved from the last videos they showed. And I love the visceral quality it has.

None of this tells me who I can kiss. I don't like the looks of the combat. I prefer stealthing/assassinating/bow combat. If I can stick with mostly that, then it's fine. If I have to do a lot of big ass swords/axes or use shields...no thanks. Though I will admit I did like the look of using a flail on some dudes I'm really curious how both Eivor are cannon or how the let the animus choose who you are is supposed to work? I was leaning towards male Eivor (I know, I know. Female name. Whatevs! ) But I may reconsider if I can get past the female voice annoying me. Even though I feel like I'm complaining, I am excited to get to play it next month!
