Yeah, she looks 10 years younger, and 10 days without sleep. She looks like she has become a regular client of Walter White. There are challenges in the game that let you "eat mushrooms". I don't know if you've played all the games, but there is thing called the Bleeding Effect. Where prolonged access to the animus and your realities sort of combine. "The Bleeding Effect refers to a disorder wherein the genetic memories of one's ancestors begin to blend with the sufferer's own, real-time memories, often leading to difficulties in distinguishing between the two. In severe cases, this eventually resulted in mental breakdown." assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Bleeding_Effect

"we will introduce you to all the characters, buildings, customizazion and activities!" I am not watching that. Definitely something I want to discover as I play for the first time.

I want to discover as I play for the first time. I guess the point of pre-launch marketing is to entice potential customers to reach a purchase decision. As they pretty much had me at 'hello', I've not been paying that much attention for some months so that the game will be nice and fresh.

As they pretty much had me at 'hello', I've not been paying that much attention for some months so that the game will be nice and fresh. I'm weird in that even if its a book/movie/ tv show that I am pretty much in love with and am pretty much guranteed to consume in one fashion or another even right around 'launc time' I will still try and get my hands on as much media and trailers as I possibly can about a...game in this case. I mean especially in the case of a game because even if you are fairly sure you want to get it it still behooves me to try and get an incling into how it plays and even what some of the options are in terms of characters or romance. Though I did have a few quesion marks with Vahalla and wasn't 100% on board with it until recently (and even then there is a couple of things that makes me think that it might not be better then Odyssey...and a couple of things that I think could be better then Odyssey) Like even when DA 4 starts doing its marketing I will be watching every second I can get my hands on, then probably rewatching it, then probably watching the anyalysis and reaction vids, and then probably reading the sleuthing from us here on the BSN, and then probably offering my own two cents.

Meanwhile I’m still waiting on answers for the stuff I want to know. I also hope they talk about the contents of the season pass this week.

Agreed have stopped watching, I want it to be fresh and new when I play and have already seen too much. Wonder why they are showing so much content, I don't remember this for Origins or Odyssey?

I am pretty much the opposite TBH. If it is a game i know I am going to buy I don't want to be spoiled too much. If it is a game I am unsure about like BG I am watching and reading heaps as I am concerned about whether the game will annoy the crap out of with it's combat (I am very impatient) for example.

I normally don't care over much about spoilers and I don't find the marketing of many video games to be that spoilery...or I guess I am more lenient on them because I know that is the price of my curiosity. There have been a few surprises in the Vahalla marketing but I don't think they have done any big story revelations. As far as why the more marketing blitz...? Can't say for certain obviously but Odyssey some elements recieved some flack for its DLC, Breakpoint recived a lot of flack...for a lot of things (and I think that was Ubisoft's last big release) and there has been a LOT of controversy surrounding Vahalla's production so Ubi is probably like 'well despite all this the game is still good right guys? *chuckles nervously*'

New or returning players? Maybe, I have enjoyed what I have seen but still worried about the combat and stealth. I just really don't want to see anymore the countryside etc. I want it to be a revelation in the game.

I mean I think this marketing strategy seems to speak more to the old players given the return of things like social stealth. I mean of course you have had the usual 'yes you can still play Vahalla if you have never played AC' stuff but really the marketing seems to be saying 'don't worry guys its an AC game this time just has RPG stuff' and 'don't worry guys despite the internal issues its still good'. (Of course the latter could just be me projecting)

Meanwhile I’m still waiting on answers for the stuff I want to know. I also hope they talk about the contents of the season pass this week. Wild guess - year and a half worth of droplets of content with two big DLCs, each cut down to three chapters. The first DLC will conclude Eivor's story and fate. The second DLC will conclude Layla's arc. Probably the second DLC will have more Isu lore and modern day gameplay.

Well, it won't have cliffhangers at the end of each episode, longer dlc. Video games are not necessarily designed for you to return weekly like episodic content wants you to.

Fuck episodic expansions. I hope they're gone. They sure are picking the very best from the time period. The seige of Paris? Sign me the hell up. That has combat and parkour written all over it.
