Early review leak? If that's the case then it's a definite buy for me.
I got that from a thread on the Reddit sub we are told not to go to.
Someone asked if they would like the game if they didn't like Origins but liked Odyssey. The answer was it's the best parts of Origins and Odyssey. Although, I guess that depends a bit what you think are the best parts.
I watched a bit of an influencers videos around with their "hot take" on the game was, I guess that was a leak, as it was showing early part of the game.
There is apparently a lot more variety in quest objectives compared to Odyssey, which I take as a good sign. Odyssey sure got repetitive.
Just proof it is an AC game, since all of them did.
AccessTheAnimus @accesstheanimus Danny Wallace has just announced on the official livestream "Odin's Hootenanny" that Shaun Hastings will be back in #AssassinsCreed Valhalla!

Investigated why it took an hour to get from 75% to 100% and discovered my computer was connected to the slower (2.4 Ghz?) network instead of the 5 Ghz one. Probably why I was having issues with Among Us, too. Oops.

Who are those two again? I am not being sarcastic.
The other two members of the team in Odyssey. Alannah did a lot of the research, and Kiyoshi was security thanks to his ex-Yakuza training.
Currently playing the Yakuza series. A few things I learned - there is no ex-Yakuza and Kiyoshi must be killing it at karaoke, bowling, pool, baseball, minicars, japanese chess, mahjong, darts, videogames, disco, blackjack, table tennis and fishing.

It's good to see Hastings! I like that pompous git. He seemed dramatically affected by Desmond's death. It was a bit of quality writing that we've not seen since in the Modern Day storyline. Naturally, that meant that they decided to sideline the character for 7 years. 🙄
I like a few things I've seen of late from the game. I think the concept behind Eivor is kind of fun. My only gripes still revolve around anachronism and janky combat. I thought Origins looked janky before release, and pretty much every game and film made features tons of anachronism.
I'm sure I'll have fun exploring Ubi's latest world. I like the idea of waiting and not paying full price; and I'm still not sure whether I'll play this at release. I'm pleased to finally see elements that look really cool. I knew they'd be present, but they were hard to discern amidst all of the muddy Ledecesterschire backdrops and "XYZ like a viking" nonsense. Show us a few more of those beautiful, varied environments, Ubi.
I'm a bad person, I watched the start of the game. On one side, it looks very good so I stopped early. On the other side, now I'm really hyped ...but I have to wait.
Oh and apparently the PC optimization is shit, but I saw a video with the 5700 XT that looked fine, so I might be ok. It's not like I support 4k anyway.
you can get married, but it's a fixed quest with "choices" in it. Randomly stumbled on that information by forwarding a stream recording to avoid spoilers...Yeah me.

The engine for the AC games is usually on the heavy side, but often there are a couple of settings that can be lowered and give large improvements.
Frame consistency will mostly depend on the CPU. Anything with 6 or more real cores will be fine. If you could run Odyssey, then you would run Valhalla mostly at the same performance with 10-15% difference. Just a guess.
Well I put my feelers out since it's in the wild and streaming everywhere. Just about all the feedback I've seen has been positive, with many saying it's on par or better than Odyssey. One thing that continues to stand out to me is the dialog. Conversations just flow more naturally this time. Time to buy it I guess so I can pre-load. Skol!
Yeah as far as PC optimization goes, Anvil has never been great but it seems to be getting better since Origins. I know for a fact that game was better optimized than Syndicate.

There are what, 18 or so hours until we PLAY!!!
I'm jealous. It's over 48 hours for me I think it's playable at 11pm Monday night, but I have work the next day, so I can't stay up to play.
But I am going to leave work as soon as possible on Tuesday and hopefully get several hours of play time in
You don't have a grenade launcher, lady. Get lost.
