I’ll go back to it once they fix that final cultist mission. Claim they’ve found a fix for it but no details on a patch.

Still waiting on them to fix some achievements
Yes! It is the best one of the new games imo. Even beats a lot of the old ones.

I'm in awe of the Breathtaking vistas and sceneries at any given moment man. Ubi created a Beautiful world no doubt.

I just couldn't get into this. Tried 4 hours before uninstalling. Such a rough start plot, glitch and structure wise. Loved Odyssey as well

I was close to completing the U.K., took a break due to burnout. Was at about 110 hours or so. For me, that's a damn miracle amount of playtime for a title. Still, I do think it looks great, and when it works, is really fun to play. Too much content, though I appreciate the value for the money. I also think the game looks really good. I'll go back to finish it. Too close not to.

Reminds me of Ghost of Tushima in sheer beauty.

ahah. We took almost the same picture at the same spotAsgard is a breath of fresh air.
Mine is from XsX (60fps mode), and if you zoom in the throne details, you can see more of the obvious differences vs your PC shot. Still, the XsX version is damn nice on a big screen with HDR, and SDR pictures don't do it justice.
This game is really a looker and has great vistas. I spend too much time in the (really not great) photomode, which is stupid because I think the the game is definitively too long for no reason.

Ubisoft employees probably the best environmental artist in the business. Now, if they would hire some good writers and gameplay devs they maybe on to something. I tried to give Odyssey a chance but wholly fck is that game boring. However, Immortals is probably the most polished, fun game i have played in years.

Fucks sake lol. Every time I see new posts for this it because I think the new patch is out that will let me finish the game. 
Too much content is kind of a problem with the game, but mostly with the player.
For some stupid reason I feel compelled to do a lot of the side stuff and I ended up doing many activities that I really disliked. I didn't have to do them, they're not necessary for the most part, but if people put that shit into their games, I'm going to do it all.
I figure that's on me.
Overall, great game though.

I stopped trying to do the standing stones, they annoyed me immensely.

I sort of felt that way. Not entirely. When I was close to a spot on the map with an activity I felt mostly compelled to explore it. Not entirely though. As the time went on, I felt more and more compelled to just finish the damn game already. It directly competed with my FOMO about what cool thing would I have missed, or, oh, I might as well do x item on the map if it’s near kind of feeling.
I took a break from playing .. and now have to force myself to go back and finish it before I won’t be able to.
Yeah you can.
I have burned out on origins and odyssey so for Valhalla my solution is to rotate my backlog instead of playing long sessions..I think taking breaks works better for this game, since it's so repetitive and long. Do a few arcs, play another game, come back and do few more arcs, etc.
Tshushima and cyberpunk are making Valahalla much more bearable.

Speaking of which, any word on the DLC schedule? I'm probably going to pick up the season pass, but will wait for impressions on the first piece of DLC.

The first DLC should release sometime this spring
Awesome. I'm super eager to get back into the game. Definitely one of my favorites from last year.

As much as I enjoyed this game, I pretty much have NO desire to go back and replay it.

Looking forward to playing this but like all Assassin's Creed games these days I wait until all the dlc is out(and I want to play on PS5,which I don't have yet).I just got done watching Vikings TV show and I also love The Last Kingdom so this game is gonna be great I think.I see they have the seige of Paris as a dlc.....that was my favorite episode in Vikings,good stuff!
Got this game for free with the mobo for my new PC. Built my PC in mid-December and totally forgot I had the game until about 4 weeks ago.
Been playing it since then and I've gotten hooked on it in the past 2 weeks or so.
It's the best AC game for me since Unity, and it can look bloody gorgeous at times.
It's still has the number one issue I have with newer AC games which is the sheer, almost overwhelming amount of content, but this time I don't mind it so much since I actually care about and enjoy the story.

I just played this game for 190 hours to get the plat according to ps5 stats. Now there are some idle.times in there as I happen to just leave the console on instead of resting it. 2 story trophies didn't carry from PS4 and won't pop. They are story ones and missable. FML. Also I got the best weapon in the game as the last thing to do. Pointless Second piss me off moment.
But overall, not bad a game. Fuck chasing paper and balancing rocks.

The base game is so large that it's probably best to take a break for a couple of months before starting the DLC just to cleanse the palate. I tried to do that with AC:Odyssey, but I only finished the first Atlantis DLC and never bothered with the other expansions, because I'd already been playing the game for more than 130 hours.

Ha,ha....I get what you mean....I actually did manage Assassin's Creed Odyssey and all the dlc's in one go(184hrs),lol...I do have a high tolerence for Assassin's Creed though,it's kind of my gaming guilty pleasure....I'll get through Valhalla no probs.

I've been playing this game for a few hours and I'm thinking about giving up already after only a few hours... could someone who's played the whole thing give me some guidance? I know sometimes these games can take several hours to get into.
Assassin's Creed games are always hit or miss for me. Some of them I absolutely love while some just don't click and I get really bored. What bothers me about Valhalla is that so far I have almost always had one or more companions as company on my missions. I love solitude and playing alone - infiltrating forts/castles/camps etc with stealth.
So far, it's mostly been raids and bigger battles or missions where I go around with a companion as company. I liked Odyssey quite a lot (even if I think the story and dialogue was extremely cringy and amateurishly written) - does this game shake the formula up entirely compared to that game?
Will there be lots and lots of sneaking/infiltration/solitude later or mostly raids and larger battles?
(I have a lot more to nitpick, but these are the kind of deal-breakers right now...)

The game does have those, and you also have the option of doing raids solo. Some arcs you get a companion running around with you, while some you go alone. You do have the option of when going to a new zone, complete all the forts/etc, and then start the story component. But to be honest, there is a good mix of both team stuff and solo stuff.
Coming from Origin and Odyssey, I wasn't feeling Valhalla at the start. It takes a few hours to understand how this one works as it's a little different. Getting to England and then starting the alliances opens up options more.
