Yong is a flimsy next-door gamer sometimes invited to previews because he has a following. He's sometimes useful for gathering and regurgitating early sources, but that's all the reference I'd use him for.

"On the Xbox Series X, Valhalla runs with a 4K resolution (it seems dynamic, as at times there was some notorious reduction in definition) and at 60 frames per second, something that has never been possible before on consoles. And what a difference it makes. Playing Assassin's Creed at 60 frames per second is fantastic, as it smooths cinematics and gameplay, but there's a price to pay."

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Review
This Viking saga is probably Ubisoft's best work in years.

The education system has failed you.
Was you mistaking 360 rotation with 120?

It's only based on the official reviews. They are always overrated. Users score will be lower.

Odyssey has currently 83 points. Played it and even got plat trophy. Definitely not higher than 75.

Review from Gamereactor. Seems to be dynamic 4K on XSX, but we'll wait for more confirmation.
Dynamic 4k is the answer, for both consoles. Why waste resources with full native 4k for a handful of pixels most will not notice?
What Is interesting is that the game has pop in and screen tearing, something Dirt 5 also exhibited.

Yes, I see the trend here. Let’s take history most fearsome warriors, Roman legionaries, Spanish Conquistadors, Mongolian archers, Cristian Crusaders and convert them to multicultural sissy lesbo girls. This madness has to stop.
Imagine them Vikings seeing this. LOL.

OK, Ubisoft. Good reviews. I'll buy your bloody game.

The Series X page on metacritc have a higher score than the others.

Build your own Viking Legend. Become Eivor, a Viking raider raised to be a fearless warrior, and lead your clan from icy desolation in Norway to a new home amid the lush farmlands of ninth-century England. Find your settlement and conquer this hostile land by any means to earn a place in...

Exactly. People who still have good eye sight can buy PCs, and then people who confuse a smeared vaseline screen with "basically 4K" can continue on consoles. Seems fine to me, everyone gets an option.

I see Polygon is up to its gender-focused shenanigans again.

Maybe the perfomance boost is not bad after all. At least for making the score up to 4 points.

So I was listening to the Big Think Dimension this morning and KZXCellent played the game and did post edit with his thoughts about it. Already time stamped.
It is buugy as hell. Also 14 crashes.

all these benchmarks are useless, they are not the release game but preview builds they are always shitty.

I can't see it well on mobile but I think that is 1.02 which is the day one patch. Which is normal. Most of the time the people testing the day one patches are the reviewers lol

Wow somewhat polarizing... so many high scores with some low ones i didn't expect. Reminds me of Gears 5 scores haha. One of the reviewers really gave it a 6.5/10 complaining it has more epic battles and less stealth compared to past entries in the series? Seriously?

What do you mean whats going on?. Its a good solid game getting good solid reviews. Who cares if its as good as Ghosts or not.

There is a mindset at times that somehow a game that gets a particular score HOLDS that score like an Olympian and no one else can get that same score. Its odd but I do see it a good deal

To give you an idea of how prevalent it is. I have had people go back for years and look at old games and then demand changes to scores because HOW did Gears also get a Buy with Ghost of Tsushima. I mean LONG diatribes about games not being able to be in the same result

Like I said in a previous thread:
I understand why the entertainment industry as a whole fictionalize the Medieval Aesthetic (from "Dark Ages" to the depiction of Norsemen), but a more grounded approach would still make great games (and TV series, movies, etc)
I like the For Honor looking big balls warrior stuff happening here, but I do agree and usually go for somewhat minimalist aesthetics for my own characters if possible.

Anyone know how cross saving is going to work? I have the ultimate edition on PC and I am wondering if I can cheap out and get the ps4 version for upgrade to ps5 and keep all my pc goodies.
Normally this is a no no, but I don’t see how my save progress can go across platforms without my digital upgrade content (armor, perks, progress on quests not available in the base game, etc).

If possible, it's how i'll build Eivor
He will likely stand out in cutscenes however, seeing as every Viking looks like a Icelandic Bodybuilder/tattoo artist lol

You should play a couple of hours on XB1 (I assume you have XB1), then you will probably be more blown away when you play it on XSX.

Thread Update - November 9th, 10:30 AM 2020 - Sorry for the delay I had to stay up until 6 AM to post/publish our own and send out emails to Ubisoft and monitor this thread so I barely got any sleep. I slept for 2-3 hours after making this thread.

No you don't.Seems like I need to get used to the lack of stealth
You can fuck up a lot of enemy camps by yourself, calling your bros is optional, you can probably play solo stealth for a large part of the game.

I already didn't like the floaty ice skating weightless combat in Odyssey and to here it's worse hear makes this a deep sale for me.

From what I've seen, that unicorn skin has gained it a boost by the hypocrite critics.
