Is he riding a bear?

Yes, it's the new mount you get later on with the DLC.

Been tempted to use my reward points and buy the season pass for Valhalla, but I'm also tempted to just save my points and use them for melty blood instead.

IGN says "New and interesting activities are in short supply while content that is functionally identical to the rest of the main game flows like wine." So, more of the same basically, fairly disappointing.

One complain so far, i see no god related stuff in it, was hoping for some form of content so u gotta return to one of the god worlds with some new stuff in it.

Thanks Google translate! And you!
I dropped AC:V about 50 hours in after a save bug, I looked up the ending though. How does this connect to the post-end happenings? Is it made like a side story from the middle of the base game? Or can you play on your post-end save without things getting weird?

I wish they would give Odyssey a 60fps update on XSX instead, loved the game and still haven't played through all DLC. Don't want to go back to 30fps though.

It's a side arc, but it's recommended that you be at least level 250-300. All is mentioned in the review. It has no relation to the main game whatsoever. I recommend you play the Druids DLC first. That's the good one and has better quality content than the base game imo.

Stop watching, gonna dive in tomorrow!

I thought the druid dlc was absolute garbage

 

[Ceadeus]

It looks good and it's difficult choosing between Valhalla and odyssey. I prefer the colorful world of odyssey but prefer the immersion of Valhalla.

 

[Mossybrew]

I thought the druid dlc was absolute garbage

I wouldn't say garbage level but it sure wasn't great. Thoroughly mediocre.

 

[Pey.]

Well, if you guys thought the druids DLC was bad, this one is way, way worse.

how so?

 

[Kamina]

how so?

You are better off making up you own opinion and not listening to new members' rant.

 

[Pey.]

how so?

Simply put, the main narrative is just bland and uninteresting and the secondary content/quests are unoriginal and repetitive. You can read my review if you want more details.

Ubisoft's a ball licker
I've been diabolical
With this dialogue since 99 Rawkus
You don't respect the legacy I leave behind y'all can...

Whoa, sorry about that. I was so mad at Ubisoft I channeled my inner Eminem.

But seriously, I'm not buying Ubisoft products while they're partnering with Epic Games Sh*t and making exclusivity agreements with PC storefronts.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: The Siege of Paris DLC reviewed by Jarrett Green on PlayStation 5. Narration by Max Scoville. Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, PC, and Stadia.

Even with the satisfying creative freedom of its Infiltrations and the brisk bite that scythes add to combat, The Siege of Paris doesn't feel like an essential addition to Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Its story provides a truly memorable menace in King Charles, but otherwise doesn't stand out much from what we've already seen, substituting Breton soldiers with Frankish ones. Valhalla of course remains fun on its own merits, but the base adventure already has Mjolonir's weight in nearly identical content.

 

[ReBurn]

I think I want to jump into this game. Just have to choose between PS5 and XSX. Good problem to have I guess.
