Looks really good + i hope the HDR is just as good as in odyssey
You will get access to the extra stuff while your Ubisoft+ Sub is active and then when it runs out, it gets deactivated. It won't mess up your save, but I do think you'll just lose access to some stuff and no longer has access to season pass content. The rest of the game you paid for will still be there, including all your weapons and gear you've got from playing the game. Because you're a Ubisoft+ Sub your account has those extra things attached to it but they will go away when you unsub. I don't think you'll lose access to your save but that's just my guess at this point. Hope you get an answer from support.
Main difference seems to be the lighting seems more refined in XSX version which makes the game look more vibrant / less flat and vegetation less muddy.
This game is even more Witcher 3 inspired than the previous ones.
Evior meditates.
Armor and weapons can be upgraded at a blacksmith and the visual look is changed with each upgrade. For example, similar to the different animal themed witcher armor. Armor and weapons can also be further tweaked with runes that boost stats.
I also like how they seperated the abilities from the skills tree.

Mmm, i really enjoyed origins and odyssey, but a lot had to be becuase of the theme of both and the architecture, I dont know if i would njoy this as much, even if the gameplay feels the same.
I hope this is the case, but I've read it can break your save file in some instances. I assume it only happens if you load a save file while you're using something you shouldn't have access to or you're in an area you shouldn't be able to be in, but who knows.
I guess that makes sense. Don't use the Ultimate Edition weapons/gear and I'm sure you'll be fine - even dismantle/sell them so they're not in your inventory just to be safe.
Was lucky enough to receive this 3 days early. Controls are so convoluted and a real pain to change in the menu due to various conflicts. I kinda hate the tiny delay you feel when pressing a shoulder button and actually swinging my sweapon. Anyone got any recommendations for mapping attack buttons away from R1 and R2 on the PS4?
You can't dismantle or sell legendary/special gear. At least not in Odyssey.
Can we put it on a little boat, shoot fire arrows at it and give it a Viking funeral at sea?
There are no levels this time around. You have a "power level" that probably has a limit and each area has a recommended power level attached to it, so there should be no scaling at all.
Oh god, please don't tell me this is like Dragon Age Inquisition where each area had a level range but you became overpowered so fast that it trivialised most of the game.
We don't know that yet. I don't think I even know how to increase that power level. It may be through weapon upgrades or something?
There isn't on PS4 Pro. At least I can't find it in the settings.
I watched some of the Cohn stream and this game looks like fun. This is a definite purchase for my Xbox Series X.
But that makes me question how much "cosmetic" gear we really have in this game compared to the last ones?
The moment they announced "way less loot to fill up your inventory" I instantly thought "yeah right, that's just a bs excuse to have 1/3 of cosmetic gear in the game".
Do we have infos about the amount of clothing options? While many people don't give a shit, or at least pretend to not give a shit about "cosmetics". In games like this it's one of the biggest aspects and motivations for me.
Narp. Looks like it will be 30fps on current consoles. 60fps on next gen. I think all consoles will have dynamic resolution to hit the framerate targets.
Turns out there actually is less loot drops. And the "gear score" is reworked. It's way less about equipping gear to boost your score. It's called a Power Level now and it increases as you gains levels and distribute skill points.
You can still hide particular slots of armor. Though there doesn't seems to be a transmog feature like they later added in Odyssey. I don't know how cosmetics are going to work yet since the Bayek outfit is still locked for me.

Managed to stay away from too much footage. It seems the Norway area is more quiet than Odyssey, is that correct? Odyssey had wolves, bears or bandits every 20 meters, which detracted from the experience for me. Seems Valhalla is quieter and allows for more peaceful exploration, or did I just watch the wrong clips?
Yep, by looks of it Valhalla is a lot "quieter" game. A lot less hostile animals and humans around.
Yes. There are still animals roaming that will attack. But way less. It is more chill.
That's good to hear. I like it when open world games let the world breath, so to speak, rather than cramming it with stuff all around.
Thanks! That's good to hear. Can't wait to explore this.
I have one small complain that I like to register in the OT:
I really dislike how most columns in this game looks like Ancient Greece columns rather than Roman ones, particularly the types of columns that would have been built in Britain. They would most likely be monolithic or built out of bricks rather than by the stack of stone disks like it was more common in Greece. They are probably just reusing assets from Odyssey but still and I know the vast majority of players wouldn't know the difference, but still... just somethign that they missed.

Probably exactly the same with the only difference having a little bit less dynamic res.
I'll be playing on Xbox One X. Super excited as a huge fan of origins and odyssey. Also Norse mythology is my favorite
Been playing this since yesterday on my xbox one x -- runs pretty good, looks great. Same as any ubi open world game, its easy to find shots where the lighting is flat and it looks bad, but overall the game looks very good most of the time.
Kinda janky at times and feels like you can get stuck in animations awkwardly in combat, especially with the shield. liking it a lot so far though, big improvement over odyssey

- How's base PS4 performance and graphics?
- Did they actually beef up the stealth mechanics this time compared to Origins and Odyssey?
- How does the world compare to Greece and Egypt?

yeah, it's only $50 and I assume it will be $10 off in Walmart like most releases
