Other.s may see it differently but Ubi are just a 7/10 company for me. I haven't played Valhalla yet, although I do own it but impressions I've seen from folks I know playing it is that it is anything but boring. Watchdogs definitely had some issues out the box especially on last gen consoles, but those have been fixed for the most part and I recently beat the main campaign. The game is great. They just needed to iron out the COVID bugs. Looking at my gaming collection, I buy a LOT of Ubi games apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDunks4 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Valhalla is easily a GotY contender for me, and this has been a pretty solid year of games. It is very very good. I bought Immortals, but probably won't start it up until after I get through a few other games first. I typically stick to 1 Single player game at a time, and with Valhalla, then Cyberpunk, then who knows what, I probably won't get to Immortals until early next year.

skillzdadirecta Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Right now my top two games this year have been Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima with Doom Eternal a third. I haven't played Valhalla yet and I'm curious to see where Cyberpunk stacks up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Beat it! That is the quickest I’ve played 40 hours in a game in awhile, well Animal Crossing, but that doesn’t count. Actually a perfect length, solid ending, and just a joy to play all the way through. Biggest thing I’d like to see addressed in a sequel is enemy variety, felt very similar to my one complaint with God of War here. It’s not terrible but it can get a little repetitive towards the end in that regard. Similarly, Id like to see more active powers. Like not more you use at once, keep it the same, but a large variety you swap around to make your build. That would add another layer to it I think. But for the most part they blended together a lot of really fun game mechanics in a rather seamless way and the game is so beautiful a lot of the time it just makes you stop and enjoy the view. It’s also just generally enjoyable playing this type of game as a more light hearted romp (though it can get dark!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the good parts of AC and BOTW mixed with some fun mechanics stolen from other games, you’ll love it. It probably is still gorgeous on the og X just because of the art style, but of course it’s hard not to recommend to wait a few months to play it in all its glory on current gen.

Wouldn't go quite that far but yeah they go toe-to-toe and I say that as a massive massive Zelda fan. This is my GOTY, I've got 60 hours into it nearing platinum trophy, cant wait for the DLC so I have an excuse to play it more. I've had infinitely more fun with this than ghost of tsushima which was good but forgettable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Nice to hear you all are enjoying it! As always with Ubisoft stuff, I'll wait until there's a budget priced combo with the season pass included. But if BoTW2 isn't 2021, I might pick it up sooner rather than later.

Keyser_Soze Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I was watching someone play this game and they got a game breaking bug after 15 hours. Some mission failed to load assets and even resetting the game didn't fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 picked it up today. Pretty solid so far, tough I must say one of the puzzles in one of the temples I visited (or whatever they are called) was damn tedious. Not hard...just tedious.

EternallDarkness Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 now about 7-8 hours in. It's not bad and yet it feels a bit generic. I've also come across a few more tedious dungeons. One this is for sure though, there is plenty to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 30 at Best Buy now as well....thank you price matching!! Totally zoned out while playing this yesterday. Must have played like 6 hours straight. The more powers yo get the more enjoyable the game becomes. I must admit I cheat on the damn harp quests. I find the little lyres but who the hell plays with the pen and paper on hand? And I sure as heck am not going to memorize the order so after I find them I just hit the but harp and use the internet to get the cord order.

If you want to play it do it now. Or maybe wait and see if it comes to game pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 immortals has a switch version. Pretty sure the next gen updates are minimal. Play it now. $30 is a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
