The Fucking MAN.
Ok, before you accuse me of click-baiting you, the video is about this:
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is a pretty dang good game.Is it Black Flag good? Not at all. But it's a good title, for sure.
Granted, I'm playing it on LUNA as part of the $15.00/month Ubi channel. If I had paid $70.00, I'd be feeling a bit diff, I'm sure.
But still: good, solid entry to the series.
Yay AC:V team!
But I just don't understand how Gamers (and reviewers, cause this damn thing sits at a 80-86% metacritic, depending on system) are down with the way this title tells its story, mainly the opening.
And AC:V isn't the only one that does this; it's just the most recent. In the last 5ish years it seems Gamers have just accepted (embraced?) long non interactive cut scenes, slow walk and talk sections, and an overall degradation in pacing.
But look, man: I'm 49 years old! Maybe this is what the kids like (lord knows these sorts of titles sell boat loads!) and perhaps I should just accept that the games that make up the modern AAA space are simply not for me/someone my age (who came up- as a Player and a designer- with gameplay first mentality).
