We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Yes the haptics works in combat now but it feels like simple rumble. Still better than what we had
Yeah, better than nothing. Coming after Demon's Souls the controller felt a bit "boring" in my hand.
This is waaaay too big for what it offers. The content feels incredibly generic sometimes, collectathons everywhere. Only the mysteries are worth chasing.
Then the scenery blows me away in another moment.
Still, going to tough it out and get the story completed, but I reckon this will be my last AC for a long time.

I can identify with this feeling. For me, I kind of feel aimless and bored with the world. I was obsessed with Origins and Odyssey and loved the stories and characters, this one its hard for me to feel invested. It feels more like a checklist than a world, characters, and story that I care about. And to hear that the main story is even longer than Odyssey does not increase my motivation to keep going.
Dude the game is absolutely massive, not in a good way either. Loses engagement after about 10 hrs.
I'm hoping some new plot arcs keep me interested.
Anyone else experiencing the same? I kept my PS5 turned off so it wouldn't update automatically. If this patch makes the game worse then I'd rather not download it.
Yeah funnily enough I was ok with Odyssey which is criticised for its grinding. I got to another "shoot the cursed artifact" activity, and the world began to feel hollow fast.
Be aware that there is far from a satisfying conclusion to any of the storylines in this game, so if you're not feeling it anymore, don't feel guilty about stepping away now. The best reward you get for sticking to it are that 2 of the last 3 England zones are probably some of the best ones.
Aye, thinking I'll come back after finishing some other games first
Huh? I'm 40 hours in and almost every arc I did had a satisfying conclusion.
I wasn't talking about the individual region arcs, I meant the overarching storylines that run throughout the entire game. There's not much of a payoff for any of those couple longrunning story threads
Ah, I see. Well those little arcs are enjoyable at least.
I feel like they always do this. Well I can't remember if Odyssey did, but I remember Origins getting patched for "improved performance" a couple weeks after release, and it really screwed with the LODs
I would say there's some must-see moments if you're a fan of the series near the end of the game.
Oh there are definitely some big moments, but nothing resembling a satisfying conclusion to any of the overall story threads in the game.
Same. Feeling overpowered and no need to strategise going into battle so fights were becoming a bit repetitive. This spices things up a bit and look forward to needing to plan battles a bit more.
Finally reached Jotunheim and started the quests there. Really pretty locale and so far the quest line holds its own.
There wasn't for me, a chracter warned me a life changing battle was going to happen, but the missions won't trigger because of a glitch lol.
I knew it was not a placebo. There is a really strange texture bug going on. When i first arrived the textures looked like this
After i went into the menu and back it changed to this
Its fucked. Im pretty sure the LOD is bugged aswell.. GJ Ubi
Everytime you see a bad texture just go into the map screen and back. It will change to high ress again. What a strange and annoying bug. Looks like im taking a break until these new issues gets fixed. First CP now this. I love these AAA games :)

I used you tube to find where the battle begins, and found a few important characters standing around, just chilling, but one of the others is just standing across the map, in the middle of nowhere.
If you're referring to the community event, it's in Ravensthorpe i believe
Yeah, I know it is in Ravensthorpe but they said it would be east of your settlement and it ain't there, at least it isn't there for me
Maybe I've read the notes wrong, but I think the patch Is only putting the event into place, but it's not active from the get-go. We still need to wait for it to be activated so to speak, as the notes say to stay tuned for information; but it's now downloaded and ready with this patch.
I'm totally ready for someone to prove me wrong though, haha.
I found a way to farm silver coins and I've no regrets. Anyone know how far into the game I have to be before I can buy Inglots?
Do merchants get a renewal of iron ore/leather, too?

I've found the special melee attack where you jump up in the air and slam down (sorry, can't remember the name) works for barred doors. Not sure if you need it's 2nd version to get AoE though.
Ah, that makes more sense than what I was trying to do! Ha thanks for the tip
very fair and level headed comparison there. yep. exactly the same quality in both products. not an exageration at all.
........
Spend a lot of time in Norway before the big voyage. Try to clear a lot of that first.
Edit: my bad I meant to quote the guy u responded to smh...
I'd honestly stay clear of the side missions, personally I think they're pretty useless and I'm at nearly 80 hrs even after skipping the vast majority of side missions. The main quest pretty much breaks off into a bunch of mini quests that are plentiful and long enough. Try a few out first though to see if you get any enjoyment out of the side missions. Most ppl I know are skipping them.
Just started this game and oh man Norway map is not pretty at all. I play these games for the vistas and the snowy regions are no longer my jam.
You can move onto England fairly quickly (and come back later for the collectibles).
An issue I've really started noticing in the game is the narrative pacing. Long games like this need a consistent narrative thread to keep me interested. It's so jarring in Valahalla to reach a consequential part of the plot at the conclusion of an arc only to start a new arc that has nothing to do with the plot. It's happened a couple times now and it takes me out of the immersion.
It's a momentum killer for me

This patch seems to have made things worse for me. Graphically I don't see any difference, but AI seems buggy as fuck now. I'm in a mission with Basim and everything is insane. AI just doesn't work. I accidentally managed to finish the mission. But not the way I was supposed to.
