Torn between this and Godfall for the weekend. I liked Odyssey a lot but I like me some looter games too.

What in the actual fuck is going on with the audio?

edit: lol apparently THIS is just how the audio is for the game. Get the fuck out of my face with this shit....they made choice easy for me. Refunded...I'll gladly try again if/when they fix it.

I never actually beat Odyssey, but I think I was close. No DLC either.

Do I need to understand what happened in Odyssey to understand the real world stuff in Valhalla? I’ve only come out of the animus once, but I didn’t understand any of their references to something crazy she did or something.

Nope once you leave Norway you can catch up on everything from origins and odyssey on the laptop. I never paid attention to origins but odyssey I kinda did and now after seeing it in Valhalla I kind of caught on.

There was some hostage lockdown thing at Ubisoft Montreal. Didn't realize my link didn't grab the other headline.
Call was fake apparently. Either a swatting or one of their blue-hairs encountered a fellow employee who criticized socialism or said something like there are only two genders and that felt like being held hostage.

What audio problems?

The game sounds like refried ass. Everything sounds like its in another room...turning on the increased NPC dialog audio option (when has that ever been an option?) caused an echo to the main character. It's weird as fuck and I have zero audio problems in any other game. I searched before bitching and this is a very common complaint with the game.

Encountered my first but, the was a glitch on an anomaly where i couldn’t use the beams at some point. Tried it 3 times and it always glitches so wasn’t able to complete it.

What is everyone having the sound issue on? Consoles? Sounds fine on PC.
The issues I had with the sound and popping on PC were due to Bluetooth. It was mentioned by others but the fix was just shutting it off and using a cable.

Chersk besides the audio issues, your post made me realize the vastness of the disparity between a good, solid game and true excellence.. AC Valhalla is a good game but compared to either of the MIddle Earth games it isn't even on the field of play. I guess that the difference between putting 2 games out as opposed to what 8?

PS5 has what 825gb total but only like 600 something is usable right?

If you liked Odyssey I would imagine you will like this one. There are some differences which have been discussed in this thread but its solid for sure.


Yep, it's like 600 usable. Pretty terrible. I moved over some PS4 games but only a fraction of what I have, and already having to delete things to make room for like, a 10th game.

That is inconceivable to me, why would they make such a concession. I mean games keep getting bigger and yet they give a smaller hard drive? Hopefully it is just like that for the first iteration.

Try it again without moving into the beams. Worked for me.

About to sail to England and almost collected everything in Norway, the Elk owned me though so will try later.

Is it a waste to upgrade the Raven Armor you start with? Guess hanging on to ingots until later is a safer bet?

I like the game a lot, but the combat is a bit wonky at times. I have never played AC on the PC before, only PS3/PS4 but I like the PC gameplay much better.

Not sure what’s going on, played for an hour or two yesterday on PS5 and the controls seem janky. Slow to respond and floaty. Combat timing seems off.

It could be just me but I didn’t have issues with Odyssey.

I’ve completed two story arcs in England and just barely started upgrading—just weapons though, no armor. I was waiting to find better items to upgrade but then hit a boss I was having a tough time with. I upgraded and wrecked him. Guess I was past the upgrade due date.

you get a bunch of carbon ingots, so you can upgrade everything up from the trash tier to the next level. i'm at like, 103-ish, and i've only found 5 of the next upgrade metal.
