Assassin's Creed Valhalla is 60% off at Epic which where I live is only $20 and with my $10 off coupon expiring tomorrow is very tempting. Trouble is that I don't want yet another game I'll play maybe for an hour or two and never go back to. Games like this need to have time invested in them.
Ain't life a bitch? :D

$10 for Valhalla is a pretty damn good deal though to be fair, it is considered to be the best AC game by many people. I'd say go for it. Or you can take a bus down to the southern tip of Argentina and look at the glaciers floating by, I hear its beautiful to view. I would like to go someday. How much is a bus ticket down there from Buenos Aires you think?

Maybe I'll get Valhalla. Allegedly you don't have to kill, which is cool.

Valhalla is a very good game, it's cool this days to trash talk all UBi games. Just don't give in on the temptation to do all the copy paste content Ubi loves to stuff on their games.

I have no problems with Ubisoft, having bought and played the entire Far Cry series, The Division 1&2 and the Watch Dogs series.
Anyway, I snagged Valhalla because $10 is a steal!

I didn't really liked the division, or the last watch dogs. The rest i always have fun with their games.
We all know they have a problem, no focus, too much content, stories are getting less and less captivating. But they are still good games, and especially the worlds, they build maps, worlds, like no one else, each world they make isn't just random trees or houses. I love exploring their worlds.

I had a blast with The Division which is an incredibly well made game. Anyway, I notice that Valhalla's install size has been cut from 77GB to 34GB, which is an enormous amount of trimming and it's supposed to have improved the game.

Those both, certainly but I think most of it was a new texture compression scheme

THIS looks good!
Coming next month!
i may keep it on my wishlist and wait for sales like i did with Shadow Tactics. Looks fun.

I spoke too soon. Having just downloaded about 50GB of Valhalla through Epic, I hit play only to find Ubi Connect telling me there's an update (yawn!) which is another 88GB download. Wtf?
One would have thought that whatever I downloaded from Epic would be the up to date version, but no...

Ubigames are all like that, constant gigantic updates you can't even say no to.

Remember the good old days, like 6 years ago, when games had what they needed in a few dozen GB of data? Good times..

It's not even that, with Ubisoft there aren't small updates, even if it's just some small DLC, some small bug, the update is 20, 30GB. It's insane. This keeps happening to me, with WDL, with FC6, Valhala

Yet another reason I love GOG. Updates are small, often less than 100MB. This is by design. GOG requires devs to release updates in smaller packs.
