I don't play Early Access games so BannerLord is not on my play list yet.OOOH, there is hope one day we will see a Last Kingdom mod for Bannerlord, because now I think I can't touch warband never again…

Wait what? We get to play a tranny? Count me in. I'm sick of hollywood plastics for years already and kinds got bored with animestyle oversized boobs.That is an ugly, ugly woman in all of the pics. Looks like a dude with makeup on.
I'm not. While I did preorder superduper Odyssey edition and the game is great, it's impossible to remove from the game scammy Helix store is the very reason I'll wait for a sale on this one.I'm in the camp that will play this before cp2077.
Based on what was presented, you're looking at TW3 clone and not any previous AC. AKA different fox.Poor AssCreed, how much skin they flay from the same fox?
AC Valhalla looks to be going in a much more combat-oriented direction, maybe even more so than Odyssey. But I may be wrong because going off a preview like this is often just plain wrong.
I am replaying AC2, AC Brotherhood, and AC Revelations, and I recently replayed AC Unity, and I am enjoying the stealth-based and non-combat-based gameplay of those games a whole lot (as I did when they were first released). AC Odyssey is one of my favorite games of all games but I also miss the stealthy-and-non-combat days of AC.

Based on game lore there is no official assassin guild yet. These prequels lead up the the Templar conflict in the first couple of games. Wonder what the new cult name will be?Yeah, that's to be expected. And it goes with the setting. Vikings are not exactly known for stealth.
Don't foreget the long drawn out kill sequences. Man I hated those. As for me I didn't really get into the franchise until Black Flag. Mainly due to pirates and naval warfare.Interesting how takes can differ. It wasn't until Syndicate (would have been Unity, but I skipped it) that I could actually do any stealth in an AC game. Before that, there was no dedicated stealth/crouch button, and all sneaking was accomplished by moving from haystack to bush to haystack in painfully constrained sequences. I hated it. I continued to sneak around in Origins and Odyssey, primarily when clearing forts and the like.
I would still never compare the AC series to an actual stealth series, like
Thief, so going to a generally more open combat approach is fine with me.
They also posted three more articles.With a few months to go, Valhalla clearly needs some more polish. I ran into a few bugs, including getting stuck in a corner and having my entire screen turn blurry after I engaged the cinematic camera, which smoothly swaps between camera angles as your horse carries you to your next destination. And just generally, it doesn't feel like a game with the wow factor I'd hope for, considering it's debuting on next-gen consoles.
Combat is responsive, but AI characters tend to move with the same old stilted animations, which stand out more and more as games become more detailed. And though the environment looks beautiful, nothing in Valhalla really blew me away—from my memory it looks comparable to The Witcher 3, which came out in 2015.
The big draw of the last two Assassin's Creeds has been exploring a particular historical setting at a fidelity we've never seen before. They both also played off mythology better than the older games in the series. I barely got to see that in Valhalla, but I know it's lying in wait in the full game. By the end of Odyssey and Origins you were hunting down and battling the likes of the Sphinx and Cyclops and Anubis. I'll accept some open-world bloat if I eventually get to throw down with Odin or tame Fenrir and ride him into battle.

Adam Jensen and invisibility augmentation says hi.So… stealth isn't stealth unless you can crouch?
A connected question - does a character's invisibility mean a game is "immersive sim"?
I'm not so sure about what most people think.When we think of stealth, most people
That would be your takeaway.
That would be what you said.
