Worth It?

To me it felt shallow. It was pretty, but I ultimately didnt find the campaign very exciting. Which was a huge bummer. Not having religion was dumb too IMO. And I agree about it being dumbed down, Im afraid the next game will follow suit.

I was looking for it on sale over Thanksgiving but they never did. No religion? Really? That was a huge driving force. I would have gotten it just for the subject but think I will just keep moving. I have been really looking forward to the next one on Chinese history but I dont trust them anymore so will pass on that one as well. I feel like they are missing the point. Thanks for the response.

Or was it an acknowledgement of the reality of the time? Norse Pagans who settled in Christian areas were Christianized in at most 2 generations. So religious conflict is going to be almost a non issue. The viking period of the early middle ages was not the era of religiously fueled wars and civil conflicts (and TW games are VERY bad at modeling civil conflicts). Plus the removal of agents makes the religious game a non starter anyway.

OT: This game always came off to me as an experiment. An experiment
I was willing to participate in. Still am if they produce more content.

Hmm, is on sale. Are the battles good? Could get it just for the battles.

Same with Attila. They are not atrocious, but the same bugs persist. Ships will cruise aimlessly in the sea and their marines will often jump to their death.

Maybe they played elevator music onboard. Or they decreed no more cookies. Or maybe they outlawed the wearing of fuzzy slippers. Or maybe the company has not prioritised that quality control edge that produces a super game. has it become so difficult to make a good game? I know its tough co-ordinating due dates and getting it done and polished without having to delay it. And maybe their sales justify what theyre doing. They are strong enough to accept that tradeoff. I ended up buying Assassin's Creed Odyssey thanks to my lil brothers reccomendation. It is a gorgeous game visually. I havent had alot of time to play but so far its very well made. I do hold an interest tho in the Pagan Norsemen crashing into the Isles.

The issue is that there is no need to change a successful formula. The quality has declined, but pre-order culture continues to run amok, while the sales are increasing. Unless the consumers get organised and learn to defend their interests, I wouldn't expect any dramatic amelioration. Glad you liked AC. I guess they improved a bit, after the disaster of the French Revolution.

To be honest, I am tempted to replay the campaign that I have not finished with Wales. At least for some fun and games to see how the core gameplay develops in the final part of the game. Might be different overall.

Plus, new updates!
