DLC is crucial not fair to single out assassins creed when other games have done this in the past and haven’t been called out for itGame isn't even out and they want you to spend money on stuff that could've been included in base game.
Hard to escape such a thing nowadays Bo.. It's been very detrimental for the entertainment industry as a whole...I appreciate games like Assassin's Creed, Ghost of Tsushima that you learn something about history while enjoying the game. AC is the best in that regard, but now they're pouring some SJW bs into it, like many other big companies.
Ubi cooks the whole pizza , sells you 5 slices as the main game and the rest as SP or DLC.
Man you must’ve hated your hands onThe based game is too bloated to give a shit about the season pass.
They need to focus on quality over quantity
Do I need a hands on with an Assassin's Creed?Man you must’ve hated your hands on
Eh, and people think I’m a sucker for playing gachas and mobile games, but at least the predatory shit in those is all clearly labelled as “shop” and “packs”.
The actual cost of these GaaS things for a decent, lengthy experience is becoming exponentially larger.

They could have released it all as one game.I don’t really mind them announcing this. There will be a shit tonne of content in the base game.
Entirely optional if we want the dlc. Don’t really see what the fuss is.
Unless you are omniscient, yeahDo I need a hands on with an Assassin's Creed?
Okay I'll wait and see because there is a possibility it's won't be bloated like the past 2 games.....Unless you are omniscient, yeah
Perhaps he can read.Unless you are omniscient, yeah
I would pay full price on next-gen (I know, I know), but Ubisoft usually have their games at 1/3 of the price soon after launch anyway, so it's best to save your money!Buying the complete edition at sale next year
Does it even matter? I‘m not the biggest Ubisoft fan but even without this extra content there can be no doubt that what you‘ll get on release will be worth 60 bucks.Game isn't even out and they want you to spend money on stuff that could've been included in base game.

The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Season Pass contains two epic expansions, Wrath of the Druids and The Siege of Paris, as well as a bonus quest, The Legend of Beowulf!
Uncover the secrets of a mysterious ancient cult in Ireland, lay siege to the massive city of Paris in Francia, and discover the true story behind a monstrous legend. New epic adventures await you with the Gold or Ultimate Editions of Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
In addition, Free Seasonal Content will also be available for all players, including events like the Yule Festival, available late 2020, new game modes, and much more!
'Y'all' isn't a word.Y'all really complaining about them announcing expansions to the game and free content?
Fate of Atlantis was a legit 25-30 hour expansion, not content they cut from the base game.
Y'all realize they have to explain why shelling out for the Gold edition is worth it before they sell it to you, right?
Thé DLCs expansions of odyssey were really good and with enough length and difference to justify them.
way better than their other games series.

That's kinda already in the base game apparently.That's it? the last one paris? where's the mythical expansion? like atlantis and afterlife in origiin?
How to spot a crappy game 101 - it's not even released yet and the publisher already talks about post-launch "support" a.k.a. DLC, season pass, microtransactions etc.

Thats what I heard. Thats enough for me to look to likely get the season pass when I buy it next year or get a deal on the deluxe edition or something. They offer great post launch support and so long as its has great quality, I have nothing against it.
it´s kind of in the base game and obviously limited in general since the last time the decision to go that route was met with split reactions to put it mildly.
if i could wait for a discount (which comes quick nowadays), I would but my wife is an hardcore assassin’s creed fan and we love the tv show Vikings.
that plus the fact that when I buy a new console , I am in a spending fever mode.
And next month....2 next gen consoles!!!!!

This is quite the shallow comment for the reaction-points. Lack of content in the base game hasn't exactly been a problem in the AC series.
It's the best part out of those games. Good to know its already in the base version then.

i loved Odysseys part, the egyptian equivalent didn´t click as much. But still was enjoyable and i don´t have any issue with those aspects in the game. Others in the community are more critical about it (to again put it mildly) and i think to minimize the outcry it is now optional in the main game and not a standalone storyaspect.
But from what was shown (mere glimpses, thus most of it is speculation anyway) it seems that the narrative aspects changed from the mythological stuff being somewhat related to the Isu storyarc to being "just mythology". But for a proper judgement way too less was shown.
he thing is we are talking about vikings here and norse mythology like how are they not advertising with it. Just bizar.
because (not quoting exactly word by word) "they listened to feedback and are taking a more grounded approach with the mythological stuff".
After all this is the end of the "mythological trilogy" so they could´ve easily gone more out but since it´s ubisoft after all they surely will have worked through tons of player data and feedback, since they are somewhat the "politicians of gaming" - always doing what seems favorable in general taste and databased research to please, appease and convince as many people as possible to buy their games. But the people involved (and the leading studio) leave me to think it will be just fine, even without a dedicated mythology focused story dlc.
Assassin’s Creed is a mostly-historical series, but its sci-fi meta-story offers plenty of opportunity to delve into mythology, too. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla draws from an especially robust mythology, and it seems that the game will be taking full advantage of it. You’ll be able to visit realms like Asgard and Jotunheim as part of a ‘vision quest’.
“Mythology [and religion] was present in everyday life for the Norse at this time,” game director Eric Baptizat tells us in an interview. “An interesting [result] of that is the line between myth and reality is blurred – everything that happened to people was explained as being sent from the gods. So we play a lot with this, and you’ll see many elements [of life] as they correlate to Norse mythology.
“Take Valka, the seer. She is a kind of shaman, and when you build a hut for her in your settlement, she allows you to go on a vision quest in which you’ll visit some of the worlds of Norse mythology. So you can access Asgard and Jotunheim.”
Ubisoft has given us a few tantalising screenshots of those legendary locations, but it looks we’ll be waiting for the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla release date to see them in further detail.
Valhalla also dives into the English side of the era, and while it sounds like British mythology won’t be quite as prevalent, there’ll still be a few details. “There are a lot of myths to play with, such as Black Shuck, the terrifying giant dog or wolf [that stalks East Anglia and may have been influenced by Viking myths of Odin’s black hound]. So we use a lot of stories like this to create events and, again, to play with the blurry line between myth and reality, so you can expect to encounter all those stories.”
Baptizat also told us about how you can use the promise of alcohol to your advantage in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s social stealth system. Expect our full interview to go live soon.
What part of his post is saying the game lacks content? He said this could be in the game since the game isn't even out yet.
