Anyone here manage to use the 20% discount code on checkout?

does it apply for PS4 CD pre-order?

I checked the ubistore earlier and it only shows PC platform.

I'm not really a wise consumer in the sense I don't hunt down discounts, but players in AUS already received their pre order PS4 copies few days ago and there's tons of streamers begun their gameplay stream already.

Really trying to avoid the Valhalla subreddit now preventing spoilers, god damn this has gotta be the longest 3 days for me ... not to mention my gameshop lobang says he might be getting a weeks delay for the CD because reasons. I might just go ahead and purchase my first digital game from the PS store. (well not really the first, gotten SIMS4 on sales during MCO).

Seems no one mentioned this in here yet.

In other words, if you want to play this game in full glory uncensored version, please do avoid the Asian version. Buy the US or europe version instead.

Too late for that now, committed to the gold edition.

No ragrets

Mean R1 and R2 right? I played abit this morning, can confirm decapitated enemies got their helmet stuck. Still satisfying though.

Of course, it's up to each person's preference. But for me, I would rather buy the complete version instead of cripple version. I compared the 2 different version on youtube. The experience is totally different. The uncensored version is more oomph.


Here's the comparison. See for yourself.



Uncensored






Censored




You may feel ok when you play the censored version. But once you play the uncensored version, you sure won't be able to go back. From the videos, I can tell that the uncensored verison feel much better and satisfied in term of slashing/decapitating/killing people. The blood and brutal action.

Try to imagine. Let say Ghost of Tsushima is censored, and there's no blood spill out when you slash and kill. Would you think that you would still enjoy the game like you are now? Absolutely not!


Don't ge me wrong. I am not telling anyone what to buy. Just IMO, it's not worth to pay full price for a censored game. If you must buy the Asia version (our local vesion), then better wait for discount in future (Ubisoft game always get discount very soon anyway). Or better, buy from other regions such as US.

Censored Uncensored? This is PS version or PC version?

Any discounts for PC version?

Censored version only applied to PS4/PS5 Asia version (including the one we buy in our local PSN store). PC version should be safe. I can't confirm though since I am not a PC gamer.

Any physical store will bring in R1 or R2 copies ? Most of them are only selling for R3 versions here .

Got the ultimate pack last night , thrown in a couple of hours .

- The " berserker pack " may also be bought separately from Ubisoft store .

- More writings , even more dialogues . Expect your random blacksmith NPC telling you about his honey moon or divorce stories .

- In general , not much have changed since AC : Odyssey . Several things have seen improvement , direct combat remains sluggish at times . Nothing is as satisfying as piercing your enemies 's throat with hidden blade .

- The addition of settlement is surprisingly well implemented . Offering a variety of customization , some of the cool things are locked behind MTX .

- PS4 pro seems to play the game on dynamic resolution 1440p , holding a pretty stable 30fps .

- HDR is well implemented like previous AC games . You are given the options to adjust peak brightness and exposure point according to your display .

- Censorship doesn't bother me that much . Yea sure I would go for the uncastrated edition if I was given the choice .

But if you are buying the digital edition you don't exactly get to choose unless you are willing to overpay . Considering the fact Ubisoft has given the Asian Psn store quite a discount on both the Gold and Ultimate Edition ( RM 289 & RM 339 vs 100 USD & 120 USD). Enemies still bleed when they die . I would be furious if they remove the blood effects but I don't mind seeing a few less boobies in a game .

- Massive improvement on the environmental effect , for example your char leaves very realistic trailing and footstep on snow and also interact with the foliage , adds to the immersion .

- Still not a fan to the stupid ( to say the least ) meta plot , enough of the Animus crap .

- Female Eivor's resemblance to Charlize Theron , a positive I supposed If you are a fan of her .

Perhaps buy online? I am sure there are some sellers on shopee selling R1 and R2 copies. Better act fast if you want to. Right now I think not many in malaysia know about this. But I can't say the same for next week.

Contemplating between buying Gold edition or Ultimate edition.

Is the Berserker set worth it?

Anyone bought physical disc gold edition? I found out no any slip of code season pass inside it. Just the disc itself only. Does that mean the season pass inside the disc? Kinda impossible right.

You might wanna check back with the shop. Season Pass code should have its own slip.

So i've been playing a bit now. I have to say the story so far is very interesting, in line with what I kinda expected of a vikings story (that of netflix Last Kingdom and Vikings). plus narrative choices!

Though I can't help but notice the game seems a lot more buggy (compared to the previous games like odyssey or origins).

there's bugs in the combat, travelling, talking to npcs, side activities etc.

Made it to Lunden yesterday after my 3 day Valhalla marathon, I won't say explicitly that I've been rushing the game but I did focus on the main story quest up till then.

There's lots of valuable side quest like the kid back at Ravensthorpe in your long house that gives you the ability to summon your own wolf, which to my surprise unlike the other abilities obtainable via looting the ability book.

I've been playing on normal difficulty (much like the previous 2 titles) and I'd say comparing them all 3, Valhalla proves to be the more challenging one. Parrying seems to be of greater importance now if you want to stun your enemies and since we can't infinite dodge anymore without draining away your stamina bar; the combat to me seems to be more fluid & cinematic-like when you manage to land those perfect parries and perfectly execute back dodges backstabbing your enemies and que head decapitation animation.

needless to say the absence of blood splattering and virtual tiddies is disappointing, honestly the blood splats everywhere is what matters ... hopefully there'll be an option on the settings to on/off blood animation in future patches (maybe tiddies too). Ohh and Asgard not being a DLC ... say whuuuut.

Not kissing up to Ubisoft but the AC franchise as a whole has come a long way ...

They already have the blood ON/OFF option [which doesn't seem to do anything since they are being hard-filtered out by the patch] , what I don't get is why don't they just stick to the option instead of having to succumb to CERO .

If anything they could just leave the default option to " OFF " and let people play the game the way they wanted to .

We don't even get a nudity ON/OFF option AFAIK .

say what now, is that with or without the effects being splat all over the floor and surrounding when we hack & slash the enemies?

because there's always been blood but without the splats being all over ... much like what the video comparison shown by a forummer posted above.

Apparently animals can bleed over the flood , just not human .



And no I don't see a single drop of blood from decapitation as well but they didn't filter the cutscenes .

bruhh ... not the cats ...

I'll have to give it a look see once I'm back tonight, because last I checked it was on default and there's been no puddle of blood anywhere ...

the only cutscene which grinds my gear is during the decapitation of Eivor's father during the beginning of the game, dude got his head slashed off and kicked by the villain but in the same cutscene the head is intact with his body ...

for crying out loud censorship
