Assassin’s Creed Valhalla More Hours Again

Talking about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla hours played again.  As I am typing his (October 12, 2021).  Have put in 40 hours and still haven’t touch much of the story.  Have spent all the time going around the first parts of the map collecting and doing the extra missions.  Thinking when I am done with that part of the map will go back to the story.  By that time will have all kinds of upgrades.  Am enjoying this game lot.  Thinking it might be my new favourite in the series.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla More Hours

Think I have about 34 hours into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla now.  Picked this up in the middle of August (2021).  Played it off and on for weeks.  Then got sucked back into No Man’s Sky for a bit with that games new updates.  When I finished that jumped back into this game.  Haven’t done much of the story.  Like most open world games I have this need to explore and get many of the collectibles.  The dilemma I am in now is I really would like to finish this game before moving to another.  However Far Cry 6 is out this week and really want to get a copy.  May be I’ll wait till Christmas to get a copy.  Will have to think more on it.

Far Cry 6 Gameplay

A the end of August (August 31, 2021) over on the Ubisoft North America YouTube channel.  They have a stream of gameplay for Far Cry 6.  The footage was pre-recorded running off an Xbox Series X.  But there were three people talking about the game live.  Am a big fan of the Far Cry series so I gave it a watch.  From what I seen it look like it has all that makes these game great while adding in lots more.  One that stood out they added gear.  This is like an RPG element.  Each piece does has a different perk.  The stream is about an hour or so.  if you want to check it you can > here.  The game is set to be out October 7, 2021.  Will be a day one buy for me.

Far Cry 3 On The PC For Free

That’s right you can get a free copy of the PC version of Far Cry 3. But you need to act fast.  This is for a limited time.  You have from now (September 7, 2021) to the 11th.  All you need to do is heard over the the Ubisoft Store.  The link is > here.  There is other catch as well, from the website,  “ You will need to install the Ubisoft Connect for PC application in order to run this content.”  So if you are into PC gaming and don’t own this awesome game.  Well worth checking out.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Have put about eleven hours into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.  Am having a blast so far.  Like most open world games I play I like to check out all the side stuff first.  All so like to see how many collectable’s I can find.  This games does that much differently than past games in the series.  On the map there are little colour dots.  Some are bigger then others.  The bigger the more important.  They have have random like encounters called world events.  Found a few of those.  Some them can be really funny.  The game is huge with lots to look at.  It is all so more of an RPG than past games.  Which is fine with me.  Getting all kinds of gear and weapon upgrades is fun as well.

Riders Republic Beta

The game Riders Republic is running a beta from August 23 to 25 (2021).  Have all ready blog about this.  However received an email taking me for signing up for it.  So thinking that I might just get a code.  If I do I hope they let you pre-download the game.  So you don’t waste hours of the beta time downloading.  Will be back with an update if I get in and if the game is any fun.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Hands On

Picked up a copy of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla today (August 15, 2021).  It was on sale and am a huge fan of the series.  Then this game came out in November (2020) I didn’t buy it then because Cyberpunk 2077 was going to be out soon after.  Ended up buying that.  In hindsight should have bought Valhalla and waited for Cyberpunk to be cheaper.  On a plus side Valhalla has had a lot of patch with bug fixes over the past six months or so.  Only played about 40 minutes so far. Am really like what I am seeing and doing.  Will be back with an update once I have more time in.

Riders Republic Beta

The new Ubisoft’s new game Riders Republic has been delayed.  They are running a beta from August 23 to 25 (2021).  While I am not super interested in this game.  But I did sign up for the beta.  Not sure if I will get a code.  But the chances are pretty good since I have gotten into past Ubisoft betas.  If you would like to sign up you can do so > here.

Tom Clancy’s XDefiant

Ubisoft is putting a new free to play FPS.  There have been many of these team bases games over the years.  This one stands out a bit because they are bring together many of the Tom Clancy game characters and worlds.  It is called Tom Clancy’s XDefiant.   Not sure when it will be out but they will be running closed beta test in August (2021).  You can sign up by going to the website.  While these types of games are not my thing.  Going to sign up anyway.

Ubisoft Forward E3 2021

The Ubisoft Forward event for E3 2021 was live streamed yesterday (June 12, 2021) I didn’t get to see it live because I was still at work.  So watched later on.  You can see > here or below.  Thinking at some point they will re-upload a cut down version.  While they did talk about some cool things.  Like showing more Far Cry 6 and bring back Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon as part of the season pass.  But was hoping for some big surprise to happen.
