@INSTG8R @rtwjunkie I chose not to purchase Valhalla. Well...i actually don't have money, but i also thought that the financial effort was not worth it. Gentlemen I ask you this:
I believe Valhalla to be french bullying on the British.
All AC games mention that they "have the right" to add or exaggerate events and what we see and play should not be taken as actual historical events - however, with Valhalla, I believe they toked too far and it's bullying.
@INSTG8R you did say your home is Norway and I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. You must have studied this in school at some point. Do you feel glorified when playing this? Do you feel a sense of righteousness in dominating the British lands with your Viking army?
The way I see it we should have been given a game where you are British and trying to survive and to fend off the viking invasion. Instead, we get to play as the bad guy. Sure only the bad guy from a British point of view - I'm thinking that the Norwegians look at this very much differently?
I am not British, but i refused to play this as a crazy viking killing and taking down British villages and land.
Sure one can argue that back in those days, when the Vikings came on the shores of the sea there were no settlements and they made camp, venturing in the land miles and miles to find "Indians" - more like settlements of early Brittania's and thus considered them to be hostile so they started pillaging and plundering. But that still seems to be like they were the bad guys.
And yes I played so many hours back in the days of Age of Empires and in that game 50% of the time you were always the bad guy - the list of games can continue. It's just that this time around I feel like Ubisoft has made it specifically so to put the British in a negative light.
The reason why I invited you @rtwjunkie to the dialog is that I wanted to form a partial point of view to see how you understand the story. How do you feel the game? Are you looking through the story just as a cutscene at a time enjoying purely the gameplay and the whole upgrade/fight/finish quests? Is there truth and sense to what I'm feeling, or em I crazy? Do you feel like Ubisoft is deliberately making the British look like the ultimate evil that needs to be eradicated?
