Assassin's Creed: Valhalla

Assassin’s creed is a very spiritual series of games that plant the seeds of rebellion and doubt against religion and religious authority. For those that are not familiar, the AC series honors the Gods as creators, teachers, and liberators of humankind. The enemy steals and uses ancient technology from the Gods to enslave humankind and engage in war.
I strongly feel that the Gods have their hands in the creation and development of this game. If you played it then, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

My take is that AC: Valhalla is intended to correct the damage that God of War 4 made (blasphemy against the Norse Gods) while also providing true insight regarding Norse culture, mythology, and tradition.

Looks hardcore but I don't trust ubisoft. They had assassins execute Templars for most of the games till now. I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings are fighting against a Templar king.

No, it won't provide any "true" insight regarding Norse culture, mythology and tradition like the precedent titles didn't about Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. It serves the purpose of providing an alternative to the other cultural replacement programme which is the tv show "The Vikings". Many people already believe that life among the Norse people was like in the Vikings, which couldn't be further from the truth. Furthermore, Assassin's Creed has also misportrayed the Templars as being of the enemy, when we know they were in fact SS and didn't act like the enemy like they do in Assassin's Creed.

I agree that the game may have some value but the portrayal of the Norse world will be at least 80% inaccurate, if not more.than that.

This looks pretty solid and positive towards the Vikings, thank you RTR :D

Guys this is a video game like everyone else. No RTR effect, they let the Templars pass through an evil sect that wants to control the world with the Fruit of Eden .... nothing Satanic. :(
 
Yes, the game does have the templars are the enemies. Modern day society will most likely interpret this as the modern-day illuminati. Furthermore, a game speaking against the illuminati and honoring the Gods would have never been successful, if launched at all. So this may have been an intentional trade-off.

As per Norse/ Viking culture.The AC series does a great job of slowly introducing players to the tradition and culture of ancient society. It's a game so it will not be 100% accurate as people want a fun game and not a history lesson.

I've played most of the series' titles and I stand by the fact that it is a great effort in awakening people and have them do research in how war and spirituality affected history.

And it is clear that we are operating on different levels of awareness.

I would say that we are operating on different levels of different types of awarenesses, and experienced people have merged all of them respectively. The majority are differing in the levels of them which is the cause of slights, and anyone with a perspective of our cause in mind should see inner differences as a slight and no more. Although we are operating on only one type of biolectricity (-quote lol) itself and that is indeed different levels, the more material facets of things dictate that different people come from different backgrounds with this aside of the universal and immaterial energies that unite the whole of us. Like an individua's aural might prefer to wear green for example. Remember the first article on https://www.kabbalahexposed.com says that the principle of difference- the number 2, is what keeps our universe and experiences interesting. the 1, and the 'same' principle will always exist in the universal form so there's really no need to fight over certain material things unless those things cross lines of race, territory, unnatural wronging and what not. Music tastes, other subcultural preferences and the colour of one's aura, with that all in mind, are not things to fight to the death over or be overtly aggressive and warring. It's a case of having self control as in void, and what being respectful implies.

New Vegas is not good. The Fallout franchise (at least starting with 3) is Yehuborim as fuck.

NV is the only game I've played that makes a believable and immersive political atmosphere. The way the different factions are set up make it feel like everything you do tips the scales towards a faction or another. I've never played a game where you can actually annihilate every faction and throw the world into anarchy and chaos. Or get into the political game yourself and make peace or war with the different minor factions and finally take on the big ones in the game's climax. It's brilliant.

The factions are also grounded and rather believable. There's valid points for each of the big factions even the legion with it's practice of slavery has valid points. It's a difficult choice to be honest.

I understand there's people that don't like new vegas, I just accept that there's people in the world who don't like FUN. That's fine. What do you play anyway nerd

Fallout 3 is trash, I never could play it for over an hour. NV has trash combat but makes up for that in world building and how the player can affect the world and it's factions.

The setting is extremely stupid and the dream of a Yehubor. Two centuries after the explosion of the bomb and nobody is rebuilding anything. All is rusty and broken.

Yeah it's a post apocalyptic scenario where humanity is basically destroyed and you have brutal tribes trying to gain power and build a new world. A world of total anarchy and chaos, it's metal as fuck.

The point of a video game is simulating something you can't or don't want to experience in real life. If playing video games with impossible and outlandish scenarios are unappealing I don't know what to tell you dude play fishing simulators or some shit I guess.

Game scenarios have to be believable, not impossible with everyone except a few people being as retarded as the Yehubor wants.
And post apocalyptic is ugly to look at, it's a stupid setting even if it wasn't the dream of the Yehubor.

Damn mb dude forgot your irrelevant opinion is actually law when it comes to making games. Your extremely objective criticism consisting of "i dont liek it" has enlightened me. I'm simply not allowed to like the game anymore I guess because some nobody on the internet said they don't like it.

Imagine making a game that is ugly by design and then someone says your game isn't good because it's ugly. I don't know what else to tell you if you can't understand the game is supposed to be ugly and dark, this is some 2+2 level shit if you can't figure that out in your head idk man.


Are you going to give any objective criticism or are you just trying to be annoying?

The point of books and movies is much the same :D We enjoy widening our knowledge on human nature through pursuits such as this. It's much easier to learn about serious questions of human philosophy (and even things about politics and science) in the wacky world of New Vegas than the bottom of a boring textbook. This is why freedom to let people do what they want with games and stuff is important as it is a tool for learning. Unless it is a blunt and obvious waste of time. A fishing simulator even if you want to get into fishing is probably a waste of time as you don't have to learn to set up a boat or anything like that for example, or the feeling of actually reeling in a fish.

It is usually quite difficult to say whether you're wasting time by viewing a certain thing but that's where intuition comes in. Certain people are better with certain things, but as a rule like Hitler stated it would be better if we had all young people do a year of military education and adopt health regimens into their life so they dont slob around watching Netflix all day. If peoples routines are healthy and adhere to spirituality- who cares what they occupy their time with. It relates to my other point on why you dont fight over the phatic stuff unless it becomes serious and concerned with direct, Cardinal and life or death things. Some people think MLP is life or death for example which is why they fight over it like a tard lol.
 
I find it quite stupid to argue over a game, it's just a matter of opinions. I won't go telling people that soccer games are disgusting and they're retards for playing it just because I don't like soccer games.
