I think the number one thing I didn't like about Valhalla from a gameplay standpoint was the removal of a real RPG-like progression system. I liked how in Odyssey you started out as some random hired muscle thug, then evolved into a teleporting exploding wall of death, to eventually turning full SSJ with a double lightsaber and spirit bulls. I liked all the unique armor sets and how you could put together a distinctive build with a few insanely overpowered legendaries. Teleporting assassin who never gets hit, 2H warrior who sets the entire battlefield on fire, multishot hunter who can fire off 30 arrows while still in stealth, all that dumb poo poo was fun and led to me putting a ton of extra time into trying out new specs. They took all that out in Valhalla but didn't really make the combat any deeper mechanically, so you're just doing the same sword attack animation over and over, level 0-400. Armor sets are rare and expensive to upgrade, so there's no incentive to try anything new. They took out all the crazy weapon/armor affixes and just replaced them with runes that are like, "increase critical strike chance after you parry." Big whoop.

I only switched/tried out different builds a few times over a hundred hour playthrough cause maintaining gear in odyssey was pretty expensive. but what was there was good. sucks that acv is a big step back.

Yes. In fact, it's incredibly annoying to coop the main story since the implementation for that sucks rear end.

absolutely. you can solo 100% of the game barring maybe one or two end game fights (which might have been updated to allow easier solo play on those too).

When it came out on pc it had some connectivity issues (maybe it still does) and would drop you from their servers relatively frequently, so if you were doing multiplayer when it did you’d be stuck fighting a scaled-for-multi monster as a solo player

this stuff has been pretty much fixed. connection issues aren't as prevalent as they were (i never had any issue with them personally - it largely depends on steam's server stability) and now the monster will scale down to solo mode if you get disconnected.

There's an image floating around of all the studios they bled but it's like 5 years and probably a dozen studios out of date. But I mean a short list Origin Systems, Westwood, Bullfrog, Visceral, Pandemic, they're just a black hole of talent and loving suck.

In the case of Origin it was justified, those in charge were attempting to rip off EA Games and continually failed to meet contract obligations. Chris Roberts (who would later almost be turned into law enforcement for attempting to scam Microsoft during the development of Freelancer), and Richard Garriot were the big offenders, and take a guess at what both are doing today?

it is actually the children's first step towards gambling depending on which game you're playing. The one that KCB works at is pretty nasty with it because they make a lot of money off of pets and so you buy eggs with robux that have a chance of hatching into various different animals and then you can upgrade those animals to rarer neon versions by getting more of them and combining them together and we both agree that it is super gross but she doesn't have any control over the game, she just answers the emails from the parents who are mad that their kids fell for confidence tricks, hacks, and scams. A big problem they're dealing with right now is that other people can make their own roblox game servers and list them as being the "official" game server and accept roblox money from players and then nothing can be done. The actual game devs don't get any of that money, the kid who spent the money doesn't get their item, the parents can't convince the devs to give free items to everybody who keeps falling for the fake scam games, the creators of the fake scam games get their money, and the main roblox people just shrug it off as something that they aren't too invested in stopping right now since anybody buying robux is giving money to roblox.

There was one specific Pokemon game in Roblox I remember a bunch of kids had spent actual real life dollars on in the form of micro-transactions for said game and then it shut down. I hope those kids got some sort of refund if they were breaking the bank on the thing.
