>We see the king of one of those Kingdoms, Aelfred, in the new trailer. Who exactly is King Aelfred?
>TN: King Aelfred is a very important character in England’s history. When the Vikings started to invade and settle England, all the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms fell, one after another. The only one that survived was Wessex, which was the kingdom ruled by Aelfred. It not only survived, but he managed to repel the Viking invasion, and even managed to rebuild modern England. He’s a very important character for us.
He doesn't sound like a bad guy from how developers potray him. >defends his homeland >everyone fails and he is left alone >still managed to win and rebuild his land
In fact, it sounds more like vikings are the bad guys here.
The parts that got invaded the most are up north where the uglies live though
Wyatt Ramirez
sure rapists are people that does not mean they deserve any kidness or are you one of the lefitst cucks who will praise muslims as he looks how they rape his daugher?
Caleb Hall
The soviets and germans raped and pillaged too and yet both of them have their massive followings.
Zachary Sullivan
This is disgusting. Modern England is the most cucked nation to exist.
Tyler Campbell
ok angl*id
Bentley Adams
Someone needs to drop about 100 nukes on top of England, jesus christ
Austin Barnes
here's how it'll go
christian = templar = bad. Obviously. the only way he'll manage to defend his kingdom will be through the apple of eden (cheating) the vikings will only leave their homeland because they live in a frigid wasteland with dwindling food supplies they'll certainly make sure to not mention all the rape
Jace Moore
They were touched by the grace of God.
Jaxon Nguyen
>Will be secret Templar >Will have actually paid other viking clans to raid, pillage and destroy nearby kingdoms >Rolls into smouldering ruins and calls dibs
You know its coming, and all talk of a "nuanced villain" will be forgotten as he reverts to mustache twirling and attempts to build a death laser on the cliffs of Dover or something by the final act.
Kevin Hall
you are right it should you everything you need to know about these people
Ayden Nguyen
the only part of the trailer that made me roll my eyes was the main character letting the women and children escape.
obviously I don't want to butcher innocents in the game... but the Vikings were known for a handful of things, and that was one of them. >but hey guys look how decent and forward thinking our medieval hero is! he even upholds 21st century Western morals! :D XD
>Mount & Blade Viking Conquest. is that game good?
Aaron Stewart
Well there has to be a reason that he's a hero. By saying all vikings raped and pillaged is just generalist. You have to make your super special OC stand out at least.
Colton Parker
Wait, you're telling me Alfred the fucking GREAT is the villain of this game?
Well did you enjoy M&B Warband? Viking Conquest expands on Warband and adds a lot more features. If you don't mind some jank and outdated graphics it's amazing imo. M&B is one of the best sandbox games out there. In Viking Conquest you can decide to join the kingdom of Danmark and secure your influence in the British isles, especially in Northymbre or side with Essex and Wessex and repel the invaders. OR you can also band with the various tribes or Ireland.
Carson Davis
I get what you're saying, especially in an advertisement sense (maybe the game is much more subtle about it).
it's not a huge deal to me either. Just sticks out a little too much. Anyways, trailer looks cool and I'll probably pick the game up.
Ryan Peterson
Look at this dude,look at how fucking cool he looks,absolutely aesthetic!
Ryan Gray
you really honestly expect a ubisoft game to be the first mainstream video game to ever feature child butchering and rape? it's like you people just WANT to get upset
*AHEM* FUCK THE VIKING UNTERMESCHEN AND FUCK THE KIKES
Adrian Collins
Anglos are the bad guys of history
Luke Wilson
Kys christcuck.
Jaxon Torres
If you're a non anglo master race sub human sure.
Jose Sullivan
The problem is that the trailer is directed as a two side propaganda so stuff like this ends up feeling really forced. If they simply showed the Great Heathen Army invading England then culminating in that duel, no one would have trouble about this.
James Bennett
I WANTED TO BE A DANE-SLAYER NOT A GODDAMN FAGGY DANE
Evan Cruz
this dude was cooler than the actual main character
Are those French cunts actually going to make ALFRED the fucking great the bad guy?
Robert Scott
>It's another the "bad guys" look far cooler than the "good guys" episode
Leo Price
The real Sutton hoo looks better.
Brandon Sanchez
Apparently he is a templar or something. However, they do seem aware that he is not going to be really a villain.
>It's in Britain, of course, you'll eventually meet King Alfred, who the trailer paints as the villain of the piece, complete with some Templar-looking artefacts in the background. But Laferrière assures me that Alf will be more of a complex character when you meet him in-game. "He is shown in that [villainous] way in the trailer but over the course of the game you'll see there's a lot more nuance to him," I'm told. The game looks set to cover the Viking campaign against him (the one which led to him being on the run, burning cakes) and his eventual success at pushing the Norse back and unifying swathes of England. "Alfred the Great is a very important historical figure we want to treat right," Laferrière says. "And to do so it's all in the subtleties and nuances you'll find."
I'm willing to bet the protagonist will help him when Guthrum takes over his castle and make him the real villain or something.
Lincoln Sullivan
yep, don't know why this keeps happening.
Adam Morris
Oh come on now, Aelfred got lucky at one battle and the Danelaw was still around for decades afterwards. Truth is that Aelfred didn't beat the Vikings, they just got bored and went home.
Angel Brooks
>BTFO of Guthrum so hard that he changes his name so that he's no longer called "Cuckthrum."
Can’t wait for the portrayal of the Battle of Samford Bridge and a scene where William the Bastard has an audience with an assmaster who tells him the uppity faggots in England beat too much ass and the Pope, who is also an assmaster for some reason this time, gives him the right to invade. Also, William the Bastard is a mulatto.
Colton Walker
Why does he look like a byzantine cataphract? Anglo-saxon armor did not look like that.
Jason Thomas
Aren't these the same people that said in the last game about something "This didn't actually happen, but it's important to maintain the idea of diversity"
Isaac Flores
>that chad pose why isn't the the player character?
Jacob Powell
>actually discussing historical accuracy in Ass Creed games Your brain will turn to mush if you try that. Think of the byzzie-ottoman portrayals or the english/french portrayals Or how Lenin was an Assassin they didn't actually drive them into the sea though, the Danelaw and its inhabitants weren't kicked out when the English retook it. Not to mention Cnut and his Empire. It was the Normans BTFOing everyone that finally did them in.
Adam Diaz
it is quintessential celtic kino and if you have any interest in the viking invasions you will play it right now
Juan Baker
>PlayStation censored the war paint on their twitter Kek
Elijah Edwards
THE FUCKING LORE, IF YOU CAN EVEN CALL IT THAT, IN THIS SERIES, IS PURE FUCKING SHIT
UBISOFT WOULD BE 10X BETTER OFF DITCHING THE FUCKING FRANCHISE AND MAKING HISTORICAL OPEN WORLD GAMES THAT AREN'T BOGGED DOWN IN ASSASSINS, AND TEMPLARS, AND ABSTERGO, AND ANCIENT ALIENS, AND WHATEVER THE FUCK ELSE THESE RETARDED FROGS HAVE IN THEIR THICK LITTLE HEADS
>anti-christian by the middle of the 10th century Norway and Denmark were largely converted to christianity
Cooper Young
Nah. The loss at Stamford bridge and Harald Hardrada's death is universally agreed as the end of the viking age as the Danes never made any serious attempts to invade England afterwards. Especially when you consider the Danes themselves were also rapidly adopting Christianity.
Matthew Lopez
elden ring maybe
Noah Jackson
I'd take reddit vikings over resetera vikings.
Ethan Ortiz
user, he did win over them and manage to convert their ruler to christianity. Afterwards they were kissing his ring for the rest of his life.
That guy looks like a fucking monster. Why can't I have a game where you play him cleansing England of the Pagan filth and securing it for the glory of Christ?
Blake Cox
Do people still play Asscreed ? shit has like a 20th installment with the same formula over and over.
Jaxon Smith
He's wearing Roman scale armour, and a mutant Sutton hoo Roman cavalry helm.
Josiah Anderson
so, like any AAA games.
Hudson Taylor
shhh
Jace Flores
>still no Assassin's Creed in the Boxer Rebellion Literally the perfect ass creed setting.
But no game does that. Why the fuck do you think popular games like Dark Souls has you playing as a tiny wimp fighting all these tall and majestic knights? Because the majority of people want to play as the underdog.
Michael Robinson
Stamford Bridge relates to the Norwegians.
What I meant was that they did not "drive the vikings into the sea". The Danish vikings who settled much of England, that is what was called the Danelaw, were not expelled upon its reconquest and some jarls remained as vassals of the English kingdom until the 1066 shitshow. It was really only with the Norman conquest and its complete overthrow of the old system that assimilation was completed. Well that and the Normans BTFOing the north so hard in the Harrying of the North it didn't recover for centuries, if ever >Harald Hardrada >Danish user... and see the rest of my post
Juan White
>chad pose >roman-inspired plumed helmet to honour the past >heroic cape flowing in the wind >giant fuck-off longsword, beats pathetic viking axe with ease >giant, towers over viking cuck >will most definitely rape the viking shieldmaidens instead of playing the moralfag
