I thought I'd mention Assassin's Creed Valhalla is free to play until the end of the weekend.
It's supposed to be pretty good, and I got a lot of play in on Origins when they had the free weekend, and never felt the need to buy it. So get your free play in!
I'll be dl it shortly.

I'm somewhat regretting trying it. 9 hours to download.
Every talking scene takes 5+ seconds to load, the game itself takes
a good 5 minutes to get into and loading a save about 2-3.
It's also completely froze on me where I had to kill the task a couple times.
At least I know not to buy it now.
I could try to troubleshoot and maybe fix those issues, but it's not
really worth it for an AC game.

That's crazy. I assume you have a fast PC and connection.

My CPU is pretty old, so if it's a poorly optimized console port, it might account for that. I'm not upgrading the CPU for a game I'm marginally interested in. I don't think the CPU should effect load times, and theI could try to troubleshoot and maybe fix those issues, but it's not really worth it for an AC game.That's crazy.

2 freezes were a complete lockup which I don't think would come from
the CPU either.

Well, guess what. CPU is pegged at 100% It's odd because others areMy CPU is pretty old, so if it's a poorly optimized console port, it might account for that.

reporting it does a better job on their CPU than origins did, yet that one ran fine for me. I did some optimizations for CPU I found for settings,
it's still pegged at 100%, but it seems slightly better and hasn't frozen on me, except for a few 1-2 second ones when I was on a horse or boat
where the scenery was changing quickly.
