Assassin's Creed: Unity

On PS4 I have the most notiable slowdown and even crashed while going from roof to roof with the wide open views. At one point it didnt crash but slowed down to something like .5 frames per second.

The only drops I've seen on the ps4 are during cut scenes and transitions from those. I've had a couple of animations glitch going through a window.

Frames aren't great in normal motion but they are pretty steady.

The game isn't very good for many reasons. Stuff like that just adds fuel to the fire, it was already burning.

Co-op missions are interesting, its 2-4 players and it supports matchmaking so you can just jump into a random persons game and co-op with em. The missions are pretty lame though (tried 3 so far) just escort/assassinate/eagle combos with powerful enemies. Its also buggy as fuck with every single one having problems with virtually every part, especially escort ones where the target stops moving or decides to aggro an entire army and instantly dies.

The eagle vision is awful, everything turns into this horrible lego vision where everything becomes bright red, green, or yellow. It looks childish as fuck. I also just don't like the combat in this game, it feels "slower" and its really annoying dying to gunfire from an enemy a million miles away and you have no idea what killed you.

There is definitely a lot of depth and complexity in this game but its just buried completely under bugs, unfinished stuff, an incredibly stupid microtransaction upgrade system (which seems pointless to boot) and ideas not fleshed out. Wouldn't really recommend buying right now.

Fallen through the world twice now, had my map get locked in zoomed in so i couldn't look around, had npc's walk through walls, and the same shit with the escort missions where the npc's are borderline down's syndrome. Even then, still enjoying it, but i can see why other's don't. Defenitly a step down from Pirates

Is it true that an app is needed to open certain chests? If so, the AAA industry is doomed.

If Ubisoft is real smart, they'll blame it on #Gamergate.

What the actual fuck is going on? Saying ubisoft is the new EA from a game that got generally "good" scores and no mention of activision and their constant rehash in COD or ridiculously hollow game in destiny?

Then adding one reason for this is because they didn't have a female assassin to play as?

Comparing it to EA who has CONSTANTLY launched buggy battlefields among other bulshit.

Fuck me a company has an "ok" year compared to usually being awesome with Far cry 3 and black flag and all of a sudden they are the devil. What a load of shit.

I take it you never played AC3, you know.. The game that came out 2 years ago. Their shit has gotten progressively worse since Brotherhood; but sailing around as a pirate playing a game almost completely unrelated to the series must have erased that MO for about a year.

AC 3 receives a lot of undue hate. I can see how some wouldn't like the protagonist, but it was a refreshing change from the Italian shit. Then again, I never finished it so maybe there were egregious problems near the end of the game.

I didn't like how the present day parts were concluded, personally, for reasons I can explain in PM to save thread space~

The conclusion to Desmond's modern day story was indeed disappointing, and the sting from it is probably why I never cared about Unity. I didn't even end up playing AC4 until at least 6 months after it came out.

Be it this world or the next, youre only as good as your last mistake.

Look I get that. I agree with most points brought up. But fuck me to say they are the new EA is seriously taking the piss. Yes so far it's been a very average year for Ubisoft we still haven't seen Far cry 4 but seriously out of the big 3 in ubisoft EA and activision ubisoft is still the best. An average year compared to EA and Activisions constant stream of bullshit the last 5 years is nothing.

I'll never forgive them for killing Kristen Bell.

I actually like that Forbes article - it hits alot of the right notes. Microtransactions like that in console games with no monthly subs is pretty wild, and i also detest how companies use overly glorified PCs with never-going-to-console visuals to display the games on E3.

Sure i get they HAVE to dial down from what they wish it could be and bring it to reality but you should think about that shit before youre on stage having the masses salivating at your visuals like they did in Watch Dogs.
