Assassin's Creed Unity Thread

Very annoying to hear about bugs/tech hiccups in the game aswell. I'm waiting to get this at Christmas so hopefully there'll be a patch to address those issues.

This is why I'm glad the likes of Rocksteady are willing to delay a game to give it more dev time.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

All the complaining and blaming of the X1 for the 900p. They couldn't get the game to run on either system properly. And apparently is worse on the PS4. The game can't even hold 30fps. A true embarrassment.

 

[Marvolo]

Yeah, Ubi should have released Rogue this year so they could maintain their yearly release cycle. And released Unity next year. It seems clear that Unity wasnt ready. It seems to have issues that post-release patches alone probably cant fix.

Oh and AC Rogue's soundtrack is now on Spotify.

I'm sad Seems like they fumbled what could have and should have been the best AC setting ever. I'm also very, very sad that I sold my ps3 specifically to get a ps4 in time for Unity...

Does anyone know if Rogue will ever come to next-gen? I'd be super disappointed, as a huge AC fan, if I couldn't play it (it sounds like they nailed it).

 

[Havok83]

that's disappointing. Looks like I will skip AC this year and pick it up sometime next year when its below $20.

 

[Marvolo]

I think Im just gonna wait for BF and get both. Far Cry 4 comes out next Tuesday so the wait wont be too bad.

Please, God, dont let Far Cry 4 be buggy or awful!

Oh and I do NOT like this **** here:

While Arno’s 15-hour story arc is one that can only be experienced alone, there are a ton of side missions in Unity that encourage, require, and reward drop-in cooperative gameplay. Two-player Heists demand constant communication, with a single misstep usually resulting in a chaotic mess of steel, bullets, and failure. Playing with a buddy was always entertaining, despite the fact that most missions boiled down to us trying to be stealthy, getting spotted, and then proceeding to just murder every living thing within the city limits. Practice might eventually make perfect.

I hate a game forcing me to do anything co-op. None of my friends have a PS4, and are unlikely to have one anytime soon so those side missions are off limits if they cant be done alone. Dont make missions ridiculously hard and unforgiving just to force co-op on the player.

Just started this. It's gorgeous. Also love the new free running mechanics. Love jumping over obstacles and sliding under tables so seamlessly. Epic as hell so far.

What do you think of Arno? I've heard some call him the French Ezio, while others call him the worst protagonist yet.

french website says it's really fun, with a huge and great city to explore, but the story is kinda meh, and the present day stuff is useless.

they gave it a 17/20 though.

They're just saying that because it's set in France.

I would be amazed if Rogue doesn't. If they can port Black Flag without a problem, Rogue should be easy.

 

[X Knight]

well, just picked this up with Target's B2G1 free deal.

so, I'm going to give it a chance. but it's going on the backburner till Xmas with DAI and WWE 2K15 coming out next week.

 

[Marvolo]

Do the french grade all things out of 20? Not that its wrong or anything. These little differences between cultures fascinate me.

Add me on PSN, djkiddvicious and when I pick it up we can play together

On the PS4? Because I have it right in front of me and I am wondering if I should open it.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Eh, it's only 60 dollars.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Eh, it's only 60 dollars.

Actually, it only cost me $32 brand new. Not even joking.

I have Gamer's Club Unlocked at Best Buy, and they price matched with the Target 3 for 2 deal. Each game ended up costing $40 bucks using the ad, and then they took the 20% off for the membership. So I got Unity, The Master Chief Collection and Batman 3 for under 100 bucks. Plus I got $20 bucks in credit, which I will be using towards Christmas shopping.

Today was a good day.

 

[Marvolo]

This game has problems...like every other assassins creed game. Most of the complaints Ive heard about Unity Ive experienced in the other games. So if $32 wont hurt your budget open it up and give it a go. People seem to be enjoying it even with the bugs.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I might need to look into this GCU thing.

MY concerns are what I have heard about it working better on the X1. I pre-ordered the PS4 version thinking it had to be superior, but I guess not. But I decided to just keep my PS4 copy. After playing Black Flag with the PS4 control, that is what I am comfortable with.

So right now I am installing Halo on my X1 and Black Flag on my PS4. So if you get the game Marvolo and looking for someone to play with, send me a PM.

wait......Best Buy will match the Target B2G1 free deal??

AND they let you use your GCU discount??

I thought they don't price match deals like that and that they don't give you the GCU discount on price matches.........

 

[X Knight]

I might need to look into this GCU thing.

right now, I think they're running a special where you can get the 2 year GCU membership for $30 if you buy it with a game that cost $40 or more.

otherwise, it's $120 for 2 years.

I have it because it came free with my original X1 purchase ( that I returned ). they let me keep the GCU membership. so, I'm making use of it.......lol.

 

[Storm22]

Has the patch addressed any of the bugs? I'm actually not sure if I'm going to bother getting this game now. Watchdogs was a disappointment and now this...

Let me know if you suffer some ugly frame rate crashes such as the one in this video:

http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/11/12/assassins-creed-unity-low-framerate-gameplay-clip

I didn't realize that was happening to the PS4 version. It seems to be happening to a lot of players on the PS4. Whether it's happening repeatedly idk. Hopefully it can be patched quickly. And I'm really curious to know exactly how and why this game seems to be running worse on a more powerful system. I want a no BS gaming journalist or blogger to grill Ubi over this.

And for those who are curious, IGN tells which features were removed and which ones were added to Unity.

They're just saying that because it's set in France.

I've read all their AC reviews, and I don't think that's the case.

Do the french grade all things out of 20? Not that its wrong or anything. These little differences between cultures fascinate me.

Some french reviewers grade out of 20, others out of 10.

 

[Marvolo]

In addition to not being able to pick up weapons from fallen enemies, players are no longer allowed to move and dispose of dead or unconscious bodies. This means that players will have to focus their efforts on making kills while out-of-sight of other enemy patrols.

That seems like a silly thing to remove from the game, and a cheap lazy way of making the game more difficult.
