Assassin's Creed Unity (PC/PS4/XB1)

[Ratatapa]

probably at the checkout like almost any compagnies does

Apparently taking the system offline improves the framerate of this game?

When you click the link it takes you to eBay for $50 Where do you put in the promo code?

At checkout. Before confirming the purchase, you can apply discounts, promo codes, etc.

Good news, Ubisoft released a patch.

To fix errors with purchasing Helix Credits.

It's almost like rushing out a game on a yearly basis might be a bad idea.

How long before they announce they're doing an Activision by having three whole teams dedicated to Assassin's Creed on three year dev cycles, offset from one another so there's one AC game coming out per year?

[Qalbert]

would be an improvement over this shit

[Krandor]

If nothing else a rotation of dev teams might actually lead to some gameplay variety. Outside of the naval stuff added in to 4 there's been very little variation to the gameplay in basically the entire series existence.

[Obsidian]

If nothing else they made combat significantly more difficult. No more human shields to defend against gunshots, there's no indicator that I can tell to warn you when they're actually about to fire, and pretty much any time you execute an enemy you're guaranteed to take damage because another one is swinging at you from an angle you can't see that's to the killshot camera.

They said they wanted people to be more leery of combat and not be able to decimate entire platoons of guards ad once, and they definitely succeeded on that front. Open combat is pretty much my last resort.

If anyone's interested...It Belongs in a Museums is a really easy coop mission for money right now.

[Qalbert]

my friend invited me to coop and made my game incredibly easy. "Ancient History" heist, pays 25000, and bonus of up to 45000. He told me to just stay back and not get in combat, so i got the full bonus, then we repeated a few times and now I have master/legendary gear in sequence 4. lmao.

I would love to actually be able to play multiplayer but I keep getting an error code and can't fix it :-/

Yeah some people are saying playing it offline works best.
Some are saying the pirated version is the same as running it offline. Likely something to do with their Uplay.

Found this review and am still laughing:

AC Unity is true next-gen. In fact, it is SO next-gen that it isn't even finished yet! I like to be on the cutting edge and I appreciate that Ubisoft is making games that it is still making, even weeks after you've beaten them.

I also love the forced integration with an app as well as a website. How that works is that you sign in with your uplay account to experience so many error messages that last gen could never display on screen at one time.

The game itself (no spoilers) centers around Arno, an Assasin in search of locked chests that require a cell phone game with micro transactions to open. You level him up by "hacking" into your bank account to drain real money at 60 FPS. The rest of the game runs at a solid 12 FPS which is TWICE as cinematic as a movie... No small feat! Once you've completed "playing" a website on your computer, Arno is finally ready to fall through the ground and enter a white abyss... The core challenge of the game, these moments where you simply fall into the sky that accurately existed under 1700's Paris, are some of the most nail-biting moments in any game ever made... Will the game crash? Will you have to hard reset your console? Results are random, so it will always be a surprise!

Many people just won't "get" this evolution of Assassin's Creed and should spend their time opening up a history book instead. It is there they could read up on Paris' floating people and long battle with pop-in. Even today, many Parisians only exist after you've already walked past them. It is these small details that Ubisoft has nailed and they deserve applause with tons of random audio pops just as you'd hear in the game's cinematics.

After playing this gem, I've decided to fly to Montreal tomorrow to begin playing 2018's Assassin's Creed 9. Unity's only shortcoming was that it was a little TOO finished, so I am hoping the Ubisoft guys will let me plug my controller into a broken vending machine in their studio that simply eats dollars that I put into it without delivering.

Update: Ubisoft has mentioned that they will be issuing a patch that may "fix" some of these historically accurate non-issues. For this reason, I have lowered my score to 1 star. If I wanted to play a game that was finished, I would not have purchased a Ubisoft game on day one. Boo to Ubisoft, we expect less of you.

? Havn't played for 3 days and still no patch download

[Deader2818]

Is this game really short? Seems like im moving through sections pretty quickly.

The only problems with the game I've run in to is that the app isn't working (can't do any of the brotherhood things; they're greyed out) and that it isn't syncing properly with the app.

After the training you need to sync to the towers in the game to open missions on the app

[Uzor]

No, I know. That's not the problem. I can't get past the tutorial since I have 0 assassins, and "Nomad Brotherhood" is greyed out, so I can't hire any. And since I can't get past the tutorial...
