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

[Deader2818]

Im hearing the game is a hot mess across all platforms

[Krandor]

The frame rate drops are just to make it more cinematic.

Welp, I was going to buy this game today but I guess I'll wait...

[Daydreamer]

If it helps apparently rogue is awesome.

30,000 people in a crowd. My first reaction is to be impressed, but I think I'll wait to see how that actually plays out.

God damn Ubisoft rewarding my cynicism.

Also on sale for half off right now apparently. The guy at EB Games told me it was only $30 when I went to pick up MCC/Unity, so I said why not, I'll play it later.

So does the hair look bad to anyone else or is it just me? For some reason when they focus in it looks terrrrrrrrible. Like ps2/early ps3 quality.

Hair is more than fine. It is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

[Hank]

So, can anyone who has the game confirm there are microtransactions for speeding up the process of unlocking things?

saw this get tweeted earlier

idk the exact context but assuming it's as straightforward as it sounds that's pretty shitty

That pic is from the kotaku review which goes into details about the microbullshit. Yes, there are time-saving boosts to buy with real money.

The site with the 3 dirty letters also made a blog entry about it. Be sure to get the iOS/Android app and subscribe to AC Initiates or you won't be able to open certain chests.

This. I picked up both yesterday but started with Rogue to close out the Kenway storyline. Very fun game so far and once again get to enjoy the feeling of being an almost pirate.

To which app are you referring? A quick glance at the Play store didn't reveal anything obviously related to Unity.

[notorious bum]

I don't even want to pirate this game anymore. I'd say that is a success, good jorb Ubi.

^ I think I'll just play Rogue.

Also from Kotaku's review

This wouldn't be so aggravating if there weren't other treasure chests that could only be opened if you have been using the game's iOS and Android companion app.

Game is plagued with constant upsells to spend IRL money.

[Prothescar]

I can review it in like, 2 sentences.


well, Assassin's Creed Unity is complete shit. Rogue is pretty good though. If you actually buy these things I recommend the latter, steer well clear of Unity though. It isn't even worth playing if you're an AC fan (if you manage to get through at all with the technical issues abound).

[Obsidian]

Haven't had any issues so far on Xbox One, game looks pretty good too.

[Greedouw]

I'm more interested in the time anomalies than the actual game itself
