OmarBradley Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Got previews of both Unity and Rogue at Pax Prime, and if I had to choose Rogue actually looked more interesting. But these were only 10 min previews of each and both looked good.Just saw the Rogue preview and trailer...... gotta say, I agree with your post.

Turn_It_Up Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Got previews of both Unity and Rogue at Pax Prime, and if I had to choose Rogue actually looked more interesting. But these were only 10 min previews of each and both looked good.Just saw the Rogue preview and trailer...... gotta say, I agree with your post.Weird thing was, the presenter who was wearing a Ubi shirt told the preview audience, before going into the content, that from what he'd seen he's leaning toward Rogue. Maybe throwing a bone to those who haven't upgraded so they feel better. But still a bit strange with everyone in the room and this being the last big show before the launches. BTW, if you ever get the chance to go to Pax, DO IT. A frickin' 4 day blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glow Inc. Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Saw the recommended requirements for the PC version of Unity...As usual, Ubi are making zero efforts regarding the pc port.Was planning on upgrading my computer for other reasons so I did it today to be ready for Unity ( got a core i7 4790k @ 4ghz and a new motherboard, already had a 780 gtx ). Let's just say it better work fine on this rig. I'm really not the kind of guy who claims that he will boycott a company for whatever reason but Ubisoft games are getting increasingly shittier releases on pc and I think I've wasted enough money on them.

Jakey Styley Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ubisoft has revealed the reason it's opposed to creating an Assassin's Creed game set in Feudal Japan is due to fears that gamers would find it too familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I'm about 2 hours in. Did sequence one, just solved some murder mystery. Definitely some cool features in this game, and a lot I haven't explored yet. I need to figure out where to buy armor/weapons, I can only find food/medicine salesmen at the moment, but I haven't explored that much. The story is good, nothing amazing yet.I hate to say it, but with this game, AC is starting to feel recycled. I don't know, I mean I'm enjoying it a lot, but it's almost stale now..... the young protagonist who is reluctant to join the Assassins but then meets a mentor who tells him of his past... and of course the protagonist's parents (although, no sign of Arno's mother) were killed.... I guess I just feel like it's not exactly living up to the hype (50+ E3 awards and nominations, etc.), but to be fair, I am only 2 hours in. Would like to hear others' opinions if you guys have played yet.EDIT: And in terms of game mechanics, I have mixed feelings. The physics is definitely improved in regards to free running, but I'm not sold on the new combat system. It's of course similar to the classic AC system, but it feels pretty different. Though I don't have the hidden blade yet, or other weapons. Might just take some getting used to.

OmarBradley Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I find myself liking the game more and more as I play. Definitely some improved upon and added features from the previous releases. Looks like I spoke too soon with my first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Looks really good on PC.Really like the setting as I love Paris. Playing it in french and for once, the french dubbing doesn't suck ass.The Abstergo, present day part is kinda stupid, but the 19th century story is ok. Arno is rather likeable, even though he is a huge stalker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arno is rather likeable, even though he is a huge stalker.Yup, looks great on PC. I'm playing in English though. And yeah, the frame story has pretty much sucked since Desmond died, not expecting it to get better any time soon; but I play these games for the historical parts anyway, and I'm sure most would agree.Arno's cool, he's no Ezio (but, no one ever will be), but he's way better than Connor. Arno doesn't have Altair's firm resolve, nor does he have Edward's serious wittiness. But I like that Arno seems to take everything as a joke (in the beginning at least), and is just brutally blunt in a way that says: "I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want, and if I get caught, I'll just figure a way out." Probably not going to have a lot of time to play today, but I am growing very fond of the game.

Mr_Oujamaflip Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm considering grabbing it at midnight for my PS4. However I've read dozens of terrible reviews that it's badly optimised and buggy across all platforms and now I'm apprehensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Oujamaflip Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 You asked for some links so here you go.Obviously not posting IGN, they've probably given it 100/100 or something.Kotaku seems to have given it some serious hate: http://kotaku.com/tag/assassins-creed-unityhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30040613http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-assassins-creed-unity-performance-analysishttps://www.yahoo.com/movies/s/review-assassins-creed-unity-takes-tumble-162144091.htmlhttp://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/assassins-creed-unity-review/1900-686/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 There are a ton of bugs. My roommate bought the game and it does look like the best AC yet if you don't consider the bugs, but I don't know how you'd do that. There are a lot of them. My favorite one was him falling through a building and getting stuck in the wall and eventually dropping down into the great video game abyss that I haven't seen since like 2003.

OmarBradley Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Wow, I just read through some of those articles, and watched a bit of the video. I haven't really noticed any bugs yet. I am running the game on High (or Very High sometimes), with a few customized settings, XFX HD 7970 Black DD. From a user standpoint, it performs pretty much fine. I'd say it looks on par with Black Flag, though I'll load AC:IV up later just to see. I haven't measured any specific performance benchmarks, though I know the game is highly intensive.I'm having fun playing it, and while I agree, the AC formula is getting a bit old, there are new things in this game that are intriguing me enough to keep playing. I'd hope the next entrant into the main series takes more of a chance like Black Flag did. Don't think Rogue will, but I'm still interested in playing that when it gets released on PC early next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Oujamaflip Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I want to play it but I just can't justify it at its current state.Every year I buy it in the hope for another Assassins Creed 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Some credit to Ubisoft: I just loaded up the Ubisoft game launcher to find a 800MB patch needed for DL for AC. I knew something would come out quickly, it always does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 I spoke to soon, the patch made performance considerably worse. Like it's not even fucking playable now. I even turned it down from Very High to High - did nothing. Now I'm pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
