Although frankly, Ubisoft has nothing to worry about, as the masses are stupefied consumerzombies with short memories so they'll just keep buying the same shit over and over again. Consumers never learn, and that's why The Stupid can keep spreading.

This is using the Unity engine

You are confused

I thought it was using Unity engine due to the name but this makes it more damning since its their own fucking engine that already was used in 3 Ass games.

Meanwhile, the forgotten Assassin's Creed Rogue is actually getting some positive reception, with the user score being in the green.

Its prob less buggy for sure. I played through Black Flag with 0 crashes, slowdowns and bugs. And Rogue is Black Flag 1.2.
I cant even play Unity cause upon loading the save I'm trapped in a scripted event where the game crashes at the end of the event.

I haven't played any AC games except the first one and holy shit did the "parkour" get fucking ridiculous now.

Yup, now it's literally just "press Space to awesome".

What if Ubi and EA collaborated and Bioware developed the next Ass Creed?

 

[Trash]

Well, installed it to enjoy the lulz and came away mostly bored. It runs like shit, even on lowest settings. Mind you, I got to cranck Black Flag up to ultra without a hitch. Dunno what went wrong here. Not too many crashes and wierd bugs though. Which is mildly disappointing after all the hilarious gifs. Otherwise seems a typical AC. Did enjoy how the most interesting story they can create around the French revolution revolves around the inner politics of the assassins. Way to go and waste an awesome setting, Ubi.

Love the 1:40 moment. It's amazing how Ubisoft is using the same updated engine over and over again and still they managed to release a game in this state. Was it even tested ?

 

[Drakron]

Fuck, now Drakron ruined the joke I was going to make. And he didn't even make it a joke.

Fuck.

First your joke sucked anyway.
Second, I dont have to make a joke when this game IS a joke.

 

[Gerrard]

I think they should go make Spiderman games instead.

If it was using Unity, I bet it wouldn't get even 5fps on the consoles and would look worse than the previous games.

It's being tested by a million paying beta testers right now.

Some of them are so angry that they are almost tempted to cancel their Far Cry 4 pre-orders.

Black Fag was also very slow on release. I couldn't even play it on medium settings properly but after a few patches it ran smoothly with everything maxed out.

Remember, you can't create new saves, start a new game, and if your save breaks, you're doomed.

You forgot to mention the romeo and juliet love story, as arno girl is a templar.

Yup, there wasn't anything reported that was really bad. Although there was the occasional funny glitch:

Love the "almost"

Farcry 4 is like what AC Rogue is, a pretty big expansion pack. So I wouldnt expect a clusterfuck like Unity, but no way in hell Im preordering it after this buggy POS release.

And Darth Slaughter , I'll wait for the patch, if it doesnt fix it I'll pretend as I've never made the purchase in the first place, atleast for a while.

 

[Astral Rag]

Retardedly high system requirements are often a good way to predict the coming of bad ports, FC4's requirements seem pretty down to earth so that could be a good sign. Not that I expect a good FPS from Ubi but that's another story.

I find it amusing that ACU which looks (not to mention plays...) almost identical (more dumb peds, slightly higher res, some "next-gen" fx) to the gazillion other AC game that came before it now struggles to run at 30fps on computers equipped with the fastest hardware on the planet.

I copy pasted this from Total Biscuit's Youtube About page, this computer is not fast enough to run Ubi's latest console popamole in 1080p@60fps:

CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-2800
BOARD: ASUS Rampage V Extreme
COOLER: Swiftech H320 55.0 CFM Liquid
GPU: 2x Nvidia Geforce GTX 980
SSDs: 3x Sandisk Extreme Pro 480gb
HDDs: WD Cavier Black, 4TB
OS: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.

That's a $500 CPU and 2 $600 GPUs..
