They've improved on things as well, for instance sailing has more weapons and the control scheme is a little different, but I'd say it's better. They added new weapons, so along with sleep and berserk darts, you get a grenade launcher as well. It is, as said, basically AC4-2 with different characters/setting. I've got like 13-14 hours logged and all I can say about it is it's really fun. Also performance shouldn't be an issue if they are putting on PC. We just have to hope it's a good port.

I can't believe how many people come out of the woodwork to either shill for Ubi or (more likely) make themselves feel better about buying one of the most broken games made in who knows how long. Somewhere in some dark basement, Evolution Studios is timidly cheering that Ubi came along to take some of the heat off of them for Driveclub.

the game is playable in that you play it and it sucks worse than any other ac game for just the game mechanic reasons alone, without even talking about performance, but yes 'playable' for sure

Lunethex has done all the tech support for Ubisoft in this thread, if your console is having problems, well it's expected because they're consoles and not super powerful. If you're having problems on the PC, well, it's your computer and fault, the program works fine.

If you're having problems on the PC, well, it's your computer and fault, the program works fine. I enjoy the argument of "well, consoles have framerate dips" as is frequently 20FPS (or less) is to be expected even on consoles. I'm not particularly FPS-snob when it comes to games like this. I don't mind minor dips and I only really demand 60 FPS on games where it really really matters (which AC doesn't.) I mean obviously I'd prefer it was 60 but whatever, a solid 30FPS isn't gonna kill me. This is the worst framerate I've seen in a game in ages and the only once I've played this year where it honestly makes me a little motion sick to play it.

So far I haven't noticed anything on my end glitch wise besides some NPCs being a bit weird (like in the mission where you try to give that letter to your step dad the crowd NPCs sometimes decided to stand on barrels). I did have to turn the graphics to poo poo mode though, or else it was stuttery as hell. My computer could run AC4 on default settings just fine. It does seem like the gameplay is less fun than AC4 and certainly lacks the charm of Kenway and being a pirate. I don't like Arno already. (For reference I can also run Shadow of Mordor with fairly pretty graphics and no lag).

Look, when you purchase software the most you should expect out of it is that it runs and sometimes won't crash. Any expectations beyond that and you're being a whiny entitled bitch looking to disparage corporations who probably have our best interests in mind.

rizuhbull posted:Funny then that every other modern game I play works fine. I know futureproofing is impossible, but come the gently caress on, ubi. There are nicer looking games that run smoother. You'll probably be fine with a 7950 for quite a while, though the 2 gigs may start to limit you soonish. This game isn't optimized at all, and AMD is always going to be behind on drivers for games that "run best on Nvidia", which while it isn't their fault really is one of the reasons that led me to buy a 970.

PC version chiming in. I guess I'm in the minority because mine runs perfectly. This is my first AC game so I have no frame of reference but so far I am having lots of fun. I'm really enjoying the stealth mechanics. I'm wondering if anyone knows if you need to be up to a certain point in the single player game before you can play co-op, as we're looking to do this tonight. One buddy is still not at the point where you get the hidden blade and official assassin clothes, which is where I would assume the actual game starts.

Watch_dogs freaking ran better at launch with higher settings than this game does lol. And for all the people who say this is running great, it would be nice if you would say how far along/where you are at in the game. It ran fine for me until about 7 hours in and I got to the southern parts, then it just went to complete poo poo on my nvidia 770gtx with latest drivers and an i74770k

Coop becomes available at the end of sequence 2, it's about 45 minutes into the game. I recommend you guys give "The Tournament" a go. It gives you some pretty sweet mid-high level gear, which is nice to start out with. You have to go through 3 challenges, first is a stealth challenge where you guys have to pick pocket some dudes, the second is a parkour challenge obstacle course, and the 3rd is a fighting competition where you need to raise 4 flags and kill lots of mans. There are a ton to pick from though, the painting heists are a lot of fun too. Add me on UPlay if you guys want, I'm Spin_Echo and join the goon club, SAAC.

The game is beautiful but god drat the crashing is terrible. Every time I join a COOP game it dies within two or three minutes. God drat, I can't even post on their tech support boards because their web poo poo is crashing. Remind me not to pre-order Ubisoft stuff ever again.

Her, and pretty sure that it was the opening cutscene files that I deleted. Don't notice a huge difference to be honest, but oh well. Also I legitimately think that Black Flag has better core combat and gameplay. That being said the parkour in Unity is pretty chill and I really really like it, even if I do get stuck on geometry a lot. In all the earlier assassin's creeds I never felt like I was battling with the controls or geometry. I do here. Also I really want rogue for PC

Hello I would like to know more about your position regarding AC: Unity and why you think it's good. And uhhhh I don't know much about consoles but surely there isn't much that should be going wrong with them (as they are pretty much plug n play) so wouldn't that mean that something is wrong with the game?

I just fired up this on PC. I have "mimimum requirements" , as in a GTX 680.(although I am good on the CPU and memory side) So far (I am still in versailles) game is running pretty smoothly with high textures and nvidia features on medium. I haven't seen any bad framerate (only occasional stutter on cutscenes) and glitches are limited to the random NPC standing on tables, but nothing to make me facepalm. Game feels a bit different from previous installments. I like the improved freerunning and parkour seems better. COmbat is somewhat slow and clunky, but maybe I will get used to it. Game is definitely improvable. a lot. I agree they should have worked on it longer and tested it throughly. I think that high end pc users , after some patching and with nvidia tuned drivers will find it playable and fun. But I know that's the minority.
