Well that's weird. I followed the link from this eurogamer story, maybe you'll have better luck that way? Incidentally, the pre-load seems to be live, certainly on PSN, as my PS4 just downloaded it.

So GMG sent me a 35% off voucher because who knows. Grabbed a preorder for $39 because I'm a shameless consumer whore who leans loving nothing I am literally what's wrong with gaming. I'm also one of those crazy idiots who loved Unity, though, so how bad could this game be? Daily Forecast fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Oct 16, 2015 |

Even considering 3 and Unity, you know most of what you're getting with an AC game.

Probably not though, I feel like they have to at least be aware that doing that sort of release two years in a row isn't something their franchise can recover from. Even if it's not a great game I expect it to be at least playable.

I think that might be standard practice now 'cause they caught a lot of poo poo last year when they delayed the embargo of I wanna say Far Cry 4 to like 12 hours after the game was out. It might've been Unity now that I think about it.

I think it'll be just fine, but all the reviews will say stuff like "same old AC gameplay, needs to reinvent itself" and knock at least one mark off the score because Unity made a lot of them look stupid.

Yes, I'm sure that people who will say the game that we haven't played yet isn't good will be actually wrong because... In the same hyperbolic vein I can't wait for the fanatic OP to praise everything like it's the best AC ever. Palpek fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Oct 17, 2015 |

I will probably buy and play this game, because, I have enjoyed the series as a whole despite fatigue and missteps along the way. I am, however, glad that the PC version is delayed by a bit so I can see some feedback first and avoid another Unity. And, that's my opinion on Assassin's Creed video games, and the upcoming release of Syndicate. Thanks for reading.

Either their overworked PR managers threatened to blow their own brains out if Ubi didn't suck it up and send out review copies properly, or this one isn't nearly enough of a shitshow to go into lockdown and cross fingers for a recoup of losses. It's probably a less hyperbolic version of the former

All their games except for Far cry 4 and WW1 puzzle game were poorly received or glitchy as poo poo. to me Unity feels like the game they thought they could sell well by just the AC brand alone. So they basicaly tried to make assassins creed 1: 2.0. now they are trying to make assassins creed 2: 2.0. Now to me it seems to atleast have likable characters so thats a plus for me.

I still like the AC rigmarole and would like another AC game with a neat protagonist that isn't a flaming trash heap. That's it, a simple request I don't think this will fill, but I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

I remember seeing some inkling of a good idea in how assassination missions were set up in Unity. There's at least a few designers trying to get the idea of actually designing stuff around interesting multiple playstyle business, it's just that the balance was hosed and those missions had the problem of not being the actual focus of the game. Also the movement system and AI were so hosed that improvisational gameplay didn't feel nearly as good as it should have. I'm not expecting an AC game to ever be worth any more than maybe 25 bucks at most, but it would be nice to have one that meets that bar and isn't tedious as gently caress to go back to due to all the fun bits being locked behind padding.
