:siren: HOW TO FIX YOUR SETTINGS ON PC: :siren:

Use FXAA, disable vsync and change to borderless windows to let microsoft do the vsync. If you have steam add "-disablepagefilecheck" (without quotations) to launch parameters. If you still have issues turn the shadows to low.

Of course this only fixes the major stuff, indoors and crowd scenes are still a loving mess.

Black Flag is the only good Asscreed game. It also is a really good game in general.

Even Unity has something like shanties, but I think you can only play them from the codex thing.

Well, tried to purchase through India as per Savvygamer, but the Checkout isn't having it, and I point-blank am not giving Ubi fifty loving pounds for an AC game, no matter how pretty they've made it. That's not price gouging, that's outright mockery of the people, a blatant 'Hey look you fucks will eat our poo poo no matter what price tag we stick on it, laffo'.

Well it's a good thing that Assassin's Creed Rogue: Black Flag 2 came out today!

Ubisoft didn't bother sending out many review copies of it in advance, but it looks like that was a tactical error on their part.

First review I can find says it's good.

Edit: GameInformer gives it a 8.25, slightly higher than the 8 they give Unity.

The only "bad" parts of Rogue are the blatant copypasting of art assets and that the main character might be even more bland than Desmond.

Being more of the same of Black Flag automatically makes Rogue better than Unity even if Rogue is mediocre too.

So those of you who added me on PC should send a request to join the Club. There are apparently Club leagues where-in each week our Creed totals stack up against 5 others and whoever has the most gets prizes. Woo. The more interesting feature is that in the Club room under the Cafe Theatre, members of your club show up in all their horrible, goony glory.

E: Joining the Club happens once you're out of the prologue, go to My Brotherhood, My Club/Search For Club, search for [SAAC] or Goon_Ass and it'll ping me to let you in.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

Ubisoft confuses me. Child of Light and Valiant Hearts were two of the best games from a AAA studio this year. They also put out Watch Underscore Dogs and this, which are deeply subpar.

Shanties should be in every game, especially the ones with hilariously dirty lyrics. Whatever version of Drunken Sailor they put in Black Flag did not have my favorite verses.

anyone getting weird pop-in on textures and objects, specifically the townspeople? wondering if it's just me or that's just how this game do, because it's really noticeable running around

also, what does the "stretching on/off" option do

It seems to be a split philosophy between making interesting inexpensive projects that are almost like indie games and then churning out several "AAA" titles per year that are designed from the ground up with a business model and a spreadsheet in hand. There doesn't seem to be anyone at Ubi who's really compassionate about the AC series and it's beginning to shine through the cracks in the games themselves.

Edit: Just learned that Blood Dragon II isn't happening. Shame on you Ubisoft.

Rogue sounded interesting to me because I want to see things from the Templars perspective, instead of playing as an assassin for the umpteenth time.

you can crouch and stick to cover (but can't corner around objects or snap to other objects, making a room full of furniture a death trap)
