With the patch in place my game has been running smoothly and I can co-op like a champ. I suck at the heists, but that's not the game's fault. I'm actually impressed that they brought in fixes this quickly, I would be willing to recommend this game for PC now.

Alright I admit I got a taste of the coop so I decided to say gently caress it a put up with this game.

Suddenly I can't play the game without ACU.exe crashing....ok..ok fine I'm really liking 1791 Paris and the story...I guess I can still play with no online features and the lovely FPS if I turn stuff down.

Now characters have no voice during cutscenes....just...NO GOD drat IT THIS IS NOT FINE.

WHAT THE FLYING MONKEY gently caress UBISOFT?!

Did they do any Q/A on this piece of poo poo? gently caress it I'm just gonna drink my weekend away and play GTAV on PS4 next week.

Is the iOS companion app expected to work? Note that this is not the same question as whether it's SUPPOSED to work.

also holy lol, there's a pay version that they presumably think someone will pay for.

It works if you don't get the no Assassins bug.

You can get around it if you get the "Additional Assassin Slot Unlocked" notification. Clicking that will take you to the buy screen and let you buy some to start off.

some of them will be locked and require companion app poo poo and the gold ones will be blocked because Initiates isn't working so everyone is stuck at lvl 1 and there's no way to open any of them save the lvl 1 chest that gives you Edwards assassin armor

That probably means it didn't actually accept yours and it's still floating somewhere in Uplay. I'll give it another look tomorrow.

The numbers on all the armor are written stupidly.

Like the coats with restricted area notice reduction or whatever it's called. They're all written in negative percentages, which looks like they mean they make the enemies notice you faster. This would be dumb as hell and useless though so I have to assume they mean it makes them take longer.

I'll try again. Co-op is fun as hell in this game, I think they really got it right. Though it might be nice if there was a median ground between "slowly sneak through bushes" and "run in screaming and murder everyone"

Actually, half the team running in and causing a huge ruckus while the other half actually accomplishing the mission seems like a winning strategy to me.

How's the modern day story in Rogue? It's always been one of my favorite aspects of the series (yes, I know) and I was really disappointed with how it went nowhere in 4.

It is probably the worst in the franchise in that regard. It's really goofy and half-baked even by AC modern day stuff and doesn't really have much plot. The framing device is that the Assassins hack into a video game you (the player) are playing to recruit you. It sounds (but I haven't played it) like Rogue is a bit more in-depth about the modern day stuff.

well, apparently they aren't sending out PC copies to get reviewed until after it's been released. After this assassins creed release, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort of serious issue with either SP or MP of FC4 on pc.

Rogue completely reuses all of the modern day stuff from AC4 and has you walking around the exact same office with the exact same tablet hacking (or "repairing" this time) the same computers. It's pretty much reading the same wink and nod emails written about abstergo stuff that are actually commenting on the AC series.

I've done a couple outside the animus segments and it just feels like more of the same as AC4.

Rogue is a direct copy of Black Flag's modern day stuff - they even reuse the same offices. They contrive different scenarios and the hacked materials are fun in a meta way, but its not exactly riveting.

You'd think rifles would be balanced such that since you can shoot enemies with them, they are inferior melee weapons to swords and axes and stuff. But...they're not. Whacking enemies with them is just as effective as going after them with a halberd or whatever.

AC's developers sure love Shawn, and seem to be under the impression that no one would tolerate an AC game without him. AC's developers think a lot of strange things.

Same as God of War and stuff, I guess they originally planned it as three games (plus spinoffs) and never once thought about what to do after the conclusion.

They got to where they needed to start tackling the resolution / take Desmond into the present as a full-blown Future Assassin, and then were like... "Oh poo poo, that ends our story! Nah, let's just stop talking about that stuff and then we can do time-piece assassin games every year for the rest of forever."

God of War is a weird case of a developer actually wrapping up the story of their main character, and then tackily throwing in a stinger that absolves that action of all weight.

If you care at all about the stories of Adewale, Haytham, Achilles etc. Rogue is worth your time. Its kinda hilarious how much of the plot hinges on Achilles being a complete rear end in a top hat, but its definitely in line with what I remember from AC3.
