They pushed it out early for Thanksgiving/Black Friday. I put the blame almost fully on the business portion of the company. There's lots of good stuff in the game, and it's ruined by a severe lack of polish.

Eh, they were definitely still Templars, just a group of Templars that went more independent after a schism. Haytham himself proclaims that the Templars will always rise back up in his last conversation with Connor, so it's inaccurate to paint him as having turned his back on their way of doing things. It's more like he said "Well those guys were a bunch of dicks, my group will go be Templars the right way. Unity touches on this kind of infighting a bit as well. I 100% agree that they need to keep important poo poo like this in the games, though. I don't mind if they want to expand and add details in their books, but ffs anything crucial needs to be in the drat game. Revelations had this problem too.

lol Unity app froze up and when I reloaded it all my progress was gone along with my money I bought using Uplay points, good job Ubi-Dooby-Soft At least I managed to get one Nomad chest open!!!!! it was money Daily Forecast posted:To be fair I swear that every game these days has a day one patch. It just seems standard procedure anymore to release games unfinished, ship them, and then make a mad scramble to actually iron out everything in the last few weeks. Games have changed so god drat much in the past ten years. I can remember everyone being absolutely against pre-planned DLC. Now it's just part of the package. Games without season passes are outside the norm. Now we're becoming null towards day-one patches and spotty games. You try something like this ten years ago there'd be rioting and pissing and crying. Now it's just "oh well, what're you gonna do?" I mean, yeah it's good that devs can fix post-launch issues but it's so obvious they're now relying on patching to give themselves a big cushion around the launch window. And I don't think there's enough gumption at the consumer level to try to dissuade them from doing this sort of thing. matrix ripoff fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Nov 16, 2014 |

Where is Charles Lee? A friend of mines tries to justify the depiction of Charles Lee with his mustache-twirling evil and disheveled look after Charles Lee's induction into the new order by saying since the memories were Connor's viewpoint, they were biased and more embellished on purpose against Charles Lee. Since before Connors first encounter with Charles Lee, Charles Lee is a perfect gentleman to Haythem and the world at large. I suppose he could be right Charles Lee, but that's way to subtle an idea for Ubi writers me thinks. Case in point, Connor's irrational hatred towards Charles Lee even after Connor discovered it was Washington who did his tribe in and not Lee. In short; Give me Lee! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLFlq2SerGQ

Come to think of it, does Sony have any frame rate requirements to get permission to publish for the PS4? If your game runs at under 15ps at all times, is it just on you to fix it or is Sony going to say something about it?

Obviously digital-only games don't go gold, but they still have release dates set beforehand, and if they're on Steam they have to submit a build to Valve (though I don't know how long beforehand) which doesn't preclude something like a day 1 patch. Beyond Earth had a retail release so that still went gold, and the version they uploaded to the digital servers may or may not have had a day 1 patch included automatically, but that thing still exists. Basically day 1 patches aren't the devil. Patches in general are a good thing. It's the fact that they're required to get the games into acceptable working/running conditions that's the problem and console manufacturers should not let that poo poo happen because that's why the cert process exists in the first place!

Day one patches should be for minor blemishes that don't seriously affect the playability of the game. Stuff like graphical clipping, minor bugs that might affect 1 out of every few thousand players, etc.

I spent like 2 or 3 minutes in a crowd waiting for a dude to show up so he could be "rewarded" for his efforts while a bunch of liberators were fighting with some guards in the corner of the square. I eventually noticed that he was one of the guys in the fight. Then one of the NPCs killed him and the mission ended.

They probably figured they'd pull a classic Roman times b movie trick and make all the voices British because that's what American audiences expect of historical drama. The sad part is they were probably getting french actors to fake british accents instead of just laying some appropriately nasal french accent tracks down. chicagoans were speaking with canadian accents in watch dogs fer christs sakes.

i dunno, having fake french accent just to sell its France, in case you werent aware, is equally silly. but maybe thats just me, as non native english speaker. outrageous french accent on the other hand would probably offset any tech issues Unity has

You're only right because that's the way accents in historical dramas are usually handled, but I don't think American accents are any less justifiable than having the French people speak with the tongue of a country that they loving hated during that time.

Yeah, my take on Lee was that even in the Templar sequences, he's a Grade A bastard who'll do what's necessary to get the job done and serve his own ends. He was never a nice guy and he's portrayed at all times as the backstabbey kind of person who puts on an air of congeniality and probably tells himself that he's Totally A Nice Guy every night before he goes to bed.

In case there was any question with Rogue of "Is Ubisoft just trying to capitalize on Black Flag?": I think a disgruntled dev wrote the Abstergo emails in this game. I just took these. (Sorry for bad screen photos, but I don't have an easy way to capture from my PS3.)

Because I don't have that kind of endurance I cleared the main story in two sittings, with another dedicated to loving around for ship and Shay upgrades. There's still fetch quest stuff to finish up, legendary battles to do and a few upgrades to find, but that's about it. It's not a terrible game but it's not worth $60 unless you really need to scratch that itch. ^^^That's got nothing on the massive cry for help that Black Flag's frame story was.
