webmeister posted:The stupidest part for me was that this all-seeing, all-knowing company had it's two biggest threats working RIGHT THERE IN THE LOBBY and USING THEIR REAL NAMES Yeah, I did think that was a little weird, but it seemed like for the most part, the building itself was mostly host to a lot of people who had no idea about the whole Templar thing. Even the CFO was completely clueless, which is why later in the game he gets taken out back at a conference and shot. ... Which, of course, adds an entirely new level of contrivance because why wouldn't you just fire his rear end and replace him with someone you can actually control instead of abducting him, but whatev'. As long as the modern day poo poo means that Ubisoft will eventually develop an Assassins Creed title that discards the historical pretense and lets me gently caress around in a major city and its outlying suburbs, I'll be happy.

In rear end 3 during the Brazil level, the event flag for the scene where the hitman shows up and kills the chick with the battery core never got thrown. I spent the next thirty minutes looking around for where the hell he was supposed to be while NPCs ran around screaming as if the scene had happened.

Lothire posted:Story-wise Rogue will be dealing with stuff between AC3->4, where Unity is the proper next step in the story. If that means anything to you. Oh, too bad! They could've taken advantage of the co-op aspect and gone old-school multiplayer where one guy pilots, and everyone else mans the guns. Then again, while I'm not too familiar with the French Revolution era aside from Dickens, I kinda get the impression that there wasn't a lot of naval combat involved.

pengun101 posted:I always took lee as a brown noising toadie who was respectful and jovial with his friends and betters inside the templars, but treated anyone outside the super secret club as a piece of poo poo or a disposable asset. also lee in real life was a dirty unkempt motherfucker who had packs of his dogs following behind him constantly. 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.

Aphrodite posted:Kind of like how people will insist the Japanese VO is better in everything. Comparing VO kinda depends on how well you understand the language they're speaking in, too. I played The Witcher in Polish and I was like "yeah this is fine!" but I'm sure a native speaker would think I'm a dumbass for saying so. I got a pretty good Japanese language education in my weeb days, though, so I can compare the small poo poo they do in the Japanese language tracks to the stuff they skip entirely in English and say yeah, the English localizations tend to suck a lot of flavor out in favor of (thanks to the aforementioned poor directing) weird, emotionless grunts and poo poo.

I just started playing Unity, but while the frame rate is more or less okay, the game keeps "skipping" every few seconds regardless of what's happening on-screen: it hangs whether I'm in cutscenes, walking around, or even just in menus, so that last one makes me think it's not a hardware issue on my end. I have a GTX770 if that helps. I ran a search on it last night, but all I got was reviewers complaining about how it wasn't optimized and people on forums cussing a lot. One of my hits had something about one of the settings (SSAO?) causing it, but the text wasn't in the link when I clicked on it.

Klades posted:I would be down with them going for the "assassins should be sneaky and not death dealing whirlwinds of steel" route if sneaking around was anywhere near as fun, engaging, and loving functional as it is in a number of other games like the Arkham series, the most recent Splinter Cell, and even that 2D stealth game Mark of the Ninja. I dunno, one of my favorite parts of Black Flag was dropping poison darts on the assassination targets while staying in stealth and then waiting for the game to congratulate me for killing him with a flying leap without being detected. There's something to be said for its stealth side, but I guess my experience isn't really the one they intended.

I picked up a 6GB patch the other day and now the only thing keeping the game from running smoothly is my GPU, all the stuttering is gone. I only finished chapter 2, but I'm digging it so far. I'm just a sucker for these parkourey games and jumping down and assassinating guards, I don't really care if the story is dumb or what. I also applied to LGSA as twdragon (I think).

Ahdinko posted:Runs pretty good on my I5-3570k and Nvidia 970. The only thing I can complain about is that it will freeze for about 10 seconds every half hour. That freeze sounds like a GPU crashing error, I don't run into it at all. My GTX770 runs smoothly enough--probably in the 30-40fps range with reasonably high settings and no Vsync--but slows down a little after about sixty to ninety minutes when my graphics card starts to get too hot.

I dunno, I've done my fair share of running around in south Paris, plus a couple multiplayer missions too. Maybe I'm just lucky. Speaking of NPCs, I dunno if this is a bug or what, but I noticed the weirdest thing last night: the priests in red (Cardinals?) seem to all be super-low res for me. All the other NPCs are normal and fine, but those specific guys are PS2-level quality with their darkened eye areas, blocky heads, and mitten hands.

Sorry man, I don't think even modern laptops could run Unity very well. But the good (bad?) news is that it probably isn't entirely your computer's fault; AC:U is just really poorly optimized. Rogue might've gotten a better port.

The Iron Rose posted:Yeah I finally finished black flag yesterday and absolutely loved it. The story and gameplay were both fantastic and worked together well, and I actually cared about the characters involved. On one hand I did, but on the other, it felt like it spent a lot of time fuckin' around and doing its best to avoid getting down to business... which I guess is actually kinda representative of Edward Kenway as a character. One thing I didn't like was that he just didn't really give a gently caress when I, as the player, wanted him to quite a bit. Becoming an Assassin seemed more like a FINE, MA, GOD drat event rather than legit maturation. Shame, really, because he was very likeable otherwise.

Mr. Fortitude posted:I expected with a slower combat system, something more along the lines of Dark Souls where if you're good you can really gently caress bosses and enemies up but on the other hand, they can gently caress you up. Whittling them down slowly when they can kill you within seconds isn't fun, it's tedious. Higher star enemies more often than not just dodge to the side when I fire any pistols which more or less made them completely useless for me except in fringe cases and even then for sniping someone from a distance you'd be better off using the phantom blades. Unity protip: always be using smoke bombs. It probably isn't the intended way to fight, but they let you assassinate 2-3 enemies of any size per bomb and you can just stunlock entire armies of dudes to death. Not to say that excuses anything or that the rest of the combat wasn't kind of poorly-designed, but the option is there.

Constantly dying over and over again because the path you need to take doesn't really look like a path, and there's an obvious path that keeps glitching out next to it. Yeah, that whole sequence was a pain in the rear end. Let's script things to make it cinematic, except the falling debris is interactable objects and can instantly desynchronize the player if they step in the wrong place or the timing is off and the ceiling falls on them instead of in front of or behind them

Skeezy posted:Kinda wish they did different play styles for different assassin's. I dunno but it would be cool if maybe one assassin dude didn't climb buildings or whatever but he did disguises or something. It's probably because Assassin's Creed is the Climb On Buildings Jacket Physics Simulator 20xx. If they were willing to experiment with other sneaking styles, I think they'd make them into very different-looking spin-off titles. Who knows, tough, maybe they already are? They put out that 2D stealth game a couple weeks ago, maybe they're trying to branch that into what you're describing.

Give us "delayed investigation" assassinations like in The Saboteur: shank a guy so he bleeds out, but doesn't really cause a fuss until ten seconds down the line when he slumps over and people start checking it out. Triple assassinations. Quadruple assassinations! Go all in.
