I still really don't get what happened in the last year or two. "THEY LIED IN THEIR PRE-RELEASE MEDIA! SALT THEIR FIELDS AND BURN THEIR FAMILIES!" Yeah? They always have. That said, it does look pretty lovely in those picture, but that last video that was still up looked relatively okay.

I don't know if we've seen the total size of Paris, but if 95% of the game is spent there I assume it's going to be the series first city-sized city, and therefore 20% is probably still significant. Or it's all bullshit.

macnbc posted:"Apologies users, this experience isn't available in your country." Because apparently Ubisoft has just decided to make their "We're big boy distributors" move now, pulling all their games from Steam and forcing people to get them on UPlay. I hope you preordered on Steam.

AngryBooch posted:I've heard that all three of the big Ubisoft releases this season contain in-app-purchases. Maybe they're running into an old Valve policy or something? Longshot, it's probably Ubisoft being a pack of idiots like EA. The Crew for sure does, wouldn't be terribly surprised if the others did.

MinibarMatchman posted:all this poo poo looks stupid and intrusive as gently caress, jesus. it's like the most uplay bonus bullshit they've ever crammed into a game. No wonder the review embargo doesn't lift till the day of release. As ever, review embargo dates don't mean poo poo. That said, a lot of the UI seems really incredibly awful. The coop health and abilities are intrusive as hell.

Samurai Sanders posted:But why not let the player show off their customization to other players? One reason I liked Saints Row multiplayer is seeing all the crazy poo poo the other players came up with. They see your customization of armor and weapons, your face just isn't Arno, it's some random beardy schmuck. Which isn't important in the first place because hoods.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:Why the gently caress are you playing Assassin's Creed with a mouse anyways? I did that once with AC2 while my controller wasn't working, and never loving again. The beauty of PC is that you can use mouse and keyboard for games that control better with them like FPSes and RTSes, but also controllers for games that control better with one like fighting games and third person action games like AC. This is a late as hell response, but I use M&KB for all of the AC games. Have since the beginning, except for Black Flag when I tried to use controller for about two hours because I'd been using it a ton for Souls games over the past two years. I'll say that compared to every time I hear "Oh yeah I just jumped off a roof for no reason all the time in AC__" I've never once had that problem while using M&KB with the games, and the rest of it controls fine as well. Shooting Blanks posted:I got a Uplay key from Green Man Gaming and it's currently downlading via Uplay though - it's not on Steam. They also said there would be no Uplay preload for Watch Dogs and there absolutely was. It's probably a right hand left hand issue because Ubisoft is enormous.

MinibarMatchman posted:why on Earth would anyone want to play a game below the par of AC2 if they like the AC series? I know this is now the popular sentence to parrot but it's a boring one and insinuates people who play the series are retarded. Probably because AC2 was both an exceptional game and such an enormous improvement over AC1 that it's hard to compare things to it. Since the series has been mostly treading water in terms of forward mechanics progress since then, it's hard to get a game better than AC2 because nothing has been such a dramatic leap forward. Unity might be that game, but probably won't be.

MinibarMatchman posted:Unity kind of has the look of a "proper" followup to the AC2 material, which will probably be interesting to see reflect in reviews (maybe the words "return to form" thrown around). AC3/4 took different landscapes than the kind of architecture in Rome/Paris. Vertical exploration is something I missed a lot even in AC4 with its tiny huts and beach villages. Yeah I like what I've seen so far in those areas, I'm just sort of worried that it might also be another AC3, which looked great in prerelease and then... was AC3. E:  In case no-one had noticed, it appears to be a 12AM PST/3AM EST launch.

Samurai Sanders posted:Why is this even a thing? In either 3 or Black Flag, I forget which, they made it so you will climb on stuff if you run into it even when walking normally, i.e. not holding down R1. That goes against one of their basic design principles from the beginning of the series, and one that I always liked. Well now we've got Climb Up/Climb Down buttons so that should be better, at least in terms of random climbing. Random jumping off stuff,

rizuhbull posted:So how much online stuff is there? Co-op missions and features and whatnot. Co-op Missions: Repeatable 2-4 players distinct missions mostly separate from the main story for loot (money/items), no idea on number of individual missions. Other stuff: Full free roam for 4 players of the entire game (aside from probably Future Paris and specific story areas).

Kurtofan posted:What's this? That hood-suit looks completely stupid, in a good way. It's the initial Abstergo-ified Animus setup they throw you into at the start of the game, while they're still under the pretense that you're just a normal dude/dudette playing a Total Immersive Experience game. Where-in they tease a bunch of AC games that'll take years or never happen. I wish this didn't run like poo poo for me because the climbing is a goddamn dream and the fighting as at least fresh, if not harder.

The Iron Rose posted:I'm going to bed but I sent you a request, and will join the club once I log back in. It looks like it's mostly a stats/perk consolidation for friends/like-minded players. Average Missions Per Member, doing certain things gives all players in the club boosts (+10% Creed points for actions, etc) and it keeps track of a bunch of minutiae.
