socialsecurity posted:Have there been many story game play videos I'm curious how many missions will involve following some dude and listening to his dumb conversation only to be spotted and have to do it again. well in Unity. they took out the insta-fail stealth/follow dude missions. now you can either follow them, if you get seen it turns into a chase, or you can just shank the fucker and search his body for intel. rogue, i am not sure yet.

The White Dragon posted: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. I think the CFO does know and its implied you give Shaun his travel plans, so he gets gacked by assassins or something.

Stealthed Zombie posted:Does anyone know if we're getting a weird continuation of the "Modern Day" story line from Black Flag in Unity? Or is that in Rogue? And I guess I shouldn't say continuation but just like...more weird links and poo poo. Or is this something that Ubi has managed to keep close to the chest? Rogue continues that the black flag modern day stuff. Not sure what Unity does.

Napoleon's extended family are incredibly fascinating and dramatic and I think they could well figure into some AC5 expansion at some point. Yeah, I'd like to see Arno in the Napoleonic wars and 1832 rebellions and hell even 1848 revolution.

Tx2005 posted:So is this thing really as bad as the meltdown going on at neogaf right now? They tend to blow poo poo out of proportion so I figured I'd ask here. I am playing through AC: Unity. And wow, people who're calling this game ugly must find a shitload of games to be ugly. Cause it's gorgeous on my ps4. Screens and even the least compressed youtube videos don't do it justice. Looks beautiful on my ps4. Parkour took a bit to get used too. Feels a lot more realistic and weighty. Way less room for error if you know what you're doing, combat does indeed feel better and harder but it remains to be seen how it feels throughout the game and with other weapons. Great acting and music btw. only one glitch so far. So yeah Neogaf is full of poo poo. again

Tenzarin posted:I love how you have more control over how you run, the combat is great, the whole games feels slowed down just a notch so you can actually notice poo poo, you actually need to crouch to stealth, manually use cover, and tons of people are in the streets. The whole game feels more real from what I remember creed 1 to be like, before they turned it into a cartoon graphics game for AC2. I'm not too far but everything seems like its a great improvement to the series. yeah, the free running is much better. combat is mixed. i like the parry system alot it feels sorta like arkham except not as good. the gun controls suck as does the selection menu. alot of basic poo poo like dual assassination and using loving guns has to be unlocked. The game also needs to be patched to poo poo because i ran into situations where the attack input and the AI broke. Overall i like it so far and i hope they fix all the lovely control poo poo in the future game.

Mustang posted:So I've been playing Unity for a while and I still haven't had the game on PS4 drop down to an unplayable framerate, not even in that stained glass church, which you go back to again later. The only bugs I've encountered so far is falling through the ground twice which is a first for me in an Assassins Creed game. The second bug was on a mission in a graveyard and theres a mob of people outside of it but they can't get in because its all walled/gated off. However as soon as I finished the mission people started phasing through walls, gliding up and down walls and walking through the graveyard despite the fact that there is no way for anyone to get in without climbing up and over the walls. pretty much this, i think the combat and running have been improved . I hope they learn from all the bad poo poo too though.

Quixotic1 posted: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! 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.

Hopeford posted:I think there's something wrong with me. I'm not a fan of the gameplay of the series at all, yet I keep buying them just because I enjoy the atmosphere. Like Black Flag was incredibly fun to me, but only because of the whole setting/tone it had rather than the actual gameplay. Just knowing that the next game will be set in Victorian London made me go "Yup, I'm gonna play that." I am certain I won't enjoy the actual game at all yet that will do nothing to deter me from getting it. I dont mind the gameplay but i am in the same boat as you. Its the setting and the time periods that keep drawing me in. I am a history major, so i like seeing what they get right and what they get wrong. They usualy get alot right or at the very least the aesthetics right.

Is it sad that i am kind curious, maybe excited for ac victory. Ubisoft for all their massive gently caress ups and rear end hattery tend to actually fix broken and or dumb ideas in sequels. Plus i dig the Victorian age. Honestly doing virtual tourism and killing shitheads/semi cool people in history is one of the main reasons i keep coming back each round. plus secret societies poo poo kinda seems to fit in Victorian london

muscles like this? posted:Something the game really could have used was a short optional video running down the various parts of the revolution. As is they just kind of throw people, factions and events at you and expect you to just look up the info on your own. whats worse is all the enemy factions are just the San culottes "rebel" dudes, even when it doesnt make senses. at least change the hosed voice clips. when a "royalist" dude is screaming "kill the royalist" or "bloody conservative" it ruins my lovely history immersion.

I think the AC games are do poorly when they focus on specific large events(crusades, american revolution, french and indian war) they do better when are given a general era or time period (Renaissance, borgia era, golden age of piracy and to lesser extent french revolution) Like ezio is integral in stopping the pazzi conspiracy. all the assasisns creed games forrest gump, some just do it better then others.

This. the combat made you feel like a badass. Honestly. when will AC bite the bullet and make the combat like arkham and shadow of mordor. You can be a "stealth" game and still have fun combat.

The Grimace posted:Glad they're adding in whistling again. I think it's funny that they had an entire scene for that where it's like they were just saying, "HERE IT IS! We put it back in! Now shut up!" Seriously though, that alone will make things a lot more bearable. I am ok with both Fryes, but then again i have a soft spot for the puckish/dickhead rogue trope. If they arkhamize or at least better the combat, ill be ok. my guess is we will see better gameplay at E3. I hope its not just, gang fights. i want to fight templar bobbies and torries.

Darth Ballz posted:What is weird is that pretty much every game that Ubisoft publishes under their independent label has been border line fantastic. It is their AAA offerings that are suffering. In my opinion, it is just too much bloat. Too many people, too many ideas on where to take the franchise, too many ideas on where to take the games...they need to simplify and break it back down. Unity was a great looking game, the city had great graphics and sound design, but the controls were janky, the camera is still an enemy, and the plot was not memorable in the slightest (I literally finished the game a month ago, and can't remember anything from it other than the ginger bites it ), and the person that green lit all of those collectibles needs to be shot. the problem is Unity feels a lot like AC 1. Great looking and interesting concepts, but not that memorable except for a few moments. Ubisoft does a great job of creating big open worlds that are alive as hell and empty as gently caress at the same time. Unity for example. Its awesome to just wander down the street and watch the NPC do poo poo, but all the dynamic events you participate in are boring. The assassinations are fun, but the stealth is still meh and the crappies of the combat (even when fully upgraded) doesn't allow for a combat choice. Far cry 4 has been the only ubisoft game to get the open world feeling right to me. AC is my yearly game purchase, so i will probably pick this one up. I love the victorian era and i always thought the AC games handled general time periods (AC 2, AC 4) better then specific events (AC1, AC3, AC:U) so maybe it will work. i will probably just wait for christmas to buy it.

precision posted:This is amazing, I genuinely thought Black Flag was considered a modern, if not "masterpiece", at least "very very good game". Looking back the reviews for the PS4 version were quite glowing. On the other hand there was never a point where I thought "I should play AC3" (and for that matter, Revelations) even though I loved the poo poo out of 1, 2 and Brotherhood. They probably will go earlier in the next game. and unity is 13 bucks used on gamefly.

Mr. Fortitude posted:Outside of the bugs and performance issues, one of Unity's biggest problems is that there is too much to do. I know that sounds like a weird complaint when I've really taken to another game lately, The Witcher 3 which also has an astronomical amount of stuff to do. But Unity... eh. plus after the gently caress up that was unity, they seem to at least be taking fan criticism to heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB0QPx7nSLc so who knows.

JFC posted:I didn't have a PC that could run anything beyond AC III until this year so I've been catching up, playing games one after another. I really loved AC IV because it was different and pirates and just a lot of fun. By the time I got to Unity all the launch problems were fixed so I had no issues with it, and I also had a lot of fun. But when I played AC Rogue after Unity it just felt like a big step backward. By the end I was bored with it. As long as Syndicate doesn't have launch problems and can build on the best parts of AC IV and Unity I'll be excited to play it. it was alright, i liked the templar perspective but the cities felt rehashed and empty. I assume they will eventualy just remake it for current gen and rerelease it.

Snuffman posted:I obsessively follow these stupid games and is it just me or are they previewing AC:S with a lot more....real gameplay this time around? Like, it doesn't look like a scripted walkthrough but genuine, legit gameplay. probaly because they realize how bad they hosed up with unity. Sure unity not have been "worst game evar" but it was broken enough in enough ways that ubisoft gave out free games to compensate. They risked big on a glorified new gen tech demo and lost. so for now they are taking a more Conservative approach to the markting. it reminds me alot of what happend after 3, they were a lot quieter about 4. then again alot of the bigger studios have been more queit about their various yearly projects. i have bearly heard a peep from activision, even though AW and the BO3 beta were pretty fun.
