Now that the modern day storyline apparently allows for time glitches so you can kill Nazis during the French Revolution, you are a monster if you don't like it.

AC4 was the only good asscreed game in the series and this just sounds like monkeycheese bullshit. Prolly still buy this lovely game because I'm dumb as hell.

A game series that features, as a plot point, a sci-fi machine that lets you explore different times in the past, can suffer glitches that causes different times to bleed together. Yup, sure sounds like totally obnoxious random monkey-cheese bullshit to me. Boy, Ubisoft sure is stretching with that one.

exactly

What do we know about the story of the game?

Like every asscreed game, its incomprehensible garbage that tries to have a "twist" while winking and nudging at you the entire time.

It's pretty much because Asscreed games are awful poo poo and Ubisoft doesn't care. Jokes on me though for buying every game in the series though, including the new ones. At least Black Flag was legit fun while the rest were Simon says with Twilight-Pseudo-History fanfinction.

Games journalism aside (which it should always be), yeah, it's just an AC game with a heaping help of Patch or Die. Everything that means to someone who has played the rest is there. It won't kill Ubisoft but maybe it'll let them take a couple years to make the next one.

Ahaha.

Haha.

Well it's a good thing that Assassin's Creed Rogue: Black Flag 2 came out today!

Ubisoft didn't bother sending out many review copies of it in advance, but it looks like that was a tactical error on their part.

First review I can find says it's good.

noice! I'll prolly grab this on PC when its at a more sane $20-30 range.

I'm going to try to respond to you not as a troll but as if you were a person, so here goes...

Yeah, Black Flag was good, but not as an Asscreed game. I still think making a great Asscreed game that gets back to basics is possible, and I hoped this would be it, it seems that it's not. But for me, even a bad Asscreed game is about climbing historical stuff and stabbing historical people, so it's still a pretty ok time for me.

That ship sailed when asscreed 3 was released. Black Flag was the only good one and the rest were incoherent garbage.

AC2 and AC:B were the best Assassins Creed games followed closely by Black Flag. But your gimmick seems to be just endlessly posting bad opinions

I thought 2 was good at the time after just beating the first one. Later I realized that was not true, it was just that asscreed 1 was so terrible. Brotherhood and revelations were just awful. It wasn't until Black Flag that the engine was capable of pulling off a fun game.

So I've heard Ubisoft hosed up pretty royally on Unity...can anyone here detail what are the major issues with the game?

If you didn't have thin skin and put half the posters here on ignore you'd have read that the game has frame rate issues and gameplay on par with Asscreed 1. Its a huge step back from Black Flag.

Dec 22, 2004

Asscreed is a game thats about exploration and quick assassination. It seems like they wanted to do a stealth game that appeals towards everyone but then realized most people are bad at stealth (or they are bad and making stealth games). Either way, I actually prefer the quick battles. Asscreed games can be janky enough, could you imagine how much worse it would be if combat was more difficult.

^^ This guy knows what's up. Been playing since day 1, and the poor framerates were pretty bothersome but the game itself has always been really fun. Story's a little weak but who even loving cares, videogames, story, pick one. Now that the AMD drivers made the game very smooth, the game has gone from 'annoying to play but still fun' to 'loving excellent'.




Plus, I'm getting Far Cry 4 for free.

What a total waste of money, all that fun I've had with this game has not been real fun at all, silly me!

edit: Plus, I think Ubisoft has done a hell of a job of making it up to the playerbase for this whole mess, especially to those who had preordered. A free, brand new, sixty dollar game for a $30 pass is a huge offering that I hadn't seen before, and free $20 DLC to everyone who purchased the game is Ubisoft pretty much setting a match to a ton of money. I'm sure it's less about good will and more about wanting to win back some loyalty so they can actually sell future games, but I think the way that Ubisoft has handled this whole thing (they'll have pretty much completely fixed the game in a little over a month, which is lightning speed all things considered) plus all the free stuff is a pretty class act.

It actually reminds me of how Square Enix handled the fiasco that was FFXIV. Ubisoft has been and still remains one of my favorite game developers.

I'll probably also be preordering AC Victory, and I will think of you when I do it. :shepspends:

Free is too expensive if the quality of Watch_Dogs is anything to go by.

Dec 22, 2004

Watch dogs is awful. The story is boring as hell and the game freezes every 2 seconds because ubisoft DEVs don't understand streaming. The graphics are early 360 quality and every character is unlikable. The controls are unintuitive on both controller and mouse and keyboard.

The only positive thing I can say about it is the multiplayer is fun in short bursts.

Are you illiterate? I never said it crashed.

The only reason why you prolly enjoyed it is because you got to press the "hack" button a lot which, while providing no meaningful gameplay mechanics, triggered the dopamine in your retarded brain.

It's a bad game from a bad company. I got it for free and I was ripped off.
