The single player footage later on was good too, I'm guessing that it will be less fluid/polished looking in the final version, that's what I'm gonna tell myself with every Ubi game from now on, lol.

Apparently though, they've revamped the free running and combat too, you can no longer take on endless hordes of enemies. I'm hoping this is the AC that brings the franchise back to the AC2 days.

[Ryan57]

Lol at Rogue being better.

[Scarlett.]

Anyone for pop ins?

or really dodgy AI?

[Scarlett.]

I don't get why its running so bad, it doesn't even look that good, I'm guessing its the silly amount of peds they put in the game

As much as Ubisoft are wank developers, the CPUs in both these consoles are woefully poor by modern day standards.

Development on the game started was it four years ago? That means it was began on a PC, Ubisoft probably expected better CPUs and were probably left dumbfounded at what these consoles actually have.

However, with that said, it was still dumb of Ubisoft to actually champion the AI despite quite clearly knowing the CPUs aren't upto it. Also it's not running too great on PCs so Ubisoft expecting consoles to run it fine is just...

Also, AC has always ran like dog crap. The yearly releases are probably the reason why.

They're crap developers really. The CPUs haven't helped them, but for it to be crap on PC is pretty darn pathetic.

[Ryan57]

Reviews embargoed and the s h i t is going to hit the fan by some reviewers it seems.

Joystiq are going to destroy the game.

Edit: Lol, just found these. I bet Ubi' can't wait for this year to end. It has truly been disastrous.





Edit 2: And another two.

Lol.

[Creggle]

Wonder if the PC version has this crazy popin and poor performance, it had better not, there's no reason for it

[Ryan57]

Those shots above are from the PC version, I believe.

Ubisoft ladies and gentleman

[Creggle]

Crap was looking forward to this aswell, 4 looked and ran beautifully and it was alot of fun, this is just.. a mess? I suppose that happens when you try and throw so many blockbusters out all of the time. Worried for Far Cry 4 now.

[Ramsay]

Yeah **** DAT with a capital FUUUUUUU
i'm getting Rogue

[Ryan57]

Whoever this is: http://www.biogamergirl.com/2014/11/...me-review.html

8.7.

[Ryan57]

Mainly getting positive reviews, lol.

[Ramsay]

Rogue's story is supposed to be very good

[Scarlett.]

[Scarlett.]

So it's not just the terrible coding that makes this game bad

I tried to open a treasure chest, but was told I needed the Assassin’s Creed companion app to open it, with no additional information or context.

I tried to open another treasure chest, and was told I needed to sign up for Assassin’s Creed Initiates to open it.

When I paused the game, the second option in the pause menu is an eStore that lets you spend real money on time-saving boosts, bonus in-game currency, and so-on.

This is a $60 video game set in revolutionary Paris that continually spams you to sign up for Ubisoft services via locked-away in-game content.

This is a $60 video game that paces out unlockables and upgrades at the exact speed that Ubisoft wanted, but then offers to sell you “time savers.”

Lol, Ubi'. Seems like it might be better to play offline.

I don't really see it ever running that well. One because AC never runs well and two it appears to be CPU intensive.

She probably will. The AC series has generally been up and down for a lot of people, myself included, but if she's liked them all then she'll probably like this one. There's also a spin off called AC 3: Liberation which is on the PS3/360 which would probably interest her, if she hasn't played it already.

[Ryan57]

So the micro transactions range from $19.99 to $99.99

Spoiler:

What the actual fook? What has happened to this company? This year has been like one big troll experiment.

And yet people will still look forward to The Division.

[Ryan57]

Far Cry 4 out next week. Bound to also run like turd.

[Ramsay]

Ubisoft are fast becoming the new EA

[Ryan57]

The One beats the PS4, although not by much. Seems the faster CPU has managed to help... a bit... what with the ridiculous, and needless, number of NPCs.

Some think this confirms MS paid. Paying for 5 extra frames makes so much sense. More like the One was the lead platform and got the better end of what is still horrible optimisation.

[Scarlett.]

It might be better, but its still bad, there's no excuse for this game not hitting 30fps. Ubi's obsession with NPCs is dumb, it was never an issue in the other AC games.

Wait what? It can't hit 30? I assumed the FPS troubles meant it couldn't hit and stay at 60 considering what developers manage to squeeze out of consoles, they sure are failing hard this generation. I remember Oblivion, Dead Rising, Gears of War etc. running beautifully and they were basically launch titles, this generation nobody is hitting 30fps, crazy! Glad I stuck to PC until this gen manages to sort itself out.
