Can see why reviews are being delayed until after launch

Godmars2903446d ago (Edited 3446d ago )

They did?

Haven't been following the game, never cared for the series, so i have no idea if you're being sarcastic.

Regardless, this is another failing of game journalism. Either these issues showed up in previews and weren't reported out of favoritism, or the review copies are nothing like the retail copies and otherwise irreverent.

Eonjay3446d ago (Edited 3446d ago )

There was an embargo in place that extended to 12pm EST after the actual release. So he isn't being sarcastic.

Regardless, I don't know if they are allowed to reveal any details (technical or otherwise) until after embargo is up as part of the review agreement. That is a problem. Dat NDA

Godmars2903446d ago

Even if this is the result of NDAs, because of them, it shows that game companies have too much control. Especially when considering the first-day and pre-order sales mentality they've only been pushing.

They're entitled to quick high volume sales, to put out incomplete games or games which require day one patches, when reviews can be released, but consumers somehow don't have any rights regarding those bad games unless a big enough stink is raised. And even then.

Ironically this is what should have launched Gamergate: a game about the French Revolution.

Just needs a "Let them Eat Cake" PR statement, and Ubisoft have been overflowing with those lately.

That is a big problem with the industry IMO and the only thing I know to do is "vote with my wallet." I used to always buy day 1 but because games don't seem to work at launch, what's the point? I almost never buy used. I want to support the developer but I've found myself waiting until games drop to $29.99/$39.99 before I buy them as I figure that should be long enough for the patches to have rolled out and most the problems are fixed.

I haven't had any bugs, only seen a few glitches (the kind I see in most games, especially open world), and the game runs fine for me. I set shadows from "PCSS" to "high" and textures from "ultra high" to "high" and I get a solid 30fps in the game. It looks quite impressive.

I'm also happy about a few things I didn't even know about until I played the game. For example, you can turn off all the highlighting BS in the menu. I've wanted this setting in AC games for years and they finally did it. Hudless is the way to go for me.

Also, I think it's nice that when I play with my DualShock 4 controller all the prompts in the game are changed to DS4 prompts. I think this is the first game to do that. So, whether you are playing with an Xbox controller or a Dualshock controller the prompts will be accurate.

Eonjay3446d ago

Out of curiosity, what specs are you running with?

Feralkitsune3446d ago

PRetty sure the download "fix" on that page is some kind of malware or something. OIt tries to make you take a stupid survey. Don't trust this at all.

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Shaz from GL writes: "Assassin’s Creed Unity is looked at as one of the worst in Ubisoft’s iconic franchise. But playing it nearly 10 years later reveals it may just be the best"

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy8536d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis515d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde515d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils515d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia515d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack515d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain515d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall515d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast515d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
