'Assassin's Creed: Unity' Makes A Strong Case For Video Game Recalls

Video games aren’t recalled very often, in spite of the leagues of problems plaguing many of the year’s biggest releases.
Rockstar recalled Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in 2005 after a pair of highly sexual minigames were discovered in the game. The content had been locked away but was easily unlocked by the gaming community, and retailers began pulling the game from shelves in what is now dubbed the Hot Coffee controversy.

this is why i stopped buying games first day.

Sheed3439d ago

exactly, buying games day one in this generation is a serious risk

Str8Chaos743439d ago

Yep, this is also why I never pre-order anything. Especially on PC, once you buy it and it's bad you're screwed.

thehobbyist3438d ago

Not entirely true. That's based on how you buy the game. If you buy a game through Origin you have 24hours to claim a refund. And if it was a game in a state as bad as Unity. I can almost guarantee you'd get your money back.

Orbilator3439d ago

Not had any probe at all, never crashed on me, not noticed any poor frame rates, and I'm enjoying it immensely. I'm not saying theere are no problems. But I've yet to see them.

Th4Freak3439d ago

You're so fortunate, you should buy a lottery ticket, perhaps you will have so much luck as with the game /s

starchild3439d ago

It has run fine on my PC too. No crashes or serious bugs and it runs at a very solid framerate. I've had a good experience with the game.

N311V3438d ago (Edited 3438d ago )

It's all bullshit. Most problems were patched out day one or shortly after. The only people still bashing AC Unity are immoral gaming journalists and editors because it generates clicks, trolls that haven't played the game, and people with a crap PC that needs an upgrade.

AC Unity is a good game, maybe even a great game. The bugs are minor at best and nothing to worry about.

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

andy8540d ago (Edited 40d 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

Furesis519d 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.

DarXyde518d 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.

YourMommySpoils518d ago

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

Knightofelemia519d 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.

RaidenBlack519d ago

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

ToddlerBrain519d 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.

staticall518d 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.

anast518d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
