Damn. They fixed a lot of things.
I wonder how bad it'll be for people without an Internet connection.

GameSpawn3874d ago (Edited 3874d ago )

You'll miss out on the community events and coop missions, but there is no telling how much of the game is dependent on these until the game launches and more people complete it.

Judging by Assassin Creed IV (it had community events - white whales and additional chests) you won't be missing much, but again the coop missions are the unknown factor.

If you are referring to people not getting the patch, it may be a glitchy mess, but even people with the crappiest of connections that play offline will surely take the time to download the patch.

Genuine-User3874d ago

After watching a few different streams for this game today, I have come to the conclusion that Ubisoft should have delayed Unity for another few months. Character navigation is buggy, loading times are long, A.I is absolutely crap and the frame rate is all over the place.
As someone that's enjoyed almost every game in the series, unity looks rather disappointing.

thekhurg3874d ago

900MB patch for a 900parity game. Makes sense.

yarbie10003874d ago

Where was the changelog? I must be blind because I couldn't find it

PaleMoonDeath3875d ago

That list.. unfinished game at it's best.

If we didn't have the internet, think of how screwed we would be.

2pacalypsenow3875d ago

in the days of dial up most games had to be finished.
Technology doesnt improve everything unfortunatly

PaleMoonDeath3875d ago

True, I'm not all that happy with video-games that need patched to work as promised, I recall MGS4 having no updates at all, until the trophy patch of course, and DMC4 as well, but other than that games usually take a good while to be updated before played.

Miss the good ol' days, put in the disc and go, glitches were rare back then too.

Finalfantasykid3875d ago

I wouldn't say glitches were rare, infact there are lots going all the way back to the Atari 2600, but for the most part they were not game breaking. Now if you play an unpatched game, you will probably be lucky to complete the game without it crashing numerous times or something going horribly wrong (game save corruption etc.)

SnotyTheRocket3874d ago

So, let me get this straight.... They aren't allowed to work on the bugs after it's gone gold? Stop fu*king whining about it. 99% of people who give a shit about Assassins Creed have an internet connection.

madmonkey013874d ago

shouldn't have "gone gold" if it wasn't finished. but this happens more and more.

UnHoly_One3874d ago

Remember how buggy AC3 was at launch? That game was a mess.

Mustang300C20123875d ago

Except anyone with a PS4 or One HAS to have Internet for the system to start. It has only been a year or have you forgot both require the Internet to download a day one patch?

TheWatercooler3875d ago

Except that isn't true. I know someone who bought a PS4 last week who doesn't have an internet connection. He is playing it fine

2pacalypsenow3875d ago

xbox 1 is the only console that you need internet .

when it first turns on it downloads an update that removes the always online thing

Kiwi663875d ago

Guess you and @TheWatercooler forgot about the 308mb day one update for the ps4 its funny how some people have selective memories

yewles13874d ago

Excuse me, but could you please show us where the PS4 day-one patch was needed to play games?

Oh wait, it wasn't...

thekhurg3874d ago

Except the PS4 doesn't require internet to play video games out of the box.

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

andy85462d ago (Edited 462d ago )

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

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

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

Furesis941d 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.

DarXyde940d 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.

YourMommySpoils940d ago

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

Knightofelemia941d 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.

RaidenBlack941d ago

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

ToddlerBrain941d 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.

staticall940d 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.

anast940d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
