Assassin’s Creed Unity Review | CheatCC

CheatCC says - "However, when Unity was announced I felt… well I’m not sure what I felt. It wasn’t excitement, but it wasn’t disappointment either. It was more along the lines of “meh”. In all honesty, I was completely afraid I was now done with the series. Again they just had a game, to me, that was damn near perfect. It had freakin’ PIRATES, in case you didn’t know. So what would Unity need to do in order for me to feel as if I needed this new entry into the mega franchise? Simple really. It would have to retain the level of fun, multitude of things to do, and offer up a story I would find myself compelled to progress through. Could Ubisoft continue to deliver on those aspects they exhaustively advanced on with each installment? The answer might surprise you."

what and they gave dragon age a 3.0 for graphics?

JimmyDM903868d ago

Not really all that surprising when you consider that dragon age is cross-gen and ACU is not. The graphics on Dragon Age will invariably be held back by the constraints of also having to fit it on last gen.

I know a lot of people hate Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed
you may be one of them
I won't blame you

but it's true
ACU has better graphics

starchild3868d ago

Yep, no doubt about it. Dragon Age Inquisition looks really good, but you can see areas that were held back somewhat by last gen consoles. Unity looks amazing so far.

Stapleface3868d ago

But how is the gameplay? Please tell me the combat wasn't copy and pasted. Sure the combat was fun, for the first 3 games I guess. But I really hope they added on to it because it got boring very quickly in 4 to the point where I never finished the game. First AC I didn't finish. Really hoping Unity added enough to make it fresh again as I really like the AC series.

@staple

Combat system has changed and is a bit more difficult.

Detection system is harder. Harder to escape. Smarter AI. They track your last locations and ask the crowd if they've seen you.

Climbing has been re-invented thank god.

Beautiful game and start so far. Really loving Arno!

joab7773868d ago

Yeah, but wtf did they do on PS4 since Black Flag. Black Flag is so much crisper and clearer than Unity.

joab7773868d ago

Dragon Age is all about the depth of an rpg, and the world created.

I just don't understand why Black Flag looked so crisp and Unity doeant. I know they did it on purpose, but what the hell. The artwork and France is gorgeous.

Guy's. The graphic debate is dead..

It's about the overall presentation, the atmosphere..

joab7773868d ago

That is why I wish the PS4 was 1080. Black Flag was gorgeous and the art work in Unity is amazing...but hazy.

Predaking773868d ago

I have been reading that the X1 version is horrible with many frame rate problems:

"Areas lagged significantly on #XboxOne was completely smooth on the #PS4"

die_fiend3868d ago

Where you read that? It's quite interesting as I saw some Xbone gameplay and didn't really like the framerate issues I was seeing and was hoping that 50% more power would do away with these horrific issues.

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

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

andy85457d ago (Edited 457d 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

Furesis936d 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.

DarXyde936d 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.

YourMommySpoils936d ago

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

Knightofelemia936d 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.

RaidenBlack936d ago

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

ToddlerBrain936d 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.

staticall936d 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.

anast936d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
