Preview of Patch 3 For Assassins Creed Unity

Ubisoft:

With Patch 2 live for PS4 and PC—and, as of this writing, with the Xbox One version in the pipeline—we want to start sharing a bit about what we're working on for the next major update, Patch 3. As compared to the previous patch, Patch 3 is going to be larger in scope, addressing a number of bugs in the areas where you’re telling us you're having the most problems.

Glad they are working on all the bugs. If only they released it a bit later it may have been considered one of the best AC's yet.
I hope Ubisoft learn from this and take more time on polishing their products before their release.

^this 100%

The feeling you get when you face a three story building with enemies littered throughout, and outside it, and need to reach a guy on a certain floor to assassinate is fantastic. Feels a bit Splinter Cell/Batman/like an actual assassin.

I love that you have the clear advantage stealth wise, and the enemies have the advantage in open combat/ numbers. I can't count how many times I've been killed being shot in the back because I was impatient.

However, it's also their worst release yet, on a technical level. It should have been delayed for a couple of weeks(assuming that's how long it takes them to get it running in an acceptable fashion). It's disgraceful. Both us the consumer, and the game itself deserved better than that from Ubisoft.

I must disagree. The graphic is great but the fighting style isnt as good as the other AC games. You cant use youre stealth claw to fight like in the other AC games. They were brutal. AND you cant kick them off ledges or into the water like in the other AC games, AND you cant use enemies as cover when other enemies shooting at you. And i feel the combat system isnt so much variety in the combat system and when your execute them. It felt like they was rushing this game too much. A couple of month delayed and this game would be perfect.

I bought my copy at launch with the Target B2G1 free deal. I am not going to play anymore and am going to wait for patches.

Nodoze3869d ago

I hear patch 19 is going to be really special. Nice work Ubisoft! Shipping broken games really builds trust with your fans.

Tzuno3869d ago

And no comment on fps drops....ubishite.

oODEADPOOLOo3869d ago (Edited 3869d ago )

It says so right there in the second to last paragraph:

"We are also investigating various performance issues including framerate drops, and are looking into how we can address them. We’ll tell you more about our progress on that topic in the coming days."

U done pulled a Ubisoft son, check yo self before you wreck yo self!

mochachino3869d ago

Until they get at least a consistent 30fps I'll pass on this game. Choppy frame rates just ruin the immersion for me.

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

andy85464d ago (Edited 464d ago )

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

Five small but brilliant maps in games

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

Furesis942d 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.

DarXyde942d 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.

YourMommySpoils942d ago

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

Knightofelemia942d 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.

RaidenBlack942d ago

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

ToddlerBrain942d 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.

staticall942d 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.

anast942d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
