''2014 was a pretty rough year for video games. Culture wars, shady business practices , a whole host of delays. The year felt like a true transitional period. In terms of the quality of games, 2014 was fair, and quite diverse. 2014 was also the year of broken games, so broken that the consumer started express frustration. If there’s one thing 2014 proved, at least to me anyway, it was that pre-orders need to die.'

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Of course they do. They're scams designed to help bolster pre-release revenue for the publishers. There's no benefit for the end-user pre-ordering stuff.
Yeah there are some people who will argue that they get special launch goodies or retailer specific DLC, but they seem to forget that ALL pre-order DLC bonuses are just cut from the main game and resold to you. It's BS and it needs to die.
Yes. It should've died a while ago, in fact.
Lame pre-order bonuses, store-specific pre-order bonuses that end up being widely marketed six months later, the risk of playing a buggy mess at launch that needs seven patches to function, crowded broken online servers at launch, and the store-specific deals and sales pitches when you actually pick up the game?
Hell yeah. Get this crap out.
I dig pre-ordering games , like promotional goods and all that other stuff. Doesn't bother me
I rarely buy games at full price
Why does it need to die? If you don't wanna pre-order, don't do it? Not rocket science.
