Also ubisoft are really taking the piss now, it's one thing to release a game across this and last gen but fucking disgusting to release 2 separate games in a series on different generations at once, do they not know most people are already fatigued to hell with this series?

That'll be me having deleted the image from somewhere forgetting that it was linked to here. I can't be arsed just right now, but I'll rejig it to better represent the series as a whole, less focussed on III.

Could be the first clear XB1 performance win (afaik) on the cards. Neither version runs smoothly, so PC is doubtless the best choice for this Uber-Unity of mediocrity.

Well fuck me for posting something that might actually help people who own both consoles decide which version to get. I'll not bother again.

Mayber/Possibler.

Ubisoft with swords 7. Ubisoft with tigers 4 is out soon. when is Ubisoft with smartphone 2 out?

Can not believe they are still bothering with Watch Dogs U.

At least they make Rayman, amazing games.

I just can't see who is going to buy it.

Assassins creed has never been good. The combat is slow, clunky and boring. The AI is dumb as rocks 99% of the time, yet also capable of seeing you bump into a woman through four concrete walls and send guards after you until you are dead. Framerate is always sub-30fps, it feels poorly optimised and frankly the whole concept is stupid.

Tenchu on PS1 is miles better.

I dunno about fun. Last one I played was 3. First four hours were spent slow walking on boats and through caverns and maybe an opera theatre. I got it on psn+ for free and still feel ripped off as I could have spent that time scrubbing mould out of bathroom tiles with my fingernails instead.

I think the advantage Shadow of Mordor has (disclaimer: haven't played it) is that it didn't seem to have unrealistic expectations. In some way that is also something that was an advantage for Arkham Asylum back when it released. 

Ubisoft are just unable in most cases to match quality of product with volume of hype.

Thousands of chests and side missions? Bugger that. I really can't be bothered. The series peaked in AC2. They should maybe have left it there and had AC4 as a separate pirate game!

+1 on the separate pirate game. Give it a jump button and make it all a bit over the top.

Hi guys,

Videogamer have stated that despite some of the issues with framerate dont actually affect the game proper. I've played about 30 minutes on PC (because my PS4 copy arrives today and I didnt want to spoil too much) and was able to play it at a smooth 30-40FPS and was enjoying myself.

From a few of the videos I've seen the art is stunning. I can't quite think of a game based in the 'real' world with better art. Paris looks incredible.

I'm concerned by a lot of the backlash. This game isn't revolutionary (nor was it touted to be) but the vitriol from so many different quarters feels really weird.

Oh my.

I tried to open a treasure chest, but was told I needed the Assassin’s Creed companion app to open it, with no additional information or context.

I tried to open another treasure chest, and was told I needed to sign up for Assassin’s Creed Initiates to open it.

When I paused the game, the second option in the pause menu is an eStore that lets you spend real money on time-saving boosts, bonus in-game currency, and so-on.

This is a $60 video game set in revolutionary Paris that continually spams you to sign up for Ubisoft services via locked-away in-game content.

Oh my oh my.
