When the embargo lifts, we'll see if the real world complaints translate into an impact upon the real world scores.

I agree

Change thread title to "Unity is cinematic"




Well I was a fool to expect anything else than shit framerate.  Its all about pleasing the uneducated peasents with something you can market. Framerate is hard to market in comparison to images so industry-cancerous devs auto-focus on visuals.

And Ubisoft claimed that AC: Unity uses every ounce of the PS4 and X1's power.... Technically, it can only that the game uses the systems' resources very inefficiently.

He reviews for Joystiq, I think.

The lack of reviews is most concerning.

If the campaign isn't even good, that's worse than visual stuff.

I started with and gave up on AC with the ACIII series. I bought III, and III Liberation on vita. I was able to pass through solid walls, because I had no idea what to do or were to go, so I started looking around, and experienced way too many bugs to count.

On PS3, I've done silent kills which had me clip through an impassible tree, which would have made me reset the game, but luckily, they were the last kills needed to activate the cut-scene.

I've shot people while running away from them while in my running animation, because once you lock on and press a button you are guaranteed the kill, no matter what. and just so many random problems, like a deer stuck, clipping in a tree, trotting in place. How does that even happen?

I said then, I'd never buy another assassin's creed game, ever again. And, I ended up getting one for the PSP to play on vita. I didn't play it long, but even that felt like a better game.

I'd surely never get another. I thought that since it was the third game, and every one was talking about it, it was supposed to be a good fun game. What the heck is wrong with you people? I got both of them on sale, but ACIII was still 50 because i got all the DLC with the game.

Never again. I said that and I still bought more Assassin's creed games, giving them another chance, just to see... Oh well. This is sad.

What? That framerate is below acceptable.
Also, I saw this on Metacritic:

Unity doesn’t just play well, it looks beautiful too. The graphics have a stunning painted quality to them that may be attributed to the way that different materials react to the lighting.

If the framerate issues are this bad then I don't see how the game can play well.

Exactly. We're all sitting here compalining, but that won't guarantee to have any real impact.
