Sup guys!!!

I logged in because of the Titanfall 2 discussion and wanted to add my 2cents :P

I also feel like the game is slower but it gets fast when you use both the grapplin and the slide properly. What I don't like movement wise is that you use less the walls like you used to in the first one. It's like the maps are made so you go on foot and need less to run on walls.

Areas are clustered with to many objects imo. I understand they wanted to up the graphics and environments a bit but now you end up in closed areas way more.

The Titans are not as fun as they were. The get into titan animation was always nice to see now not so much. They also feel a lot weaker and it takes way too much time to get one. I agree with one guy that said it's almost better to not have a Titant than to have one.

Where are the bots... it's like they appear in drop pods and that's it. They added a lot to the game as now you can run without encountering any enemies while you always encountered bots here and there...

The sounds and music are not as engaging.

As someone that loved the first game to death I feel like they reinvented what didn't need to be reinvented.

I'm so glad The Coalition didn't implement much change in Gears. Gaming community can kill a game for a slight change in anything.

Welcome back btw.

I'm quite a bit late to the party, but I think I've played enough of AC Unity (sequence 8) to give my final impressions.

The graphics are amazing and belong to the best I've seen on X1. Textures have a high quality, lighting is fantastic, the amount of NPCs are insane and it's probably the first AC game to have good looking characer models. The amount of traversable houses is impressive and Paris is just fantastic and belongs to my favourite cities within the AC universe.
The frame rate has probably improved a lot over the launch debacle. While it's not always 30FPS, the majority of the game feels good enough. If you synchronize the view points and in some cutscenes I've seen it to get to probably 10-15 FPS ish, but overall very playable. As far as glitches go I've encountered a few but most of them were minor annoyances at best.
About the gameplay, it's probably the worst AC game. I like the change that RT+A climbs up and RT+B climbs down (which is fast and works very well) but why can't I wall eject when I want to, even if it's listed in the upper right corner that it's a viable movement option? Same for pressing B to get down from a ledge. Most of the time it just doesn't work. Makes things like escaping VERY annoying. While climbing up and down works well, moving horizontally isn't that great and I feel like precision has been removed.
The cover system isn't very good either. Press the cover button and try your luck. When you need it most it won't work. Promise.
Camera doesn't zoom out enough when you're in a fight. Thus many attacks come as a surprise and you have no chance of parrying them.
I have absolutely no problems with Arno or the story. He's no Ezio but he's fine. I also like the rifts that take you to more modern times. So far they don't add that much, but it's nice to see something a little different.

Overall I hate to say it but it's the worst main line Assassin's Creed simply because of the gameplay changes. They wasted a huge potential as this could've been a very fun game but as of now it's only good when everything works as it's supposed to.

 

7.5/10


If anyone still wants it there's a possibilty to get a digital code for under 1€. Just quote me if you want to know more.

You should play Syndicate next, it's better than Unity imo, one of the best AC games. 

yeah I heard some good stuff about Syndicate. But also saw a huge reduction in NPCs and traversable houses to make the game run better. Unfortunate, but Scorpio might fix that

Why do so many X1 games have glitchy achievements? It's so annoying. Achievements on the 360 were simpler to get than this.

Which games? Ryse is the only game that I remember had a glitched achievement that never unlocked. And it was over two years and plenty of played games ago 😋 they don't always unlock right away though, I think it's live issue but doesn't happen often for me.

This. There was a time when i got an achievement but it randomly popped up as completed 2 days after i actually did it.

Well many achievements take a bit longer to unlock even though you've already met the criteria. But if it says "Done. Unlocking" you will definitely get it.
Other than that there have always been games with glitchy achievements. Personally I haven't seen that many X1 games that have glitched achievements.
Current F2P game Lies of Astaroth is one of them, but the developer is going to fix it soon.

So many games. Far Cry 4, MCC, RoTR are ones where I didn't unlock story related achievements and had to replay the entire game to get them. The achievement unlocking or not is just another thing to worry about.

I actually haven't had glitched chievos in quite a while now. It was a big issue for sure when they launched the X1, but I don't think I've had one glitch in like a year or so now.

Yeah it's certainly not the game's fault. You could have an achievement at "Done. Unlocking" and then de-install the game and it will still unlock some time later.

The problem ist that achievements don't unlock in offline mode, which means that you don't get them at the time you fullfil the criteria, but at the time XBL gets the data. It can take a few seconds, or a few days at worst. Personally I hate it when you unlock them but you don't see the message pop up. You have to look in the achievement app to see if you got it or not.
