Your Assassin Creed impressions * BEST AC TO DATE

My first impressions - this is the best Assassin Creed to date. Finally Ubisoft nailed it in recreating the appeal of AC2 and Brotherhood. The main character is a french version of Etzio Auditore, and I must notice he even surpasses Etzio in charisma. The game is played like a good action adventures with a lot of comic elements and humor that I loved about AC2. And then AC3 Revolution got too bloody serious with north american indigenous people genocide of theirs. AC4 was better, but naval combat got too repetitive, and the main character still was kinda grumpy.

This time around the game is much more lighthearted. And holy shit, those cutscenes, textures, population density, lighting and special effects are trully good. But you will only appreciate it if you turn TXAA on. By some reason my gtx780 is getting more fps using this option than all other AA. Without it the gamedoesn't look that great. TXAA removes that shitty grainy visuals.

And regarding game performance... unfortunately IS NOT VERY GOOD. It's not like it's choppy or something, gameplay is smooth and never falls under 30, BUT it never goes beyond 45fps. It's like the game strives to run at 30 FPS. I am getting around 30-40 fps at high, very high and ultra with little or no difference. It looks like the game doesn't care if you lower or increase the quality, it just will run at bloody 30-45 fps at all settings.

My setup is

I7-5930k 6 COREs - multi thread support my ass, the game would run on a simple 4 core i7.

16 GB DDR4

and GTX780

Getting 30-45 fps at ultra with TXAA at 1080p

Getting 30-45 fps at very high quality, AA disabled at 1440p

The game is unoptimized, but it's still GORGEOUS

The population density is trully next gen

The clothes textures look marvelous

Those fireworks. My gosh.

Cutscenes are top notch and there is no delay in transition between gameplay and cutscenes

How many hours have you put into it?

might as wait for patch and drive update

*pops in*

I see you're playing graphics again.

*goes back to his amazing wii u library*

Im really looking forward to it. I loved the last game and hope this one is similar in that keeps me engaged throughout the whole game.

Since I'm still at work, I still haven't played it. But when I bought it first thing this morning, my impression of the case was "damn they're barley any screenshots on game cases anymore"

Can't wait to play it though, I might be too busy with TMCC tonight though.

I won't play this until sometime next year but Revelations is my personal favorite . Black Flag is best as an overall package imo .

Its asassins creed. no failing mechenics, tutorial, repetetitive, shallow, casual, no naval combat, non game.

Black Flag because pirating>>>>>parkouring and assassinating.

But AC2 for proper Ass Creed

Honestly pretty meh IMO. Black Flag was the only AC game that left me in awe. It's probably the only unique game in the series.

My impressions?

It's another Assassins Creed game

The same rehashed shit since the original. And there's bound to be another one 6 months from now.

looks like a ps4 game.

I still have to beat Black Flag. Unity can wait.

Needs more pop in and frame rate drops

With my...

• i5 4670K 4GHz
• 8GB RAM
• R9 270 1050Mhz

Unity 1920x1080:

• low = 35-40FPS average... Dips to 20-25FPS

Anything higher than Low settings is unplayable.

People with GTX 780's get dips to 15-20FPS.

Horrible game to run.

Here's a clip of someone with the same slightly better GPU and a i7:

I am just glad reviewers are finally starting to dock the series for having horrible controls. Both the IGN and Polygon reviews mention it....so yay! I feel vindicated.

wat?

revalations is the fukin worst. it single handily put me off rehash creed forever

I would've pre ordered it but they removed it from Steam ON THE DAY I WANTED TO PRE ORDER IT. So now I have to wait till I gots dem moniez again.

I think it looks really awesome, review scores be damned.

I was going to also get this with the bundle since I'm considering an X1, but I think with the scores it's getting I will pass the game entirely and go with something else.

Wait, they removed it from Steam?

not enough pop ins

Keep it in the sticky please!
