7 Reasons 'Assassin's Creed' Is the Least Playable Game Ever Read more: http://www.cracked.com/blog/7-reasons-assassins-creed-least-playable-game-ever_p2/#ixzz3K95t9U5l

I don't know about the PC version but the game is pretty playable on PS4 :/

and reason no.2 hmmm

#2. It Is Yet Another Sexist Screw-Up

The assassins in AC:U are doing more than just killing a few select targets -- they're clearly out to end human civilization. How else do you explain the fact that the game offers four-player co-op but nobody's a woman? I mean, I'm no biologist, and the game is set in the 18th century, but I think the number of women in the world is at least one in four. Maybe even one in two! But AC:U's technical and creative directors explained that female cooties were simply too much hassle to bother programming.

What has this world come to when one of the most PC game gets called sexist

In the beginning it says "Game is created by multicultural team of various faith and beliefs"

brb strong female lead

brb Black Assassin leader

brb Female Templar and Asssassin leaders

brb Thomas Dumas side character

TLDR: Gaming community is just a dumb hive-mind

@thatonedudenick:

i woudl say medium high setting usually looks better than console games, but not sure about PC AC Unity, you could probably get away with High if you turn down the AA

@extomar:

from people on forums, PC performance has been hit and miss, one post we have people going "OH it runs better than i expected" while others can't.

Some people are probably underestimating the hardware demand of this game which isn't merely GPU intensive.

The amount of polygons in the game world is pretty crazy and every single building you cant enter looks high quality from the exterior.

The larger buildings all have dozens of rooms which are super detailed and even the smaller buildings you can enter are super nice to look at.

This game is probably poorly optimized, make no mistake but people are probably confusing this with their biased expectations just cause this is a mainstream AAA AC game :/.

If people are expecting this to run 60FPS on ultra with a single 970 or 980 they are insane (high or medium probably achievable looking at youtube) But ultra nope lol.

Remember this, a game like Arma II or Arma III on ultra setting with a single 980GTX or 970 will only fetch you around 50FPS average during wide open sections and probably less if there are multiple unit on screen.

So yeah people are delusional in many cases if they are going "OMG why cant i run this 60FPS with a 970!!!!" especially if you cant even run arma II lol or RTWII with maximum number of units on screen on ultra.

People are getting average 40FPS and stuff which i think is acceptable.

i mean this guy is getting decent FPS? the biggest killer is probably AA on ultra

I agree, have you played The Austrian spy mission?

Cat and mouse chase through the maze level dissapearing and appearing behind guards in the maze to silently kill them while the soundtrack played. was awesome

And for the first time when a random cooperates, threw a smoke bomb at two guards and we both ran up and killed em while they were confused.

Only thing im scared of is that i dont play through all the co op mission before population goes down and im not able to find a match

Wonder what the name of the soundtrack is, cant find it on youtube

PS4s FPS could definitely use a slight boost, at least to put it on Xbones level. i reckon ubisoft should drop NPC count by 10-20 percent (dont know if that would help).

But i think its no where near unplayable as im terrible at this game, and yet im progressing through missions fine. (thanks to the super dumb AI, kill Siverts guard outside confession box, nek minnet still goes in to die haha)

Paris is definitely a work of art, every building exterior is so detailed and full of polygons and the interior is just oozing with fine details. ermagerdd hnnnng.

I find glitches like pop ins dont impact me that much unless its in an empty space and it large chunk just appears but game is so dense and so much stuff is going on its hard to keep track of glitches, i wish they would fix it asap but im here to play the game and enjoy it not on a witch hunt to look for glitches and join in a circlejerk.

6hrs of playing and havent fallen through gameworld once nor had character faces not load with floating eyes.

Definitely an 8/10 game for me (9/10 if they improved FPS and glitches abit), combat is super difficult against large number of enemies and they definitely dont attack one at a time but still give you a chance.

@mb:

i hope you are trolling cause pretty much every great game last gen ran below 30FPS

@bloodtooth:

finally some sense... and people now are getting their pitchforks ready cause some cheeky developers put some joke referencing 1080P in the game.

oh lawd.

half of it is probably placebo with most of these people having enjoyed games that are floating around 20s FPS but now they are just conscious of it cause of all the negativity drummed up by people.

honestly, people are just out for blood, now wait for the division (which actually does look like smoke mirrors) and then people should get angry hehe

@privodotmenit:

yeah, looking at the performance analysis Xbone is a lot better than PS4 but even PS4 rarely dips <20, whats wrong with low 20s for a demanding game?

People are throwing their arms in the air and calling this game trash and telling how they are cancelling their pre-orders.

Much of this i feel is just backlash from watchdogs and general ubisoft antics when people realised they never deliver games that look like their demoes (FC3, Ghost recon *cough* Watch dog *cough*) but now AC Unity is being released with all the 900P controversy the angry mob finally have a scapegoat to burn at the stakes even though AC Unity is probably the game closest to its original reveal and vision : /

People were bashing this game so hard before they even played it! When it was leaked and the low IQ screenshots were uploaded people were like "THIS IS WORSE THAN AC BLACKFLAG LOL" and when the leakers defended the game saying it looks good in motion they were labelled ubisoft shills and pr guys ... hmmm. Now that most people find out that the game IQ is pretty good and the world is heaps detailed they continue going on about the FPS which shouldn't stop people form enjoying the game that much, i dont see anything wrong with 25FPS average (on xbone)!! glitches and stuff, yeah they need to be fixed but thats what patches are for! And people are even bashing this game not being in french!!! almost every NPC speaks french but cutscenes are english and lets not forget Les Miserable, not a single french word was heard that day : /

If you wanna bash Watch_Dogs and that massive downgrade fine, but there seems to be no respect for the developers who "almost" fullfilled that original vision shown in the E3 demos with the gorgeous Paris and immense crowds.

@yummylee:

well i hope people who bashed the shit out of ACU now start a riot when GTAV is released and people somehow the FPS is sub 30FPS : /

sub 30 FPS didnt stop people enjoying TLOU and GTAV so why should it here? LoL

@yummylee:

no its not, did it stop people from enjoying those games?

Were people really expecting consoles to be that much more powerful? Next gen open world games are going to be technically demanding (GTAV PS4 will run at 30FPS/1080P) and couple that with the fact that most open world games (especially one with such a dense city and so much NPCS) are probably held together by very shoddy codes (yup, falling through the game world and heads dissapearing) and yeah well this game running poorly doesn't surprise me.

I for one welcome 3-5k NPC crowds, its about time that developers pushed the envelope of this area. I remember how weird it was Omaha beach mission in MOHAA had like only 7 soldiers on the beach.
