At this point I think they just should have made a ship game instead of an AC game. The ship part of ACIV ran great and looked great, whereas the towns looked and ran like ass. Maybe in some weird way the PC version of Rogue will be a decent new AC.

I'm going to run it on Medium or Low, then. Problem solved.

This shows an unfamiliarity with Ubisoft games. AC IV for me, and I read about a lot of other people experiencing the same thing, had about the same framerate whether it was on super high or super low. Every AC game has been like that for me, and their other games have had different ways of being total shitshows. AC: Revelations had a really weird microstuttery sort of thing that was really jarring, and then it just stopped halfway through the game. Far Cry 3 had microstutter like a bastard and I had to run it windowed and install a frame limiter to get it to stop.

I like Ubisoft's games, but they have so many problems and run so bad that it's easier just to give up on them. I want to play a game, not spend hours troubleshooting their shitty engine so that it'll even work, and by "work" I mean look bad and run like crap anyway.

There are more people in the US who've died this year so far from being intentionally poisoned than from Ebola, so my plan is to catch Ebola to kill the inevitable assassins that are coming for me.

Considering there have been sales where you can get the whole Origins package -- DLC and all -- for $10-$20, I can't imagine who wouldn't have this already who would want to play a 40 hour RPG.

When you take out your bow it slows down time; you can easily dodge a little way out of combat and headshot any archers that are annoying you and keep your combo going.

Playing it on a PC with an i5-3570k and a R9 290, looks real nice and runs real smooth at 1080p. Everything's on the highest setting. Haven't had a problem with it in 10 hours. There was some grousing on the internet about the PC port of this game, and certainly PC ports of console games tend to have problems, but I can't really see how they could have done any better.

Destructoid 6.

Destructoid 2nd opinion:

Fuck. I may actually pay $50 for this game now. I can't tell you when the last time I paid full price for a game was.

Endless Space was incredibly dry. It just felt like numbers went up and colours changed if one number got too big.

So this is how they make a game with a ten year lifespan.
