Don't know about you guys but EA doesn't seem so bad right now. And Origin is at least useful and has an offline mode.

If I didn't know the article was about AC, I would have been like "what game is that with floating eyes and mouth". Now I understand why the game requires a GTX680 "minimum" on PC, because the console version is already horrible as it is.

That's too bad, I like AC. Although not sure I would have been able to play this one anytime soon as it takes more computing power than I have or new gen consoles I don't have.

They kinda deserve what they're getting considering good looking games like Metro Last Light and Crysis 3 was well optimized enough to run on even low end hardware at low settings. What I see on the Steam forums is people getting roughly 20-60 fps on every setting lol.

When I see the Ubisoft marketing "oh so almighty power of next gen" and then see the game drop to 17 FPS in a cutscene, you see how much they are full of sh!te.

Laughable... And for this Ubisoft is charging $59,99 (or $89,99 for the "Gold" Edition), plus $29,99 for the Season Pass? (O_O)
It's the same old Assassin's Creed of past years, only in France this time with more generic clones on the streets, and highly glitched... obviously, an unfinished product. *Sigh*, I loved this series, but since AC3 this has been going down, really down, and overpriced... (-_-)

AC : UNITY will be a huge success in France because of the French Revolution era, but there is nothing new since the first one. Grab the money, Ubisoft !

Don't forget $99.99 of microtransactions completely separate fro other DLCs and the smartphone app that is required to open some loot chests.

I love Assassin's Creed, and love the French setting as well, but I kind of... expected this to happen -_-'
It was more than perdictable............ :(
Today the "bigger hype = shittier game" seems to be the standard, because they need the huuuuge hype to sell their game faster than the critics can type :P I'm not against microtransactions.... in free mobile apps.
But I hate when a game breaks the 4th wall by saying stuff like "insert your credit card to open this chest". It ruins the whole immersion. But ofc money > everything else, especially gameplay and immersion -.-

Yeah, I forgot about that... incredible greedy (>_<)

Surely its a bit early to declare that its flopped. Its only been out a short time, and for something being so lambasted why the heck are its Metacritic scores so high. It the problems are so bad those scores really should be lower. Seriously? Wow, they really are taking the piss there.

I am done with Ubisoft. I have no respect left for this company and it would take something huge for them to get it back.

They could at least come up with a better name at that price point, micro doesn't cut it anymore.

yup
greedy people, always doing it wrong
tsc tsc
hope they learn from their mistakes from now on

The next Pokemon games'll be out this month. Why not MEGA TRANSACTIONS?
I imagine Rome 2. And its still not 100% fixed after so much time. By a developer that has only one other game to work on and on a game with easy moddability. Now consider AC where its badly ported to PC and difficult to modify and the chances of it being fixed by a publisher that's pulling a Zergrush on critics with so many upcoming games; and the probability of it being fixed seems very slim.
