Warning, the game leaked!
Fucking Pirates win again.
funny enough i tend to trust 'pirate' impressions on games more than some gaffers initial impressions.
having just spend $60 on a game kinda skews opinions to be more positive out of the gate ;)

I'm deleting his game and probably going to record the first 15 minutes or so.
What kind of links are accepted for the RAW capture from the elgato?
I'll gladly upload it
LETS DO THIS!!!!
Wait, what? How do you have a copy so early?Originally Posted by ViciousDS
FINALLY, get to my cousins house....hooked up all 4HDMI's (thanks for HDCP sony and thank goodness for splitters that work.)

I don't, cousin does.....hes been working at Target since its the only place he can hold a job (he has MD and has problems standing for really long periods of time they support him with his problems and he gets a hell of a lot of privileges.)Wait, what? How do you have a copy so early?
But our Target just got shipments in yesterday which is when he snagged a copy.
I would have been to his house sooner with my Elgato but he was sleeping by the time I got home last night.
no, its just sold before street date......our target for the most part doesn't give two craps about street dates (it was the same deal when I worked at the Circuit City when it was still around in our area, I owned Halo 3 nearly 2 weeks before the official release as well as CoD4.) I don't work for any merchandising stores now so sadly I can't officially buy my own till release date (unless my cousin doesn't like a game that I want, then I just give him the money for it.)Originally Posted by Wonder Cheese
Is "snagged" a euphemism for "stole" since I'm sure the store registers wouldn't have allowed him to purchase it yet?
EDIT: alright the way his Target works is with pre-orders for employees they can take the games home early but the actual sale doesn't get registered till that Tuesday. They haven't had any major problems with employees in the past doing this although someone did happen to get away with the original black ops on the 360 by getting fired over the weekend(didn't show up for work) after getting the copy in advancement.)
Sorry for using the word snagged it was a bad use of it.
Hmm, curious. Usually the register at a giant chain like Target will refuse to sell the game before the release date, so it's typically not something that's just up to the store or the employee, but the computer system as a whole. Let us know if the game is any good when you get a chance.Originally Posted by ViciousDS

1. Despite loving 2/brotherhood/revelations I thought 3 was a flaming pile of trash.Originally Posted by x-Lundz-x
This thread is only 4 pages so far? Has interest in AC gone down that much?
2. Waiting for reviews to tell me if it plays like 3 or if it plays like the previous games.
3. Waiting for reviews to tell me if there is much awful present day stuff.
4. Waiting for next gen.
I am really starting to wonder if Edward dies at the end of this game. The chaos of Pirates chasing freedom resulting in the death of his father would be a pretty good reason for Haytham to go Templar.
I have been listening to the soundtrack for days now, and it is really amazing. It is the best since Brotherhood and ACII, and just as good IMO.
It has Drake started from the Bottom playing lol!
When I worked retail I was allowed to take home a legendary edition copy of halo 3 a week before the game came out. It wasn't a mom and pop store either. Huge company in Canada.Hah, sorry, I call bullcrap on that. No giant chain store is going to allow their employees to take a game home early before the actual sale is rang up, period, that just isn't gonna happen. Your cousin is full of crap. I don't actually care, it's really not my concern, but that's a silly story.
Currently have the Wii U version ordered as it seems it is getting the preorder content. Wonder if you can buy the content from the other retailers at some point. However not the DLC content. It's the later that I'm sort of worried about if I take a huge liking to the game and want more of it and replaying it doesn't satisfy things. Guess that's the risk of getting this version.
Also, LOL at Abstergo being a game developer and the setting being chosen because pirates sell games
I thought it was pretty funny......makes the modern day setting not as serious, well for now and actually makes me like the modern setting because you are technically a game tester.....I would love to do that shit as well lolOriginally Posted by Ivieto1138
This game feels so much better than 3 already.

Yeah totally agree. If the game continues along this line and there are no major twists into super-seriousness. This would basically sell me on infinite AC games.Originally Posted by ViciousDS

Well... major twists... is there a spoiler thread for that yet? Would like to discuss spoilers. PS3 Version is a mess btw. broken FPS, but beautiful scenary and way better than AC 3 (Just saw the first two hours from a link from Gamefaqs). Gameplay is better because it plays more like Batman with counter and stuff. :) Enemies attack you anytime even if you fight against someone else. MC is very funny and cool he is like a pirate version of Ezio. Modern day stuff looked like Google lolOriginally Posted by Ivieto1138

It's like we're the same person. Though with Watch Dogs delayed the likelihood of me buying AC4 has slightly increased.Originally Posted by LuchaShaq

Guess it was a good choice to wait for the PS4 version.Originally Posted by phoeniks314
I payed the game maybe 1-2h xbox360, had to stop, it's not mine. First, the game looks absolutely fucking digusting, AC3 looked much better. In the first minutes had a strong FC3 deja vu. The gameplay is OK i guess, played 5-6 missions and everything felt rushed. The story feels like a joke or wtf, there are some very interesting characters and probably will get better.
I hope not. All versions of this game should be reviewed as they're all likely to turn out differently regardless of what Ubisoft says. The PS3/360 version compared to the Wii U version compared to the PS4/Xbox One version compared to the PC version. I hope the various outlets have requested different versions. As I hope the console specific sites were sent the versions they requested.Originally Posted by Josam27o7
Reviews for this game are due next Tuesday. Is it right to assume that all reviewers will have gotten to play the PS4 version? I heard from one reviewer at Polygon (Arthur Gies) that he played through Black Flag on the PS4 for his review.
I would like to see what the PS3 version looks like. Use of the word "disgusting" is not helpful at all. Especially here on gaf where exaggerations run wild.
I just want some Wii U impressions before my copy ships from Amazon. Would like at least like the chance to cancel it just in case something has gone horribly wrong with the Wii U version.
Aveline missions? Included in the PC DDE.
Black Island Pack? Included in the PC DDE.
Pirate's Bounty Pack? Included in the PC DDE.
Edit: Actually, it seems the Pirate pack is a pre-purchase incentive regardless of the edition, but that's of little consequence.
wat?First of all, foliage details seems to have been pared down on PS3 compared to Xbox 360. Considering we see this in almost most of the multiplatform titles, it is not surprising to see the same here. The last game with the same pared down foliage details was Grand Theft Auto V.
If you can run it on a PC, or if you're going to get a next-gen console, AC games have the cruel tendency to drop in price relatively quickly. If it turns out a stinker, like III did (for me), then at least you don't kick yourself as hard.
Besides, clearances always happen once the inevitable AC5 comes around. :P
