Hmm, i sure hope that's not true. The game still needs lots of work.

Grabbed the $29.99 deal.
Gorgeous game so far. Some of the best lighting I've ever seen in a game and definitely the best hair.
I'm not huge on the French setting but it definitely feels like a throwback to Assassin's Creed II with the huge buildings to scale and trying to find a way to do it which is definite plus.
I wish they would tone down the Spider-man climbing but it's still fun.

good lord that pop-in on the previous page looks absolutely ridiculous, even last gen i didn't see pop-in that bad. hell, that wasn't common even in the PS1 days, characters popping RIGHT in front of you as you run.. just wow.
i'm confused, how did that pass QA? the previous games didn't have pop-in nearly that bad. wtf Ubi? the solution is so simple too.. just cut down on the number of NPCs a little bit.

Lol, there was patch in which they said they fixed 90 "LOW REPRO" crashes, wonder how many more are out there.
Various fix
Much change
Numerous fix

Whoa. I never knew this. Haven't played Unity for weeks and usually had my golds on when I did. Tried it out now and the PS4 sounds like it's going to explode.
how long until they come out and say "It's not pop in, that's a part of the game!"
The materialization of the crowd looks like an Animus effect. So they really are trying to pass it off as that, unfortunately.
I like the NPC walking up high, and insta-drops down onto the street.

What pisses me the most is that someone at Ubisoft thought that to download that ridiculous 40gb update I need to insert that useless piece of plastic on my console and start the game.
Why it doesn't update automatically?!

First game I decided to pre order digitally, and greatly regret. I tried to get a refund when I saw other people successful, but I was told I played too much of the game(around 5-6 hours)

You'd think that would be punishment enough

Well that sucks, The only reason I even played it is because I got the Xbox One AC: Unity bundle. Don't think I'll ever play another Assassin's Creed again.
The XB1 not having delta patching is the most baffling oversight.

Xbox One usually does have delta patching from what I've seen. The problem might be with the update that Ubi submitted.
Updates for other games have never been as large as the actual game. At least not for the games I've purchased.
Is this final proof the retail model for some console games is collapsing?

I doubt it. If its true that this game doesn't do delta patching on Xbox One, you'll likely download the game with Patch 4 included.
Delta patching would mean they only have to change the lines of code altered instead of the entire files. If the XB1 has to replace entire files and if this is an extensive patch it would explain why it has 40GB patches.

Hmm, I see what you're getting at.
Halo MCC's patches have never been this big, but they could just be updating small chunks of the data at a time.
If this 40GB patch isn't a mistake, Ubi must have reworked almost the entire game with this one.

Is it just the clouds going across the sun or did they add dynamic day/night cycle? I went into a building tracking down a chest and came back out and it seems like it got darker.
EDIT: It was the clouds.

Hahahahaha! I literally had one mission left until I beat the game and now the patch is 40GB (Xbox One version)? That is nearly the size of the full game!
I have slow internet but unlimited downloads, but damn this will take several days to download.
Oh well I can play through MGS: Ground Zeroes for a bit while I wait.

Too early to tell at this point, we don't even have reports about the effects of the patch on the Xbox One version because of the 40GB download

Damn, didn't even think about how most people's downloads probably aren't even close to done. Hopefully DF has a comparison within a few days.

Ubisoft has running their own brand with such business practices. They really need to take a note from Nintendo. Stop releasing your game in the Alphas stages Ubisoft!

Not supposed to be 40GB. Wonder what went wrong.

Atmosphere simulation does wonders for games without day/night cycles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vKKfgBobg4
Even affects the lighting inside.

It's unfortunate about the XB1 patch, no idea what could have caused that.
The NPC pop and the glitches is part of the A.C. matrix.

Ugh, still got ridiculous pop in. Why can't they just swallow their darn pride and have a plague wipe out a third of the population? I would take 33% less people in the world for a solid 30fps. Running down the street and seeing not only avatars pop in but their clothes change like 3 times.
I have been a faithful AC buyer since the first one. However, it seems that pride really does come before the fall. Rather than make an smooth running game with minimal hitches and bugs, they put out a "look at all the people we can draw!" game and sacrifice gameplay for spectacle. This is not next gen. This is Power Point 2.0

Well, my 40gb X1 patch downloaded. Took hours. My god. X1 downloads are crazy slow. PS4 DL/Updates are always infinitely faster. =/
Anyways, as others have pointed out, the 40gb was us just re-downloading the entire game. So it wasn't more space being taken up. But it's still ridiculous.
