I don't entirely agree. Sure, Watch_Dogs definitely had its faults in terms of design, but in regards to it being a product -- it was definitely a solid and stable game. For ACU, they just decided to release a game that was clearly unfinished and needed much more work. Which they clearly had the wisdom to not do with Watch_Dogs.
Here we go.

I bet this game will do alright honestly.
It would be entertaining if I'm wrong.

Sub 7.0, I'm guessing.
6.5-6.9 from a couple of major sites.
8.0 from Polygon cause it's a MS marketed game.

This. The real crime of AC3 was that the sons of bitches never bothered to fix it with patches down the road. Releasing an unfinished buggy game and eventually patching it is one thing. Releasing an unfinished buggy game and just leaving it that way for all time, that deserves some kind of punishment.
You guys are really feeling it!
Not interested in AssCreed, but from the looks of it it's gonna be entertaining around here...*grabs chips because no pop corns*
Same here! *high five and tons of popcorn drops damn hahah*

these gifs scare the shit outta me
Would be right in my opinion.
Sorry to spoil your fun with a positive review, I know here on GAF I should not say anything positive about a Ubisoft title. But anyway, I actually enjoyed the game quite a lot, it has problems (especially the terrible terrible loading times) but damn it's absolutely breathtaking to look at and the gameplay is better than any other AC game before (I mean the core AC gameplay, not the naval stuff from BF of course). I played it on Xbox One and the framerate wasn't locked for sure (dipped to 25 when it got very busy), but it stayed playable at all times and there was no tearing.
Not perfect certainly, but I enjoyed almost every minute of it (outside of that bloody black loading screen...).
As usual, full text on the French version of the site, only the conclusion and + - in English, and many videos from both the X1 and PC version (though 30 fps as our PC guy is still dling the game):

Gonna go with 65 after the Sterling and Joystiq comments.
Edit: But then Blimblim says it only drops to 25fps on Xbox One. That's not end of the world at all.

Here is my video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4UlwCgK_jQ&feature=youtu.be
Written will go up soon over on ztgd.com. Score wise 7.5. It's fun, lots of content, but a tech MESS!

This is the first time on GAF for a very long time where I am constantly refreshing this thread.

This garbage better not get more than a 70 metascore, and that's being generous.

Seems like Ubisoft did a decent job with Black Flag (even if it's not a game I'm interested in).
So why does it seem like they rushed Unity out the door? Is their release cadence so toxic that they can't delay a game when it's obviously not done?

No interest whatsoever in this game but I'm just f5 this thread and the other for the gaf memes and meltdowns. So much popcorn in here
First review that broke embargo:

8.8/10
Ubisoft set out to re-create the series with Assassin's Creed: Unity and they've managed it with flying colours.
A rich story with an impressive amount of content coupled with some of the best visuals on display thus far make Assassin's Creed: Unity a must buy for any fan of the series, or just the open-world genre in general.
It has its shortcoming, thought they're few and far between, enough so that they're almost negligible.

Ya its a mess man. Its a stone cold unadaulterated mess. It can run fine for an hour or so and you can think "wow this isn't bad" but then it completely breaks down for no reason. Its like it has random memory leaks and crap. I have some footage in the review where I have zoomed in on the randomcrazy shit.
So if you don't like my review style turn off the sound and wait. There is magic, randomly changing hats, and a levitating cobbler or 3.
Too busy making next year AC.
that's really unpleasant coming from you Blimblim. I have a lot of respect for you and you're better than that. It has nothing to do with saying positive things about Ubisoft and everything to do with receiving a glitch filled game with horrendous pop in, 900p resolution and a framerate that is almost always sub-30. Unacceptable.
Wohohohoah....
