And why would I want them?
Any word on why Jim Sterling didn't review it regarding that tweet he sent out? That's what I'm really looking forward to reading lol

Kotaku review says the game has uninteresting missions and the same tired gameplay with little changes/improvements

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Thank god. Ubisoft needed a wake up call, and here it is.

Eurogamer has said there are framerate problems with the PS4 version
Have decided to give this a miss. Too many games out this month, think I will wait for FC4 and Dragon Age.'Despite starting from such a well-established foundation, however, Unity does not feel finished. Technical hiccups abounded during my time with Ubisoft's trip through Revolution-era France – hiccups that ran the gamut from mundane and distracting to annoying and game-breaking.'
'Rapid descents along the faces of buildings would sometimes send me clipping through structures, leave me floating in mid-air, or drop me through the bottom of the world into a hellish abyss of white. NPCs appeared to float in mid-air while others wielded invisible weapons. Twice, Unity crashed entirely, requiring a full restart of the software. In one mission, restarting from a checkpoint inspired in protagonist Arno Dorian the philosophy of pacifism, as he refused to attack the soldiers cutting him to shreds - which is to say that although I had my weapon drawn, I could not target or attack any enemies, and I had to let myself die in order to try again.
Another Joystiq editor, playing on PS4, encountered similar bugs. On Xbox One however, these issues were exacerbated by a framerate with less structural integrity than the crumbling roofs of Paris. Whether I ran through the crowded streets or shambled along the rooftops, noticeable drops in framerate almost constantly distracted from the experience.'
That's quite a large chunk dedicated to performance, and the score reflects it. Excellent.

This is good to know, on a scale of AC3 to AC BF where'd you put it?

7's pretty decent no?
Polygon's score is usually a lot lower. Their score probably still resonates from the female animation debacle.

Crossing Eden are you okay? Post if you are okay

I love Pokken!
Wow Kotaku.
Much graphic, such animation, wow.
There were people wanting the game to get bad scores before they even played to game to know it is bad. Why do people play this game you know what I'm talking about.

Alex Navarro just said the worst thing he possibly could, hahaha.
"It reminds me of AC3 but with more technical problems."

It is a 'bomba' game if you created Black Flag and its successor fails in every single regard.
Ubisoft, with all their talk about how ''next-gen'' this game is, absolutely deserves these 6's and 7's.

Yes but importantly it's filled to the brim with 1000's of NPCs. That's the main thing.

Playstation Lifestyle gave it a 100???
I know we all like to rag on Kotaku, but I actually like how they "review" games now. One thing that really caught my eye was the "What I played" section. It's a nice addition.
(although i realize this probably isn't that new, since they changed to the yes and no thing a while ago)

Game reviewers are too spineless to score it below a 7.

Are you new to game reviews? A big budget game like this will never score below 7.

Well, that's good, then. Glad the core is actually good. I'll just sit this out until the inevitable patches hit.
Wow Kotaku.
This exacly what I thought about the game from previews and trailers. It's the same old shit.
I don't know if I agree with that. It reminds me of AC2 but with more technical problems, honestly. It is much closer to the Ezio trilogy than the Kenway trilogy in terms of feel, design and story. The similarities are mainly technical failings, and ACU is much worse.
Jesus... Looks like I might be the only person that actually really liked it! http://nextgengamingblog.com/blog/assassins-creed-unity-review/

This game was sent to die. Ubisoft Management is shit.
You know something's wrong when Biogamer Girl's score isn't a 9+.

Giggling at the videogamer quote in the OP that blames the console for not running the game.

Yes, Destiny type reviews. So good.
I felt bad I saw a pre-order of the $100 edition. That poor fool...

You say that but I bet the game still sells at least 4 million.
