I'm pretty sure all the videos popping around depicting this game's flaws (horrible fps, pop in like Dragon's Dogma, janky animations, glitches everywhere, people falling from the sky, the player sunking from Paris straight into the Ash Lake, the now fabled monster mug, and many many more) are nothing but fabrications, montages created to shed negative light on this technical masterpiece. I would blame Monolith. They're probably behind it all, still being salty as fuck at Ubi for having thrown shade at them weeks before release. They're controlling everything from the shadows. This game has zero problems, it's everybody's ps4/x1 that is faulty.
This is AC1 all over again ffs.
Hahaha delicious

is it possible for Unity to get an NPC reduction to improve performance?
it's like microtransactions of enjoyment that we didn't have to pay for to pay for

Somebody needs to give that guy Luigi's death stare. Driving by on air while assassin was looting a dead body? That's rude.

So so good
I almost want to skip work to not miss any of this. But no work, no video games, so that's that.

I played for six hours last night and was extremely disappointed that it isn't the glitchy slide show everyone is saying it is. I only saw two glitches the entire time, and one of them was only because I knew how to trigger it from the video yesterday (i.e. climbing on a stained glass window, despite there being absolutely no reason to climb on it.) Aside from that, I never really noticed any horrendously bad frame rates. The NPC crowds in the streets aren't usually big enough to cause that, I think.
its not just the frame rate.

At first I was annoyed at the shitty state AC U is in but now after all these hilarious posts I am looking forward to playing it. Good Job Gaf.

Fair point. I tried it on PS3 and the frame rate in that game was constantly and consistently "atrocious." Definitely felt like low 20s/high teens most of the time. I'd be surprised if it ever hit 30 in my time playing it.
It'd why I didn't buy the original game and have been waiting over a year for a PC version.
In short, I can totally relate with anyone finding a frame rate that's closer to 20 than 30 unplayable in a 3rd person action game.
GTA runs in a machine with 256 MB of Ram. Just to say.
Because it lacked these extreme bugs, didn't pester you with app accounts before you can loot stuff, and was at the tail end of a console cycle that was ripe with framerate issue games. This generation had been relatively safe in its "at least 30fps all the time" games with rare exception, but this is the biggest game release to have sub-30fps performance this generation, therefore it is worthy of mockery.
LMFAO!
''Why are you staring at me like this?''
This game also is very heavy on climbing buildings, and traversing through crowds. It's about fluid movements (you are an assassin afterall). So the low FPS on this, is much much more game breaking (at least IMO). It ruins the immersion, and just makes playing it awful. For me, it all became clear when I was climbing up a church wall, and as I panned the camera the FPS almost came to a crash. The game was literally chugging and struggling to perform. Every time I would jump to a new ledge or try to move, the game would skip and slow down to an almost stop. Just to get from one point to the other, the game almost died (and keep in mind, I was in a small area and only trying to get across a room).
I'm sorry, but that's unacceptable. If I can't even climb walls and traverse buildings without the game basically crashing to a slow stop, then this game has failed. I can't go back and compare this to GTA V's performance. But I don't remember GTA V ever having that kind of problem with it's performance ruining core gameplay (I do remember GTA having fps issues though).
As others have also said, it's more than the FPS. It's all the bugs/glitches. It's, how pointless all the NPC's are (they look hideous, and they often don't interact correctly). Just so much of this game, feels unfinished and not polished at all. Again, I can't go back 1:1 compare this to GTA V. But GTA V came off as a very polished game (technical limitations aside). Comparing the two games is not even...it just shouldn't be compared at all. I'm not saying that to be mean. I'm saying it as someone that spent $60, and really regrets it.

So most of the glitches are from the PC version yeah? Or is it the same on consoles?
why does the music suit it so well?
Been playing on Ps4 and haven't seen the face glitches and stuff. I fell through the world once though.
I haven't seen any of the face glitches myself on X1. But a lot of the NPCs walking in thin air, falling into the walls. NPC's messing up and not knowing what to do. Objects (like swords not being in place and floating).
I've seen all of that on console. And the worst of it, is just how terrible the fps is. As I said, my game almost came to a crash climbing the interior of a cathedral.
Ohhhhh boyyyyyyy
Nice work Ubisoft, you somehow managed make another big mess with an even bigger team.
People really need to stop buying these games, it just enables them.
Notice how nobody has any concern over whether or not Smash 4 is going to run as well as was shown in all the gameplay we've seen. It's a shame that a big budget company not trying to pull the wool over our eyes is a rarity

The same chapel as I mentioned before: I visited it later during a mission, and the same frame rate problem occurred. It's a mess.
The outside gameplay isn't too bad, imo.
