Assassins Creed: Unity Framerate Is Atrocious

Haha, just imagining you raging at the bewildered shop staff "THE FRAME RATE ON THIS CHEESE IS UNACCEPTABLE!!"

Is anyone really surprised by this?

The soul series is a niche' series by a small developer, people expect more from companies with thousands of developers and tens of millions of dollars of budget per title.

I hope the game bombs, and hard. I don't hate the series, I just hate Ubisoft, their tactics and their bullshit that tag along with the name.

Please journalists. Do your job. Call this game out for its miserable performance and mark it down.
For once, don't let me down journalists!

I didn't like the framerate in those games either. Whats the point? Just because some older games overshot their hardware doesn't make the same practice with current games any more acceptable.
The average person defense is so tiring. The average person also doesn't discuss things on a videogame discussion board. So stifling discussion because they don't care is kind of counter productive, especially to all the above average people who are in here taking issue to the digital shit that ubisoft just dropped.

I guess if the game runs like shit everywhere then that counts as parity... Right?
Don't pre-order video games kids! ESPECIALLY UBISOFT GAMES... ON PC.
Let's all hold hands and say it all together "We will not pre-order Ubisoft games anymore"

I expect FC4 will run much better simply because the embargo for that is up four days before it's release. Unity has launched and I still don't see any reviews.(???) I don't believe I've ever seen that before. Clearly, Ubisoft was trying to hide this mess.

Oh boy. I guess my non-fucked up impressions only apply to the beggining of the game.Oh boy.

Such a pity, so much wasted potential.
it only counts as parity if it runs equally shitty lol
Oh boy.

Yeah, I am thinking the game is going to get panned by some. But I still think I'll have a good time with it when I start this afternoon. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Holy Shit. This is going to be amazing. If the game runs as badly as people say it does, I hope Ubisoft is torn apart.Oh boy.
Guy works for Joystiq.
Sadly I'm part of the problem. Getting it since the SSO Bundle is sold out. But I'm doing it for Master Chief.
I agree. I'm usually against wanting something to fail, but in Ubisofts case they need to wake up and listen to feedback. I love the AC games, but the technical shortcomings are unacceptable.

Ubisoft came out fine after 3, as long as 6 is to par whatever par it is, they'll do fine.

Needs to be lower than 6 and 7 if the reviewers want to be taken seriously. This game should be ripped apart. Hoping for a bomb.
Come on 6's and 7's!

hmm .. is the review embargo for all sites lifting ?
hopefully its not one of those cases where only websites which say good shit are allowed to post reviews early ..

Along with a trail of broken promises, every Ubisoft game has some sort of major problem, usually more than one. Stop giving them money for this shit. Buy a used copy if you must.

who do you trust, fellow gaffers saying the game is good, fellow gaffers saying the game is bad, or game journalists...
tough to say.
tough to say.
My point was that even some of the best games I have ever played have technical problems. Especially when it is a large open world with lots going on. From what I have watched of this, the game is more than playable and actually looks pretty damn good.
Oh boy.
Guy works for Joystiq.
Eh, I guess I should not have pre-ordered...
Yeah, this. If Ubi decided to render 50,000 npcs with the highest detail models possible, they could bring the most powerful pc to its knees. Doesn't mean the PC isn't a beast, it just means they went completely batshit insane and decided it would look even better at 1fps.
The worst part (to me) is the allocations that went towards rendering such a ridiculous amount of people on screen could've been used more productively somewhere else to create more immersion.
I remember first seeing the screens with the crowds and thinking 'so, what?' - I really didn't think they added to the game. After playing it, it's sad that their over-ambition went towards something that wasn't entirely necessary or could've at least been reduced.

The game is out, Ubisoft can't control shit anymore as soon as the embargo lifts.

Nah, no reviews are up now. Embargo for 12 PM on launch is pretty awful.

Gaming Press reviews summary: "This game is a technical disaster that destroys immersion with frequent fits of frustration."
Metacritic Score: 92*
*Lets hope this doesn't happen, but somehow I can see this game scoring consistently high even if its the same bland bullshit in every other AC game with the added joy of performance issues galore.

trust yourself. if you are like godelsmetric and have a history of gleefully enjoying games that are 15-20fps and it never was any skin off your back, congrats: you can still love it.
Also have to deal with epic pop-in, of course. And endless glitches. And 900p resolution. But whatevs, I sorta figure if you're the type of person to be OK with 20-25fps consistent drops, that's probably a non-issue as well

Well, that's a 60 buck lesson learned. Last game I preorder.

How was the E3 demo we saw in terms of pop-in? Was it doctored? Don't remember seeing those issues back then.

Well this looks like it's going to be fun... Never EVER a good sign when reviewers are embargoed till release day (or worse, aren't even given a copy to review till release day).

I learned that from Sim City. Never pre-ordering AAA games again.
this is Ubisoft. of Watch Dogs fame. They are certainly not above falsifying any gameplay videos

It's so obvious why they did this embargo. Unbelivable.
There is another problem. The majority of people who will buy this game dont know this problem at all

That's not fair.
They rightfully called out both Destiny and Driveclub, and I expect them to do the same with Unity if all these impressions are any indication.

the fuck are you people pre ordering for
dont do that

I just bought this and COD (and Halo which I'm returning... I don't even own an xb1) for $40 each. Being a freshly minted BB Gamers Club member I plan to play this, sell it to BB for a profit and pick up GTA V next week.. so 3 games for approx $83. Plus that gets me $10 off my next game at BB AND I will have whatever trade in value I have for both COD and GTA V to put toward future purchases.
Also I'm a little perturbed at all this MOB mentality going on. Most people who are asking for blood haven't even played the game. I'll make my own decision.
