Yeah, you're right. I spoke too soon. It might actually turn out well. Impressions are probably the best thing to wait for. Hopefully the game does well on PC as well
false.
Ubisoft Kiev? *googles*
Oh these are the fuckers that are responsible for Trials Fusion on PC? Yeah fuck those guys.
Laugh all you want, but stop living like a moron. PC-games as consumers have to face extremely bothersome and tiresome obstacles, issues and whatnot on a regular basis. There's no denying that. From time to time some splendid ports or games with the PC as a main platform appear, but honestly you're most of the time left on your own trying to tweak and fix a lot of games just to get them running ok/and/or with an acceptable performance.
Be it driver related issues, OS issues, hardware configuration issues there pretty much always something wrong. It's wonderful when it works, but compare it to using a console in which you just pop in a disc and start playing right away.

Not exactly demanding games that can cause issues lol
Except reports on all versions that prove otherwise.
False in what way? You and I must have a different definition of "broken" then. The state in which all three versions of Unity shipped was unacceptable. They were all loaded with bugs and SEVERE performance issues. I mean, Unity on PS4 might just run with the lowest average frame-rate of any game available on the system yet.
nope, just critically acclaimed and awesome.

FC3 was PC lead if I remember correctly.

I usually stick with just this. Additional specifications are superfluous.
Bring what on? I don't get it....... I have two 970s and a highly overclocked i7 3820 but that doesn't mean I want broken games that I have to brute force my way into playability...
Nothing special here. Publishers usually provide only one version of a game in review-events.
PC Gamer wants to check the performance of the game in light of Ubisoft's past output and thus they are waiting until they can get a PC copy.
You could just as well title this topic as 'Far Cry 4 XB1 reviews delayed until release' because reviewers didn't get their hands on it. The difference is that console versions are treated as interchangeable so it doesn't matter. (Although considering how this gen started, maybe it should).

I have a lot more faith in this than ACU. Still weary about the embargo though.
How is it a big 'fuck you' to you if you already pre-ordered? :/
What does getting a review today or on Monday matter to you?

Oh boy.
Edit: Glad I'm getting it free.

Far Cry 3 was my game of the generation and FC4 is my most anticipated game. I'm also happy that reviews agree with me and don't consider Far Cry garbage

Wow, Ubisoft, you can fuck right off.
Too even think I was remotely excited about a game this company made.

I liked FC3 to some extent, but from what we've seen so far FC4 blows part 3 out of the water.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
I'm getting it free due to my GTX970 purchase, but yeah I would never buy this day one without reviews and opinions first. It's almost guaranteed to have serious issues.

I don't even buy Ubisoft games anymore.
No, this is just ridiculous.
Pre-ordering is dangerous from a consumer perspective. Be wary of pre-ordering for your *own* sake.
broken means unplayable. if you wanna be hyperbolic though feel free.

Agreed, but haven't tried Valiant Hearts yet.

games that crash and where you get stuck in objects and fall through the world are pretty much unplayable
This guy gets it.
Ubisoft is shitting on the cheapest and what should naturally be the best way to play the game, so we should reward them by buying the game on a closed platform so as to be sure they get the message, and whatever incentives from co-marketing deals.
Unplayable is usually used as a subjective term.
What one person finds unplayable may be different for somebody else.

Unity is pretty unplayable at times, due to gamebreaking bugs, and tons of crashes.

Oh dear. I never planned on buying it anyway, but Ubisoft is screwing up left and right lately.
crazy how so many reviewers were even able to complete a playthrough.
Why are you guys automatically assuming this means the PC version is shit?
I swear 9 times out of 10 when people freak about some 'potential' bad news about a PC version, it turns out to be no big issue.
Lets wait and see before deciding that the port is shit and isn't worth buying.

I'm telling you guys, #NO-MORE-PREORDERS
Send a message that a release day embargo on review code is simply not acceptable. Especially after AC:Unity shipped in the state that it is in. Wait, make sure it's a well reviewed and playable game.

Let me just address the last bit of your post: I could just as well just say "fuck it" and "pop in" the game and start playing right away for a near identical or identical console experience if I didn't want to go the extra mile. It is indeed wonderful when it works, and it works most of the time. I just want it to work flawlessly.
stop being ignorant. they were obviously payed off.

I don't know why your defending this. The way Unity shipped in should be unacceptable, and any other company that doesn't have boatloads of money would have be rightfully crucified for it.
