This isn't a bug, its a feature. The player desynced from the animus and crazy shit happened. Read up on the lore people gosh.
I blame microsoft, they rushed Ubi
remember they had a deal with Ubi this time, Ubi could had delay this
they did for watchdogs...already had a back up plan B with Rogue anyways.

Oh man. Where was this news when Microsoft was like "the cloud, the cloud!" I'd have loved to been a fly on the wall when this little tidbit came under the nose of some exec. "Unplug to improve performance." hahaha.

My buddy just moved to Ubi Montreal and got a job coding on the Assassin's Creed team. He only got there like a week ago, but I'm hoping that I'll hear some juicy tidbits from him on how the Unity team is reacting. I imagine it's a pretty interesting climate there at the moment.
What was that saying? "Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction?"

How do you check which version of the game you have?
I have Steam + UPlay.

I have PS4 and it def runs better. I no longer feel like I'm trudging through mud. Its not perfect at all, enough that they dont claim fps improvements in the parch notes. I didnt know I dled a patch, but I checked after the game "felt" better.
Maybe its staying in the 20s now instead of dippings into the teens.

Saw some major losses of frames at the end of the prologue. Game still looks enjoyable though.

I don't think pre-delay Watch Dogs was that much worse than this, but with all the money riding on Unity there was zero chance of a delay. That statement about how they'd delay it if it "wasn't good enough" was complete and utter bullshit. In no universe is this the state ubisoft Montreal wanted the game in for release. The call to stick to this launch very clearly came from the top.
I dont get why people are hating on the framerate. I have the following system
i7 920 oc to 3.4 ghz.
gtx 770 sc 4gb
12 gig ram.
The game mostly runs at 45-30 fps with very very few times dropping to 26-28. Ever since the patch today cut scenes run a lot better as well.
If people are expecting 60 fps maxed settings in this game they are insane. This may be the prettiest game i have ever played. At times it looks like concept art. The variations in the texture detail and environments is astounding.

This topic is about the console versions though, which apparently don't even run close to 30fps a lot of the time. And to think Ubi said 1080/60fps back at the begining lol.
You don't get it why people want steady fps? That's weird.
Hahaha omgthey should add a character creator..

He lives in his PC world where his frame rate is decent enough but refuses to realize that console users are getting frame rates below 25 on a constant basis.

I think this review was written by the same guy who thought the human eye couldn't distinguish between 30 and 60fps.

I was playing Sequences 3, 4, and 5 yesterday. Framerate seemed improved, weirdly enough?
The new parkour system is really good. I love dashing across the rooftops and looking at the crowds below, or just wandering through the crowds. Very atmospheric.

Did Ubisoft never mention that there were going to be micro/macro transactions in the game?
Because I wonder if that's the case, is there any ground for asking a refund? You purchased a game, of which you are not able to access everything off. It's like buying a hamburger and only getting 2 buns.

It's good at times, but really, horribly awful at others. Your character is more automated then ever, and when the automation fails you (and it will fail you) it will make you want to smash your monitor and flip a table over.

I played the first mission as an assassin, the one where you
and the framerate was so bad that it made smoothly parkouring borderline impossible. Weirdly though, the few missions I did after that seemed relatively smooth.
Totally inconsistent...
follow that guy across rooftops

Is it because of AI or is it cloth simulations etc.?

I started playing after 1.02 patch on PS4 and it doesn't seem so bad to me. That could be because of the patch or maybe just because I was expecting the game to beabout the worst thing ever. But anyway it's not perfect but it plays well enough. Loading times are horrendous though.

Why do the npcs speak French and the main characters English with British accents.
Dreadful.
Dreadful.
Is cloth simulation done on the CPU?
Wait for another patch. For now it runs around itself quite bored. I can't believe someone continues to substain 10 % of overclocked cpu can handle 4 - 8 fps of advantage in the crowd. This is just a rushed launch.

I played the Xbox One version for a couple of hours and it seemed alright to me - the framerate I mean. There was one point where I was running across some rooftops and it dropped to maybe 15 FPS and I thought "uh oh, here we go" but it only lasted for about 3 or 4 seconds and hasn't happened again. The only issues I've seen are related to pop in, but even that isn't too bad. Some people have been dealing with some more serious bugs, as evidenced by some of the posts in this thread, but so far it's been pretty good for me.
The thing I don't like is stuff such as not being able to open certain chests unless you use the companion app. Don't force that shit on me. Just make the companion app great and I'll take a look at it anyway.

I think it is mostly the fact that they are interactive, IE you can throw some bomb on the ground and they all start running and fightning and doing stuff...they aren't just completely empty shells like the crowds were in Hitman games.
