good download speeds, looks like they finally got some of the basics covered
Damn, I'm getting 2 megs/sec max with Capsule. Shitty program.
If you didn´t like AC 1 then you might actually like this one, because it has nothing to do with Assassin Creed.
It feels more like a pirate version of Farcry then anything else.

for someone who hasnt played the series since the first, is this game legit good? no bullshit. i admit i really like the Caribbean setting in this though.

if gmg gave you a key just put it into uplay, it should take it and know what edition it is etc. always hated capsule, its terrible
You should be able to activate your key on Uplay and download the game there instead.
Worked for me with AC3 from GMG.

Yay, just got my Uplay key. Didn't know it was released today. Can't believe Ubisoft actually honored that purchase. Probably need a new computer for Watch Dogs though.

I'll do it like that, then, though Capsule has almost finished by now. Can I simply move the install?
Just caved to the season pass via amazon for the free $5. PS4 version. Also they released a new PS4 patch, I think this one fixes the 1080p issue? It doesn't specifically say that in the patch notes but it does mention graphical issues.
Looking forward to some PS4/PC comparisons

Looking forward to jumping into this game.
I actually read through that. I love how nvidia does those. The comparisons are helpful.
I don't recall the graphics options in AC3, but was SGSSAA possible via the inspector?
I'd also love to know what AA was used in this shot in conjuction with 4K (it's from the tweak guide). The textures don't appear to have suffered from any blurring and yet the AA is perfect.

You can activate your key on UPlay client and download game from UPlay as far as i know
If you like pirates and Farcry then yes this game is a must buy.
This might work, but I don't know (never tried). But you could just start the uplay download to a separate folder and compare if they they are the same.

That's it for me until a patch that improves optimization; it's a damn slideshow on the lowest settings. No idea what I'm doing wrong here, but my god. Even AC3 on high runs at a solid 40 on my laptop.

With the 1080p patch out I'm considering this to be my second pickup alongside Killzone when I finally get my hands on a PS4. Few questions tho:
1.Can I jump in safe even if this is my first AC game. I kinda know some things about the plot like
Anyhoo I do ''care'' about the plot if I play it but the biggest deal would be if it is overly convoluted if I just jump in now. Not feeling like playing all the previous ones tbh.
2.I trust this game is not total shit like AC3 seems to be from the huge backlash. I'm not expecting GOTY material but just some fun launch game title. Killzone is enough to fill the shooter need and I can't stand racing or sports so I guess that pretty much eliminates all but AC4, Knack and Lego
1.Can I jump in safe even if this is my first AC game. I kinda know some things about the plot like
Some dudes from the present time (future?) mindjack themselves or some shit to the past and fight templars. Pope was the big baddie in AC2, the guy from the present time is dead nowdays I guess?

Here's the PS4 impression:
http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/0klgp2/assassin-s-creed-iv--black-flag-ps4-impressions
Basically, the video shows enhanced water, smoke, and environment tech to name a few new things.
These impressions make me want to skip the PS3 version and wait a year to play this game.

Looks like Capsule is installing it to the Ubisoft folder, so who knows. I'll check it out.
EDIT: Fuck this, GMG should've sent my key earlier. I'll just redownload it, only takes twenty minutes this time. Tossing this Capsule crap in the trash.

Just now apparently. There is a thread in the first page.

FYI, be wary of Assassin's Contracts missions bugging out on you. There's a 33 page thread on Ubisofts forum and the PS4 bugs are starting to crop up so it isn't just to a certain platform and most likely will affect the PC version too. They are supposedly working on a fix, not sure what it would be as it's different missions for different people, not just one, and the actual 'bug' varies (the Kill marker not disappearing, not being able to accept the contract - not showing, person 'flee'd' and never came back, etc ... ).
I saw a couple posts in this thread also having some issues.

1. Yeah, this is the most unrelated game to the main story they've released. You won't full appreciate some of the stuff you discover in the "real" world but that stuff is entirely optional so you'll be fine.
2. I hated AC3 and love AC4. It's a great game not just a "launch game."

well its like 3 i think so its a bit different. no more guard all day. now its just a counter button (where after the parry happens you can choose between grab, stab, shoot).
still mostly the same though.

probably similar framerates, but who knows after some drivers and updates.
probably still go pc though because you can find nvidia promo codes on ebay for pretty damn cheap vs $60 on ps4.

Not great.
I knew it. We got so burned on AC3 on the PC.
Very happy I sprung for the PS4 SKU now.

This is probably what you get when a significant number of people moaned about conner, who was flawed, made mistakes and wasn't an invincible superhero despite training for most of his adult life.

Yeah, performance isn't great, but it runs fine. I think I'm averaging 30 fps, but I don't know for sure.
Wish my 1080p tv was at home, though, I'm stuck playing on an old HD ready TV for now.
