Yep, happens occasionally when I'm browsing through the outfits. Presumably because it's rendering a lot of detailed outfits over and over in a very short amount of time.

The thought behind it is that there isnt an FPS cap in the menu, causing it to as high as 200fps apparently.
Slightly annoying, as I dont like hearing the fan get that loud.

Thanks! Anyone have anything else to add por favor
I want to hear different opinions from other people as well, besides the hate.After getting past the framerate and pop-in and other issues I started enjoying this immensely. The game is tons of fun. Exploring, solving the riddles, looking for cockades and chests is awesome. I hope they get rid of the performance issues soon and learn from their mistakes.

What in the world? That's so weird if true.
Fun set pieces as well as context for the rift missions.

So is the ps4 frame rate any better?

I really hope they fix this with the next patch.

Check to see if there are requirements.
It says "Play" and "Club Competition"... Dont tell me I have to do some Club bullshit to be able to buy it...
A lot of games do this. Menus kick up the fan the highest in a lot of games because they simply don't cap the framerate. This happens on the PC all the time too, which is easy to see because of programs like fraps. It's not unusual for menus in games to reach the thousands in framerate, which is likely what is happening in Unity and many other games.
Too many stupid social restrictions around in-game stuff. Yellow chest: level up initiate profile. Blue chest: stupid app that doesn't even work. Sweet piece of gear: club competition.
This is fucking worse than the framerates problems.
Seems like I have to do some Club competition, but those competitions arent in the game yet, so I have to fuck myself basically. Its just Ubi being idiots. Unbelievable...

Yea I have no idea what the club stuff is.

Advice for anyone playing this game: if you want your money problems to stop before they even start, just do all the Cafe Theatre missions first, then buy all social clubs in the map. You'll get about 11000F every 20 mins or so

Yes, you make WAY more money later. Too much in fact. There are ways to make 60K in ten minutes as well.

can you platinum without getting all the chests? :\
stupid initiates...
nevermind...i just thought about it...doesn't really make any sense if its the animus. so methinks just an ability related to eagle vision

It's a bit implied that only Arno has this ability, due to his version eagle vision being different from other assassins.

Damn, the more I hear about this game the happier I am that I went with Rouge (cannot resist pirate ships). I might pick this one u in a few months when things are more worked out, but even then I'll go with the XB1 version what with the fan problem I'm hearing on PS4. I don't need a single game killing my system.
I feel like even when they nail the mechanics, the problem becomes that they're not challenging at all. They need to get both.
I feel like the Legendary Ships/Battles in ACIV and Rogue are the only boss fights in the series that REALLY nail what it means to be a good boss.
It's a shame, because they're always building up the antagonist throughout the story, and then give them a Piece of Eden to boot. And it looks really cool visually, but damn if it makes for a disappointing finale.
The only time when this was okay, despite the game mechanics was the first game. Story built to a crescendo and it wasn't offensive because the whole game was repetition anyways. Plus, again, it was the first AC game, it set the foundation for the rest of the main game titles.
George Washington almost had it, but the fight was just a matter of patterns with no real sense of danger. Unity's was just sneaking up behind a dude three times and calling it a day. Awesome POE, but it's just a turret to sneak around. =(
One day they'll get it, I think. But not this year.
If I'm looking at this companion app right, you need to wait 60+ something hours in order to beat the pantheon missions in Uplay app to unlock Altair's costume...
Its a fucking mess. I was somewhat enjoying the game being my first AC, even with the clunky parkour, but if the series stays this way about blocking shit to its players then surely its going to be the last one for me.

hopefully they fix this game up as I was really in the mood for an Assassin's Creed 2 style Assassin's Creed game. And hopefully it gets cheaper by then too.
Yup. I'm on them now and am running into a lot of 12, 24 and 36(!) hour missions. And that's for one mission. Each chest takes 3 missions, and there are 3 chests per node. Depending on the overlap and how often you deploy them it could be 100 to several hundred hours.
other counter based games like mordor and batman at least had some decent boss fights.
Just feel like they could do something.

Almost as bad as having to own the previous 3 Assassins creed games in order to get Connors outfit in Black Flag
They usually have non-combat related fights, at least, not straight up 1vs1.
They usually have a gimmick or a puzzle to beat the boss.

Mine does the same. It's crazy. It gets louder when customizing Arno than any other game I've ever played
The assassinations are the boss fights in AC.
I wouldn't have put the final boss in the same category as any of the previous assassinations. Unity or any of the prior games.
Gotta love these bugs, they're hilarious:

Btw, is there any way to improve the quality of shared videos? I shared this one directly from PS4 and it looks like utter garbage.

Has anyone had this weird visual bug where Arno's limbs stretch out? In the first of the videos it's obviously because of the position I'm in when I open the chest, but the second just seemed to happen randomly whilst climbing.

At first I thought he looked like some sort of strange insect, but then the perfect name occurred to me. He is... Stretch Arnostrong.

Transfering them per USB should give a better quality I guess. At least it does it for the pictures.
On the last sequence and it's so freaking weird how the main story doesn't even use half the map. I thought maybe Dead Kings would be a story campaign that took place in south Paris, but it's getting its own separate map. Just seems really odd, like they didn't know if the bottom half would be done in time.
But the co-op missions and some other sidequests use it, so idk why they didn't use it more
Yeah the final bosses are different I guess.

Just occurred to me how much Microsoft dropped the ball with the marketing compared to Sony, with Sony there were a ton of commercials, ads all over the place etc, seen none of that for Unity besides the console bundle. :/
