Yeah listen to Enosh, man. If I bought all of my games based on what GAF says I'd have Bayonetta 2 and nothing else.

Watch streams. This is an ugly game with boring slow combat.
AC4 was a good game, this isnt.

Cancelled my order a few hours ago. Got tired of waiting and I don't want to support this game anyway.

Just finished my first co-op mission. It's pretty much what I envisioned multiplayer in AC to be. Had a blast.
Few gameplay issues: I miss using human shields. The camera makes it hard to dodge gunfire without it. Stealth is also hit and miss. Guards can still spot you from too far away. I was hoping the RPG element additions would be better and allow for more stealthy options and abilities, but they're kind of disappointing.

PC ports were never garbage. Theirs high end settings were unoptimized and it was hard to reach stable 60fps, but they were never garbage. They always were better than console counterparts.

Welp, game crashed and now whenever I try to load my save up, it crashes again. Fucking hell. I was like 6-7 hours in.
Edit: Sounds like it's sort of widespread. Thread about it at Ubi forums.

6-7 hours in a single session? If not it may have uploaded a save to the cloud in between sessions..?

Nothing so far, found this topic on their forums and have submitted a ticket. There are a lot of negative reviews on the app coming in saying they lost everything as well when they connected it to their system. I tried doing the glyph puzzle again just to see what would happen and it unlocked the first mission like usual but it says I have no assassins so I am unable to do the mission.

I agree with that, you could say they're not "optimized" for 60fps.

Wow this game is really unattractive. Running with High settings on a GTX 970. Not noticing any sort of framerate problem, but there is a large amount of texture flickering and pop-in, coupled with a low draw distance. Flat textures and lighting round it out.
Still giving the game a shot though... only like 45 minutes in.

I don't have a device that does apps. Does that mean I can never 100% this game? Or can I somehow get those blue chests another way (e.g., normal internet)?

No, total. I found the save folder, there's two files in there. Does it keep multiple saves or something? I thought it worked like Steam and just overwrites after each session.
Fair enough, I'll give the PC version a shot.

So is there a way to replay Sequences? If so, from the MAIN menu, how? I'm reading you can but I see no options indicating that's true. Fucking can't believe this.
KillerDark

You're welcome! Yea I hope they fix this quickly. I got to play a bit of Unity over lunch and found a chest that said it required the companion app but when I went to it in the app it wouldn't let me do anything with it. Not sure if thats because I am still just in the tutorial on Unity or if its because I have no assassins in the app thanks to this bug (really hoping for the former but no idea)...

Pause the game. Go to progress tracker. Select mission. Done.

Not in game. I can't load my save, it crashes the game. Was trying to see if I could at least start from Sequence 4 but alas, seems like they only allow that from within the save.

The first Assassin's Creed had issues on PC, but ACII and beyond has been pretty solid. Definitely hard to get a stable 60fps, but calling them garbage ports is completely out of line.
Don't let anyone else make your decisions for you.
Definitely don't let people make you seem like you're part of the problem because you enjoy something.

Does anyone know how long does it take to get through the game? I just finished reading Destructoid review but they don't mention that bit.

It sure as hell isn't ugly on PC. Other than a bit of pop-in, it looks incredible and runs just fine on my system. Obviously this is subjective, but I'm consistently impressed by the visuals.
I'm not far into the game yet, but I already like it's take on combat more than the ACIII series. "Press button to win" slaughter-fests don't appeal to me. Sure, they're flashy and fun to watch, but it's barely any kind of interaction. It's the same reason why Mordor's combat bored the hell out of me.

Wish we could hide certain hud elements until we're in combat.
Still loving this. Can't shake the feeling of "darn, love to be back at playing something like the Ezio games".
Pop-in is noticeable when I look for it, but not as bad as some videos I've seen or like videos were people actually stop and go back and forth just to see the pop-in.
Granted, AC games are always a "ymmv" kind of thing when it comes to problems. I mean, someone posted a pic of the intro sequence and a character without a face which many quote and laugh at, but that's not the norm. In previous games I remember seeing simar glitches, yet no problems. Even got all feathers and everything on ACII back then. XD
Digital version here and no problems at the moment. Wonder if others with the digital version have similar experiences? Maybe the retail releases are more prompt to slowdowns and bugs because it installs as you play?
Who knows. Maybe mine will crash when I post this.

play it! if you're a fan I'm sure you'll find it enjoyable. I'm planning on playing it (going to go through ACIV first and home some patches come to fix some issues) and probably will love it. I've plaid plenty of games gaf says are unplayable to travesties and affronts to gaming.
ACIII was supposed to be unplayable with glitches galore. I never found one and enjoyed my time (well I still think it was a weak game but that was the design choices not performance.)
ok good. I really can't stand their stupid accents. I need to get back to learning french so maybe this will spur me!

This is me, basically. Love the game, the issues are noticeable but I don't curr. Lol. However, I can see why some people do. I just watched some NPCs ~rise~ out from the dirt and go about their day haha. It just made me laugh, but I can also see others not getting a kick out of it like I do.
There's a great game here but it has issues which some, like me, don't care about, but others obviously do.
One thing they REALLY needed though, with the crowds, is the Gentle Push button back. It's been gone a while, but man they need it with the crowds.

I'm not even a fan, but I do like the game. Yes the performance isn't so great, and there are stupid microtransaction chests around, but I'm trying to focus on the core content and it's fine.

I'm playing through the game. And wow, people who're calling this game ugly must find a shitload of games to be ugly. Cause it's gorgeous on my ps4. Screens and even the least compressed youtube videos don't do it justice. Looks beautiful on my ps4. Parkour took a bit to get used too. Feels a lot more realistic and weighty. Way less room for error if you know what you're doing, combat does indeed feel better and harder but I've only just seen the logo of the game so it remains to be seen how it feels throughout the game and with other weapons. Great acting and music btw.

It's the latter unfortunately. My points returned once I got further into the game and out of the tutorial. Still no assassins in the app apparently and so no progress can be made

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Okay framerate aside... this is a pretty awesome game.
The one major complaint as far as gameplay is a delay getting out of cover. It's honestly quite annoying. The cover system is bare-bones, but I appreciate finally having some sneaking there at all. And really it'd work well enough if they could just make getting out of cover a bit snappier.
I love the addition of controlled decent. I wish it would give you more control over the camera, and not always flip it around, but it's so refreshing to freerun holding O and know your assassin isn't going to sprint up some fucking wall at any possible moment.
Too bad about this framerate though.
