Has anyone reached out to Ubisoft yet?
Have they come out with an official statement regarding this mess of a game?

That sounds pretty expensive on the long run. Trading in games within a week of release to play it again a year later? You bought the game twice.

You mean the color pattern? Yes, it's the one I use.
I also like the traditional white-red-gray pattern, looks like Altair or Ezio.
Speaking of customization, the sans-culotte outfit is really nice, you pretty much look like a civilian rather than a tank, but I hate how the hood has a sock-like part hanging from it, so I just use other hoods.
Bwahahahahaha /deadMade a video with some of the glitches I've been encountering. The one where I jump off the Notre Dame is so typically AC. :lol
This is my favorite, though.
Ass Creed Unity threads always deliver
Aye, i don't understand it, really. Boggles my mind.

The game is fun as hell, and rather visually impressive (Despite the occasional faults).
I really hope the technical stuff gets ironed out, because there's just so much potential for future AC games this gen.

The companion app makes no sense. I'm supposed to have two assassin's, I have one...so I can't do any missions. ACInitiates has no idea that I've played every other game in the series. Uplay is a shitshow. Did they get even one thing right with this release?
Pretty sure that's just references to other games in Abstergo's catalog. I don't think they were intended to be playable.
Devils of the caribbean was one of the suggested names for Abstergo's version of Black Flag. A character mentions it during a pitch meeting.

At the beginning of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNJt3bbKap8 you get to a screen with different sequences, the first sequence is The Tragedy of Jaques De Molay , you hit play and play it, but when you go to the other sequences and hit play it says sequence not unlocked yet. I was talking about that, I bet you can play in their era just like The Tragedy of Jaques De Molay. Are you sure you can't? Did you unlock them to verify? We need confirmations when you unlock them , what happens. I am almost sure The Emperor's shadow one is the one you get via pre-order, the one taking place in China with 2.5D gameplay. Ubisoft tried to get diferent playstyles.

Yeah this was silly, because the player knows he's playing ACU. They tried to do some meta-thingy a la MGS2 but it makes no sense, you know you are playing ACU.
For it to work they would have had to market the whole game as this Helix thing and make the French rev a surprise, but of course that would be impossible.
I guarantee you you can't play those other sequences.

Maybe DLC will unlock some of them but nothing for the base game.

I believe level is tied to your Assassin points / skills. The more skills you buy, the more you rank eventually goes up I think.
Thank you! That was killing me.

Is Co-op not working for anyone else? Getting constant error messages saying that the game fails to connect to Ubisoft servers.

I really liked AC2, it's the only one I was hooked on and played the whole way through, stopped playing ACB because of how bad the FPS was (and it looked so gray/depressing), got bored quick with AC4. But this one I am actually having fun as I did back on AC2 and it looks great (except stuff far away when on roofs). I love the customization. Haven't played coop yet. Missions are so-so, but I always hated missions in AC past AC2. At least stealth works better. But the side content is actually fun, and I used to never do any of it.

So, I'm 6 hours in now (Xbox One version). So far I've found the game fun and engaging, but I guess is too early (I'm already seeing that the side-missions are a bit shallow).
The technical issues, though (i.e., framerate), I already fell they are being blown out of proportion. So far I haven't found a single situation where framerate dropping was so bad that got in my way of enjoying the game (I'm also playing Catherine and Hyrule Warriors currently, which happen to have way more problematic framerate drops, and I don't remember so much buzz about that). Before starting AC:U I had finished putting 20 hours into Bayonetta 2, a 40-60fps game, and I am still fine with this game's framerate. The game looks gorgeous too, with some of the best lighting I've ever seen, tons of details in the environment, even for far away buildings, convincing massive crowds... I'm constantly in awe of how good it looks
God, it must be awful to not be able to enjoy games anymore because of being constantly focused on aliasing/tearing/fps/etc... So happy I'm not one of those guys...

A breathe of fresh air from all the negative comments, thank you. From what I've played of the Xbox 1 it's a bit framey but no way gets in the way of gaming and not as bad as some are making out. I've just got the PC version to test against as thats a 3.8ghz oc Haswell 6core, 32gig ram and 2 gtx 980 GeForce sli new build to test on.

I'm on memory 5 sequence 3 and I'm honestly disapointed in the lack of unique kills for targets after seeing that first brutal one. 
Hope there will be some in the next memories. I'm loving the game so far, coop and story are amazing. So much stuff to do!

It syncs with my game but that's the only thing it does right.

How did you even get it to do that? I have an Ipad sitting right next to my ps4 and it doesn't really seem to work. Like I haven't seen it locate arno at all.
Uplay and Initiates worked for me last night. I have not messed with the companion app, though.

I'm enjoying Arno as a character. Someone I know likened him to Aladdin from the movie.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Are you signed into Uplay on both the app and the game?

You have to sign in to ulay through the app and then the app connects to the uplay service which then connects to the game.
Oh, for sure. But all I have ran into are a few minor dips and a couple of areas where it freezes/stutters for a split second. Other than that, it is playing fine. There is a great game here underneath a few warts. Which can be said for many games that I have enjoyed.

I've been playing for a few days now, and am on sequence 8. I'm enjoying it, and don't feel the same as a lot of those who criticize it.
Is it a masterpiece? No. But it's one of the better AC games, and I like a lot of what they did. However, it's technically flawed.
Anyone else having achievement issues? I never got the one for sequence 6. Read others' complaints on GameFaqs. Would that be Microsoft's issues from yesterday rearing their ugly head or a problem with the game? It shows as..."done...unlocking.."

At the very least, Unity seems like an interesting testing bed for future releases. The next few iterations on this formula ought to be fantastic, looking at the jump from AC1 to AC2, then continued iterative refinement over the next few releases.

This is my favorite, though.

No problems last night, I'm on Android, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Been messing with the app on my phone here at work, running nomad missions and puzzles.

Definitely a return to form and I appreciate the shedding of extraneous management systems. I do wish it was a bit more like ACII where you actually had to go to different shops to buy things. It's a bit weird in Unity where you can just open up the customization menu and buy weapons out of thin air. You still need to go to merchants for consumable items, though.
I just finished the first open-ended assassination mission and it was a lot of fun. Looks like you can tackle it in a variety of ways.
I've never seen anything like this while playing the game... Is it a VRAM issue?

That's a Smith. Be careful Neo.
Yeah but there's like ten other threads talking about this game, you add them all together you've got 100+ pages.
A nice way to say the rage over technical issues has killed a lot of the buzz to actually play the game.
