Hahaha, no! You should be able to! I have no idea why this particular post was so compelling..
Posted this tweet earlier today. Got maybe 15 retweets after half an hour. Went to the store and when I returned home, it suddenly had 500. Now it's 1000+ :lol
Oh man :lol

That right there is the best one yet!
Yeah it's weird that AC1 seemed to have better crowd interaction.

Seems to me it's more like they changed it so you don't have to push a button anymore, you just automatically squeeze by NPCs. Unless I'm running, then I'll collide with them.
Pretty much. I love the game. Everything reminds me of ACII and I play with a grin in my face because of that. (Note: I was hugely disappointed with the first AC game, so ignored II at launch. Ended receiving it as a gift)
Heck, I was ready to skip Unity after III and IV been such a letdown (and the strong focus on naval battles).
So far, I haven't encountered any glitches, problems or noticeable/horrible pop-in. That doesn't excuse the problems, neither implies the game's perfect. Just that so far, my experience has been positive. That Ubisoft needs to get off their high horse and do something is a no-brainer.
Playing on a 24" PlayStation 3D Display. So, quoting this...just because:

Goddamn doing the co-op missions alone is hard as hell. Also the heists give out a shit ton of money. During my first heist, which was a perfect run btw, also in a gorgeous castle, I got like 17K. Geez.

IGN says it seems like heists are pretty much the only way you'll efficiently get the best clothing.

I must be going crazy; I swear it seems like the framerate on PS4 has gotten better. I'm on Sequence 6, actually I'm doing the last upgrade mission for the Theater, and the game seems to be running at 30fps most of the time now. Even the controls feel slighted more responsive. Maybe I'm imagining things; I also haven't ran through a mob of hundreds in a minute either. Gonna test that out and see what's going on.

Paris Stories also give out some good income, although nothing compared to the heists. Haven't even progressed through the story today. Just did some side content. Loving the mission design and huge scale of the buildings.
The game generally runs better if you stay on the rooftops. And especially runs well inside and during stealth missions.

A Reddit post inspired me to make this cover, as well as this wonderful glitchy screenshot.

Unity is really glitchy

I finally got the Companion App to work; I needed to connect to Wi-Fi, apparently. Now, I've just got to figure out these Nomad missions. The app is a nice idea, but it seems a bit, I don't know, convoluted.
I played for 2 hours today, but I didn't get any of the story completed. I found myself wandering the streets of Paris doing some of the side missions, but mostly I was trying to gracefully master the descend.
Here are a few screenshots:

Hey has anyone had any problems with their map disappearing? I just fast traveled and now it looks like this:
I had most of the viewpoints synchronized but now there is only one area displayed. I can no longer find any mission icons and I'm basically stuck. Resetting the game did not help. Does anyone know of this issue or possibly a fix?

Pretty sure that you're now in Versailles. Which is a small map from the prologue of the game. One of the fast travel icons leads back to Paris.Hey has anyone had any problems with their map disappearing? I just fast traveled and now it looks like this:

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
It's way better.
Pro tip: If you're hanging on something and you want to "round the corner" instead of move laterally hold L2.
Oh wow thanks! Thought I was screwed lol

Very torn on this game. Have brought every AC game since the beginning (except for revelations), and finished and loved all of them in there own special way.
This really looks like the best looking game on the ps4/xbox and ac2 is still by far my favorite assassins game, this gives off a huge ac2 vibe .
I am really hoping they can patch in performance improvements as its the only thing stopping me from jumping in. I can live with weird citizen behavior and even popin to an extent. Every AC game has been janky in that regard.
The french setting doesn't even appeal to me much but something about ac games always pulls me in.

- How Different Is the combat?
- Do all the weapon types actually mean anything ingame?
- Do we have ac2 style tombs?
- Do we have properties e.t.c to buy and upgrade like ac2 ?

Still haven't seen it posted. Any clubs on X1? If not I guess I could start one for grins.
EDIT seeing as GAF, NGF are already in use I assume there are some but search doesn't find them at all. Broke ass game lol.
Anyway created one under NGAF tag. Search if anyone is interested.

1. Combat feels more realistic, you're not a kill bot any longer. You can still do streaks, parries, etc but getting hit actually matters. I'm just at the beginning so this may change.
2. I haven't played around with the weapons yet.
3. I'm not sure about the tombs. They have rifts which are similar but I only played one.
4. You can buy property and renovate it forsee income. I don't recall how it was in ac2 but it reminds me of revelations?

Okay then...
I woke up this morning, and found that AC:U hadn't fully downloaded quite yet. I'm at like, 80%. That's okay, since I can apparrently play while downloading! Hey, that's cool, actually!
I boot it up, play through the prologue, play with my settings to get things nice and smooth, finish the prologue, and...
The fact that this is here is not the issue.
The fact that I can't DO ANYTHING is.
I can't go back to the menu, I can't go play the prologue again, I can't quit the game, change settings, nothing.
Only thing I can do is Alt+F4.
Dude. Ubisoft. I know it's a "temporary" thing, but jeez, at least give me a "Back to title screen/quit" button!

Is it stuck there? Doesn't seem normal. I know on console it installs while you play, but don't you have an option to just install it all?

Well, spoke too soon. Frame drops are back, indoors no less. Funny because I ran through a large crowd and things stayed smooth just prior. So much for that. : |

I will confess....
So this game is without a doubt a technical disaster - in so many ways. But I am enjoying some of the mission design. The more focused assassinations are really fun. The murder mysteries are great side missions. Even the rifts create some cool and different scenarios that I like. There are some good ideas here....

just started exploring the top part of the map. wanna say I'm in Sequence 4.
anyway, that area seems to run a little better. still not great tho.
the performance really is a shame. the free-running is so great when things are running smoothly.

Other than a little slow down in the one chapel at the beginning. I have to say I am really enjoying the game so far. It feels like a return to Achieve 2 and Brotherhood. Which were my favorites. The game is beautiful on the PS4. The environment is excellent and the number of Npcs really add to the experience. The added activities like the Murder Mysteries are a welcome addition. While I do not like Micro transactions, it seems that these are only time savers, which I will just ignore.
My biggest gripe so far is the android app. I think they could have just left the assassins mini game in the menus or made it accessible through the headquarters like in previous games. Then used the app as a alternative way to play while away from the game.

Code?
The game is great, unfortunately it was released in an unfinished state with significant frame rate problems and bugs/glitches.
Hopefully Ubisoft can fix their shit together even if they have to ask Sony and Microsoft to help.
The fact the the day one patch was released even earlier than scheduled makes me confident that there will be more updates relatively soon.

My favorite part so far. And it's the most stable part too. Didn't notice any dips in fps.

Been playing for about three hours now.
"New", next generation Assassin's Creed, rebuilt from the ground up, as they say. Well, it sure feels like the same old shite. The design doesn't appear to have moved on at all. Very disappointing, in that aspect at least. The French Revolution is a favourite period of mine to study, though, so I'm enjoying it otherwise.
