Assassin's Creed V: Unity

[dave heats]

7.8 from IGN. Sounds like it's basically more of the same, with a boring lead character. Still looking forward to it arriving on Friday however, should be a good excuse to use the PS4 along with PES.

Ouch. Apparently there are three types of chest in the game - the one is the standard in game, the second requires you to be signed into some Ubi online app and the third requires you to be logged into the Ubi mobile companion app. I didn't mind the companion app stuff in AC4 but this is bonkers.
Though I do realise that the chests in AC games are pretty in the first place, but still.

I've read a few reviews, this was high on my want list but it's sounding like a game I'll avoid. I love the concept of AC far more than the execution, and had hoped this game would be the one that really delivered. Scores are ranging between 6 and 8.

Will be skipping this. I will wait and see how Far Cry fares next week.

The online chests were in last time...I only realised I had found one cuz a trophy popped. Mobile app is a new one tho.

All the options to pay real money are fine, the trend for shipping games with ever more serious game breaking bugs is far worse!!

Hopefully Onechanbara turns up in time so I am not tempted to pick it up on the way home from work/the pub Friday

Thought this was a decent review, scores 6/10

Digital Foundry comparison of the console versions

Xbox one version running better than ps4. They must be using the cloud for deferred rendering or AI. Finally.

iVE played the first hour last night, after getting from the US store, and its strange, you start off controlling 3 or 4 different characters in the first hour, but i kind of like it so far, its just more Assasins Creed. it does what it says on the tin i suppose.

[Pulstar]

Ubisoft being ***** again.

At least they've put it on Windows Phone unlike Far Cry and Splinter Cell...but still it's a ridiculous option to have and penalises those without a smart phone or tablet (whomever that may be)

All the footage I've seen of this has been somewhat disappointing....it looks like every other AC but a bit more polished. Not the next/current gen leap I was hoping for, but curious to give this a blast tomorrow when my pre-order arrives.

Arcnas, have you managed to spend any more time on this today? Would be great to hear your impressions.

Decent read...not sure how I ended up on Forbes mind you.

Definitely not buying this now. Loved BlackFlag and love co-op games but everything I've read about Unity now says its an awful stinker to me. In fact it has me worried enough to have my finger hover over the cancel button on my Far Cry 4 preorder.

[Profit]

Things do not bode well for The Division.

[eastyy]

i still say i want a game like assassins creed but with no animus stuff for me it breaks the atmosphere

[Shozuki]

Well I ordered this via Uplay and it's failed to even load into my library. Can't contact a living person either so you just have to wait for a response.

Shocking customer service for such a big organisation...
