Assassin's Creed Unity has the weight of a console transition laying heavily upon it.

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.
GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."
Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective
Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.
I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.
Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.
After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.
Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore
It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.
The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).
Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.
Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.
Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.
Pretty harsh words:
"It's not just that these problems exist. It's that every Assassin's Creed game has had them for so long that I can't remember not dealing with them. And while each Assassin's Creed has moved farther away from the core of the series, ... Unity's re-narrowed focus on a single city and vertical traversal makes these navigation problems even less acceptable. Unity relies the most on its basic mechanics than any game in the series since 2009, and it buckles under the pressure.
Assassin's Creed Unity buckles in other ways, making for the least stable, worst-performing major release I've played this year."
Confirms what I've said a few times already, Ubisoft didn't make a next gen AC... they just upped the resolution, the NPC count and the lightning while dropping the multiplayer mode, the performance and the originality. All of this while bashing Shadow Of Mordor and coming up with lame excuses for console parity.
From my point of view, Ubisoft has become a terrible developer during the last 12 months, it's hard to believe how 10 studios (approx. 1000 people) were working on this game for over 3 years.
Let the well deserved hate commence!
ive downloades this through psn do i have to wait for the whole thing to download b4 i can get past a certain point cuz when i go to story mission it says wait for install b4 doing this mission and im only in that village u start off in does any1 no????
