New AC is inevitable, it seems it will be set in 19c Paris, there will be a PS4/XB1 game and a 360/PS3 game, how disparate these are will be intriguing...

There are loads of settings you could have, history is not just about recent wars and ninjas :rolleyes:

I doubt renaissance Italy would be at the top of many peoples lists and that era was something of a success for AC.

Pretty immersed in this, it has some tech issues still but what a deep and entertaining game.

Well I've completed this now and am working through the rest, the city of Paris does seem to weave a spell over me somewhat, it's a very interesting game world. For everyone's notice the free 'Dead Kings' expansion is out now for XB1 and tommorow for PS4, according to IGN it is worth a look, the new Guillotine gun looks fun!

Yeah , I got it for sub 25 quid so took a punt, glad I did. its better then black flag, and I've seen a few glitches but nothing like what was being posted, and the crowds are very dense as in loads of people.. the viewpoint panoramic views are stunning, and the light used is pretty good...

story wise, well it's an ac game, follow closely otherwise you might lose the plot lol

Some people downplay the bugs playing through the single player but the game has an uneartly amount of problems, lots of graphical/control glitches and the co-op is a laggy mess. Unpatched it can be considered a broken game.Single player is playable enough now however but overall it wasn't released in anywhere near a good enough state.

I played through it on Xbox One on release and did not find it to bad tbh. There was a few bugs but nothing game breaking and no more than most other games released lately.

I would disagree - most games released today are relatively flawless, look at some yt videos for unity's many almost comedic bugs pre patches. But as I said on the single player front you can play through the game fairly well, but the co-op is still incredibly laggy and buggy. Just nowehere good enough.

The expansion is up for dl on ps4 now

Well the DLC is a bit downbeat, a bit dull and as buggy and saddled with FPS problems as pre-patch Unity was. No wonder they gave it away for free tbh, probably to avoid having to devote resources to getting it to work properly.

really not sure if your being serious here, the amount of games shipped in the last 18 months that have required endless patching to be remotely fit for purpose has been higher than at any point in gaming.

To say most are "flawless" is, erm.... you are joking, right?

Most being those not released by ubi or ea. TLOU had no bugs, Infamous had no bugs, wolfenstein, moto GP and Killzone had no bugs. AC:U was an utter mess of bugs. Take shadow of mordor, a game of similar scale, released smoothly sans bugs. It is Ubi's haste to rush it out the door to meet pre-order hype that made the situation. Try the Co-op even 3 patches (3 hasty patches) later, it is still really a poor experience. At least EA to their credit got BF4 into a playable state eventually.
