What's this game like with all the patches? Never really played the AC series much but I'm playing AC IV Black Flag and actually really enjoying it. Seems like a huge game as it's taking me a while to progress, so I take it Unity is shorter?
My two pence.
I waited for the 1.4 patch before I touched the game. I play at 1920x1200 res. All setting maxed AND TXAA was playable, but I was getting hitching. After watching You Tube videos I saw people with better rigs than mine playing with FXAA, so I tried that instead. Made a big enough difference with minimal drop in IQ.
On the to the game. The city is good and there is a lot going on. However it's the same a lot going on all over the place. (If that makes any sense.)
This was the first game however that gave me the illusion that these people where going about their daily routines. I even stopped just to watch the executions.
I feel like they spent all their time working on the city and not on actually story missions. I played for about 6 hours on the main story then realised I was about 70% through the game, so slowed down and did some of the side stuff.
Unfortunately most of the missions are very samey. Go to A, retrieve or kill B, return etc etc etc....
Some better than others, but ultimately, I didn’t feel like the side quests where that interesting.
The main story is short, and also not very good. Hardly any Actually Assassin / Templar story line in this one. It didn’t forward the story at all. No out of the animus stuff either.
Over all, it was OK, but not one of the best AC in the series. I would give it 7/10. Worth a play, but only when cheap. Like £15.
