@alucardswrath: video ads net more money.

@ives74: On XSX, it's definitely 60fps. There may be a slight hiccup here and there in cinematic portions where it drops into 40s, but during gameplay, it's damn near a lock on 60.

so far, this game is a a boring slog. I played the previous two extensively, but this one-- something's off. It's just boring.

Hold on now.. Ubi had always held that 30fps was "central to the cinematic nature" of AC games on console. What are they saying now?

Anyone buying the "games are moar expensive to make!" argument is naive. The past two generations have seen little to no increase in development costs. Textures are generally created hi res and compressed/shrunk down to fit hardware limitations. Geometry is easier to model with more polygons -- not harder. The logic in the games hasn't progressed in 20 years. This is all just a Bobby Kotick bonus plan.

@jsprunk: VHS tapes used to run between 20 and 30 at launch for the Hollywood films. DVDs did, as well, now BluRays and 4KBR do.

"It features some major changes from the other expansions, including the ability to change your character's gender without a fee,"

What a world we live in.

This makes me glad I went with X.
