Assassin's Creed Unity... who else loves this game?

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who appreciates this game. No one I've spoken to liked it. Granted, I never had any problems running it, and I can understand how poor performance can turn one off to a game, but still. I've always had a soft spot for Assassin's Creed games because I'm a huge history nerd and I relish the opportunity to experience settings such as the Holy Land during the Crusades, Renaissance-era Italy, and so on. For this reason I tend to be forgiving of the general clunkiness that has always been present in the series to some degree. The only games I was unable to complete (still in progress with Unity) were Revelations (awesome that it took place in Constantinople, but I got bored) and III (horrid, horrid game, only one I actually disliked, although I wanted to like it very badly). Unity has many problems but it's also an incredible achievement in that it really captured what I imagined Paris to be like during the Revolution and it was really incredible to experience that. I've been playing in French with subtitles because the English accents don't sit right in a game set in France and it's been a really engrossing experience. There's no way I'm the only one that's enjoying/enjoyed this game this much. So what did you guys think of it? As I mentioned, none of my game playing friends liked it, but performance issues were a factor in forming that opinion, so maybe I'm just lucky enough to have a rig that can run it :P

if it ran at more than 20fps that'd be nice

I have only played 1st bit to see what it was like but looks good. I loved Ac4 Black flag and this seems a better port then that too.

Its overall an awesome game but quite terribly optimized, though this is coming from someone who owns a GTX970, even mid range GPUs like the GTX760 however should be able to run this game as it has the tech to support, ubisoft just couldn't be bothered.

I will play this one, but want to finish up Black Flag and start Liberation HD.

Dude, you probably played it at launch and never again right? Most of the issues have been fixed now.

Look at my specs. They are lower than yours and I played it at launch before the patches came out.... it only dipped below 30fps in 3 spots in the entire game.

Why must you always rush to made up conclusions and be a dick to people that are critical of something? I played it yesterday to see the new unlocked chests and the framerate gave me a headache

@psn8214:

It runs pretty well on my PC and gsync monitor. I'm using TXAA too and it gives the game an incredibly clean, consistent look. It's a gorgeous game.

I've really enjoyed my time with the game and, aside from the somewhat glitchy npcs, haven't really had any issues with it.

Yeah, like I said, I definitely understand how performance issues could influence how you feel about a game. If it doesn't run well then usually I can't play it, so I totally get that. I was expecting the worst with Unity based off of everything being said online but I was pleasantly surprised to be able to maintain a good framerate at 1080 with my 3770K, 16 Gb DDR3, and GTX 770. The patches have only improved it as well. It's been running noticeably better and it's very consistent now: no jumps or dips.

@kalipekona:

I started off using TXAA when I first got the game but eventually I switched to FXAA. Less of a performance hit and while it doesn't clean up the picture as much as TXAA does it also blurs the games textures a lot less. This isn't a bad game with aliasing, so I'm OK with this, especially as some of the textures are amazing detailed and sharp; blurring them compromises the amazing work the artists did with this game, it really is a thing of beauty.

I'm not being a dick, I'm just stating that most of the issues have been fixed now (not ALL, not for everyone, ie, you).

Unity had one of the worst launches ever in AssCreed history, but a lot of people ran it fine after the patches.

Why do u have to take a simple comment like mine personally? I'm only saying that for most people it works better now... I never said it ran perfectly for everyone

the issues made some parts of the game unplayable for me. i guess i will have to give it another go.

I played it on the PS4, so I had no issue with optimization, but it just really wasn't as fun as previous ACs. It was better than AC3 and Rogue, but really paled in comparison to Black Flag, and a very far cry from AC 2.
