markderoos Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 lol what, it's predicting 5 hours to install the update. Now 9 minutes :p Oh Ubisoft, you so crazy This game is beautiful, but noticed a bit of screen tearing which is odd seeing as people were saying it's the more stable of the "current" gen versions I haven't seen any screen tearing (yet)... ...knocks on wood What do you think of the graphics? Something doesn't seem "right", looks like a smoothening layer was put over the character models? I don't particularly like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I haven't seen any screen tearing (yet)......knocks on wood What do you think of the graphics? Something doesn't seem "right", looks like a smoothening layer was put over the character models? I don't particularly like it... Really? The first part of the game was filled with it. It was ridiculous. As soon as I got to Havana though, it was pretty much gone. I think the graphics are great, but I can see what you mean, there's an unnatural sheen to the skin Yep, this game is stunning. Still early on but having to navigate through a hurricane, complete with small tornados while escaping an enemy fleet. Beautiful...just beautiful. Miiverse shot since I cba to load up the Nintendo image stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markderoos Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I LOVED the hurricane bit also, it was so immersive to take control of the ship in that mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm thinking of getting it early next year, but need to know if it has long dull cut scenes and no proper gameplay for the first six hours , like some said was the case with ACIII?

tapedeck Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It's a Lego game so no, and no... Erm, LEGO? Definitely improves the intro over AC3 according to reviews. It's apparently straight into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) In a way, there are pretty much two games here. The sailing part is very much fleshed out, exploring is a lot of fun, as are ship battles, and then you have the more traditional Assassin's Creed gameplay on land. Here's an example of what I did last night I was sailing from one mission to the next, I saw a treasure chest on a small island so I stopped my ship, jumped off and had a look around. I returned to my ship and carried on, I entered a restricted area, got spotted by an enemy ship but managed to escape. Then I noticed an interesting looking cove. It was guarded by a fairly high-level ship, so I used the rocks to my advange and launched a surprise attack, I boarded it, killed half the crew and added it to my fleet (which adds them to a management mini-game like the missions you can send your Assassins to do in the previous ones), I then stopped off at the cove and swam to shore. There were some temples, and a few puzzles to solve. There were some guards with prisoners, so I had to sneak around and kill the guards to free the prisoners. There were also some black panthers lurking around for me to hunt, fragments to find and hidden chests. After I found everything, I swam back to my ship. A very high level ship started to approach the side of the cove I had cleared, so I went to the other one, quickly sailing past another fairly high level ship and escaping before they had time to manoeuvre. The best part: apart from choosing what to so with the ship I took over, this was all completely fluid with no breaks in gameplay. Edit: It should be noted that the bigger towns and areas do have a loading screen. Edited November 25, 2013 by Cube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markderoos Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Wow, this game pulls me in soo much, unbelievable! It even makes me reconsider buying Super Mario 3D World today and let that wait till I've finished this game. I never would've thought that possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I've got to say this game is sounding very interesting... but I've been looking for a bargain and the best I've found so far is from simply games: http://www.simplygames.com/info/19901 I don't suppose there's anywhere a tad cheaper? if not I'll just wait it out a bit, I think I have enough games to just about last me to my birthday!

I do notice a bit of stuttering when I run in this game, and sometimes in cutscenes...it's not a frame rate stutter but a blur stutter. Hard to explain.
