Assassins Creed Unity

Another one that didn't have a post-release review embargo?

Destiny didn't really have a post-release embargo, it had a release-day embargo, lifting at 7 GMT. Bungie's reason was that since it's basically a MMO game, it couldn't be experienced before there were other people playing it.

The funniest part is that the embargo shitstorm is just free advertizing for Ubi, same with the feminist uproar months back.

Free advertising that the game is shit? All of them mention its problems.

Yes it runs like shit, but they still bought it.  Too busy laughing at the people who bought the game and complain afterwords.  Watch Dogs should have been enough, and yet here they line up again.

The same shit is going to happen next year, its a nice racket Ubi has going.

I seriously hope Far cry is not a god awful buggy mess when they release that.

I can't say much right now but I played the intro (less civilians, prolly smaller level) and it ran fine on High settings which the game assumed automatically for me... while still downloading the rest of 30GB

Haven't updated drivers or anything, not sure if it's with or without Day1 patch since it's downloaded only 1/3 of the game.

IT PRINTS MONEY!!! RUN AWAY!!!

Seriously tho, I do NOT condone the age and setting. I mean ffs If I wanted stealth and guns I would just play splinter cell. Imo they should take it 14th century or earlier.

Runs pretty fine for me too on High, but has some hiccups in weird places. And definitely very, very unoptimized -- it doesn't look THAT good.

[Molly]

Still downloading for the next 5h

I'll give it a try in between maybe...

Looks great, the hell are you talking about

Optimization would require work, something Ubi isn't known for given their past releases.  This is a yearly franchise after all, expect crap.  There's also no legitimate reason the game has to be in excess of 40gb.  Couldn't any of the games assets be compressed?

[Molly]

Works like a charm

Thank god for piratebay

Thank god for piratebay

This.  No money spent, no money lost.

[Tibe]

Its quite a large game isnt it. Wont probably even pirate it. AC became a borefest long ago. True, they got me at Black Flag and that was pretty awesome, but enough is enough.
