I can’t recall how much I hated the very strict rules taking place during story missions in most of the series. What I liked, no, LOVED, was how they changed most of your story assassination missions. I have one big like and dislike when it comes to the changes. Therefore, shouldn’t I be embracing the chances? Maybe this game will feel like a fresh experience.” And you know what? Overall, I’m happier with the gameplay in this one than the last few installments. Every year I complain the games are more of the same. When I read reviewers’ skepticism regarding how much the formula was being changed, I was a bit concerned. Stupid developer money-grabbing decisions aside, I actually liked this game a lot more than I thought I would. I realized early on that I wouldn’t have a cleaned up map by the end of the game, and it was probably a large part of why I didn’t even try. It irritated me to no end that I’d never clear out my map because of the extra missions and chests I wouldn’t be opening. And, if I so chose to download and use the app, THEN have the icons clutter up my beautiful map of France. Instead, they should have put an ad on the opening menu or load screens to inform me about the app. Granted, in AC: Unity it’s nothing with that much impact on the overall story, but I’m still against the whole idea. After what Bungie thought they could do with Grimoire Cards to make the players use their stupid app or website to find out key aspects of the game, I decided to take a personal stand against the practice. My other annoyance is how they added icons on my map that could only be cleared by using the outside companion app. When the real money “cheat” is nowhere close to necessary to beat the game! I mean, I zoomed through the game in 20 hours and didn’t feel like I needed those real money “hacks” to feel like I had a chance beating it.
AC UNITY NOMAD POINT UPGRADE
Ubisoft thinks I need to spend real money to hack an upgrade on a piece of gear when I could easily get the currency the legit way? Or, what’s worse for me, is realizing that there are gamers out there who actually DO cough up the dough! After spending full price for the game.

My main issue is the constant need on the part of the developer to inject stupid, desperate micro-transaction cash grabs into the game (especially a game like AC where they feel completely out of place). While I missed out on all the release day drama, I can say this entry in the series is polarizing for me as well, just for different reasons. Check out this video I posted on Youtube that made me chuckle:

This is an Assassin’s Creed game, after all. Which isn’t to say I didn’t experience any glitches. I mean, look at this!Ĭomedic gold, this is! …And yet, even I can admit it’d get real old after the first five minutes. Part of me is a little sad I missed out on the hilarious face glitches.
AC UNITY NOMAD POINT PATCH
Lucky me, I didn’t play the game until after the patch that fixed most of the issues. This game’s release is yet another Triple A launch disaster.
AC UNITY NOMAD POINT PS3
I’m not buying Rogue for the PS3 because I just KNOW there will be some HD remaster/remake for the new-gen consoles in the next year or so. Well, two games last year, but I’m no fool.

Another year, another Assassin’s Creed game.
