jesus, my gamestop just told me to show up 4 hours early as they are expecting hundreds of people. Why do companies feel the need to release all games during a span of two or three weeks in a year.

I don't understand very much French, so I doubt I'd be able to recognize poor voice acting.
I think having a bunch of British-sounding dudes would feel very out of place as the main cast of a game set in revolutionary France, though. I'm sure the voice acting is great, but I'd prefer it sound more appropriate to the setting.

Are you canceling and going somewhere else? That's insane.
I just called and my Best Buy canceled their midnight store opening.

I kind of just want to cancel and get it digitally right now. I will probably head over at 8(releasing at 9 on west coast here) and see how bad it is.

Ubisoft set a new benchmark for Virtual Worlds with this game.
Just can't imagine how awesome the tools and level editor they use in house to generate the city environment. Would love to see and indepth feature of someone working with that.
Also i finally reached the point were my brain can't process all the visual information the game is throwing at me. For example, i know there are character clones but when looking at the crowds it is not obvious to me.
Compliments to the animation algorithm they are using, it's amazing how well it handles navigation through complex environments like Paris. By no means perfect, but when it works glitchless is beautiful. The animations for spear like weapons deserve compliments also.
Too bad they didn't release this some months later as it could use more polish.

Nah, that benchmark was set with GTAV. Most buildings there are unique and colorful, while there seems to be quite a bit of repetition and a more muted color palette in AC:U.

No auto counter. Attacks must be parried, enemies no longer seemingly wait to attack you, the harder they are the more they block, dodge, and even sometimes using flash bangs to blind you.

Can't believe the companion app has IAP. That's a new low, even for Ubisoft.
What the fuck? Seriously?
Edit: Seen the screen above. What the actual fucking fuck? Now that's the scummiest type of IAP I've ever seen.
Yeah tonight is going to be crazy at retail. Glad I'm going digital.
I bought it from Ubisoft, and I'm not getting a preload option. It's in my library on UPlay, but no preload option. I'm in the U.S. though, so it may be different in other parts of the world.
Gotta wait for the old Amazon truck tomorrow...
It is not something too important behind paywall but it is dissapointing and stupid.

So I have this on Uplay... when do games usually unlock on there?
Mine usually comes at like 7pm. Can't do it haha. I'm too hyped to wait!
Gaz, we should definitely rock some co-op missions!
Also, I keep trying to download the Unity companion app but it says it was removed? iOS that is.

Stil showing 9 hours til unlock on PS4 (EST) I thought this unlocked at midnight?

Midnight PST.
My rig is showing it's age! I think I'll be waiting around for 980 >4GB VRAM before I really upgrade. But it's nice to know that even with the focus on some co-op objectives, the homies shall be there!~ I seriously thought about missing playing multiplayer Wanted from the previous AC games on console, so I bought ACIV on the cheap for PS4 just to pop into multiplayer every now and then.
But yes! And then GTA V? Whaaaaat. Things are looking good!
Damn I forgot this was coming out this week too. I've missed the past couple of Assassin's Creeds for one reason or another but I definitely want to dive into this one at some point.
The reveal made my jaw drop, has this had much of a downgrade since in terms of visuals? I've not really followed it too much. The lighting and IQ in the reveal was incredible imo.

Yeah November is crazy...
I'm really hoping the coop missions in AC Unity are pretty challenging. That always extends coop games for me. I remember playing Rainbow Six Vegas terrorist hunt on the hardest difficulty for dozens of hours.

Really interested in how this turns out.
Awaiting the reviews more than the game.

Frame rate is absolutely atricious.
Ps4 - patch installed.
Also combat is even worse and more sluggish than ever. Especially evident after playing Mordor.

I don't mean to ask a stupid question, but when is this coming out. I thought it was on the 14th, Friday, but it seems lots of people are getting theirs tomorrow and saying the review embargo is tomorrow too. Im in the UK btw.

This games going to be so buggy. I can't wait to see the anger.
Comes out tomorrow in the US that's why some people are getting it early.
I'm personally going to try and play it earlier using a VPN (Got the PC version pre-ordered digitally) because I can't be bothered waiting for the UK release.
US 11, Germany (maybe other countries too) 13, UK 14.

Ah cool, I guess that gives me some time to read reviews and some impressions first. Not that it usually matters for AC games since I have enjoyed them all.
Weird, maybe as it releases in the US tomorrow they decided to only do the preload elsewhere? This is what my client looks like at the moment:

It's been played all weekend and seems fine. You'll have to quell your sociopathic tendencies elsewhere i fear...

For ACU preload is only available for EMEA countries. Far Cry 4 will be available worldwide for preload.
