Damn tourists flooding Paris.
The dude has more on his tumblr: http://tidamz.tumblr.com/
For all the crap Ubisoft is getting, the graphics and the dedication to detail in the latest Assassin's Creed *is* pretty damn impressive.
SatanLordOfUpvotes
I LEGIT THOUGHT THIS WAS REAL LIFE AND WAS REALLY CONFUSED WITH THE DESCRIPTION.
JustHereForTheAlbums
Graphics don't make a game. Cool. It looks good. Too bad it runs like shit.

Damn. Europe is old as shit, man.
BlitzerRhames
Europe, where History comes from.

Holy shit, so the city actually built all of the stuff in the game?

Fucking intense. Who says video games never inspired anyone?

This is awesome! Well done

Take a look at the building in haze of the AC screenshot, then look at the far right of the actual picture, behind the sign.

The building behind
arghnard
imho, ac unity has the best setting by far.
sirplayerone
I can get behind that. I also enjoyed Constantinople in AC: Revelations and Boston/New York in AC3.
arghnard
Forgot about the new york stage in 3. yeah, that was an incredible mission.
sirplayerone
Alot of the time,I had to stop what I was doing to take in the fact that the city looked so much like these paintings of colonial houses 1/2
sirplayerone
2/2 my aunt has, especially when it was winter in-game.
Galakan
I like to think they actually sent the art team over to france. But most of me knows they just looked on street view.
dracuella
Actually, a lot of these streets wouldn't be on street view since they're pedestrian areas, so I'm hoping they had an awesome fieldtrip :D
anthonyfscott
That last one doesn't really work, does it?

do you see just above the AC-part, thats the actual top of that building :)

Not sure about this game. Last game I played was Road to El Dorado on PS One. Damn I loved it!

I played that..... when I was six.

For my 9th grade global assignment we played Assassins Creed and had to find historical landmarks in game and match them on a worksheet.

Thats actually really awesome.

God this makes me wish Skyrim was real so I could take pictures like this..
TheAlphaOrder
I went to one of the coves you can find in AC4 when I went to Mexico. It was in Tulum. Amazing feels were had.

I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but I've always been against taking pictures and instead living the memory.

The game has always been great about the architecture. I knew my way around Venice because of these games.
LegendofMewtwo
Same, except some police officer got mad at me for trying to climb up to the roof.
hobolaw
I tried to find the building I work in in Assassin's Creed 3. It turns out that building was not there during the American Revolution.
vauhtihirmu
I could never find my way around Venice in the game... Damn canals breaking my rooftop jumping paths!
Cakes1234
When a friend and I was in Venice, we both were talking about remembering climbing that building and that one and killing someone there.
geckokid
I did the same in Istanbul when I visited for a day trip... it was incredible. I was like "I CLIMBED THAT BUILDING!"... I miss my haystack.
dracuella
Me, too! We did an AC themed vacation in Venice and I think people thought I was a bit braindamaged from all the squeeing and gawking I did
AntonioStark
Whatever, happiness is independent of brain function.... To a point. Lol.

Can I get an AC game that takes place in modern Japan? Preferably one that doesn't suck? Thanks.

Midtown Madness is how I know my way around Paris and DC.

Too bad it's easier to walk to France to see these places than playing the game.

Depends. Walking across the Atlantic ocean is pretty hard.

I went to Venice a few years before AC2 was out and I too was amazed by the attention to detail. So beautiful too.
andysniper
I went to Rome the year before Brotherhood. Playing the game I could be like 'and if I go here i should see the.... There it is.' Awesome.
AntonioStark
I had a harder time in Rome. The city is too modern for me to make the mental translation.
Sacurason
My dad is Turkish; I lived in Istanbul for a while. Seeing the city in its ancient glory was awesome!!!
AntonioStark
That sounds awesome! It's on my bucket list of places to go.
connerfusion
I played the game first, and thought those tall red towers all over were a stupid gameplay concession. then I went there and saw them.
Thoraxe123
when i was in Venice, i was all, "I KILLED A GUY, RIGHT THERE"
AntonioStark
Yeah I did plenty of that too. You know, the memories. Lol.

Haha, I was running ahead of my bf and yelled back to him, "Remember this church? There was a glyph right there!!" *arms flailing furiously*
Thoraxe123
It's crazy how accurate they were :)

Yeah even down to those wall-stabilising metal bars on the building facades that you'd grab on to climbing up the walls. In the game that is

Fallout 3 is less true to the real world, though.
NickelbackDidNothingWrong
Besides the part where it's post-apocalyptic, how exactly? The map of the Mall in the game and reality are identical.
theyoungestoldman
Played all of the Saboteur before going to Paris. I just wanted to blow shit while I was there.

That was a cool game. Had lots of fun killing krauts!

Ironically, this is also the same frame rate as the game.

MadJackMcJack
They wanted to pump out a AAA every year and fell short.
EulaliaSaxons
As much as I love the AC series, it was redundant. But then it hit bottom with 3. 4 was okay, but I haven't finished it yet, so...
DiedAndHauntingImgur
It's becoming pretty common unfortunately. Bungie & Destiny are perfect examples. Patches and DLC tarnish the experience.
Kyleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Since they release them quickly they take shit for minor bugs.
cherokeehackslife
Wanting to make games too quickly and straying completely away from the story line for $$$. I purchased every AC title and wont now.
Matocuuri
Bought 2,3 and brotherhood(?) from steam sales. I thought I could play 'em instead of watching hours of cutscenes
TurgonTheWise
I finished Ezio's trilogy, but I haven't touched any of the recent games. Are they any good?
Ghost6503
After 3 they seem to completely disregard the story. Black Flags gameplay was amazing, but the story was poorly written.
double0jesus
Black Flag was a blast. Been replaying my way through the series. It was such a leap forward
Matagaming1
Black Flag is one of the better games in the series recently, imo
TurgonTheWise
Ok thanks! I'll definitely give it a try.
Kyleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
It's funny really because if they took 3 or 4 years to make a new game they'd only get shit for not releasing one forever but..

Hey, Far Cry 4 is damn good despite large similarities to 3. It's still absolutely amazing and gives me faith in Ubisoft

NO ONE is complaining about the artists. They work their asses off and deliver. Its the execs rush out the games before they are polished.
asdfkeyboardman
It warms my heart to see so many comments about management being the problem and not the artists and engineers.
PibbleZoomies
THIS! A thousand times, THIS!
NewVegasResident
And the fact the game sucks ( It's just the same as any other AC game whereas AC IV has something unique )

Is. Is this the first ever Extra Credit?
aldriel
The art is so damn good in Unity, it's just that the game was rushed so the devs couln't make the game up to par on the tech side.
minigunner90m
The battlefield devs said they needed more time. They hadnt even completed user testing the netcode. Its a shame devs are blamed for (p 1)
ICantThinkOfADecentUsernameEver
None of the people i've met in my time in BF4 have said ill of DICE, just so much hate at EA for being twats.
override367
BF4 should have been an expansion, it's way too similar to BF3
FatLobyte
"Should have".EA is looking for the path which brings the most profit & realeasing slightly rehashed games as "ALL BRAND NEW" is part of it.
kingbrujah
same is true for EA killing the MoH series.
minigunner90m
Mistakes the executives make. The devs job is to make a product. It now seems like the executives job is to extort money from peolpe.
polarpandah
And this is why I want to be an exec. So I can be an example of how to not be an asshole.
JarethCutestory

Also, they have shit customer service. I still can't play AC3 because of some error with Uplay and I can't get an actual person to help.

ME4 I worry about how they're going to fit it in with the rest and fit the whole 'not invalidating playthroughs' philosophy.

They need to take a note from Nintendo, waiting an extra 6 months to a year is worth it.

Ubisoft might be doing it again with The Crew. Last time I saw the release date it was next year. Now it's suddenly coming out next week

Also, Ubi isn't sending out any review copies of the game. They said that critics can make their reviews once they've bought the game.

*ALSO* they treat their devs like complete trash.
1LiterMilk
I was under the impression this more oftenl in the gaming industry than not, due to the sheer popularity to work in it.
twentyfiveandone
It happens more often than not because you A) Usually work from scratch more or less, and B) The Execs don't understand dev cycle.
jokerwolf
It is way worse than you think, during crunch periods they have to work like 14 hour days and weekends for at least a month.

I 'll be the AC sheep here and say I feel like AC Unity was a pallet cleanser.
sirplayerone
Define "pallet cleanser". I don't get that phrase.
smashpro1
Black Flag was the cleanser.
Erilis
I like how the combat and assassination missions throw back to AC1 and the setting and characters feel like AC2. ^_^
Erilis
Oh, and no more naval warfare which to me was a drag. I know some ppl liked it but I didn't feel like it fit in the AC gameplay.
sirplayerone
Wow, some one who actually agrees with me about AC. Kudos.
everybodyfreetosayanythingtoanybody
Cleanser, sure. Like the product of a weeklong laxative binge or something. (I jest, but it's seriously got unacceptable issues)
dracuella
Do you guys play on xbox, ps4 or pc? Are the problems related to a specific platform? I intend to play on One
everybodyfreetosayanythingtoanybody
Most complaints've been about PC AFAIK (the funny face bug), but there're framerate issues across the board, I believe.
dracuella
Thanks, I was afraid of that. It seems there are more ports from console to PC nowadays and it's making the pc suffer
everybodyfreetosayanythingtoanybody
It's not across-the-board bad. Really, PC gaming's stronger than it has been for a good long while. But then there's Ubisoft...
SwungCookie
I play on the One, and the frame rate drops not so often, but doesn't make it unplayable.
dracuella
Ah that is good to hear. I remember AC Black Flag would pause slightly when you were running around in the beginning. But it was fixed later
sirplayerone
I've head it runs quite well on the PS4, ok on the Xbone, and, depending on the person, either shit/well on the PC.
dracuella
I guess hw configuration has a lot to do with it. I'm hoping I'll be satisfied with the One (or I'll just have to get a damn ps4)
sirplayerone
I hope so. And I know how you feel, I'm a Xbox guy myself, though I do respect Playstation. I'm still not sure which console I'll get.
Erilis
These are amazing. I agree too OP, it runs fine for me on PS4 (I knew my pc wouldn't be able to handle the next-gen) and looks amazing.
hugmeimscared
TBH, I haven't played Unity. I just like the series and really miss Paris atm. :P
CultofCedar
Ubisoft is giving away free dlc and if you bought the season pass which was $30 there giving away any free game. Including FC4.
tyconle
I've kept getting ce-34878-0 errors during the story for mine. I'm so pissed because it's the only game I've wanted to play.

ZED52
Serious question: Is it worth getting? I like the franchise but i havnt heard anything good about the game
TheGrounded
Picking on Ubisoft is the "cool" thing right now. Try it out for yourself and see if you like it.
bkf2777
As a huge fan of the series, I'd say this one was a solid "okay". I enjoyed it enough to finish the story, but I won't be going back to it.
jalenp69
Did you play Rogue? I went through it because I'm also a big fan but I was pretty shocked by how much I enjoyed the story and characters.
bkf2777
I have to wait for a PC port of Rogue, but I'm definitely getting it if/when that happens.
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
How does it compare to ACIII?
bkf2777
I'd say its better than 3. The main character is better, and the gameplay is more interesting. Most of my issues with Unity were broken stuf
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
If they fix shit, is the after-story gameplay any good?
wyane380
I'm a person who's all about the gameplay and this was one of my least favorites. I ended up selling it before I finished.
Erilis
If you liked the first and second, and Brotherhood, YES. But if you're getting it for PC be aware you'll need a beast of a machine to run it
meowsolini
Way too buggy. Sometimes unplayable. Wait for patches and see how people review them.
CultofCedar
There are a lot of bugs it's not over exaggerated. I felt like the moment mechanics were buggy too but they announced free dlc.
TinySupreme
People are picky assholes about Ubisoft games for some reason. The only review that should matter to you is your own. Maybe rent it first?
gengumby
with the amount of DRM on games i'm surprised renting is still an option (if it still is?)
Matocuuri
Ye can joen the lokal pirate forrces. Join the ship and get yerr frree copy
windragon
it's not really next gen, it's just poorly coded. memory leaks everywhere.
kishinlemming
Yeah. At one point I saw the Statue of Liberty. Glitchy as all hell!
windragon
there is a statue of liberty in paris though, wrong period i admit
Erilis
I know there have been problems. I can only speak from my own xp and it's run fine on PS4 so that's probably the recommended machine 1/2
Erilis
I completely agree that the publisher is pushing these games too hard too fast and not giving the devs time to nurture and perfect them. :(
gengumby
isn't poor code a sign of a new generation? rush out to meet demand. it's also why late-gen games tend to run better
Matocuuri
That's why I'm not gonna get next gen consoles too early. And the prices come down with time
windragon
poor code is a sign of too strict deadlines and annual releases, pulling grind work for 3-4 years straight is not good for code quality
Erilis
I agree, but it really is one of the best looking games to date imo
SightlierGravy
It's poorly coded for the pc too though. It being rushed has nothing to do with it being next gen.
FreakedFack
Artwork 11/10 - Actual performance considering the price and AAA title -1/10
ManOfMuffin
So it adds up to 10/10 right?
Matocuuri
For Ubi, yeah, but graphics and artworks arent gonna save otherwise bad game
FreakedFack
No, you also have to add up the "divided by 10", which will make the final score a 5/10
IPaidAHoboToSpoonMe
A solid 12/10. Sounds like a good game.
FreakedFack
I see you don't math much.. (11-1)/2=5 out of 10 for a full price triple A title game we've already played ten times. AC 1 was a better game
Amythyst
Triple A? Half-Life 3 confirmed.
IPaidAHoboToSpoonMe
That's some nice random number pulling you got going on there. It's a pity I couldn't use those skills when writing my sarcastic comment.
FreakedFack
That's some really nice sarcasm you got going there, too bad sarcasm can't fix bugs and bad coding in modern gaming.
VeryCrunchyTaco
There's someone else who liked AC 1?! I thought I was the only one.
FreakedFack
Uh .. I've actually .. I've never played a single one of them, but gennerally when people warp in and out of existance, something went wrong
