I don't watch fps counters as they do that to you, make you fixate on framerate. Smile

I just know it runs smooth and at constant speed, and its not choppy 30 fps, so I am happy Very Happy

Are you using d3doverrider if you have vsync on?

Ok, the game picked up now again. finally done with the tutorials and mmo quests Laughing

had some decent exploration, climbing, sailing, combat, and then another boner inducing abstergo scene. Frap Frap Guy

I don't understand why they don't make a game set in that time period completely. i love watching the sci-fi world they imagined and even reading and listening the notes and collectibles there.

They just have to throw that animus shit completely overboard.

Still find BF one of the best AC's so far.

And the other one, dont know if it was AC 1 or 2, played it a long time ago.

Because they'd have to make it a TPS/FPS. If you listened to the notes then you know combat is resolved with shootouts, not conga lines of stab/counterstab Razz

Then again they might turn it into Call of Assassins or something

you might wanna try radeonpro triple buffering forcing if d3doverider isn't working on win 8.
it should work on nv cards as well.

Thanks man, this game doesnt have triple buffering by default, so when you drop 1 fps it gets locked at 30, its insane.

But its the version i have, its just not working, and playing without v sync with 60 fps cap is not fun, i still get a lot of tear huh...

Just completed the freedom cry dlc and am now done with the whole game.

Overall feeling, meh. The story mode is still basically a tail and eavesdrop simulator with some MMO quests in between. Story was also extremely disjointed and didn't hook me at all.

The main character is an unlikable scumbag, the supporting cast is all pirate cliche's.

What worked though, was the great atmosphere provided by the graphics, sound efects, and a huge world that was great to explore. Ship combat was also great, and finally the economy wasn't a complete joke like in previous games. I actually didn't even fully upgrade my ship because i got tired of ship combat (even though it was fun) before getting enough resources.

So exploration, sailing, the underwater stuff, and especially abstergo offices parts were the highlights of the game. both aveline and freedom cry are too short, but are at least dynamic, so they were pretty fun for the most part.

But in the end, I am left with a sour taste because there's just so much filler, and so much unfulfilled potential. I mean, a simple action RPG in this world and setting, with more exploration, loot, less handholding, and it would be a beast of a game.

They have this great skeleton, but their gameplay designers are either forced to rehash and add filler, or they are just really bad at their jobs. There's very little meat on the bone Sad

I was planning on playing rogue right after this but no way that is happening. the game exhausted me with the stale gameplay.


6.5/10 on the IGN scale. Laughing

I see AC Black Flag is -60% on Steam right now. I still didn't get a chance to play the game and using the fleet would be nice.
If I buy the Digital Deluxe and Season Pass, do I get every single DLC or is there still something missing? (pre-order or promotional stuff etc.)

Sadly just some mockup.
But Ubilol should really consider doing a new genre for the next AssCreed, instead of the same boring collectible climber.

Something similar to Commandos / Shadow Tactics like in the screenshots please?

Regarding the free games:

Quote:
Players will need to log into Uplay and then download the games during the period of time that they are free. Only then will they be able to keep them in their library

Probably to ensure the activation or license sets though you'd think they would have ensured the game gets fully registered into the users account upon activation instead of when the game is first launched or downloaded.

Though that's still a shortcoming with how UPlay integrates with Steam, game needs to be started once first if it's a UPlay game from Steam before it'll register to UPlay and show up as owned there though it's mostly automated at least with just a short confirmation being required. Smile


EDIT: Though it's also possible Ubisoft is just being careful and ensuring the user has ownership of the title which would be confirmed if the game downloads just fine and then starts and it's not really a requirement, just the way it's worded or something like that.
(Whereas in actuality it does a full ownership and license upon activation to the users account.)

same here. AC4, WiC, Beyond good and evil.

Maybe it is different, if you add it via browser instead of client?

You don't need the tutorial for Black Flag, just press the main button and the awesome happens Cool Face

On a more serious note, regarding the FOV I remember that the only way was to use Cheat Engine and a table specifically made for it, though I don't know if it's still available on the interwebs since it's been a while.

Edit:
It's still available here, under Video Settings, worth a try I guess Razz

So I installed this yesterday looking to scratch the pirate/naval itch and it seems Ubi lost my saves. I opened a ticket and they essentially told me "oh-well" and to back it up on my own. I usually do, but this one I did not.

That said, does anyone have a save I could have/try since going to Ubisoft Connect client? I tried downloading another save game and it just doesn't seem to do anything so I'm wondering if it's the new client they use now. It can be end game as I know I wasn't too far away from it, I just wanted to mess around a bit is all.

Side question - Is AC Rogue a similar experience? Maybe I'll get that at some point.

Not sure about your previous question but the Kenway saga (AC3+BF+Rogue+Freedom's Cry) place a lot of emphasis on ship fighting. Well AC3 not that much since it introduced it but the latter 3 have a lot of it.



1 and 2 are still amazing.

You will most likely need to use save converting tool to convert to your uplayid, but sadly i don't think i keep one yet. Just using another user saves won't work 99%

@Mikey5449 Same happened to me last year when I wanted to finish the game.

UBIsoft disabled cloud save for this game some years ago for some fucking reason and of course the save files weren't in obvious personal folder but in hidden "appdata" folder or something which I didn't backup when upgrading my system...

So I had to start over (no biggie though as the start of the game is good).

Funny thing is that all the "ship company" related progression was still here so I started will all my ships upgrades and already unlocked routes for economy stuff Smile

Good luck.
