    GTA IV 2.0 or the Windows Vista of games. Seriously, a R9 290X or GTX 780 is required to run the game at modest settings? And even if you have one of those cards, it will run slow as hell. I have a Radeon R9 280, and it can run games like Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 on high settings! DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!

    Sub 30fps on an i7 running a huge overclock and 2 780's in SLI - This is why Ubi$oft games are pirated more than any other games from any other companies! Because Ubi$oft keeps on releasing AAA games in such a poor unplayable state that consumers think, why the hell should I pay $£€60 for a broken, unfinished piece of rubbish, but yet, they take no notice and keep releasing broken games.
    DayZ Standalone is in early access alpha... *ALPHA* and it has fewer bugs, glitches and crashing issues with better FPS than ACU.

    Assassin's Creed Unity sealed it for me - I will never buy another Ubi$oft game, not until they stop this BS and start releasing games in a playable finished state, only then will I even consider giving them my money.
    (The sad and worrying thing is though, hundreds of thousands of people still pre-order their games every year even when they keep getting burned every time. People need to wake up and start voting with their money, that the only way a company like this will listen and change.)

    Typical console port, 35-38 average FPS ( I have a 680 2GB OC and i5) no matter which settings I put on. Max graphical settings will result in about the same FPS as low settings.

    The audio is driving me insane. There is no surround sound it seems like. I feel like I'm playing Bully:Scholarship edition where everybody sounds like a horse when they walk and you can't track down where sound comes from (most of the time). I have a 7.1 surround headset with a dedicated sound card and it still sounds like crap.

    The online co-op has been down so far

    I can't comment on the story so far as I only have done 3 sequences (about an hour and a half's worth of gameplay), but it's nothing special SO FAR. The audio is just ruining the experience for me as well as the 30 fps and inconsistent spikes.

    I'm sure the story will get better but the game requires a patch ASAP for the sound issue and better optimization. There's no reason I should be getting the same FPS when I use max settings or low... I would gladly play on lower settings but this game doesn't seem to have actually been tested prior to release. Even the console peasants are experiencing similar issues    … Expand

    Unplayable with GTX 770. I don't care about fps but Unity stutters, lags and freezes every 3 seconds. Fps goes 0-18fps and 22-25fps. Low settings wont help because it still stutters and lags, and looks like PS1 game.

    I bought Unity to my Xbox One and now I can atleast play it.

    Worse PC port of mankind.

    I must say the game runs very bad. Even on low settings (while i play most on high or ultra) i have stuttering issues. Every time i notice a stutter, the polygons reset themselves.

I would change this when new patches get introduced and gamebecomes playable, this score would go as high as 7.5-8, not more. I would not increase more because the combat system is the same and it is really boring.… Expand

    This is the worst piece of trash in recent memory. I have a GTX TITAN X now and can't even get past the logos on startup. Crash Crash Crash... and there's no fix whatsoever. A $4,000 can't even run this thing. I used to have two 780ti's in SLI and couldn't even perform.
    Never.. ever purchasing a Ubisoft product again, let alone any Assassins Creed.

    Newfound openness of Assassin’s Creed demonstrates just how inadequate its AI really is for a stealth game: pampered nobility usually simply ignores a bloodied body on the dance floor, and guards don’t care much either. At least they’ve learned how to fight: unless you “cheat” with smoke bombs, it’s highly unlikely you’ll survive a melee against a group. [Jan 2015, p.62]

    As I write this, Assassin’s Creed: Unity is a bugfest, but technical problems, however annoying, can and probably will be fixed. It is not cracks in textures that it is the most worrying thing about Unity, but the cracks in game design and writing.
