As someone who has really enjoyed all the AC games up to this point, I can safely say it will not be better in most ways even if it gets completely patched. It's the worst in the series.Evonisia said:

Ouch, Yahtzee really didn't like that one. So it would have been good if it wasn't shit? Compared to the nominal tirade of amusing but absurd insults, that comes across as dead serious. Glad I'm not on the team making the game, I would have hid my face in a pillow and cried from shame.
Another issue I have with this release, apart from the myriad already stated, is the franchise nature of the series has been poorly done. Until I went to the store, I didn't even realize "Rogue" existed, much less that it seems to have come out almost at the same time as Unity. I once thought I'd be buying all these games, but it went the way of Final Fantasy...
For all the gripes I feel like this is a game I want to play at some point much, much later.

lets go over the checklist.
complains the pc port is shite. Check.
makes an overdramatic statement over buying the ps4 version. Check.
complains about the framerates like they actually mean something. Check.
Constantly pointing out ubisofts member thing and ps+. Check
all it really needs is some out of context anime reaction images and it feels like a post right off of 4chan's /v/ board.
Admittedly this has felt like more of a review than the past few video's he's put out, especially destiny.
maybe this is some sort of secret satire he's been trying to do about all the "pc master race" stuff that more and more people are trying to do. but lately it feels like every review can be shortened to "the pc port is broken" or "Don't buy it there's no pc version" and it kind of gets my goat.

This isn't like "oh it runs at 30FPS, THIS IS UNPLAYABLE!" The game frequently chugs to below 10 FPS even on consoles. That's almost literally slideshow speed; it affects gameplay in a way pretty much anybody is going to notice.el_emmens said:
If someone gets it on PC and it's broken then they can legitimately complain about it. To be fair Yahtzee did complain about the game itself, specifically the execution of the story and time period which he has previously said would fit the game perfectly. Its the execution that's failed them here.el_emmens said:
The PS4 statement is most odd as last time I heard him talk on the issue it seems he knows full well he'd hardly be safe from that venom if people decided to target him, Alienware and all that but maybe his circumstances have changed since than I don't know.el_emmens said:
Its not satire, its called playing to your marks[footnote]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_professional_wrestling_terms#M[/footnote]. Its why I'm not much of a fan of people who do that online as they aren't a good enough performer to get over based on their own ability, and have to work over all the marks who believe all this to be real to get anything.
This is gaming, such things should have no place... but it goes on and people swallow it up happily.
