Just curious... define bombed? Unity's first week was better than Black Flag's in sales.
Dude, just let it go. The game bombed and is a technical disaster. It's been panned by reviewers not just for its shoddy coding and less than promised visuals with insane performance demands - but - also for bad and rehashed gameplay.
Here are some screenshots I posted:

Ingame later once you become an assassin the FPS hovers closer to just over 50FPS unless its a closed in space. Some dips to 45FPS.
Are you sure your settings are maxed out? Those screenshots look way less detailed than some I've seen posted elsewhere.
You've lied several times in this thread, and even after being corrected you still continue to lie. Every time you lie I'm going to call you out.. Same for the others :biggrin:

That's due to console sales. You have the $330-350 XB1 ACU+Rogue bundle, and Sony only now announced the GTAV+TLoU $400 PS4 bundle. It's no wonder the XB1 AC bundle has been selling like hot cakes as it's essentially the cheapest XB1 bundle this holiday season.
Then you have the Ubisoft Pick Your Path NV bundle which basically means a lot of 970/980 gamers redeemed this title for free. The actual sales of Unity on the PC are garbage vs. console sales. Even Valkyria Chronicles sold more on Steam in the first week of release.

Now barely 1 week after Unity came out, it's way way down on the Steam's top seller's list while older games like COD:AW are still up there.
Here is a snapshot of UK AC Unity sales:
"Assassin's Creed: Unity was the top debut this week on the UKIE GfK Chart-Track chart and reported by MCVUK for the week ending November 15. The game launched in second place with strong sales. First sales for the game were higher than last year's Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. 52 percent of sales for the game were on the PlayStation 4, 36 percent were on the Xbox One, while just two percent was on the PC."

Even if you think that Unity sold 10X more digital copies than reported, that sales performance is still pathetic given how many PC gamers there are out there and how few PS4/XB1 gamers own the new consoles < 25 million. Groover is right that Unity bombed on the PC.
Doesn't seem any different for Inquisition for me.
Here is a 3 minute video of Unity gameplay with cut scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYXPvkvNTbY&list=UUTpRcNqMn1bfxKsycr4ZsvQ&index=1
FX-8350 @ 4.7Ghz vs. i5-4690K @ 4.8Ghz paired with GTX 970 @ 1500 / 7332 Mhz
Setting: Full HD 1080P + All MAX + 4xMSAA
1. FX-8350 @ 4.7Ghz is not much slower than i5-4690K @ 4.8Ghz and sometimes even faster. Therefore, we can safely conclude that FX AMD CPUs are not responsible for the atrocious performance in Unity. While the best FX CPU overclocked won't suddenly match an i7-5960X @ 4.6Ghz, it doesn't matter much since even with a 970 SLI the game can't consistently hit 60 fps, nowhere near.
2. Even with an i5-4690K @ 4.8Ghz, which is faster than your 6-core IVB, the game tanks to 30 fps and is often running at 30-45 fps at 1080P on a 970 @ 1.5Ghz! FPS is erratic and the game looks ugly. This is only at 1080P, not even talking about 1440/1600P where you continue to claim you get constant 60 fps on dual 970s, which is basically impossible.
Keep defending Unity and keep losing reputation on our forums. It's your own choice really.
I've already addressed this with you several times, but you just can't seem to get it.. Using MSAA in this game has a massive performance hit for aforementioned reasons; namely the fact that the engine uses deferred rendering which uses a lot of bandwidth and resources. Adding MSAA, another resource hogger into the mix and the frame rate will plunge..
No current GPU can avoid this steep penalty.
Prediction on current events? it's already a rag, prediction would have been months ago when they said it was still on the Anvil engine.. sorry beat ya to it.I predict this game will fail epicly!
That is all.
It looks like Ubisoft is trying to save face in light of this debut debacle. They've announced that the Dead Kings DLC will be free for all users. Also, if you've already purchased the Season Pass, you will now receive a free Ubisoft game. Your first thought is probably, "Oh, it's just some old junk...." You may want to take a look at the list:.
On to the next rat pelletSo, I finished all those stupid nostradamus enigma quests. the outfit is just a skin? no attributes at all? what a ripoff! I spent hours doing that!
