This is a old post from me on the Telltale forum and if people ever wondered why I hated AC Unity well this:
1. The save slots, I can't replay the game without deleting my other save but Ubisoft didn't bother to put a delete button on it anyway so I had to use Youtube to find out how to delete it.
2. The Main menu of the game gives me one big headache 3. The opening soundtrack of the menu basicly all the soundtrack in the game is bad and forgetable. 4. They wasted the setting of the game. 5. The game starts with telling you your in a video game... Oke wtf why are the Assassin's an ancient order I remind you that exist pre human history hacking video game consoles? the game doesn't even bother explaining really I always thought AC was about reliving the life of your ancestor but now it's a video game console... 6. The British voice acting got on my nerve of almost snapping everyones neck in the game I'M IN ******* FRANCE WHY IS EVERYONE BRITISH (I had to look up for the expanded universe for the answer), it doesn't help that 99% of the game characters are incredible fasinating bad that you could just study them not to write characters. Unity has made me HATE British voice acting in all of gaming and I have started to like AC3 with immense pleasure more knowing I am killing British people! (not insulting British people here just game characters). 7. The cover of the game is decent but makes no sense with the overal expierence of the AC game if you don't play multiplayer. 8. The multiplayer is incredible bad if you are playing with people who aren't your friends. 9. Almost everything in France is the same looking structure! the light effects don't help. 10. Arno's design (main protagonist) while cool looking is very stupid in the open World, Altair could easily hide with his clothes and Ezio could hide in Venice with eas... Arno's clothes don't fit any place he goes while the other characters do have fitting clothes that fit the area's they are in. 11. Every cutscene is shot in places that could easily be everywhere else they have no value to the overal story but that has to do with the story part I guess. 12. The loading scenes are black and boring to look at! 13. The NPC's are in my way and way to dumb 14. The AI sucks. 15. The stealth is broken! 16. Arno's climbing animation's are stupid! 17. The customization was decent but it failed like the game itself, why do you give me hundreds of weapons if I am only gonna use 3 through out the game anyway and even if I used other weapons they function all the same 18. They are no fist fights 19. There is no weapon weal 20. They removed several options like pet the dog. 21. The skill tree is garbage and useless, how can an adult not know that! 22. ARNO NEEDS UPGRADES TO SIT ON A BENCE AND TO STAB TWO PEOPLE THAT IS ONE POINT ON IT'S OWN 23. I had to use 4 accounts to complete the game 100% on day one cause Ubisoft is trying to prevent me from playing the game? 24. Combat is harder by removing killing spree and human shield which makes the combat just to be a downgrade version of the other games. 25. Arno's character design not his outfit but his look he has an Ezio clone look 26. It's Arnaud not Arno but we had to reference AC2 the river in Florence yeah this game started to make me hate Ezio slowly. 27. Helix points are useless don't bother 28. The map is overstuffed with side missions nobody cares about they are so uninspired and boring. 29. Paris isn't even that big if you ask me just overstuffed it feels like a village to me. 30. The game is so extreme historical inaccurate the game could take place in The Lord of the Rings universe. 31. The frame rate is awful. 32. Arno doesn't go everywhere I want him to go JUST GO INTO THE DAMN firetruckING BUILDING 33. Arno puts his weapons away in battle this lead to my dead multiple times. 34. There are glitches still to this day 35. There are random prostitues on the street cause... Reasons he remember they had a function in AC2, Brotherhood, AC4? 36. The historical database from the games feel not inspired at all. 37. When you look at the background most of the times characters have less detail than you which would make sense untill they are supposed to be on screen like ther Assassin Bellec was in the corner with a low texture model but when the camera went to him the model was replaced with a better one I noticed it. 38. When you become an Assassin the Assassin's give you drugs and the hole section is inspired by Batman Arkham City but than a shitty version AKA look up Assassin's Creed Unity: The Rant Trilogy Part 3 around the three minute mark. 39.During cutscenes random NPC's walk through the characters and talk over the characters the game is focused on so the game forced everyone to use subtitles so far I know 40.The lock picking I hate it like seriously it's terribly stupid there is no skill required. 41.He remember when you went to multiple city's? Yeah I remember that except in Brotherhood and Revelations but from my expierence Brotherhood was an actual city to me and it was bigger, you had to use horses in that game to get agrose the city instead in Unity that forces you to go over roof tops and easier and faster to get at the end of the city and not in a good way. 42. Some transitaioms between cutscenes and gameplay is awful because characters have not been loaded yet so they just pop in here and there and that probably has to do with the amount of NPC's still when the camera switches Arno's clothes fly around like a ADHD person. 43. The world of AC Unity handles everyone who is poor as a dumb piece of shit human being and one of my friends s poor so I feel offended. 44. The enemy types in the game are all the same, I never really liked that in any of the AC games but this time I can't even tell if some of them have a better rang, they either are big/fat and all fight the same anyway. 45. Arno Dorian is official the Worst written character I have ever seen in any kind of media. 46. The story is the worst written piece of shit I have ever EVER witnessed in my life! I AM REAL WITH YOU! Just speaking of the story jus makes me angry and mad I wish the person who wrote this garbage is banned from video games or anything related to writing in general! I am so impressed by the shitty writing that I still keep bitching on it today, what surprises me for a story that is so bad written is that it had 4 years the time to be written but feels more like a draft from a 8 year old who only played AC2 for like 15 minutes. I can't understand how a human being would like this story except if you turn of your brain maybe but if you really think this story is good or emotional... You are hurting my soul, I feel so bad that people walk around claiming that this has a good story or is just decent this story is a step back in human evolution! One of the worst parts on the marketing team is that the mislead you and they said if you haven't played the previous games that you would understand it. No you don't beside the main character wants to kiss his step sister every second cause... He has an obsession with her? I felt no love at all. 47. There was no Modern Day: I have noticed in AC games where this is no Modern Day that the story of the game has hardly any impact on the world in AC and this game has non so this story shouldn't exist to begin with hell I was worried what was going on outside the simulation part more than the actual historical parts and what I also find distracting is that Ubisoft seems to try to forget that it even exist... So you want me to forget 5/6 years of lore? The Modern Day gives an actual reason to visit these times in history and if you remove it you get a Episodic game structure where most of the story's just don't matter anyway why would I bother with the Origins of the Brotherhood if I know what happens in AC1 and etc. Modern Day was the one thing that hooked me on this franchise when I was a kid and still today, it gave some great context also to the hole theme of that you should decide if you believe something because the winners wrote the history books and could change things, does our free will have to do with our DNA etc I thought this really worked well with the AC topics of Freedom VS Order.
But all of this could be fixed now but I haven't checked your thoughts please:)
