kitekrazy Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 I don't have this one yet. Thanks! This is not a great AC title but it is free. 1
Fleer Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 It’s a beauty. My son’s been playing it all week (while he should be studying). 2
husker Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Thanks Abacab. I've only played AC Black Flag, which I thought was good. Couldn't get into AC III, so looking forward to this. Edited April 24, 2019 by husker 1

I loved the graphics for the Caribbean waters and the ships! But I haven't really spent much time with it yet. Now I have both to catch up on. Looking forward to the historical scenery of Paris!
kitekrazy Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Black Flag is one of the best. I was surprised I didn't see this offer since I get Ubi's emails. Edited April 24, 2019 by kitekrazy

I didn't get an email either. I just stumbled across the info at bleeping computer's news. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/gaming/get-assassins-creed-unity-for-free-in-honor-of-notre-dame/

JoeGBradford Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Is this a free standing game (with single player option) or do you have to have an earlier version of AC?
JoeGBradford Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Ah damn I'm too late anyway! It's still 25 April here!
ZincT Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Thanks abacab! Pretty nice! 49Gb download but it plays after 39Gb and continues to load in the background. I don't have any other versions and it's playing as single player just fine.

In the OP I quoted the deal timeline as "From April 17th at 10:00 am to April 25th at 03:00 am (your local time)". It is still April 25th here too, but well past 03:00, and the deal is showing as expired also.
JoeGBradford Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 You did indeed. I should have read it properly. Been off the PC due to dodgy shoulder so a new game probably wouldn't have been a good idea anyway! ? 1

I think that since many newer games have embraced the "open world" or "free roaming" concept, rather than a more linear gameplay, they now require many more GB of scenery and textures for hi-res rendering of boundless realistic 3D worlds. I have found that keeping installed games to a bare minimum of "favorites" or current titles, is the only way to maintain a decent amount of free space. If you have unlimited data and a fast connection, one option is to store the licenses on the game developers platform, and only download and install the games that are currently in use. That way the digital game content remains archived in the "cloud", available to download and play at any time.
kitekrazy Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Game developers are lazy. A good developer can make a great game under 30gb. Just Cause 2 is under 8gb and is still impressive.
