    Not suprised that this game needs a brute of a PC

    ..to run good. There are literally 100s of people on the screen wherever you go and giant crowds of people everywhere. You know how much CPU and GPU it takes to process and draw all of those objects and to constantlyy modify there positon in the engine. Plus the fact is the graphics are about the best your going to find in a game at the moment. I don't think you are going to find a system that can run this at ultra with a constant 60 FPS. Its truly nextgen. Because its made for next years PC. Not this years.

    Not as well as you thought. Those specs won't happen til 2019. But then 3 years after, we'll have VR, Nervegears and SAO so those would be obsolete.

    Your damage control posts are funny. You cannot defend a failed release. Hell, even BBC of all is reporting on it.

    PC port is unoptimized, buggy and the game would be better off if they delayed it for another 6 months. I'm getting slowdowns even when there's 3 people on the screen including Arno.
    Check the user score for all 3 platforms on metacritic(2.1 PC,3.3 XO,4.4 PS4). I hope they feel the punch from the gaming crowd and learn their lesson for the next release.

    don't play it dallaboo.But if you think they will not make a ton of money on this game your mistaken. Thats the only lesson they care about is how much money they make.The fact that people are complaining doesn't matter one bit as long as it doen't effect there bottom line. People are going to keep on buying these games regardless of what Ubisoft does. You'll be first in line for the next one they release. Assasins Creed games and Far Cry games are 2 of the biggest sellers in the software industry and they will continue to be.

    So why is it released this year? Bit dumb don't ya think? Like releasing a PS4 game a year before the PS4.

    And it willl run fine on PC's after optimisation patches. If Rome 2 could allow me 60FPS with thousands on screen after patching I'm sure Ubi can

    It use to be many games would require ungodly future hardware, but that pretty much changed around the late 1990s with Half Life where low end hardware could run the game. You should have seen Origin. Every time a new Origin game came out (Ultima, Wing Commander, etc.), you pretty much had to shell out 5 grand or more for a new PC if you wanted any attempt at playing it.

    I think it's a bit like Crysis... when that came out my PC played it like a slideshow... but a year later when I had upgraded my PC I got it out and it was awesome... it was made to be tough on PC's but now most PC's will play it and I think it is still used in some benchmark reviews. I would imagine Unity will also be used in the future.

    The graphics are the best you'll find in any game? Hardly...

    They look great, but in any case do they justify the hardware necessary to run it smoothly.
