Nightmare might never their previous prediction, Ubisoft as mortgaging their good name in 2014 yesterday. After harsh criticism over the quality of Watch Dogs that were not comparable to what they promised in advance, especially for the PC version, Ubisoft must deal with the fact that even much worse. The annual game is supposed to be their spearhead in the gaming industry - Assassin's Creed become the playthings of the masses. Apart from the claim that he would be able to become the foundation for the series Assassin's Creed latest generation, Unity had to struggle with so many technical problems were fatal. Nothing else can be done Ubisoft besides apologizing, trying to improve the game through a series of aftershocks patch, and provide compensation. For the latter, "apology" Ubisoft finally arrives.
To show their seriousness to apologize, Ubisoft has finally decided to eliminate their paid DLC - Dead Kings to all gamers who buy AC Unity, on any platform. While gamers who have purchased a Season Pass her in the beginning, the right to choose one among several new game titles Ubisoft freely. Fulfilling that promise, the first DLC AC Unity - Dead Kings finally begin to be distributed with the data size is large enough, along with the content that is claimed to reach 5 hours of extra game.
The question now is whether the compensation is commensurate with the free DLC that has been done Ubisoft error against AC Unity? Is he able to offer a different experience? This review will discuss it in for you.
Plots
All the great adventure, tragedy, and the complexity of life had to face during the Assassin's Creed Unity finally made Arno - the main character falls to the conclusion that a more selfish. He wanted to run from Paris, France, who was yet to find stability, especially after the collapse of the government. Full of atmosphere of despair, Arno asked for help the friend - Marquis de Sade to give access to the Egyptians, escape from all the memory circuits for which Paris is like a nightmare goes live. Unfortunately, this request itself was not easy. Sade asks Arno perform a final task as reciprocity - find a rare artifact.
Taking a smaller setting at the edge of Paris, Arno commenced an investigation action to meet the demand of De Sade. Of all the information he had, it is likely that the answer he encountered were in the tomb of the king who had eaten a reply from the people he hurt - King Louis XVI. The tomb is now inviting the looters is believed to contain a larger series of roads that lead to secret desired by Sade. However, this action actually bring more surprises and mysteries.
Additional content Not Significant
For a DLC that was planned to be paid, the price is quite high, of course, be something rational for us to anticipate strong meaningful content for Dead Kings this. Should not offer significant gameplay changes or the like, a story that expand the role and identity as an Assassin Arno alone should have been enough to justify DLC for gamers to glance at this one. But what will you get? A relief. Relief that arises not because this DLC meet all your expectations, but the fact that you are spared from Ubisoft attempts to draw more money without commensurate content. There was relief that you can enjoy this content for free, with a negative perspective.
With a smaller city and the content side mission fewer, AC Unity - Dead Kings is still offering the sale value that has become a force in the series headliner. The quality visualization and lighting capable feast for the eyes are still found here, especially with some of the details of existing landmarks. But in terms of content, you can not expect much more. AC Unity - Dead Kings is arguably as a melting pot of diverse sales value Unity in the same mission. You will still be faced with a mission that focuses on stealth action, stalking a specific target, open battle, and of course - a myriad of puzzles that can be solved with a little squeeze of the brain. Side offered additional mission did not provide significant added value. Dead Kings Assassin's Creed Unity is still you know, just with a different setting and story.
Ubisoft does look strive to offer something new through Lantern concept. With more mission focuses on the figure Arno is now forced to adventure in the underground tunnels and tombs in the dark, he will now be equipped with a lamp as a light source. But not just for light, lantern can also be turned on or off manually to repel a variety of small animals that might impede the motion of your main roads, such as rodents, insects, up to bat. This lantern also be spearheading some of the latest puzzle mechanism, than just turning on the light source in a particular coherently, to look for alternative ways to ensure your lantern does not fall into the water. A simple mechanism which unfortunately, did not contribute much. These lanterns did not leave any impact.
In terms of action Arno, not too many things you can expect. The only cool of this DLC is the presence of new, more lethal weapons for you to use - Guillotine Gun. Perception you are mistaken if you imagine a weapon with sharp edges to behead the enemy unfortunately, is not allowed in AC Unity gameplay. Guillotine Gun is a blend of two-handed ax and a mobile mortar weapons, like the grenade launcher to injure an enemy on a large scale in an instant. Cool design and function are fun to use is the sale value of these weapons. But if you expect a historical sensation of the French Revolution more rational, this is precisely the existence of weapons of AC Unity increasingly distanced from the impression.
Significant additional content is exacerbated by the challenge that is also not comparable. Varian new enemies in AC Unity: Dead Kings, the Raiders are positioned as a tomb raider actually appear much easier than the enemies you face in the series original Unity. HP comes with a number of smaller and block actions that are rarely, you can kill any of these Raiders instantly without experiencing difficulty. The new extra challenges arise if they are present in large quantities and attack you with the Counter-attacks its timing, is far shorter than the other variants Arno enemy. One thing is certain, there is no full swing to kill the "residents" who was present as without this resistance.
So what can be drawn from the AC Unity - Dead Kings this? Ubisoft that this is an attempt to get the extra money failed. Addition of experience is not significant, the content of which has not changed much, the story is somewhat forced, none of the elements that will make you fall in love with this one DLC. If there is one comment that could come out of this DLC? "Lucky for free!". Because if you have to pay some money to get something like this? There are so many indie games or legacy more deserving to receive "donations" of money you are.
Two Months Later ..
Another question that also provoke curiosity necessarily revolve around how effective the process improvements made by Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Unity this. Play it on Playstation 4, some large-sized patch is already been leveled, including those measuring more than 6 GB some time ago. Dead Kings own size ranges from 8 GB, data is large enough for a game that could be completed in under three hours, if you are a gamer who prefers chasing the main story. So, how Unity sensation upon our return to Paris? Are there any significant improvements as long as it promised?
Unfortunately, all these answers should end with the word "No", especially of the sensation we sampled Dead Kings to finish. Framerate may feel more stable, but still decline to make the game uncomfortable when positioned Arno in the middle of a battle or a particular action. Classical problems AC Unity as the motion of the NPC unrealistic, such as walking on a pile of barrels or appear in a game all of a sudden, are still visible. One of the most distressing was the emergence of some glitch in the game. We both fought against the one enemy that decides to be quiet and just to see, when we Gun Guillotine ax lodged in the neck of his friends. Rather disappointing to see that the problem of this kind of problem still appears after a variety of claims thrown Ubisoft over the past few months.
Two months later, and they still have not got the right formula to offer the sensation of Assassin's Creed is different. Dead Kings is still a matter of opening a map, complete side missions that still revolves about stalking or killing people, and the conclusion that the story is not strong. If they want to restore the rule of Assassin's Creed as one of the best open world games on the market, Ubisoft had a lot of homework great. Assassin's Creed Victory will be a proving ground, a battlefield that is interesting to follow in 2015.
Conclusion
Hats off to Ubisoft to finally choose to distribute DLC - Dead Kings is free of charge to the owners of Assassin's Creed Unity were disappointed. That of all the policies that they are following, this DLC is the answer to the most rational as a form of apology, to show the clear intention to improve itself. But unfortunately, not like this sensation we get when tasting Dead Kings as the original owner of AC Unity. Since the beginning of the game to finish, relief that we did not have to pay extra money for a piece of content that has no meaning at all should be regarded as the more dominant feeling. "Lucky for free", is constantly spinning in the brain. Inconceivable be a gamer who have to spend extra money to buy this DLC, while on the other hand, the same amount could give them a lot of indie games with quality experience even better.
Disappoint him, two months after its release, with a series of claims that they had previously spawned, AC Unity remains a problematic game. Various glitch and bug still seemed obvious, from the behavior of AI that actually makes this game far from realistic, to bugs and decrease the framerate is quite disturbing. Ubisoft is quite "dodgy", trying to juggle all these problems and suggests that it appears as a glitch of Animus own. But we are not dumb, and Ubisoft still has a lot of great work to resolve the tangled threads of this one.
Then, if the Dead Kings deserved to draw your time? To satisfy the curiosity, especially considering he distributed freely, then we end up with the word "Yes". But with one condition - if you do have internet without kuote with adequate speed. Why? Due to a size 8 GB DLC content, Dead Kings did not offer any new stuff. The desire to offer a different experience through the lantern system is not much help. Puzzle easy to handle, easy enemies killed, the story somewhat forced. The only reason is simply Guillotine Gun that looks cool, that's all. This DLC Pantaskah seized 8 GB bandiwth you? The decision is now in your hands.
The Verdict
Dead Kings offers a surprisingly large bundle of new content that expands and improves on some of the best aspects of Unity's gameplay. Despite a lackluster story and some unnecessary new obstacles, its large playable area and unique underground locations give you lots of opportunities to use its explosive new weaponry, hone your stealth or combat skills or simply experience more of what you enjoyed about Unity’s original release.
