Downloading AC:Unity now

[Art Blade]

???

phew.. I have a slightly better download speed. Estimated less than 7 hours. Those of you with a really fast download will probably not even notice it..

[PZ]

 :o

I'm glad that I'm picking up the physical media!

[Art Blade]

 :)

The actual download is some 37GB, but apparently it will decompress when installing the game.

[PZ]

Can you imagine fragger trying to make that kind of a download on his old connection!  ???

[Art Blade]

That would have been subject for an inscription on his tomb stone or at least the eulogy, like "he passed away while waiting for a long download to finish." :-D

[PZ]

That would have been subject for an inscription on his tomb stone...

... or maybe the tombstone of his internet provider if he ever caught up with him  :-()

[Art Blade]

damn, I was still editing that post! :-()

Yep. "Here rests fragger's ISP who died during an unprecedented act of barbaric violence." :-D

[PZ]

How much more time before you get in to the game?  ????

[Art Blade]

as of right now, quoting steam store,

Available: 12 November
This game will unlock in approximately 2 days and 0 hours

[PZ]

I can pick it up at 9PM PST this evening, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow - it's cold outside  :-()

[Art Blade]

weird, those different localised release dates. However, can't change it. Right then, you grab that game when you can, I am downloading as one of the first people to do so -- hopefully still before the "gold rush" starts. So far, I'm downloading at maximum capacity, looks good. :-X

[PZ]

Well, I'm excited that even though we're not on the same platform, we'll be playing the same game for a change

[Art Blade]

fingers crossed, my rig has yet to prove that it can. But yes, if it works, it's going to be fun to play the same NEW game, for a change :) :-X

I'd love to be playing AC:U with you guys but unfortunately I fell behind one AC game. I am now waiting for AC:BF to go on sale in a month or so to buy it cheap and only then play it in parallel to the other AC games (currently playing Brotherhood from start since I lost my save game where I was about 3/4 through with A LOT of collectibles done  :'( )

By the time I'm through Unity will be at the bargain bin as well and you will be all fed up with his game  :-\\

But I'm glad we are living times where there are so many good Assassin's Creed games to choose form  8)

I was just thinking of the 55 gb install size.  When I first started video gaming, and played FC2 as my first game, my PS3 had a 40 gb hard drive.  FC2 hardly occupied any of the space  ???

[Art Blade]

yep :) After the download, the information on my steam download was "39.1GB downloaded."

Hey JRD.. skip all the old stuff and go backwards, starting with ACU  :-D


Here is a new nVidia driver with ACU optimisation. WHQL, version # 344.65

Hey JRD.. skip all the old stuff and go backwards, starting with ACU  :-D

That's exactly what I was thinking - AC:5 has nothing to do with the story line of prior versions.  AC3,4,5 each have their own separate heroes

[Art Blade]

and JRD, you'd be on the same page with us -- same game, same time :-()

[JRD]

I might... I could... I can... maybe I will!  ;D

I just want to pay a fair price for it. I can play AC:BF while the price on AC:U drops. It's a bit salty here in Brazil!  ::)

[Art Blade]

God damn it :D >:((

I love how Ubi is able to suprise you every time.

[PZ]

 ???

It's probably a new patch with a bunch of fixes... at least that's what we can think it must be because Ubisoft is such a caring company

[PZ]

... and then they will issue a patch to fix the patch

[Art Blade]

just checked, in my steam download it now reads "unpacking" (37GB) -- what a nice packing/unpacking algorithm that takes 25+ minutes to unpack 37GB to an estimated 55GB >:((
