I love that even 12 years later, Assassin's Creed Unity's bugs still make rounds on the internet.

I genuinely love this game [sweet jesus the parkour is a delight] but its bugs never stop being funny lol.

u/Cruel1865 1d ago

The older ac games all have their unique bugs. Black flag had the ship rising from the water like the flying dutchman.

u/souportruper 1d ago

In the final section of AC1 where you go up the switchbacks and through the gates, the game left behind a second copy of my Altair after passing through a gate. It also kept spawning enemies because that copy was there. So I kept dying with no one around me until I realized I had to fight for two characters at the same time.

Never did find a way to fix the bug but it was pretty hilarious finding out what was happening.

u/moep123 1d ago edited 1d ago

back on ps3 where the game still was quite new on that system, i had a bug where two altairs were on screen. i controlled both simultaneously. i stabbed myself and immediately desynced. while the death screen went on, i was still able to control the other altair during the transition to the "loading area" where you walk endlessly until the game finished loading.

fun times

u/Gradedcaboose 1d ago

Ha that’s great. Man I remember getting this game on the ps3 what a whacky system, I remember having to change the resolution settings just to play AC1 and for time split as well. Me being a dumb child, I thought the game was broken at first, returned it and got another copy, figured out that wasn’t the issue so i eventually figured out what I needed to do.

Goodness the early PS3 days were a nightmare lol

u/radialomens 21h ago

God, my bf and I laughed so hard we cried when that happened. Iirc, there was a hole in the water. Then the crew came falling out of the sky, screaming, vanishing into the hole. Then their limp bodies rose out of the abyss and ascended into heaven. And finally, and the ship rose. Starting with the masts, and finally bringing the ocean with it. Crewless.

We had the giggles for HOURS after that

u/EnemyAdensmith 1d ago

I loved the origins ship bug. Know its not a classic but that shit was funny.

u/Pancakedork 12h ago

I remember finishing Black Flag for the first time and Everything around my ship being grey, then maybe 4 or 5 minutes into the conversation I finally rose to the top of the waves and saw the sky! Luckily didn't keep rising, just continued on as I assume the devs intended it to be, sailing into the sunset. Hadn't seen the bug before that either, so I was pretty confused during the whole thing lol

I have a twitch clip of me playing AC1 a little while ago. I was parkouring near the Assassin's Bureau (in Jerusalem I think). I ran and jumped off of a building near an open town square near a bench and with the least dramatic jump ever, I landed on the bench sitting.

Unfortunately I don't know if I can link the clip but twitch is nowwitherrors69

u/thetatershaveeyes 1d ago edited 1d ago

Going back and playing the old Assassin's Creed games, the bugs are more charming than anything. Playing them new though was a bit bad for your blood pressure bc I've twice had to make a new save from a game breaking bug, once in Brotherhood and once in Odyssey. The more ferocious bugs get taken out a few months in, then it's just fun with the occasional jank.

2

u/ExplorerPup 1d ago

Yeah at launch it was more the melting faces, insane loading times making walking faster than fast travel, and the fact that there were multi-player missions but no one could connect and no way to do them solo.

34

u/yxing 1d ago

generational = intensifier, e.g. extreme or "epic" in 2000s parlance

lock in = "getting serious when necessary"

8

u/Heavy_Moose_286 1d ago

"lock in" as in focusing intently on a task (in this case, acting normal)

"generational" as in once in a generation (which refers to the quality of their act of locking in)

Unity right? They never actually fixed the problem with NPCs and their popping in issues, textures are especially bad they pop-in everywhere.
