Both Chicago in Watch Dogs and Paris in AC Unity were wonderfully created.  Ubisoft are great at creating environments.  Just a shame both games lacked story depth, interesting characters, and are marred with issues.  It's likely THE DIVISION will fall into the same trap.

The artists did an amazing job as always. But they were let down by the technical side of things.

Assassin's Creed Unity is a fantastic game! Yes it has bugs, but it does not have as many as people have been saying it has. I've noticed very "few" bugs in my experience playing the game. I also have had so much fun as well. I've played Co-Op with random people and it was a blast. I encourage people to get this game. Like I said before, it does NOT have as any bugs/glitches as many people say it does. Also, Ubisoft will fix these bugs with patches. This is just a really fun game and I encourage everyone who has been a fan of Assassin's Creed in the past to get it. Also if you are new to Assassin's Creed I also encourage you to get it as well. You will defiantly enjoy it!

When you live in a world where the majority of social interaction is through texting instead of face to face in the flesh, it is easy to forget that behind every monicker is a living breathing human being with feelings. 

It is all to easy to be a troll when you are a faceless entity with a screen name that the worst consequences of your words and actions is that it will stir up the other haters and get the desired result of negative attention.

My experience has shown me that folks that grew up in an age when telephones had cords and no one had a personal computer that people treated each other better, had manners and common courtesy. When you don't have to experience the repercusions of your behavior you will dare more inappropriate and harmful behavior.

All the hate on ACU is stupid, it's an amazing game, it goes back to the roots of AC and I love it, roaming around a huge city is what I love and with the new co op and character customisation i couldn't ask for much more, its great

[nicklawrence]

the amoubt of work that goes into games is unreal.

[MrMustardfinger]

I really enjoy the Reality Check series.  Its rare for a games journalist to report of the technical side of games. Keep up the good work Cam & co!

I've been playing the game. I haven't gotten any bad glitches. I did fall through the floor once which I found hilarious cause all I did was slide over a table. I haven't gotten the no faces or anything. Frame rate drops I've gotta too but the world is gorgeous. All the people and detail is amazing. I think people are really hating on Ubisoft too and just focusing on the bad. Name a game that was prefect on release. There isn't one. Name a game that built a big world with a lot of detail and tons of people in the street. This is the first on a new engine there using. I expected glitches. Especially with everything going on. I can't write code and could never make such an amazing environment. It would be great for it to be prefect but no game is prefect when it releases.

I can't wait for next week! This show is always so awesome

i dont think anyone will disagree that the scenery and overall art direction of AC unity is pretty.  Which is sad, because all the bugs with AC unity just ruin in.   I play it on PC, so i can power through a lot of the frame rate issues .  Been able to  find a configuration that doesn;t  drop below 30 fps and for the most part rides at 45 fps.    But the control bugs and random crashes etc... still make the game frustrating.

I am absolutely in love with this game, and the setting is one of the biggest reasons why.

My step dad lived in Paris for couple years he is blown away and he is teaching the language to. It does have problems but some news needs updates some don't. Making videos take along time to make and I am not talking about indie games.

I have First Hand Experience and this Game is Beautiful . Immersive and Badass!

[EllieApperley]

Even with its bugs, you've got to applaud Ubisoft for churning the AC games out so fast, and making them look so beautiful. I'm studying Game Art Design at University and I've learned how much work goes into making one small insignificant building, and they're making 1:1 scale landmarks with breathtaking interiors! I'm amazed. I can only dream of being able to work on a game like this one day!

[tech]

Good video. The buildings look amazing

[kbgila]

Although this game has many problems technically and story wise. Paris is simply the most beautiful game world I have ever experienced...

We ALL said while playing GTA over the years ever since GTA3, Imagine if we could go inside the houses? and now you can!

People are seeing all the negative stuff about this game and don't realise how freakin revolutionary it actually is.

[saiyanninjawarriorz]

Wow the last two episodes of this show have been especially good.

This video feels life PR for the game.... And NOT a episode of RealityCheck.

[amoblack]

These episodes of reality check can be very helpful to me, especially since i may write a video game story one day.
