So what's your single core Tanuki and what frame rates do you get?


When you are just running around it hovers around 50. When all hell breaks lose it can get as low as 20.

LOL, except for the Kangaroo robots I could get into a mod like that! The one thing that makes me wonder if AC is worth my while is the forced used of stealth like in Hitman, Double Agent, etc. I like to have bloodier more action filled options to explore, especially in a game where you can climb anything pretty quickly to escape then dive 30' down onto a hay cart and get lost in a crowd.

You never really have to use stealth, it's just harder to fight, supposedly... but not really because combat is pretty simple in AC.

Someone do a DR for this game so I am not tempted to buy it.

I am not feeling AC right now. Maybe in a few months.

Get cracking.

Like in Hitman 2 you can avoid stealth, if you want to be gang attacked by mass amounts of enemies using poor aim, cover and run mechanics, only to get a mass murderer rating after completing the mission, blowing any chance of unlockables.

In Assassin's Creed you can probably add a slide show to the above tradeoffs of not using stealth because Ubi rather sucks at optimizing their games, the required spec tends to show that.

Great game... native WS support except it shows bars for 16:10 resolutions.

Game forces DX10 on compatible machines though, which is annoying.

Hello. I am currently working on this DR.

Thanks.

If you want DR credit for the Insiders feel free to steal mine.

Have a nice day.


:evil:

LOL, what exactly do you mean, troubles getting decent frame rates? I read last night that a rig that plays Crysis at respectable frame rates on Medium settings bogs down even on Low settings in Assassin's Creed.
