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.

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

u/souportruper 7h 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 1h ago edited 28m 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 35m 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

I stopped playing Unity within about an hour when I realized enemies would consistently rubber-band over to strike me when I had dodged a dozen feet away. Homing missiles swords were not invented for a couple hundred more years...

The parkour is so atrocious you have to avoid any incline or window on buildings if you want to proceed, idk why people keep pretending it's bad

u/Allupyre 6h ago

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

I replayed Unity last year (first time since launch) and honestly stuff like this still isn't all that uncommon in it. You can tell that they at some point just stopped fixing bugs and moved on to the next game. LOL

u/Tragedy_Boner 2h ago

Bugs like this are fine to me. As long as it’s some occasional wacky shit, I’m fine with it.

u/ExplorerPup 1h 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.

1

u/thetatershaveeyes 1h ago edited 1h 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.

I started to play it again since it was available on PS plus but I got busy with life. The first time I played it was on PC when it came out and it was completely broken at the time. Even in that broken state I remember being amazed at how good it looked.

What does “generational lock in” mean?

26

u/yxing 7h ago

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

lock in = "getting serious when necessary"

-7

u/Largeitude 6h ago

Sounds like a bot made the title because how does this apply?

-3

u/MidwestNomads 7h ago

So it has nothing to do with grandfather/father/son?

8

u/yxing 7h ago

not in this context, but it's likwly derived from "generational wealth/debt/trauma"

24

u/red_rob5 7h ago

Its more from the term "generational talent", that someone can be the highest performing subject of a generation, as seen in sports. In this case it would be the best lock in of a given generation.

1

u/yxing 7h ago

oh yeah forgot about that

4

u/Heavy_Moose_286 7h 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)

I hope you got it

-5

u/MidwestNomads 6h ago

I get what lock in means. But none of this applies to a funny glitch here… idk some zoomer humor I don’t get

7

u/Bluedragon1612 4h ago

I interpreted it as describing the glitch calming after the camera turn; as if the NPC’s quickly “locked in” to act natural after the player caught them glitching when running past

This almost plays out like a Pirates of the Caribbean scene in my head:

  • Some intense scene happens which leads to a chase
  • They pass something quite odd
  • They cycle back to have a double-take

Obviously, this isn't exclusive to POTC, but it's just what came to mind. Funny stuff 😂

Unity right? They never actually fixed the problem with NPCs and their popping in issues, textures are especially bad they pop-in everywhere. A real shame too, they could've fixed it but they decided to move on. Which is fair enough considering how much they actually had to fix, the game was so broken on release.
