I have been waiting for this to go on sale with the consoles but I have a really good gaming rig and can use my dualshock to play it on PC.

I hate Uplay, but this is a damn good deal. Anyone have experience with the PC version?

I just got it for PS4 the other day from Gamefly, on Sequence 3, really enjoying it.

Yeah I would never buy it just because after I beat it I'll never touch it again or have any interest to but for $30 I'd probably do it.

If the alternative is paying 50-60 for PS4 especially.

It's fine for PC, just the engine is poorly optimized for PC , so depending on your graphics card you may have to play at console-level settings for a reasonable frame rate.

Damnit why cant this be on steam instead. Uplay is worse than origin.

I have no trouble with uplay other than having another login, they give you perks you can use to buy get stuff for achievements too. It may have been a mess at one time, but now it's just another game service, imo.

My Uplay games on Steam still require Uplay sign-in, good luck.

No problem with having to sign in to that. I just want all my downloads through one of these distributions as possible. I am happy to keep getting Uplay rewards.

I now know what you mean... I would have been fine with the game logging into the uplay account but having to launch from uplay is absurd.

I almost got it for $40 on Amazon. They had it around there during the holiday.

I got it with my graphics card, and I'm really enjoying it. It's gorgeous game. If you have a card that can push it to it's limits, it's no contest. That said, what really is?

I recently upgraded to a 7970 and an i7 with 8 gigs ram so I am loving PC games right now.

I am going to finish darksiders 2 and far cry 3 before I jump into AC though.

It plays better on keyboard and mouse. It is the only AC game worth a damn on a PC. See you in 40 to 50 hours.
