10 Video Games You Rage Quit Before Playing

10. Assassin's Creedy Unity (2014)

In the years leading up to Assassin’s Creed Unity, the franchise had been through a rollercoaster of highs and lows. The swash-buckling success of Black Flag was a breath of fresh air after the comparatively bland plot of Assassin’s Creed III. And with the lingering threads of Desmond’s storyline still hanging in the air, the next game, set during the French Revolution, was supposed to revolutionise the franchise, bringing it into the (then) next generation.

With massive crowds, a revamped control scheme and combat system, co-op missions, and sandbox assassinations, Unity was the revitalisation Assassin’s Creed needed. Unfortunately, though, this title did mre harm than good.

Instead of being remembered fondly for the bustling Parisian setting or protagonist Arno’s revenge narrative, Unity is still best known for the borderline unplayable state it launched in. The internet at the time was flooded with footages of the various issues plaguing the game. Characters would infamously have no faces, Arno would constantly fall through the map, and NPCs would get stuck in hilarious positions.

Despite Ubisoft’s efforts to remedy the situation, the damage was already done. Unity’s reputation was marred, and fans were likewise wary of picking up the far superior Syndicate the following year.
