Ubisoft Makes "Assassin's Creed Unity" Free in Honor of Notre-Dame de Paris

[FordGT90Concept]

I don't see an issue with 1 or 2 enemies at once, but after that it should feel more like you need to escape to survive.

Drop a smoke grenade and stab them all in the throat.

Jokes aside, this is a nice gesture.

If I didn't know you better, I'd be irritated by your joking. However I do know you better and know that there is no malice in your comments. And I have to agree. This is very generous of Ubisoft and a wonderful gesture indeed. 500,000Euros is nothing to sneeze at.

NotreDame will be rebuilt and restored. From what I've read, it was being renovated as it was and much on the internal ornaments and furnishings were removed already. So only the structure was damaged. Still, that's going to be a lot of work.

The game has been assimilated.

What do we have to burn to get Metro Exodus for free ?

It's a complex bind of history, culture, religion and tradition. Many people form connections through such places and to many, they are reverential.
It's easy to dismiss the importance of an object but if that object has bound lives together, or has been a symbol of hope, it's often seen as indispensable.

Played AC series for the story. Never liked the jumping/climbing part in any game, but they made it easier since AC2 compared to the original.

For some reason, I really can't get the motivation to play any more AC games. 1 and 2 were the last AC games I have finished. The rest, I try it out first few hours and just can't continue playing it. I end up watching youtube for the story summary instead.

Its interesting, companies will ask for a donation yet they have plenty already to donate. If anything they should give a percentile if and when they recondition the building.

I don't mind the AC franchise - it just got a bit tiresome with combat never really changing and you feel like a super hero when you can take on a dozen+ enemies and walk away without taking any damage.

It would have been nice to see combat streamlined to a point where you can't be some super badass and take on a battalion of troops at the same time. I don't see an issue with 1 or 2 enemies at once, but after that it should feel more like you need to escape to survive.

I grabbed a copy and may eventually get around to it. I figure it'll be something I can killing some time on when I get bored.

I like the AC series for the most part too, how ever got sick of bothering checking on them for a sale as they seem to manage to hit you up for the DLC's and make it a 2+yo game with DLC's for $60+.

This is a nice thing to do but before i look i am wondering if they hitting people up for the DLC's for the so called free game ?.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

You don't need the DLCs to explore Notre Dame.

You no longer need to follow the link. The free AC Unity can be selected and downloaded from within the Uplay launcher/store. I just downloaded it for my wife’s Uplay account to add my personal verification.

Great, Elite's "Utopia" factions databank is becoming a reality...

Moscow, possibly St. Petersburg (not the one in FL).

We encourage all of you who are interested to donate as well.

Aaa, no.

Not sure why people are donating when insurance should cover it.

Insurance would never cover the huge cost of restoring historical structures. Many countries that have old, historical structures that are registered have requirements about exact standards of authenticity that must be adhered to. These are not the kind of things insurance covers.

I don't know that it was insured. Even so, they're going to want to make it better than it was (e.g. replace wood with steel).

Any builder undertaking work must have liability insurance, and as they started the fire, they are liable for the repairs.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Very true, assuming they can pin the fire on the people that were renovating.

Which they cannot if France’s historical preservation laws are as strict as they are here in the U.S.

 

[64K]

From what I've read on financial sites the contractors may be found liable but their insurance (AXA) will only cover a fraction of the cost to restore Notre Dame. The company has pledged €10 million. Additionally The French State is self-insured for Notre Dame. It has no insurance to pay the cost. Ultimately the French government is on the hook for the bulk of the expense and that is why individuals and corporations are donating funds for the restoration. It's always good to see people stepping up to help with the cost of restoring something that they care deeply about.

[rtwjunkie]

Just giving away money is nothing more than a temporary stopgap to end poverty, and wouldn’t end it anyway. Not unless that money was given indirectly in support of various business ventures which would employ more people. And that wouldn’t do it either.

Since free handouts and additional businesses providing more jobs won’t do it, so what do you suggest? Something I learned early in one of my careers from the boss: don’t bring me just a problem, being me several solutions as well.

Ah, Nice being the boss. Don't have to do the hard work of coming up with solutions. Only taking the credit.

Being the boss isn't all that it's cracked up to be. You also have to take the blame from your superiors when your staff fails on an assignment.

Lol, you misunderstood me. My second-line imparted that wisdom on me early in my first career. I’ve carried it with me in both follower and leader roles over the years, and it’s a great premise to keep.

Believe me, I know all about it.

I know what you meant.
