CohhCarnage, a well-known streamer, uncovered a series of technical issues in the newly released Assassin’s Creed game during a recent livestream. His gameplay revealed several glaring bugs, including a raccoon locked in a T-pose and numerous texture glitches that broke immersion in the game’s historical world.
The stream quickly gained attention as viewers watched CohhCarnage navigate through environmental issues and graphical errors. One particularly memorable moment featured wildlife frozen in unnatural positions while textures around them failed to load properly.
“Standard Ubisoft slop with some story in the beginning and at the end,” wrote one viewer, echoing a common criticism. “With most of the game being a generic soulless open world filled with barely working game mechanics.”
This release adds to Ubisoft’s growing reputation for launching unpolished products. The Assassin’s Creed franchise, which began in 2007, has faced similar criticism with previous titles despite its popularity and commercial success.
Many players expressed frustration with what they see as an industry trend. “Games are now purchased and tested by the playerbase,” one gamer noted. “Long gone are the days of hiring qualified testers for games.”
Not all feedback has been negative, though. Some players have reported bug-free experiences. “I played about 10 hours last night and didn’t find a single bug or glitch,” claimed one enthusiast. “Probably my fav Assassin’s Creed game in the franchise.”
Open-world games like Assassin’s Creed are particularly prone to launch issues due to their scale and complexity. The interaction of numerous systems can create unexpected problems that are difficult to catch during development.
Ubisoft typically addresses these issues through post-launch patches, a practice that has become standard but remains controversial. Critics argue this approach treats paying customers as beta testers, while defenders see it as a necessary reality of modern game development.
