>It is a good life we lead, brother.
>The best. May it never change.
>And may it never change us.
Why is this the greatest intro to a game series ever?
Fuck man, all of Ezio's trilogy was GOAT.
Then Ubisoft went into shit.
>>342820162
Revelations wasn't as good as 2 and Brotherhood.
>>342820292
Noone fucking cares
>>342820162
ass creed should've ended there.
there was zero point in pushing a game so limited in gameplay.
>>342820292
But it was still better than any AC that came after that
>>342820069
because it's a nice way to establish ezio's character, that's why
literally all of the Assassin's Creed games beside this and Brotherhood were bad
before anyone says "what about Black Flag," you only liked it because of pirates, not assassins.
Did anyone else actually tear up when pic related happened?
Top 3 in no order
>2
>Black flag
>Syndicate
How DO we fix assassin's creed bros?I thought Syndicate was alright, but very forgettable
>>342820502
no, I never actually cared about the story in AC because how blatantly shallow it was written.
every time, it's feels, feels and more feels, all the while the story takes a big step back, seemingly building up to something, only to slap you in the face at the end.
>>342820292
It had the best trailer tho.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=753327AMNIM
>>342820506
2
Brotherhood
Black Flag
I wanted to say 1 because I fucking love the setting and the present day stuff in 1 is pretty neat compared to later installments but the gameplay has aged like ass
Fun fact: Ezio's brother was voiced by Adam Jensen. Go back and listen to it, you'll hear a bit of his characteristic rasp.
>>342820624
Go back to the original plan before AC3 fucked it up.
Revive Desmond somehow, and give him a PoE that lets him go back in time, attacking templars in key moments and changing history.
I hope they think long and hard about it and go back to the roots with the next title. The best part about these games was how you really "live" as this guy, go through their life and relationships.
And then it turned into
>YO INITIATE, REMEMBER, YOU'RE ONLY PLAYING A GODDAMN VIDEO GAME HERE, NOW GO TO THE CASH SHOP AND BUY YOURSELF THE ABILITY TO WALK LEL
>Making best girl marry and have a kid with a poo in loo
FUCKING DROPPED
Absolutely ruined her for me.
>>342820395
Black Flag and Unity are better.
>>342821074
That was so weird, they had like no chemistry at all throughout the whole game then all of a sudden they were in love with each other
>>342820162
revelations utter shit
brohood was scraping the bottom of the barrel, but at least Rome was a pleasant location wander around in
only 2 was good
>>342820069
It helps that Ezio is really likeable character, but I think it's the image of just screwing around with your bro + that REALLY good music that sells it.
(Not to mention the whole delayed title is pretty neat)
>>342820069
Because the exact opposite happened in the game story.
>>342820162
AC III was aight
AC BF was gold
AC Rogue was ok
AC France was le shoite
AC London was meh
>>342821486
More of Ubisofts forced pc shit
>>342820624
I feel like it's inherently fucked
the settings feel like wallpaper with all the same objectives and activities thrown around in
maybe the movie will give them some ideas how to handle future installments, because I'm tired of floating modern icons littered in past era locales, wallhack effects, missions spelling out their every move, leaving the player nothing to discover on their own
it's a clusterfuck of a series that never reached its potential, and its creators only took bad decisions with it
never played ASS Creed. Should I start with 1 or just skip to 2 or what?
>>342821950
1 feels more like a prototype to the final game that AC2 was since most of the game are 9 assassinations that you prepare for doing a bunch of repetitive tasks.
You should watch the ''movie'' version of AC1 or something and go for AC2.
You won't understand a thing if you go directly into 2.
>>342821950
People find one boring but I liked it. You could start with two if you like, iirc it
explains the story of one to you.
AC 2 >Brotherhood > Black Flag > AC 1 > Rogue > Revelations > dogshit > Syndicate > Unity > AC 3
>>342822173
the tasks were repetitive, but the assassinations were pretty much the highpoint of activities in the entire series
ACII had a more conventional (and boring) GTA formula where you were everyone's chore bitch and the assassinations were reduced to linear setpieces, rather than small arenas where it allowed for more freedom when and where to strike
Shame about Unity being a disaster because the setting was cool, the game looked amazing visually, the crowded streets were neat and I loved how you could give Arno pretty much any weapon.
Syndicate was pretty much a step down in almost every way but at least it was functional.
They still locked basic assassin moves behind a fucking retarded progression system like Unity did
>>342822751
>can customize every single part of your outfit in ACU
>can only choose your belt in ACS

>>342820162

Unity is perfectly functional too, just don't play games on launch day you dumbasses.

2. Black Flag
3. AC2
4. Brotherhood
5. Rogue
6. Revelation
7. AC1
8. Syndicate

10. AC3
>>342823290
Is Unity really this good?
Are the chronicle games worth playing?
>>342822751
>Syndicate was pretty much a step down in almost every way
Did you mean a step up? Because I couldn't play Unity at all anymore after Syndicate. They fixed the combat, fixed the parkour, fixed the physics, polished all the mechanics and made it work. It's what Unity should've been from the beginning. Sure, the game has its problems, but Unity had the same and worse.
>>342820817
>>342820624
Wrong. The alien shit was single handedly the worst 'twist' or whatever you want to call it, in the existence of a AAA game. Desmond should of never existed and the games story should of only been of that of the Assassin's vs Templar, not some bullshit divine alien technology.
>>342823353
And you never should of come here
>>342823318
It's definitely underrated because of all the bugs it had at launch.
- Visuals and environment/map are 10/10 I'd say.
- Main story is pretty shit.
- Side quests are quite nice.
- Gameplay is harder than in any of the other games, and controls are slightly different. Some people like it because it forces you to think things through more and actually be stealthy and plan assassinations (more in the spirit of AC1), while others are thrown off by it and just find it frustrating.
>>342823345
They didn't "fix" the combat in Syndicate. They're different because they're supposed to represent different styles of fighting. The main characters of Syndicate were supposed to be brawlers and Arno is more of a fencer.
Also Unity's combat was way better
The parkour didn't change a lot in Syndicate
It's the same shitty gimped system they used in Unity
The series haven't had good parkour since Revelations
>>342823318
Patched up, it doesn't deserve the hate it gets but I wouldn't put it above 2 and Brotherhood.
>>342823345
They didn't fix any of those things, just dumbed them down to make them easier for bad players.
>>342823595
>>342823654does this game still have horrible framerate problems?
>>342823705
Don't know, I play on PC so I just tune graphics to get good FPS, game still looks good on mylaptop.
>>342823610
So you're blind and dumb. Case closed.
>>342823698
I dare you to try and give rational arguments to back up your memespeak, if you can
>>342820624
I appreciate Syndicate, it was the most lighthearted game in the series
>>342823345
>>342823610
>>342823698
The idea in Unity was to make the game more challenging again and force you to use stealth like in AC1. As much as I like AC2 and the following titles, the fact is Ezio could pretty much just walk into a fort and cut his way through an army all by himself, making all stealth aspects of the game useless. Unity made combat harder again so you'd legitimately have to avoid getting surrounded by more than a couple of enemies. As for the parkour being harder, that's because the world is a lot more full and detailed, with more often than not buildings having full interiors and open windows, which makes the map more detailed than anything I've ever seen.
However this made the game too hard for most players, so they "fixed" it in Syndicate by just getting rid of it all. No more difficult combat, the combat is now ultra-fast and arcadey and you have literal superpowers. No more building interiors either, not even for London's monuments, and most of the parkour is replaced with ziplines and carriage rides anyway.
>>342823809
no you
>>342823937
Syndicate is just casual as fuck, combat and movement are both straight from Batman Arkham games.
>>342820624
Personally I think they need to bring back Desmond. Either by reviving him through some piece of eden bullshit, or just rebooting the series.
Even killing him off wouldn't have been so bad if they fucking replaced him with something. They just cut out modern day shit, with black flag having blank person as the modern character, and all games past it having literally no modern day parts. The present day "story" has gone to complete shit.
>Played unity
>Entire plot of the game is "we need you to find where this persons remains are so we can get to them before the templars!"
>End up finding them in the catacomb of bones
>"Lol well guess they'll never find them. Thanks anyway!"
They should have never killed Desmond off. At the very least, they could have had him die, but then revive as subject 16, seeing as it looked like he could have merged with him at the end of revelations
>Tfw
AssCreed skipped all interesting history periods, fumbled the fuck out of the red string tying the games together, barely revamped anything relevant of the core gameplay since 2 and have been released in a barely functional state.
It is unsalvageable and should just be put down
>tfw you don't hate AC3 and really liked Connor
The American trilogy is my favorite part of the series. Too bad Rogue was so short.
>>342824771

>Unity made combat harder again so you'd legitimately have to avoid getting surrounded by more than a couple of enemies
The enemies are leveled the exact same way in both Unity and Syndicate. Both game start out bit difficult in the beginning, but after some twenty hours, you've upgraded your health and gear to the point where you're an unstoppable terminator again.
Otherwise, the base mechanics are the same as they've been since III. People have been making Batman comparisons since AC2, Syndicate didn't invent that. The only major difference is that Syndicate actually fixed the wonky mechanics, so that you won't get killed by weird glitches or unresponsive controls anymore. That's not "making it casual", unless you somehow think playing broken games makes you seem hardcore. (No, it makes you sound like an idiot).
>As for the parkour being harder,
lolwhat? The parkour system couldn't be any easier, and is completely identical in Unity and Syndicate. Except that Syndicate fixed the weirdly floaty animations that plagued its predecessor, making the characters move like tangible human beings again instead of having them levitate through walls and obstacles, and bounce off of corners like rubber.
I don't get your talk about no interiors either, you have entire submissions sneaking into factories and other facilities that are more elaborate than anything in Unity. The ziplines and carriages make navigating easier, yes, but on the other hand, the scale of London is like triple the size of Paris, so in the end, you're not making progress any faster than before.
I'm honestly baffled. I've never seen anyone even attempt to defend Unity on this board before.

This statement makes me sad. How far have we fallen where "don't expect things to work when you buy them until after weeks and 10gb+ of patches" is an acceptable statement.
I think Microsoft was onto something where they charged $10,000 per patch during the 360 era.

Is it even in the new AC games? all the soundtracks from 3 onwards have been completely forgettable to me sounding nothing like Jesper Kyd's original work
>>342825601
Didn't Ezio stay his hand simply because he wasn't interested in revenge anymore at that point?
No OP just because it has nice sounding music it doesn't mean that it's good.
>>342824851
The only retort to this is Unity. Completely changed up gameplay and was set in an interesting setting for once.
>>342825647
Yeah it's in the gaes in some form or other.
>>342825601
>murders people by the thousands, mostly guards who were just doing their job

Every time.
>>342825770
Too bad they fucked up the main story so hard.
It's weird because you can tell from the city design and from all the side quest that they had legitimate historians advising and really put effort into that, but then the main story looks like it was written by some random Hollywood hack who didn't know shit about the French Revolution.
>>342825647
In Syndicate? Yeah, actually. Pretty nice rendition as well.

He's just French Ezio. Admit it, you just get buttflustered by froggies.
>>342825905
>>342825954
>>342825991
Main story was shit, I agree, but the side quests really allowed the city to flourish. At first I was really pissed off they barely used half the map in the main quests but once I started doing side missions I realised that some of them were just as fleshed out as any main story mission and had their own little plot lines to follow.

That's literally what their original plan for the series was before they changed it.

>>342827445
They decided to take a break from yearly releases, purely because the series started to fucking tank in sales. They clearly have no fucking idea where to take the series from here, since they killed off their anchor to the present day story.
To be honest they probably would have abandoned the series, but they can't do that while also promoting the movie

They're just slowing down the pace, moving towards a 2 year/game rhythm. Next game will be for 2017, and a soft reboot (set in ancient Egypt).

Disappointing 2bh. Bit weird moving forward with each main game then suddenly going all the way back to Ancient times
So is anyone going to see the movie?
>>342825905
It really triggers my history autism how all the fascinating real life characters of the Revolution either don't appear in the main story at all, or are turned into boring cardboard villains like Robespierre. How the shit do you fuck up Robespierre like that, come on...
But yeah the map and side quests made up for it. And Napoleon was pretty cool in the main story too.
>>342820292
It was actually better but it was more of the same. Actually it was betetr than brotherhood and it realy open areas with fuck nothing to do which you had to travel thru early
>>342828038
Not really, the last game is already in modern times, there's really nowhere left to go but back.
And it fits with the soft reboot they're doing.
Here's my fucking problem
I don't care how autistic I am, I've come to embrace it
SINCE WHEN DID ASSASSINATE MEAN 'STEALTHY KILL?'
You ASSASSINATE ONLY the main characters, the political leaders and people of influence. When you approach some beggar and the 'assassinate' option appears on your button map thing, that's fucking WRONG.
You don't ASSASSINATE random beggars or townsfolk, you FUCKING MURDER THEM. I don't care if it's with a hidden blade.
And this nonsense about assassinate meaning stealthy/1hit kill has spread over to so many other games. It's infuriating. Halo Reach springs to mind for some reason.
FUCK

>>342828220
I liked the Rome map. In fact I like any map that has a mix of settings, so countryside is a good thing. Plus it was interesting, I didn't realise that's what Rome was like, a Renaissance city occupying only about a third of the field of ruins that was the giant ancient Rome. Revelation was just nothing but city.
And the new features in Revelation were all kind of useless. The hideout defense minigame was crap, and the bomb crafting was just annoying.

>>342820624
Theyve established the combat as an integral part of the franchise, and the combat is the biggest glaring flaw. When you can play a game without even looking at the screen youve fucked up. I mean, it doesnt even need to be difficult, it needs player input. Its a shame because they always have nice settings aesthetics.

FIX.
THE.
FUCKING.
GAMEPLAY.
There. The thing is Ubishit wanted to fork out several AC games back to back and their engine got exponentially overbloated with shit they either didn't need in the game or was buggy as shit. Unity could have been so much more if it just played right, Syndicate was an improvement but still nowhere near what a AAA third person action adventure should play like.
These last few AC games have AAA production values with mid tier indie mechanics tied to them, they are neither fun to play nor responsive enough. A good example of responsive gameplay in the same genre is Shadow of Mordor, the game might be bland in its story and doesn't use the setting nearly as well as it could've but the gameplay is responsive and fucking fun.

I liked AC1 while it was still the only AC gme, but time has been unkind to it.
2 and Brotherhood were great, Revelations was a decent wrap-up. I felt things when Ezio met Altair in person at last.
3 was a let-down. Not catastrophic, merely mediocre.
Black Flag was a thing of beauty because it was a deviation from the standard AC formula and Edward was a cheeky cunt.
Syndicate is fun, jacob is a bit of a knob and evie is a bit snooty, but otherwise it's just Brotherhood in L O N D O N.
Never played Unity, though. How is it?

>Best movement system
Nope, it still uses auto shoving when running, ACII had a better balance of 2 running speeds, bumping into people made you fall if you were sprinting. ACU is more automated on an already automated game. Buildings are also far apart which makes rooftop traveling annoying and less viable than simply running on the streets.

>the scale of London is like triple the size of Paris
Everyone thinks Unity is small simply because Ubisoft let you zoom out and view the entire map. London is really about the same size, but they don't let you zoom out on more than one district.
>>342824091
>implying Syndicate was made with feedback from Unity
You don't know how those games are made. I'll give you a hint, it's not a 1 year dev cycle. They have multiple teams working on multiple games, so when Unity released, they already had other team working on Syndicate for a while. What this causes is they try different shit with different games and they can't slowly improve on what they have built because they have to keep pumping those factory assembled games.
>>342828487
I skipped the minigame and bomb stuff and the game got a lot better that way. I liked how you could climb and parkour a lot faster than in the previous games.
The mix of setting is indeed pretty cool and better than just cities, but I really hated how I needed to go from one side of the countryside to the other to fetch stuff many times without doing any assassinations.
Maybe they shouldv' mixed both into one game. Just put all the altair stuff in the brotherhood map and cut most of the stupid modern day stuff

That sort of thing happens sometimes. Occasionally a piece of music will just become the most recognizable in a franchise regardless of its intended purpose. I mean, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_sY9c7feuo retroactively became the theme of the entire Hitman franchise and it only appears in the 4th game.
Do unity and syndicate run well on PS4?

I guess I do remember having to use some app to open some chests, now that was some bullshit, but it's a good game I play from time to time.

>>342833847
Rogue was just another cash in. It even used the same combat animations as Edward, only replacing the second sword for a dagger. It brought nothing new to the table, and is guilty of the reason why AC is hated in the first place (yearly repetitive cash ins).
Unity actually attempted to and succeeded mostly in bringing in new things. Difficult combat, sandbox assassinations, RPG style equipment, multiple weapon styles, stealth mode etc. Also it has one of the best graphics in vidya to date (at least on PC), on par with Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight.
>>342833928
I remember it but not the context
You were hunting down subject 15, right? And there was actual gunplay but it was terrible
>>342833867
The Assassins throught the ages come across as a bunch of anarchist shitstains with small self centered goals, I just cant empathize with them. I imagine they could really turn the series around if they made a game where you played as the templars, with a different fight system and everything, and you fight the overpowered assassins.
>>342829070

>>342825179
Wrong, even at high level in Unity you can't do the missions without thinking them through. In Syndicate you can literally become invisible or one-shot punch any enemy.
The parkour got easier because the environment in Syndicate doesn't have nearly as much stuff as in Unity.
>I don't get your talk about no interiors either, you have entire submissions sneaking into factories and other facilities that are more elaborate than anything in Unity.
You can't be fucking serious.
Every single famous building in Paris has detailed and complex interiors, and every second regular building does too. Meanwhile in London you can't even go into Saint Paul's cathedral of Westminster, let alone regular buildings.
No wonder devs don't even bother to put any sort of work in their games anymore if asshats like you don't even notice the difference.
>>342821083
Black Flag is good in spite of the Assassin stuff. It would have been far better had it had nothing to do with that shit.

>>342834274
You obviously didnt.
seriously guys?
Bam Ham combat is AC combat where they removed the combo chain shit and instead added activated finishers
Most of what made the AC series compelling in the first place was the parkour system, there was nothing quite like it at the time, AC2 really made it more interesting too with a bigger world with taller buildings.
But eventually parkour just becomes a chore, part of the game that's just that: a part. It's no longer a marketable feature because it stopped being fun, that's why most of the other AC after Brotherhood aren't as well received because it just stopped being fun.
Syndicate even acknowledged this by giving the players a grappling hook so they wouldn't have to climb anymore.
>>342834061
>>342829070
Shadow of Mordor has some shittier BamHam combat, fuck all to do outside of the already stale combat system, and the nemesis system is the only redeeming factor in it.
SoM gets way too much praise everywhere. It's the Bioshock Infinite of here at this point.
It's an average at best game. I won't vouch for AC games, but truth needs to be said about Shadow of a bahmHam combat
Also AC is beyond saving because the guy who gave it focus, Patrice Desilets, is gone.
>>342834545
Lol, no.
It was LT to enter combat, then hold RT for block, then X for counter.
thanks for proving you've only played the new ones :^)
Are there any other open world games that have a Unity tier map?
As in similar level of detail, amount of interiors, concentration of NPCs...
>>342834589
Protip: Every AAA game gets too much praise. That's from all the retards who don't play anything else and thus don't know what good combat actually looks and plays like
Get used to it, no use fighting

Look how long its taken the assassins to stop the Templars and they still havent stopped them, because theyre a bunch of clowns that cant do anything right but kill people.
>>342834571
I made a long post about the climbing in ACII and why the game was pretty good compared to the rest of the series, but I can't search the /v/ archives on fireden for some reason.
ACII not only had tall buildings, but the buildings were very close together which meant you could get anywhere after climbing. Narrow streets also made it more crowded with less NPCs than Unity.
The shoving system was also nice, in II if you sprinted, you would collapse if you bumped into people, and running+shoving was simply slower than sprinting and you couldn't for example catch a running NPC via running or running+shoving.
With the very closely placed buildings, what this effectively created was a fast travel system in the rooftops, where you could freely sprint and this method of traveling would be simply faster than running on the ground.
AC games started to make streets very wide, giving you plenty of room to avoid groups of civilians, and automatically shoving players. Also buildings even in Brotherhood began being far apart, meaning you couldn't climb and then pick a direction, shit felt way more confined to those line connection between rooftop.
All this while navigation/climbing is the feature that sets the franchise apart, in Syndicate they finally admitted they don't understand what the series is about by making extremely wide streets, giving you TWO ways to travel faster than climbing, carriages and grappling hook. It's like giving you button in Doom that allows you to skip combat entirely.
>>342823353
Completely agree. There's so many cool things they could do if they just ignored the meta plot. I just found the modern stuff distracting.
>>342820292
This. Revalations was garbage compared to 2 and B..
Unity is the second best assassin creed
>>342820502
I dropped a manly tear. Not because it was sad, but because he deserved a death like that. Calm, not fighting, happy, with people that will cry for him.

Same thing the other way. Look how long the Templars have taken to kill the assassins

>>342835681
Isn't Rogue just more of the same from Black Flag? Haven't played it
>>342835712
The climbing was fine. I like the grid system that it had, during and after ACIII it feels like you have way less control over climbing than with the grid system, even Unity is guilty of that.
>>342821074
How anyone made it past the first mission is beyond me. That game was dog shit.
>>342836013
I would say Rogue is better than IV. On foot missions are better, naval content is largely the same and story is better.
It's also shorter so should be cheaper.
>>342820292
And it's still better than 3
>>342835681

>>342834327
Ive played them all since 1 including the platformers so eat my shit faggot.
>>342836013
It's Black Flag but in the North Atlantic instead of Caribbean and no pirates. Which automatically makes Black Flag better.
>>342836449
They were pirates using stolen everything to steal more shit. Stealing these things from the crown, no less, and then living the truly free life in the Caribbean that was freshly stolen clay by Yurop for farming purposes. I mean, come on. Of course they were hanged. That's all kinds of offenses, not even getting to the whole murder and cruel and unusual executions by sharks thing. They were career criminals. They had it coming.
Just got a PS4 and the last Ascreed I played were 4 and rouge which i enjoyed.
The vibe im getting is that unity is decent and tried other things while syndicate is more simple, but stable?
I acutally like running on buildings and stabbing so i think ill get unity. Plus i like the sound of more customisation
>>342831303
No, you aren't the only one- it's probably my favorite after Ezio's first two. I didn't play it until after they had fixed the performance issues though so that might have something to do with it. I recently played a bit of Black Flag and rally don't understand the hype about it.
Also, Unity runs better.
>>342833023
>they changed nothing
They removed the ability to manually jump and added a hookshot that eliminated the need to parkour.
I'm not sure just what that fixes but yeah...
People liked complaining about Desmond, but his story really was the thread keeping the series together. I don't even get why they're including the present day segments anymore if they scrabbed him, there's no point.
>>342836932
Unity was a good game with great graphics. Probably the only truly next gen game of its time which was what damned it. XBO/PS4 are not next gen systems despite being marketed as such so the stupid game only actually ran on PC. The story was also a hippo's shit and a waste of time and every single character is awful. France was beautifully done though and the best, most detailed world they ever created. The Nostradame missions were great too and the game returned to actually having educational content which was great and the gameplay was greatly improved. The fact that nothing could run it though made Ubisoft think that the entirety of game was a failure so they decided to make everything possible worse in Syndicate which was a move so stupid that they now no longer make yearly AC games.

Well, lets be honest, the Templars only try to kill the Assassins when the Assassins try to kill them. The Templars are fixed on other goals, not simply killing Assassins, the Assassins are incidental. The Assassins entire goal is to kill Templars, thats where they differ.
>>342834056
>I just cant empathize with them. I imagine they could really turn the series around if they made a game where you played as the templars
So Rogue ?
>>342837351
Not that anon but this is exactly why I didn't play Syndicate, I don't even want it for free.
With Unity I already forced myself to finish it due to how a dull fucking slog it was, now they made climbing useless because they are incompetent fucks who have no idea what made assassin's creed stand out from other games.
>>342837417
SHould have never had the modern day shit.
>>342837793
There's nothing delusional. It's documented. People did not shut up about how glitchy and poorly Unity ran on consoles. They said the game was broken. So much so that Ubisoft wound having to give out the season pass for free to veryone that owned the game and everyone who owned the season pass was given a free game as compensation. Then there was the fact that the frame rate was so poor consoles that it was unplayable so they had to scale back the settings so hard that it looked like a bunch of sock puppets. Only the PC version ran well but even then, people needed high end machines to actually get a stable 60fps with maximum settings. For the privileged few that got to see it maxed on P before the downgrade though, the game looked incredible. Damn near photorealistic and in real-time, no less.
