I think there's some ww2 action in unity isn't there?

So I just read the synopsis of Unity, and small spoiler, perhaps, but is the plot of the game that the assasins try to prevent the revolution?
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 15:53 (nine years ago) link
not really
― internet explorer (am0n), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 17:03 (nine years ago) link
I don't know about the gameplay but Unity looks very cool. And many reviews, here in France, were raving (including historians experts of the revolution era !).I guess I'll get it… when I'll make the jump to the new gen consoles...
― AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 4 December 2014 11:50 (nine years ago) link
Feel like next summer it might be Arkham Knight that tips me over into getting a next gen is I'll play this then. For now I'll consider Rogue.

paris looks great, just the detail in the natural lighting when going inside to outside or vice versa is crazy. the combat/parkour overhaul is good too. seems like the weapon variety they've added is very dark souls influenced. claymore?! ac4 was fun but felt like more a pirate spinoff. unity goes back to feeling like ac2. if they can just fix the floating npc glitches...

so it seems this giant new unity patch has solved the problem of crowd pop-in by, uh, adding an animus highlight to it to make it a feature rather than a bug?

Well, this is a thing. Who knows enough about Renaissance-era Spanish history to figure out how he's going to fit in? He's a contemporary of Ezio and has all of his fingers intact.

Has there ever been more time and effort put into something that absolutely no-one gives a shit about than the futuristic bits of these games
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 2 January 2016 13:49 (eight years ago) link
after six years of posting on this thread I finally played AC2 & now am playing Brotherhood. & they are worth the wait. just bought the rest of the AC games available for 360, when I finish those maybe it'll be time to get an xbone/ps4. the setting of AC3 still seems lame to me but as long as there's exploration and little dinky tasks and killing I'll be good.
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 29 June 2016 16:08 (seven years ago) link
Black Flag is the one! so so fun.
― jamiesummerz, Thursday, 30 June 2016 14:09 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, Black Flag is the standout of the series, though I remember being really pleasantly surprised by Brotherhood. Before Witcher: Blood and Wine was released I was playing AC: Syndicate, which looks wonderful but is a bit of a drag. It's huge but feels really small.
― painfully alive in a drugged and dying culture (DavidM), Thursday, 30 June 2016 21:31 (seven years ago) link
Had quite a bit of fun with AC: Syndicate until I leveled up way beyond what I needed to complete the game.
― Gukbe, Thursday, 30 June 2016 22:13 (seven years ago) link
I am 2/3 through AC3 lol & yes it more or less sucks but I want to get the trading system going so I am faithfully doing all the dumb homestead missions. but all I really want are some good assassination missions! instead I ride around on a dumb horse telling my soldiers when to shoot which is basically "as soon as I arrive". I'm in the prison sequence which is quite fiddly & restrained: I want to fuck up the guards calling me a half breed but I don't see how I can fulfill the mission when doing so, so I hold off and pickpocket some moron. but it's not as bad as the war segments. I'm not gonna bother getting all the highpoints since the urban ones are terrible ( I don't give a fuck about the northeast usa) & the frontier ones are mostly just the same tree! hunting is ok fun because I guess I like killing animals by stabbing them in the head. also I haven't figured out how to upgrade anything yet: I guess I can't get more health than I started with? so when I try to fight more than 3 people at a time I die a lot. I want to level up but I don't see how. whatever, it's not that hard. the naval parts have been very fun so far & I'm looking forward to playing black flag next.
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 31 August 2017 19:36 (six years ago) link
Best thing about AC3 is that Black Flag was built off of it.
― Gukbe, Thursday, 31 August 2017 22:12 (six years ago) link
ok finished AC3 tonight, what a bummer. such inept writing, such a dreadful lead character, such misconceived gameplay. all these complicated systems for crafting and it's good for making a couple of cool weapons and for making money that you won't need once you have the cool weapons, since you get enough money to upgrade your ship without crafting/trading. & it ended abruptly. the BEST part of the game was Haytham, a jerk with flair, unlike Connor, a boring jerk. the naval missions were pretty good so yeah Black Flag should be a joy. I'm gonna play Mass Effect 2 & Dragon Age 2 first though (trying to finish out my 360 games before choosing bw xbone & ps4 for Origin etc

(I miss JLV.)A crapload of Ass Creed games are on sale at Best Buy right now for BF/November; what are generally considered the good ones these days? I've only played the first. I assume the Ezio games are still held in high regard, but everything after that is a mush to me.
― Nhex, Monday, 16 November 2020 14:13 (three years ago) link
I liked Odyssey. Sun-drenched with a charismatic protagonist. Origins a slightly less good version of that
The London one is boring imo
― hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Monday, 16 November 2020 14:42 (three years ago) link
I played them all up to Syndicate. Yeah, the Ezio games were great. 3 was ok, could have gotten most of the fun out of just Freedom Cry though. Black Flag was ok enough, Unity was disappointing (& I love the setting), didn't bother with Syndicate because I don't really care about London. I got Origins pretty cheap, I guess I want to try it, not sure about the Greek one, really these all sound exhausting these days.
― All cars are bad (Euler), Monday, 16 November 2020 14:44 (three years ago) link
Odyssey is great fun if you just like wandering around endless gorgeous landscapes solving tons of sidequests, a la Skyrim. The main character is cool like Biscuits said, and some of the historic Greek characters they've included are surprisingly fun. The main plot is a bit meh/predictable, but there are several intriguing subplots. I know some people dislike the Fate of Atlantis DLC because it sidesteps the relative realism of the main game and takes you to straight inside Greek mythology; there's a sci-fi explanation for all that, though it's rather flimsy... But I like that one too, it's visually quite inspired and fun to play.
