I forced myself playing through Unity last week. A horrible game (gameplay and story-wise). However, Assassins Creed Syndicate is really fun. I enjoy the new combat change and all the fun side missions (like the "Batman" investigations etc...) Definately agree with Spronks 8/10.Platinum'd the game on PS4, going to trade it into best buy for $43.50 (good until next saturday) which is about what I paid. Really enjoyed it, only AC I have platinum'd - its super easy compared to the rest in the series - no online/MP stuff, no real grinding other than destroying stuff on a vehicle.
Setting was great, story was pretty good, they are trying desperately to make something coherent mixing modern times and Assassins vs Templars but it comes across as pretty jumbled and incoherent. They really just need to reboot the series at this point but they are clearly setting up for a new modern era arc with the ending of Syndicate. Still, London is pretty awesome, the twins are cool, and there is a ton of fan service in the game esp for AC4 fans. 8/10 for me, while there are flaws in the game and its a very Ubisoft game (million collectibles, pushing real $$ for maps, boring combat) its still a fun Assassins Creed.
That would be great. I, personally, thought that Black Flag was the best in the series.Hope this is true, but it 4chan. AC 2016 cancelled, team is going to work on a reboot of AC for 2017 that will be set in Egypt and be open world, made by the Black Flag team.
Rumour: No Assassin's Creed in 2016, 2017 set in Egypt - Gamereactor UK -
If its true it also probably means an AC Collection and AC Rogue release for ps4/xbone (PC) this year.
Unity got patched and is much better.I finished this game a few nights ago and finaly got the Plat last night. Its a very fun game. I loved Black flag and Rogue, but could not finish Unity.
Syndicate is not as good as the two boat games (which i am a bit of a sucker for) but head and sholders above Unity last time i played it.
If you have a Ps3 or 360 get rogue first, its dirt cheap now with a few sales being even $10. Buy Syndicate this game when its on sale which has been pretty oftne.
The plat is super easy on this one as well, you dont need all the collectables.
The economy is way out of wack however, i bought the $$ making gang skills early and hit a bunch of chests hard, i ended up having more cash than i could spend half way through making a ton of rewards/chest near the end pointless.
Really easy to just leave the game on and accumulate cash on the train while you do other things. Thats not a terribly new mech for AC but i noticed it more in this game. The train paid me $68,000 one time and the most exspenive thing you can buy is only $16,000 with most being $10,000. It might have been a bug.
Anyway, better than Unity, a solid game if you like AC, way less annoying climbing things in the wrong direction movement. It has sparked my desire to go back to Unity and try it again, i hear some stuff got patched.
