    Can Syndicate receive some love to?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:57 AM PST

    People hated Unity and now, apperantly, it's best game in the franchise.

    After the honeymoon phase, Odyssey received a lot of hate and now you get bullied if you dare criticize it.

    Even Connor is getting some love.

    When will it be Syndicate's turn? I know it wasn't as ambitious as Unity or Origins and played it very safe but it's still a fun game with some charming characters.

    I love AC Odyssey.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:01 AM PST

    I bought the game when it first came out and played for a while, I got to around level 15ish but other things took my attention away from it, now I'm playing again and I've gotten to Athens and I love it. It really feels like a big city with things to do everywhere, I'm trying to do the Symposium quests and every time I start one, I end up doing a bunch of side quests or oh look, another synchronization location. I better grab that, or a merchant, lets see if he has any cool weapons/armor. It's so much fun. And all the while I'm slaughtering Athenian soldiers, weakening their position. I cant wait to have Athens under Spartan control.

    Edward Kenway deserves sequels

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:51 PM PST

    So I've played every assassin's Creed game, since ac is the saga that got me into gaming, and in my opinion Black flag is just behind ac 2 and brotherhood. Playing an old style ac after playing the new ones have me good/painful vibes, but still, I think that Edward kenway would be at the same level of appreciation of Ezio if they'd go on with a Edward saga. So the question is: does anybody feels the same? Also, what style should it take? The new rpg system, the ol clunky one, or mix between the two; also which would be the focus (historic setting and location) of this games apart of following the life of Edward going from rich pirate to assassin's mentor? In the end, Edward is a great character and I feel like he deserves at least a sequel or a short movie, like it was for Ezio.

    Why is calling Phobos so annoying in AC Oddessy?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:21 PM PST

    Good day to you all. Does anyone else find it super annoying how Phobos keeps spinning around in his place and runs away from you when you go towards his right after you call him? It irritates the shit out of me. Why doesn't he just come straight at you and stand right in front of you so you can mount him easily? And also I think we should be able to move faster in cities because it's so annoying that he's almost as fast as us when we run on feet in cities. Just thought about posting this and hoping they don't implement these mechanics again in the next AC games.

    Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered checkers minigame is impossible

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 10:18 PM PST

    I decided to try the checkers minigame in a tavern in Fort Louis (eastern part of the North Atlantic map). Well let me tell you, it's completely impossible. I remember playing the minigames in AC3 and AC4 and yes, sometimes they were hard, but I remember winning one or two matches once in a while. This checkers minigame is unbeatable... I spent 4 hours playing (human vs A.I.) and the best I got was 'draw' and then I tried using a checkers game online for another hour (A.I. vs A.I. in hard level) and I lost every. single. time. I mean what's the point of playing if you'll never win??? Is it even possible? Replaying Rogue is amazing and I absolutely love Shay and the story of the game but I don't even want to try the other minigames available in the game, I am disappointed.

    Have you ever beaten the minigames of ROGUE? How did you do it?

    The Towers Used to Mean Something

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 06:36 AM PST

    Climbing a vantage point and press "sync" is ubiquotous in so many Ubisoft games - and as many of late note, to the game's detriment. Especially with Breakpoint.

    But I have been playing AC3 Remastered a lot lately and I noticed something -

    The design of "towers" has changed dramatically.

    In Origins and Odyssey, towers act as a primary way of filling the map with points of interest. As well as levelling up your eagle vision.

    But in these older games, they used to also uncover the fog of war. And this mechanic was actually really core to the AC games, and made the whole tower sequence less of a running gag than what it has now become.

    If you're try doing an assassination in Boston or New York, you are often required to flee an area and get to incognito. If you have unveiled that part of the map, you can see on your minimap where all the alleys are, where your parkour routes could be, where the hiding places are.

    If you haven't? You're in the dark. Using only your vision and not your "eagle vision", so to speak. It immediately becomes a more frantic run-about-the-city rather than anything deliberate.

    The whole "investigate-assassinate-flee" loop has been eroded over time. And climbable towers used to be a key system to helping the player navigate a dense urban environment in each of those segments.

    But for whatever reason, Ubisoft Towers remain in AC games even though that 3 part gameplay loop is really no longer there.

    So, in short, neither should the Towers.

    Tl;dr towers and sync-points in AC games used to serve a greater purpose in revealing the map to aid the player in movement and traversal - particular for assassinations as well as fleeing/chase sequences. But now Towers do not serve that purpose as assassinations have fundamentally changed forever.

    So Towers shouldn't be in Ragnarok, unless we see a return to where movement, traversal, and escapement plays a significant role.

    Revisiting Assassin's Creed : Unity

    Posted: 08 Feb 2020 12:17 AM PST

    So what are your exact thought on Assassin's Creed Unity? The Game was disaster at launch and filled with technical issues. But has anyone recently replayed it and been surprised how good the game really is putting aside all those faults..?

    Lore is also as important, if not more.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 01:52 AM PST

    What makes a game world believable, if not lore, that knowledge you gain from playing a game, reading notes, books, hearing conversations and or even item descriptions.

    I see some of my fellow fans saying that gameplay is of a higher priority when it comes to games, that the fun factor should come before the story, before the world, and I understand that mindset, I have friends for which that is the case too.

    But you should care more for the story aspect of piece of entertainment, you should care more about lore, that fabric that wraps everything together so it makes sense.

    We should all have a grasp on what we're doing, and for what reason we're doing it, even in games, because without a set of rules, without limitations, things might start making less and less sense until there isn't any left.

    I want to be proud of this franchise, not only because I have fun playing it, but also because it makes me think, it makes me wonder about the possibilities, about the intricacies and the mysteries surrounding it.

    Don't you too want that ? Don't you want to look back someday and feel part of this world and its knowledge ?

    I can assure that with enough effort, both fun and a solid story can be achieved, don't let companies think you only care about the fun factor, because that won't last long.

    Black flag has a lot of trailing missions but they do it a lot better then other games.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:21 AM PST

    The trailing missions are a lot more tense because you have options and a lot of different variables. If you want you can play on the rooftops and take out snipers or sneekk in the grass and be a lot more stable but have more enemies to deal with. You do feel like a pretty cool assassin following them. There are still a bit to many of these missions and some of them have problems but I actually enjoy their inclusion and dont dread them like AC3.

    The boat trailing missions tho. Fuck those.

    About the Jackdaw AC4 Black Flag

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 06:06 PM PST

    So one thing that as been bugging me a lot for a long time in Black Flag is one particular pole on the jackdaw.

    Wen you use the mechanism to ascend fast grabbing a hook* you land on a platform that let you descend by grabbing another hook*.

    Well this structure were the hook* to descend his seem to get in the way of the sails.

    Am I visualizing this worng? Is this part capable of spinning or was this an oversight from Ubisoft wen building the ship?

    I have no idea and this pole thing always bugged me off

    [Historical Accuracy] What skin color would the people of Egypt have?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:17 AM PST

    I'm asking this because I just Googled Abubakar Salim and saw he's way darker than Bayek, and I know it's not supposed to look very similar since it's just a model and voice actor, but this sparked my curiosity.

    Overall through the game, you see Bayek as one of the more dark-skinned characters, and a lot of people seem to have a "caramel" skin color (like myself).

    I've seen articles (a long time ago) saying people from Egypt had Caucasian-like features, but overall I'm not sure if that has been confirmed or debunked and this still leaves open the question (for me) of skin colour.

    Does anybody here knows this for sure? (As in, is a historian or studied/read about it)

    Should I know anything before starting ac unity ?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 04:01 PM PST

    I'm new to the franchise, I played odyssey a lot and I kinda liked it so I got a pack featuring unity, black flag and syndicate for 20$, I was intrigued by the french revolution setting so I started with unity... MY GOD, this game has some soul in it, it's weird to explain but the main character, though he's still an asshole so far, has some fucking personality. The game as a whole feels much more like an action adventure game than an rpg which I love btw, you can understand what npcs are saying, the whole game oddly feels more fleshed out than ac odyssey in writing and cutscenes, the scene where arno loses his father barely 20 mins into the game is more emotional than anything I have seen in odyssey, the voice acting has been great too (I use french dub tho because I speak french and for immersion's sake)

    But enough about me rambling, should I have started black flag first ? What do I need to know about templars and assassins and abstergo and all that ? or should I just continue blind ?

    I trust ashraf ismail and his team more than I do on Ubisoft Quebec

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:01 AM PST

    I played black flag and origins and I trust ashraf ismail and his team at Ubisoft Montreal than Ubisoft Quebec odyssey was a dissapontment or me I didn't have any love that I felt in previous assassins creed games like ac2 ac3 ac4 and origins so I hope ac 2020 will be made by the same team that did black flag

    It's official, Unity made my PS4 Pro fans kicking on.

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:19 PM PST

    It's only happened twice. I believe, while in a menu. But I have never seen a non PS4 Pro enhanced game pick on the fans, haha.

    Start from AC4 Black Flag or AC3 Remastered (PS4)?

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:08 AM PST

    So I have only played AC1 and AC2 (excluding Brotherhood/Revelations) a decade ago but really wanted to slowly get back into the series. I am nearly finished with my backlog, and with a lot of AC games currently on sale, I was about to start with AC4 Black Flag. I just found that AC Odyssey Ultimate is also on sale (around 35€) which includes AC3 Remastered/Liberation.

    So would you recommend starting from A3 Remastered or AC4 Black Flag? I want to follow the order starting from one of these two. Plus is there any game in the series worth skipping from the list below?

    Order Included In (PS4)
    AC 1
    AC 2 The Ezio Collection
    AC Brotherhood The Ezio Collection
    AC Revelations The Ezio Collection
    AC 3 Remastered AC Odyssey Season Pass
    AC 3 Liberation Remastered AC 3 Remastered
    AC 4 Black Flag
    AC Freedom Cry AC 4 Black Flag Season Pass
    AC Rogue Remastered
    AC Unity
    AC Syndicate
    AC Origins
    AC Odyssey

    Thanks.

    minor problem that i dont get with the lore

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 02:31 PM PST

    in ac origins we learn that the leap of faith came from bayeks dad and it meant something great to bayek, so he implemented it as part of the creed.

    so in odyssey darius is dressed like an assassin, and he does a leap of faith 400 years before it's invented, also in ac brotherhood you can see that on Darius's statue he has a belt buckle the shape of the assassin emblem. even odyssey's protagonist performs leaps of faith.

    keep in mind that i didnt play ac origins and odyssey due to to hardware limitations, im still intrested in the lore so i watched some lore videos related to them.
