Assassin's Creed Unity (next gen)

[jaydacris]

very early trailer (alpha footage)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQng7EkJHOI

for next gen only! (xbox one 1080p hopefully :lol )
set in the French Revolution


coming out later this year, wahoooooo

[Jailblazers7]

Nice, French Revolution should be cool.

[Thorpesaurous]

I really loved the pirating, but it didn't feel like it came from the same series 100%. The history is foggier in that period. The current day story line has come completely off the tracks.

I've said this many times, but I'm fine just with a new conspiracy based historical open world game with killer platforming every year. I like to experience these cities, see some of these moments, as fictitious as they are. I don't really need all the extra tied in story line.

This being placed in a firmer historical moment, and in a great landscape, will be right up my alley I'm sure.

[nightprowler10]

What the **** is up Batman and now this coming out next gen only. Well I actually know what's up but it's pissing me off because I don't wanna buy a PS4 yet...

P.S: Does anybody remember the original AC trailer? This has to be a nod to that.

[nightprowler10]

This being placed in a firmer historical moment, and in a great landscape, will be right up my alley I'm sure.
Yeah I think this has the potential to be the best AC since Brotherhood.

[CelticBaller]

Finally :applause:

[nightprowler10]

So apparently the title of the current gen only game might be Comet. I might buy both and borrow someone's PS4.

[Jailblazers7]

Can't wait to climb the Eiffel. I don't own a PS4 yet either but I have no problem waiting until I buy one to play it.

[nightprowler10]

Can't wait to climb the Eiffel. I don't own a PS4 yet either but I have no problem waiting until I buy one to play it.
Yeah I've said this about every AC game that I'll wait this time... but I always find a way to play it right away.

This is set in the French Revolution BTW, there shouldn't be an Eiffel Tower.

[Jailblazers7]

Oops, forgot the Eiffel didn't exist yet. That's kind of a bummer because I wanted to parachute off that thing lol.

[nightprowler10]

Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll have something similar in the present day storyline. :lol

I wonder where they'll take that story arch though? Do we pick up where we left off from Aita's death? Does Juno finally get unleashed? Should be interesting.

[lilgodfather1]

Oops, forgot the Eiffel didn't exist yet. That's kind of a bummer because I wanted to parachute off that thing lol.
Damn that would be cool! But yeah, prolly won't happen :( . You know I got ac4 as a gift, the series was dead to me after3, but now I can't wait for the next game. Next gen only is great, all games should be as soon as the next consoles come out. Thaat way games are not held back by old tech, and it is good to see last gen sales of games fall off. No reason to make games for ps360 if no one buys them.

[nightprowler10]

Neat fact I read somewhere, maybe on a tumblr, they've been working on this game for three years, that means they must have started this project immediately after Brotherhood came out. :eek: And there's this from gamespot:

http://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1493/14930800/2487980-6851206298-eurog.jpg

Masonic eye = American Revolution = AC3
Phrygian cap = French Revolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrygian_cap#Revolutionary_icon) = AC5

Some serious foreshadowing that everyone seemed to have missed back then.

[Rose]

Even though I'm not a super huge history guy, I know the eye was involved with the French Revolution. So now I'm kinda mad I didn't get it.:facepalm

At least I picked up on all the french revolution hints in ac 4.

[Rose]

Also there's a pretty interesting rumor about Comet being about the Templars and not the Assassins.

[Le Shaqtus]

Awww yiss.

So excited, I gave up trying to 100% Black Flag, but I was never into the pirating aspect of the game.

Looks really nice.

No you got it backwards. The eye has to do with the masonic eye which is related to America and is on the dollar bill.

As for your other post about the 2nd game being about Templars, I'm really excited to hear that. A different perspective altogether. I wonder how big the second game will be, and if it will get super repetitive if you play both.

If they are both the scope of black flag, and you play watchdogs too, that is a ton of similar gameplay (at least from the vids of wd it looks like future ac) in 7-8 months.

I was thinking the same thing. After I finished The Last of Us, I went / am going:

GTA
Black Flag
Infamous
Watch Dogs (preordered)
Then I'm gonna go two Assassin's Creeds?

That's a ton of open world gaming. I love open world gaming, but that's a lot of "fetch and bring"ing. And a lot of Ubisoft.

A high end linearish action adventure. An Uncharted. A Resident Evil. Sure would be a nice change of pace.

I'm hopefull for some quality downloadable indie puzzler platformer types to get some break. I look forward to trying Fez.

Damn I have pretty much the same list, just a few more added in.

Gta 5,Stick of truth, ac 4, second son, tomb raider, thief (not a good game imo) , mgs gzeroes.

Then my next game will be watchdogs, and then soul suspect, and unless something else is announced at e3, ac unity.

Little bit of variety, but still not a ton.

If it's the POV of the Templars...that's probably the only way I get both ACs. Otherwise I'm gonna say **** old gen AC.

For me I don't think that'll be a problem because usually I spend 2-3 weeks on finishing out the story. Then try to get at least 90% done. That takes another couple weeks. The games usually hit in the fall. Take some time off, and get that the other in the spring, when there's seldom any AAA games that come out. It'll have dropped off in price a lot, and probably only be like a 2-3 month wait.

[nightprowler10]

Time to revive this thread?

Having seen the E3 trailers, I feel like this is going to be their best effort since AC2/Brotherhood. I don't even care about the co-op aspect, the city looks fantastic. I just hope Arno has an intriguing personality.

I'm less enthused because the Revelations director is handling this one.

Revelations was balls. Shortest one, great idea turned into a meh story, probably the only one that I would say has a weak story.

No I was showing disappointment on it being the Revelations director. I agree it was by far the worst game in the series.

Ah okay. I knew you were hyped up because it was taking place in Turkey, and that's part of your background. I thought you were a critic of it as well, so I was like.:confusedshrug:

Bringing back the stupid chemical bomb making shit too. :facepalm

:oldlol: I can see that as being very confusing I guess. Yeah I was definitely pumped for it but I've always seen it as the worst in the franchise. The one thing I did like was the detailed missions for the recruits. Much better than in any other game.


Bringing back the stupid chemical bomb making shit too. :facepalm

Jeez...

[Angel Face]

At last, stealth mode. :applause:

That and controlled descent is awesome. The fact that you can descend from a building with jumping into a haystack (which always seemed a little absurd to me) or hugging a wall makes the navigation even better.

The demo honestly looks incredible:

:bowdown: :bowdown: Oh my god.

I loved AC2 and the way the cities were outlined. Felt like you could really climb and go anywhere. While AC3 and AC4 were okay, they didn't feel like traditional Creed games.

This looks amazing. The city is beautiful, the fact that you have so many side missions and that you can interact with so many parts of the city is mind-blowing. And the controlled descent and stealth mode are something the games needed a long time ago. Wasn't sure if I'd get this game, but looks like a day one purchase for me. :rockon:

HOLY SHIT!!

I may have to succumb to a PS4 after all. Omg.

Huge positives I noticed:

-Stealth gameplay from the Splinter Cell games. Awesome addition and long overdue.
-Controlled descent looks and sounds good. I hope it's easy to control.
-You can use disguises LIKE THE ACTUAL HISTORICAL HASHISHINS DID. About ****ing time.
-Some combat features that disappeared after AC2 to make it easier seemed to have returned. Combat had really gotten boring.
-Looks like eagle vision develops as you go through the game. This is a nice touch.

I really like the focus on actual assassinations being improved. My concern right now is the real world storyline. Will it be a continuation of Black Flag or something different? Personally I wouldn't mind a continuation as long as it moves that story arch forward and tie up some things.

That was tough not to catch haha. Very interesting. I wonder if it's a defector. I always thought Unity just refers to the co-op aspect of the gameplay (just like brotherhood referred to the recruits) but it could be something much larger.

[nightprowler10]

So this is what is known so far about the background on Arno from various interviews, blogs, books, etc. that might shed light on the trailer Rose posted. I'll put it in white in case someone doesn't want to know.


-Arno is not related to Desmond Miles :eek:
-Arno is half Austrian and half French. His father murdered at age 8.
-Arno was raised in Versailles by a Templar Grandmaster. Also murdered.
-Arno eventually leaves Versailles and becomes an Assassin.
-Elise, the female in the trailer, is a Templar and seems to have a history with Arno
-Also, I remembered from being having been there, Arno is also a river that runs through Florence, Ezio's birthplace. :D


I think I'm as hyped for this game as I was for AC2.

[Rose]

Really? Maybe spoilers in white: I thought I read that his family was from a long line of Assassins?

Apparently the "Unity" part is gonna delve into what would happen if the two factions could work together. Also gonna shed some light on why they hate each other so much.

Honestly that news is the only thing that makes me excited for this game. It's gonna be the first one I don't preorder since the original one.

[nightprowler10]

Well he could still be from a long line of assassins, just not Desmond's lineage.

I'm more excited about it now than I was before. The gameplay video looks amazing to me.

I thought we already knew why the Templars and Assassins hate each other (extreme ideological differences). Why do we need to focus on that even more?

I meant that about being trained by the Templar. I guess it could be like the Kenways.

I don't know. Pretty much whether or not an AC game is good largely depends on the setting. It is as much of a character as the protagonist in the games really. The French Revolution is a fantastic historical era. There's lots of cool shit going on, but having the game set mostly in Paris? Ehhh. I don't know.

I'm hoping there's something more there, like we find out the two factions were originally one and split over an ideological difference (obviously), or that there's more to the reason why the two are fighting. Maybe both sides have forgotten what the real reason is now aside from the ideological differences.

The formula is kinda getting stale. It's why I was hoping for a largely different AC this time around. One that focuses on the Templars instead, or maybe the events happening in the modern day after the end of AC 3. Because in a post AC 3 world, the Templars kind of need a new goal or maybe not goal, but new ends to reach that goal or something.

Plus that same damn Revelations director has me concerned, especially since he's put chemical bombs back in. I'm waiting to see what else is shitty. Sure the gameplay looks nice, but I'm largely skeptical of it mostly because of everything in this post.:lol

[Rose]

And for the last gen
Rogue (http://kotaku.com/heres-the-first-trailer-for-assassins-creed-rogue-1616353281)

Okay-ish premise. Kinda upset the last gen has sailing stuff, may pick it up later on down the line if it gets good reviews.

Rumors of making Rogue into a separate AC franchise if it takes off.

[Rose]

Rumors of making Rogue into a separate AC franchise if it takes off.
I do think we need a Templar gme, but I don't want it as a separate franchise. I think that could lead to the fall of AC.Too much of the same stuff is bad. I think for a game or two it would be pretty cool, but yearly like AC? ehh.

[nightprowler10]

I may have to succumb to a PS4 after all. Omg.
I got a PS4 as a present yesterday. :rockon: :banana: :pimp:

[Le Shaqtus]

I like how it took 6 games to put a stealth mode into an assassin game :lol

[Rose]

I don't get how people didn't figure out to be stealthy awhile ago?

The games specifically tell you how to be stealthy. Hide in a crowd, how to hide in a moving crowd, sit on a bench, move through grass but don't run, etc etc.

I like some of the changes specifically "parkour down", but I never really had a problem with that. I'd just fall for 2-3 seconds keep tapping x to grab a ledge and repeat till I got back down to the level I needed. :lol

parkour down and other stuff (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/assassins-creed-unity-completely-rebuilds-the-seri/1100-6421616/)

More details are coming out like the map as well.

One thing I'm really not liking the sound of is the one camera thing. I thought the camera angles since AC 3 had been really well done (and maybe a game or two before that), and it sounds like its a fixed camera as well. Not a huge fan of that specifically in AC.

[nightprowler10]

Yeah I was just gonna say. It didn't take them 6 games, they advertised stealth in the first trailer of the first game (hiding within monks) and dozens of missions since have solely depended on using stealth. Just because they didn't employ the Splinter Cell style stealthy gameplay doesn't mean they didn't have any.

Haha yeah I thought everybody did that. I did end up dying once in a while because some buildings sucked for that (the Duomo in Florence is one). I'm having a hard time picturing what you mean by the fixed camera...

That was the first one I thought of too as dying. One of the ones in AC4 got me too, which is surprising. Well the video explains how the game had different style cameras. One was action, one was free roam, one was cut scene, one was parkour, one was for boats, or horses, and there may be another I don't know. But now instead of having those (which personally I liked a lot) it's all locked camera, no moving it around, and its the same in every scenario.

Now, that's cool because its supposed to be intelligent enough to know what you want to do. But I don't trust it in the first iteration of it, in a game where it's a yearly release. I don't know I just feel like going with one camera is gonna be weird. Especially for parkour stuff.

[nightprowler10]

I must've missed that in the video. I get it now and that's definitely somewhat worrying for me as well. I really liked the different cameras.

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah, I actually kind of liked the no Splinter Cell style stealth because it forced you to be more resourceful. However, now that there seems to be a significant amount of indoor gameplay they were kind of forced to include it. I think the parkour down is just way better stylistically. I didn't have a big problem dropping down and grabbing a ledge but it is just a lame gameplay option.

I just read that today. This absoluted killed Dead Space for me. I didn't even come close to finishing DS3 because of it.

I think part of it was that I wasn't sure what it meant. I remember running into the first bench and having an option to buy some boosters. I thought it was like a pre-order bundle that I could've gotten had I pre-ordered from Amazon or Best Buy, so I figured sure, for 7 bucks, I'll grab it. I'm a bit of a completionist. But the further I got the more I saw, and I was never sure just how much was intended. I wasn't sure if I missed things and they were being offered to me after the fact, or if I wasn't going to be able to get these items moving forward. I really don't like this trend. And I'm not even a multiplayer guy, and on there it seems like a much bigger issue.

[nightprowler10]

I think it solidifies people's opinion that these games are a huge cash grab for Ubisoft more than anything else. Arguing from that perspective, it's very obvious to me that Blackflag was mostly done as the complete opposite of AC3 whoch wasn't as popular.

I really hope Unity is actually a great great game that disproves that these people.

[Rose]

That customization stuff makes me excited for this one. About to preorder it.

[Shade8780]

Don't know if I'll bother playing 3 or 4. I'll play Revelations to finish the Ezio trilogy but I'll probably skip on to Unity then.

Revelations isn't as good as the rest of the trilogy, but its a lot better than people (myself included) say. Its just so short, its a fun one time playthrough.

4 is my favorite of the series, its definitely worth a look particularly if you've always wanted a pirate game.

[nightprowler10]

Revelations isn't as good as the rest of the trilogy, but its a lot better than people (myself included) say. Its just so short, its a fun one time playthrough.
You know I just played through Revelations again, which was the first time I touched it since the weekend following release. It's better than I remember. I didn't do any of the bomb crafting stuff and just kept refilling the ones I originally had and got through the whole game. The combat was still too easy but better than the abomination that was AC3 (the Janissaries were fun). I didn't like the slow animations for the last kill (they worked well for Arkham but not here). Overall the lack of lighting was annoying at times but it was more of a fun experience than I remembered. Still finished it in 6 hours or so. I didn't mind paying $60 for a short fun game since it came with AC1 on the disc so you got 2 games in 1.

Since AC3 is the only older game in the franchise that I only played once (BF is too new), I started playing that next. I'm up to the part where Connor visits Boston for the first time (not fully grown) and already there's something lacking in the game for me. I'll keep playing but I'm feeling the same disappointment I felt the first time around.

On topic, I gotta say I'm getting pretty hyped up for Unity.

:biggums: Was that like a ps3 exclusive? Because I don't think the 360 version did, otherwise I would have been happier about it. I think in a weird way that game aged kinda well. Because the missions are really fun, the story is good, but not as good as the other two Ezio games. The combat is exactly what you said, but it's better now to me for some reason. I don't know why that is. But I just feel like it's a better game now somehow. Maybe it's because I was so disappointed after 2 perfect games that instead of saying that's an 8 or 9 game, I thought it was a hugely disappointing game.

I actually played AC3 again not too long ago. While it's not by any stretch of the imagination amazing, I can't say I didn't like it. I love the combat/woods area/the story. It's just some of the side missions were atrocious. And Boston/New York are just bad. Sooooo bad.

Yeah I think it was on PS3 only. Remember, the original game was never ported to PS3, so this made sense.

Eventually, I think I will play Rogue, so I'm looking forward to seeing how well New York is redone. Because you're right, it was atrocious in AC3.

Ah yeah that's true. That makes total sense.

I'll get it once it's really cheap. I usually finish the AC game during December after it comes out. And then I get a nagging feeling to play one in March or April, and by then I'm sure it'll be really cheap. The idea of it is cool at least.

Yeah the more I read about the story the more I'm sure I'll get it, but like you I'll probably wait till it's really cheap.

[nightprowler10]

Who's getting this day 1? I'll pick it up on my way home tonight. Can't wait. Too hyped.

[Jailblazers7]

Will either buy the Unity bundle or just get it later since I'll probably be getting the xbox one soon once the Halo Master Chief Collection starts running more smoothly. It does look really good and the French Revolution is definitely interesting but I'm starting to get a little wary of the AC franchise.

[Thorpesaurous]

I pre-ordered and will be picking it up on the way home. I'm very hopefull this gets me out of my gaming slump. I haven't been interested in anything enough lately to get past the first third.

[glidedrxlr22]

I've tried to get into Assassin's Creed, but I just can't. I played AC2 and Black Flag and lost interest before completing them.

[nightprowler10]

Sounds like there are some bugs and framerate issues that need to be patched ASAP. Not sure if these issues are console specific.

[nightprowler10]

I've tried to get into Assassin's Creed, but I just can't. I played AC2 and Black Flag and lost interest before completing them.
Yeah if you couldn't finish AC2, which was the best out of the bunch, this isn't for you.

[Heavincent]

This is the first time I won't be buying Assassin's Creed. From what I've seen, this game looks like an unfinished mess. Ubisoft should have delayed it.

It's a shame, because I've always liked AC, with the exception of the third one. The Ezio trilogy was fantastic, Black Flag was pretty good, and even the first one had its moments.

[Heavincent]

Sounds like there are some bugs and framerate issues that need to be patched ASAP. Not sure if these issues are console specific.

Yeah apparently the frame rate hovers around 20fps at times, which is just ridiculous. It has some major pop in issues too...NPCs literally spawn right in front you. Shit like that is extremely distracting to me.

Straight garbage. Ubisoft admits they made a deal with M$ to keep the console playing field even (which is whatever I was gonna buy the game further down the line possibly) but after it performs notably worse on the better spec console? **** that.


Sorry Ubisoft, after the critical failure of Watch Dogs (I'm one of the 1200 people that actually like it), the horrible The Crew beta, and this shit? I'm out.


After reading some of the reviews I find it funny that the unnecessary control scheme change is a common complaint because it still doesn't work :lol

[Le Shaqtus]

I'm getting bummed out, I was so excited to get it :(

[nightprowler10]

So I still got it, as I would've anyway, and though I've only played 30 minutes, it looks beautiful and feels great. I haven't played too many PS4 titles to be able to properly compare, but the environment so far looks amazing. The limited combat I engaged in is very different thus far. I got attacked by two guys at once and dodging one meant getting potentially hit by another unless you quickly dodge or parry. I'll have a better feeling as the game progresses.

I love the parkour so far. It feels better than AC3/BF. I haven't used the descent thing too much but I'd say Arno descends just fine without it.

I did come across two glitches in the short time I played it. Once I saw a man trying to run through a door and not going anywhere...forever. Another time I got stuck in the crowd and had to run to get unstuck. No NPC's popping up out of nowhere yet.

I should be able to give it a proper go tonight.

[Thorpesaurous]

I actually gave it a pretty solid run last night. Home by 530, but an hour or so to get everything installed (system update, game, (Tomb Raider I bought used off the cuff and got that installed too), then all the code redeeming). Even after all that I was going until about 11 last night. Made it through the prologue which really just sets the story and does a bit of tutorial. Then there's a second act to the prologue that is in a small space in Versaille, but I still felt compelled to strip the whole area. Then a third prologue act that also serves as a turorial.

Once I got through all that I hit the first few viewpoints I could find, tracked down a few treasures, and checked a few other map points just to see what they were, and shut it down.

So far I'm pretty pleased. I ran into a little pop in here and there. Mostly with interior settings. It's got way way more interior passways than all the others combined. Windows and doors cut through all manner and size of buildings. And when running through I'd run into apparently nothing, only to have it turn into a desk or something an instant later.

Otherwise it is pretty stunning visually even with the reduced framerate. Just the volume of NPC on screen is really overwhelming. And the viewpoints and cityscape which is always a big part of these games for me is incredible. And they're doing some remarkable things with the lighting effects.

Gameplay wise I really like the layout of the map. I love all the new accessible interiors. It felt smoother getting from place to place or running away from people because there's less "hard" interference, like always having to climb a wall in the older ones, where this feels almost more like driving because the cut throughs are so all over the place.

I also agree with Nightcrawler, the freerunning to me feels better than both of the previous installments, which is another thing that is huge for this series for me. And I loved it in both AC3 and BF (I'm apparently the only person who liked AC3). It is harder to accidently fall from a ledge now. And the descending thing feels way more functional than just a change for change's sake. Especially because of all the window's that lead to interiors.

The map looks loaded with things to do. So that's good. That's another big part for me.

The weaknesses, other than the pop in issues I've had. There's a real push to integrate other interfaces with the game. Some kind of app that doesn't appear available at this point in order to access blue colored treasure chests. And another series of yellow chests that require leveling up through some ubisoft connected account. I really hate this insistence on trying to force the game to become some ubiquitous event that I have to be working on all over my existence. It's supposed to feel like an escape, not a job. There's also microtransactions, but I don't think they're going to feel too invasive. I also haven't gotten into the multiplayer stuff yet, so I'll have to see how that feels.

The story seems pretty meh so far. But I gotta give them the benefit of the doubt, and there's been little interference from the current time stuff yet, which is a plus in my book.

[nightprowler10]

I've talked to two other people at work that have played the game for a couple of hours on PS4 and they have had the same impressions as myself and Thorp. There are minor things that are bothersome, but overall the game looks really really good.

I agree with Thorp on the massiveness as well. It's amazing how many NPC's are in a single shot at times, and I was taken back by the first viewpoint I did at how many buildings just that district had that stood out.

On the descent, I did notice that you can press and hold circle to slide off of roofs on to the ground. I didn't try it out but my coworker did and was very impressed with it. And agreed, the freerunning is very smooth. The first adult Arno mission is to get away from someone and I instantly noticed how easy it was to go where you wanted to go.


I also agree with Nightcrawler

I apologize, I still have the movie in my head I think.




Also worth noting, the three dimensional map with the rotation stuff on it is a minor touch, but I like it.

[KyleKong]

So get this game or nah?

Too many mixed reviews for my liking.

[KyleKong]

I'm getting bummed out, I was so excited to get it :(

Same man, looks like this will be the first Assassins Creed game I don't play.

[nightprowler10]

Wait a few days. I'll definitely be playing a lot more and post my reviews here.

[RoseCity07]

These games look boring. Never been able to get into AC. Plus Ubisoft sucks. I won't buy an games rated T for teen. It just means the game play is sh*t. If I want to play fun kids games I'll buy a Nintendo console.

[Le Shaqtus]

I'm gonna buy it anyway, I'm going to enjoy it regardless of the reviews. The one I enjoyed the least of revelations and I still had fun with it, this can't be worse.

[Heavincent]

Revelations was a great game imo. For me, it goes:

II
Brotherhood
Revelations
IV
I
III

Almost the same.

I contradicted myself and said I liked Revelations the least, but I actually like it more than I obviously because it's much more expansive, and I just didn't like III.

I've seen a couple wonky things. Trying to loot while your sword is still drawn yields this rediculous wagging the sword around and a machine gun whipping sound.

I'm still not that far. Just chewing up viewpoints and chests.

[Le Shaqtus]

Just finished sequence 9, my main gripe is how janky the free running can get, I've had like two frame rate issues. Story is pretty good, I like the customisation but I'm have trouble making money to buy anything. But now I have lockpick lvl 3 and now I'm gonna start getting all the chests.

Really like the rift levels, which only reinforces the fact that they need to make a WWII game.

Can anyone explain to me how the nomad chests work and such?

Yeah, I really haven't gone through any of the sequences yet. I've mostly been hunting down chests and doing some side stuff, tracking down all the viewpoints. I've spent my money upgrading the theatre, which is now yielding some money. And I've spent a bit on bypassing some of the lesser weapons and just jumping to the best of the mid tier weapons.

I've tracked down Nomad Points on the map and they just don't accept. And the app they say you need to use (which is something that irritates the hell out of me based just on principal), doesn't seem to exist.

I've also had some juttery framerate issue in a few spots. There's definitely some pop in of NPCs if you're moving fast. I also seemed to climb down the inside of a wall last night only to pop back to the outside near the bottom.

[nightprowler10]

My thoughts after finishing 4.5 sequences.

Likes:

-Free running (not sure why shaqtus doesn't like it)
-Combat difficulty (I've been wanting something like this forever)
-Leveling up
-Story so far
-Looks beautiful
-Rift levels (I've only played the first one but it reminds me of the dream sequences in Arkham series)

Dislikes:

-Extragame activities being tied to important things like getting different robes (Initiates, companion app stuff)
-Framerate issues pop up randomly but are far and few in between
-Game freezes. Happened to me twice on the same day but never since.
-Got stuck in the theater while watching a play. Had to fast travel to get out of it.
-Modern day story is VERY lackluster.

Don't you need some more skills in order to loot some chests? And you only get those skills after sequences 2 and 5.

[Thorpesaurous]

I got through Sequence Two. I'm going after all the white chests, many of which now seem to be locked behind doors that I can't get behind. But for the most part I'm picking them up as I hit viewpoints. That's my goal as I go. And I do whatever other side missions I stumble across too. Along with picking up the random event stuff. I've tackled an awfull lot of purse thieves.

Oh yeah, that ****s awesome. Soooo much better than chasing the Borgia couriers who could magically run and climb as good as Ezio.

I finally hit all the Viewpoints. I've completely renovated The Theatre, and I have about 12K in cash still at the moment. And another 10K in Creed Points. I still haven't started Sequence 3, but it's time to start really playing now.

I agree with your list completely, at least from what I've played so far. It really aggravates me with the non-game stuff tied in.

It's not so bad now, just had to get used to it.

I also upgraded my lockpick all the way, otherwise those chests are damn near impossible to open which is really annoying. My belt only holds 5 lockpicks and I usually go through 2 picks on the 3 lock chests.

For the cafe theatres how do they yield more money? I've bought every single one, and renovated the main one all the way, yet my yield money is still really low.

That's a lot of cash. I'm basically mission to mission right now, as in I only refill consumables when I get mission completion cash, so I never have more than 1500 in my pocket. What would you say was the most profitable activity?

Actually that's another thing I like about this game, cash is not easy to come by, and the only way you can get certain consumables is by buying them. This adds a layer of difficulty we never had before.

Anyway, finished sequence 5 last night. I'm liking Arno more and more as the game progresses. Seems to have a Nathan Drake type personality.

I also did my first co-op mission last night with a coworker. Basically, all those missions that say 4 players max, it doesn't mean you can play them with 2 apparently. So when my friend and I joined it hooked us up with 2 randoms. This was a good thing because the mission would've been too long without them. I was a bit confused at first with regards to what the goal was but I also had a 4 month old baby trying to get my attention, so yeah. But it was fun. The eagle vision as modified in Black Flag REALLY comes in handy here. At one point I was stuck trying to battle 7 guards while not having great melee stats, and I'm like where the **** is everybody else? So I turn on the eagle vision and see all of them are in the next building over actually doing the mission. Whoops. So I hightailed it out of there. I got enough creed points by finishing this and sequence 5 to upgrade my health and get double air assassination.

Also, though I had to quit the game after the co-op, it looks like you can roam Paris with your friends. So you don't join a co-op mission and then your friends join you, rather you join them on the streets and then go look for missions.

Really fun. Can't wait to get back on and do the heist missions. Are there still people in this thread waiting to see how this turns out? I'd say from what I've seen so far, this game is worth the $. And if you find a great deal on black Friday, it'd be stupid not to get it for someone that likes AC. Just ignore the critics on this one IMO.

You must be pretty far into the game to be able to buy that. Isn't that shit incredibly expensive? Or can you get creed points by doing other stuff?

Also, didn't realize there were other cafe theaters.

[Rose]

Ordered it from gamefly since I got a free trial. Your reviews pushed me to do it.:oldlol: Might be the type of AC game that really only appeals to the hardcore AC players (like Revelations). Looks like it brought back my other least favorite aspect of the games (after the stupid bombs) the lock picking shit. :facepalm

Going from viewpoint to viewpoint, I seemingly checked on every white chest out there, and the majority of the red ones, even though most I couldn't open yet. That's probably where most of my money came from.
I didn't spend much of anything on equipment yet. I have the best of the mid range swords, it was about 5K. And I bought a belt for about the same price range that allows me to carry way more gear. I can carry 19 lock picks I think.

Other than that I dumped all my money into the theatre, which is now yielding me I wanna say 750 bucks every couple of hours.

Most of my creed points went toward my health, but I seem to be at a point where I can't upgrade anything in spite of all the points, I think because I really need to do some missions. I seemed to get most of them by doing random events, hitting viewpoints, cutting out alarm bells, tackling thieves and the like. I know I'm up to completing 40 public events now, like the tackling and killing thieves. And that went up by fives and I got creed points for every list I completed. The last list yielded a lot of money and creed points.

I also did solved two of the symbol riddle things. That yielded creed points. And did a bunch of the theatre missions and some of the other side mission stuff that was rated at two stars or less. My guy is still at one star.

How many stars do you guys rate out at at this point?

[Thorpesaurous]

And has anyone used the stupid app?

I finally found it today, and it prompted me to use WiFi to download it because it's so big. I really don't want an app that big on my phone. So I figured I'd pull it down on my tablet when I get home. I really just want to open the stupid blue chests. I've collected a handfull of those Nomad points, and they seem to do nothing, and at least one of them just won't collect even when I'm standing right on it.

I've also gotten over 50 of those cockades by the way, and that yielded a good amount of Creed Points. My thinking is that when I start moving through the story, I'll be able to upgrade in big chunks since I've gotten such a big head start on the collectables.

Thanks for that. I need to go hunting for these things cuz I is broke.

I think the star rating is dependent on the storyline. My rank went up to 2 stars after sequence 5. I'm a soldier now.

Assassin rank must be independent of the star rating. Maybe it's story dependent, which makes little sense to me.


My sister said this is her favourite Assassin's Creed game. That and II.

I'm not even halfway through so I can't rank it yet, but there are certain things this game really gets right for the first time ever. I love the mission designs so far. I just did a mission in sequence 6 that had a lot of framerate issues, but the actual mission was awesome and required a lot of planning. There seem to be more than one way to do things as you get further into the game, in this sense the missions remind me of older Splinter Cell games.

PS: Upgrade the hell out of your lockpicking skill before starting the first sequence 6 mission. It'll make things a LOT easier.


Am I missing out on Unity cuz i'm playing Rogue.

I would say you're doing it the right way. I am planning on buying Rogue on black friday if I can, but it's going to be excruciating to play a reskin of Black Flag after this.

[Noob Saibot]

ok. ive seen some mixed reviews about unity. but rogue has been great so far, grenade launcher ftw. :dancin

[Rose]

On that same Rogue note, apparently it's getting great reviews. And since it serves as a sequel to Black Flag I'm definitely gonna get it sooner rather than later probably.

Got my unity copy this morning. instead of just repeating all the bad parts of the game that I got and everyone else, I gotta say this story is starting out as really really interesting. I'm definitely feeling the story, and that's the only reason why I'm still playing it. I also might be the only person who doesn't like the new combat system. I'll give it some time since I don't have all the weapons yet, but my initial impressions are negative.


I'm also really glad they decided to scrap the universal camera idea they were originally gonna implement.

[Rose]

I'm gonna give the game a couple more hours of gameplay. But I'm really not feeling the free running at all. It feels unnatural, and I'm iffy on the combat still even though I have most of the weapons that appear by sequence 4.

The co-op stuff is kind of good, if you have someone to work with. But I went through 2 idiots on my way to completing the Paton mission.

[nightprowler10]

I spent 2 hours last night doing co-op with a buddy. That **** rocks. Some of the missions are very difficult. We tried our hand at a 3 star mission that required 4 players and we got our asses handed to us over and over again until we came up with a proper strategy.

Haven't played any of the main story since I started playing co-op.

[nightprowler10]

Have been doing lots of co-ops with friends. It's much better if you join a party outside the game first. That way you don't stop talking to them during loading screens.

I have been creeping through the storyline as well, and am at the cusp of what should be the last mission. The story is decent so far, with some parallels with AC2 and Black Flag. How far along is everybody else at?

[Anti Hero]

What kinds of weapons you guys using. I got the mid-range mace. Upgraded my gear to have mostly hp perks. Checked out my "what kind of assassin are you" I got "Rioter". Having a lot of fun, unlocking the viewpoints now like the other poster suggested, racking up money a lot faster now. Only a few missions in, mostly doing side quests.

I had focused my money and upgrades from the Assassin Points, and my perks, toward the one handed weapons, so I just saved up until I could buy the best unlocked one handed weapon I could get. It's a thick double sided sword. I don't recall the name of it though. It was like 225K. It's really allowed me to muscle through even the 5 diamond side missions. I think I have 4 more Assassin missions to do and I will have finished all the side missions.

I don't recall the name either but my friend has it. He said it's exactly as good as the one you get after finishing the main story so I didn't bother buying it. I did buy one of the mid-valued pistols and upgraded and it's been a life-saver. I was doing the Political Prisoners co-op mission last night and I had to take out 3 snipers on a tower from far away. I got up on the rooftop of another tower and took 3 headshots without reloading. It was sweet.

I started with mid level stuff, but after that I started pulling down enough money that I began saving for only the highest rated available stuff. I have that sword, the highest rifle I could get, the highest chest, head, foot, belt, and breaches I could get.

But beyond those items I haven't bought anything. I own zero long weapons for example.

I haven't played in a week or so.
