>AC1 is still probably my favorite of the bunch. Great setting. The weapons served different purposes, rather than being upgrades of each other. Real neat.
>AC2 was an improvement mechanically but suffered from the same thing a lot of movie trilogies at the time did. The second entry was just there to set up for the third and nothing really happens. The game is literally Desmond training by reliving the training of Ezio. More happened than Pirates of the Caribbean 2 I guess.
>Brotherhood is just a standalone expansion pack for 2 but that's not a bad thing.

>3 was almost good. Connor's kind of an insufferable cunt with all his CHARLES LEE but both his dads were kinda based. Tree running paths were a bit too limited so a lot of players will spend a ton of time just sprinting across an open field. Some of the Desmond sections were really cool though, you can really see the potential they threw away to milk it as an annual franchise.
I didn't play the rest.

Play Black Flag. It expands on the ship stuff from AC3 and is worth playing.

I played the first one when it was new retard, the faggot who wants an indentity on 4ch is the sad little zoomer looking for a father figure.

I miss the winter woods of Boston where the angry Injun could rooooaaaaaam

It was unrefined but it's a much better feeling concept than what we got later. Learning more about your target, exposing weaknesses in their defense, setting up your escape, it was all meant to give the feeling of a calculating assassin rather than just "Go here, stab guy. He's going to escape or be the wrong guy or something though to pad time." Like the missions you're talking about are filler too, but it's less infuriating.

2 > Revelations > Black Flag > Origins > Brotherhood > Syndicate > 3 > 1 > Unity

Brotherhood > Black Flag >>>>>>> human feces > the rest

This was literally the only good assassins creed, after that they turned the main character into an Italian pleb

That’s a lot of projection buddy. Want to tell me more about your dad or lack thereof?

What does LB do?

2 is best you can't prove me wrong and if you disagree it's because you huff dick smell at the docks as a friday night hobby

>not an asscreed game first
Kill yourself.

2 Was the peak of the series, Brotherhood was a let down of a follow up

Left Bumper was like the "assassin's aid" where fifty arrows come firing from nowhere and kill absolutely everyone you were engaged with. You could aggro half a fortress and just wipe them out in bhood, plus they tuned the enemies to basically attack so slowly that your health regen could make you outlast them for an absurd amount of time

Yeah, I remember that part about Brotherhood, at one point you're way too powerful. At least Revelations nerfed the apprentices and added more challenging enemies, like the janissaries.

Is this the most souless game ever made?

No, the later ass creeds exist for one.

Ezio was the peak of the series.

I've never understood the boner for Black Flag

I played all the games on release and I never understood the Ezio circlejerk.

I liked the AC games until Blackflag, maybe Rogue as well but after that I just hate everything about them and haven't touched any of the newer games. Don't know about Unity though, never touched that nor am I interested in it.

I know I actually attempted Syndicate at some point and i lost interest not even halfway through the game because of that ridiculous level based combat, couldn't tackle fights the way I wanted unless I had the right level to fight the enemies, if not they'd just be massive damage sponges that'd kill you in like 2~3 hits, piece of shit.

Haven't touched any of the new RPG styled AC games and probably never will either, they look disgusting. I know they might've had to somehow change direction to keep the series from getting stale but come on...

The squeal to me was very soulful and still felt consistent with the style and themes of the first game. It was Brotherhood and Revelations that really fucked the game and 3 was just the final nail in the coffin for any merit this series had.

I loved that game user. The atmosphere and city was never done like that before. It was fun for a while but ultimately simplistic and repetitive.

The first game sucks and it's a shame because Altair is the only video game protagonist I can think of who has a good character arc

AssCreed 2 was great. Huge leap in game features and storytelling.

Too bad they're Ubisoft and simply recycled everything and added bits of pieces to every sequel.

Liked all that I played but after Blackflag/Rogue the series is shit. Only reason 3 is above 2 and one is because in 2 the only viable weapon is hidden blades since any grunt above the first tier can straight up deny your killstreaks/counter kills and 3's multiplayer was pretty fun also Wolfpack

It unintentionally makes sense. The setting of AC1 is supposed to reflect the peak of the assassins and their order.

Because bird mean look'n'jump

>Ass Creed 1
It has aesthetics but it's fucking trash overall.

>ride your horse back to the base

>through a weird, kinda empty/shitty hub area thingy

>the annoying animus modern day shit

I guess the last bit is just narrative preference, but Ass Creed had some issues. 2 is better.

Not the guy you're replying to but the part of 3 I liked the least was the ship combat and I was so confused when everyone was excited for black flag because it would be even more of it.

Something tells me this series was always kind of mediocre. I was 13 when I first played the game and I remember my friend coming over after school and we would just assassinate guards and get into combat. We'd do this for hours and we thought it was the coolest game in the world. While those were great memories and I look back on them fondly, I can't help but notice the experience we had was pretty shallow and if my adult self was to play it again for the first time today, I don't think I would get nearly as much enjoyment.

Based.

I finished AC1 multiple times when it came out simply based on it's novelty, and I couldn't even bother to finish last act of AC2. Bigger doesn't mean better.

>Playing legit normalfag garbage

How was
>no good cities or buildings or anything tall to climb because lol colonial America
not your main complaint? Also, the changes to the parkour system (making it literally one button instead of two) was annoying as shit. 3 is possibly my least favorite Ass Creed.

>bigger doesn't mean better
No, but variety in an open world game is almost always better than not-variety. It's not like Ass Creed has good stealth or anything anyway.

AC1 was a passion-driven, succinct and novel experience. Everything afterwards is big business wage-slavery but still fun.

Oh it's my least favourite too, and I said the ship parts where what I liked least, I didn't hate them more than the flaws the game had. I also just couldn't stomach the idea of a game with even more of the ships, hence I stopped playing after 3.

2 is a great example of how to improve on your previous game in almost every single way while maintaining the formula.

how would Assassins Creed have ended had
Patrice Désilets gotten his way

You guys complain a lot about mission variety in AC1 but 80% of missions in the rest of the games are literally "tail these two faggots talking for 5 minutes while optional objectives will make it not-mindbogglingly boring"

it was very repetitive

Cringe
Black flag>Odyssey>3>rogue>brotherhood>2>1>revelations>shit>liberation
Haven’t played the rest

3 was sad. I genuinely gave a damn about Connor and his story because from the getgo I knew he wasn't going to haave a good time and I wanted him to stop being a stubborn jackass.

The combat was deliciously brutal and satisfying, but trying to escape the chases was damn near impossible with the fucking dudes on the rooftop. The colonies weren't built for stealth so you just end up killing EVERYTHING and running into another fight every eight steps.

>The combat was deliciously brutal and satisfying
Connor has the best combat animations. Built like a tank too.

I concur wholeheartedly with these assertions.

Some people will tell you that Unity is the only game in the series to recapture the vision of the original. And it's true to an extent. But the game also feels half-done.

I haven’t played this game in 10 years, yet I heard it as I read the line.

Bravo OP. Put a smile on my face.

>all the hate on revelations
this i dont understand, i think the game was fine (except for that fucking TD mechanic) and the map was pretty comfy, also has best assassin bro

Agreed. It's the only proper Assassin game in the series and it still has the best atmosphere.

My brother. The series lost me with AC3 and onwards, but Origins is legit great.

black flag, rogue and unity are pretty good

Curse him! Curse the Christian king and his army of infidels! They go against the will of god and must be made to pay. Everywhere they ride they leave only suffering in their wake. They say it is a crusade. A crusade for what? Ignorance? Violence? Madness? We must resist! We must fight them in any way we can!

I kill the cuck everytime i hear that heretic's lies

Can’t believe i still hear it 10 years later

They didn't fuck up, AC produced some fun games with interesting settings. Milking it with yearly releases before they worked out the gameplay and esp. the puppeteer controls wasn't a good idea though, if only because it made playing through them seem a bit of a slog when most players will still be halfway through one of the older games when two or three new ones already hit the shelves.

I was just so burned out when it came out I just couldn't keep playing past the tutorial ghost world or whatever

Which Ubisoft absolutely fucked with the novelization of AC3. The Kenway boys (and Edward's daughter too) all had a rough fucking time man, I hate it.

How do you mean? Wasn't the Ac3 novelization out before Black flag? And how does it ruin things?

I know Edward is killed 5 years later and his kids are orphaned

It's more refined and easier in black flag

too bad they fucked up the weight and feel of the ship combat, I thought it was a downgrade.

I was around 13 when AC1 came out and it was the first game that ever blew me away graphically. It was such a step up from the previous gen

>altair just mercilessly murders an old innocent man
based character

>being so contrarian as to pretend 1 is better than 2, brotherhood, IV or even revelations
Stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

You got it. Edward, the master assassin and leader of the assassins at the time, isn't only killed years later, he's killed by mooks. Fucking mooks.

His best friend (who is a templar) raises his son into a templar (which isn't so bad because Haytham is fucking based), but his daughter is sold into slavery.

Haytham goes on to get killed by his son because Connor is tragically duty-bound to the wrong era of assassins, and Connor grows old and alone and miserable after his wife takes their kids and leaves him.

Although I've heard that bit was Templar meddling in his memories and he actually had a very happy life after the game, which I sincerely hope. At least Connor deserves to have a good life to cap off the shit Edward and Haytham had in theirs.

>AC1
>Weapons served a different purpose

Are you high? All you needed to do was counter. In the end I barely used the sword, because the hidden blade and dagger finishers were more brutal.

>altair is muslim
most of the people you kill are muslims though, only 3 christians, and even those werent actual christians

There was no health regen in brotherhood was there? You had to use the potions

Even though mechanically the Ezio trilogy was better, everything about the atmosphere in the first game has yet to be topped. You felt like a real assassin tracking down your target, learning how best to kill them and then escape. I just want the series to go back to that and it never fucking will.

One of the collectables is to murder crusaders.

I killed the Muslim "preachers" who would stand on the street and go on about the evil Christians, twas satisfying :^)

and its said by the game that neither assassins nor templars (the faction not the knights) are religious
Assassins and their creed say that everything is permitted (no rules, no gods) while the templars during the crusades are just using them for cover to do their own shit as they dont follow god but the father of understanding (order and knowledge)
and if you count NPC's, you spend more time killing muslims and jews than crusaders

Templars, turns out some of these Templars weren't Christians either.

>and its said by the game that neither assassins nor templars (the faction not the knights) are religious

Blackflag > Brotherhood > 2 > Rogue > Revelations > 1 > 3

with all the bullshit that was out at the time, this game was like a wet pretty pussy. i had to go balls deep. series was satisfying up until syndicate.

had high hopes for origins, loved the idea of egypt...but that rpg and trash combat shit just isn't for me.

Stay mad anglocuck

>The colonies weren't built for stealth
This, the time period did not gel well with the gameplay style of the earlier games and their focus on social stealth and going vertical. I miss the series being set in dense cities on a smaller scale, but Ubi had to compete with the open world meme and make Origins/Odyessey fuckhuge.
Black Flag is vastly overrated and reddit, but otherwise I pretty much agree with your list. If you like the older games in the series and want a little less of "The Witcher in Egypt or Greece" of the new ones, Unity isn't bad. I've yet to play Syndicate but it's on my list.

Brotherhood honestly has the most satisfying (tad a bit imba) ranged combat I've played in this series
>see that horse riding commander? javelin throw his face
>see that commander in the end of the tunnel? halbred throw his face

Here's another (You) since you're so needy, faggot.

>I've yet to play Syndicate but it's on my list.
The setting is great but I'm a sucker for the Victorian age, the story is meh and Jacob can be annoying compared to Evie.

I'm not expecting a whole lot, got it for dirt cheap. If it's more the style of the older games I think I'll be pleased.

So why did the writers kill her?

Attached: Retrieval_18.png (1920x1080, 1.65M)

>Edward the Master Assassin
Did they seriously pull that shit. He didn't even become an assassin in 4 ffs, he only killed the templars because he wanted the observatory instead

He did become an assassin by the very end though and became dedicated to the cause.
I also liked Desmond.
So they could have an easier time killing off Desmond. No loose ends.

IIRC her voice actress wanted more money to do it, and Ubi actually made a smart decision to say fuck that, as voice acting is one of the least important aspects of any game and not worth the money.

No one actually liked the majority of the first game beyond the first few hours right? I mean everything that isn't an assassination, modern timeline or having just recently transitioned to a new city, right?

It was tolerable to see the ending but it was so padded with copy-pasted side-quests it was a real drag after just two cities.

Thanks anglocuck

Contract was up and the actress probably wanted more money so they killed her off. It's the same reason why Desmond's look started changing hard after brotherhood too.

I never understood this shit from people. There's only so much memory consoles have. The replay value was found in the scattered enemies and collectibles.

No it wasn't. It was a nice proof of concept, 2 and Brotherhood are good.

>Task variety is hard limited by memory
What the fuck are you on about?

Impeccable taste.

>Jacob can get annoying
That's because the writers have a hate boner for Jacob. Every time he kills someone some bullshit happens, usually as an unforeseeable result of it, and Evie fixes "his" mess.

Map size, cutscenes, npc's, animations, side missions etc etc. Every game stuffs as much as they can into it.

I mean it's not hard to figure out where game reaches it's limits. I remember playing GTA3 to it's limits and wanting more. Problem is there wasn't room for more.

AC could have sacrificed map size and open wolrd'ish traveling for more variety in tasks within smaller levels. I guess they thought attempting to create living cities was more appealing and immersive.

This is the best AssCreed.

Open world games padded with copy-pasted content is so pointless. No one remembers them for those two "features". It's just a way to make the game seem longer with less original content. Collecting different pieces and fighting an enemy in otherwise empty areas for no reward other than getting 1 more collectible out of a hundred, or more, is purely for completionist achievements. Not even those people say "wow remember the 45th templar behind the abandoned house at the far edge of the map?" or "I really liked getting that 500th feather scattered completely at random everywhere" or even "The 5th time I blended with monks to enter the city all stealthy, not to mention sitting on a bench to eavesdrop the 12th person". Prioritizing another square mile of collectible infested but uninteractive land to cut everything else meaningful by the feet shows how lowly they think of their players.

>Connor is tragically duty-bound to the wrong era of assassins

That's actually a pretty good way to put it. The Assassins were huge fags in 3, 4 and Rogue. Probably Liberation too but I never played it.

havent played it yet, but i might be able to predict it would be my favorite since the assassins in hindsight seem to be some sort ubisoft's version of antifa lol

Black Flag has some awful missions and shitstain story. I’d put it right above Revelations.

>Open world games padded with copy-pasted content is so pointless.
I agree completely, I'm sick of them to this day. I'd prefer smaller mapped games packed with more variety in content.

In the case of Assassins Creed, not these new ones, but the older ones we're talking about...I'd want more combo's and combat animations. The game was meant to be a new take on Prince Persia and POP had a good amount of combos and variety in combat to begin with.

Think about the people that have been considered Assassins or Assassin good guy allies in these games.

>The Ottomans are good boi Assassin buddies
>The Byzantines are evil Templars
>Even Vlad Tepes is an evil Templar for fighting against the good boy Ottomans
>Karl Marx works with the Assassins
>In every game since AC2 you team up with thieves, whores, beggars, murderous pirates, criminal gangs, mercenary thugs

Yeah, shades of gray or whatever, I get it, but damn when you step back the Assassins are just a bunch of assholes too.

I found my niche in only doing the wristblade counter for a instant kill. The combat wasn't really something that stuck out as bad compared to a lot of other stuff.

I loved the combat, the variety in weaponry, I just wanted more of it after a certain point.

One thing 3 actually had going for it was the brutal combat. Connor really was a savage. Too bad Ubisoft is afraid to make the game remotely challenging. They have all those fucking cool double kill animations that you can barely ever see because enemies barely attack you at all, let alone two at once.

I agree. The narrative is obviously twisted to make the Assassins the good guys- as a kid you kinda just flow with it...but in hindsight you roll your eyes at their attempt to twist the narrative lol.

That's Ubisoft though. Was it Far Cry 5 where they attempted to make the most peaceful part of this country as some sort of violent haven for religious fundamentalists?

I literally read an article on IGN that these fuckwits from Ubisoft were scouting the location in Montana and were quoted as saying something along the lines that "Everyone in this part of America was suspicious about our presence" and that "they didn't feel welcomed." As they intend to depict that location as again, a violent haven of religious fanatics.

Lol these fucking french assholes are legit retarded.

No bullshit, 3 was my favorite. They nailed everything in that game. Everything felt right. Ironically I remember seeing the new graphic engine they were using in screen shots and how everything had softer edges and thought it the game was going to be shit. Ended up being my favorite.

I do wish they expanded on the stealth aspect though, I wish they expanded on the stealth aspect in every AC game though. But especially in that game.

She's too famous and Ubisoft doesn't want to to pay her too much, so they just killed her. There's a period where major AAA Ubisoft games has no remotely famous actors at all in their games and only filled them with no name actors.

Rogue is better than black flag imo

The worst offence is killing off Desmond in 3 and just basically saying “fuck it” to the build up they were doing to the end of the world solar flair scenario and the return of the aliens and Desmond having his own modern AC game. They basically decided to keep making Animus fantasies rather than getting on with the main story they had built up.

If you're playing on PC there are some .ini tweaks you can do to at least alleviate some of the pop-in, but yeah, it sucks. I don't understand why they felt like it needed to be strictly a PS3/360 game when it's based on AC4 which was cross-gen.

Terrible. Odyssey is easily bottom tier.

>>conveniently, basically every important assassination requires doing these same 4 jobs every single time
That's because that's how you were supposed to gather intel on whoever you were supposed to kill. They weren't there to just be played on their own, you just use them to build up to the actual assassination.

The hub zone (Kingdom) was clearly unfinished and cut content, I still wonder to this day what a fully fleshed out AC1 would have been
Perhaps a stronger presence of the war the is always mentioned ? Shifting zones of control based on assassinations ?
The game seems to imply this happens after your assassinations

I played through the series again this past winter. I had stopped after Rogue came out, and this time I played until Syndicate. I've heard some praise for Origins being actually decent, and I don't know if it's genuine or just people being able to talk about it now that its been some time. What makes it as good as the earlier games? I already installed Origins and I'm going to start playing it this weekend.

They went too far with the bullshit in Odyssey.

No thanks brother

Origins doesn't have magic powers or grinding for loot. That's Odyssey.

I still think Unity is the natural evolution of AC gameplay from AC2, it feels like the first real sequel since as well. I'm going to be playing Origins and then Odyssey soon, what am I in for?

Attached: acrate.png (1200x800, 903K)

it does require that you level up to kill enemies of higher levels, even if you stab them trough the neck and shit

also they fucked with the climbing controls (at least they did in Odyssey, which I assume is more of the same)

The real answer - it's just cosmetic. Why not?

The meme answer - Egypt engaged heavily in trade with India, and India engaged heavily in trade with China, it's not too outlandish.

Best non-Kyd track, maybe. Let's be honest though, nothing's going to beat Venice Rooftops. There's a reason they still use it, even in Rogue itself.

a shitty origins game and a non-assassin game
both based on witcher3

flight over venice is better than venice rooftops

Not really. I could one hit enemies with the hidden blade throughout most of the game. It was only at the start when I was facing enemies higher level than me that I ever couldn't.

It is a fair point, but ultimately it's not too dissimilar to those enemies in other games who you could stab 20 times and they just wouldn't die.

I don't give a shit. Here is my OTF knife.

Attached: OTF.png (1704x719, 58K)

Origins has the best protag and probably the best story as well. Egypt is beautiful to explore too, probably the only reason to play the game is to explore it.

They did that since 3.

No they didn't.

How comes when I made this exact same thread a few months ago and nobody replied

Origins:
Mostly similar to the old games. No more countering, instead you have shield parrying / dodging. And yes, enemies have a health bar. Map is amazing to explore, very high attention to detail and authenticity. Story is meh. Main character is good.

Odyssey:
They jumped the shark. You have magic superpowers. You fight cyclopses and Medusa and Minotaur as part of the main quest. There's no fall damage. The game is extremely grindy and even occasionally advertises exp boosts when you open the map. You'll constantly be sorting through loot and scrounging for materials to upgrade it or you'll be severely gimped. Main character is trash and only liked by waifufags. Story is meh.

The two things that come to mind are when you want to grab a ledge hanging right over you but there's no wall to run up to grab it, or when you want to trigger a jump onto a low obstacle to save time instead of doing a slower hop or step-up animation.

You can make something like this out of those small umbrellas that expand when you press a button

It stops the problem of your character jumping in some random ass direction, also can use it escape from guards grabbing you

That's fucking gay. Ubi, you used to make good titties.

No wait, i meant Unity.

Wall-jumps, side-jumps, more movement freedom in general.

Odyssey>entire series

whaooaoaooaoa its so fun for characters to have 1+ second lag with responding to controls, epin console gameplay boys

That sounds extremely situational to the point of being useless. Personally I only remember using manual jump in Ac3/4 to jump out of a crowd of enemies

Oh I agree.

Odyssey is just origins but way worse so you should probably play origins

Same as your OTF-base except less bulky. Blade length is 14 cm, body is 16 cm.

I found use for it a lot when replaying 4 a few days ago, especially during chase missions.

its easy to make it pop out and lock
the difficult part is making it retract with the same movement no matter if its pointing down our up while also guaranteeing it wont activate accidentally. my first prototype was at max 20mm thick at the templar cross part which doesnt stick out if you wear a hoodie sleeve over it, I've since moved the action around a bit and made it 5mm thinner
now im trying to make a connor version so the blade can be turned 90 degrees and disconnected entirely while still being able to function normally

I'm the only one who unironically think Unity was a very good AC game and should have been the stable of the next games in the serie? it actually used stealth and you weren't a fucking warrior, the game also still is gorgeous and Arno was alright as a character.

Way grindier. Way more drawn out. Seriously it took me 110 hours to finish the main quests. Soooo much filler during that time. Always starved for exp. Always starved for crafting materials. Not as many little nice touches and details. Perks and superpowers are such a necessity that regular attacks feel useless. The setting isn't done it's justice, with imaginary things just put in to look cool. They went way overboard with the fantasy shit. No shields in Ancient Greece + Female protag is just weird.

And so on.

A lot of people in these threads are praising Unity these days. It's easier to says good things about it now we are years away from the launch issues it had. Though I never had any problems when I played it at launch. It's still the best looking AC game.

Can't they pull an Ezio and reuse them?

what
I played a pirated copy (1.06) and with some faffing about I clocked in main story completion at 55hrs max level (lv50)
I would agree though, that the game is too big/drawn out for its own good
the map is tedious to traverse after a few hours because you're on your boat 95% of the time

it really bothers me that every assassin post 2 had the same shape hood as ezio
the opening was circular for Altair to look like a monk or some shit, then Ezio had some flare because its the renosance or some shit
then every single fucking assassin has the same thin-on-the-top-very-wide-on-the-bottom-with-a-slight-sag look

I don't see how you did it so quickly. I didn't even dip my toes into the side quests unless I needed exp. In fact the level-gated main quests forced me to grind out whole regions for exp before I could move on. Shit took forever.

Like, 10% chance at best. I would say 0%, but Gods and Monsters is by the Odyssey team and releasing 2 games in 2020 with the exact same formula seems like a stretch even for Ubisoft. They will practically be the same game.

Does AC Unity still have the most "fluid" movement ever in the series? How does it compare to Origins?

I've only seen the ship when you fight against it in Rogue, but it looks like an exact copy of the Jackdaw.

Yeah it does. Origins and Odyssey for that matter have shitty "parkour", it's like in BOTW where you just climb anything by pressing the forward button.

For some reason, even if i don't really like the new games, i can't not like AC, it's a very casual friendly franchise, and yet i always loved it since the first game.
maybe because it's the closest thing to a Prince of Persia...

Thanks mate, I know to avoid Origins now. The parkour is the only thing that keeps me coming back to AC. When everything works right, you can pull of some action movie tier sequences

How does co-op work in Unity? Can my friend and I do the whole game together or what?

There's the single player missions and the coop missions, you can also coop in free roam (i think...)

I know what you mean, but at the same time being shorter saved it from all the padding and tailing missions that plague the other games. And you get all the weapons and tools pretty quickly instead of dragging it out over the whole game. I just wish there had been more content, even if it was just recycled from other games. Boston, The Frontier, more weapons and outfits, more usable ship types, etc. I mean where did all the horses from 3 go anyway?

I feel like if you combined all the good elements from the American AC games into one, that is 3, Liberation, 4, and Rogue, it could make one of best games of all time.

Everyone seems to like Unity, but what's the deal with Syndicate? Why the hate?

Don't think it's hate for it, just indifference. Syndicate was just unity plus grappling hook and wemen

Ubisoft tried to make it as close as they could to the Witcher 3 without getting sued, so if you played W3 you'll notice a lot of similarities in the fighting system
Fights are at long last interesting, you can't counter attack so you have to block and dash around your target to kill it
Side quests are varied and some have great stories and even cinematics
If you like history there's a tour option where you can just walk around the setting with detailed commentaries about egyptian customs and game design
Many mini bosses that either roam the map or are at fixed locations
Difficulty options to satisfy both casuals and players with experience

>Everyone seems to like Unity
meh it was the blandest entry for me personally. A lot of work went into it, but it just seems like it took 20 steps forwards and 40 backwards.

The first game wasn't "great", but it had potential for future greatness. It seemed like an actual stealth game, an an innovative one at that.

Then it immediately turned into an autistic collectathon where there's no reason to stealth ever because your character is an invincible god of combat.

All assassin's creed games are shit, sorry babies

>Milking it with yearly releases ... when most players will still be halfway through one of the older games when two or three new ones already
I definitely wish they hadn't been yearly, but this is an insane hyperbole. One game a year (no, dumb DS/PSP or mobile games don't count as mainline. No one counts them for any other series, so why for this?), for a game that takes maybe 40 hours or something to 100% isn't too bad. If it takes someone a couple years to play an AssCreed, then they're probably legitimately retarded. This isn't some massive thing like Witcher 3 or something.

Well if Unity is good and Syndicate is just that plus new shit, doesn't that make Syndicate good by default?

It's even worse in liberation, I think the only assassin you meet in it is your master, and he attacks you because he's incredibly dumb then kills himself when he realizes how much of a retard he is
I think the templars helped a lot more the population than the assassins did in liberation

CURSE THE CHRISTIAN KING AND HIS ARMY OF INFIDELS

I really liked cowboy templar
>They beached their ship?
>A novel tactic!

No, Unity wasn't good to begin with. Can't polish a turd etc. Unity has the best parkour system though which Syndicate fucks with and changes the map to suite grappling

Syndicate dumbed down the parkour, made combat easier, and didn't focus on stealth & assassinations

But it's its biggest advantage.

For me:
2 > 1 = Black Flag > Brotherhood = Revelations > 3 > Syndicate > Origins > Unity
Haven't played Odyssey or Rogue.

I've seen people complain about his voice acting, but I love how over the top it is.

Altairs knife is so sexy my favorite weapon in the game next to the bruticus dagger or Connors tomahawk

Play Rogue.

Anyone feel as though the PoP influences of the series got lost somewhere after Patrice left?

AC1 and 2 had a huge focus on puzzle platforming that was in line with PoP. They even had a similar atmosphere. Then after that point, the series gradually became a shallow ARPG.

Based fucking taste. Brotherhood was so god damn kino back in the day, and the leap from 1 to 2 was astonishing.

Well that's to be expected. I feel like AC3 was the first one that really showed how different the series was.

Brotherhood introduced one of the worst mechanics in the series, 100% synch requirements.

It's ok at least better than that other bait-list
it could be popularity/hype tier list

Atleast in Brotherhood they were good because they had an actual reason to be there unlike every other game after. Good that they are gone now though.

The series in general has a ton of really sexy weapons. As someone who loves sabres, the sailing games are great. And some of the flintlock pistols give me the big iron.

I don't even remember that so it must not have troubled me. I just remember being drawn in by the lush Roman landscapes and beautiful architecture and building a brotherhood of assassins.

after playing all the AC Games I gotta say the only good ones are 1, 2, Black Flag, and Unity. 3 was ok but also really shit, I may have bias being from Massaschusetts and also enjoying revolutionary war history. A reasons it was shit was how you dont even become an assassin until like half way through the game almost. As much as I liked Connors father the whole multi hour section with him at the start is unnecessary, just start the game as kid connor and skip that shit, it really fucked with the pacing and made the game not worth replaying. But some good part were the tree parkour, seasons, and the environments like revolutionary era Boston, New York etc and a big forest map.

I remember them getting really egregious in Revelations. Like
>Use smoke grenades to stun 3 guards
>Mission is piss fucking easy and doesn't require even going near any guards

If they want to give us a reason to use tools and gadgets like that, then just make the fucking games actually challenging so that using those things is actually useful.

I didn't choose the OCD life, the OCD life chose me.

Seasons were pretty great. I remember the effect of walking through snow and leaving a trail blowing my mind a little bit when it first came out. Too bad they stop changing after you finish the story and changing them counts as cheating.

>tfw havent played any ac game after rogue
Are origin and odyssey really that bad?

>tfw 2 and brotherhood are considered ancient.
>was already a 17 year old and played both when they released.
Didnt realize I was this much of a boomer compared to Yea Forums.

you have to spec in to an assassination skill tree to get enough damage to assassinate enemies in 1 hit

I know that feel bro. I still remember walking to the mall to pick up my collector's edition of AC2 with the tin box and the statue of Ezio. That mall is a half close down nigger infested shithole now.

FPBP and the correct ranking / tier list for asscreed games

1 > 2 > Rev > 3 > BroHood > Black Flag

Black Flag made me drop the series with it's terrible ship combat. I don't get what the fuck people liked about Brotherhood. 1 is the best pure assassin experience, and 2 is a fun jaunt. Wish the series would have got the proper 3rd game conclusion it was meant to have instead of being milked for eternity.

Why did they name the game in which ezio dies 'revelations'? Should have been assassins creed 3.

Ezio doesn't die in Revelations.

It was called Revelations because it was revealed to Ezio that someone was watching his life just like he watched Altairs life

Just realized that ACIII was fucked up and rushed so much that its true realized potential is the equivalent of RDR2 mixed with AC Origins.

On the side note, why the hell isn't Connor's suit in Origins? The guy has a fucking arsenal of gladiator shit to go with bow and arrows.

Retard. Two perfect everything in 1 and expanded. It’s one of the best sequels of all time frankly.

Shit was so comfy it could've been AC: Harvest Moon and we could've just spent the days tending to the homestead, going into town to buy seeds and other tools, then unlocking city helping missions, buy livestock, trade with vendors and other indians, murder charles lee, attend monthly town events, have a family, settle down and be happy.

I don't get why they didn't do a modern era game with desmond after 2. That's what they were building up to in 1.

I wish we lived in the timeline where Rogue got a full cross-gen release with the marketing it deserved and looked as good as Black Flag while Unity got an extra year of development.

Fuck it could have been so god damn cozy. Don't forget that they also originally planned to have free roaming with the ship in 3, but it had to be cut and saved for 4. Now I just want a cozy colonial life/murder simulator.

They tried. Watch Dogs was supposed to be modern AC and even tied the Kenway saga to it, but due to middling reviews and the strain of yearly ACs, they decided to forego the connection.

Is unity worth it? Paris seems nice I skip 3 and odssey witch one should I play out of this three.

>this thread made me remember I had a dream last night that I was being chased by little kids with modern handguns in ass creed 2
I haven't even played assassin's creed in years.

You sail man o wars a couple times in 4

And now he's dead right? I haven't really kept up.

They wasted the setting on Gangs of New York and left Jack the Ripper as DLC no one played.

Who's dead?

Only once and it's fucking short as shit. Total cocktease. You also get to sail Stede Bonnet's schooner and Blackbeard's frigate, so obviously there's no technical problem letting the player sail these things. Should have been able to use captured ships freely if you wanted outside of main missions.

>Early AC Victory threads were legit fun and had people wondering if it's gonna be a twist protagonist where you play as Jack the Ripper but the Templars actually coined you as such because you've been a pain in the ass and you're always chased around by police because of the threat of a serial killer.

Instead we got the lazy version of the wonder twins and the most cartoonish templar villain the series has ever had, even surpassing that of ACII.

Desmond.

>twist protagonist where you play as Jack the Ripper but the Templars actually coined you as such because you've been a pain in the ass and you're always chased around by police because of the threat of a serial killer.

Fuck that actually sounds awesome.

Wasn't that the almost exact plot of the DLC tho?

Honestly just keep AC1 formula of stalking your target and learn about it and improve it. Keep the phylosopical debates and focus the game between templar vs assassins ideals and you have a perfect game.
More stealth, actual multiple paths, one is harder than the other but with different rewards (keep the combat but make it hard if you are sorrounded and make it easier if you just fight one)

Imagine a chaos theory level of details for AC1

Long story short
>Desmond died in ACIII but he has voice files in ACIV that give him some posthumous characterization.
>Later revealed that he had a bastard with a bar patron
>Later revealed that the bastard child is the reincarnation of the Sage, the mortal who laid with a hot goddess

1 was great because the assassinations felt like a big deal. In every game after that most assassinations are literal fucking side quests that take 5 minutes to do.

Yeah but much like the game itself, it was disappointing. I'd be happy to walk the streets of London in Watch Dogs 3 but I'll be damned if I get that bored feeling of Syndicate's rather stiff movement and combat.

oh and when you kill the target, the music, the feel and the church bells tells you JUST FUCK OFF YOU GOT YOUR TARGET, RUN, DONT FIGHT YOU ARE NOT FIGHTER

They fucked this formula later.

AC suffered from gameplay clashing too much with the story. Instead of a regular action game, you get a "simulation" style game which isn't a bad idea in itself, just terribly done with AC's oversimplified way of handling it. It's more reminiscent of Hitman than Chaos Theory.

>Weapons served different purposes
Sword and Dagger were almost identical, counter with hidden blade was always an insta-kill

The only thing about the first game that I missed was the somewhat hidden/overlooked feature where some counters would actually have multiple outcomes. Ever wonder why sometimes you'd have to hit square/x again? If you hit x/a it would break the guy's legs instead, triangle/y would be a headbutt.

Because assassinations were side quests in every game post 1. The first game built the entire game’s structure around preparing for each big assassination. AC2 has some prep work before assassinations, but it’s a lot more brief, and some assassinations just feel rushed as a result.

Actually felt this during a vanilla run of Unity. By vanilla, it means no upgrades but the gun. Shit felt AC1 as fuck but the forced combat missions were a chore.

I remember that mission that they used for E3 in the final game
>Huge bombastic mission with tons of combat and a huge set-piece
>100% is "Do not kill anyone with bladed weapons"
>I equip a blunt mace
>100% fails the instant I kill someone with it
>irl in 1511 Istanbul, Ezio was chucking bombs like an autist and fighting the Ottomans bare-fisted before setting an entire port ablaze with Greek fire

No blade kills is just a fancy way of saying "bombs and fists only".

AC at it’s core started as this strange hybrid between Hitman, PoP and Tenchu. All that is great, but the game undermines itself by being too easy.

>that ram
And I thought the AC4 rams were ridiculous.

I ran through most of the game just using brass knuckles. The kukri was dumb but Evelyn's sword cane combos were pretty good.

Nope. They just handwave it like Arno's psychic abilities.

It's for ice cutting. Game mechanics, it unlocks the charge early and can get you through ice-locked areas.

>Playing Brotherhood
>Get the Dagger of Brutus
Those fucking counter kills, user.

Fuck the outfit though. That thing was like satire whenever you use the blend in crowd function.

In AC1 they had a neat concept where the face buttons directly corresponded to to Altair's body parts. Top button was his head, left and right buttons where his left and right arms, and the bottom button was his legs. They dropped this pretty quick later on.

Sounds like GodHand but with parkour. Technically that's still the case for the early games, but they replaced the left and right arms with shoving and attacking.

that's not the point at all, you'd be offended by anything other than the opposite

I loved that part of AC1. Once you though of it like that, you never forgot the controls.

>Equip two-handed sword
>Throw it into someone's head to get rid of it

No fucks given. Bad Vlad's sword in Revelations was fucking brutal too.

Ezio as a brute in AC2 was the best way to play. I only started to play him more like Altair around half way through Brotherhood.

It was a neat gimmick but ultimately it just made the controls clunkier for no good reason

The only shame about Rogue is that the cities are less lively compared to ACIII.

Of course
All white people are bad and authority figures are especially bad

That and they don't have any horses so getting around without fast travel can be tedious.

It does have some non-important but annoying little things about it, like that FUCKING mis-matched pistol glitch that's been in these games since fucking AC3.

But what's the point if you don't play as his kid.

Could be worse. You could've been stuck with half a duckfoot hanging from your side like the clipping fuck that it is.

I could never bring myself to use the duckfoot in the first place, it just looked too retarded. I did appreciate that 3 gave you the option to get rid of your large weapon and just carry the tomahawk as a main weapon. Feels a lot better not having big swords dangling off of you while you're running through the trees. I wish AC4 had that option.

Kid's gone rogue and no one knows where he is after he killed his mother's murderers. In other words, Ubisoft's gonna pull a Daniel Cross on him.

It does, but it requires pulling of an incredibly tedious glitch. I mean look at how sexy this outfit is without the swords.

Would have been nice if 4 had multiple options for weapons, like how 3 let you carry an axe or a sword. The one handed sword animations in 4 when you pick one up from an enemy are nice.

I wish Shay had a slightly fancier fighting style, more like Haytham and less like Edward.

Mom's killed in the process and now little Elijah Miles takes things into his own hands and decides to go out and kill Juno.

Shay's flaw is being the third game in the milk series. A popular tradeoff where the less bugs there are, the more things are recycled. As a result, it's the Revelations of Ezio's trilogy. Arguably, he's had more luck than Aveline.

no it wasn't, the first game, while certainly unique among any game before it, was repetitive as fuck

however, AC2 is a gem and I love it

THIEF! I'LL HAVE YA HAND FOR THAT

Also, I have the PC versions, which I heard were fucked. Anything I should know?

I'm amazed his game came out as good as it did. Probably my favorite overall, but I haven't played Unity yet.

Not sure if I'm correct but I think I found those swords even without the code. I just looked up a youtube video finding the swords, tapped that interact button around the beach until the cutscene appeared.

When you play Rogue, do the .ini tweak to fix some texture pop-in.

pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Assassin's_Creed_Rogue#Increase_textures_quality_and_draw_distance

Make sure you do this after you set all the in-game graphics options to maximum first.

Rogue is not a an AC game.

>Alien shit has been in since the first game

Unity's an absolute mixed bag. Good to look at, but exploration's middling. Stealth is great but there are fored combat missions. The combat animations isn't too memorable, the rifles don't have a huge range, the story is terrible but the customization, the huge array of weapons, great interiors almost make up for all of it. Syndicate makes the game look flawless and Origins is arguably the AC Rogue/Revelations of it, improving it significantly.

Gonna try this right now, will report back.

>Rogue
>Not an AC Game
Pick one and only one, user.

>That thick and mystic atmosphere
>Creepy as fuck music
It felt like we were messing with things we weren't supposed to

When they introduced the boat shit the assassin.concept died. So both.

get a better computer i guess

Gonna play Unity soon. Bought it a while back to do co-op with a friend but he dropped the game before he even got out of the tutorial. Got Syndicate in the summer sale and decided to do a replay of the games, starting with 3. Couldn't even finish that shite, but just finished 4 and am working through Rogue. How much am I missing out on if I don't have a co-op partner for Unity?

Fuck yeah, the AC1 felt like a mix of eastern mystery music and area 51 stuff. If it had more interiors to get into, it would've probably been more memorable.

Nah I mean the gameplay videos looks Syndicate-choppy. Trying to get good impressions from the game and I'm not impressed so far but then again I haven't the series played since quitting Syndicate.

I think it is to AC2 what AC2 is to AC1. Its just unfortunate that arno is a shit character, gameplay wise its peak assassins creed

So AC4 isn't an AC game then?

Not much. The coop is actually fun as fuck and you'll just be missing some of that fun. You can still play the coop missions solo but be warned that one of the missions where you have to go on a parkour challenge for a Templar and you're given an extremely limited time to finish it because the game expects four people and not one. It's not impossible but you'll have to memorize a youtube video of it.

Also update that shit to the latest so you can find the legacy suits without having to go online as much.
