Assassins Creed Syndicate

[Beny]

Dammit Asscreed why did you have to pick such a great setting. I've been happily ignoring you for years but now I might have to make an exception.

 

[Captured Joe]

Commies!

And of course there are pre-order DLC stuff in the first trailer.

 

[Swissky]

My brother is named Jacob and he sympathizes with Commies, this is right up his ally. 
Where's muh muttonchops and muh top hats?

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

They're all the same. There's nothing to explain.

 

[Vieira151]

I was like, "Oh my, he isn't wearing a hood?"




Then he goes and pulls one up. Meh. Also, calling it: A new generation of top hat wearing cheekbeards.

 

[BenKenobi]

Victorian era and no steampunk!

But then again, it is AC.

I find it hard to respond to this with anything other than a resounding "meh". Yeah, okay, the setting is cool, I'll give them that. But it's just going to be the same damn thing for the umpteenth time with nothing interesting to spice it up. There are carriages in the streets now, I guess? Big whoop.

What about the mission structure? Will there be more freedom in how you assassinate your targets or is it just going to be a wide open sandbox outside of missions and a corridor shooter (stabber?) inside missions again?

I seem to be one of the few people who actually likes the AC formula. Although I may be biased since I've bought all of them for under £10 individually so entered with lower expectations and/or didn't encounter buyer's remorse*.

So long as they don't cock it up like they did with Unity, chances are I'll buy it when given a massive discount.
*Except for AC3. Stopped playing slightly after the prologue since Connor is an abysmal character and it seemed to be tons of talking about literally ****-all except "Hey, Americans will know this guy from their history books!"

 

[Vraelomon]

Jesus, another one? How many have been released since bannerlord was announced?

(For reference, this is criticism of Asscreed, not bannerlord. Don't impale me pls  )

I managed to avoid the major fallout of Unity's rocky launch with those infamous bugs now patched. The co-op is entirely playable now in my experience. I only crashed a couple of times so far in Unity.

Hmm. I saw the reveal live stream earlier today, I am only somewhat intrigued with the information thus far. And in the live stream reveal the
Pre-Alpha in-game engine footage had the same sounds from Unity for objectives I heard. Not surprising much.  No multiplayer apparently, instead a focus on the single player narrative. I suppose it needs a break this year. The concept of twins for main characters is definitely a change of pace from the usual protagonist. The revealed info gives me AC: Rogue vibes with the underworld gangs theme. I am cautiously optimistic for this game right now. After Unity's launch this may or may not be a redeeming title.

Grand theft carriage is now a thing -> Gameplay Walkthrough

 

[Nahkuri]

Nice setting. Too bad it's an Assassin's Creed game.

 

[Sir Prince]

Such a waste of artistic talent.

 

[Scuba Steve]

Nice setting, has some cool potential, but they'll ruin it most likely. And why the hood for stealth? Should have just kept that top hat only.

 

[QuailLover]

Yeah, so a friend of mine told me a new Syndicate game was coming out... Ended up being this.

 

[Sir Prince]

Devour his soul.

 

[rebelknight]

Yeah, so a friend of mine told me a new Syndicate game was coming out... Ended up being this.

That's a dickish move from that ''Friend''

 

[QuailLover]

Oh it was. More like work acquaintance than friend.

 

[Captured Joe]

Grand theft carriage is now a thing

*letter arrives by messenger boy*: "Jacob, it's your cousin! Let's go bowling."

The gameplay seems to've gotten even more retarded.

 

[Swissky]

Gangs of New York London, anybody?
