Fuck man, all of Ezio's trilogy was GOAT.
Then Ubisoft went into shit.

Revelations wasn't as good as 2 and Brotherhood.

Noone fucking cares

ass creed should've ended there.
there was zero point in pushing a game so limited in gameplay.

But it was still better than any AC that came after that

because it's a nice way to establish ezio's character, that's why

literally all of the Assassin's Creed games beside this and Brotherhood were bad

before anyone says "what about Black Flag," you only liked it because of pirates, not assassins.

Did anyone else actually tear up when pic related happened?

Top 3 in no order

>2
>Black flag
>Syndicate

How DO we fix assassin's creed bros?

I thought Syndicate was alright, but very forgettable

no, I never actually cared about the story in AC because how blatantly shallow it was written.

every time, it's feels, feels and more feels, all the while the story takes a big step back, seemingly building up to something, only to slap you in the face at the end.

It had the best trailer tho.
youtube.com/watch?v=753327AMNIM

2
Brotherhood
Black Flag

I wanted to say 1 because I fucking love the setting and the present day stuff in 1 is pretty neat compared to later installments but the gameplay has aged like ass

Fun fact: Ezio's brother was voiced by Adam Jensen. Go back and listen to it, you'll hear a bit of his characteristic rasp.

Go back to the original plan before AC3 fucked it up.
Revive Desmond somehow, and give him a PoE that lets him go back in time, attacking templars in key moments and changing history.

I hope they think long and hard about it and go back to the roots with the next title. The best part about these games was how you really "live" as this guy, go through their life and relationships.

And then it turned into
>YO INITIATE, REMEMBER, YOU'RE ONLY PLAYING A GODDAMN VIDEO GAME HERE, NOW GO TO THE CASH SHOP AND BUY YOURSELF THE ABILITY TO WALK LEL

>Making best girl marry and have a kid with a poo in loo

FUCKING DROPPED

Absolutely ruined her for me.

Black Flag and Unity are better.

That was so weird, they had like no chemistry at all throughout the whole game then all of a sudden they were in love with each other

revelations utter shit

brohood was scraping the bottom of the barrel, but at least Rome was a pleasant location wander around in

only 2 was good

It helps that Ezio is really likeable character, but I think it's the image of just screwing around with your bro + that REALLY good music that sells it.

(Not to mention the whole delayed title is pretty neat)

Because the exact opposite happened in the game story.

AC III was aight
AC BF was gold
AC Rogue was ok
AC France was le shoite
AC London was meh

More of Ubisofts forced pc shit

I feel like it's inherently fucked

the settings feel like wallpaper with all the same objectives and activities thrown around in

maybe the movie will give them some ideas how to handle future installments, because I'm tired of floating modern icons littered in past era locales, wallhack effects, missions spelling out their every move, leaving the player nothing to discover on their own

it's a clusterfuck of a series that never reached its potential, and its creators only took bad decisions with it

never played ASS Creed. Should I start with 1 or just skip to 2 or what?

1 feels more like a prototype to the final game that AC2 was since most of the game are 9 assassinations that you prepare for doing a bunch of repetitive tasks.
You should watch the ''movie'' version of AC1 or something and go for AC2.
You won't understand a thing if you go directly into 2.

People find one boring but I liked it. You could start with two if you like, iirc it
explains the story of one to you.

AC 2 >Brotherhood > Black Flag > AC 1 > Rogue > Revelations > dogshit > Syndicate > Unity > AC 3

the tasks were repetitive, but the assassinations were pretty much the highpoint of activities in the entire series

ACII had a more conventional (and boring) GTA formula where you were everyone's chore bitch and the assassinations were reduced to linear setpieces, rather than small arenas where it allowed for more freedom when and where to strike

Shame about Unity being a disaster because the setting was cool, the game looked amazing visually, the crowded streets were neat and I loved how you could give Arno pretty much any weapon.


Syndicate was pretty much a step down in almost every way but at least it was functional.
They still locked basic assassin moves behind a fucking retarded progression system like Unity did

>can customize every single part of your outfit in ACU
>can only choose your belt in ACS

india is going to be next.

Black Flag and Unity were great.

Not happening senpai

lol no

Unity is perfectly functional too, just don't play games on launch day you dumbasses.

1. Unity
2. Black Flag
3. AC2
4. Brotherhood
5. Rogue
6. Revelation
7. AC1
8. Syndicate
9. Liberation
10. AC3

Is Unity really this good?

Are the chronicle games worth playing?

>Syndicate was pretty much a step down in almost every way

Did you mean a step up? Because I couldn't play Unity at all anymore after Syndicate. They fixed the combat, fixed the parkour, fixed the physics, polished all the mechanics and made it work. It's what Unity should've been from the beginning. Sure, the game has its problems, but Unity had the same and worse.

Wrong. The alien shit was single handedly the worst 'twist' or whatever you want to call it, in the existence of a AAA game. Desmond should of never existed and the games story should of only been of that of the Assassin's vs Templar, not some bullshit divine alien technology.

And you never should of come here

It's definitely underrated because of all the bugs it had at launch.

- Visuals and environment/map are 10/10 I'd say.
- Main story is pretty shit.
- Side quests are quite nice.
- Gameplay is harder than in any of the other games, and controls are slightly different. Some people like it because it forces you to think things through more and actually be stealthy and plan assassinations (more in the spirit of AC1), while others are thrown off by it and just find it frustrating.

They didn't "fix" the combat in Syndicate. They're different because they're supposed to represent different styles of fighting. The main characters of Syndicate were supposed to be brawlers and Arno is more of a fencer.
Also Unity's combat was way better

The parkour didn't change a lot in Syndicate
It's the same shitty gimped system they used in Unity
The series haven't had good parkour since Revelations

Patched up, it doesn't deserve the hate it gets but I wouldn't put it above 2 and Brotherhood.

They didn't fix any of those things, just dumbed them down to make them easier for bad players.

does this game still have horrible framerate problems?

Don't know, I play on PC so I just tune graphics to get good FPS, game still looks good on my laptop.

So you're blind and dumb. Case closed.

I dare you to try and give rational arguments to back up your memespeak, if you can

I appreciate Syndicate, it was the most lighthearted game in the series

The idea in Unity was to make the game more challenging again and force you to use stealth like in AC1. As much as I like AC2 and the following titles, the fact is Ezio could pretty much just walk into a fort and cut his way through an army all by himself, making all stealth aspects of the game useless. Unity made combat harder again so you'd legitimately have to avoid getting surrounded by more than a couple of enemies. As for the parkour being harder, that's because the world is a lot more full and detailed, with more often than not buildings having full interiors and open windows, which makes the map more detailed than anything I've ever seen.

However this made the game too hard for most players, so they "fixed" it in Syndicate by just getting rid of it all. No more difficult combat, the combat is now ultra-fast and arcadey and you have literal superpowers. No more building interiors either, not even for London's monuments, and most of the parkour is replaced with ziplines and carriage rides anyway.

See

no you

Syndicate is just casual as fuck, combat and movement are both straight from Batman Arkham games.

Personally I think they need to bring back Desmond. Either by reviving him through some piece of eden bullshit, or just rebooting the series.

Even killing him off wouldn't have been so bad if they fucking replaced him with something. They just cut out modern day shit, with black flag having blank person as the modern character, and all games past it having literally no modern day parts. The present day "story" has gone to complete shit.
>Played unity
>Entire plot of the game is "we need you to find where this persons remains are so we can get to them before the templars!"
>End up finding them in the catacomb of bones
>"Lol well guess they'll never find them. Thanks anyway!"

They should have never killed Desmond off. At the very least, they could have had him die, but then revive as subject 16, seeing as it looked like he could have merged with him at the end of revelations

>Tfw

AssCreed skipped all interesting history periods, fumbled the fuck out of the red string tying the games together, barely revamped anything relevant of the core gameplay since 2 and have been released in a barely functional state.
It is unsalvageable and should just be put down

>tfw you don't hate AC3 and really liked Connor
The American trilogy is my favorite part of the series. Too bad Rogue was so short.

Why is the fat guy there ?

It just like lotr trilody. Last one wasn't as good as first two.

II is objectively the best one. anyone who says otherwise is retarded

>implying the first mission won't be to poo in the loo

Because he ded, duh

Will it ever gonna be topped?

>Unity made combat harder again so you'd legitimately have to avoid getting surrounded by more than a couple of enemies

The enemies are leveled the exact same way in both Unity and Syndicate. Both game start out bit difficult in the beginning, but after some twenty hours, you've upgraded your health and gear to the point where you're an unstoppable terminator again.

Otherwise, the base mechanics are the same as they've been since III. People have been making Batman comparisons since AC2, Syndicate didn't invent that. The only major difference is that Syndicate actually fixed the wonky mechanics, so that you won't get killed by weird glitches or unresponsive controls anymore. That's not "making it casual", unless you somehow think playing broken games makes you seem hardcore. (No, it makes you sound like an idiot).

>As for the parkour being harder,

lolwhat? The parkour system couldn't be any easier, and is completely identical in Unity and Syndicate. Except that Syndicate fixed the weirdly floaty animations that plagued its predecessor, making the characters move like tangible human beings again instead of having them levitate through walls and obstacles, and bounce off of corners like rubber.

I don't get your talk about no interiors either, you have entire submissions sneaking into factories and other facilities that are more elaborate than anything in Unity. The ziplines and carriages make navigating easier, yes, but on the other hand, the scale of London is like triple the size of Paris, so in the end, you're not making progress any faster than before.

I'm honestly baffled. I've never seen anyone even attempt to defend Unity on this board before.

He went away on a ship and he was fine

This is the closest they will ever come

This statement makes me sad. How far have we fallen where "don't expect things to work when you buy them until after weeks and 10gb+ of patches" is an acceptable statement.

I think Microsoft was onto something where they charged $10,000 per patch during the 360 era.

>he doesn't know

Does it annoy anyone else that the Ezio family theme is now just the overall AC theme?

Remember the tune they used for Rev and 3?
No?

Well.

Ass Creed 1 was brutty good bro

here is your (you)

No

The game was horseshit especially the storytelling

It annoys me we'll never hear the chase theme from AC1 used again.

>if I kill you I'm not better than you

I wish they would double up on the sci-fi in the OST.

Is it even in the new AC games? all the soundtracks from 3 onwards have been completely forgettable to me sounding nothing like Jesper Kyd's original work

Didn't Ezio stay his hand simply because he wasn't interested in revenge anymore at that point?

No OP just because it has nice sounding music it doesn't mean that it's good.

The only retort to this is Unity. Completely changed up gameplay and was set in an interesting setting for once.

Yeah it's in the gaes in some form or other.

>murders people by the thousands, mostly guards who were just doing their job
>better not kill the evil mastermind cartoon villain for moral reasons

Every time.

Too bad they fucked up the main story so hard.

It's weird because you can tell from the city design and from all the side quest that they had legitimate historians advising and really put effort into that, but then the main story looks like it was written by some random Hollywood hack who didn't know shit about the French Revolution.

In Syndicate? Yeah, actually. Pretty nice rendition as well.

>and was set in an interesting setting for once.
Too bad it's mostly background noise for Arno's story of revenge and complicated romance.

Arno a shit

It was in Rogue and Syndicate

AC III had a god tier tune, Black Flag too.

He's just French Ezio. Admit it, you just get buttflustered by froggies.

Main story was shit, I agree, but the side quests really allowed the city to flourish. At first I was really pissed off they barely used half the map in the main quests but once I started doing side missions I realised that some of them were just as fleshed out as any main story mission and had their own little plot lines to follow.

>those murder mysteries
>those autistic history riddles

Coziest part of the game.

>bought AC3 for the full $60 on release
>bought a copy for a friend as a gift too
>spent $120 on AC3 total
AC3 was a Spore-tier disappointment to me. A part of me died after playing that, and it hurts to this day having spent so much cash on it.

i hope you learned your lesson to never buy games at launch!

>A comfy AC thread on Sup Forums
>In 2016

You're doing me proud here, lads

AC is bad and you should feel bad for liking it.
