You get a secret train base and get to meet the most libbed up version of Karl Marx. Kinda mid, but having two playable characters with one being more stealthy and the other being a bruiser was cool
I mean it’s never been good, but Unity gives the most direct and logical control over vertical traversal, ejects, stuff like that. Compared to the bizarre timing based stuff and secret button prompts in AC1 it’s a solid climbing system. Combat is vicious and should be avoided, the scale and detail of the city is staggering, crowd stealth mechanics actually work, crouching makes stealth actually viable. I stealthed tons of missions in it, the story is whatever but has always been.
I am a hater and AC was never good, it was always a dogshit non-replacement for Prince of Persia and AC1 is an intolerable game. The climbing works okay once you understand it (which the game never really teaches you, just tells you to hold RT) and the combat is entirely braindead. Mission structure sucks and is extremely repetitive even on PC, the whole game is trash and AC2 weirdly made it even worse. Unity’s assassination missions are rad though, it’s finally the historical Hitman Blood Money we were always promised, killing your mark without being noticed and slipping out feels SO FUCKIN GOOD
It is also a great concept totally wasted on bullshit games. How did they manage to make it so non cool??
unity played good but i was still mad about them just abandoning the modern day story and then at the end of unity you find out the thing you were looking for with your shitty hacker collective wasn’t even there in the past so the whole game was pointless.
tell me sincerely that you weren’t interested in the implied modern day doing some assassin shit and then plot-twist getting out of another animus and desmond was somebody’s ancestor
I can, because the future plot is the most boring waste of good ideas ever, lol. AC1’s dumb cliffhanger is particularlu offensive. I’ve only finished AC1 and 4, but I’ve played large chunks of AC2, 3 and it’s like maaaaan who cares, what a bland bunch.
Confusingly it’s Unity, the closest the series ever came to delivering on its initial concept, which every other game just ignores.
Literally everyone forgets Syndicate, follow up to unity. I thought it was fantastic.
I remember the part where they make their sockpuppet Marx say that peaceful protest is the only way
I didn’t bother cause it looked like they gutted all the fun stuff

Looks like they’re recycling that for Shadow.
I’m totally hyped to buy that game in like 5 years for $10 and play it for like 15 hours
And on Steam lol
nah i’ll pirate it so i don’t have to use ubisoft’s shitty launcher
Support developers so they can make more games. 🤷🏼♂️

The modern day story was unequivocally the worst part of previous games, so good fuck em =)
Tell me sincerely that you were invested in Desmond Whitebread and his fishface gf.
