Assassin's Creed Rogue | What It Did RIGHT 

The time when I was looking for the last assassin on an interception mission and was able to locate him because of the sound of them doing a leap of faith is something I won’t forget

Shay as protagonist alone makes this game awesome. He looks, sounds and is by itself badass. When both Rogue and Unity were revealed and saw Rogue trailer, I knew I will go for it first.

Imagine Shay, pulls a 90 degrees and just say, "Screw All of it" And systematically destroys both sides.

Even though it may not be the best AC game ever made, it helped make me feel better when I was at my lowest, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

The Kenway Saga worked wonders for helping me understand the Templars, even empathising with their order and goals. We need more direct sequels in the historical periods of these games rather than simply jumping massively in time and place with each game I don’t know why we never got the Connor and Arno vs Shay game in the Napoleonic War, everything was literally right there for Ubisoft to have this amazing crossover and they’ve totally missed it

Finallly .. i too feel rogue is so underrated. I may have a bias due to Shay being my favourite. Still.. my only problem was it being too short compared to the potential it had.

I loved Rogue so much. Gotta be one of my all time favorites Only wish Shay could have had the outfit from the trailer, like the Templar outfit but with the hood

I remeber back in the day, when I didn't have a next gen console. I remember getting rogue instead of unity, and man. I was blown away. If i am to rank the games, it won't be at the top, but man, it has a special place in my heart. More than any game in the series

Still my favourite AC game to this day! I just really love the setting of the Northern Atlantic, exploring it feels magical, even now. Despite using a lot of the systems from AC4, I think it does enough things different to make it feel unique and fun. Naval feels especially fun in Rogue with the new gameplay additions, moreso than AC4 I'd say!

Im so gald i found your channel, i have now found a new love for the OG games so i think a massive thank you is in order so thank you

I love rogue more than the unity . I don't know why I love Shay I love him so much

I remember first knowing this game, just looking at the cover art I feel like the protagonist is gonna be badass, shame that we didn't get the hooded version templar outfit cos that looks so awesome on Shay. In terms of world I wouldn't say it is worse than ACBF, sure Black Flag has that tropical vibrant color scheme to suit the Carribean, but I also like the cold feeling that Rogue brings, similar to its main theme. The weather system is also quite good, the River Valley part of the map is in my opinion, a well-made portion of the world, since before in ACBF there was only sea and cities, but in River Valley they combined well, and sailing the Morrigan in that area always gives a nice feeling

I loved the Assassin enemy types. No other game's villains really live up to that. And the Assassin Interception missions were great.

The only thing that makes me sad about rogue is how Shay was forgotten in AC3. I know he was created afterwards, but hes such an important factor as to why Achilles was hidden alone in his home, it feels empty that he wasnt mentioned :( theres a big gap of silence there

I'm currently playing AC rogue It takes a lot of things from AC black flag and improves them in my opinion Like the bounty hunters being able to board your ships The assassins interceptions are fun The camps are great fun The stalkers are fun to hunt The weapons are good fun to use like the rifle is amazing to use Also haytham keyway And the sailing is great fun just like in black flag and the artic locations are awesome with the environment being able to be used in combat The pow ships are great fun and fun to rescue

I really love Rouge the story is great the fact that you can play as a Templar is cool. Also the soundtrack is awsome

I just finished playing Rogue today and I could say with certainty that this has tons of potential. Like Templars and Assassins both have their own stereotypes. The Chaos Causing Assassins and the Power Hungry Templars is what majority of them see each other but there are others who might differ from that stereotype. And rogue showed that.

If only we could have been given a game about a Templar and an Assassin deserting their orders and teaming up with each other. I feel like that kind of story would have had the potential to be one of the most dynamic and interesting stories for the series if it was handled correctly. It's certainly the sort of game that I would have given a shot.

Still one of my favourite AC Games. 👌🔥

This is my favourite videogame. I am not joking. I literly played it over again like 5 times. I love the plot, and how the whole conception changes.

I love knowing I'm not the only one that loved AC Rogue. The whole plot of teaming up with Haytham Kenway made the story so much more provocative. He was my favorite from AC 3.

I like how in rogue, it feels like what you can do to your enemies, they can do to you too. There are stalkers that will take out a huge chunk of your health if you're not careful. Enemy ships can now board you, though in my playthroughs, it rarely happens. Assasination interceptions are fun and wish they could bring it back in future titles in some way. I personally like Shay's design & arsenal. I'm always a sucker for sword & dagger combo, but I wish we can actually use the rifle as a firearm & not just as a tool. The only problem I have with Rogue is its story, but I'll leave that in Rogue's what it did wrong video.

This game had a cool easter egg with the headless horseman in sleepy hollow, this game was slept on

Honestly one of my more favourite games due to the change of perspective, Makes you see that templars vs assassins there's not really a "good" side, Just depends on which side you are seeing through their eyes.. Just started watching the video and noticed you said the same

I started playing AC Rogue today lol

I'm actually looking forward for another Templar game but with completely different mechanics that shows how they operate in the world with a story centered around the Order's views on society. That in my opinion would be a nice change of pace from what we usually get from AC.

One of my favorite games , short and sweet with a new fresh idea at that time playing as a templar . The earthquake sequence is sill engraved in my mind

Rogue is the quit kid who is always angry but has a good heart. Also, he is the brother of Black Flags, lol.

Ac rogue is my favorite assassin's creed game and I am glad this video exists.

He is the most complex Assassin. This was the first AC game I played and I saw my brother looking at AC Unity and back at Rogue. I told him to get Rogue because my friend played both and hated Unity.

Rogue was my first Assassin's Creed. I got it at the end of 2014, played it and loved it, loved the gameplay, got curious about the history, and this lead me to becoming in love with this franchise. Today, I do understand the lots of problems this game has, the story of it isn't that good as I used to see before, the "change side" was rushed and kinda out of nowhere. I do understand those problems, but I still like Shay, I like some character dinamics, and I hold it deep with me because its because of this small, forgotten game, that I got into what is now my favorite franchise

Rogue was my entry into Assassins Creed and I was glued to it from beginning to end, great memories 🙌🏾

Finally someone who gave rogue a chance, honestly I love it and guess what i intend buying it on 2022

i can never understand why rouge doesn't get more praise, it's an amazing game, and was the last game to have that combat system that was just all too perfict (3, black flag, and rouge). Shey is also a very good protagonist, it's not even that hard to imagine someone like ezio or connor agreeing with him, he might have even gone back to the assassins if he had met connor... or he'd of died because connor is a unit.

I’m playing the remaster for the first time in like 7 years and I’m honestly having so much fun, especially with how much I thought people clowned on it, it’s such a fun and familiar experience

The number one reason I was more hyped for this than Unity was more Haytham. Seeing him next to you on the ship in the first trailer was all I needed.

Good video. I’ll see with Rogue too. The idea of focusing on the Templars was a great idea and to shift from one group to another was interesting.

Those assassin interception missions used to scare the crap outta me hearing those whispers, knowing I was being hunted

When i launched the game for the first time and heard the main theme... i knew it's gonna be an awesome adventure.

I do like the ship combat in Rogue more than that in Black Flag (using the Morgan is a more fun than using the Jackdaw). I also like the location but mainly because I just like “Cold” more than “Hot”. The first two maybe just personal choices, but I also think there are a few gameplay improvements too. Like when ya use the whistle there is actually a ring around the character to help ya indicate who is able to actually hear ya (unlike in Black Flag where ya had to guess to whether or not they were too far). I also really like the grenade launcher and dart gun over just the blow tube. Lastly, the whole renovation system did help me make shit tons of credits during the play throughs. I just wish there was a new game plus feature that allows the player to do the game again but with the same weapons and Morgan upgrades. Also, it’s a bit of a side thing but I like how Shay is helping with the 7 Years War (like he’s actually a commander in the battlefront of the War and it is just really cool). I just wish that more people who played the game would try to lay off killing so many British soldiers after they become Templars (like, they are suppose to be your ally’s), but that isn’t too important in the long run though.

I especially like the little detail that is his haircut being called the rogue hairstyle irl

This was my first main Assassin's Creed, imagine my absolute confusion about the present day and Lisboa. Also the way in how it doesn't spoil anything from the previous games but it teases you that for you it's a mistery unless you have played the rest of the games. This game is a great starter for any AC fan tbh.

Dude I just Started playing AC rogue today I love it and optimization is great for low end PC And you made a video on it Damn!!!!!!!!

AC rogue was the first ac game I played and I loved it, I don't really care if its a solid copy of black flag. Playing as templars was also a lot of fun

Only AC game where you play as Templar. AC3: Am i a joke to you

It did a lot of things right in my opinion

Rougue feels like a AC3 + Black Flag in terms of gameplay, mainly due to the fact that it took place near new york, where it all started

I think Rouge was actually not too bad. It really did have a great story and beautifully connects the other games to each other. The most painful part in Rouge for me was having to kill Adewale because he had a good heart with what he went through but served under a corrupt brotherhood with Achillies.

I loved Rogue I played it for hours when I first got it basically black flag but better in some ways but what hurt me the most in the game was the mission where you kill Adewale cause I loved him in black flag

I like underrated or overshadowed games because if you search far enough you'd find some hidden gems like AC Rogue, Overlord, etc

When I first found the theme before playing Rogue I imagined what Rogue could've been about and I wasn't wrong. I thought it will be sad and Shay will be someone left behind or smth like that. Unity is really far from this and Syndicate in gameplay.

Assassin‘s creed rogue was the first game I’ve ever played in the series and it is my favorite

Dude and its ost track is so good like probably my most favourite so far

Really enjoyed rogue alot, and it's still one of my fav AC games.

You forgot about the soundtrack. The ezio's family colonial music with a Japanese flute in background. Man it gave me chills

To be honest, Rogue was the first I ever played, then black flag, Brotherhood etc. But to this day, every time I play it, it gives me nostalgia and I love it!

I got Rogue the year it released for Christmas and I had no idea it existed till that day. Love the game and none of my friends had heard of it either

I appreciate that they tried to bring back most of the old stuff from the exit trilogy I wish the kept brothels tho, it definitely fits Shay’s character

I am a major assassin‘s creed fan. I always choose the assassin’s over the Templars any day, but I didn’t really like rogue that much because I didn’t want to see the perspective of a Templar that was the former assassin but after seeing it, I started liking it, because intern, it really shows your different perspectives on either the assassins or Templars yet neither side is good or bad, but I know like rogue an amazing game incisors much I haven’t seen yet

tbh, i have been playing rogue recently, and i don't understand why people hate it so much, the game is fun and has a very interesting story, playing as an ex assassin that turned templar showing there are no true good guys was an awesome concept and it was well executed

2:50 the way you describe him actually reminds me of Revan from Star Wars lmao, looking forward to playing the game now a bit more ngl

I remember not having next gen at the time so I found out this game came out and grabbed it. One of my most favorite games to this day.

The osts are the greatest in videogame history imo

I started playing it yesterday as my first assassin's creed game and I played it for 10 hours straight from how much I enjoyed it. I love how many ways you can kill people and it makes most fights feel different. After I finish it, I am going to try black flag because apparently it is similar

I personally thought Rogue messed up in the fipped perspective thing. The Assassins act like Templars and the Templars act like Assassins so not really a flipped perspective. Not to mention Shay doesn't really reflect on the core ideas of the each side such as free will.

I recently played rogue and loved it. Shay is now one of my favourite ac character.

I loved Rogue, it challenged everything we knew. For the past 6 games we saw Templars as evil without question left us wondering who was good or evil.

I don’t know what other people think but I enjoyed Rouge a lot. It’s one of the first AC games I’ve played and I recognize the flaws in the game and the plot but I still really like it. It’s got very solid gameplay for a 2014 game and Shay’s a fairly good protagonist.

Assassin's Creed Rogue is definitely a game from this franchise I consider high on my list. Not only did it take the moral ambiguity of the Templars from Assassin's Creed 3 and further built upon it, but it also shed a light on the Assassins and revealed that they're not always the good guys like what we're led to believe. Sure, the overall goal of the Assassins may be more desirable, but that doesn't make all of the actions they take to reach that goal good, and this is superbly illustrated by the Colonial Brotherhood like Achilles, Chevalier, Hope, etc. Stuff like that makes the world of AC feel more believable, and I love that.

I love how we have to kill adawlae because we all love him but seeing him fight for a side that don’t if is good or bad is amazing

It makes sense why Achilles said no at first when Connor came to him, he either was tired of the life after Shay or maybe he was afraid that Connor would end up like Shay

Ac rogue is my favorite ac game. I don't understand why more people didn't give it a chance. Everything about it was perfect. Also thank god that they didn't put that many collectibles as they did in black flag.

The soundtrack of this game though 😭😭

Rogue was one of my first ac games and i love it

I've only played all the way through Black Flag, and I'm halfway through Rogue. Honestly, I find Rogue to be way more engaging in its story and gameplay. It can definitely be labeled as Black Flag 1.5, but it polishes what came before and its addition of Assassin enemies has been really welcome with their new challenges. Then again, maybe I'm just easily impressed by games that let me play as the "Evil Organization"

Just discovered this channel and I already love it 👍

Many fans out there cryticise Shay's motif for betraying Assassins, but i think they done a good job portraying so. The whole reason was just a misunderstanding between Shay and Achilles. If Achilles explained to Shay what happened and how powerful the artifacts were, if he wasnt depressed after his sonvs death things would turn out different

Rogue is one of my favorite AC games in terms of story and I think that Shay best encapsulates the Catholic principle of elevating the sanctity of life above the quality of life that the Assassins and many Templars (after all you can't have a debate on what kind of life is best, if you're all dead). With that said, I don't know if I would say that Shay's beliefs aligned with the Templars, so much as the Templars in this instance, aligned more with Shay.

I loved AC Rogue from launch and found the plot, character and story very intriguing! Rogue kind of show you some of what Haytham tried to tell Connor about the difference between the Templars and the Assassins. I really like that this game shows that both sides are wrong and right. Both sides are trying to achieve in many ways the same goal, only that their approach, or way towards the goal, is very different.

With knowledge of assassin stealth, Shay would also know how to counter it. It makes sense for him to easily be able to scout out assassins hiding in the bushes. Edit: Like Hope's last words to Shay, Rogue had so much potential.

Rogue was the best all rounder AC game in my opinion. I’ve played all of them except 1 to 3 and Valhalla

AC "I make my own luck" is an underrated gem

Having to stay alerted for assassins made it interesting for me.

I love rogue it’s my top three, the setting worked better for parkour than ac4, the stalker system was amazing raiding gang hideouts was so strategic and fun and seeing Shay change as a character and be able to see the Templars perspective in a better way than what ac3 presented us with made me love the game so much to the point where I can just hop on ac rogue one day and free roam the map and have fun

Man I am playing AC games for the first time, barely making my way to start AC3 and your content really makes me look forward each and everyone of them.. Until origins of course xD

Well here’s what I see in the story. The assassins support the free will of humanity but the Templars want to rob humanity of their free will. Haytham explains the orders goals very well in the third game. The Templars want full Control of everything. Just look at what they try to do in the fourth game. They wanted to use the observatory to spy on everybody. So the assassins are clearly the good guys because they don’t like the idea of one corrupt power ruling everything. Now I will admit that the assassins in rogue did not act very good. I mean just look at who their friends were in this game. Achilles allied himself with criminals in New York(Who terrorized civilians). Achilles didn’t even want to listen to Shay about those first civilization orbs(that destroyed cities). Instead of telling Shay to calm down and explain what happened he just kicked him out. Achilles was filled with pride and frustration because sadly his family passed away. However shay was still foolish to support the Templars because the Templars never changed their goals. For crying out loud they wanted to murder George Washington and that would’ve led to the end of the American 🇺🇸 revolution(thankfully Connor stopped them).

Bro does not miss with his AC opinions

I would like to see what do you think about an AC game with karma system similiar to Dishonored with Arno as the protagonist and depending on your karma Connor/Shay will be your final target.

I felt the same way, killing the assassins didn't feel comfortable to me. But it felt good after while 😢

Great game and great video! When Unity and Rogue came out I didn’t have a current console yet so I definitely had time to give Rogue the proper attention. Although 4 does have a better looking world, I have always liked the time period/location in Rogue. Be cool if there was some kind of follow up or conclusion to Shay’s story.

I honestly beat Assassin's Creed Rogue and it was my first AC to be at 100%. Story is my opinion is amazing bc it showing how hard it was to Shay kill his old friends like Hope. Soundtrack in Rogue is just Masterpeace and I love the soundtrack and you? Do you like the soundtrack too? Rogue should be one of best Assassin's Creed or "Templar" Creed :D.

after the ezio saga, rouge is by far my personal favourite AC, black flag is good, but shay is just a completely different beast

Rogue is a great game, totally underrated! And the ship battling was even better than Black Flag!

The kenway trilogy is the absolute best in terms of worlds and gameplay the franchise ever accomplished and is definitely the peak of the series in my opinion. If ezio story trilogy was remade in this style it would be a dream come true.

Rogue is as or even more underrated than ac3 I'd say it's honestly one of the best assassins creeds I've ever played but I felt like noone talked about it kinda like ac chronicles (which I haven't played) like how dare they not mention this game its so good

The fact a templar has a hidden blade and yet odesseys like nah this may be an assassins creed game but like imma just take out the how assassins and creed bs that no one enjoyed

I remember just not having many problems with unity. I loved it from the start, even with some annoying bugs. So for that reason i only started playing rogue a couple months later. I loved rogue just as much. 2014 might have been the best year ac has had.

Thanks man I really wanted your take on rogue, this was such an under-rated ac game

Rogue is the only old time AC I haven't played. Kinda skipped it and went from 4 to Unity. But this video is making me consider it

So TRUE!!! Shouldve given Rogue its own year and work on a perfect Unity. It could have prevented origins and the following garbo
