The One Thing Assassin's Creed Syndicate Did Right 

What's your favourite part about AC Syndicate?

another thing I really liked in Syndicate was its social blending When Evie and Jacob is strolling through the streets you cannot visible see any weapons or flashy armors (unless you wear the unlocked outfits) making them seem less suspicious while you can literally identify any other assassins from the series from a vast distance

Technically speaking, they are experts in blackbox missions. So that means AC Red has an actual chance at being an amazing game!

YES! One of my biggest gripes of the "Old Gods" trilogy or whatever we're calling it is that I realized halfway through each that I should stop visiting the forts in my free time because the game was just going to make me go into them for story reasons anyway, and nothing would really be different about them during those missions. It felt like I was being discouraged from exploring the map.

This AC Ezio's Family with ELECTRIC GUITAR soundtrack , is amazing !!!

While this isn't my favorite AC game (exactly in the middle), I do appreciate the freedom that it allowed in these missions, the London map, and the ability to just be an inconvenient menace with Hijacking Carriages or Disconnecting Train Cars.

I love the term you use for how Syndicate treats the player with its mission design. I think respect is totally the right word to use there

idk, syndicate really is just a good game imho, if you ignore the story youre left with crazy immersion, nice soundtracks, great stealth, great level design, fun activities like gang strongholds and bounty hunts, and this really badass vibe of being this stealthy gang leader who can rely on his gang members i REALLY love the gang aspect of this game, i just love seeing my gang grow up and just chill around in every corner of london, upgrading them and causing chaos on the streets while i focus on my mission, i think that its an underrated feature of the game

Bro the thumbnail is a chef's kiss. I need it

Best part of Assassin's Creed games is when they are played as if they are a Hitman games, if you think about it. Just that one has more of the social stealth through the disguises, and another has more of a dimention-based stealth. In the end both give you a scenario that lives on it's own, where you are allowed to intervene at certain point to Drive that scenario to give you an advantage, and, ultimately, driving your target to a certain death by your hands.

Great video as always. Keep it up I was waiting for someone to speak about the great part of AC Syndicate, which is basically the fluent gameplay through a nice mission design.

for me, ac syndicate will always be the best ac game, period. also, it has the best final boss assassination in whole franchise, when they pin him between each other and just start slashing and stabbing, absolute badassery

Syndicate was my first (and currently only) assassins creed game. Despite my gripes, was pretty solid

I personally really enjoyed the gameplay, and the level design like you mentioned, in syndicate. I felt real power with the gadgets and the Rooks, and each time I ran around the world causing chaos was surprisingly engaging, in a way that felt more thrilling than tedious like in the newer games. And I just have to say that I got so excited when I realized that Mirage was going to give me options again from the first target. Mirage really has the best gameplay since syndicate and I think their similar styles really say something

Wow bro Another perfect video Keep doing what you do bro

Amazing video as always :)

3:15 That’s a perfect point and a sad one since we really haven’t seen it in the games after helix games. The presentation in these two games are so good that it hide some of trash aspects. I always thought that unity is a bad story told in the best way possible. From the intro until the moment that arno slowly kills germain, the story might be trash but it’s presented so good that up until elise’s stupid decision you don’t really notice it. And syndicate does this with stealth, I think the detection can be sometimes frustrating specially when you wabt to rush in and kill enemies head on. But the way this system is presented through missions is so good that you won’t be bothered by it that much

my therapy is eating while listening to u speak on ac. i can agree with this whole vid as syndicates the only ac i play now since this year began and i think its cause of its missions. damn theyre so good

Amazing video. Gotta love the Ezio themes running in the background too. But could you perhaps slide the link of the rock cover of ''Ezio's Family''? I couldn't help but notice how much of a banger that track is.

Awesome video!!! I love Assassin's Creed Syndicate, I've played it since December 25th 2015. One of my favorite games. 😎😎😎💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️✨✨✨

Honestly I could get over the grappling hook killing parkour, if it was like a dark gritty Batman esque like game with a single protagonist wearing the victory robes. Honestly might have been pretty good and if that happens we could be on a similar path to the peak which was Unity. Such a shame how this series has diminished

Usually i play ac for the story and the mission design comes second but theres a reason I've been having fun with syndicate recently. Mission design and Evie's side of the story saves the game for me

I’ve personally always been a huge fan of Victorian period England and so the chance to walk around the streets and meet queen Victoria was great… I think as a stand-alone game, it was good but it didn’t feel like an assassins creed game. I also loved getting to play as and catch Jack the Ripper!

New video lets goo!!

Welp time to comment Syndicate again... I should talk about other games too lol. Syndicate is a weird title to me in someways because when I think of the overall series in someways. As just a "game". Syndicate might be the best game in the series simply because of its mission design and pacing of its gameplay. I'm not counting story or how good its gameplay is compare to older games(mostly to me AC1 to Reveletions) but as a game I would recommend to people as an AC game... I kinda would be tempted to say play Syndicate first if you don't want to play AC1 first even if tone wise I do agree Syndicate is an odd one compare to the rest of the franchise. But on that note I actually wanna talk about something. In my recent playthrough and some videos I wanted to watch about the story of this game and hear opinions I come to realize something. This games problem(mostly) is not the tone. It's how obvious that someone didn't let the team show this games true potential. How Evie's story was cut and turned into a small part of Jacob's because of Ubisofts disgusting look at woman and so many other things game hint in the story for both main characters but never willing to fully tackle genuinely made me realize how much Jacob and Evie could've had(and even someways Jacob just had. Yes Jacob actually as saw him made me realize he is actually a pretty good protagnist with an interesting idea... that would've worked if her sister also implemented on that interesting idea well) Even without the AC:Victory thing this game had before I do think this games real potential as AC Syndicate has been not used well because of certain... higher up stupidity... And it makes me sad because as I look more deep into the Frye Twins I can even say that I see potential in them to rival a lot of mcs of AC. But those characteristics mostly always put on the background with small moments or Evie's latters or just ideas that are told. The most this potential is shown is Sequance 8 with Jacob and its... well its amazing seeing a side of this for Jacob is awesome and its clear that there is more to him. But neither him or Evie gets their full potential as a duo or separate and well... Its such a shame.

So I've finished Syndicate twice on October because my save data got corrupted on the process of uploading it to cloud and I have to say I am GLAD I played it twice back-to-back because I get to see all the different unique kill animations. my most favorite mission is assassinating the banker Phillip Twopenny. on my first run, I didn't use the unique kill animation because I figured it will be too much pain to try to get the opportunities since the odds are literally stacked against you (2 opportunities are in the same room with millions of guards that can alert the others, while the other 1 is in the different part of the bank where you had to enter & infiltrate if you want to 100% the mission) So on my second playthrough, I take my time and making sure I was ticking all the optional objectives BEFORE I get to the opportunity (painting assassination) and boy I can say it looks satisfying and making me feel more of a badass than on my first playthrough

I think these missions were such a good part of the games and really enjoyable. I really like the idea of inserting a hitman style mission into the game away from the open world at certain points. The missions in the Tower of London parts of this game certainly felt like that. I think these missions really help create variety to the game and make missions more memorable. I think the content in the older games generally was more variable. I think the murder mysteries, the animus glitches, glyphs, Nostradamus enigmas, the tomb explorations, just kept things different and also added a different type of challenge. I like the puzzle element of some of these things from the older games. That's why I didn't mind the cairn stacking or the constellation alignment of Valhalla and Origins as it was something a bit different from the a lot of the rest of the game. But in Syndicate even the open world activities, like the gang strongholds felt a bit more like mini black box missions. I know people didn't like the tailing missions but again I felt that just added something different and felt like something that should be in a stealth or assassin creed game. Maybe they could have been executed better. I think with Odyssey particular every mission just felt the same and every location felt too similar. Completing one fort felt the same as complete every other fort, fortress and port. It probably didn't help that from the top of the map in Odyssey, to the bottom of the map (apart for Crete) every location pretty much looked the same.

great video . Unity and syndicate. 1 and 2. love them

My favorite part of syndicate by far, was the Ww2 section. I very much wished we got a game of that section.

Honestly I’ve always adored Syndicate unapologetically. I loved the setting (even without a gritty plot), got attached to the characters and their quirks, and lost myself in all the little side missions. It was the first AC game that I ever Platinum Trophied, and I could run around its world for hours without getting bored. I totally see some of the flaws, and even though I enjoyed the tone of the plot, I respect that it wasn’t for everyone. That said, thank you for talking about some of the strongest aspects of this game. I hope they bring some of these unique features forward to breathe new life into Assassin’s Creed 🙂

This video is right. I was playing syndicate and was surprised by the amount of freedom I had. Then I played black flag. Even though I liked black flag more, it was very limited compared to syndicate.

It is my favorite AC game honestly

Syndicate was my first full 3D AC game, I started with one of the side scrollers. AC Syndicate is unique out of my entire game collection because it is the only game I own which I don’t keep coming back to because I love the story. The actual story of Syndicate is okay in my opinion but it is the individual missionsI keep replaying it for along with simply exploring the city. I can go from a crowded busy street to a secluded backyard garden where the local residents are having a little party to the tune of a band in a small gazebo. AC Syndicate isn’t the best game in the world, but it’s missions were engaging and had a freedom to them I haven’t seen elsewhere, while the city itself is filled with little quiet areas that you only find by just wandering around without really intending to do anything.

To me it harkened back to the original AC. Each chapter was a target and all the sidequests were basically planning on how to kill that main target. Looking for entrances and escapes even without being able to enter the place. Weaknesses I could exploit. Bribing or otherwise convincing the local downtrodden to intercede in my cause. Then taking back all my clues to the Branch Manager to outline and have them sign off on a plan of action. From there I could do it exactly as outlined from all the clues given or improvise depending on how the situation played out. I could even forgo everything and do my own thing knowing the risk I was taking by going completely offscript. While the Ezio series remained along the same lines, AC III was the biggest flop since it railroaded you so hard into doing it EXACTLY how the developers intended. One misstep or attempt to go your own way and you instantly failed. Four and Rogue brought this back to form somewhat and I avoided Unity because of the bugs. Syndicate was the last title I played and for me, it truly was a 'back to form' only instead of prioritizing a target, I was also liberating a city. The original AC you were hyperfocused on your sole priorty of killing specific targets. Actual assassination. The Ezio series expanded on that letting you feel like you were actually participating in a War against the Templar Order. The series kind of lost the plot from there involving too much other historical stuff while Syndicate tries to reign it in a little back to the idea of Assassination and Liberation. From what I've seen after Syndicate, they went off the rails completely there.

Found you yesterday and I have just been binge watching all your content keep it up man you haven’t had a single video that’s lost my interest

I would respectfully disagree with anyone saying Syndicate was the black sheep of the AC license, simply because Unity exists. I've played Unity months/years after its release so no, it's not just about the bugs (though there too many for me to enjoy the game). Unity was the first AC game I did not finish. And I was very disappointed, because French Revolution is an AMAZING idea of setting for an AC game. I expected a lot, maybe too much, out of that game. I liked the potential of the novelty they implemented : the new parkour system, more customisation, skill points system, the blackbox missions, being able to basically go into every house. But it was poorly executed, due to the parkour not feeling as smooth as I wanted it to be, the many MANY bugs that forced me to replay over and over missions, some key NPCs not spawning or being stuck in walls, this kind of thing. Plus, imo, the story was so horrible. The way I could not care less about Arno whining all the time, about Elise being basically right but making the stupidest decision all the time, everything felt so forced. And the French Revolution was barely used as a setting ! But it could be because I have studied French History more than the average person so my disappointment was greater. AC Syndicate, to me, was the more completed and polished version of Unity. The story is still clunky, but I found Evie and Jacob's banter really endearing. It made them feel organic. The parkour was much, MUCH smoother than in Unity, I loved the combat animations that were just as good, I loved the missions so much, I loved the immersion even if it wasn't as dark as I wanted. But the True Crime and Jack the ripper DLC really solved that for me. The stealth is amazing, the music GODS the music is so good. Simple loops that are so amazingly effective. Now there were bugs, don't get me wrong (love seeing carriages being ragdolled for absolutely no fucking reason) but nothing as nearly annoying than any other AC. I hated horse races (but I don't like races in general), the loyalty grinding was so exhausting, the map is so goddamn vertical, fast travels points were sometimes in the LEAST convenient place possible, the story was... well it was there. Nothing much to chew on, but I kinda liked the bad guy until the ending where he became a bit... lame. I don't think the game was excellent by any means, but it is still so much fun to play. And tbh, it's so awesome to be able to meet these legendary NPCs in LONDON like what the hell is Marx doing in London ?? And I loved it. AC Syndicate embraces its own kitsch, and I think they are right to do so. We've got enough dark broody assassins, motivated by revenge. Although I think it could've been a great dark Victorian setting, the lighter tone is 100% embraced. I'm currently streaming it to my gf, who only played Black Flag (on my recommendation) bc stealth frustrates her while I love it, and she's enjoying the game as much as I do.

i agree, it's a shame they dont seem to be interested in revisting this setting/time period but a industrial revolution AC nowadays would be pretty awesome, myabe even turn f the century america or france

It's always going to be a matter of personal taste in many regards, but there were a lot of things I enjoyed about Syndicate like the overall tone and humour and parkour (although not being able to jump was very annoying) and frankly, it was the last AC game I found myself enjoying when I play it. I can certainly see ways it could be improved, the main villain for one example. He only showed up in cut scenes for the most part until the end, and while I liked what he got up to in those cut scenes, there was never any real connection at all with him and the twins. I do quite like both the Frye twins too, the performances and chemistry seemed right for siblings, and I wouldn't have minded some kind of follow up with them. Maybe someone might give them a sequel where they head up towards Glasgow maybe 10 years later to oust the Templars there. God, the bar fights Jacob could end up getting into there... but I'd also want to see more of his grand daughters missions in WW1, only having one rift to show off what she could do seemed a bit of a waste.

honestly, my main problem with the story was Jacob getting shat on because everything falls apart after his assassinations proving how fragile the templars were making London could he have been more prepared to deal with the fallout yes but we also have to realize that these disasters would be worse if he hadn't made those kills when he did imagine the syrup addiction going another year and then something goes wrong it would shatter London, the transport templar her system would've fallen apart if she broke her neck on stairs and so on this is the real problem with the templar way of thinking they make themselves too indispensable they don't properly train replacements to themselves.

I really enjoyed Syndicate more than Unity. And I think it's because of how Unity's character progression in terms of levelling, for me Syndicate's character progression is much more refined.

The Unity model was ultimately what they should have stuck to, with the Syndicate polish.

Video idea: How did the concept of synchronization affect how you roleplayed. The original AC might be my favorite one. Because of how much emphasis does it make on the idea that you're a person trying to remember what your ancestor actually did, so you better act exactly like them or you'll desynchronize and won't find your objective. I think that helped me immerse myself in Altaïr's shoes and that's my favourite thing to do in videogames. I just finished AC III for the first time and I couldn't immerse myself in that world. Maybe it's because of the character switch or the fact that you don't really do what Ratonhnhaké:ton might've done on a day to day basis, I don't know. You talk about playing Origins in a deeply immesirve way. As if it was Red Dead Redemption. Which is my favourite series. And it's a bummer I couldn't immerse myself in AC III considering that it was kinda trying to be RDR, it would've been so cool to actually feel like a Native American. I'd really like some advice on how to enjoy these games in the way you do.

Technically AC black flag had a sort of black box mission through the assassin contracts same with rogue I’m assuming

I actually like Syndicate's comedy because Jacob's responses to things felt like my responses to things, and I also liked the chemistry between him and Evie. They felt like a real brother/sister duo. Now, my only problem is that they didn't turn the comedy down when situations required it and they didn't develop Jacob nor Evie in a meaningful way.

Syndicate despite being my lease favorite in the franchise has some of the most memorable missions and probably my second favorite gameplay loop

The “one thing?” What about the carriages? They’re fucking awesome.

Definitely my favorite part of Syndicate, and if it weren't there I don't think I would've played it as much as I did or even tried the Jack the Ripper dlc (which is so damn good). Love to see it back, almost got something similiar-ish in Mirage, but it was more like how Unity did those black box missions though not the same. Mirage still did a step in the right direction I think, especially with the constraints that team worked under

I love how, as Ubisoft takes the saga's mediocrity even further beyond, we slowly but surely began to appreciate what Unity and Syndicate had to offer despite the multiple technical issues

Ubisoft are nice to us genuinely. We don't appreciate at them at first but the games just need to marinate with time.

I like all the ac games they all are alot of fun

Tbh, every game since Black Flag has had something that hasn't got enough credit. I liked Syndicate a lot. Jacob is the better protagonist in my eyes but I do think the game would have been better if Jacob and Evie had been more mature and the game needed to be serious. The game is beautiful, the robes are awesome, and the missions were great. I personally don't hate any of the games so Syndicate is like a 8/10 for me. I also disagree about the RPGs. The games want you to choose how you play. They do favor combat but the satisfaction with using stealth and the bow is phenomenal especially in Origins. There are different tools, and while not necessary, the game gives you plenty of options on how you can kill a target. Syndicate does this better in some ways but the RPGs are all about player option in a more ancient world.

honestly, origins smacked the RPG series though, as much as people rag on the rest of it part of me wishes they merged syndicate and origins after that, especially when the hidden ones became a thing and made a bayek / aya sequel that leaned more into the assassins of things more

Ac rogue, Unity and Syndicate have the best mission design in the series BY FAR. Unity and Syndicate are fun because you KNOW you are gonna get a stealth mission, unlike the Ezio games where you have to get through 5 setpiece or unique gameplay scenario missions, before you get to a true stealth or movement mission. Rogue is just fun, like it has cool missons, you are doing cool things in Rogue, constantly, the second half is pure action, loved the fast pace, I think it fits the game too, they also had a good dostribution of stealth/movement and ship/action missions. I don't think that can be said for other games.

If there are somethings that if I would keep the same about this game, if I was (some-facking-how) in charge of the team that was creating this game, it would be these blackbox missions, Unity gameplay as base, Jacob and Evie and that's it. Everything else would be revamped or changed completely.

need the thumbnail robe in syndicate with mods fr

NEW VIDEOOOOOO

I think they should’ve done a sequel to unity with Arno as the protagonist again, instead of syndicate

Syndicate london is amazing (just too wide) love the metal and stone sound and aedtethic (love steampunk) , i love the dtealth and the parkour even being downgraded and not having ejects is funny and one of the best ❤ syndicate parkour is so much underated

The night time in this game is amazing

"Good stealth with out good mission design is useless". This how i feel with MGS5 Great stealth and great combat but the open world design means the levels are all the same and they set in the desert. I played manhunt for for tim3 recently and had Blast with the stelath but the levels were designed around stealth. San Andreas i played aftet it had stealth but the game was simply not built around it. Games like Hitman and Dishonored 2 have such great level designed for stealth if MGS5 was like that it would have truely been amazing.

Honestly, at this point nothing really matters to me in Assassin's Creed except the writing. The story, the characters. Because that DIRECTLY influences what the gameplay will be like, how deep, how immersive it will be. I don't think most people working at Ubisoft even really understand what to do with AC and thus we've strayed so far from the DNA of the series, to the point where even Mirage feels like a poor imitation of AC 1, a game over decade old.

literally the only improvement syndicate made from unity was the stealth system/missions. so sad that they didn’t built on unity’s amazing foundation

If the Assassins Creed Franchise would have lived up to the potential set in AC1 it would have become an immersive sim after Revelations. Making AC an immersive sim is, in my opinion, the best way to make the assassin fanatsy come to life. Allthough of course it would have to be handled completely different than any other imsim because of parkour and just the way these games arw or rather what the appeal is but nontheless I truly believe that this should be the path forward.

You have a really calming voice, do you ever get that?😂

I think it is somewhat underrated, and feel that it is better than AC Unity in most regards. It has an endearing charm that Unity never had, while improving most things regarding the technical stuff, and wasn't an embarrassment like Unity was for Ubisoft with its horrendous bugs and glitches Unity took itself twice as seriously compared to this game, but ironically it was twice as dumb with its offensively weak writing and plot Also, I just have some nostalgia towards this game. I remember that cinematic CG trailer, with the Noel Gallagher song playing all throughout. It got me so hyped up for the game as a teenager at the time This game was my inspiration for a concept I came up with for a university project a few years ago about a hypothetical AC game set in 1920s Chicago, which would chronologically take place after AC Syndicate (which would feature Lydia Frye as a prominent supporting character) an idea which i feel could have interesting potential.

I feel a lot of these points also apply to Mirage, barring a few story missions

ubisoft needs to integrate all teams into one entity and tell 'em to do ONE AC game for next 5+ years and stop that ac game spam - this is the only way to get a 10/10 AC game in the future. (they also should start by digging out source code for unity and a) fix it then b) bring it up to the current age. and sadly all of those changes would require a new head at the helm of that company which is unlikely i guess (gotta remove features from engine to shit out a 'AAAA' pirate mmo where you can't even swim XD)

Is he using a mod to keep the hood up while walking? I thought while using the hood you were considered in "stealth" mode and constantly crouching, unless you started to run.

Every assassination mission has a myriad of options how to tackle it? I don't know if "two or three" qualifies as a myriad. Convince X, steal Y's key or hide at Z. And seriously, "perfectly polished"? Ubisoft's AC franchise is famous for a lack of polish and its at times serviceable, at other times finicky, at yet other times completely bonkers imprecise core mechanics. In fact, it's disheartening to see how much potential Syndicate had and how much of it it wasted. You can absolutely see a few ideas - and the lack of courage to actually explore them thoroughly, instead relying on a "MOVE, goddammit! No, NOT UP, straight ahead! WTF are you doing? NO, NOT THAT WAY!" system to be the basis of every gaming concept. Polish is exactly what this game could have used in almost every department.

they can actually salvage all of the good things from unity & syndicate & use it to remake AC-1 , but we all know how ubisoft do their thing , so there is a little chances that gonna happen

I believe syndicate was an improvement from unity, a lot of issues with enemies, playing stealth, sticking to walls or standing up for no reason, the parkour was slightly downgraded and the story was lame, especially the ending, killing the last templar 5-6 times, kinda wish you could choose one of the twins to sacrifice for the other or have greenie sacrifice for both to live ending.

Syndicate was alr, playing it rn

= Toggle on and off the hood. The only part I thought was revolutionary from this game, only problem is you have to crouch to turn it on. I would’ve liked to have it on always or off. There’s the grapple hook which was OP, however it was the ONLY way to navigate this empty giant map… Arkham games do it better.

Imo ac syndicate is a top ac game. Evie is a really underrated and powerful assassin. I like the light tone and jokes surprisingly. 10x better than unity.

I always like your videos but the premise of this video is entirely wrong for one reason: Nostalgia-obsessed fanboys on the internet have gaslighted a lot of people in the recent years by overhyping old products as "good" when at the times they were considered completely low level (and vice versa), claiming things like "The Star Wars prequels were masterpieces", "Hulk 2008 was a masterpieces" and "Assassins Creed Unity was a masteripiece" forgetting that at the time these products were hated by everyone, bashed by critics and abandoned by audiences and for good motives. Assassin's creed Unity was so hated it had become the symbol of the assassin's creed downfall and was a literal meme of bad Ubisoft products, and now I see videos of these nostalgia kids claiming how good it was and how it's better than most modern games. that's so hypocritical it hurts, especially when objectively better games like BLACK FLAG and SYNDICATE were way better than games like Unity and now they are considered worse. it's just bad historical memory \ gaslighting, just like how nowadays people think the 2008 Hulk is supposed to be better than Ruffalo Hulk, while we all know Ruffalo Hulk is WAY better in movies like 2012's The Avengers. I could keep going by talking about how these nostalgia obsessed people still gaslight everyone with this "The good old days" narrative claiming stuff like Star Wars prequels were so good compared to "Disney shit movies of these days" while now we have products like Rogue One, a Disney movie miles better than the prequels. sorry for the long rant but I usually love your videos and I just didn't like your take on "Syndicate is considered one of the lowest parts of the saga" while that's clearly what these nostalgia guys want us all to believe. it wasn't.

hello i have a question. how would a assasins creed work in drugwar south america

Bruh I swear no one understands this franchise like you and leok

I swear nobody’s played the dreadful crimes dlc… way better then maharaja and Jack the Ripper. They also do it wayyy better then Unity with unique twists on pre established mechanics… but the animations are gross

The only thing syndicate did right was using unitys parkour system

I like the game, people need to stop comparing any game to others just play the game thinking is the only one. DONE

cool cool, i tend to agree with everything you say. we could probably be friends IRL. love your videos, probably the only youtuber i care to listen to regarding AC. what im here to say, in this moment, is i've been playing Black Flag, one of the last AC games on my list. I heard it was the best selling, so i was surprised it took me this long to get to it. well, i think it's shit. seriously wtf is everyone talking about? you dont hear many negatives about it other than the tailing missions...well, LOL, thats fucking most of the sequences. and they suck. seriously horrible broken experience. its a good thing when a game challenegs you, but this is not that. this is just bad gaming. i've never lost or failed a mission in an AC game so many times for such dumb reasons like the ones i encounter in AC Black Flag. anyways i'm AFK right now so i dont break my controller and needed to rant somewhere. Thanks for listening. Obviously im going to finish the game and obviously i enjoy all AC games and obviously AC Unity still reins supreme. BTW, combat in Black Flag is fun, characters are great, i actually dont mind the grind of upgrading ship... but what does it matter if im not looking forward to the next sequence? huh? tell me you black flag freaks. rant over. i feel better now. PS to answer your question my favorite part about AC Syndicate is having most of the animations from Unity still present with a more polished stealth system.

Assasin creed syndicate is my 2nd creed game, its my favorite. my first was black flag i personally like Jacob, Evie is kind of annoying to me but she does have really good outfits. Also the combat is fine to me since i'm so use to enemies being stronger because i play rpg with similar sytem.

I never found it that bad it has failings yes but every game has some kind of weak point.

Syndicate did many things right. The game is only avoided because of false narrative that slanders Jacob, just to prop up evie, because in reality evie is the most dull and awful character in the franchise, and Jacob is actually just as good as Arno or shay for example. The other reason it is avoided is because the game suffers from being woefully misunderstood partly due to the cringe and ever pointless evie getting in the way of the story. She wasn't even planned for the original version of the game. If we had gotten exactly the same game as Syndicate but with only Jacob, and the story was even just slightly darker, then no one would say they dislike Jacob, and the games reputation would be good. (I do like lydia as well as Jacob, even if i dislike evie and jack. Lydia seemed cool and had a great surprise storyline that was such a wonderful moment when I found the portal.)

I never understood why so many people disliked Syndicate 😅 it was very fun and smooth when it came to clearing camps and using different tools.

Syndicate has the misfortune of being the worst AC game in two ways. It has the absolute worst protagonists, and by far the worst combat. I did everything I could to avoid initiating combat in that game. But in every other way you could evaluate an AC game it is a good game. The last time AC felt like AC.

I quite liked AC Syndicate, except all of the parts that Jacob soiled with his existence. The Gruesome Crimes, or whatever it was called, were my favourite part.

Assassin’s creed syndicate for me is in the top 3 assassin’s creed games if we’re talking about fun

What's funny is that after all you say in this video, you still claim that Syndcate wasn't a great game. I love your channel and your content, but gimme a goddamn break. I said it before and "ill say it again: AC Syndcate is one of my all time favorite AC games, what makes it one of my favorite games ever. Long live the Assassins and to hell with Abstergo.

Unity was still better if you forget the bugs.

Interesting how did it go with AC Origin's score 81 metacritic and 7 out of 10 user score sounds like a good game to me. The only reason your trying to hype Syndicate because bwitish your bwithish game bwithish.

The subtitles are irritating and make it hard to watch the video

i refuse to believe this game did anything right.

unpopular opinion syndicate is better than unity

they went down the wrong path with assassin's creed at ac1. these games are bad. ubisoft doesn't make good games.
