Massacre 7646 Report post Posted December 8, 2015 Thanks to Amazon's Deal of the Day and a gift card that I've left collecting dust for a year, I've just snagged Syndicate for $7. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtagrl 4317 Report post Posted December 8, 2015 Great deal - I will get it in the future at some point, along with Uncharted 4 and Just Cause 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 1390 Report post Posted December 11, 2015 I'm consistently around 12 months behind AC releases these days. Played unity not long ago. While I love the franchise I can't help but feel it's a little stale. Black flag was great for the navel battles. It's a shame they have dropped that in the last couple of releases. But I like the return to the large populous cities too. Basically I'm just really hard to please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted December 11, 2015 AC is still solid, the issue is that they switch studios between releases, and the studio that made Unity is fucking retarded. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shabbagaz 444 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 A new hope? http://blog.ubi.com/a-message-from-the-assassins-creed-team/ Hooray! They've finally listened! It became painfully obvious after Unity that it needed a rest - annual releases were killing the franchise, although I still appreciate the annual release of new AC novels.

ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted February 27, 2016 I picked up Syndicate last week for 19 quid and have to say its a pretty good game. I love London and the work they put into the architecture, the east end feels squalid and grotty as it should do and the west feels entirely different with better streetlamps and more greenery. I also like how they made the weather realistic and didn't just say "oh it's England therefore it's always raining." The story isn't bad, pretty much what you'd expect; although I expected someone to die at the end - well someone did but he was a templar. Spoiler; templars die in this game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still haven't played it myself as I was put off somewhat by the crappiness of Unity. Have been reading the book though which is a great read. Might end up playing it eventually but there's a back-log of games I want to play and I also need a bigger hard drive for my PS4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted May 13, 2016 It looks good, for the most part, but I don't even know where to begin, with the man-on-a-stick they've turned the animus into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted May 13, 2016 would you rather stare at him lying in a chamber?? that's not good for hollywood action... lol i kinda like it actually, it'd be cool if they added that to the game.... my only gripe is allowing kanye's voice to be heard... the song is fine, but his voice almost kills it...

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted May 13, 2016 who is the female assassin? it can't be cotillard, she's the doctor back at abstergo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtagrl 4317 Report post Posted May 13, 2016 Her name is Ariane Labed, a Greek actress. The assassin's name is Maria, according to IMDb. She apparently was cast after Alicia Vikander (Fassbender's current gf) left the movie to do the fifth Bourne film. v Jeremy Irons makes for a great bad guy.

gtagrl 4317 Report post Posted September 22, 2016 I noticed AC: Syndicate is on sale this week on the PlayStation Store, 67% off. $27 instead of $80 for the base game, or $40 instead of $120 for the gold edition. Time for a Leap of Faith, methinks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shabbagaz 444 Report post Posted September 22, 2016 Also noticing they're releasing the Ezio trilogy for current gen (PS4 & XBONE): Would like to know more details but I'm still tempted! By far the best AC lead character by a country mile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted September 22, 2016 true, but i am not sure i want to re-play the trilogy... i sputtered out on 4 twice, dammit i need to finish that one... of all the AC's, i was most excited about that one, but i never finished it... syndicate sounds fun tho, but i might hold off while i play some other games like mad max... and hopefully beat black flag this year... there's not a single game coming out this fall/winter that is a must have for me, so perhaps this'll give me time to get caught up on games from last fall thru this summer...

gtagrl 4317 Report post Posted September 23, 2016 I just have to decide if the gold edition is worth the extra bells and whistles, I think it includes a Jack the Ripper side story, so it's tempting to get the top version. Either way this is comparable to what we used to pay for a new/used PS3 game only a few years ago, way more in my price range and exactly the kind of sale I've been hoping for. I haven't played this series since AC:3, might be nice to revisit that whole gameplay, and have another next-gen title in my arsenal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ViceMan 1380 Report post Posted September 24, 2016 I enjoyed Syndicate more than Unity (although that's not saying much,) London felt quite accurate for the Victorian era; lots of smoke and factories in the east end and that red brick they loved to use. I felt disappointed in the mission where you had to scale Big Ben, I won't say why but you'll probably understand if you play it. Hopping across the Thames from boat to boat is pretty fun though. Anyway it seems like we're going to have to wait until 2018 for the next AC game, which I think is a brilliant move. Means they actually care about the series again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
