AC Syndicate Could Have Been Amazing

  • I remember when the leaks for ac victory came out, it felt like the perfect sequel to ac unity. Ac syndicate (then called victory) seemed like a gritty follow-up to unity that really didn't shy away from the horrors of the industrial revolution. We seemed to play as a cool male assassin with amazing robes in a very dark and gritty London. What we got, however, wasn't a game that I felt was made for me. Though I have fun with it, ac games designed by Quebec arent the way I would make an AC Game. They write them with this happy-go-lucky tone that seems to never take itself seriously. I didn't find Jacob that funny and I really liked Evie but she wasn't given enough screen time. Maybe I'm just an edgelord but i like when AC takes itself seriously and pursues that dark tone that is befitting of most of history.
    Another problem I have with Quebec games is the streamlined and automatic gameplay. movement and combat are so dumbed down that a skill curve is essentially eliminated. Once you become fluent with unity's parkour system, coming back to this one literally makes you feel trapped. But the beginning levels of Ac syndicate still hold that tone and mission design that ac victory looked like it was going to have. so here is that video.
    Assassin's Creed Syndicate is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. It was released on October 23, 2015, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and on November 19, 2015, for Microsoft Windows.

    The game was absolutely drop dead gorgeous. The little touches they had added to the npc's like little kids playing football ⚽ on the streets were delightful.
    But the combat.. Such a button masher.
    And the failure to capitlize on famous characters in Victorian London. There was one recognizable character in ac2, Leonardo da Vinci, yet, he captured hearts of everyone. Ac Syndicate had so many, like dickens, Darwin, graham Bell, marx, yet you don't remember a single one of them.

      I love syndicate despite Hating it for several years before to love it as a nice fun stealth game. Game are really scaled by upgrade and levels. Skills&Tools are specifically special and easy. Also, to make it interesting, having minimum upgrade, or at least upgrade specifically stuff that actually you need for urself and don't upgrade the rest, it's more fun because it only means we only have sneaking choice or die easily in combat, besides as if the SSI meter isn't easy enough. Stealth are the easiest in this game, but sneaking also must done with style. More importantly not broken like unity. Imagine failing to shoot and throw smoke or stun, bruh +_+

    The stealth mechanics and level design are by far the pinnacle of the series. The Hitman-lite assassinations and being able to complete mission truly stealthily without killing or sometimes even knocking anyone out, even though the controls aren't as smooth as 3-4. Too bad the gameplay immediately got rebooted with the new games and we'll never get a game that builds on Syndicate's strengths.

    @natchu96 2 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    I personally think the mission design in this game is actually pretty good...at least in making me feel like I'm having a consistently refreshing experience getting to the target. I've crawled up and down an empty hospital, crossed a crowded train station, impersonated a cop. Even had a whole level that wasn't even a restricted area, so you almost crowd blended your whole way through and only needed to stab people twice. Whereas Unity felt like they tried to do the black box thing justice, ran out of time partway, and it got progressively more and more low-effort (like the narrative lol) until eventually you more or less just had to kill everyone just to get away with murdering one person.
    It would've been nice if player control wasn't so dumbed down and automated and the plot surrounding those stealth setpieces wasn't some weird upbeat action comedy with no consequences. Hell, they gave the higher-end stealth-"specialized" skills to Evie but essentially all but one stealth kill mission is Jacob-only, which is an utterly baffling decision. The game has fun missions but my ability to really fool around in them is basically always neutered by the minimalistic movement options and the fact that I'm forced to infiltrate with a character the game encourages you to spec for brawling.

    honestly it's always been one of my favorite games. It doesn't have the best story in the series but it has perfect stealth and the best freeroam in my opinion. It's the first game I actually came back to after having finished the story and I'm now trying to get it platinumed. After Syndicate I'll probably try to platinum the rest too though, execpt Black Flag because I foresee that will be a big pain to do and maybe Unity because I'm not really into the coop stuff but still, Syndicate was the first one I actually wanted to have platinum.

      I hated Syndicate's parkour. It tried to mimic Unity but was lacking. It was extremely sticky, and restrictive for me. The combat? The combat was God-aweful. It was so incredibly sticky, procedural and once again, restrictive. I found myself using ranged weapons and stealth techniques just to avoid combat because I really hated that game's combat, it wasn't difficult anymore after the first hour of playing or whatever but it was just tedious and boring. Oh, and I hated Unity's combat as well, but it was not nearly as bad as Syndicate. Gameplay-wise, Syndicate's most redeeming qualities were the crouch-stealth mechanic, Evie's outfit which allows her to become invisible when crouched, the rope-launcher and the carriage rides. The only game, the combat of which I didn't enjoy at all in the new games is Odyssey. Origins was annoying and bouncy at times too but nothing compared to Odyssey. Valhalla was a major step up imo. I enjoyed the more free-form combat system of Valhalla. Plus it wasn't sticky or bouncy and was definitely not restrictive. I don't mind the parkour in the newer games all that much because I honestly didn't really care about the parkour. All I cared about was the ability to scale buildings and traverse the landscape. Valhalla's parkour for me was a major improvement on games made in the engine for the Kenway saga. I fucking hated parkour in those games.

  • @Bruce-z6k
    @Bruce-z6k ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I’ve played all AC games and Syndicate is the most polished AC game I’ve ever played, not the best but most polished because Syndicate came between after Unity and before new AC trilogy, it has older AC style gameplay and new AC style of skills leveling system, a better upgrade version of Unity, fast paced and fast combat.
    Also, out of all AC games, Syndicate is the most modern AC on timeline, being in 1860s with trains, cars, steel boats. All AC timeline is older, with new AC trilogy being in ancient times.
    AC2 brotherhood, Black Flag and Syndicate is my top 3. Rogue is most underrated. Unity is a love story AC game as well, I loved Arno & Elise.
    Odyssey is my favorite in the new AC trilogy with a beautiful open world that’s unmatched. Origins and Valhalla are amazing too, I just hated how door is always barred everywhere in Valhalla lol but combat was most fun.
    Origins felt like the most connected AC with Bayek & Aya, it’s a wonderful game.

  • @chrismoore5333
    @chrismoore5333 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Syndicate IS amazing. But you've got to understand Jacob is the protagonist and his story is much more complex if you don't understand his position as a oppressed demographic in Victorian society. All the story's depth comes from that, and the journey to Jacob realising he can free others from oppression, but never himself. When he accepts that, is when he embraces the creed. Evie doesn't understand the conflict Jacob is a part of, and so she's a bit of a block on the games narrative. Infact in early development she wasn't even a playable protagonist, and her missions were originally made for Jacob. Evies role in the story was split between herself and Pearl. As for gameplay, it's the same as unity but it works. You dont have a free jump, but that literally is it. It trended to hate all Quebec games, despite many of the team behind AC3 and AC syndicate, being the same people who worked on the original games up until brotherhood. The members of each team have lots of overlap.

    There were things that bugged me about this game, things like the Double Kill animation being a direct copy/paste of Arno. I hated the Gaunlets and how they got shinier and more gaudy with every higher version. Kinda defeats the purpose of a hidden blade if your gauntlet shouts "HEY! PAY TOTAL ATTENTION TO THE CONTRAPTION ON MY LEFT ARM!!!" I hated the forced romance of Evie and Green, after the amazing romance of Arno and Elise.
    I do like the story, to an extent, but both Fry twins need a smack upside the head. Jacob kills Templars without thoughts to the consequences of his actions and never goes back to check on what his deeds did to the city. Evie cleans up his messes, but couldn't give two shits about the Templars in Starrick's organization and leaves Jacob to his own devices so she's partly to blame. She just concentrates on the Isu Artifact and gives absolutely no care to anything else but that until she's forced to by Jacob's actions.
    Unlike others I didn't hate the Grapple Gun, I just think it was underutilized.
    #1 It should have had an ammo count (ropes) which would need to get refilled. Their usage would be on when you did a horizontal crossing. Because if you watch, the rope just stays there after you use it.
    #2 It should have been used in combat like a stylized version of the Rope Dart. Which again would lead to the idea of buying replacement ropes/hooks as ammo. I get they probably were afraid of looking too much like the Arkham games if they did it, but it still should have been a thing.

    Syndicate was too open world. You see how in brother hood the mini games and the pigeon missions were sort of brought back with napoleons battle in Unity. You can only stealth when needed in syndicate.

    i really enjoyed the map of syndicate because it took place in a more recent time in history and the more modern environment was a nice change of pace from other games. i also enjoyed the different creative ways you could use to execute targets. the grapple mechanic itself felt really nice as well.

    Ngl I 100%ed this game, not just achievements. I bought and upgraded every weapon, piece of armor, and did so with all the DLC.

    I really want to love syndicate, but that game always feels like every aspect lacks one push to greatness. I would lie if i said i didnt enjoy syndicate, but the shortcomings are felt in the smallest things, like how you cant do a manual jump anymore, often breaking the flow of your rooftop parkour. How you cant resume running immediately after a grappling hook if youre hooded. How the whole replay mission thing is just so buggy, and the game even refused to let me continue to sequence 8 because i didnt clear any borough, because if i do the city feels empty like Brotherhood after the towers are gone. The concepts of syndicate's blackbox mission is awesome but feels too handhold-y. That tower of london mission was absurdly easy, i tried not using the grappling hook and it was still a matter of smoke bomb and air assassination.
    But the 1 thing I'm sure of though, is that you make this game look awesome, well done :)

    Love the vibe of this game: cold industrial, moody and rainy at times, beautiful soundtrack. The core trio of characters I like a lot, but wish Henry had more to do. The storyline is decent, but for sure could have been truly amazing with a few more solid drafts. Open world and the missions make it feel large, even if they are often repetitive with the button-mashing combat. But the parkour... yeah to me it felt, I don't know how to explain it, kinda boxy? Like the early games were so fluid and had smooth transitions between climbing points, but this one felt more like a grid. Overall still a solid game, just had some things going on that held it back from being truly fantastic.

    - bad plot: the game adopts a fun tone in an era where people, children where dying at work, enslaved ans killed in the factories
    - bad parkour : less permissive than in Unity. The grappling hook is slow, and you can’t use it on a carriage nor a train. You can’t use it while jumping. You can’t use it in combat.
    - the weapons : only three ! And three weapons that all feel exactly the same, the only variation is the skin
    - the combat : bad ragdolls, enemies fly for no reason, according to the fun tone of the game. Plus, you have less mobility when you fight, it’s like watching two cones fight each other. And they are very few finishers. Also, the enemies wait for their turn, again.
    - the rooks : so you can only summon five of them, and you can only order them to fight or stay, if they do, because the AI will fight any enemy nearby, even when you’re trying to sneak. Remember the options you had in AC3 ? Also, the idea of managing the different districts in the city becomes just a three of talents, where you just purchase your upgrades.
    That’s it, if the game corrected all of this then it would have been pretty good, in my opinion. Sorry for the possible mistakes, I’m not english

    Syndicate had lots of potential. To this day, it is the only game IMO who got the traditional stealth just right.
    But ultimately it started the trend of oversimplification of the movement system and even tho it is not the worst in that regard, It makes me mad.
    Also This was the perfect introduction to Evie's character. Well designed environment, Focused on stealth over combat, just like the character herself.

    Odyssey is a good game but a dead A.C.
    Origins despite being an RPG is pretty amazing.
    Syndicat is shit, boring and too repetitive, tho i love the cart driving gameplay in it.
    Unity was ahead of its time.
    Rogue brings a interesting approach to the AC univers.
    Blackflag is the best AC in terms of gameplay.
    AC 3 is good but not perfect, it was the first ac to introduce a more advanced parkour system, and Ship gameplay.
    AC Revelation is one of the best AC in terms of storytelling, the way they linked Ezio and Altair was magnificent.
    AC Brotherhood in a way ended AC 2 story so it goes without saying that its a really fuckin good AC + it brung the guild management gameplay which was refreshing.
    AC 2 do i really have to talk about it ?.
    AC 1 is what Assassin's Creed is all about its basic but even if you play it right now i can assure you you'd love/still love it.

It should also have been something you had in your equipment instead of a constant tool at your disposal. I love syndicate to pieces, but the grapple hook, should've been a grapple gun, and it should've been used for traversing the map, fighting enemies, and stealth, but with a coold down feature. Have the gun over heat or something, where lots of smoke comes out of it. Finally, the range of the gun should have been shorter. More of a boost then a flight tool.

    1. AC Syndicate IS amazing in its own way IMO, but it's true that there are some flaws in in and it's sometimes repetitive. However, these qualities are true to almost all previous AC games to some extent and that is why Ubisoft changed direction with Origins and the rest.
    2. IMO you do too much unneccessary moves and kills in this video. Is there a point you are trying to make with it? Back in the day I did it with more stealth less killing, only when neccessary.
