- Do you agree? Disagree? Let me know what you think, I'd love to start a discussion around this.
I think a few things I want to clarify is that I don't hate the other Assassin's Creed games however I do think Unity is the best in the franchise. I didn't bother comparing Unity to games that came after such as Assassins Creed Origins stray so much from what makes a game an Assassins Creed game that comparing it to Assassins Creed Unity would be far too long and not very meaningful in the video. I appreciate you guys for watching and if you want, you can watch more video essays from myself and NAM12399

Assassin's Creed Unity is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released in November 2014 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is the eighth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and the successor to 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. It also has ties to Assassin's Creed Rogue which was released for the previous generation consoles, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on the same date.
The plot is set in a fictional history of real world events and follows the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The story is set in Paris during the French Revolution; the single-player story follows Arno Victor Dorian in his efforts to expose the true powers behind the Revolution. The game retains the series' third-person open world exploration as well as introducing a revamped combat, parkour and stealth system. The game also introduces cooperative multiplayer to the Assassin's Creed series, letting up to four players engage in narrative-driven missions and explore the open world map.
Assassin's Creed Unity is an action-adventure stealth game set in an open world environment. The game was meant to be rebuilt, with fencing being used as an inspiration for the new system. In addition to returning weapons from previous games, Assassin's Creed Unity introduces the Phantom Blade. The Phantom Blade uses the mechanics of a crossbow to fire a silent projectile at a great distance, while still serving the same role as the Hidden Blade in previous Assassin's Creed games. Navigation for the game was also overhauled: new "Free-run up" and "Free-run down" commands were added to make it easier for the player to scale buildings in either direction. Additionally, Arno learns new moves throughout the game, but the player can also purchase new skills as well. With the updated, larger crowds, new interactions with them are also available. The crowd regularly presents many activities, appearing organically, that the player can then choose to engage in at their leisure. Examples include scaring a group of bullies by pulling out a weapon, "settling" a disagreement between two civilians by killing one of them, which is usually a Templar, or chasing down a thief who has just pick pocketed somebody.
For the first time, the series allows players to customize the characters' abilities, adopting a skill tree that enables players to assign points earned through gameplay to improve their skills in stealth, melee, and ranged combat, and health. Players are also able to customise their weapons, armour and equipment to further complement their individual style of play. Players also have a wider selection of weapons available, including swords, axes, spears, rifles, pistols and throwable items, such as smoke bombs. The expansion DLC, Assassin's Creed Dead Kings, adds the formidable guillotine gun.
Assassin's Creed Unity received mixed reviews upon its release. Praise was directed towards its visuals, improved gameplay, customization options, multiplayer-oriented format, mission design, setting, characterization, and narrative. However, the game was criticized for a lack of gameplay-innovation, unrefined controls, and numerous graphical issues and bugs upon release. Because of the game's poor launch owing to the technical issues, Ubisoft issued an apology, and offered compensation.
Assassin's Creed Unity was followed by Assassin's Creed Syndicate, which takes place in Victorian England, and was released in October 2015.

Unity’s graphics are still insane and there are walkable interiors and the riots it just felt cool
The game looks beautiful especially in the daylight and there is a lot to do(missions, collectibles,etc). And not to forget the customization.after all this time I still play this game.
did everyone just forget about the Sequence 7 glitch for Xbox players that wouldnt let u pass the mission
@@jakecorshia No problem here for PS players. Also, I personally didn't encounter as many glitches in the game as other people did, and I got the game on release, so I played it as it was getting updated. It took me listening to a review online to realize that glitches were a problem at all for the general public.
Not to mention amount of people on street. I mean crowds were huge. Also unfortunately last time we get to use hiding in crowds.
I almost wish there was no riots or mass gathering the scale of unity cause that causes 90% of the frame rate imo
Fun fact: for unity they hired parkour artists Jessie Laflair to do all the climbing animations
I do parkour and he's one if my favourite freerunners out there. Didn't know he worked on Unity until I read your comment. The game deserves more love
I mean practitioners were involved in development of all AC games,but this was something else
Funny because they scrapped most of the stuff he did cause a lot of shit Arno does isn’t how a parkour athlete would do it.
@@santi_super_stunts2573 true
You mean Mo-capped
For those who fell in love with this game at first sight, UNITE
Hilman Hakim bro when I tell u I got goosebumps when I saw the trailer after finishing the game, I’m not lying
The trailer made me fall in love and the game re-assured my love for it
Absolutely
Consider us united
To be honest i dont like story for me brotherhood story is the best but the gameplay and environment play is awesome thats why ac unity is still on my pc
For me AC Unity is the most underrated of the franchise, with Rogue.
Rogue is my favourite
Rogue is sadly just extraneous. It wasn’t particularly ambitious and just existed as an extension of Black Flag and the last game on the ps3
My favorites are Unity, Syndicate, and honestly Valhalla.
Rogue is decent at least. Edit: amazing is more appropriate
Everybody says Rogue is just a copy of black flag and I mean there not wrong but its still good and refreshing plus it's still a assassins creed game and is really fun the outfits are good story is very good and the ship play is fun so thank you for saying that rogue is underrated
I'm glad I'm not the only one who went through all that trouble just to get black
I settled with dark blue
@@ruins7379 I settled with a Cheat Engine table which lets you unlock any item.
Bro the first thing I did when playing the game was getting all the chests and cockades lmao.
it wasworth it cuz i looked the coolest of my friends
Falcony how
Unity is probably the best current gen title that actually feels like an Assassins game.
I really miss the parkour up and down system.
Tim Drake Yes! Please please can they bring it back! I hate the new AC games, they’re good games by themselves but I expect AC games!
@@projectrobot1095 Sorry friend, but it's not gonna happen because the new fans really like odyssey (i dont). Ubisoft probably gonna continue this route and release a heavy RPG assassin creed game.
I think Syndicate is the last real AC
AC doesn’t feel the same after Unity
Syndicate was good but it was more like a gang war
I’m not gonna talk about Origins and Odyssey cuz they’re not Assassin’s also Valhalla joined the chat too
The sheer density of npcs was also fucking incredible, it was as if you were actually in a city that was collapsing from the inside
Very good point, I would expect that type of density from current gen consoles
@@Brevskiyou'd expect, yet most modern games can't even handle cities like in unity. I just recently started playing it for the first time and I'm blown away
yeah that amount of people never came back to any ac game. sometimes you had hundreds of people gathering in the streets.
Too bad that I feel like Ubisoft was scared into submission by the hate, causing this approach to assassins creed to die
They should have used it to improve the game and fix many of the problems people had. Skyrim was fixed by modders, Unity didn't get that luxury.
@@65firered they did fix most of the bugs. Gamers still bitched
Newest assassins creed, and watch dogs 2, is the proof that ubisoft really playing it save this time, too save.
But, i hope they actually learn something new from that ghost recon breakpoint update that they should listen to their FANS and themself, rather than the majority of gamers who don't even play their game.
@@Nocturne33 It's still broken in many ways on console, that's why. Most of the criticisms are centered around bugs, glitches, and broken features or graphical issues. All of which can be fixed with a remaster. You have to understand it was widely considered to be wasted potential, most people want to like the game, especially considering hindsight. Basically, if the wrinkles can be ironed out it would have a massive comeback.
@@65firered yes I understand. But it was already too late for the developers since there was a hate bandwagon around the game.
I agree with everything you said, except for the part about having the best storyline. AC Unity is set in the middle of the French Revolution, one of the most exciting periods of history! Yet the story is one of a personal vendetta. It has almost no affect on the Revolution unfolding around you except for a mission or two, and the Revolution has almost no influence on the game's plot except for a cool backdrop. So, while I don't think the story was bad, it had potential as big as the Grand Canyon, and it just didn't deliver.
Well said.
It would’ve way better if was centered around the French Revolution like AC 3 with the American revolution
They definitely could've done a lot more with it, and it would have been cool, but I felt like wasn't a huge let-down.
well the games will always be between assassins and templar since I'm not into history i had no issue with this story. it actually tells you how the world of assassins and templar revolves around different things that don't bother with the normal world events.
I have a feeling theyll make a seccond one in the far future where we can have a hand in the revolution. Heres to hoping anyway, its the only way Ubi will win me back into the AC universe

The only game that actually makes you feel like an assassin. Pleease give us a sequel ubisoft. Even though its not perfect, it was a step in the right direction for an AC game.
I'd love a sequel for Arno for sure!
Unity was the best “assassin” game ever made by Ubisoft, sadly it won’t return ever again. All we will got is shitty RPG
Syndicate did
@@kingdom6346 Hey, we got a great RPG and a best AC game
@Fraser Souris the rpg system is shallow compared to a lot of great RPG, all I can give credit is that is one of the good action games. Ac games? Nah, it pays no tribute to ac roots.
"The best character"....sorry...I can defend this game forever, but I can't say Arno is better than Ezio or Edward in any way shape or form
Caleb Davis agree!
Java Monsoon you can’t put fucking kassandra over Anyone else
Agreed
Java Monsoon yea but like you can’t put kassandra over ezio or Connor
@Java Monsoon
-Kassandra
-Good voice-acting
Pick one
I truly did feel like a badass Assassin while playing Unity. Really was one of the most Assassins creed like games I’ve played in the series.
I will never get enough of Arno casually shanking someone while strolling by and barely breaks his stride. It’s so badass and smooth.
"Ezio didn't have a love interest"
Cristina and Sofia: Are we a joke to you?
Cristina barely counts, she shows up once in AC2 and retroactively told us what the fuck happened to her on Brotherhood’s dlc
@@odd-eyes6363 Ezio's memories with her appeared in Brotherhood's base game, no DLC needed. It is explained that these memories were buried inside Ezio and Desmond could access them at Brotherhood's since by that time he has a very high synchronization level with him. She's also mentioned in one of Ezio's letters to Claudia in Revelations: "After the death of Cristina something withered in me... But that feeling, that capacity for love, has returned. I adore Sofia, but dare not drag her into this life of mine... not without fear of hurting her, or driving her away." Yes, she may not be a major character like Elise, but she was still Ezio's love interest for most of his life.
@@rinofang fax yoo finally someone who actually played acd 2 brotherhood and revelation and payed attention
Gabriel Galbán it’s still not comparable. Elise had one game and developed really well, while Cristina was barely featured and she had 3 games to develop her own character and relationship to Ezio. Sofia was definitely an active love interest comparable to Elise but Cristina’s relationship was just a memory that occurred outside of the plot of the game in which it was featured
The reason that unity is the best assasin creed game because it had the best parkour and amazing movement the grapicis was very good and the stealth kill was so much fun
I miss the days when there are BUILDINGS in an AC game...
Jinhunter Slay A LOT OF BUILDINGS is right
Valhalla may change that so let’s keep our hopes up
@@gavinchase2168 oh yes!! Because vikings are expert architects who build Hagia Sophias ever year....... *RIGHT?*
@@gavinchase2168 Norwegian towns will be pretty small and uninteresting for parkour, but London and York might be better
@@jinhunterslay1638 Don't lose hope. A Ubisoft dev (on Reddit) told me that Valhalla, Origins, and Odyssey were part of the same dev cycle. We are gonna see a complete overhaul with the game that comes after Valhalla.
And Unity's parkour will most likely return. The devs know that fans want that system back, but they couldn't do it, since, in the beginning, they chose to build the RPG elements for those games rather than the transversal. Now, they will change that.
Valhalla has its parkour tweaked a little bit (since they didn't have to code much RPG elements because they just imported them from Odyssey), and they had a little more time, but the next game should be the real change.
Now we can only hope for an AC game as pure as this one, nowadays.
True
The reason we won't get is because ac fans are never satisfied with anything. They criticize everything Ubisoft does.
@@omkarhegde1021 i imagine ur an oddyssey fan right
@@Keebler-kun Not exactly. I loved origins, black flag and brotherhood. So I am fine with change. Having similar games is boring
@@omkarhegde1021 But having bad games is worse
Imagine Assasins Creed 2 with Odyssey's Graphics and Unity's Stealth and Parkour.
But if AC2 had Unity's parkour, the Parkour challenges would need to go and there would need to be a new way to get Altair's armour. You have full 100% control over the OG Parkour system while in Unity it's automatic.
@@RobertEdwinHouse9 you care or not doesn't matter . Graphics is a necessary part of a game .
And if they also remove Ezio's gary stueness and sequences 12/13, and revamp the title drop for something other than "yo bro, i hope we don't die or something", yeah, that'd be great!
@@aarondubourg3706 actually i personally feel the opposite, ac1-rogue the parkour was good but very limited pretty much climb up or down with nice animations but still sort of janky, unity's parkour was quite fluid and I'm not to sure what you mean by automatic since ac 1-rogue pretty much had very linear lines of parkour
@@nato4535 since AC3 the series has moved onto automatic parkour. Removing features like manual jump, grabbing, wall ejects etc. The fact that there's no nore parkour puzzles like the Tombs from AC2 shows that Parkour has been dumbed down. In the first 4 games if I wanted to run forward and jump from a ledge it would let me. You had full 100% control in the parkour. Now the game will force you to stop cus it doesn't think you can jump a 1 foot gap.
Thank you. I was so annoyed of everyone calling this game trash.
I always thought it was bad but now that I think about it I played threw it twice which I've only done with earlier games
Too bad it barely ran on my pc back then even on lowest settings with a lower resolution while gta 5 ran perfectly
Hap py i agree so so much
My only disappointment was the removal of chain kill skill that was in black flag where if you counter killed one opponent you could chain it to a nearby foe and I feel the resources that were used on multiplayer could have gone towards the story. Otherwise didnt mind ACU.
Hey could you help me with a assassin's Creed unity problem im having. I play on Xbox one. And I don't know how to upgrade my weapons. Im in the start of sequence 2 and there are missions that say I need to upgrade skills, weapons, and armor. How do I do that.
I feel like you lost everyone when you said “best character” that might have been a stretch
Yh and best story too is just wrong with the existance of ezio 😂
damn straight. Arno is an Ezzio-wanabe in a botched, tired lovestory. absolute garbage in these aspects.
It's really not even a stretch, it's plain wrong.
Yes Ezio is beloved and almost everyone agrees that he's fun and engaging and overall enjoyable. And that's one definition for a great character. But he is still lacking a lot of depth, which was only fixed by assassins creed embers. Arno while not being as fun or enjoyable, actually had a lot of depth to his character. The writers portrayed him being torn between his love for Elise and her heritage as templar and his heritage as an assassin really good. While Ezio is one of the coolest video game characters, Arno seemed much more human to me. Although that character arc wise, Edward and his redemption take the cake in this regard.
@@MrXoohoo ezio also has a lot of depth tho. All ezio has ever wanted was to lead a confortable life surrounded by loved ones which we see even in ac2. However what's even greater is ezio's ambition as he constantly sacrifices his dreams and confortable life to fulfill his goals. He even almost gave up at the start of ac brotherhood but the life he chose didn't let him go that easily. He may be confident and charismatic on the outside but all he wants is to settle down and have a fulfilling life but he we always see him sacrifice that dream for his ambitions. he's always driven by his ambitions of revenge, finding out the truth about the artifacts and his own heritage. At the end in embers, we see him evaluating with him accepting the limits of his ambition. My only issue with arno is that his personality is pretty uninteresting, like he's not as charasmatic as ezio or Edward and that's the only character trait he has making some of the interactions a little stale and boring. His interactions with elise are pretty cool but that's because they're flirting most the time and that's when his charisma rly shines. Other than that he doesn't have any other note worthy character traits.
Arno: Where is Germain
Elise: Where is Germain
Me: Why is Germain!

This game let's you customize your own assassin outfit What's not to love.
True, but the pieces are tied to stats. It'd be better if they had transmog.
Would be nice if you could pick the colour of each individual part though, instead of preset schemes - just for a bit of extra uniqueness
The lack of catch ledge and side ejects.
Hiero Vigilante but part of that is due to the multiple play styles the game gives to you to play, you can be a tank, marksman, a ninja, or a master duelist, and as the enemy’s get harder you need better gear. That’s ultimately in my opinion what makes the game so good. The progression with weapons and armor with stats that make sense for the point of the story you’re in
Shaman only reason I picked up Unity is his videos, lol. I’m aware of side hops and breakfall and use them both very frequently. I just wish that they were implemented in the same way as they were in previous games in the series as opposed to being contextually triggered.
The older games didn't actually have a parkour system that did the job for you. You actually had to do a precise input. It made me appreciate the Ezio trilogy parkour. I used to feel janky about it but once I tried to learn the mechanics more I understood deeply of how great it was. Although it may seem outdated but it's still good. If only they did have that control scheme back with Unity's fluid animations.
Exactly, this guy just can't parkour
@@brrrrrr THANK YOU!!!
so true
For me it feels like AC unity is much more on rails with the parkour than the Ezio games for example. The opposite of what the youtuber here seems to believe.
@@shruk4
❤ you can I get a pic
Holding RT+B to vault over a table without breaking stride will forever be one of my favorite game mechanics.
Holding B/O/Shift while falling to reach out for ledges will forever be one of mine.
You can do that in most other assassins creeds too.
@@jcers imagine having to stretch your hand from B and Shift all the way to O lol
Anyway, I never really held the button in a fall. I would just tap it when I got close enough to the ledge. It's even more satisfying that way, because you kind of did something.
@@Mephilis78 I’m pretty sure you’re already aware of this, but if not, I was referring to the button inputs on different platforms, not saying that you needed to press all of those at once, haha.
For holding vs. tapping in the case of catch ledge, I feel that holding down a button to reach out your arms has always been more natural to me, but tapping at the last moment works just as well. Do whatever works for you.
@@jcers yeah I was joking about that first part.
This game is the Arkham Origins of the Assassin's Creed series, both underrated and misunderstood, but both fun and interesting to play.
Nabeel Akhtar agreed
Fun sometimes, but as interesting as a wank tissue

Origins is great.
So is unity.
But Origins > unity
''best story, best character''
Ok hold up a minute
Arno was bad. The story was bad. Bugs can be (and were) fixed, but there were deeper issues to this game than weird faces. It’s ok to like this game, just don’t fucking tell me that it has the best story or character of this or ANY generation. Especially after Assassins Creed Origins.
Ezio
Andy W first of all I also agreed ac unity in my opinnion is not the best one,for me is black flag,but there’s nothing wrong with someone having unity as their favorite,and they have so much more reason and moral than you have saying origins is the best one when that shit isn’t even an assasing game it’s a fucking rpg game,they shouldn’t have dome that to the series,this isn’t anymore a story about templars against assasins it’s a historical action game,that pisses me off.
Andy W origins is a good game but a bad assassin’s creed the same with odessy and probably with valhalla
@@andreww830 origins story sucked but Unity's story might have been worse. Really, imo the only game with a good story was ACII. Good storytelling in Ubisoft titles are the exception not the rule.

I platinumed it literally minutes ago and it's a 50/50 for me. It has a good story, loved Arno and the customisation was pretty good. However, I found myself frustrated by the parkour mechanics when escaping enemies and the framerate was god awful at times. Still, it doesn't deserve a massive amount of hate that it did at launch

It seems to me, there s a lot of hate towards AC games in general, even Odyssey, my personal favorite. I like unity and, as for the other AC titles, it wasnt perfect, still fun. However there s a huge gap between the reality and the trash many reviewers makes us to believe. Point #1 of extreme criticism: narrative: I am a picky reader and as such, there s no game with a good plot / lore, maybe I d exclude the witcher because there s some previous written storyline by an actual writer and I felt like the story and the world were already there,#2 repetetive gameplay - defenitly yes mostly in the first titles....I still have to play AC 3, but black flag, gameplay wise, my second favorite, is it still repetitive?, yes, when you end up playing hundreds of ours of a certain game of course it becomes repetitive but what makes us love Ac games is that they are relatively easy games, (but not for hardcore gamers for sure), educational, transport us in time like no other game, the settings are wonderfull and they put a lot of historic research into it , and #3 not fun....sorry but Red Dead redemption is triple A, super good looking, but I havent had any fun with it and I end up reselling it because it doesnt match my playstyle , the main reason? Too realistic.... At the end, in terms of pure game mechanics developing, Ac games are not a triple A, but still far from being trash. Most hate comes from the huge sucess of the Ac series, it happens all the time everywhere with everything in life... at the end of the day, we who love AC creed wont listen and I bet we will pick these games just to walk around and appreciate the sandboxes they created...it happens to me a lot of time at least :D
Same. I’ve had about 10 bugs, 2 major, across 10 playthroughs. Less than most games.
I've not played ACU yet, but I just love how it looks, a truly piece of art.
It truly is great!
You should play it has a good story, has the best parkour out of any other AC game and Arno’s personality is kind of like Ezio
@@Shark_King325 yes correct great personality. Far more better than Connor and Edward Kenways
DV_Covers cheap on the PS4 store fyi or in a gamestop
It's been a month did you play it?
Arno's just one of those characters that really deserves a sequel.
Edit: Just to be clear to some people still replying to this. I didn't say the other characters don't deserve sequels too. I said Arno is ONE of the characters that could deserve a sequel. The video is about unity so I mentioned Arno naturally. The other characters are great too. We all love Bayek and Connor etc.
I mean.... i really like the game it is my 2nd favourite ac creed game but i liked it because of the coop ,the customizable armor , the heist missions and the story. Arno was a good protagonist but not one deserving of a sequel considering bayek didn't get one either. Plus ubisoft already changed the mechanics to these new shitty warrior mechanics
Bayek deserves a sequel
Arno deserves a sequel along with connor and shay in it they could complete all these three's story arcs.
@@hmmmm9174 A AC crossover game kinda like how Ezio connected to Desmond maybe if those certain assassin's touch the apples of they're times and linked somehow.
Agreed. Arno's story just doesn't feel complete. From what I've heard, he spent more time helping Napoleon in some way and I'm curious about that. A lot happened surrounding Napoleon and it doesn't sound unlikely that Arno could have been involved on more than one occasion.
I still play the game tbh and I still have alot of fun and enjoy it. Regardless of the hate to ANY game, dont let it get you down in enjoying a game that YOU like. Have a good day! 👌🏼🙌🏼♥️
“Refreshing to see a main character who’s kind of a delinquent.” Don’t get me wrong, I like this video and I like Unity, but the character in the last game was a pirate who also wasn’t special and made huge mistakes. I get the comparison to Ezio but after Desmond kicked the bucket Ubisoft went down the path of characters who made mistakes/weren’t perfect etc until Origins when they decided to double down on the Isu part of the story and then Odyssey who’s main character went down a similar path as Ezio in terms of destiny and whatnot
And one other character also betrayed the brotherhood
Danijel Prosenik I cant believe I forgot about that 😅 also that further reinforced the Assassins making huge mistakes although I know we’re talking about protagonists here.
Arno's big thing for me is that his conflict was similar to Altair's, hell they're pretty similar now that I think about it.
They both feel sympathy for their targets, but unlike Altair's targets who believed they were doing good, Arno's targets saw themselves as a pawn for the greater good. The Templars and the assassins became two sides of a war as time went onward, unlike the first couple games where they were just good guy and bad guy.
Arno's character intrigued me because he had a deep emotional connection to a templar. Not just a romantic one, but a very deep and personal one. Arno was always doubting himself, going crazy while doing so. Only in the end he fully understands the assassin code.

I cannot disagree harder on the parkour. The older games prioritized your control over everything else. Unity has better animations, but it comes at the cost of having to learn hidden mechanics the game never tells you about, having controls that the game tells you incorrectly, and the game just refusing to work occasionally
AC2s parkour isn’t very sharp

@@ThatBoyAqua Thanks to you too man. I didn't watch the story bits so I could have a more fresh second playthrough, but nonetheless, what I watched was great.
“The best character.” ?
Let’s not get crazy.
Ezio was the best of all the characters.
So much so that they gave him three games to tell his story.
arbknight12 I mean come on my guy Edward from black flag was amazing
that was the old ubisoft, todays ubisoft is all about the division but in a different skin. because lets be honest. ac odyssee is NOT an assassins creed game. it is a good game, but it is defenity not AC. also it isnt about story telling anymore like it was in previous ac gaames, now its just about here grind your ass off to do this mission, now grind some more to do that other mission. well now i am a fucking god with superhuman powers OKAY. like do they even know what they made LOL
ezio is overrated cocky bitch :D
@@verbon47 Yesss, Ubisoft thinks The Division is a masterpiece, in fact, for me AC Odisy is The Division Spartan Edition
Is at the same level as Ezio. I love Arno because he felt the most human of all the assassins, always questioning the action of the Assassins brotherhood in Paris, the romance in the game, his actions and not following the rule of kill all the templars cuz they bad.
Imagine unity having 6 more months to finish the game. It would be perfect
What can make a game more perfect?
Well just play it 6 months after the release. They polished it and fixed all the bugs pretty quickly after release. You might need a good PC to play it but that's okay.
@@Jacobzx True, but I wish they spent a bit more time on polishing the story and character development. Those things, while decent in the game, could have been so much better imo
@@phisograph oh yeah, I see. That's probably true. I dont even remember the story very much so it couldn't have been too good.
@@Jacobzx no its not. This kind of mentality harms the gaming community. They released a unplayable game. I dont care if they fixed it after because they should have had it fixed before it release.
Will never get over how beautiful this game is. Every detail is perfection and I remember running around Paris simply sight-seeing and enjoying the views.
You can thanks to the fact that almost all lighting is baked

@@Benophobia Those too things are completely separate. When I heard compare AC 2 parkour to Unity, the eight game in the series, I felt like laughing. Of course it is better, they are 6 games, and 5 years apart. Comparing the parkour of these 2 games would be like just comparing their file sizes: "Hmmmm... Yeah Unity is cool and all, but hey Assassin's Creed II only takes 8GB compared to Unity's 50GB"
@@z_0968 I'm just saying I don't like arno his story had promise but overall Ezio although having more time to develop was better it's my opinion but still I've never liked Arno
@@Benophobia I know what you mean from the beginning of the game that I felt they were trying to make a new Ezio, but that's what made me hate Arno, he wasn't original just an attempt at an older character from more successful games.
Aqua: „Best Character“
Ezio: „Aight, Imma head out“
Really wouldn't be Ezio anyway, but I think he's much better than Arno is.

Edward: yes, you are
Darthironpotter
Jacob: „And The Rooks?“ 🤓
I think this game has one of the best characters in the series like Arno's master and the beggar king but this is definitely not the best story. It's actually a copy and paste of AC2. Ezio and Arno look very similar and even their story is similar as well. The protagonist looses their father and father like uncle by Templars. They then go for revenge mission. Then they watch their lover die infront of them. But still the game still had quite look enjoyable missions through.
I agree. I've always agreed. This game was "assassinated" by the press, and that was a damn shame
staalforsfh truly very true this statement here is what describes the situation at best
It was broken, full of stupid chests (and some required a stupid app) and the story sucked. It was criticised for obvious reasons.
The game is still the weakest of the series
No, it was not. Ubisoft made a shit game and It was easily, without a doubt, the WORST video game I’ve ever played on my 24 years of being alive
Jordan Justus please do explain why you think so
This game deserves more love especially for the parkour and world design
Ezio did have a legitimate love interest, her name was Cristina. Their whole struggled relationship story was in AC2 and continued in AC Brotherhood through specific missions
Seems nobody bothered playing those missions, which is a shame.
The short Christina missions in brotherhood were more heartbreaking than the entirety of Elise and Arno’s story
wasn’t she in revelations
Sophia His wife? The Sophia missions that were basically a love story including ezio’s courting and a date between them and the ending when they save each other
kayin williamson oh i must of gotten confused i thought she was christina.

Edward is probably my favorite AC character. I'm probably biased because he's a pirate and I love that whole era of piracy, but his motivations being more complicated is great.
Xd I agree with you man when he said arno best character he lost me but still watched the entire video btw if your interested in revisiting Edwards story I made a video of his arc 😉
Black Flag was my introduction to the franchise
Same
@@akatsukino660 It's just an opinion man, he liked the character mainly cause he felt human and he wasn't that special, also I respect your opinion, Edward is somewhat relateable.
If he thinks that Arno fucked up then he really forgot about the great errors of Edward, that guy's character psychology is in another level
I like Unity more than a lot of people but Arno is nowhere near the best character Assassin’s Creed has ever seen. Even if you just say protagonists he’s far from the best.
The thing that pisses me off was back when this was released, and the articles, journalists, and random internet person always referred to the same video and the same image of the missing face bug. Whenever anyone references the bugs in the game, I see that same picture. This says to me that one person found it early on, happened to be recording, uploaded it, and everyone ate it up. Imagine if that famous Red Dead Redemption glitch video of the Mountain Lion model-swapped with the woman happened, and then everyone decided to shit on the game for being full of bugs. Frankly, it was full of bugs, but also really fondly remembered.
I think that bug, and most of the ones people dealt with were prevalent on day one. This was the first AC game that I purchased on steam (having purchased a disc for the PS3/PS4 for all the previous games) I do remember the download taking a while because it was a 40 to 50 GB download. The game did allow you to play it before it finished downloading, which was where I encountered any of the bugs I've ever encountered in this game. I ended up setting the game aside for a week or something like that, and never saw another bug. It honestly drives me nuts, how many people say they don't like this game because they believe it's riddle with bugs. Meanwhile, they never gave it the time of day.
Look I like this game but it absolutely deserved to be shit on in the state it was intially released in. And Red Dead Redemption for all its minor bugs was still fully playable. Unity,for some,wasn't
@@kevinhoover6056 I guess you got lucky? I thought the game was shit because of the combat, but when I played it the combat wasn't that bad, also yeah I never found any bug of shorts, so I guess we both got lucky.
@@SuperMicklovin I guess you got unlucky man, well at least the game was playable.
@@thelonelyconner1908 Actually personally I wasn't affected all that much,game breaking wise. Several people were though.
Unity always makes me the most sad because, more than any other game in the franchise, it had so much potential that wasn’t quite reached. Ubisoft obviously didn’t give themselves enough time to put out a polished game upon release and that just hurt their image even more.
In terms of STORY, it wasn’t fully fleshed out and I felt it sort of wasted its intriguing setting. The Revolution was pushed aside a lot when including more aspects of it could have been more engaging. And they really didn’t make the most of the templar vs assassin conflict. Here you have a romance that could do so much to blur the lines between the enemies. Balec showed the ugly side of an assassin so consumed with the ancient conflict, EXPAND ON THAT. The Paris brotherhood were perfect to add a touch of grey to the supposed good guys. Show the Templars as more than evilly twirling their moustaches, they believe in control over freedom but this doesn’t make them inherently malicious. Why would the Templars be inciting the revolution further when they preach order over chaos? What if at first Robespierre was with the assassins, preaching for freedom from the monarchy, but then went too far to the point of tyranny. Demonstrate the issues with the assassin’s doctrine of freedom. COMPLICATE THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN THE ORDERS BECAUSE HISTORY IS NEVER THAT SIMPLE. Make both Elise and Arno question their allegiances and ideologies. Make the player do same. The foundation was there but they tragically never delved deeper.
sad? havent heard of yoko taro?
@@ahmadnajwan1846 I have not, you recommend?
But I meant sad as in "how upsetting that it can never reach its full potential" not "wow unity's story is so sad"
I love Unity bugginess and all on launch. Buy you nailed here. They had the plot points and story set up perfectly but it felt rushed or short. Its easily my favorite setting and character. While people may have loved black flag for the pirate aspect it was just that, a pirate game with the Assassin stuff thrown in at the end it felt like. Unity was a major change and it felt alive. The city ebbed and flowed at times and could make getting around on the street hard. Having spent some time in Paris years ago i loved getting see to the buildings and shops and talking with friends about what the shop was in 2005/06. The elise arno romance was well done but left you wanting more. It provided that gray area for both the Order and Brotherhood where individual ideals were warping the tenants of each. First playthru it really felt like a possible crossing over point for some memebers of both sides when they realize the other side is more right for them. Arno’s rise then fall and reacceptance into the brotherhood felt more like an actualy person who gets fried from their dream job and has to pull themselves thru the depression and despair to get back to where they want to be. Overall i just wanted more story from it and wish one day to get that
Matt Bryan Matt Bryan For sure, they were definitely on to something with Unity and it’s sad to see that Ubisoft just completely scrapped it instead of taking the time to improve upon the foundations they had now laid out (those bustling streets were definitely a highlight). I feel like the ideas surrounding Unity have pretty much been abandoned which is pretty disappointing. On the subject of Black flag: Though you’re right that the Assassin lore was a bit tacked on, Edward Kenway still had an amazing character arc which really elevated the game in my opinion. His story worked great with the idea of freedom and free will but also ultimately finding a balance where he took on more responsibility and came to realize the damage caused by his recklessness. When you look at it from that perspective, he still fits into the creed (at least thematically). But Unity and Arno definitely made the effort to form a better direct connection to the brotherhood and truthfully explore the nature of both the assassins and the Templars. *Sigh* it could have been fantastic.
Giovanna Acosta thats the thing i feel the worst about it that they had a chance to explore both templar and assassin ideals in a revolutionary era. With Rogue they set up the assassin to templar theme and sorta carried it over with Ballec in Unity. While im not exactly wishing Elise would have flipped sides i think she had the potential to do so. Her character was well done albeit a horrible ending i feel. Arno was setting up to clean house and reset the French order back to what it should be. It would have been a completely different dynamic for the series. It just had so much potential and got left aside
"Best character" now hold your horses and wait a gosh darn minute here..
RadTheLad even compared at one game, AC2 and ACU, Ezio is miles better. Ezio is by far the better character even without the extra two games.
RadTheLad the problem is that you don’t even need 3 games to be better. Arno just felt kinda like an off brand Ezio imo and his story wasn’t good. AC 3, 4 and origins had interesting main characters for just one game so idk what happened here with the story
Santino Apollonio Think the main reason to why he’s disliked more is becuase he’s not connected to Desmond like the others were
Yes I agree alexios is actually the best!!
@Bitch Pudding He was, but Connor was also kinda bland in the beginning, but the reason (at least for me) that people wanted to see where his character went was because he was directly tied to Desmond.
the amount of copium here aint now way you said unity had a good story also skyrim revoltionised gaming so ofc it would be that highly regarded. Bethesda games are always buggy . Ac unity was such a cash grab becaus unlike skyrim unity was unplayable at launch . Unity had the best parkour to this day it's one of the best in any game but the glitches were as bad as fallout 76 and that was hated as well a least compare two games with qual amount of bugs when comparing
"Arno messes up a lot". Yeah I did remember that time Arno purposefully burned a building while he himself is inside.

Ethan W Ezio Best Character but 2nd best and it had a top 3 Assassins Creed story Brotherhood being #1 Black flag being #2
@@goes2four82 I honestly didn't find Brotherhood's story nearly as interesting as AC2's. AC2 was a tragic coming-of-age story involving a quest for revenge and it was full of characters that had mysterious intentions until the end. Brotherhood felt very rushed imo but still very fun and a worthy sequel.
@@dr.yonkers5181 Nah Brotherhood's didn't feel that rushed to me lol. It was a perfect sequel to 2 and imo 2 was the game with a bunch of filler parts, like the thief missions in Venice and those terrible DLC sequences, that made the game more drawn out than it had to be. Brotherhood didn't really have that and so the pacing felt better(to me tho😃)
arno is the lamest character for me in ac, and story wasn't great either
Ezio is the best and has the best story period
Excuse me ? Ac unity and best story ? I don't see those terms being in the same book let alone the same page . It's just a simp simulator
Ezio's journey led him to his greatest love interest, Sofia. It's when he finally matured and grew out of that arrogance behavior that he once had when he was young.Won't knock on Arno, he's a great character but this video kinda just paints Ezio as if he's a one dimension "redeemed hero" archetype that did not have as much growth as Arno.
This. Ezio is the best protagonist in the franchise, Arno is great but not the best.
I think you messed uo the names in the end
Ezio also had 3 games to grow as a character. Arno had 1. I believe the point you’re referencing is where Aqua was talking about Ezio’s revenge arc from 2 as compared to Arno’s redemption arc. Aqua really was only talking about 2 in that instance, in which case I have to agree that Arno’s arc is better executed and more fleshed out (imo) than Ezio. But of course Ezio got a TON more development in the next two games, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare an arc in one game to an arc fleshed out through an entire trilogy.

Given that this was actually the first Assassin's Creed game I bought I love it. I really couldn't even see what was wrong with it. I actually really love the game
Yeah this game gets hate for no reason. I’ve played basically every AC game since inception and I still found the “annoyances” easy to overcome
I find it hilarious how everyone hates on ac games when they come out then fast forward to a few years or sometimes just one year and everyone is loving it and saying how underrated it was when they were the people who blindly hated it because some critic or youtuber said so
Super JLK doesn’t follow the lore give me one time it doesn’t follow the lore
Super JLK The leap of faith in odyssey has no meaning it’s just a way for quick traversal and not mentioned has anything other than that. Darius doesn’t act like an assassin he wants to stay hidden so saying in the shadows is an effective way to stay out of the orders sights he wears a hood for the same reason because it’s low profile same with the rest of his out. Ayas first civ would have been become weaker because of the mixing of blood between her parents and other family the. The hidden blade making its way to cleopatra is a mystery that can be explained in the future but I’m guessing he protected elpidios until his death until he either passed it on to him or became friends with higher ups who didn’t agree with the order like cleopatras family and it was stated in odyssey that the spear contained both dna of two similar people and siblings would be very similar in terms of dna so the animus used that dna but found two paths to follow so it simulated two people not knowing which was the true one
Super JLK also aya was never in direct contact with a first civ artifact and even kassandra had to actually touch an artifact to make it work such as the spear so maybe if aya has actually touched a artifact maybe it would have done something but her Isu dna would definitely be distorted
Super JLK but Desmond not only was in contact with isu artifacts himself but he also relieved the lives of people like Altair and ezio who also were and Desmond also got more dna through the bleeding affect so he had a lot of isu dna compared to aya
na, i just didnt like, they could had done better with such a moment as the french revolution, and the ending was pretty dumb. i also hated the "store" part of it, like whats even the point of letting you buy endgame gear on a single player game.

Exactly they were talking about how the parkour in the game was a big difference between ac 2 and ac unity but they completely skips the progress they made in the games before unity
If there really gonna be like that how bout we compare ac odyssey to unity bit unfair right? Exactly
The parkour and the combat from 2 all the way to Rogue hasn't changed much. It really doesn't matter if he compares them to AC2 or AC:Rogue as it's all basically the same. The engine, Anvil, didn't get it's largest update until AC:Unity. AnvilNext was an upgrade but it didn't upgrade in much of animations, and features. AC2 was a solid game, and it's fair to compare it to it.

People only hate this game because of the weird looking glitches. It wasn’t even that bad! Tbh all they need to make the series great again is to have Unity parkour mechanics and have online from the older games back.
Well the launch experience was pretty terrible. But these days it is pretty great.
The story could be completed in like 5 hours and the DLC's story is like an hour max. Such a lack of content for that game. They tried to replace actual content with running to every house and opening a chest for a few shekels. Was not the worst AC ive played but was not nearly the best.
The story is bad

I remember a couple years ago telling a few friends of mine that i really enjoyed being an assassin in unity finding different and unique ways to kill targets. Yet they laughed at me and spoke of black flag being the superior AC. I enjoyed black flag don't get me wrong! but i never knew why so many people hated unity! Especially when their newest game at the time was Origins which i just didn't enjoy at all (personal opinion)
Great Video!
@Messages In a bottle Exactly the same lol 😂
Syndicate expanded on this unique kill opportunities some more. I loved Black Flag, but Unity is class of greatness all on its own in my opinion. The story and the characters are genuis and I loved it for everything that it was in 2014.
@@xerxesmontes9828 couldn't agree more. I hate to say it but I'm really not enjoying the direction that assassins creed is going in. Yet if people like it then sure why not
@@Fab-tx9hz I'm enjoying playing Oddysey a lot this quarantine. I got into AC games due to the stealth aspect, so even though the direction may not be the same, we can look at past games and enjoy them while looking forward to the future. I mean, all this world and life is, IS change, so why hold grudges to the future instead of being happy that these games exist.
@@xerxesmontes9828 I loved how you put it. Your absolutely right! I'm thinking of getting the new one once it gets released to give it another go. (And I have a thing for vikings) 😂

I despised Unity when it came out and now I realise how fucking manipulated I was by the media, Unity was actually good and I miss its mechanics and I think Arno could have been AC's new Ezio if they spent more time on him
"The best story."
Lol.
"The best character."
LMFAO!!!
Whatever you're smoking is DANK.
Yea everyone know the best story and the best character is in the ac 4
kofi obzon oof wouldn’t know got bored of it way to fast to ever finish
Breakaway 70
yeah I got stuck on that mission where you have to guide the ship through an area without being seen
@@breakaway7017 lets be honest ezio is the best he made ac
Tbh the way he describes it makes me want to actually get the game now
I’m glad I liked this game when It came out and I’m glad I still like it to this day I hope Ubisoft comes back to this type of assassins creed game.
Same.
I'll say this, I can see why people hate it. But I love this game 100%.
Yea but ubisoft is going in a witcher wannabe direction
@@gjumper9871 And they are doing great like that. I would honestly love it if they made games with both types of gameplay.
@@86Fallowcp Yea they could. They could branch of the ac series into an rpg(before the creed and using the pieces of eden) And with the creed
"...the best character.." HOLD UP! Ezio's the best character, Edward comes a second.
No love for my boy Connor from AC3?
@@PrestonCormack He comes 3rd. Ezio first, Edward second and Connor third.
Ezio, Edward, bayek then maybe Connor
@@FuckdasketsHOPassass Actually thinking back to Revelations third best is Altair, character wise.
@@febreeziTV Yes because he is pretty forgettable.
One thing I don’t see a lot of people mention is the design of the side outfits. Every legacy outfit looks stunning, I swear, this game makes every outfit look even better than in their own games.
I remember talking to a friend of mine at school about how great this game was a week after launch, I had already finished about 50% of the game and really wanted friends to get it for the coop missions. Then some random student walks up and tells me I was an idiot for buying it because it was horrible. I later find out this guy had never played it or seen any gameplay, just heard it was full of bugs.
TheEmuLordV yikes
There is bug but ( most of the time was levitation and stock ai) but didnt remember my experience was broken for that.
This game could’ve been one of the best games ever the only thing it lacked in my view was the story and the MC otherwise the interaction points for each assassination the phantom blade the sneak everything was on point I know I will get a lot of hate for what I will type next but in comparison of mechanics this game really did surpass any previous assassins creed games
@@ahmedsachwani2868 unity had arguably the most boring story in any ac game , you're right about the free roam mechanics though they were great.
Wauney I didn’t like the combat but I can live with it the story was meh but even if the story is lacking it can be carried by how greats the protagonist is in unity’s case Arno was well just very VERY lacking
I think you made your argument invalid when you said "has one of the best stories"---because it most certainly has one of the worst. I've put a few hundred hours into it because of the multiplayer, and it is most certainly fun in that regard, but the story has always sucked ass. It is one of the worst games for a good reason. It's buggy, rushed, rubbish story, bad characters, and doesn't change much at all with the basic gameplay. It simply partially polished what was already there, but at an expense of the actual scripting itself.
33 minute video of argument made vs. one comment with like 4 sentences. Who wins?
LoliPoppin personally I really enjoyed the story of ACU, it was a different approach bringing in someone who was not already apart of the order and building them into it. Pretty much all the older assassins aside from Edward Kenway had some kind of connection to the order. Also I think Arno is a great character because of his depth as Aqua pointed out, he’s flawed, like all of us are, of the older assassins the only one I can think of that was somewhat flawed is Connor, and I’m not really the biggest fan of Connor. But the main part of the story that really gets me in Unity is that it’s not predictable and it hits hard by the end, Arno’s mentor and friend betrays him and then the love of his life is killed leaving him with no one as he has already been exiled from the order.
And I have no idea how you can say Unity has basic gameplay??!! It probably has the best gameplay to date, with by far the best free running, and a lot of options when it came to approaching combat encounters, remember Unity was the first game that actually added a crouch. 6 fucking games about being a stealthy assassin and this was the first one that actually made you feel stealthy. Also Unity still has the best graphics, because they downgraded because of the frame rate issues. Of my three playthroughs of the game on PS4, the frame rate was the only issue that popped up multiple times, aside from that I think I had some minor animation bugs and one hilarious bug where Arno randomly fell through a wall.
@@lance7909 I liked unity, but for some reason my favorite AC game will always be black flag even though you're more of a pirate than anything
Ol Karma dude I agree, Blackflag is still my fav AC game. I just love Edward Kenway and all the other characters you meet like Blackbeard and Anne Bonnie, and that scene at the end hit my hard asf.
What I loved most about this game was that the character looked leaner than in all the other games. Arno looked leaner and more agile than all the other (male) Assassins. And I think that look is more fitting to an Assassin. You look more agile, more deadly but also more vulnerable. Also his robes and general gear looked amazing and better than the following games.
I also loved the athomsphere and the map of this game. The feel of the revolution was carried out greatly and Paris itself contributed a great share to it. I think this was the best map for an Assassin's Creed. It only featured one city but this city was huge. There was a lot to explore both horizontally and vertically. London from AC Syndicate was also a cool city but the whole city and graphics felt to grey-ish to me. I prefer Paris for that reason.
Last but not least I also liked the colors of this game. I believe Unity featured the best color set in the series. It outclassed all the ACs before concerning graphics and color setting. Syndicate had the same colors but looked too grey-ish in my opinion. Origin just didn't have enough environmental and color variety to satisfy me, it felt like the main color of that game was sand. Odyssey is coming the closest and boy it was beautiful but for me it was a little too colorful, the color set was too much based on "nature colors". I just prefer the style of Unity in that aspect.
I'm interested in what all of you got to say about my ideas. I would love to hear your opinions
Totally agree, the map in syndicate was cool but in some places lacked originality. Nothing gripped you or interested you when you were running through it but unity has a completely different feel, each building feels as though it was designed separately from others and are unique and interesting
Also have the best outfits in general imo. My favorite is the raider outfit because it makes sense to me that you can blend in the crowd with it, you're just a poor schmuck to people's eyes with your dirty shirt and whatnot.
Ah, yes. Angry Joe.
Always a good example for idiotic gamer culture, regress and the inability to grow outside of catering to his audience of 9 year olds and sad guys in their late 30s stuck as eternal manchildren.
Unity is the most refined version on of the old Assassin's Creed formula and it's a shame that it never got the credit it deserved. Fun fact when Maximilien Robespierre was taken to his execution the executioner ripped off the bandages covering his gunshot wound and his jaw came off with the bandages.
Indeed. OG fans were yearning for a return to AC1 principles in the sense of having to prepare your elimination, strategizing, multiple paths... And Unity's black boxes system was an honest attempt at that. Too bad the receipt of the game deterred Ubisoft to pursue on this path. I know a lot of people like it but the action-rpg style of Origins and others doesn't fit AC to me.
I could have gone my whole life without knowing that thing about Robespierre, yet here we are
Maybe in terms of gameplays mechanics, but story wise and under-utilised setting that had such potential ruins it
@@FuckdasketsHOPassass I agree, that's why I believe they should have built on it as a base instead of throwing the baby with the bath water and going the rpg route.
playing unity makes me feels like im playing ac 2 its really identical
I miss the old AC's.. I hope they make a "oldschool" typed of AC
Greetings from Germany, nice video and keep it up bro. Hope you gonna get rich with your quality content
I thought that im the only one who didn't enjoy the new ac's
There are quite a few of us out there who recognize AC's golden age for what it is. ^__^

@@fabianfomicev danke bro hahah
I literally encountered 2 bugs my entire play through and didn't care. I played for about 150 hours, I really don't know what was wrong with this game I enjoyed it plus it was free.
Me too bro... but i play in 2018 and you?
@@cleoneto5527 Yeah i didn't play when it came out i played in 2019 so im sure a lot of bad bugs were removed
@@swift4527 i think this game was really ahead of its time... the amount of npcs was so massive for 2014 kkkkkk.. make the hardwares cry kkkk
Swift Most of the problems came from the game being released unfinished. Faces disappearing, randomly falling through the floor, buttons not working, frame rate dropping to SINGEL DIGITS and many many more were issues at launch. I’m glad it’s much more stable now, but considering Ubisoft saw fit to release it like that, then lied and said that the single digit frame rate was INTENTIONAL to make it “more cinematic” had people enraged
How to spot a normie gamer:
“Ehhhh AC Unity buggy ehh so bad”
Real gamers shit on the whole franchise.
Playing odyssey right now and love it! But so far Unity still feels the most “special”. Beautiful game
