What is your favourite AC Game?? 👀
Unity/black flag
Odyssey and Orgins
@@osbrax Black Flag / Unity / Origins
Overall, Unity. I love rogue for the fact that not only do you get a ton of weapons, but the extra challenge of being hunted by assassins both in free-roam and the story makes it so fun.
Black flag
This game is still unmatched with all the NPC's it has. Love it.
unity feels newer than mirage
10 years ago, developers cared more about quality over fidelity.
AC UNITY was a masterpiece when I played it back in 2020 and I still sing its praises to this day as the best of the 'classic' AC series before they became RPGs. I know that the game's failures were due to a lot of AC fans (including critics and reviewers) bemoaning its incredibly buggy state at launch and its failure to deliver on some very optimistic feature promises, the fact that everyone was exhausted with classic AC's repetitive gameplay loop and the fact that the game didn't run decently and properly on any platform except the most high-spec'ed PCs of the time...but by 2020 nearly all of those issues had been addressed and when I played it, it was a mindblowing experience. But here's something that I think encapsulates why AC UNITY is the last good game of the classic series and also why the design ethos behind AC is why ORIGINS is the only truly decent AC RPG game as well - both games are 'hand-built'. AC UNITY's depiction of Revolutionary Paris is probably the series most deeply and accurately researched setting they've ever made. Having been to Paris and been a student of history, architecture and art history, I can say that the amount of detail and effort the team put into creating Paris of that era has NEVER BEEN SEEN SINCE in an AC game (with the possibly exception of ORIGINS). And you can tell, based on later entries in the series, that Paris in AC UNITY was built by hand, not procedurally generated. The whole city was built on maps from the era, many of the major locations and streets where built using paintings from the era, and the whole game's design ethos, art direction and aesthetic is accurate to French culture, French history, French architecture, French fashion and French aesthetic preferences. Which isn't surprising given Ubisoft's French influences as a corporation, naturally they wanted to do their own culture 'right' and they knocked it out of the park. The hand-crafted, built from scratch, aspect of UNITY is why the parkour is so good, the animations are so seamless, the combat is so smooth and perfect and fun. It's a process of refinement driven by a desire to make something 'the best it could be' for - what arguably must have been - their greatest AC title they were ever likely going to make in a long time. The game's crowd simulation is also jaw-dropping and actually makes the stealth - finally, after all these years - feel powerful and realistic. And yes - you are correct - no AC game since Unity has attempted this kind of crowd simulation. AC SYNDICATE's London was a ghost town, when in reality it should have been TRIPLE the amount of NPCs you see in UNITY. They seemed to have made a half-assed attempt at some crowd density in ORIGINS, but you see that by the time you get to ODYSSEY they dialed it back and when you get to VALHALLA the population of the entirety of England seems to be around 1,000 people. The tiny pathetic crowds in AC games, post UNITY, are the most immersion breaking aspect for me and it SUCKS HARD because the maps keep getting bigger and bigger and they're full of fewer and fewer people and creatures. Story - sure, I reckon that's very subjective. I know some people didn't like the characters. I personally did, but I can't argue that they're objectively great or anything. And UNITY - for me - does fumbled where the RPG games didn't: they put you in the middle of history, but if you don't know the history of the setting then all these ultra-famous figures are just meaningless NPC's. The story of UNITY doesn't do enough, sadly, to really convey the genuinely amazing and terrifying story of the French Revolution which actually would give your missions HUGE consequences historically and profound meaning. I think it drops the ball there - AC fans and gamers were very ready for the Discovery Tour version of AC; but Ubisoft didn't figure that one out for two more games. I would love to see an AC UNITY remaster or even a Discovery Tour of the game because I think it would just round out the whole experience and make AC UNITY that rarest of things: a peak perfection moment of the video game artform; something that will never really age because everything is so carefully hand-crafted, hand-built and refined from a place of genuine passion and love. I mean, shit, when Notre Dame burnt down, they got the lady who built the AC UNITY version of the cathedral to help in its reconstruction. By contrast, SYNDICATE is the perfect example of a game that isn't hand-built and is emblematic of a company's "path of least resistance" in game design (that you see slowly infect ODYSSEY and completely destroy VALHALLA). We know more about 19th Century London than just about any historical city from that period in time. But SYNDICATE's 19th Century London is procedurally generated - it doesn't match ANY known map of the city, the different regions all have similar architecture, there's only about 3 dozen types of buildings and a handful of building textures repeated ad-nauseum (to the point where you actually find identical houses side by side in places). The city is a ghost town, none of the NPCs do any interested animations or interactions, hell characters in the game don't even remove their hats when they go indoors which is a major no-no in the time period. Because the city wasn't designed by hand, it was all procedurally generated and then tweaked where it needed to be in order to fit missions. The game is ugly, it feels like you're playing a game instead of time-travelling to a real place filled with real people, shit they didn't even design the rooftops in such a way that you could parkour properly -- a problem that UNITY saw and overcame by building the rooftops by hand. UNITY and ORIGINS are reflections of a super-ambitious, hand-crafted, history-first, immersion-first, approach to game design that is clearly hard, expensive and time-consuming and something that Ubisoft immediately course-corrects by the next game through automation and doing things half-assed.
"a student of history" who actually believes Ubisoft helped Notre Dame reconstruction. This is a silly myth.
Brother…. How much time did it take to write this ??
Imo, Unity is the best AC game, the best animations, combat, stealth kills, etc
AC unity was hands down a great game even though i came late into the game when i got an xbox one and was blown away by what i saw. The city, the graphics, the parkour, the stealth was next level it was fun going around using the disguise ability in restricted areas to get close to someone or plan out attacks. Some might not agree but i thought the ai was more aware in this game then any other AC game, the way bandits would talk shit to you in public if they spot you made it a good excuse to blend in with the crowd like a true assassin and the Napoleon soldiers would react to you if you were doing something you're not suppose to and come towards you issuing a warning (most of the time in certain games they'd either ignore you or full on kill ya)
I can 100% agree with that. I noticed right away how much harder the stealth was when playing this.
It's good you did as it was polished from bugs.
very impressive shots of living open world from 3:00 gonna show my buddies...
This game is a masterpiece, the most beautiful assassins creed in every aspect, im close to platinum it because im addicted to this game. I've played all the assassins creed games, but this is my favourite one, and Assassins creed II, Black Flag and Origins in the second place. Great video, I agree with you in all. Let's hope Assassins Creed Red (Japan) will be on another level and a truly next gen game🌠🎮💪
Yes you should play Assassin's creed unity even in 2050
Hell yeah
I can't agree more brother, I will keep on playing Assassin's Creed Unity. The parkour, The graphic, The story is too good.
But what to do about the fps lock on 30.. I rly want to play the game on 60 fps but no solution
I just started getting into AC and I chose unity as my first game, best decision I’ve ever made coz I love this game so much. I did try origins before starting unity but I didn’t get past the prologue coz it wasn’t what I expected from AC (still a good rpg game if you’re looking for those). Rn I’m playing through Mirage and I’m enjoying it but not as much as I did Unity.
That’s great to see!
Плохое решение начать с юнити, так как после него остальные части покажутся дерьмом
2014 was a weird year for new games in general, but for many people it had a lot of bugs, but none that really bothered me. They fixed a lot of the bugs so the game has become a lot better, but back then it might have been too late and people had kinda given up on it. For me unity is the best game to roam and run around in. It has the best city landscape, there's a lot of life in it (npc activities, origins and especially oddesy feel dead in comparison) and I enjoy the side quests (especially the murder mysteries and the puzzles). Since I've started replaying the game I have also appreciated and enjoyed the main story, which I didn't really try to understand the first time I played it, but back then I didn't find the villains to be especially memorable. (I never played the co-op quests much because I play on ps4, so I don't have much opinion on those), People also like to complain that Arno was supposed to be the "next ezio", which I don't really think applies. Ezio is almost the perfect character, and his mistakes never have consequences, and if they do, someone else seems to be at fault. Arno has very many flaws; brash, a little arrogant, puts his personal mission over that of the brotherhood, and his actions get him expelled from the brotherhood. After the main game he kinda becomes a grumpy, lone wolf. He is his own character. I think many peoples dislike of him is because they wanted another ezio, but he didn't become the next ezio in spite of them having similarities in their origin. All in all it's actually my favourite ac game to play, especially now since they fixed the bugs. Because of the bad press back in 2014 its probably the most underrated game in the entire series.
I just downloaded it after playing mirage and valhalla over again. It feels really nostalgic tbh reminds me of good childhood memories
I've been an AC fan since day 1... unity continues that feeling and movement evolution from the orginal ACs for sure... plus its stunning! I'm also a major nerd of the french revolutionary history. This game was prefection to me.
I just recently revisited these games. Blackflag was amazing Valhalla was good but different and im downloading Unity now so hope its good.
How you ljke unity i got sll the ac games and unity is perfect for me the best for me lol
I just finished black flag yesterday so unity is currently installing now lol
@@SaggyWattlesame lol! I bought an xboxx one and the old owner got AC blackflag, AC unity and im installing rn
@@Final_SC I finished unity a few weeks ago and preferred it even more than BF. Even though the story wasn’t as good (still a great story tho imo) it’s gameplay is 10x better. Ac has always been the type of game where I listen to music while playing so all the dialogue and stuff I miss anyways. Hope you enjoy it
@@SaggyWattle I'm excited to play unity after black flag, black flag was so fun, i i spent like 5 hours grinding for rum and sugar and metal
I got loads of games from my best friend and unity was one of them. Never played it and I haven’t played an AC game in years so I guess it’s time to give this one a go
I kust started playing this yesterday for the first time wtf! My favs were the ezio games but im already loving the parkour in this game
Great to see! 😲
Unity was one of the first game which got released with bugs, and I mean huge ones. Nowadays we got used to it and don't hold so much grunge over bugs (as long as they get fixed), but for some reason Unity still get a bad rep because of that. Maybe because it was the first AAA game like that? Now, the developers really tried to push the engine to the limit with the number of NPCs and it is the reason why they can suddenly appear and disappear in the screen, but that's such a minor flaw when comparing to the legions of little details included in the game. The dialogues were crafted so that you can stay near two speaking NPC and follow the conversation. The conversation will loop but each response is a natural answer of the previous one. For the first time, everything was to scale and so Arno can enter any open building without the need of a transition screen. That renders the parkour much more interesting. Every corner, rooms..etc is filled up with people doing something, it is such full of life. Graphics are amazing: textures feels real, the streets are crooked, Paris alternates rich city houses in this sparkling rococo style with muddy wooden barracks. The costumes are very rich. In addition to points made in this video, the stealth in this game is also incredible once you properly gear up and learn how to use darts, smoke bombs and crackers. The attempt of multiplayer mission was a nice idea, perhaps needing a bit more work. The only real beef I have with it is that the menu was clearly not finished. You cannot start several session, you have to delete all to replay the game, and once you started your session, the only way out is to stop the application. You cannot go back to the main menu. At the end of the day, this is what one would ask of an AC game: entertaining parkour, satisfying combat mechanics, a working stealth, the correct amount of gear and collectables (those RPG ones are good games, but way too much equipment to collect and craft), a storyline with a real interaction with the creed, historical monuments to explore, a few riddles in addition to assassinations. It got all of those points right. It is, I find, the most fluid and enjoyable one of the series.
Unity was seriously overlooked when it came out.
Did you not see how bad it was when it came out? It needed a 40gb patch just for bugs
Chaaracter models didn’t even have skin on their faces when it came out. It was like playing a game on a bad acid trip.
The game was unplayable, It had breaking bugs everywhere, crashed a lot and took months until It was In a playable state. Were It not for that, people would take about this one a lot more fondly.
LOL these fakes exposing themselves. It wasn't overlooked. It was a buggy and an unplayable mess. You would know if you were there.
@@shiweolshibiexactly not to mention the mediocre story it has
This game is criminally under rated.i felt like I was the only one at launch that loved it and to this day the game holds up real well. This is probably the best game in the series but people will over look it because the game had tech issues at launch but go back and play it today and you will love everything about this game it's incredible
I love unity, maybe doesn't have the best history but gameplay, graphics, and co-op it's just peak in the franchise
AC Unity is the best game in the franchise. Prove me wrong
I def had a lot more fun in the gameplay of ac but i still gotta give it to black flag just cause i loved sailing in the open world and its story
Best animations and personally combat. Edit: and assassinations. Arno’s cold with it
I agree it has the best combat but animations peaked with AC3@magilas8485
Black Flag and AC2 was more entertaining.
Fuck no it's not. Lmaoooo
This is my favorite AC game even when I played and got the platinum in 2014 I didn’t have game breaking issues like the reviews made it out to be going to redownload it and replay it in my PS5
Just found this channel today and you sir have earned a sub. Keep it up man I love these videos 🤙
Thank you man, means a lot!
I didn't finish this game, will try to play Unity again, hoping that my saved game from the cloud is still there.
Can you Platinum this game by doing coop missiom solo still ?
Initially it suffered from bugs but what I like is you can play coop with your friends
It's such a shame we shat on it when it came out. Sure it had its graphic glitches, but it really pushed the tech at the time.
This graphic in 2014 was crazy 🔥😍
How do I unlock the co op mission the tournament?
This guy is now my favourite ac content creator ❤
Appreciate that!
Cheers @L321 I've just reinstalled this on my Series X! Just a separate question, do you buy your games physically or digitally? And is there a new setup video coming soon?? Have a great day!
Thanks man! I mostly buy them digitally now, only because I’m too lazy to wait for the delivery of a physical game. I normally use CDKeys. Yes I have a gaming setup short or video in the pipeline. Stay tuned and thanks for your support!
Are the servers still active???? I maxed out this game when it game out 😂😂 wouldn’t mind coming back
waiting for the next steam sale to see if i can get my friends to get it, last spring sale, we all got watch dogs legion, been a blast to play through the co-op content but it doesnt really beat unity's combat and parkour
Buy it on cdkeys
I think the same think, its an awesome game, i stopped playing the games at 3 and picked it up at unity, best decision ever.
Is this on series x
I’m playing unity in my ps5 and gosh it always delays the moments
Fr this is a good game rn im playin it im at sequence 8-9
Awesome man!
@@L321 Thanks❤ Also do u know the best gear for best damage and health?
@@SHXDOW_YT0799go for the drip brother!
Just finished this game. I wished I saved my helix and money for buying and upgrading the best gears and not wasting them initially. Those Cafe mission is a must for income generation. Playing with subpar gear is challenging and fun, but I loved power fantasy.
I love the combat in this game the most, after they started to make it more cartoony, i loved the realism and grittiness in this games combat
How does it play on ps5 on ps plus? Does it hold up? Is it filled with bugs like in ps4. I remember this game bring a mess with tons of glitches and frame drops.
Bugs on PS4? Dam I'm currently downloading it now
Is there anyway to still play with friends??
I agree with all you mentioned, Unity is by far my favorite AC game with Origins and Revelations.
👌🏻👌🏻
I loved this game at release. I was one of the rare few that didn't experience any bugs or glitches. Idk why but I didn't.
Syndicate was my favorite parokour only because of the animations
And AC is good in 2024 on basic ps4? Has got this game good graphics on ps4?
Soo good. playing daily.
I remember that game
Another point, lighting and ambiance in AC Unit just feels real till today. Absolutely immersive. But if you see lighting in Mirage, it doesn't look real at all, feels artificial. And once you go inside palaces in Unity, man even after 10 years you will be immersed in to that world, insane detailing and real lighting. I dont know why Ubisoft havent recreated such graphics, detailing and lighting.
I wish It worked on PS4/Xbox one. Which was it's Base game.
It's the Best Game of ac i need a remastered
Playing it right now
How can I cap my FPS on pc ?
Unity REALLY needs to implement these same parkour, combat, and feels into their newer games. I felt very let down the first time i played odyssey, valhalla, ect. It's like it took all their energy to make this master piece and I have a feeling its gonna take a very long time to charge back up😂
Whelp, good or bad, its only $7 on steam as of 03/20/24
I was so excited when Unity came out, and the graphics and the parkour are absolutely astounding still, and I loved how so many buildings were open to exploration. Arno was thoroughly unlikeable though, and all the microtransactions cluttering the map were annoying. Couldn’t be bothered to finish the game.
I agree with the opening statement. AC Unity was plagued by bad reviews when it came out due to some bugginess however I never had a major glitch. The gameplay, environment, graphics, music, story, characters is incredible. The AC games thst followed were dumbed down after Unity. I live this game
100%
Man theres so many things u can do in the game that folks don't know.... Every weapon on the game has its own animations... In wen u go to yo crib u can actually stand by the fireplace n warm up n u can watch the theater 🎭 n drink coffee ☕....n more
Which game release for older consoles unity or rogue? And which i should play first
There Both underrated games also rogue, see rogue more as an dlc game for ac3 and ac unity, but play unity first, bc there is a plot twist in rogue that becomes more surprising if u play unity first.
so don't have high expectations for rogue bc its an underrated story
but i think its good
@@Bigfootzm so you say play Unity first then play Rogue as a mostly like a AC4BF DLC.
@@Bigfootzm but here is a thing , rogue is in story order previous of unity, and i think it has older graphics, i think i should play rogue first after a finished ac4 then i play unity( i think i will love it more).
I played each different AC game but ACU stands out for me due to the point that it's actually my first AC game. I'm not saying ACU wins but I'm saying that ACU is like a hybrid between AC1 and AC2 which is so amazing!! Especially with the mods!!
I deffo need to try some mods
@@L321 Get Both ACUfixes, Outfit legacy collection in the Nexus mods. Fearless ACU Cheat Engine (Both ACUfixes and Cheat Engine can work well together just that only GodMode and Invisibility will be disabled on ACUfixes but that one will be available to use at Cheat Engine 👍).
The issue was that it was crazy buggy at launch to the point people hated the game. By the time patches came out for it, it was no longer a “new” game. I played it when the patches already came out so I enjoyed it a lot. If Ubisoft took a couple extra months it would have been a commercial hit.
10yrs later and my pc still can’t handle this game even with rtx 3060
Hi..how is the performance on ps5? Cheers..
Not actually sure tbh, I was playing on PC
It’s good
My favorite game
AC Unity is a decade old and still in my opinion is the best AC Game TO EXIST
One of the best games ever. The biggest complaint I had and still have after the updates and patches, is the AI can be a bit goofy and wonky at times. Also, the story isn't bad by any means, but I think it left a lot to be desired. I wanted more Revolution and less Arno and Elise.
Still waiting for the ps5 remaster
Being as I’m old as dirt, my fondest memories are of AC2 and Brotherhood. Unity is definitely the last gem in the crown that was the classic AC games for me for sure though. I’ve played every entry but Unity was the last one I actually finished. The more recent open world action rpg games are just too bloated for my liking and I lose interest part way through. The best of them for me was Odyssey just because I loved the setting and time period. Would love to see a 60fps patch for Unity, I’d dive back in for sure!
One of the most sick looking game even to this date 🔥
Deffo
The setting place is just crowded.
THE PARKOUR OF THIS GAME KEPT TAKING ME TO OTHER PLACES OTHER THEN WHERE I WANTED TO GO.
This is the only ac game i never played is it worth trying 10 years later?
This game desparately needs a remaster on console. Just bump up the res and framerate a little and that’s it. Otherwise it still holds up extremely well.
The reason that parkour was such a big thing in this game was because the French were who started off “parkour” as we know it, so Ubisoft showed respect to that in this game but I do agree they should have given us this parkour but even more improved in the new games
Unity is the best ever 10 years later and still kick ass no pun in tendered.
it's so good. I love it
Me too man!
been saying this for years ubisoft has some of the best environments ever created only downfall they usually are to ahead its to its time, once everyone returns with far better tech and truly play how their game it was truly envisioned to be... even replaying all the ac games with an oled and properly calibrated hdr display really brings the game to a whole other level
This IS the best AC game. Bugs aside, it's a perfect AC for me.
This one and it has coop as well
Yes!
Playing Mirage on my Xbox and love it. Never finished Unity because it's in my ps4 and it thinks it's a fighter jet plane ready to take off. I could get it fixed for 50 bucks or buy unity for 30 on xbox 😂 thoughts? 😅 I think I know what you will say.
just bought it for £1.29, amazing game with 10/10 graphics
interestingly enough I bought this game for 1$, and I Loved it every minute I played, After watching this video I consider to play it one more, again
That’s awesome!
My first video is also about Ubisoft. Look and rate so I know what to fix.
Unity was peak, it’s unfortunate that it got a bad rep for awhile. Glad it’s getting attention again.
The only thing i do in mirage is Pickpocketing
This is my favourite AC game....and playing it in 2024 reinforced it. ;)
This game is on CD Keys £1.29 right now 😮😮
No way!
@@L321 That’s what I thought no way and have a look mate some great deals on there 💪💪
Best AC game in my opinion, Napoleon is amazing too
I think it mostly boiled down to bad performance, like many new games today, AC Unity ran terrible on even decent hardware of the time, but now that most ppl have the equipment to run it properly, it can fully be appreciated, because yea this is truly one of the most impressive AC’s with the best parkour hands down. Devs really need to stop pushing their games to the limits of current hardware, it just doesn’t benefit them or the players.
The only AC games I ever bothered to purchase were black flag and origins. The next on my list, and soon to be experienced will by unity. It'll be my bday gift to myself. I looked up some other unity review vids about a year ago and ultimately, they all fell on the side of it being not really worth the purchase. I felt wrong then and now I'm confident, I really excited to experience the city because it just looks so beautiful.
To your final question, the game was riddled with bugs and no hardware in 2014 could properly run it. I skipped over it for these reasons but am no mulling over picking it up now that a decades worth of hardware evolution means its technical issues can be brute forced into irrelevance.
stealth is also the best imo.
1:43 🤣
😂
This is the direction they should have taken for the rest of the franchise
The finishers in Unity good but black flag and 3 have better combat overall
It was received poorly at first due to a myriad of bugs. Most of them got patched and I had no issue playing the game in 2016-2018. But it's precisely because people beat the game to death with negative publicity and only started to value it many years later will we never get anything like it again, the same can be said of other gems like for example the dredd movie.
This looks far more appealing than mirage. Can't play mirage without having to look at YT on how to do certain missions. Quite silly and I haven't played it in months. Remembering the good old days of AC.
Even the graphics look very good for its age in Unity.
I just replayed it on pc. Best ac ever. Even though the story is kinda trash,the gampleay and the scenery makes it the best game of the series. Also considering this game came out in 2014,the graphics are gorgeous
You know it a fantastic game in my opinion I always put black flag at my number 1 now it's my number 2 unity to the number 1 spot on my list
Cudve been the best if it didnt keep bugging out even now
