What was the best city?
>>729446080havannabite me romeniggers
I like Constantinople but I'm biased because I like revelationsUnity (+the parkour system) mayhaps?
Acre
>>729446080Japan
>>729446234WE
>>729446080Paris paired with improved parkour introduced in that game. I wish the game did more with multiple epochs it explored, though.
I always liked traversing Venice
The one with the best parkour, of course
>>729446080Unity is the only correct answereven though im an AC2 fanUnity has by far the best city + parkour
>>729446080sadly nothing from modern titles
>>729446165Based and correct.
>>729446394all games after unity were shit
Was pic related as bad as the other modern AssCreeds?Im curious about it since they marketed it more as a smaller and more focused stealth game instead of a generic action adventure pseudo RPG
>>729446080what is the current AC series tier list
>>729446410Problem with Mirage is it was built on Valhalla's bones. It was otherwise a return to pre-Origins formula.
>>729446410heard it was shit relative to the old games as wellthe only good nu asscreed was origins, and even then only in certain areas because it was still worse in many aspects compared to previous titles
>>729446080Damascus, my beloved.
>>729446410It’s honestly not bad compared to the rest of the fucking Witcher clones they’ve been shitting out, but the combat is genuine dogshit. The parkour, stealth systems and assassinations are decent and a step back in the right direction, but they could and should of course be better. Not bad to pick up on a sale and the free Valley Of Memories update they added has a better story than the main game. I do fucking hate the whole gay ass Odin/Loki corny shit vehemently.
>>729446461>built on Valhalla's bonesfuck offffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
>>729446406we're talking about cities here, but gear brings down all new titles. it's just a huge time sink.
>>729446574That’s honestly the worst part about the game lol it’s better than Valhalla but not worth full price by any means.
>>729446410I just cant with the bullshit lore they've started doing since black flag>bro there's thousands of years old people living amongst usAC still is my favorite franchise of all time, but the last game im willing to touch was Unity because it was still kinda groundedthe whole bullshit that started with Origins and onward is just too much for me
>>729446080Acre, and it’s not even a contest.Florence was good too though.
>>729446594Protip: unlock two gear loadouts so you're not just selling 90% of shit you find. Cover all three bases with bonuses and just switch between them. At least keep a dedicated Assassin one.
>>729446678>I just cant with the bullshit lore they've started doing since black flag>>bro there's thousands of years old people living amongst usis that in reference to the reincarnation shit or something else i didnt catch
>>729446826>At least keep a dedicated Assassin oneENTERhttps://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreedodyssey/mods/359
Everything but New York and Boston
>>729446080Its london in syndicate. all of paris looks borderline identical in unity. london has some uniqueness to its districts. shame about the rest of that game
>>729446080I would say Venice was most fun to run around. Rome was also there.Didn't play Unity and anything after it.
>>729447083I liked the idea of a "moving zone" like ferries on Thames. Shame they never again did anything like it. Simple breakdown of zone progress whenever you synced with a point would be a REALLY good addition that never returned either.
>>729447083>the one game where they cut the manual jump button and you don't need to parkour because you're just given the Batclaw five minutes into the game
I liked Alexandria.
>>729446410It's Valhalla pretending to be AC 1, so it's not good and all gameplay mechanics feels wrong because it was build out of Valhalla systems.It was supposed to be DLC for Valhalla.
>>729446841no, some characters are just straight up immortalthe bitch from odyssey and the guy in mirage are somehow still around in the modern times
>>729447401How did that start with Black Flag.
>>729446119Type in your language then, conquered impotent faggot.
>>729447676a lot of people memory holed it, but the irl parts of black flag and the ending are total dogshit. also the first game to try sell you "time savers" I believe
>>729447773A lot of people also didn't care because BF let them sail around as pirates.
>>729447710t. anjeet
>>729447268>Simple breakdown of zone progress whenever you synced with a point would be a REALLY good addition that never returned either.I'd love this, but that old idea of zone completion is basically gone in nu-AC titles.
>>729447710what the fuck are you saying you schizophrenic niggerape?im not even a spichavana is objectively the best from a gameplay perspective
>>729447895>t. anjeet
>>729447980>romeniggersbut Havana is pretty good
>>729446080Jerusalem or San Gimignano.>>729446410I hated it. I've heard people say that it would be a good basis for a remake of 1, but I really do not believe that to be the case at all. Only Unity has good assassination missions and that might be pushing it because the only one that is really good is Notre Dame.
>>729447401>>729447676>>729447773what the fuck?
>>729448102>Only Unity has good assassination missions and that might be pushing it because the only one that is really good is Notre Dame.Yes, but when has an Assassin's Creed system worked at its finest in the very first implementation? I persist in saying Unity should've been the modern blueprint for AC series. They didn't need to go Witcher 3 wannabe in the effort to reboot it.
>>729447083>shame about the rest of that gametldr?
>>729448297Syndicate really wasn't popular. thats why they hard reset the series
>>729447676it started with roberts being a ''sage''. a reincarnating person.
>>729447773>the irl partsThat was a Sage ie the reincarnation thing >>729446841 commented on and >>729447401 shut down. So again, how does "the bullshit lore they've started doing since black flag" refer to Odyssey's immortal MCs?
>>729448297Imagine AC that was actually challenging and where you'd have to use the tools you have to kill your target because straight up attack is suicidal? That's kinda the inherent problem with the series: games have to be braindead easy because of the mainstream audience they're appealing to, so everything they add turns into bells and whistles you can ignore and rush your targets.
>>729446080It's crazy that people actually play this repetitive slog, then do it again and again for every new entry. I played the one in rome or whatever as a kid, by the time I left the city I felt like I'd gotten the gist of the game and there was no reason to keep playing. Somehow other people not only finished it, but they went online to complain about it, then they played the dozen other games that were more or less the same, all while complaining about those too. You people are mad.
>>729448461its not about strictly the immortal MCs thingthey completely went off the rails with the supernatural shit. from gods, to teleportation etc.that was just an exampleUp until Unity it was grounded
>>729448538I feel like AC titles are solid time wasters for a month or two every few years so you don't burn out.
Rome in Brotherhood and it's not even close. The only one that can even scratch it is Venice.
>>729448520To this day playing Unity's co-op missions solo was the only remotely difficult piece of content in the entire franchise.
>>729448297Yes, it's true that AC Unity has easily the best stealth gameplay in the entire series. If you get caught, I remember it being pretty fucking hard to take on an army of enemies. Having said that, the RPG lite formula is clearly what the masses want. Those nu AC games are pretty damn popular. Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla were all major successes. People don't want an actual stealth game like Unity, they want "RPGs". AC is meant to sell, not be a form of art or expression or whatever.
>>729448554>from gods, to teleportationSo AC1?
>>729448664rogue's legendary ship battles were pretty difficult
>>729448538But enough about Yakuza.
Paris was the most city like and is beautiful. London was a dump (Syndicate not Valhalla) but I guess that’s expected. Alexandria was really well done.
>>729448374because they clearly set up syndicate to fail. or did someone GENUINELY think the grappling hook was a good idea?
>>729448760>London was a dump (Syndicate not Valhalla) but I guess that’s expected.
>>729448852>or did someone GENUINELY think the grappling hook was a good idea?>GENUINELY think the grappling hook was a good idea?>think the grappling hook was a good idea?>implying nubisoft has any good ideas
>>729448359If u ask people why unity is peak, it's the perfect parkour and in-depth assassination missions. that games story is fucking awful but no one really cared. syndicate had neither of the good things for some reason. parkour was worse and the only assassination i remember is killing that guy from the hospital operating table. It was just really easy compared to some late game unity. mid story, really mid dlc's and mostly forgettable characters. it did a lot right but not in the areas needed. the map was absolutely beautiful and with the 60fps update, it's still worth a play for a cheap cheap price. The landmarks were probably the best ubisoft ever had to offer
>>729448374Syndicate was a simpler Unity. They removed a lot of the customization and weapon variety and added bullshit mechanics like grapple hook (kills the parkour) and the guns were too op this time. The gang mechanics were dumb as well.
>>729447083For me it is also London but I am unironically from London so I have extreme bias.You are correct about the rest of the game though, boring forgettable story. A lot of AC games have really good maps to explore, the early games had a good story with some kino and some utter dogshit missions. Later games the story became more shit and missions even more shit. As much as I liked the boats from Black Flag, I ain't replaying those follow this NPC undetected while staying in range listening to him talk missions.
>>729447268>>729447927It's the curse of different internal studios working on individual games. Some ideas just don't cross-polinate.
I wish they made Syndicate dark like they wanted to when it was Victory. Shit is too goofy for me.
>>729446080>dat feel when I just like my adventures in Ancient Greece
>>729448686AC1 only had apple that was mind controll and illusion.AC2 was all over ancient aliens added gods as holograms with so goot precognition they could talk to desmond via ezio via animus because they forsaw that.3 continued with 2 but Juno was "alive".4 had Juno on hard drive and immortal guy as technician who also appear as main antagonist of animus part cuz he's immortal.AC Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla went full retard with Isu stuff, previously it was odd artifact here and there with gods working as holograms of ancient aliens.
>>729449429series should've died with rogue and unity
My dream Assassin’s Creed game is a medieval European setting and you play as a Knights Templar. Medieval Northern Spain would be so based. You have to kill assassins who are from Islamic Spain and retake land from the slimes.
>>729449429The "gods" were talked about already in 1, and Al Mualim teleports during his boss fight >4 had immortal guySee >>729448461
>>729446080London
>>729449316Odyssey is the LEAST Assassin's Creed of all the games, but it's pretty great at what it is. Fuckton of systems to engage with.
>>729449429Brotherhood and Relation had some good stuff. It died with 3 though, or should have ended at 3.
>>729449568based as fuck
>>729449568This would be too good, Ubisoft hates making money.
>>729449048I'll need your shitposting loicense, anon.
>>729449771My game glitched and I couldn’t continue. I had to kill some dude for the meeting with the spartan king but it wouldn’t update the quest after I killed him. I just rage quit the game after that.
>>729449568They wasted Spain as a setting on the godawful Fassbender movie nobody remembers exists.
>>729449568>My dream Assassin’s Creed game is a medieval European setting and you play as a Knights Templar.Never forget what they stole from us.
>>729449601>and Al Mualim teleports during his boss fightHe's not teleporting, he have mind controll device in his hand you just can't see him.He literally explains it to you before fight mocking faith and miracles as sham.Everything during this fight is an illusion, apple only manipulate your brain.
>>729446119Is a remaster of AC Black Flag happening?
>>729450135have no ideaive seen shitposting about this thoughit would probably be the only way ubishit could save the company in the long term provided they dont get bailed out by the canadian government again
>>729450135its been supposedly leaked multiple times now but still not a single peep about it from ubishit
>>729449985FOREVER MAD
>>729446080I actually think uplay/ubisoft connect is very cool it just runs like total dogshit and has for over a decade. adding skins you can claim if you get achievement points is the least offensive "loyalty program" I've ever seen. more proof that ubi is the king of great ideas implemented in the worst way possible. ubisoft connect literally eats frames by existing
>>729450274they're going to retroactively alter the story to make freeing black slaves from evil colonizers one of the main gameplay aspects, just watch
>>729450045You can use that same excuse for stuff in the future games. You don't fight a Minotaur in Odyssey, it's a human which you see as a monster due to a Piece of Eden illusion, which is why when you grab the Apple at the end of the fight you see a mummy dude on the ground. Again, where in Black Flag is the Odyssey-tier "bullshit lore"?
>>729450135I predict it before ac german witches which should be nearly finished. that game following shadows might actually perma kill the franchise
>>729450352Was already a thing in Freedom Cry, secondary.
>>729450352The dlc is called freedom cry and you play as a former slave
>>729450498>>729450510
>>729449916>shitposting loicenseKek, for real though there's no such thing. You get arrested and potentially imprisoned for wrongthink and that can differ day to day, per government, per absolute jobsworth police officer.
>>729450352Jack Sparrow was wanted by the east India company because of refusing to haul slaves so that wouldn’t be surprising if they yoink that. There’s already some anti slavery stuff in the original and your first mate is an ex slave.
>>729450498>>729450510Integrating those two properly would actually make sense. Blunderbuss, motherfucker.
>>729450740Adé is actually pretty cool for a nig.
>>729450821>gets skullfucked to death in the next game
>>729448520I've been playing shadows and it's actually pretty fun and exactly what you're asking for on hard. 10 hours in and not only has Yasuke not been an option to play as, he hasn't even been mentioned since the first 30 minutes
>>729446080France. Easily their best map by a country mile.
>>729450881>Moose !!Tm8/4MnbTW4How the FUCK are you always in these threads?

>>729446080Istanbul.
>>729451287Istanbaloney
>>729451267Exactly.
>>729446410It's essentially a mini Valhalla if they repurposed it with classic AC mechanics. Pickpocketing is there, factions are there, there's a huge focus on stealth, you never want to get into combat and when you do your only option is parrying because enemies block so many hits or take little damage, there's investigations ala AC1 but way more fleshed out, there's proper assassinations with escapes, etc.If you made the parkour and combat more like Shadows and got rid of the teleportation and melting throwing knives you'd have the best basis for a mix of classic AC and nuAC.>>729446678>bro there's thousands of years old people living amongst usAita is a random chance someone gets him activated in their DNA and you can still resist being taken over by him by just saying "No way fag" like Elijah. It also only happens maybe once every several hundred years unless the stars align like with Elijah and Roberts.Juno only came back because Abstergo used a Shroud of Eden and a bunch of reverse engineered human genomes to try and "clone" an Isu at which point Elijah immediately went to kill her once her Instruments of the First Will managed to break in and steal the body.Pythagoras is only alive so that the Isu can pass on the Staff of Eden to The Keeper because they're banking on Loki and Aletheia. As soon as he hands over the Spear to Kass he dies.Kassandra lives innawoods hunting PoEs and staying away from humanity. She basically does nothing but hide the things while very rarely intervening in society like in Valhalla or Jade to get some more. She's also dead now.The Valhalla Isu only reincarnate once all at the same period in time and once they die they die for good. Their hosts can also "No way fag" them like Eivor with Havi or do a merge with them so the original human lives with the Isu like Sigurd. If you're already in a host that's dying like Freyja was that's gg no re for you. Loki is the sole exception because of math and an Isu Animus.

>>729449985>>729450287I still can't believe they never turned this into a full game.
>>729446080Does anyone remember an Assassin's Creed webcomic with Desmond, Altair and Ezio as chibi characters? I can't remember what it's called
>>729446080Jerusalem
>>729452167What stings the worst is Unity had such a forgettable story I can't recall a single thing from literally anything would've been better.
>>729452692It's mainly just because they focused on Arno the charisma vacuum and him wanting to impregnate Elise all game. The actual Assassin and Templar stuff was super interesting because Mirabeau and de la Serre were actively trying to become allies and find a middle ground with the Austrian Grand Master even coming over to France to reinforce that sentiment despite de la Serre and Mirabeau's death until Arno killed him because of a misunderstanding.>>729451057Ancient Chinese secret.

>>729446394I don't know if Origins still counts as a "modern title" but it had some really nice cities despite kickstarting the RPG trend, Cyrene and Alexandria especially
>>729446119/thread
>>729452948Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, and Shadows are all "modern titles". They're the definition of nuAC.>Bloated country maps.>Combat that is more about abilities and dodging.>RPG damage numbers.>No or less focus on tools.>Dumbed down stealth and parkour mechanics.>The ability to make non-canon dialogue choices.
>>729446119Rome kinda sucked to be honest, the urban parts were cool but too much of it was just plains and hills that you had to traverse with your slow ass horse. I would've much preferred it if they made the inhabited city part bigger and just trimmed everything else out. the vatican district was one of the visual highlights of the city and they gave you fuckall to do there besides a couple assassination contracts, not even any shops present there.I would've also been happy if they let you go back and freeroam in Venice and Florence, they ported like half of each city over anyway for the Christina flashbacks.

Every time I 100% an AC game I put the character in the main home/assassin bureau (Masyaf, Monterrigioni, Tiber Island, etc.) and never touch that save again. I like to think they finally completed their mission and can relax.
>>729453858bro are u me?
>>729452959>best assassin outfit in the game>can't wear it again without mods after completing the tutorial sequencewhy did Edward have to slap all that gay leather padding onto it?
>>729453510>Venice>swimmingsounds like a skill issue to me. you can parkour your way to any point on the map.>>729453858I do all the side content before the final mission so that way when I finish the story, it finishes and bookends the entire game simultaneously. oftentimes the protagonist doesn't canonically return to the city anyway, Ezio leaves Rome after killing Cesare, leaves Constantinople after rescuing whats here name, Edward leaves the Caribbean after killing Torres, Shay goes to Europe after stopping Achilles, etc.
>>729454168that overcoat would be hell in the tropics
>>729454463if you think that's bad, imagine walking around in this
>>729450287medieval france/ HRE would have been KINO but nu asscreed ubisoft would make it about niggerfaggots somehow. series died with Origins.
>>729450135Yes, as a way to market it to modern audiences it will be named AC Blacked Fag
>>729453150Giving dialog choices in Odyssey was such a weird decision. I have a feeling it really came down to "romances".
>>729454873>bring proof of killing giant animals>lets you tap every timeCHAIRE
>>729454873It really was all about romance and if you wanted to kill your dad or not. They saw how popular the Witcher was and thought "Oh, gamers want le sex" But there was no Triss or Yen, just some random side characters who get a fade to black scene when you press the heart button.
if you like history, it's usually whichever was set in your favorite time period. I love Boston. I still boot it up occasionally just to run around. And it is objectively one of the lesser ones.
The Witcher 3 and its consequences have been a disaster for the Assasin's Creed series.
>>729457346correct. they should have milked world of assassination's formula instead.
>>729457346>Witcher 3 on my backlog for almost a decade>Played through Origins several times>Played enough Valhalla to be sick of the formula>Finally install and boot up Witcher 3 after getting bored of everything else>Realize it's more of the same shit and quitshame, I'm sure it's quite a good game, too
>>729456141Rogue did a decent job with the colonial setting, I'd say a better job than 3 at least.>>729457346Origins is actually a decent game even if it's the wrong sort of game. And it's definitely better than the Witcher.
>>729458139It's game that popularised open worlds after 2015.After W3 exploded every game had to be like W3 but forgot that main driving point of W3 were characters and writting, depressive writting and very bleak word. Not combat mechanics or world size or one of millions questionmarks to useless barrel with some useless junk.
>>729458271North Atlantic was kino but I hated New York, especially because they used Caribbean Black Flag assets for buildings instead of proper American AC3 ones.
>>729446080Constantinople is my gut instinct and I don't care for the Desmond extensions all that much otherwise. It's just a location with such rich history and I remember there's lots of ways to use the environment. Paris is probably second for me.
>>729446406what about syndicate? it looks like assassins creed unity: 2 and I thought about playing it, since it's the last assassin's creed not copying the witcher 3. is it bad?
I had fond memories of Venice and Rome, but they look really rough by today's standards. Constantinople still holds up though. The atmosphere is magical
>>729458985Syndicate is better than Unity, though /v/ will try to tell you otherwise. It's the same game, but with less floaty, glitchy animations and polished parkour. The main assassinations are more sensibly presented, the story isn't half as dumb, and it has fun minigames like carriage racing
>>729458985my main gripes with it are the 2010s woke era writing, copypasted buildings, and the fact that you become insanely overpowered near the end to the point that you can't even experience parkour, combat and stealth anymore because you can instantly grapple to any rooftop, OHK every enemy, and literally turn fucking invisible
>>729459243I like both, they aren't that different at the end of the day.
>>729446410It has a stronk woman leading an extremist Islamic sect.
