Think it’s funny people think it doesn’t look as good as unity. I played
Unity on ultra on PC and the xbox one version of syndicate looks good as
that. You can’t expect another leap in graphics for this game…it’s
already pushing the consoles to the breaking point. Unity was fucking huge
and had so much unneeded detail that no one even praised the game for
because it ran bad. Going in 1 in every 3 buildings in a city that big and
then being each differant and fucking filled with stuff and HD painting and
gold trim and all the fancy bullshit was crazy to me. Unless they tone that
down the overall graphical fidelity is not going to go up and I don’t
expect that to happen because AC seems to set a standard and keep it when
it comes to graphics and size of the game world.
Don’t really care about critical reviews. Those are generally worthless. I
just purchased Unity for $13, and it’s been well worth it. When I buy this
one for less than 20 bucks, I’m sure it’ll be worth it too.
Assassins Creed is too easy these days and the modern story is now a
nothing. Ubisoft is still yet to show they care about this. When Ashley
said she was bad at Assassins Creed, I was like “How?” In the early games
it was dangerous, impractical and downright suicidal to fight 200 people at
once, but now I could fight 500 with barely a scratch.
Dear Miles, if you ever read this, I just want to let you know that I hate
you.
WHHHHYY ?!? WHY U DO DIS ?
Heart still broken from rvb13.
angry joe should review this game, he is known to be very harsh on games so
if he gives this a 7 or higher I will consider getting this game
Considering the just paid you guys for a sponsored video on the Let’s Play
channel, yeah I’ll take all of what is said here with a grain of salt.
Yea saying its like unity exept less glitches doesnt make sense to me to
raise the score to a 9.
Unity’s story was boring and predictable and they didnt even have desmond
to at least have some storyline for me to care. As someone who has every ac
game up till unity im just gonna skip this simple reskin and hope we get
something more last-gen like in ways of innovation.
They seem to focus on all the wrong things the further they go along. Yea
it was interesting seeing landmarks and having info about them in ac2, but
at this point in ac games you get paragraphs of text on every street you
visit and people just dont care anymore. We want to play a game and not
visit a climable virtual museum.
The story has been fucked from all sides. Templar Assassin war doesnt even
have a reason other than they are bad guys some of the times. Future
storyline has gone to shit since they killed desmond. Edward Kenways story
had the same problem but then again it was more of a pirate story with
assassins barely present and we had the gameplay that fit the setting. Now
we get more generic poeple with the personality of ezio exept they whine.
so yea….
Miles Luna needs to be in the know more often. He’s a great guy.
anyone else notice the game being called mgsv by accident lol?
remember AC2, can we have something like that again?
There’s a difference between bad games, and games that are not for you.
If you are sick and tired of Assassins Creed and hate Syndicate without even
playing it, this game isn’t for you. You are just part of the group of
people that
hate Assassins Creed just because it is a yearly release and doesn’t
reinvent the wheel
every time. That doesn’t mean this game is worth $60. I don’t fanboy over
Assassins Creed, like my cousin does, but I will probably pick this one up
when the price drops, some time next year. That’s the key to yearly
releases, or just games you aren’t to fond of but wouldn’t mind spending
some money to play it. Wait for the price to drop.
If Syndicate is there, I’ll give the game a try at DigiExpo in a week. If I
like what I see, I’ll probably get it for Christmas.
ever since Desmond’s death in 3, the modern day story just fell out of
existence… it really sucks now… there is no clear direction in their
story-telling and they’re just using Shaun and Rebecca as an excuse for
“fan-service” to the players who’ve been playing since Assassins Creed 1 or
2… that is the biggest problem in the game, back then the modern-day and
the Assassin stories would mesh together and create this bigger and
mysterious plot that makes the game more enjoyable.
If you honestly want to know how good a game is look at user reviews on
websites, don’t pay attention to critics, steam is where i go for all of my
inspiration when i buy a game
Ubisoft just needs to take a 2 to 3 year break on Assassin’s Creed and
really needs to take their time
I like Miles reporting on the news
I will drink your milkshake.
Black Flag was “time consuming” and I wouldn’t consider it an Assassin’s
Creed game. I loved the franchise before Black Flag, but it really took me
out of the series.
Help this game to get released in this part of the world

WHO TYPES WITH THEIR INDEX FINGERS. TELL US ASHLEY.
Brace yourself the “Omfg the last good game was Assassins Creed 2” comments
are coming
Seem like the ending and the last boss battle by design seems rushed
But are they. Going into Present time line. At least
*The Telegraph!?.. the UK Newspaper?… who gives a fuck what a newspaper
thinks?*
Companies like IGN, Game Informer, GameSpot and Polygon that are involved
with the video game industry… are the only ones who have some legitimacy
behind their reviews.
I am gonna wait until PC release and see if they did any better. If they
screw up the PC release then I am gonna pretty much ban ubisoft games
forever.
this series needs to go on a hiatus. bring back prince of Persia
I love how they blanked out Burnie’s name at the end when it came to the
finger pecking typing. He said years ago on the podcast that he did.
As for someone who has now played Syndicate (gotta love international
releases) it is a hilarious game.
And I never had any issues with Unity… I must be the minority in that one
Never seen Miles before, now I can see why Kovic says he’s mistaken for him
?
I liked Arno as a character and the setting of Unity as well as the story
and romance. There’s gotta be romance ?
as of now its a breath of fresh air…cant say i think its good yet
IT IS good, but not a game that will cure bad AC they made in the past
it is worth being 8 … but not a game of the year … i recommend waiting
for christmas or birthday
The yearly cycle is starting to show in AC games. I don’t have much faith
in this franchise anymore. Its just turned into a quick money grabber that
has a pretty sandbox that’s it.
lol love ashley calling burnie out on his index-finger typing
I decided back at AC1 that I was gonna finish this series and not be a
bitch about it so I am getting this regardless if it’s good or not. But
everything is looking towards a game that will keep the sexual fires deep
in my assassin’s pants strong enough to incinerate any doubts that this
game will not bring me back to the days of the AC Holy Trinity. Didn’t even
need Viagra this time. -Some asshole on the internet
I was always a huge fan of the series but I think I’m skipping this one.
It’s mostly because the setting doesn’t seem very interesting.
At this point, I’m just waiting for Dezmond to experience the memories of
his father.
I’ve given up on AC since AC III and my decision stays even ’till now. Ubi
dissapointed me a long time ago….and there is no turning back.
Guys…..deep breathe. Go outside. Calm yo ass down. Its just a game.
Theres literally no reason to be angry. Nobody is forcing you to play it
anyone else tired of white european assassins?
Am I getting it? Nope, I’ll be busy playing Fallout 4.
Can you please stop zooming in randomly? He asked for like the fiftieth
time…
I love this guy
It’s gonna be a good game nothing special if you like AC games you will
like this one basically $60 DLC this point but I don’t think the game
deserves a 40 probably an 80 if I had to take a guess B good game nothin
out of this world
have it already, perks of living one day in the future (Australia). So far
I like it better than unity, likeable protagonists and probably the best
game since the ezio games!
Can’t wait to pick this up, hopefully we’re getting Japan next year!
I think people who watch the RT podcast knows. Ashley was talking about
Burnie since he said it himself that’s the way he types. He should maybe
ask Freddie Wong for some typing classes.

How can Ashley say that Black Flag was the last good assassins creed game?
The whole assassins creed series was killed after assassins creed 3 when
Desmond was killied in the ending of the game. Every game before Black Flag
was a good game!
owning every assasin creed except unity im done with this franchise there
is nothing they can do to get me back in except a japan fuedal age assasins
creed.
