There's Nothing Like AC Unity

  • From top to bottom, AC Unity is an unfinished game with more bugs than an ant colony and a line of code that was probably first written in Braille and then translated to the devs by a dyslexic monkey. It is a miracle the parkour or the stealth works at all with how complex and messy it is for a game of its time, the story is the definition of the word mid, and there is at least one game in the Assassin's Creed series that handles one of the pillars of the assassin fantasy better than AC Unity:
    The stealth is more developed in AC Brotherhood, the parkour is more "parkourable" in AC 1, the story is better in Black Flag, the voice acting is better in Origins, and the graphics are better in Odyssey. AC 1 serves a truer assassin fantasy, AC 2 gives a better look at the development of an assassin in training, and AC Syndicate has better-designed black box missions. Apart from customization, Unity is not the best at doing anything. And yet... this is one of my favorite games of all time and is in my top 3 AC games after Brotherhood and Origins. And, by an extraordinarily large margin, I have spent the most hours playing AC Unity over any other videogame.
    To me, I think AC Unity is a masterpiece that was shot in the leg on its way out of the factory, beaten over the head with a baseball bat, and then told to stand proud for all of us to see. It's broken, I get it. But at the same time, it is an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. When I play it, when I enter that rumored flow state that oh so few people have had the privilege of experiencing, I feel what no other Assassin's Creed game could ever make me feel. A 9-year-old game STILL feels like a next-gen entry in the franchise, I still feel like I am either telling or uncovering a story before me in every street of Paris.
    Out of all of the assassins, Arno was the one who always felt the most "mine". The customization really lets me make Arno more of a shell for my own preferences in what I would want an assassin in Paris to look like. And to me, that is something that really adds to the addictive quality of the game., It's the closest I would ever want to get to the notion of making your own assassin.
    In this video, I wanted to make a more slow-paced routine, using more classic assassin things like social stealth, money bombs, some cool parkour, and berserker darts. I usually make much faster videos, with more aggressive stealth, but I wanted to slow down just to appreciate the mechanics that truly fall in line with an assassin (not the style I normally use doesn't, only that I usually play more like how I think Altair would complete a mission). I also really wanted to bask in the beauty of my new custom channel outfit you see in this video :) Made by KinimodXD and LordofThe9.
    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 PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One, and in December 2020 for Stadia.

      @timothywalters23 Před 4 měsíci +5

      ​@nal4883 kind of. The grappling system with many large caps almost entirely overhauls free running, and the gang system with open publicity of who they are (other than being assassins) doesn't really fit either. On top of that, you have Jacob and Evie acting completely seperate from the order other than helping out the one we see in London, which is just more gang stuff and doesn't match up with the other games with how they did things. The combat is great, and the grappling changes stealth in fun ways which is all good, but it's not exactly building on the foundation of Unity either. The free running in syndicate is more clunky anyway. Syndicate is like being a gangster with assassin tools, and it just doesn't work overall.

      Ubisoft didin't lose talent, they lost passion. They wanted to chase the hype of The Witcher 3 and as a result they watered down the whole series' identity. And it worked; the new games are some of the best selling ACs in the whole series. Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla made assloads of cash.

    I think the worst thing about mirage is that you can’t use the hidden blade to kill someone in public and remain unnoticed, there is really no low profile assassinations anymore and that is one of the coolest things about the series before the shift, is literally being that blade in the crowd, all anyone sees is you putting your hand on someone but next thing they notice that person has collapsed and the person in the hood who walked past is nowhere to be seen.

    You are not alone. Unity is by far my fave in the series, and today it plays absolutely great. The bugs are all but squashed, and Paris stands as the apex of the series parkour playgrounds. The story is a dark, romantic, classical tale. Stealth is important, if janky, because you can easily be overwhelmed by guards. The soundtrack, the porous nature of the city, the painterly art style, the outfit aesthetic, the scale of the buildings and landmarks, it is all simply a masterpiece. Unity delivers on the promise of Assassins Creed. It was a misunderstood genius. And now with Mirage, my hope is ignited for a remaster of Unity, and a return to dense, detailed cityscapes with deep parkour mechanics instead of the bloated Witcher Wannabes we've had to endure since Origins.

    It's always mesmerising watching your playthroughs, the confidence in your every move just has that gigachad assassin energy. And that final assassination gives out that AC1 vibe when Altair first did his public air assassination and if intentional, such a nice throwback. I am slowly learning to be aware of my surroundings in ACU, and recently felt that rush of confidence when I threw a poison bombfrom the ground through a second story window to get rid of a guard inside before doing the objective. It's one of those moments that makes you feel extra stealthy, clever and badass. You continue to be an inspiration and I can't be happier to see the community being revitalized.

    I didn't end up playing this until 8 years after it's release, but really enjoyed it. I assume that most of the bugs that plagued the original release were fixed by the time I purchased it from the Xbox store, but I realllly enjoyed playing this one. Despite the new AC games having more in-depth features in most aspects, Unity genuinely felt like you were part of the world it was set in, and part of the story. I would be very interested to see a remastered/updated version that allows developers to go back and finish all of the elements that they had hoped to be perfect upon its release.

Its just that unity is a very unique game, and I mean the gameplay itself even tho it's frustrating asf, I still overcomed it. The Story even enhanced it for me because I surprisingly liked Arno.

I've owned it for 10 years and all of a sudden it doesn't work. But I got a copy off the high seas that's unupdated and it runs beautifully...Ubisoft hates us for not embracing their stupid RPGs.

    I played AC 1,3, Black flag, Unity, and syndicate when I was in high school and at that time I fell in love with AC. Fast-forward, now I'm doing postgrad and finally get my hands on AC Valhalla. Few hours in and I instantly realized that this is not the AC that I used to know. Little-to-no parkour feel, dull city environment, no crowds, lazy story, nothing like what AC 3-4-5-6 gave to me. I appreciate the variety in the combat mechanism but it is more hack-and-slash now compared to the older titles. I've done around 40hrs in AC Valhalla and basically 90% of the mission can be done by no stealth at all if you got the right weapons and skills. No "incentive" to do stealth.
    Thank you for this video. It's great knowing that someone appreciates older AC titles as well :)

    I love the text in your description. I find myself thinking that way for most of the franchise games. If only they had dedicated more time to it, if only they wouldn't have fired the original writers of the story, if only they would have ended the series when they had to end it, giving it a properly ending and not changing everything at the last minute for their thirst for money... I'm always thinking about if onlys, and that is anguishing. This franchise had the potential of being so much, and unity is just another example, maybe the best example, of waisted possibilities. I think you end up stating that you still like that way. Something like you find perfection in imperfection, and if that is the case, I'm really happy for you. In my case, thinking about Assassin's Creed makes me feel the way one person would feel when looking at a saga they love so much, but knowing that could have been a lot more if it was not for greed.

    I never played Unity when it initially released but I heard there were some bugs, but sometimes later I wanted to play it. I loved it so much it’s my favorite so far. All the bugs were fixed mostly by then and the traversal, speed, and variety of takedowns makes stealth feel like it can still be quick and quite and still be badass. Origins was the last I played and you can barely stealth and standing up to run after an enemy just puts you in conflict and ruins your chances of quickly dispatching and disappearing. You can still do it but it’s more like running away and until everyone forgets about you.
