16:04 The blue guards are the soldiers of the National Convention. The revolutionary French government. The red guards are Jacobin militants who were populist extremists. What this game fails to capture is that often times these two groups would be on the same side. During the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, the National Convention was controlled by Jacobin politicians. By the end of the Revolution, the monarchy would be restored over France. Both sides would lose. So Kev is right. No factions win.

[@dastemplar9681]

I think the idea for the red faction was extremists in general. There were at least 32 different political ideologies/factions/parties going on throughout the entirety of the French Revolution. That way it could be applied universally no matter what the political context was at the time. Before Napoleon came to power the French went through like five different Constitutions and seven different formations of government between the years of 1789 to 1799. I like to view it as I mentioned. Blue guards represent the power of the government whoever is in charge or held majority sway, while the Red are the extremists of whatever party is at play.

[@walnzell9328]

@@dastemplar9681 That would make sense if the red enemies didn't always spout Jacobin rhetoric. Though it is true, they are used to represent more than the Jacobins. But only in a few places. There's a co-op mission where the red enemies are used to represent monarchists. And yet they still wear the Phrygian cap and cockade. And they still shout revolutionary phrases.

[@garrettwhite4448]

I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but the assassin in all black that you beat the snot out of, who then kills you at the end of the prologue, is actually the one that came the absolute closest to completely toppling the Templars while they were at their strongest. I mean the man even took a hit from the sword of Eden and was able to come to in roughly 15ish minutes to shank you after you left the crypt.

To me this is one of the best ones because the combat was the best in the franchise they built on what 4 had while also allowing you to specialize in specific weaponry and on top of it all a multiplayer that let each assassin take on the mission in their own way my favorite memory of this game was taking on a mission to a big cathedral, heavily guarded, target deep in what was effectively a fortress the other 3 assassins I was teamed up with decided to take it a bit slow and scout out the place I ran in with a musket beating people over the head on a bright red assassin outfit taking every guard within a mile of the area to fight me while making my way up culminating in getting the target to flee into the waiting arms of my brother assassin's in arms Still one of my fave moments this game deserves so much more love than it gets

Japanese government has stated they will do an investigation once the game comes out, and if it's still disrespecting them, they will take action. So they did it to themselves, considering they had said "historically accurate" which got the attention of the Japanese government to begin with.

[@BallPlayer17127]

It bc Ubisoft has always made there AC games with fictional protagonist while playing is world and interacting with historical characters that are for the most part historically accurate, but when it comes to shadows where everyone wanted to focus on playing as a Japanese assassin, ( yes u can still play as one) they chose to make a duel protagonist where u can play as a black samurai and they marketed as paying respect historical character. At face value there nothing wrong with that until u realized that most of the information they have on him was made up and not true, they also added hip hop music when he fights that doesn’t fit the setting. Good amount of black people had a issue with it (I personally thought the music was stupid but didn’t get offended ). combine that with the fact that Ubisoft straight up been disrespecting Japanese culture recently especially with a toy they was marketing that showed a structure that survived the nuclear bombs

[@hugogoncalves18]

What part of his story is made up? I've known about yasuke for years now and i learned it from a Japanese historian as him being a samurai, that later on disappeard after nobunaga died, not much is known about his life so i understand why they chose him to be a player character, they can fill in the blanks with whatever they want​@@BallPlayer17127

Unity’s parkour is incomplete and unpolished you literally float when you jump it looks so fake like gravity doesn’t even exist. Parkour in unity has to be done in specific areas which you and you have to do multiple runs and plan out the routes you want to take. In AC2-Revelations you can literally run across the map and look good the entire time and the catch ledge feature should have stayed in the series because it saves you from messing up and allows you to continue parkour seamlessly. I can name more pros than cons for the original parkour system then unity the only thing unity does better is parkour down which you don’t even need in the older games because a haystack is always located near plaza so you can easily get down safely or do a safety jump.
