Unity is actually one of my favorite AC games. It's unfortunate that it just gets remembered as the broken AC game. Getting past the bugs it had on release, it was the peak of the series in my opinion. It had a large emphasis on stealth, combat had some issues yet still felt like it was refined like it was a step up from the combat before it, it even had armor with its own stats without over doing it as they do now. I was fortunate enough to not run into many problems so maybe that why i enjoyed it more. More should go and give it another try.

Arno doesn't talk in the server breach moments because he's a simulation of a memory. There are no memories to "connect" him with the medieval period or belle epoch because he never existed in them. He's basically just an avatar and that's literally the moment where your character is basically playing a video game, not a memory.

This was the closest they ever got to what I think the series originally strived for. They just needed a little bit more polish and fixing and the series could have finally reached it's pinnacle if they'd just continued on this path. I'm not saying the new series isn't good, I loved origins, though with each iteration they seem to be getting more and more lazy. At this point I wish they'd just do a split series, one with the rpg style and one with the classic style.

What makes Unity almost melancholic to me is that in the end, it’s like looking at a rough diamond that will never be finished. You can see it’s special and it is awesome to discover - but the potential that it had for advancing the franchise is what will stick around after finishing it if you are a fan of the franchise. It should have been this stepping stone to an revolutionary level of the series social stealth, regular stealth, coop, parcours and combat. And it was. But the shortened development killed it. They could have pulled it off however, learned from their mistakes. But instead, Ubisoft thought the problem was the game/ or that the basic idea was burned and released syndicate which, while having beautiful moments, felt like a serious downgrade, and then buried the old formula without ever finishing it. Assassins Creed is a series that has the recourses to be this massive, historical open world giant that just laughs at any attempt to dethrone it - and it just doesn’t try to keep itself alive. The franchise today is not bad but it’s not the kind of average I had hoped to see in a once legendary series.

I have experienced literally like 0 glitches in all of my time playing ac unity over the years, hundreds of hours im sure. To be fair, i did wait until a year after it launched to get it because of the horrible reviews about it being glitchy, but in my experience they seemed to have ironed it out quickly. This is without a doubt in my mind the best gameplay ac unity has ever had, and i think it is the best designed city in all of AC. I slept on this game for a while, when i first got it and played it i just wasnt impressed for some reason, and i didnt like the story. In hindsight my love for the older AC games was literally blinding me to the incredible improvements this game made. This AC, and the british one after, are the last non "bullet sponge" like enemies of AC. Origins at least had instant assassinations but the combat was nowhere near as good as AC Unity'. The parkour has literally never felt better and the fact that they got rid of free running down is an absolute shame, but i do understand that it would have been a fucking nightmare to code that in a way that works in the open worlds of origins, odyssey etc. The stealth gameplay is literally top notch, first ac to add a dedicated crouch button (took ubisoft way too fucking long to do that) and paris' large crowds are perfect for the blend mechanic, which is also the best its ever been since its directly tied to gear bonus' and skills, so you could be a heavy armored assassin who just crushed through everyone, or be a perfect stealth assassin that is able to blend into the crowd so well that you can stealth assassinate and then quickly disappear in the crowd. Also smaller point but this game has the best cloth physics (at least for player character clothing, which is the most important) out of any other AC game

And I had 2 . . . 2! . . . total crashes. (I kept track cause I heard it was bad). Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla have all crashed more then Unity did on me. Literally, thats it. No horror faces. No people disappearing. Don't recall combat halting the middle of it. I 100%, so no bugs on missions. There is plenty of footage out there of the issues, but I still can't comprehend how it was so bad for so many other people cause my experience was exactly on par with other gaming experiences.

Wassail, you took the words right out of my mouth. I got Unity for Christmas, 2014, by which time it was already massively patched. I've played it so much over the last 7 years, no doubt clocking several hundred hours if not more. I know I've only ever had 2 bugs/glitches - one where a dead guard got caught in a stall and started going crazy, and one other time when I fell through the floor. But those are just two times! The Witcher 3, another of my all time favourite games, had many more than that! I also don't understand people's issue with Arno - I liked him as a character, he was charming and I understood his motivations, and that how well he knows Élise means he sees that Templars aren't by definition evil, and them teaming up pragmatically felt right. Unity is quite possibly my favourite game *overall* in this franchise, and one of my favourite games full stop. I know I've been lucky to have a near entirely unbuggy experience with it, but I struggle to think of a single game of such scope that hasn't glitched or faltered

Personally, I loved that Arno didnt fit into the Assassin box. The point that's being driven home is that assassin's arent necessarily good. Templar's arent bad. Arno was stuck in the middle. He didnt ask to be an assassin, Bellec convinced him to be an assassin, seeing him as a tool to be used against his hated templars. Everything is always compared to Ezio. Ezio is the perfect assassin. But after 3 games of him, Im tired of the perfect assassin. Seeing these characters who don't fit the mold find their own way to the assassin ideology is much more interesting for me. My major gripe about Unity's story is the pacing. There's a huge chunk in the middle where it's just a checklist. Wish they had used it instead to flesh out Arno's relationship with Bellec before having to kill him. Also without the dlc, the game ends at a weird spot right before Arno's character resolution. Luckily, Dead Kings is free so they didnt keep that arc behind a paywall.

Completely agree with you about Arno. In my opinion he is a more interesting character than Ezio. He loses everything and even gets exiled from the order.

Solid breakdown, jayvee!! You have made me wanna play Unity again... and I have over two hundred hours in it lol. I am so with you on the De La Saire plot being a footnote & getting Arno to being a fully invested Assassin much earlier in the story. I also yearn for sequel stories that are decidedly about the Assassin agenda & how it weaves in and out of history as we know it. Which all leads to a question of direction. Right now AC sits in this gnarly mid-ground between serial story and disconnected anthology. It wants long-time fans to still think it's going somewhere, but has largely proven that it's more interested in telling self-contained stories that mirror one-another. When you said "Even if they had given us something to chew on, we probably wouldn't have seen the ending anyway", it made me wonder if we'll ever see *an* ending to Assassin's Creed or if Assassin's Creed needs an ending at all. What do you think?
@jayveeeee3 жыл бұрын
Dude! Thanks for taking the time to write this and I'm super glad you liked the video :) I would kill for a sequel story!! The Ezio games showed us how great those stories can be so it's just tough to not think about it when playing the new ones. On the ending of AC, that's an awesome question. I almost think you can look at every game since AC3 and get your answer. Ubi doesn't seem to want to end it and maybe that's why the endings of the newer games feel less satisfying. Personally I like when stories have endings, I think closure is a big part of what makes me enjoy a story. These games seem to just "end". I think that's what I love about Black Flag, you get some SERIOUS closure in that game that hits like a train. There's other reasons that one worked so well but I'm with you, I wonder if we'll ever see the end. My money is on that we won't, not unless this thing crashes and burns.

@@jayveeeee Same!! The Desmond saga just has a completely different vibe from the newer games, a vibe which isn't completely at odds with the new style of AC, that I would love to see return. I'm curious to know if you were satisfied by Valhalla's somewhat resolution to the plot setup in the Desmond games. Great point about Black flag. It had a powerful character resolution for Edward. In some ways it mirrored Ezio's journey in that way we had a full career with him before he sailed back to England. That seems pretty rare in AC games for the sake of their origin story-ness. I'm the same way; I want a satisfying ending to a game's story and eventually to a franchise altogether. But you're right, I highly doubt we'll see anything definitive until AC runs fully out of steam.

I think you're missing the point. They let you play 12 or is it 13 different ages, areas, people, history. Anything else was trying to cash in on AC1's selling success. Any part 2 would have meant less original new age, history, stories about the people in that age. You'd get copy and paste forever. Thousands would hate it. I know I'd hate it. People hated it back in those years too, I've read. You guys talk among yourselves, so you think everyone thinks that way. I hated Star Trek TNG doing these drawn out long one planet 2 or 3 parters. If that helps. I hated Deep Space 9 even more cause it was all one thing, dumb idea. If that comparison helps any.

@@jayveeeee Agreed. The same reason I love Origins ending (despite it being messy) is why I love Black Flags ending. They both feel concrete, wrap their characters arcs up but leave room for more, and have great significance to the series and protagonists. If Origins' ending was fleshed out more, it would be widely loved imo

I liked unity, the map was cool and having all those interiors was quite different from preovious AC games. To me Unity has some of the best assassination missions to this day and the murder mystery missions were great fun. It’s interesting to think how AC would have gone had this game been successful. The failure of Unity financially led to syndicate failure and the change in direction after Witcher 3. Also it was such a missed opportunity imo to not have crossed over Arno, Connor, Aveline.

Cool Comment. I'm playing AC Unity right now. I have the game since late 2014 but i stopped playing it after like a Day. It was infested with Bugs and the game would have gigantic Trouble with Servercrashes or other unavailable Features. I could not access certain Missions or Costumize Arno. Eventhough the Stuff i had, was available. So at some point i just left it. Been playing all the other Games though. Imo Unity is one of the better Alternatives compared to Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla. Unity feels like a Assassin's Creed Game and it feels like a Assassin's Creed Story. You actually are a Assassin and you follow the Creed.

It's a shame they didn't improve on this in future releases. Even valhalla feels cheaper than Unity (though I am really enjoying my time with it) I'm curious to see how AC Mirage will turn out.

Unity was super underrated! And misunderstood too. Beautiful parkour animations, smooth gameplay, a more realistic combat (blade vs blade instead of sponge enemies). And it was original in making a story that would normally be about simple revenge (Arno killing Shay, which, well, would still be awesome to see, even more so if he teamed up with Connor - and don't say "Shay would be too old"! Not only because it's fiction, but Shay was a badass, plus Ezio was old in Revelations) and instead making it about love. The guy went after the man who killed the father of the girl he loves, while also taking down a Templar menace. I think it's a sad and tragic story, but kind of beautiful as well.

I’m replaying it now actually! I don’t know why I used to think I didn’t like this game… but now in replying I realise I love it too. It also seems to be the first game in the series that starts to sway away from constant desynchronisations, and I’m all for it. I loved that the game pretty much said, “Here you go, here’s your mission/here’s your target. Use the people and situations around you to create your own outcome.” It made it so much more enjoyable for me, rather than playing by the book and getting really angry cause you can’t achieve full synchronisation on each mission. It completely gave you your own freedom to play the game how you wanted to all while somehow still feeling like an Assassin’s Creed game. You wanna be super stealthy? Great. You wanna go in all guns a blazin’. No worries. You wanna try stealth but then get caught halfway through and end up fighting out the rest of the mission? That’s cool too. So yeah I really like it actually!

Absolutely fantastic video. I agree with your take on the gameplay clashing with the story; it's called "Ludonarrative Dissonance." I started a replay of Unity on my PS5 after last playing it in 2015 and I've really come to appreciate it much more. Yes, there are issues (like with ludonarrative dissonance). However, like you said - this is the ultimate Assassin fantasy. Had the game been given more time to roast (or bake, whichever the goto metaphor), this could've been one of the best Assassin's Creed games and high up with the Ezio trilogy and other titles. Hopefully, Mirage takes us back to this and much more.
