Assassin's Creed Syndicate is free on PC when you have a Ubisoft Connect account until December 6th, 2023.
GF365: "Is Assassin's Creed Syndicate worth playing in 2023? Many veteran fans consider this game the last “real” Assassin's Creed game. Did that opinion age well? How does Syndicate compare against the previous game, Unity?"
I thought it was great back in the day. Evie was a master at stealth, while Jacob was the fighter. Good 💩!
Well they were. She could go full invisible and blend into the environment at the highest level. Jacob could shoot a gun mid punch while fighting. You needed to build out the skill tree.
It was the last in the series I actually liked, before they went full-blown grindfest. This game had grindy features too, but at least it had some limits.
My biggest issue was that it didn't move the modern story forward which was a let down. Still a fun game, though.
Definitely, it is a great game with a really detailed setting.
Unfortunately, you can't play it on PS5 though as it has a major flickering glitch with the lighting/shadows which makes it unplayable.
Really? Great, thanks for letting me know. It must have been relatively recent because when I downloaded it to play again on PS5 sometime in the last 12 months it was still really bad.
Good news though, now I can give it another play through. Never did the Jack the Ripper quests previously so want to give them a try.
Brotherhood was the last one I liked, but in fairness, I checked out after Revelations (which I really struggled to maintain interest in long enough to finish it. I eventually did but I couldn't tell you a thing about it though because I really did it out of necessity to finish something I started).
By that time, fatigue really set in and I simply don't care about it anymore.
Wow, it's actually happening: Ubisoft will deploy a patch for Assassin's Creed Syndicate on PS4 tomorrow (that's the 23rd February) which will finally fix the game's flickering visuals when being played on PS5 via backwards compatibility.
I just wish they'd patch Black Flag on consoles to enable 60 fps. Of all the earlier AC titles that was my favourite.
That's really cool that Ubisoft is finally patching this even though its too late for me. I never thought they were going to patch it, so I beat AC Syndicate on PS4 end of last year. That's one game off my backlog.
It's cool. It's just a bummer they didn't take the opportunity to also unlock the framerate.
While the GTA games remain some of the greatest crime games ever, they are well known. Here are eight great crime video games that aren't GTA.
Yeah.
It lost the grounded soul of the original and became a kind of corny take on horror.
The sequel was by no means a bad game, but it's like they didn't understand what made the first so good.
Not much different than FEAR 2.
I still would have liked to see what they would do with the third, but WB turned them into a license developer for years now.
I doubt they'll ever be given a chance to work on old IP unless they get from under WB.
I am too. Loved The Getaway, such a fun time I had with that game. Shame it never came out on PS3 back in the day😢
They did showed tech demo of the third game until it stuck in development hell for years and cancelled it for some unclear reasons.
Same with Eight Days very impressive looking crime game but got cancelled for unclear reasons.
Good-Smurf
Yeah, I remember that PS3 tech demo for The Getaway, it was really stunning at the time, and the density in traffic (for the small section on display) had me really impressed. I guess I wouldn’t say traffic, just the amount of vehicles on display in general in that area.
And I remember that Eight Days, that first trailer (where it looked like gameplay) with animations that still today blow me away, specifically the guy jumping throw that diner window and landing onto that table, that was a 🤯wtf moment! I remember hearing it was cancelled and was so bummed.
I wish Rockstar would’ve done something with that Sony exclusive they never delivered on (for various reasons we don’t know) shame on that too.
Scarface needs a remaster
True crime series was a lot of fun. Hopefully MS will reboot the series
Saints row 1-2 needs a remaster
Sleeping dogs is great but I feel like it's on all lists now a days
Scarface, I put so much time into that game! LOVED IT!
Would love a True Crime again, loved NY.
And Sleeping Dogs, great it is!
With Xbox buying Activision I would love to see them reacquire the license and remaster the game. Then resurrect the cancelled sequel in Las Vegas. Scarface could have been a huge franchise but Activision bought Sierra, and COD4 had just exploded the shooter market. We know where their focus went after that.
Urban Chaos Riot Response is also deserves a mention one of many hidden gem of PS2 era.
Getaway is simply a darker more realisitc GTA in London crime world the second game pushed PS2 to its breaking point alongside SoC.
Snagged it.
Underrated that's debatable.
One of the most overrated imo. A big step backwards from Unity.
Meh. Pass.
I loved Syndicate! I played this game mostly as Evie because of her stealth abilities and loved using a cane sword.
