Yeah, some challenge is or u feel like u r just taking part in a huge interactive movie.

Definitely. These previews sound so good. They are getting me so hyped for the game.

I also really loved this quote:

"The first thing I did was climb the building next to me. It wasn’t so high but what I saw when I got to the top was insane. You could just see Paris spread out as far as the eye could see. The sense of scale was insane. It really felt like this huge city that was alive. The amount of people of the streets were also breathtaking."

It was not easy in previous chapters, it was BORING

NovusTerminus3478d ago

Acutally Brotherhood had some fun combat, but it was simplified for the games after its release. Before you have to dodge, block and parry. in Black Flag you just kept attacking...

Alexious3478d ago

It was both, unfortunately. Combat has long been one of the thorns in the side of Assassin's Creed, if they truly improved it then Unity could be great.

bixxel3477d ago

I played it at Gamescom and I literally cried out in shock when I began the combat.It's WAYYY harder than any AC game you've played before.Even harder than AC1.

starchild3477d ago

Actually, I thought the combat was fun and looked badass, it was just too easy. If they fixed that then it's golden.

wsoutlaw873477d ago

It was extremely easy and boring, counter then, kill, kill, kill. Its the reason I haven't enjoyed the series lately. Combat has sucked so it makes it feel pointless to play.

dont mind more challenging combat, this was always the flaw in the AC series

LavaLampGoo3477d ago

Same, looking forward to having to work even just a little to kill all every guard ever...

Loved AC 1 - AC Brotherhoods combat. After those games, it got incredibly easy. Really excited for Unity's release :)

HeavenlySnipes3478d ago

If I remember 2 still had the counter kill stuff

The combat has always been easy

skulz73478d ago

You could counter, but it would never lead to an instant death, apart from the really easy soldiers.
AC 1 actually had the most complex sword fighting system, with light and heavy attacks, along with more aggressive AI and quicker response needed for counters.

wsoutlaw873477d ago

Ya in 2 you could just hold block and smash counter until everyone was dead. There was only that one enemy you couldnt counter, but then you just do the same thing with dodges. It has been a very shallow combat system which ruins the game imo.

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy8544d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis523d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde523d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils522d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia523d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack523d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain523d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall523d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast523d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
