Is story worth finishing?

[Massive Midget]

im a big assassins creed fan and got a new pc so i could finally play the newer games but unity is buggy and i cant seem to get into it, is it worth playing on for the story or should i just leave this and go to syndicate?

[CursedPanther]

Not entirely. I think ACS is the better game of the 2.

i tought so but im still curious to the story

[Circurose]

The game is not enjoyable enough to finish.

[Karius]

It is a matter of preference. I have completed both and much prefered Unity. It is by far my favorite of the A C games

Both are not that enjoyable-
but that's my personal thing
first things first Ac Syndicate looks far better and is also better optimized.
I am nearly finished now and have to say
A lot of the missions were pretty boring.
The weapon and gang update system is o.k and fun at first but pretty lazy later on overpriced.
If you like the Victorian era the game is nice and London looks really amazing.
The AI is stupid and some missions are broken- for example the
"carriage protect" side missions.
If you buy syndicate buy it cheap. The story is not that entertaining and most of the time you kill some Templars and free some kids to get all the areas of London. The rest is sidemission.
There are some good new points and ideas but not that special. Its an o.k. game to me.


To unity well I can´t tell much I´m still stucked at sequence 2 first mission-
caused by a loading bug and after I reported it to the ubisoft support I´m still waiting for an answer after 3 weeks now.
So its not playable now.
What I´ve played so far unity has problems with framerates
Suddenly pop up of people or architecture
clothing physic issues.
And blurred low quality textures

I play rogue at the moment

i dont understand how that is possible

[Karius]

Again it is a matter of preference. I was fortunate that the vast majority of the bugs everyone was having did not occur to me. At first it was crashing after about 39 mins and i adjusred the resolution to match my desktop setting and it ran great. It did occationally have people pop up out of nowhere but it wasnt too bad. After i adjusted the resolution it probably crashed about 5 more times and i could play hours or days with no issues. I loved the setting and the characters and yes the story is a bit weak but I enjoyed it. I finished the main story and dlc.

Arno is such a weak attempt of rebooting Ezio that it ain't even funny. Can't take anyone seriously when he/she thinks ACU is better than the whole Ezio trilogy combined, even if it's just merely an opinion.

[p_munn]

I have to agree with Karius. Unity is my favourite too. I have not had any crashes or serious bugs. I find the missions quite varied and like the Paris setting.

True, my favorite games til Revelations but i like the pirate settings too.

[Diabolicus]

I'm on the Sequence Arno fire the weapons for now is annoying, i wait others missions is like the same, i leave the game.

This game has a chance to be the best one of A CD,but Unity lost it.Many people of my areas think that the story of Unity has been changed by Ubisoft. The story before change must worth it.

I repeat, I am in the sequence (can not remember the number perhaps 5), in which Arno going into the store and fire the weapons of the Templars, until now the story is boring me.

Unity's strength is really in it's world, setting, side activities and it's gameplay improvements. IMHO, it's one of the stronger AC games since Brotherhood in terms of world and gameplay. (tho, I loved 3 and Black Flag), it's a return to AC's stealthy roots and is much better for it and this is easily one of the hardest AC games. Nonetheless, I think AC still needs a massive rehaul in stealth. It's still not as difficult as it could be.

Sadly the story is weak, it's plot is good but it lacks emotional pull and the game's technical issues let down the game. IMHO, it's a standout of the franchise in terms of gameplay, but the story really makes it a passable and forgettable experience in the lore of the franchise, which is why I can understand people recommending to skip to Synidicate. Arno is alright, and Luisé (that's her name, right?) is boring in general and only got SLIGHTLY interesting too late into the game. Character development was a major issue and if they got that right, it would've been a lot better. Though, IMHO, AC deserves a bit better than a simply love story.

Overall, I love this game, it's best aspect is really just exploring, doing side activies and missions. They're actually a LOT of fun and the world is beautiful adn the gameplay is a great improvement over the last couple of AC's. If you're not into the story, you don't have to progress further.
