I haven't really watched any gameplay. Lemon, where are you? It can't be worse than Unity.

Do any of you think it looks any good?

it could definitely be a good game it's just not about being an assassin any more

You called?

If it follows the trend the franchise has been going through, then Syndicate should be pretty good.
AC1: Meh. Good concept, but super flawed.
AC2: Brilliant game. (Brotherhood and Revelations are just AC2.5, so they don't count)
AC3: Fucking awful.
AC4: Not much of an AC game, but a fantastic game nonetheless ()Rogue is just AC4.5
Unity: Fucking awful

I love the setting (biased, but whatever). The lack of carrying around a sword and moving towards street brawls with the lads after a cheeky nando's looks great -the faster paced combat is a good thing. Getting stuck in sword fights because of the AI being slow mongs got annoying sometimes.
Running pedestrians over with the carriage is stupid though, and looks quite clunky.

I really like the 2 protagonists route they're taking though. Jacob and Evie seem quite the good contrast.

Even this one?

well yeah, you don't really need me to describe what an assassin is like, all i'll say is that this protagonist is definitely not it

You haven't been an assassin since AC1, if you're going by the definition of the Hashshashin.

Not really a fan, but modern day appears to be back as more than just a few cutscenes or a floaty iPad.


Also, memory-corridor loading screens are back.

Spoiler

Well, they have to finish up modern day one day. Still got Juno or whoever out and about.

I'm just glad the characters aren't carrying around about 50 weapons so openly anymore

that series stop being cool when Ezio died

well except for the naval combat in the pirate one

People really need to get off Ezio's dick.  Not every Assassin has to be this hunky playboy who fucks anything that movies.

It'd be nice if we could have a protagonist that is actually a genuine assassin from the get go, instead of just someone using the brotherhood to their own ends until right at the end of the game

dude srsly what, he was only a fuccboi in the beginning. For the rest of his duration he became mature and stoic

There just hasn't been any characters after him that have stood out as much
