Co-hosts Brett Woodmansee and Grant Ramirez are joined by Gamespot’s own Jake Dekker, as they sit down to discuss topics such as the Assassins Creed Franchise, 2015 Video Game Sales Numbers, and the next Hitman going episodic. Later, the crew goes over The Game Bolt’s game of the year awards that have been released thus far.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is free on PC when you have a Ubisoft Connect account until December 6th, 2023.
I loved Syndicate! I played this game mostly as Evie because of her stealth abilities and loved using a cane sword.
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
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.
