Assassin's Creed Syndicate reviews are in!

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/assassins-creed-syndicate

For those who are too lazy to watch the videos: IGN 8.2/10 Gamespot 9/10

To be honest, I totally forgot that this game was coming out this week. I assumed it was due out in late November, but I didn't think it was this early of a release. Anyways, I'll wait and see what DSP aka "World's-Best-Video-Game-Reviewer" thinks of this before I make a decision to pick this game up this early. I'll be playing the shit out of Fallout 4 next month, so IDK. If the game is a buggy, unplayable mess at launch like Unity, then I won't bother and will skip this.

So when are we getting Assassin's Creed V?

When you finally buy a gaming console.

Not getting this game. May pick up Black Flag today though, lol.

Anita has a review for it coming in soon, [100% - Anita's rating] is probably the most accurate we'll get.

Black Flag was great, go pick that shit up ang.

Anita, as in Anita Sarkeesian? Lol

Yeah, watching it reminded me a bit of Sly. Ass Creed are pretty easy Platinums too, so even if the core game isn't that great, I can get some entertainment from that.

Yeah, her, it's been getting shared around on Twitter. She also visited Bungie, they said they were honored, lol.

Yeah, I'm just going to leave this here. Feel free to downvote my post if you believe that I was wronged in posting this.

Spoiler:

^ I was gonna post it too. Garbage.

>It stands apart because it's diverse.

Her joke about the desk punch was nice though. But excessive diversity kinda ruins the immersion for games with historical context for me. I don't care about 100% accuracy, but Assassin's Creed was normally pretty good at making their eras believable.

Also, did she seriously complain that they killed people? It's a revolution, we've been around for like 4 of them, and they've all been pretty violent. Pretty sure asking nicely doesn't always work, or make a fun game.

Haven't heard anything of Anita up until now lol.

Went and bought Black Flag for $17

>EBGames Manager who Plays Destiny a lot: Are you getting Syndicate
>Me: lolno
>FemAsianDiversityHire: omg it looks sooo good
>EBGoober: It has great reviews, you sure?
>Me: From all the wrong people
>EBGoober: IGN, GameSpot,
>Me: Anita, lel. Destiny got ace reviews too

Should have asked them if they could justify the $80 price tag on a half finished game, lol. It's funny meeting people who love Destiny, hate the Vita, and buy the new AAA releases. They spend more on Shit games than Sug spends on gifts from the weeb lords. The EBgames back home was much nicer imo, the manager there actually played Vita games, and celebrated games with the original voice track.

Found this in the comments regarding the situation later discussed in the video:

Quote :

Why hasn't anyone heard about this? Because it's a non issue. You do know that Assassin's Creed has always had exclusive content in Sony consoles, right? Even going as far back as Assassin's Creed II, which had two entire sequences as DLC? Even Black Flag had an entire exclusive gameplay mode where you played as Aveline, from the WeebStation Vita game Liberation.

Also, I think you mixed up the Darwin and Dickens missions, because only TWO of them are exclusive to pre-order, not ALL of them. So there's no actual weight to your claim that half of the game is being sold. The pre-order missions are few and afar, and basically have little to no content. This has always been the case with Assassin's Creed's pre-order content: it's always just gimmicks that don't impact your overall playthrough. Additionally, all of this content is later released to all platforms and consoles.
