Me and My friend finally got a chance to sit down and play Some Assassin's Creed Unity together. For some reason my internet has been slow today, like, painfully slow. So it was a bit laggy since i think it's peer to peer, but i'm not sure on that. The slow internet probably wasn't helping it though. We ran through a few of the Multiplayer missions together. The one above is from a mission where you have to stop Snipers from taking out Napoleon and a bomb from blowing up, and then tracking down letters to figure out who did it.
This one was taken on our way to the place where we found the intel on who was behind the plot. We ended up struggling quite a bit on this area because there were so many snipers we couldn't get too. After a bit though we managed to get it.
Another one we did was about the execution of Danton. We had to protect his friends from assassin's trying to kill them. When we first got there we had to sneak into a restricted area to talk to him. I ended up crowd blending and using a disguise to walk up to him and then sneak out again. The Mission took us to the crowded plaza you see above and me and my friend had a pretty lengthy brawl there.
Overall the Multiplayer is pretty fine. It's a lot more cut and dry then the Story though. The multiplayer boils down to the Basics for the most part. They're still a lot of fun, though they can be tedious to run by yourself.
I'm just wrapping up AC Odyssey. I'll be heading back to Unity to finish it off soon. I still have a couple of things to finish in Black Flag, too.
I never really got into the online multiplayer aspects of AC. It really bugged me that they put trophies in the game on that, and now I can never plat the game.
Are the servers shut down on Playstation? (i'm assuming since you said Platinum your on PS). I don't know 100% of all the achievements on there, but as long as none of them depend solely on another player being there you should be able too run Multiplayer missions Solo, i used to do it for years on my first few playthroughs when i was younger. But yeah, i get your frustration. There's so many games in my collection i just can't 100% because of online, whether it's servers shutting down or just general multiplayer troubles.
How's Odyssey btw? I'm embarrassed to admit that Odyssey i initially skipped over because i didn't think i'd like the way the story was going being pre-assassin's and the gameplay, but i picked up Valhalla later and loved the gameplay bit (at least in small pieces) so i'm wanting to give it a try since i got it with the entire AC bundle on Steam.
I'm sure some of the older game servers will be offline by now. Hopefully not Black Flag yet.
I'm enjoying Odyssey. I had 6 hours on the game from 2018, I decided to restart the game about a month ago, and now my total playtime is 82 hours. Last year I think I clocked about 10 hours on the Playstation in total. So this has definitely been a surprising amount of fun. I'm very driven by trophies and open world missions though.
I think Black Flag still had them online when I last checked.
I’ll have to play odyssey soon though. I was looking for an AC game to play after my Planned eventual playthrough of AC 3
