I finally got around to doing my own no upgrades and man what a much more fun experience. I always wondered why the "assassiny" feeling faded for me once I got mid way through the story and I realized it was because I was too upgraded to really feel vulnerable. Any accidental detection or mess up could just be solved by spamming smoke and just hitting the enemy repeatedly or using the God combo. It made those moments such a chore, and it's also because admittedly because I'm not so good at stealth. But this playthrough made me a much better player. Encounters are basically always dangerous, open combat is hardly an option and a lot of techniques don't work (the instant ground kill, smoke spam, staggering strike). Being limited to just the default gear warrants creativity, and for anyone trying this playthrough here are some techniques I developed.
Stalling: I didn't know what to call this but basically if you do get in open combat, particularly out in the city (mostly during those crowd events) you can move towards an alley way or an escape route while parrying attacks. The goal here isn't to actually damage the enemy, but lead them into a trap. Once you're in position to dash down the alley, wait for a perfect parry and start running. Take a corner or cover and abuse the cover kill mechanic (or escape).
Berserk cluster kill: in addition to the Berserk stun as well as the intended feature, berserking targets will bring in a large number of enemies to join into the fight. From a hidden position you can use a smoke bomb on everyone in that area and kill them. You may have to use multiple smokes but you can kill a large number of enemies like this. (Note this may not always work as some enemies will magically detect you when you throw the smoke. To avoid this make sure no enemy has a red exclamation mark over their head).
Side hops minimize bullet hit: if you're watching Leo k then you probably know side hops are an efficient way to climb buildings, but it will also minimize the amount of shots you take. Basically the animation Arno does will take him off the center line of the fire, allowing you to avoid some bullets. It doesn't work 100% of the time though so be careful.
Sorry for the long post but I hope someone who wants to do a playthrough like this enjoys their time and develops other unorthodox tactics.
This is SUCH a good comment, congratulations on finishing your own No Upgrades run, and giving people some cool advice!
perfectly stated fellow assassin
I'm going too give it a go. it enhances the gameplay so much. I did the same with DX mankind did a permadeath run with minimum augs. also with ghost of tshushima in New game plus mode and using only cursed charms fraility and exhaustion too spike the difficulty and up the realism. I like urs and Leo's train of thought as I always try and make games harder and more realistic. glad too know there are others of us out there.
All these ‘techniques’ work even better w upgraded gear since y got like 15 smokes lol lastly everyone who has to abuse cover kill mechanic need to git gud lmaoo
"Closest thing to magic" Meanwhile in AC Odyssey you are fighting with a minotaur and a medusa
How times change.
Expiriments with apples of eden. Idk what origins was about tho
@@Weppo. They cant just use "Because of pieces of Eden" on everything :c
@@ario6997 that's the storyline of AC. That's like saying they can't use modern day and those ISU people anymore.. it Isn't about being an Assassin.. I thought they made that clear when they made 2 games about not being a Assassin. -> rogue templar and blackflag pirate.
Edit: I hate modern day things. That's something they can skip
@@Weppo. I know that AC is mostly about ISU but they cant use it as an explanation for everything
Pause at 1:26:36 and adore Élise's hair! Thats some realistic graphics right there for you!
I've just realized that the guy in the "wrong carriage" at the start was François-Thomas Germain
Yup!
It blew my mind the second time i played the single player
You can also see or hear the names of all your targets at the party
@@baxico1313 you can see all of them at the party
hyperion I don’t remember seeing Rouille at the party but you can hear his name on the guest list
Damn you actually blew my mind with that Arno/Adam - Elise/Eve symbolism lmao
Hahaha, there you go! :P
wich part didnhe said that?didnt quiet get it
In the beginning, when Arno and Elise are children, in the garden.
Leo K [Rogue] woww thanks for that bro!
@@sohaibmohdyacop :D
Watching this 3 years later, still learning new moves and starts in this game. Better times
Making this video was so much fun, even back then.
No joke I watched the whole video and learned so many new things thankyou so much leo❤️
@@flashfwn That's awesome haha
was not aware of the fact that one can make a science project out of that game...
Anything's possible~
I've tried playing unity this way with arno original gear (with upgrades) along side a better quality sword for fighting and the common pistol for headshoting snipers at a distance, I've got to say playing through the game this way makes the experience alot more better than playing with higher ranked gear, forcing you to be the perfect stealth tactician while planning everything out beforehand and making full use of every consumables you have on hand. Watching your playthrough inspired me to try this out and I have no regrets,Thanks,
I agree! I'm so glad you gave it a shot, it's almost like playing a different game. And since Unity doesn't have a Difficulty Select, it's pretty much the equivalent of playing on Hard Mode. I got a lot more value out of this game, and some extra hours of gameplay that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise, by playing this way. It's definitely a unique and interesting experience, and something to try if you already have a decent grasp on the game's mechanics otherwise.
Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate hearing about your experience.
I really like when you explain AC lore. You have a way of making everything super easy to understand.
Thank you! I'm so glad you think so.
25:43 LMAO synchronized assassin dance
AKA when me and chat are on the exact same wavelength
The sign of a great community is when there are tons of viewers commenting compared to the actual number of views; doesn't happen for pretty much any channel.
Awesome video, watched it all in one sitting. I quite enjoyed the post commentary since it allowed for you to give more insight into your decision making.
Damn, Dexiant, thank you!
That provides me with great fuel and inspiration to make more runs like this.
A year late but I really enjoyed the video.
It was like watching a movie + having the director's comments
I learn some tips & tricks thanks to you and my experience with Unity greatly improve since i discovered your channel, your rogue academy videos are very cool
Thanks! That actually makes me really happy, this and my Rogue Academies are some of the things I'm most proud of. I like helping people, and I like showing people cool stuff. So, I'm glad.
This just proves that anything is possible if you try hard enough. I'm definitely gonna try playing the game again not worrying about the stats of my stuff
Yup, absolutely! I hope you enjoy it.
"There's your cut"
Truly, thine poetic genius knows no bounds, messere.
Hahaha
Your quite knowledgeable with AC and especially with Unity. Never heard about the Adam and Eve symbolism with Arno and Elise until now. Also is Victor and Hugo a reference to Victor Hugo the author of The Hunchback of Notre Dame?
Yes, they are! :D The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Miserables, lots of famous books written in/about Paris.
Thanks for making this video. AC: Unity is, still, one of the best AC games I've played
You're welcome, Nite. :]
It is my favourite along with Syndicate.
I really am not a fan of Unity (and even less so Syndicate) - But I will admit it easily had the best parkour in the series
These two games in particular have got a lot of execution issues. Their ideas and concepts were brilliant, but nothing can really save a game when the final product just has so many problems associated. :P I found a way to make my own fun, though, as you can see haha
i think they should have let you play as elise. The game would feel like a double main character story. And the would make the story double its current time if you see what elise was up to when you were learning assassin stuff.
That would've been amazing. To some degree they did have this idea, that's why the AC Unity novel is all the events of the game but written from Elise's PoV.
Respect your Unity vids man, I just got a ps4 with it and started playing and I love it, definitely a lot better than I was told.
It is my hope that if this series ever ends, that it ends with the modern day assassin's and templars reaching a mutual understanding (perhaps while ending up stopping Juno together), that both orders have existed throughout time due to a sort of yin and yang, as a way of maintaining a balance for human nature.
Yes, humanity was created by a creator in order to be creative, and humanity is absolutely at it's best when it has the freedom to do so. However, the unfortunate reality is that we are all born with an alter ego, and since this ego happens to be the foundation of our personalities, and the true underlying cause of our sense of existential isolation and separation from God and thus leaves us prone to all sorts of addictions, distractions and hunger in order to fill that void felt inside, it must be kept in check via order, purpose and justice whenever it rears it's ugly head.
Have you ever noticed that all of the templar and assassin conflicts occurred due to one organization getting a little too big for it's britches? While the assassin's stand for unstifled creative freedom and liberty, whenever they became too anarchic, animalistic and unchecked, the templars stepped in to wall them and restore order and boundries. And while the templars stand for order, purpose and illumination, whenever they became too corrupted, controlling or power hungry, the assassin's stepped in to liberate that control and return creative freedom to the people. It would seem that both ideologies have a vital place as long as a balance between the two is respected.
So to paraphrase Haytham Kenway, BOTH orders are born out of a realization, and BOTH only require the world to be as it is, and BOTH will ensure that the essence of humanity will never be destroyed.
Very nice reflection on the franchise, thank you for commenting. Keep playing! :D

I don't know if you've heard of Matthewmitosis but I got a lot of vibes from his commentary/playthroughs. It's very great format for longform reviews and I wish more people did this.
Also nice job pointing out the apple symbolism in the start of the game, I didn't even perceive that since I was paying more attention to the tutorial prompts than the overall story and themes.
That is one of the most legendary compliments I have ever received. I adore Matthew's content and this encourages me to make more such playthroughs.
As someone who only plays assassins creed perfectly which is very hard when I first start a new AC; thank you 🙏 a lot for all you do man.
Thank you for your support. :D
I loved how you explained every part of the story throughout the video
Thank you! ^__^
That was a focus of mine, so I'm glad it came through.
Nice! Let me grab the popcorn and a Coca-Cola bottle and we are ready... OH YEAAAAH...
I hope you like it. I've never done something this big in one chunk and certain parts have some huge problems which I'll fix in a later video.
Still, this was important for me to make so I could see if I could do it. Feels pretty cool and I have some ideas for later too.
@@LeoKRogue great! Can you do me a little favor? *If you can* . Can you try to play ac unity in ps4 without any patches and updates in the game and tell me how it runs? Because I want this game but I can't patch it.
@preternatural Excellent, I suspected that would be the answer, since I've heard similar from a great many people.
I would say, Karamouzis, just go ahead and get it.
@preternatural thanks very much bro. THANKS!!
@@LeoKRogue thanks bro. You know what? Unity will be my next game. I want soooo much this game! YEAHHHH
How fun! Having played this game fully 3 times myself, I still enjoy watching others like yourself play it. I enjoy your commentary, always have. You give some really useful insight, into both the game mechanics and general AC lore. And having watched you play this in the past, I still love how much you adore Elise, “that hot red-headed girl.”
Elise is my goddessssss
This makes me want to see a coop mission done with Leo K, Jcer and Sad_De. Three amazing AC Unity players helping eachother complete hard levles
this video is amazing, i watched 3 times and the dead kings one 2 times!.
keep it up Mr.Leo!
Thanks, Tarek. Cheers.
This has got to be one of the most well made videos I have seen. The interesting challenge, with smart strategies, and your great commentary. Well done!
Thanks!
nice way of "forgetting" that kiss scene with elise :v
I don't have a crush on cute redhead switch girls I swear! >.
xD yeah right...
@@LeoKRogue Yeah explain this then 17:17
I'm playing Unity a second time (got burned out the first time), and this time around I'm noticing many, many lovely things about this game, and watching your playthrough just adds a lot of wealth to my appreciation of this game. Thank you, man.
Thanks for playing and thanks for watching. Unity is an interesting game, it has a lot of peculiar things inside it, but it can be tough to bite into and costs more effort to enjoy than some other games in the series because of it.
Even so, definitely got some special and unique stuff going on that just doesn't really exist elsewhere, so people still talk about it and engage with it ten years later.
I hope you keep having a nice time with it.
I'm glad unity was the first game in the series for me, such a poetic masterpiece with a gorgeous setting
It's a pretty good one to start off with, for sure. :D
Same here it was my first ax game and now I’m a ac fan
I highly recommend you to go backwards after unity to the first game. The newer games do not really represent the assassin part of the genre.
School is so boring, I can’t believe I just finished this video in a few hours today. Ty
Thanks for watching!
No skill Arno scare me... sometimes
Some missions can be difficult, sure. :]
1:47:17 was probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen done in assassins creed. U couldn’t air assassinate that far so what u did was called a wall pounce which is a cat leap but without grabbing onto anything and then when u land u assassinate him. That was some real parkour shit right there
;] That's what happens when someone who's done parkour in real life plays these games lol. I also had a lot of fun playing Mirror's Edge for the first time with Runner Vision disabled completely. Thanks for the nice words!
Leo K [Rogue] u do parkour irl?
Mokshaj Kapadia Id assume yes since he knows what a wall pounce is
@@santi_super_stunts2573 wait wall pounce is an actual parkour tactic??? I thought it was just some game mechanic because there was no hand hold nearby
Mokshaj Kapadia yes lol i was referring to the real life move called wall pounce. In like a cat leap which is when u jump to a wall and grab the top of it with your feet and your legs hit the wall and u hang. So a wall pounce is if there is no ledge for u to grab ur legs hit the wall and u use your hands onto the wall and u kinda “stick” on the wall for a second then fall. Very situational move but it also can be used if u go for a cat leap and don’t make it to reach for the ledge so u wall pounce and fall down
Ever noticed how everyone in this game, has Bayonets.. Except for you?
The French Revolution was an era of profound inequality... ^__^ [just wants to stab people dammit]
I watched the entirety of this today not because I like this game at all (you know I don't lol) but I just wanted to chill this afternoon and the fact that you commentated over a 3 hour run with a post voiceover was impressive dedication to me so I decided to finally give it a go. Very smooth run and all the tips you dropped were very helpful to both new players and myself who hasn't really ever engaged in Unity skilling at all and I at least found it interesting and entertaining. I can see why this specific run popped off and resonated with a lot of people
I'm so glad, man, especially considering it was basically my first one I ever did, haha! I always encourage people who like this run to check out my others, particularly my Sands of Time and Two Thrones ones. I've been considering branching out to other games and doing other similar challenges with them, especially Destiny and Resident Evil.
I finished Sands of Time so I can finally watch that one without spoiling myself, so I'll definitely give your PoP ones a look too
you NEED more subs
That would be wonderful. :P
I've played a lot of the AC games, and am also a huge fan of the series. But even with what I thought was "my knowledge", this was still extremely cool/interesting to watch and see your take on everything, as it definitely cleared up some parts even more and made it more meaningful. Thank you for putting in the time to do this, keep up the good work man!
Thank you so much! I love these games and I'm just trying to entertain other people who love them too, so I did a decent job here it seems. :D
Couple of things I'd like to mention.
A.) Arno's more simple outfits are some of the best looking in this game (mainly his starter robes and the Arno's Tailored gear set) and I wish that they could have been used as a skin for the somewhat outlandish Legendary Phantom gear that I'm using for end-game content.
B.) You kind of do a side eject at 1:04:18, sorta? Epic.
Agreed on the outfits, it's a shame that the endgame gear is so ridiculously overdressed, visually. As for the side eject, not only is it a side eject, which are already rare as all hell, but it's _also_ a Descending Side Eject, which means it wasn't done with X/A/Legs, it was done with O/B/Drop! That's why he smoothly moves down.
@@LeoKRogue By the way, it is amazing how you respond to basically every comment, even on videos that are several years old.
You explained this masterpiece so well! Currently lots of people are replaying Unity especially with the 60fps (unpatched) on ps5 and the amazing new mods! This game still looks incredible these days
It's still really, really cool. It has a lot of issues, but it's still pretty unique.
25:44 was cool it was at same time
You make everything look so natural, damn this is so nice!
The game is totally different with you! I did not see all these things and did not played it like this! OMG (for example the kill at 41:20...
This is so pro!
The explanations on the lore\story around there from 42 to later are just amazing stuff, thank you so much!!!!
I always try my best. ^_^ Thank you for watching my video.
Beautiful.
Thank you. ^_^
Ideally this is just the beginning and I do better and better as I get used to the process.
I have been watching your videos for awhile and usually I don't watch really long videos but I am so glad I watched this one!! This was super entertaining. Don't get me wrong I love stealth repear and more action viseos but the chill conversation vibe in this video was really great! I'm migrating all my RUclips activity to my new channel Xarsis, so hopefully you see me comment more often! All round great video!!
Hey, thanks so much. I quite like these long chill videos myself, check out my Sands of Time and Two Thrones No Damage walkthroughs as well, if you're curious.
@@LeoKRogue I will, Thanks!
One of Assassins principles is not to kill innocent, but arent most of the guards innocent lmao
No. They stand in your way and work for the powers in authority. Still, it's best to cause minimum disruption. Stay Your Blade is really more about unarmed citizens, people who have nothing to do with anything. We don't take them hostage, we don't harm them and we ideally don't get them involved.
@@LeoKRogue Don't forget that some do it to feed their families 😶
M the red guards are in fact bad guys because you can see that they show up as targets to kill in crowd events because they are oppressing and killing innocents

Leo K [Rogue] hey
Hiya
Hi
Do a max upgrade run
So, just a normal playthrough?
i learned a lot of combat/stealth/parkour advice and cool trivia about unity from watching this. your amazing commentary made me buckle down and watch a 3 hour long video. thank you!
Thanks so much for your awesome comment Dr. Fop. ^__^
I really appreciate that, I'm glad I could keep you entertained for the runtime.
I did almost the same thing. Aside from some weapons and clothes, I didn't buff my health and skills at all. The game would have been too easy otherwise. Granted, the final boss is kinda cheap when he can one-shot you, but it wouldn't feel like a final boss to beat it on the first try. ...Such a shame the story didn't really pay off at all. I loved the first few games, cuz when you found an artifact in the past, you would THEN try to find it in the current day. It always felt like part of the MAIN storyline...but the recent games have just focused on the past. When you find an artifact, they just tell you 'good work' and that's it... Imagine if the movie Willy Wonka ended after Charlie found his golden ticket, and they just leave you to assume everything went smooth afterwards. Honestly the best part of Unity, was climbing the eiffel tower, and immediately afterward they say "Don't worry, that won't happen again..". >_< I almost lost my sh*t, cuz it's like the creators INTENTIONALLY troll the player. They KNOW we want stuff like that, or they wouldn't have put it in the game at all! --- Personally I want the game to take place in current day, with full access to the Animus. You THEN get to CHOOSE the time period you go to, where you search for clues to the artifacts, and then return to current day to claim them!
@Diewott1 But that's the problem...They don't really 'connect' to each other anymore.. Unity was just a Romeo and Juliet story that had nothing to do with the other games or the main storyline.
Present Day is a critical layer of the Assassin's Creed mythos. It would no longer be Assassin's Creed without it.
URGH YES! What was the point in the server glitches?? They said something about them being tracked, and made you run to spots to switch servers, so I thought something would happen and cause you to leave the animus and return to present day. Then you climb the eiffel tower and the glitches stopped!?!? ...Why?? Why even put that in the story?? There was no payoff. I agree, it was just there to tease the player into wanting more, but they never delivered.
I’m still amazed of how great unity still looks for a 2014 game, it looks like a 2018-2019 game or even better.
Yeah, it's incredible.
I finally did
I'm done
It took forever
But I'm done
You're awesome, man. Thank you so much.
I never noticed in the initiation cutscene where Arno's scrambling in his memories, that the statues in the hallway where his father was killed... They _watch_ you with glowing eyes. Creepy.
Also, this drink is interesting for the lore- It's similar to the brew you drink in Valhalla to experience the Asgard storyline. I wonder if it's the same sort of concoction.
That's a very interesting question. It very well could be, if it's meant to be something that gets one 'in tune' with their inner self.
1:14:25 huh? in my game when I hold F to throw smoke bomb, Arno stands up from the cover everytime
The "seamless-ness" of this game is infuriating sometimes.
Also he should have been able to whistle and lure em for easy cover kills like previous game..
Agreed on both counts. Unity is definitively a Broken Product, and I think no one benefits by being blind to that fact.
My God the parkour in this game is just gorgeous. Awesome gameplay.
Thank you ^__^
Ac unity and black flag came bundled with my Xbox one and I loved both games ❤️ I’m happy that you still play it also I can’t believe this game came out in 2014 lol
I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Check out my Dead Kings No Upgrades run and my AC Syndicate No Upgrades run as well :D
Damn, I needed your vids when the game had released, so much time I could have saved, learning or even finding mechanics.
pity that it is very difficult for me to play Assassins creed, or video games in general, because 6 months ago I lost 90% of my vision.
But now that I discovered your channel,
I'm kinda motivated to " learn to play again" xD
Sry for whining, just wanted to express my appreciation for your vids
No need to apologize, Deathstroke. Disabilities and conditions are definitely something challenging to deal with, and can be quite hurtful to get to acceptance with. A really close friend of mine has MS, his hands often shake when he plays games and he can't stare at screens for too long before starting to feel absolutely horrible. Wherever your journey takes you, whatever road you go on, I hope good fortune stays with you. And, I believe in you.
Great commentary and gameplay! Personally I would like to see this kind of no upgrades run for all co-op and heist missions too if possible. Would be great to see a good AC player tackle missions like "the infernal machine" that gives me a hard time even though I had the best gears when playing them solo.
Thank you. :D I actually really like this idea.
I've attempted it a few times before, and skill-wise it was perfectly fine. Once you understand the missions they're not as difficult as they seem but in terms of technical stuff, Co Op and Heist missions crash for me more than anything else in this game for some reason. If I'm ever willing to brave those potential crashes again, I'll try it again but I just ended up a bit frustrated the last time.
I sat down and watched this like a movie, honestly better than most movies. :)
That's a huge compliment, thank you so much!
As I was just thinking if it's possible to beat AC Unity without upgrading/buying your equipment, youtube recommended me this vid. While this seems like a treat to watch, I'll do so when I beat the game, I'm still at sequence 5. I also wanted to do a run like this but since my playstyle is Run and Charge like an idiot I might not do so lol, anyway imma sub, your content seem fun to watch and you seem hella underrated.
Thank you so, so much! :D I appreciate that a lot, I hope you enjoy the game, and I look forward to you coming back to check this out.
I love how this was the exact way I played the game, i only ever changed my weapon type every once in awhile but that's just about it
Sweet!
This video is a really calming experience especially after finishing the story missions. It didn't even feel like a 3 hr video. It really is interesting to see different and more efficient ways of getting things done. Nice done, Leo!👏👌
I'm so glad. ^_^
Watching your unity video always made me learn something new. Keep up the good work man 👊👊👊
That's awesome! Thank you.
i used your glitch for the rice assassination or something and it really worked. i started this game today and I haven been able to stop playing it is kind of addicting with all of the great cinematic shots
Hehe, nice ^_^
@@LeoKRogue also you said that there are no tips to rise of an assassin is that true?
Not too many that I can give, it's just a hard mission in an outdoor space with not a love of cover. The only real advice I can tell you is take out the snipers/gunners first.
2 years later I come back to watch this video again now I even realized how observant you are, like dude you had a plan for every action you made
Thanks! And indeed I did, though as you know, not everything went according to plan, so sometimes I had to improvise. 😅
Your tip on the companion missions is going to really help out my run. I'm reaching that threshold of needing more money than I'm spending, and it's been creeping up pretty fast.
Yeah, they're super quick, you just knock 'em out when there's one nearby and you get huge chunk of money for basically no effort.
You are so much better at this than I am, but I'll definitely be following your advice to help me improve.
All it takes is practice and understanding the game's systems, really.
You'll get there, I promise. What I do only looks cool and impressive at first, but trust me, it is way easier than it seems.
Unity is more about knowledge than it is about pressing buttons correctly.
I really enjoy your ACU videos, but especially this one because of it's length and very interesting and varied points. Which makes me wonder, have you considered making a critique/retrospective? Your presentation, voice, personality and stuff like Arno and Elise and how symbolic they are of Adam and Eve are phenomenal and had me interested in a long-form video like one of whitelight's many videos, but with your ideas. One where you can nitpick all you want down to the smallest details.
I've considered doing so in the past, but I honestly wouldn't even know how to begin planning or creating such a huge undertaking. It seems so intimidating to me haha, I'm not sure how people like Whitelight / NeverKnowsBest do it. It seems really fun, though.
@@LeoKRogue your style of videos in "leo talks" and others such as your ultimate ACU guide would be perfect for such video.
I would love to see the same quality for a Syndicate run! Great video btw! Just discovered your channel and it’s amazing!
It's coming. :)
You're awesome! I really like to listen to your fun facts about AC... Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
5:00 yeah, I'm that guy. You just blew my mind ;-;
Wicked haha
I LOVE the story in the AC Unity, its much more personal, and Arno is much deeper character than it seems
Atmosphere's nice too.
I actually did something like this, but with Arno's tailored gears. Honestly it was such a pain xD, Especially Hoarders and Rise of the Assassin. Anyway, great video.
Thank you! :)
it's cool to see how much this thomas carnellion assassin admired altair, given that he based his entire look off of the legendary grandmaster while opting for a color that while less traditional, was more practical in midieval france
Yeah, very cool nod for the players who are aware of who Altair is and who played his games.
Thank you for nearly 3h entertainment. It was really nice to watch the Video. I still love this game and I play it every day.
Aww hahaha, thank you so much :D
I also have one for Unity's Dead Kings DLC, and another for Syndicate. ^_^
Outside of AC, I have a commented playthrough of Resident Evil 2, Leon A.
Check those out too if you wish.
@@LeoKRogue Yes, im watching the Syndicate run right now :D

@@LeoKRogue okey, I should definitely watch them too
Im just now playing AC Unity for the first time this week 10-2021. I'll use this as a look back once play through. Very interesting indeed.
Neat, I hope you enjoy it. The game can be somewhat frustrating and it's not the most polished experience in the world or anything, so it's okay to take breaks or abuse overpowered items to get through the most annoying scenarios. Very unique game, though, there's really nothing else like it.
@@LeoKRogue I haven't played a true game like this is a long time; maybe since Mass Effect. I don't know why they don't make them like this anymore?
This guy proves even with so little resources, you can finish BIG things.
That's a nice comment, thank you so much ^__^
I don't no if you will reply but I love u and YOUR SO GOOD AT UNITY WHAT THE HELL your my fav RUclipsr I'm not even lying
Yooo, thanks so much Gumball, I appreciate that :D
@@LeoKRogue OMG I didn't even know u would reply thanks man I'm learning so many new stuff just from you ❤️
I take my hat off to you sir, this is a Hell of an accomplishment given how Unity works.
Thank you so much!
I think a lot of people, including myself, always wanted some sort of meeting between Arno from this game, and Shay from AC Rogue. I've thought about it a bit and how it would/could go. I figured I’d share my thoughts .
This definitely veers into fan fiction. If there are any fan fiction writers in the comments, feel free to take what I say and run with it.
In 1776, When Shay finally claims the precursor box after killing Arno's father, he would've headed back to the American Colonies to support Haytham during the Revolutionary war. Shay would've learned of Haytham’s son Connor and maybe even met him.
In 1782, after the Revolutionary war and the after most of the Templars in the colonies would've been wiped out, Shay would plan to retire. He’s seen both the Templars and Assassins wipe each other out over his lifetime, and is ready to stop.
Shay likely would've spent some time in France trying to track down the precursor box, so he could go there to retire. Even start at a family late in life. He'd be in his 50s around here.
He'd be good friends with Francois De La Serre, the leader of the Templars in France. De La Serre was all about unity between the Assassins and Templars, and Shay would support that after all he'd seen.
Shay would inevitably meet Arno as a child living with De La Serre. He would feel guilt for orphaning Arno, and decide to keep an eye on him. Maybe even be the one to teach Arno free-running and some combat.
In 1789, After De La Serre's death, the French Revolution, and Arno joining the Assassins, Shay wouldn't be able to help it getting into the conflict. He'd absolutely side against Germain, the main villain of AC Unity. He’d probably side with Elise De La Serre and Lafrenière of the Templar Order too. He and Arno would stay friendly despite being on opposing sides. Shay would be in his 60's at this time.
If you really wanted to push this into fanfic territory, than Connor could show up in France around the time of the French Revolution, helping where he can and hunting Shay.
I imagine some standoff between Shay, Arno, and Connor. Where Connor is trying to kill Shay, but Arno is attempting to protect him. Arno and Connor wouldn't want to hurt each other in this stand off. I always imagined Connor being a powerhouse that Arno couldn’t fight evenly with. Maybe in his prime Shay could’ve taken on Connor, but not anymore.
This could be a hell of a place for Shay to finally admit to killing Arno's father too, perhaps so Arno doesn't keep risking his life for him, But I think Arno would’ve moved past revenge and forgiven him. Maybe even convince Connor to spare him in the end.
Just a thought about how a Shay/Arno story could’ve played out.
These are some really, really cool ideas.
A close friend of mine whose writing I find inspiring actually has a complete Arno and Connor vs Shay fanfic.

2:17:56 The combat animations might not be the most satisfying where the weapons touch enemies, but Arno’s combat stances are so solid but his movements so fluid, he’s like an elegant dancer and this is his fancam, i think it’s really cool to watch, there are times where I’m drifting watching it
Gotta agree with that. It's so, so well-choreographed.
This is just 3 hours of Leo K crushing on Elise
I mean, you're not wrong. :P
Fun Fact: The mission you kill arnos dad in rouge you can actually see Arno and Elise when they where kids. And it add ip to the cute scene in unity after Arno steals the apple.
Yeah! So many neat touches in these games.
Watching this reignited my love for assassins creed (unity especially) had to redownload after watching
That makes me happy, I hoped you learned some cool stuff, and may you enjoy yourself. ^__^
God man wish I could be confident enough to play with a purposefully handicapped character good job leo
Thanks, Spartan. This isn't even a particularly strong version of this playthrough, either, so even cooler stuff is coming.
Leo K [Rogue] can’t wait cheers my friend
This guy has the biggest balls of a gamer.

@@LeoKRogue will check them out as well.
I think you should have made a video in original verison (french) and for the viewers with english subs or even without that if you don't care too much for viewers that just speak one language...
Great great video and entire concept of VOD, just wow.
Also no HUD.. as you make the entire game feel like a movie as you play like so fluidly you could really augment the value of the video.
Thanks so much, I honestly could have done even better, but it was just for fun.
You've done a man's job sir!
Thank you Bear! ^_^
After watching your videos and yor advance tech video I've went back to AC unity with new eyes especially with the combat and climbing. Also the customization for this game is very underrated. Once you look at the new game u have option but it not as blended well like unity is because with unity it doesn't matter what you wear it blends and meshes with any piece. Hope the Viking game take aspect of unity.
Thank you, Jeremy. I hope you're enjoying the No Upgrades playthrough and that you check out the Dead Kings one.
I hope the Viking game takes more inspiration from Unity rather than Odyssey.
@@LeoKRogue i am and I'll can't wait for more content
idk if you actually spotted it, but in mission when Arno is going to meet Elise, you can actually see Silvert, King of Beggars and every other main assassination targets. this nice little detail makes AC Unity's story way more interesting imo
btw im almost sure that someone mentioned about it yet here in comments, but i discovered this little detail really short time ago and i was definitely surprised
Yes! You can use Eagle Vision to see them all glowing gold as well, which suggests Arno's intuition already knew there was something off about them.
I fell asleep watching this. Your voice is so relaxing
Thank you.
@@LeoKRogue you’re welcome
Finished the campaign yesterday and felt lackluster trying to collect all the filler collectibles. So I'm going to delete my save file and run through the game with this mindset, I already got plenty of use through your advanced techniques video and this should make it all the more interesting. I can also focus more on missions and /certain/ collectibles rather than clean districts piecemeal like I did (while fun at the start, gets very boring and messes the pace a bit). I may make use of some skills later on, some missions require lockpicking to even be able to access them but we'll see. Looking forward to the more tactical, skill-based gameplay :)
This is great news and a fantastic idea. Let me know how it goes, yeah?
@@LeoKRogue
I'm really glad I started over with this "challenge", it's a completely different and much more enjoyable experience, and in some way, it's the way a hard mode Assassin's Creed game is meant to be played. I never realized how much Unity really changes the paradigm, in previous game (except maybe the first one), you were this superhuman being capable of dispatching enemies with ease and I never really broke a sweat playing Assassin's Creed, but I don't think I want a different experience now.
Here's a few ways it impacted my experience:
1. Resource scarcity: the only thing I "cheated" was in equipping the basic pistol, which I felt was part of the base arsenal for me and it's a good back-up weapon for when I ran out of Phantom Blade ammunition (not to mention dealing with those pesky gunners). I realized how important cherry and especially smoke bombs are, and despite having less of them I find myself using them more often and in more varied ways (in the same way, I realized how I barely used the other tools such as poison gas or the money pouch, as their absence didn't affect me much). Also, thank God(s) for the Hidden Blade!
2. Tactical gameplay: being forced to approach missions methodically and requiring preparation (or, literally die) felt extremely rewarding and enjoyable, but also the difficulty made my reactions when I failed much better and I found myself adapting better to being spotted or any changes within the missions themselves. I found myself tilting much less as well, since failures were mostly my own and learning what I did wrong and why gives a sense of progression (though occasionally a game mechanic gone awry or a bug/glitch forced me to reload a checkpoint or restart a mission).
3. Minimal HUD: using a simplified HUD made me more dependent on my own skill and tools rather than staring at a minimap or HUD pop-ups. It also greatly immersed me in the world of revolutionary Paris - the attention to detail and the lived-in feel of the city is really one of the high points of this game, and I find myself appreciating it even more.
4. The few things I changed from full hardcore are things which I consider basic but essential: the pistol, lockpicking (just the first tier), and communal sense (I play a lot of co-op). No gear changes, upgrades or skills from here on. I really like how simple and functional Arno's original gear looks too (I did slap a different colour on it though) :)
I frankly don't think of Odyssey as an Assassin's Creed game, and though it seems enjoyable, it also feels over-the-top and too steeped in fantasy for me to enjoy, so I will not be purchasing it. I do hope they return to pre-Origins AC (though I did enjoy Origins a great deal, much more so than Syndicate which I find to be average), and really expand on what Unity did and what it could've been.
Unity is really a great game, with many flaws, yes, but great. And being able to play like this really illustrates the depth of the game and the many ways one can play it.
Sorry for the long post lol
All forgiven for the long post; no apology needed anyway. Means you got detailed and truly expressed yourself - that's how it should be. I'm liking the modifications you selected to your own run -- Challenge Runs are a deeply personal thing, and while I've provided a framework, the goal is always for people to enjoy and extend their own gameplay in clever ways. The best way to achieve that is to create your own ruleset that will put just enough strain on you, while giving you a good amount of responses to situations. Looks like you hit it pretty spot on!
:D Pistol is a good skill to have. It's not ridiculous and it adds an extra option, especially for letting you deal with Gunners, because normally you'd be completely lost without a Firearm. (They have the same sight-range as your Pistol Attack Range, so the two game-elements counter each *other.*)
I really like the atmosphere and clutter of AC Unity, it's not something I've seen replicated by any game except maybe RDR2 haha. (Hope it comes to PC T__T)
I don't really think of Odyssey as an AC game either, it's too far off baseline for me. I can enjoy it if I try, and it's a fun thing to burn some time in, finish some markers in, listen to music and grind some enemies in, but it's such a different experience on a very central level that it's basically a totally different game. I'd love to see a Unity 2, if not in name, then in spirit. An Origins 2 would be fine, as well, if they brought back the level of intent AC Unity had. :P There are rumors that "AC Kingdom" is an upcoming Viking game, and I'm worried that it'll be more like Odyssey 2.0 than Origins 2.0. I know which of those I would prefer. Odyssey is fine - I do not begrudge the players who Love it. I'm just not one of them. (I'll still cover the game and do my shenanigans on it though, because views is views xD)
Thank you, by the way, for actually coming back to me and letting me know how it's going.
@@LeoKRogue No problem, I don't see many RUclipsrs as engaging with their audience. It's nice to see it :)
They definitely seem to be taking the RPG route and seeing as it's a model that works (sells), I don't think we'll be seeing anything like Unity for a while, but fingers crossed now that interest is back on the game.
So to add a follow up comment on the smoke bomb glitches, things are very strange.
The three tests you recommended went as they should,
-Far End Test
They could not see any kind of action performed by Arno in low nor high profile. If an enemy on one side of the smoke triggers sword combat, all guards will rush in an area, smoke or not. This is unlike the previous games if I’m not mistaken.
- “SSI Sticking” test
I tested this by triggering yellow SSI and running through, and throwing smoke at my feet.
Running Through:
The AI would lose sight of Arno, until he was out of the smoke, after which they chased straight through it.
Smoking at feet:
Immediately triggers combat but stuns enemies if in radius, if not they give immediate chase.
-rarity testing
In all of my tests, if a smoke bomb was thrown on Arno’s feet, without having any previous SSI triggers, the enemies would not react to high profile actions.
Assassinations were hit or miss. I believe this is because on a high profile assassination, Arno will throw himself out of the smoke radius. If you previously had SSI triggered, this will throw you into combat. This can be fixed by throwing your smoke in accordance.
I think the only thing I’ve learned for certain, is this games confusing.
I figured. Yeah, it's... Weird. But knowing these situations at least helps a little bit.
arno is a freaking madlad man!, he discoverd his fathers killer (françois de la serre), joined the the brother and became a master assassin and got dimped from it, gets a rich girlfriend that DIES, gtes the most powerful sword IN THE WORLD, kills thousands of guards that has familys waiting for them, travel the FULL of paris, and does ALL that with some cardboard sword and some gloves that has knifes in them AND ALL THAT IN 3 FRIKIN HOURS.
he speedruned the LIFE man!.
He sure did!
When I was younger I didnt know you could by new weapons so I basically played with this load out through the story
Sick :D

Hahahaha
Replaying unity rn. Not doing a no upgrades play through like you, but gonna spend far less money now that I see how far you can go without it
Cool, comment again and let me know how it's going and how it feels.
Im lookin forward for another ac challenge. Great video man!
