I can confirm after completing Mirage that the Stealth was very enjoyable plus the throwing knives got a seriously good upgrade by getting a skill to slow time a smidge and throw the blade while in the air
Man i always return to unity because of the parkour and stealth, its always such a good vibe. Arno is so stylish with his moves and the world is so well done, i just wished unity had a more time in the oven to perfect it.
One thing that I'll never get tired of is being a blade in the crowd just walking up to people then killing them then walking back into the crowd is always so goddamn cool
AC3 did have assassin “recruits” though they were not as good or apparent as in brotherhood and took more of a grind to unlock all of them. While I agree the rpg games don’t have good stealth tools or mechanics, I actually found I played those games more stealthy than some past games. I spent more time being deliberate, hiding bodies, sneaking and planning. Saw a video from another AC RUclipsrs names “So Says Jay” about the illusion of AC that relates to this idea.
What I liked about recruits in AC3 is that they're actual characters with stories, like Stephane Chapheau or the kid in the opera in the first mission with Haytham
ACIII recruits are by far the best of the whole series, they have a dedicated menu that offers a lot of options to prepare for attacks and respond to all situations. It’s just a huge invitation to creativity.
Ah yes, I mistook ac3 and black flag, because at the time of making the video I wrote about black flag before AC3 and I guess it fucked with my brain when I was recording. AC3 does have recruits yes.
Since I’ve played mirage, I think the stealth is amazing, especially out of the rpg games. It might even be tied with unity in terms of stealth for me.
Syndicate to me was best suited for Stealth. It had an actual sneak button and got rid of Unity's stupid L2 being sneak (which made aiming for gadgets or weapons very confusing, and Syndicate streamlined it very much)
Only way to make stealth useful pretty sure I also did that it’s been awhile since I last played and rather not download it then just to delete it again in the same day
@@Man.amistupid I haven't played it so my top for stealth would be either Revelations, 4, or Unity. I was tempted to Syndicate over Unity but I haven't played the former in years so I might be misremembering it having those gameplay improvements. Tired old mind rambling
Syndicate has probably the best stealth in my opinion. The blackbox assassinations were so fun Edit: Now that I‘ve played AC mirage, I‘d say it is the second or the best stealth system in the series. The tools and the assassin’s focus ability were very fun to use.
@@chillhouse2490syndicate has better stealth but it often feels like unity on training wheels, the entire parkour system in syndicate is almost identical down to the animations from Unity, but with the freedom of that movement locked behind a cell, you can't jump off buildings, you can't eject unless you're extremely close to another roof, and I can prove it's unity locked up because there's a glitch in syndicate where sometimes you can jump off a building, then it remembers you're not meant to and you desynchronize
@@Master_Kenwayyeah me too, although I like this style of content more, MasterAssassin has put more time in perfecting what he does so I can see your opinion Edit: for more elaboration, I enjoy tier lists and rankings, but MasterAssassin chooses his words more carefully and smartly so he sounds like he knows more about AC than The Hidden One
MasterAssassin's content is top tier purely becacuse, well it's his job. I have my own job, aswell as my university studies. I've also started making videos a couple months ago and suprisingly grew quite fast. (Thank you
Brotherhood also has the Borgia towers you have to take, most of which have a map layout with enemy patrols around that are awesome for a stealth approach. It's completely optional, but I remember spending a lot of time planning how to take a tower without being seen, and it was super fun
Tbf in defense of Oddysey, atleast you had a whole stealth section which could allow you to become invisible, one shot enemies, use chain assasination etc. It probably has the best and the worst stealth as the same time
@@TheSupinesmokey yeah. I think the problem with Stealth really is that unless you are a high level player with all the skill tree unlocked, you won't experience the true worth of Stealth. The lack of gadgets don't help too. If I had to say I did still put oddysey over AC1, Valhalla and Origins because these games are even more lacking in stealth
Becoming invisible ruins the fun, oneshotting enemies shouldn't be something you unlock in an AC game and chaining assassinations should be skill dependent...
tho I wish less of the stealth missions were indoors. Roaming around in the corridors of some building didn't feel as badass as parkouring around like a badass. Could have given us more outdoor stealth.
im so glad youre not close minded and dont just hate on the rpg games like a lot of the ac fans. i was never interested in origins because of how poorly it was talked of but my friend recommended it and i gave it a try and im absolutely loving it. your videos are fantastic and its always nice hearing an honest but fair opinion
One thing that bothered me in the old Assassin's Creed games was the inability to crouch, which made stealth mode more challenging. When AC Unity introduced crouching, it made it much easier to outsmart enemies.
to be clear... there are assassin's recruit in ac3 maybe some people not know the liberation mission (IDK if that's a mission or an side quest i forgot it...) but when you complete all of it you will end up on the characters that you will recruit as your fellow mates in stealth combat and even guarding you as you roaming around in both boston and new york
saving this vid for later as i gotta go., but i gotta say, Mirage makes me happy. actually sneaking around. I really try to not be detected and have progressed thru the game with not many scuffles. its fun subbed and liked.
In Revalation you can throw sticky bombs to the back of enemies and blow them up or make smike bomb ho off or whatever type you wanted to use . There was a type of recruitment system in AC3 but not the same as the Ezio games you have to do certain sidemissions in each city to recruit specific people that have their own benefits like a sniper and guy that would cause citizens to riot. Origins hidden blade can be upgraded very early in the game using the eagle you can look for animals that had the type of materials you need to upgrade it & go get it . Valhalla is the worst when it comes to stealth they give you all kinds of options for stealth like how much of a window you have before being fully detected while aiming & not aiming & how long soldiers will search for you & none of that seems to matter. A guy a mile away will detect me sometimes while guards will sometimes just stand there while I kill a group of their friends. I think it depends on the stealth settings but they can go from the meter being white to instantly red and if it turns yellow in older games it meant you have a chance to flea or fight but in Valhalla it seems like it just means fight because when it turns yellow everything moves in slow motion even Eivor it's like she is in quicksand when I try to run away until the meter turns red then you have no choice but to fight. There's certain times that I can get away while the meter is yellow but even if I break line of sight the meter continues to turn red. I have tried to report this ss a bug at first they sent me a link how to change stealth settings and I tell them I know how to change stealth settings and they ask me to upload a video as unlisted to RUclips and give them a link & I did they say thanks for the link & details we'll send it to our gameplay department and if they find anything wrong with it they could fix it in future updates . I don't know if they even have a gameplay department & they haven't fixed it yet so I am not that much a fan of Ubisoft anymore. I will have to wait & see what people say before I get Mirage I think because I don't think Ubisoft really cares about the fans.
I didn't like that most of the stealth in AC Unity was indoors. Just wandering around some giant building corridors instead of parkouring all around the streets like a badass felt underwhelming. Maybe it's just me.
I personally feel that syndicate had a much better and polished stealth system than Unity. 1. The ability to whistle 2. The ability to hide bodies 3. The cover system was so much better and less janky 4. The ability to assassinate from zip lines opened many possibilities for stealth. 5. Overall better blackbox missions (IMO) 6. The addition of the kidnapping feature was really good 7. If you say Evie's disappearing feature was weird then what would you say for Arno's ability to change his entire appearance into to literally anyone. Unity also has a good stleath system but I feel it lacks some of the key features from Syndicate ALSO NO WAY YOU PUT BROTHERHOOD ABOVE SYNDICATE!
Bcz brotherhood is also great, I have one problem with syndicate, if ssi indicator appear on enemy the character instead of assassinating he/she straight up go to combat
You’re fucking right, the stealth system of Syndicate is practically more complete with more possibilities than that of Unity. To say that it is better Unity is impossible.
AC3 had the best recruits. while i still love the randoms you save from the streets in brotherhood and revelations, AC3 gave you a lot more options with them. they could shoot from roof tops, start riots, act as bodyguards when you walk into enemy zones, disguise themselves as guards, and you can pretend to be a prisoner to get past enemy checkpoints! that one alone makes them way more useful than anyothers in my opinion
23:03 fun fact: you can learn that move in AC II in training grounds at Monteriggioni, alongside spear and heavy weapon special, gun intimidation and the most powerfull of them all: POCKET SAND
Origins had the perfect oppertunity for amazing stealth. But sadly the developers focused too much on combat and less so on the different stealth aspects of the game. The only reason I like Origins is because of Bayek, his story and Egypt really.
@@xAzrael_This largely depends on how good your predator bow is and the difference in levels between you and your opponents, but in general, it is impossible to eliminate a fort with just this bow.
I disagree with unity stealth being more polished than Syndicate, I felt it was the other way around honestly, Syndicate's stealth is way better and more accessible due to the newly added kidnap feature with that ability I never failed a stealth video while recording.
I agree. I haven’t struggled with stealth in any ac game except unity. Syndicate had whistle, throwing knives and the assassination missions were much better
Hey mate. Congrats on the quick growth. You're doing great! Didn't want to comment on the post incase I somehow won. Don't want to take that from someone. But yea man, you came in running and you are being rewarded for your hard work. Keep it up. Hope you make it to 100k in no time :)
the assassin missions they did in unity and syndicate were my absolute favorites. It seemed like they took inspiration from the hitman series and I had wanted to see that so bad, its what really puts those games at the top of the list for me, but unity more so for the setting and crowds. I hope they return to that style, a game where I actually feel like an assassin, waiting in the shadows, not a blood soaked warrior cutting through the front line. I do love me some brotherhood though. I loved that games approach to stealth, and it really tried to nail that 'grayman' stealth, hiding in plain sight. with many different options. yea it could be lame sitting on a bench but it felt appropriate to me, biding my time. That's actually something I missed in Unity, I wanted more of that 'social stealth' of sorts. It had hiding in crowds i think but that was about it. Also, that multiplayer in brotherhood was amazing at the time. stressful
syndiace’s combat is my favourite bruh, ac3 and black flag and rogue and unity all work the same too so i dont see how its bad because of button mashing
I think rogue is probably the most underrated ac game, and the stealth is really fun, especially with the rifle. But again, its just black flag with more.
AC 3 had one of my favorite steAlth like feel. That is not proper English but being able to climb from tree to tree stalking a group of British was awesome
The stealth for unity was so fun but it just lacked more tools to use and how the guards can detect you alot quicker an realistically. However, it kind of lacked polishing
Ac odyssey stealth is extremely underrated, if you make an actual stealth build instead of being stealth with a build made to kill like miste people, you can kill anyone without being noticed, even if you dont kill them with the stealth attack, if you uses abilities that won’t throw the enemy away or make a ton of sound you can get away with it Also there is literally an item that duplicates your assassination damage by reducing your health to 25%, you can kill anyone with that but you will die if you get detected, that’s the more balanced stealth you can get in any ac game, a fuck ton of damage to kill anyone if you have enough Adrenalin bars and insanely broken abilities, but you actually need to kill people in an order that will allow you to regain adrenaline, and if you get caught or in an open fight you will most surely die, that’s great stealth right there In any other ac games whenever I get caught I just kill everyone, no tension at all
I view AC Odyssey as simply a more realistic version of stealth since you are fighting people on full plate armor and unlike in later games you are not trained to go for the efficient one shot kills but instead to be a soldier fighting dozens of people at once hence why you can’t assassinate everyone in one shot
Unities stealth is great...when it actually works. I've had stealth opportunities ruined too many times by the phantom blade glitching, the bombs failing despite being right in line of sight with the guard I'm aiming at, but somehow alerting a giard that isn't even on the same floor, or a guard seeing me through a literal wall.
true, often the enemy will just ignore the cherry bomb or not come close enough to investigate it, as though he's only scripted to be suspicious for a limited amount of time... if only Arno could whistle.
I think the only RPG entry with bad stealth is Valhalla (bc it’s broken). Origins and Odyssey allow for very fun stealth approaches. Mirage has excellent stealth. Rivals the best in the series. Looking forward to an updated video.
Valhalla stealth is very bad. Origins and Odyssey stealth is viable and fun. Valhalla tried to mask it's poor stealth with the return of "social stealth" which is just smoke and mirrors.
No way Assassin's Creed 3 came lower than 1, 2, brotherhood and revelations !!!! AC3 just revolutionized stealth in the series PS: Did not expect Brotherhood to be in the 2nd place!
It's very weird how one of the least liked AC games have arguably the best stealth together with Unity, Syndicate and Unity had similar flaws but similar good things.
i kind of disagree with Odyssey. If you put in the work, I think the stealth is great. Also I was one shot assassinating most guards or captains so it's about how you play.
The problem with Odyssey is that first you have to pick skills in it and second you have to be at right level/with right equipment. And that is a bit bad for game called Assassin. Im right now replaying this game and it is annoying that at 3 level i can sneak next to a guard and take only half of his HP because i went into wrong direction on map and im in section with 4lvl enemies and not in 2-3lvl. It is strange that you cant kill someone with hit to the neck because they have one level thicker neck than you :D and because of it you cant do anything in area that would include being undetected because you cant kill without being detected.
Even though you’re right, I just don’t care. I just went in there wanting the smoke with everyone and I didn’t care I was playing an AC game. I was legit having fun with the combat.
This is one list where I'd be alright with AC1 being lower on the list. It's functional but but later games had stealth tools and moves like ledge assassination. The one pillar of AC that pretty much fell flat in AC1.
Evie with Stealth mission is incredibly good and she's better om most missions in syndicate but in all honesty Unity is the epitome of stealth and I love it
I think the best stealth was before Origins, and now we have Mirage, wanna play it to taste it all. Here's my opinion: AC1:The first one really has some stealth,but not as much as other ones. Like yeah, you can blend, but that's all. AC2:Better, can normally blend in, use smokes, or even people. You have more possibilities to kill, that's why I like it. ACB:Same here, but it added parachute, so mid air assassinations can be performed. Many new instruments, and many possibilities ACR:same with the ACB, but has zipline AC3:Made some empoverments, added bushes, some places like people near the wall, hide at the corner, even blend like you're tasting something. AC:IV:Same with AC3 AC:Rogue:Kinda same AC:Unity:Made improvements, added cover system, many other things. AC:Syndicate:Same with Unity, but kinda better. The main focus in my style is: 1) Find a good place to see everything 2) Make a good plan to kill everyone as stealth as possible 3) Flee if noticed 4) Run after a successful hunt
AC Odyssey atleast added a guranteed assassination option with the knife of walldun since it can one shot everyone that is at or below the weapon level. Meaning at level 99 everyone is one shotable. It's not the most optimum thing, but it's there
I was so overjoyed to see Brotherhood so high on this list, and even happier when you said it was in a close race with Unity, which a lot of people would say has the best stealth and parkour hands down. I give the edge to Unity, despite Brotherhood being my overall favorite, because of the unique ways you could infiltrate restricted areas and take down your targets. I don't know if it was rushed development or what, but the flaws Unity has killed an amazing future for Assassin's Creed. Rogue definitely should have been developed after Unity. That would have given Unity more time to fix issues, given us a better time gap to callback to AC3, given a major plot twist on Shay and Charles Dorian (rather than being dependant on which game you played first), and perhaps given Rogue unique gameplay mechanics as opposed to the copy and paste of AC4 that it actually has now. Plus, we could have gotten the Arno revenge sequel after Syndicate instead of the RPG games. Seriously, the Rogue/Unity co-release dropped the ball on so many levels in hindsight, and it is tragic.
Now that Mirage is out, how would you rank it? I would put it in the top 2, equal with unity or maybe better. I'm not good with ranking things so I would just put Unity and Mirage in the same spot.
If your crit is high enough in Odyssey, you can one-shot almost anything via stealth. I took out an enemy Templar that was 12 levels higher than me. I do agree with the other points about Odyssey, though.
I think although AC1 isn't as polished nor does it have all of the features that would be introduced in sequels, something about the build up to the assassinations and the intensity of the chases afterwards made stealth particularly exciting to me in AC1 that a lot of sequels just don't reach that same level for me
Ac1 had the best stealth, no over abundance of utility like smoke, sleeping/berserk darts, pistol, bow, etc. Just your skill in blending and not being spotted. Only range were the limited throwing knives you got.
Ac odyssey feels like old school tenchu to me all it needs is a grapple But other then that its mint So satisfying the abilities,mercenaries system,cult systems, ships mechanics and exploration is top notch from ubi So underrated
AC1 has some of the best stealth in the series imo. Not only most assasination missions wants you to be stealthy it's actually hard to fight against enemies until you get parry leading you to be stealthy or run away from them using the parkour. AC2 and onwards turns too much into power fantasy with the tools Ezio and Connor and Edward etc. has.
But i disagree on Odyssey have a lack luster stealth mechanic First of all it had one of the best stealth mechanics in the game minus social stealth the best skill tree in my opinion three armor sets tailor maid for stealth Question how can level gate a game that is level cap at 99 and correct me if i am wrong but isn't there a skill allowing the use of smoke as temporary agro stun for enemies
So after I've played all of the Assassin's Creed Games i have to say that Mirage has probably the best stealth in my opinion. The level design is perfect for Stealth. There wasn't a single time where i had to sneak in somewhere to either kill someone or steal something that felt too much crowded with guards in a way that stealth wouldn't be possible. All the tools you have work perfectly and i felt many times proud of myself at how i used my tools and how i approached the stealth in a mission. It felt so rewarding. Untity is good but i has some issues on stealth that makes it worse than Mirage's stealth in every way. Like some places are unreasonably filled with guards and oh boy if someone sees you, for some reason they can call guards from miles away, not to mention that many times guards detect you too easily.
I think the worst stealth was definitely black flag, no crouching, standing up gets you immediately investigated, and hiding in bushes was just annoying

Unity also has a good stleath system but I feel it lacks some of the key features from Syndicate
ALSO NO WAY YOU PUT BROTHERHOOD ABOVE SYNDICATE!
True i enjoyed syndicate so much
Bcz brotherhood is also great, I have one problem with syndicate, if ssi indicator appear on enemy the character instead of assassinating he/she straight up go to combat
Yeah. I'm still not convinced that Unity's is better
You’re fucking right, the stealth system of Syndicate is practically more complete with more possibilities than that of Unity. To say that it is better Unity is impossible.
AC3 had the best recruits. while i still love the randoms you save from the streets in brotherhood and revelations, AC3 gave you a lot more options with them. they could shoot from roof tops, start riots, act as bodyguards when you walk into enemy zones, disguise themselves as guards, and you can pretend to be a prisoner to get past enemy checkpoints! that one alone makes them way more useful than anyothers in my opinion
This man needs more subscribers.
23:03 fun fact: you can learn that move in AC II in training grounds at Monteriggioni, alongside spear and heavy weapon special, gun intimidation and the most powerfull of them all: POCKET SAND
Underrated❤
i actually think origins has a really good stealth system and perfected the environmental stealth of the rpgs
Origins had the perfect oppertunity for amazing stealth. But sadly the developers focused too much on combat and less so on the different stealth aspects of the game. The only reason I like Origins is because of Bayek, his story and Egypt really.
nah, every single scenario can just be completed fully with the predator bow
@@xAzrael_This largely depends on how good your predator bow is and the difference in levels between you and your opponents, but in general, it is impossible to eliminate a fort with just this bow.
Yeah, Origins' stealth is pretty underrated, better and more fun than many games from the pre-RPG era.
Was mad at ur ac3 placement but then you nailed the #1 so perfect it can be forgiven lol
for Odyssey you combine the Pilgrim armor and "Shadow of Nyx" ability you can become invisible at will, if that's not stealth I don't know what is
Exactly
@@nestormelendez9005 nope, I got easy just follow the RUclips video and you can get it early on, then devote the points into the skill, and profit
My first assassin's Creed game was Black flag and then i fell in love with it
I disagree with unity stealth being more polished than Syndicate, I felt it was the other way around honestly, Syndicate's stealth is way better and more accessible due to the newly added kidnap feature with that ability I never failed a stealth video while recording.
I agree. I haven’t struggled with stealth in any ac game except unity. Syndicate had whistle, throwing knives and the assassination missions were much better
I love your videos man
Hey mate. Congrats on the quick growth. You're doing great! Didn't want to comment on the post incase I somehow won. Don't want to take that from someone. But yea man, you came in running and you are being rewarded for your hard work. Keep it up. Hope you make it to 100k in no time :)
I appreciate that. That means a lot. Your content is stuff I watch quite often, so keep it up too
@@TheHiddenOne690 cheers mate. Try my best with the limited time I have.
the assassin missions they did in unity and syndicate were my absolute favorites. It seemed like they took inspiration from the hitman series and I had wanted to see that so bad, its what really puts those games at the top of the list for me, but unity more so for the setting and crowds. I hope they return to that style, a game where I actually feel like an assassin, waiting in the shadows, not a blood soaked warrior cutting through the front line.
I do love me some brotherhood though. I loved that games approach to stealth, and it really tried to nail that 'grayman' stealth, hiding in plain sight. with many different options. yea it could be lame sitting on a bench but it felt appropriate to me, biding my time. That's actually something I missed in Unity, I wanted more of that 'social stealth' of sorts. It had hiding in crowds i think but that was about it. Also, that multiplayer in brotherhood was amazing at the time. stressful
i am still playing unity till now and i didn't get the same fun from any other game crazy how a game from 2014 can be this good.
Assassin’s creed syndicate had really good stealth but the combat system is not that good
Combat in syndicate just requires button mashing, that's the main problem
syndiace’s combat is my favourite bruh, ac3 and black flag and rogue and unity all work the same too so i dont see how its bad because of button mashing
in ac1 u can insta counter kill with one click and in ac2 u sometimes have to repeat the counter up to 4 times on a single enemy to kill them
I think rogue is probably the most underrated ac game, and the stealth is really fun, especially with the rifle. But again, its just black flag with more.
Man i always loved using the “crossbow” as well
Mirage has a amazing stealth system
AC 3 had one of my favorite steAlth like feel. That is not proper English but being able to climb from tree to tree stalking a group of British was awesome
Really cool feature of Unity is that you can use phantom blade while doing leap of faith
What outfit did you use for Evie in the syndicate section
The stealth for unity was so fun but it just lacked more tools to use and how the guards can detect you alot quicker an realistically. However, it kind of lacked polishing
ac3 has recruits and ac1 doesn’t have haystack kills or roof ledge kills
What is that black outfit you used I. The origins clip 1:35
Ac odyssey stealth is extremely underrated, if you make an actual stealth build instead of being stealth with a build made to kill like miste people, you can kill anyone without being noticed, even if you dont kill them with the stealth attack, if you uses abilities that won’t throw the enemy away or make a ton of sound you can get away with it
Also there is literally an item that duplicates your assassination damage by reducing your health to 25%, you can kill anyone with that but you will die if you get detected, that’s the more balanced stealth you can get in any ac game, a fuck ton of damage to kill anyone if you have enough Adrenalin bars and insanely broken abilities, but you actually need to kill people in an order that will allow you to regain adrenaline, and if you get caught or in an open fight you will most surely die, that’s great stealth right there
In any other ac games whenever I get caught I just kill everyone, no tension at all
I view AC Odyssey as simply a more realistic version of stealth since you are fighting people on full plate armor and unlike in later games you are not trained to go for the efficient one shot kills but instead to be a soldier fighting dozens of people at once hence why you can’t assassinate everyone in one shot
In slight defense of Odyssey, there is a flashbomb skill that does disorient close enemies but its still lackluster.
Unities stealth is great...when it actually works. I've had stealth opportunities ruined too many times by the phantom blade glitching, the bombs failing despite being right in line of sight with the guard I'm aiming at, but somehow alerting a giard that isn't even on the same floor, or a guard seeing me through a literal wall.
true, often the enemy will just ignore the cherry bomb or not come close enough to investigate it, as though he's only scripted to be suspicious for a limited amount of time... if only Arno could whistle.
Mirage is the best for stealth. You were almost right in your prediction. 😊
I think the only RPG entry with bad stealth is Valhalla (bc it’s broken). Origins and Odyssey allow for very fun stealth approaches.
Mirage has excellent stealth. Rivals the best in the series. Looking forward to an updated video.
Valhalla stealth is very bad. Origins and Odyssey stealth is viable and fun. Valhalla tried to mask it's poor stealth with the return of "social stealth" which is just smoke and mirrors.
No way Assassin's Creed 3 came lower than 1, 2, brotherhood and revelations !!!! AC3 just revolutionized stealth in the series
PS: Did not expect Brotherhood to be in the 2nd place!
It's very weird how one of the least liked AC games have arguably the best stealth together with Unity, Syndicate and Unity had similar flaws but similar good things.
i kind of disagree with Odyssey. If you put in the work, I think the stealth is great. Also I was one shot assassinating most guards or captains so it's about how you play.
The problem with Odyssey is that first you have to pick skills in it and second you have to be at right level/with right equipment. And that is a bit bad for game called Assassin. Im right now replaying this game and it is annoying that at 3 level i can sneak next to a guard and take only half of his HP because i went into wrong direction on map and im in section with 4lvl enemies and not in 2-3lvl. It is strange that you cant kill someone with hit to the neck because they have one level thicker neck than you :D and because of it you cant do anything in area that would include being undetected because you cant kill without being detected.
@@Just_a-guyskill issue odyssey was better than origins and Valhalla
@@3levated_ivan831 so the fact that in the game called assassin's creed I can't assassinate guy who has one level higher then I is skill issue?
Even though you’re right, I just don’t care. I just went in there wanting the smoke with everyone and I didn’t care I was playing an AC game. I was legit having fun with the combat.
You’re completely right, he was just playing how he played assassins creed 1
you can have a great time using those sleep darts and the chain assassination ability in origins !
This is one list where I'd be alright with AC1 being lower on the list. It's functional but but later games had stealth tools and moves like ledge assassination. The one pillar of AC that pretty much fell flat in AC1.
Evie with Stealth mission is incredibly good and she's better om most missions in syndicate but in all honesty Unity is the epitome of stealth and I love it
I think the best stealth was before Origins, and now we have Mirage, wanna play it to taste it all. Here's my opinion:
AC1:The first one really has some stealth,but not as much as other ones. Like yeah, you can blend, but that's all.
AC2:Better, can normally blend in, use smokes, or even people. You have more possibilities to kill, that's why I like it.
ACB:Same here, but it added parachute, so mid air assassinations can be performed. Many new instruments, and many possibilities
ACR:same with the ACB, but has zipline
AC3:Made some empoverments, added bushes, some places like people near the wall, hide at the corner, even blend like you're tasting something.
AC:IV:Same with AC3
AC:Rogue:Kinda same
AC:Unity:Made improvements, added cover system, many other things.
AC:Syndicate:Same with Unity, but kinda better.
The main focus in my style is:
1) Find a good place to see everything
2) Make a good plan to kill everyone as stealth as possible
3) Flee if noticed
4) Run after a successful hunt
I feel like origins’ stealth was really good with like completing the Roman akropolis or pissa oros citadel were soooo fun
AC Odyssey atleast added a guranteed assassination option with the knife of walldun since it can one shot everyone that is at or below the weapon level. Meaning at level 99 everyone is one shotable. It's not the most optimum thing, but it's there
I was so overjoyed to see Brotherhood so high on this list, and even happier when you said it was in a close race with Unity, which a lot of people would say has the best stealth and parkour hands down. I give the edge to Unity, despite Brotherhood being my overall favorite, because of the unique ways you could infiltrate restricted areas and take down your targets.
I don't know if it was rushed development or what, but the flaws Unity has killed an amazing future for Assassin's Creed. Rogue definitely should have been developed after Unity. That would have given Unity more time to fix issues, given us a better time gap to callback to AC3, given a major plot twist on Shay and Charles Dorian (rather than being dependant on which game you played first), and perhaps given Rogue unique gameplay mechanics as opposed to the copy and paste of AC4 that it actually has now.
Plus, we could have gotten the Arno revenge sequel after Syndicate instead of the RPG games.
Seriously, the Rogue/Unity co-release dropped the ball on so many levels in hindsight, and it is tragic.
Hi love ur vids
I think rogue had really good stealth opportunities and missions
5:11 howd u get the shield off bayeks back? ive been trying for years
quite a process.
www.reddit.com/r/assassinscreed/comments/gql21f/yes_it_is_possible_to_remove_your_bows_and_shield/
You should do the same with parkour or maybe maps?
take a shot every time he says “Assassins Creed” 😂
Now that Mirage is out, how would you rank it? I would put it in the top 2, equal with unity or maybe better. I'm not good with ranking things so I would just put Unity and Mirage in the same spot.
If your crit is high enough in Odyssey, you can one-shot almost anything via stealth. I took out an enemy Templar that was 12 levels higher than me. I do agree with the other points about Odyssey, though.
My picks for best stealths
1. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
2. Assassin’s Creed Mirage
3. Assassin’s Creed Origins
- regarding AC
Ac valhalla has better stealth in every way, one shot stealth, social stealth. All that origins doesnt have.
I think although AC1 isn't as polished nor does it have all of the features that would be introduced in sequels, something about the build up to the assassinations and the intensity of the chases afterwards made stealth particularly exciting to me in AC1 that a lot of sequels just don't reach that same level for me
Ac1 had the best stealth, no over abundance of utility like smoke, sleeping/berserk darts, pistol, bow, etc. Just your skill in blending and not being spotted. Only range were the limited throwing knives you got.
AC2 or Brotherhood are a close second imo.
Ac odyssey feels like old school tenchu to me all it needs is a grapple
But other then that its mint
So satisfying the abilities,mercenaries system,cult systems, ships mechanics and exploration is top notch from ubi
So underrated
😅 my first game was odyssey which was okay but when i played the ezio collection i was blown away
assassins creed iceberg when???
AC1 has some of the best stealth in the series imo. Not only most assasination missions wants you to be stealthy it's actually hard to fight against enemies until you get parry leading you to be stealthy or run away from them using the parkour. AC2 and onwards turns too much into power fantasy with the tools Ezio and Connor and Edward etc. has.
I 100% agree all the utilities make stealth more of just ranged takedowns
How did you get the templar outfit in ac Syndicate
20:29 "I just fell to my knees in a walmart"
Unity is a perfect Assassin's Creed Game, I hope they do more like it
What’s that glowing blade you got in ac odyssey
But i disagree on Odyssey have a lack luster stealth mechanic
First of all it had one of the best stealth mechanics in the game minus social stealth the best skill tree in my opinion three armor sets tailor maid for stealth
Question how can level gate a game that is level cap at 99 and correct me if i am wrong but isn't there a skill allowing the use of smoke as temporary agro stun for enemies
So after I've played all of the Assassin's Creed Games i have to say that Mirage has probably the best stealth in my opinion. The level design is perfect for Stealth. There wasn't a single time where i had to sneak in somewhere to either kill someone or steal something that felt too much crowded with guards in a way that stealth wouldn't be possible. All the tools you have work perfectly and i felt many times proud of myself at how i used my tools and how i approached the stealth in a mission. It felt so rewarding.
Untity is good but i has some issues on stealth that makes it worse than Mirage's stealth in every way. Like some places are unreasonably filled with guards and oh boy if someone sees you, for some reason they can call guards from miles away, not to mention that many times guards detect you too easily.
I think the worst stealth was definitely black flag, no crouching, standing up gets you immediately investigated, and hiding in bushes was just annoying
I did play the remaster of BF so it might be different
You are totally right parkour stealth combat world graphics story an unmatched game😏
Mirages placement is pretty accurate.
