Commie_Sloth Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hey everyone, recently there's been a sale on a lot of AC titles, and I'm interested in picking this one up. My question to all of is this: Is AC Syndicate even worth buying? Is the Gold Edition worth the extra few dollars? Thank you all for your replies. Cheers, Commie_Sloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aric201812 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I quite enjoyed it... it was nice having different characters to use and ubisoft have tuned down some of the collect-a-thon elements so you can get the plat without 100% in-game completion... does the gold include all the dlc?.. the Ripper dlc was ok but quite buggy.. probably worth it for a couple of $ more esp if you want get 100% of the trophies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieroV_86 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 i was thinking getting it but now i changed my mind. gold edition is just the game plus season pass, i suggest you to get the season pass (12€) then get a physical copy of the game later.

Also, Base Game + JTR is more than the Gold Edition, which has a number of more things, so it seems if I wanted to get JTR for completion, Gold Edition is a much better choice. i was thinking getting it but now i changed my mind. gold edition is just the game plus season pass, i suggest you to get the season pass (12€) then get a physical copy of the game later. The Gold Edition has a few numbers on content, but I see where you're coming from. Honestly, while I would save a few dollars, waiting for the physical copy while buying the digital seasons pass seems pretty redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AffectatiousDonk Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Its worth picking up the Jack Ripper DLC, which is probably better than the game I thought. The rest of the season pass stuff is pretty useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I got it. Haven't played it but when I saw it, it was just too good to pass up. I already had $26 saved on the system already so I only had to dish out another $20 to get the gold edition. So in my case it was a steal and a half lol.

vanillamoose Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I loved AC Syndicate but after I downloaded the dlc, my game would freeze upon start up. The only way I could play is if I played offline. I also read that other folks experienced similar issues so just a heads up to those considering the gold edition. Otherwise, AC syndicate is a truly enjoyable game that has renewed my faith in the AC franchise Edited September 22, 2016 by vanillamoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSaiyan3985 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 This game is a monsrosity. I waited over a year to play it despite being a huge AC fan. I got the game for $8 on Black Friday luckily. What were the prices for the base game and the Gold Edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmonic Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) The games not bad quit buggy at times but all around better then Unity. The game has the hook that allows you to get around easier but I wish they kept the combat system from unity and just amped it up a little I found it too easy in combat I do however love playing as Evie she's one of the best characters in the franchise in my opinion besides Ezio and Altair and Edward but back on topic the DLC takes place after the games main storyline and its interesting to say the least but depending on how much it is and scenes you can unlock items from the Ubisoft club menu by using the points you earned from playing other games I would just buy the base game then if you like it purchase the DLC just my opinion though Edited February 23, 2017 by Dmonic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing as a 40 year old evie in the jack the ripper dlc kicking ass and taking names for one. While Jacob was the rooks leader, Evie still did things and they were twins so without the one there wouldn't be the other. Plus her Victorian goth outfit was fuckin amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played JTR DLC yet so please no spoilers. In the main game all Evie did was chase the piece of Eden which she had little success doing. Jacob on the other hand was making progress eliminating Starrick's allies. When Evie talks she has a very stale tone whereas Jacob can be cheerful. Don't even get me started on that ridiculous love interest in Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should definitely play through the dlc before having this strong opinions of dislike towards evie. I think one of the reasons I liked this version the most other than the Victorian setting was the two different personalities of playthrough style. All in all the Frye twins are equally important in mind because they are a duo, and best friends who wouldn't be in the spot their in without eachother.

But I think you and I can agree her relationship with Henry Green was absolutely pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taliesin_2943 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 i found evie to be the more useful if your ging in a place full of enemies for example jacob goes in bashing heads while evie goes in and killes everyne and no one ever knew she was there shes like the ninja and jacobs the barbarian club swinger f the 2 shes actually more the assassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no comparison between the two Jacob is a brut and Evie stalks in the shadows Evie makes the game feel like how an assassin should play where Jacob doesn't really compare he only cares about the rooks and not really about the assassin order where Evies does I played as Evie more then Jacob because of that point but every one has there own opinion in the matter at hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy_Oglop Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I thought that Syndicate was the best AC game since Black Flag. I got the season pass but have yet to play the Jack the Ripper dlc due to the fact that it continuously crashes and lags out. Hoping one day it'll get patched. But for the time being I'd say the core game is worth a play either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamakuraHero Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Maybe a silly question, but here it goes, found the gold physical edition used for 9.99 euros. Does the season pass comes as a code or all the content is in the disc? Thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
