  • Assassin's Creed Syndicate's one and only DLC; Jack The Ripper released shortly after the full games release in 2015. And believe it or not, I've never played it. So in this video, I discuss my thoughts and opinions on Assassin's Creed Syndicate's Jack The Ripper DLC, which in many ways I believe is better than the base game itself...

    My only complaint is that you can't free roam as Jack. I wish they made a few more missions for him, or even side quests. I also wish that when you complete the dlc, you could unlock Jacob's outfit, which is only playable for one loading screen at the beginning of the dlc

    • @chrismoore5333
      @chrismoore5333 10 місяців тому +31

      Jacob should've had 3 flash back levels instead of the ripper. And for completion of the dlc story, we should've unlocked Jacob for free roam and all side quests. Jacob should've also had half the final level with Evie. That would have been fair considering the main game.

      and that Jacob gets zero lines after he's beaten by Jack. just a couple lines between him and his sister when she saved him would have been nice, imo. also for some reason you can only use the brass knuckles as Evie.

    When i first played this, i expected a twist: That Jack was actually the dark side of Jacob's mind. At some point his tendancy towards mindless violence in the base game caused his personality to split in two. I think it could have been so much cooler to have that be the story. Why is Jacob missing? Cuz the Jack personality took over his mind! It would explain why we can play as him, since we definitely dont have Jack the Ripper's DNA. And Evie at the end would have to rectify her hate for Jack with her love for her brother. Does she finish him off? Does she somehow bring the real Jacob to the surface? So many possibilities! ... But nope, Jack's just an assassin... It was such a huge let down for me in its humdrum simplicity.

      @Dominik40301 4 місяці тому

      Yes, thats why passive points dont work, even if you are level 10 and have allocated passives, they are made only for Blighters, oversight from developers side, because you can see on minimap that these gangmembers in purple are detected as green markers (green ally rooks in main game), so its messed up. First time i noticed something is wrong that enemy gangs started to pick fight with me on streets, even though i have passive point that removes it. But i think main story passive tree does not work for DLC, because Evie does not go into transparent mode when on stealth mode. Probably only Fear passive tree is used.
      Same as World War memory is messed little - Lydia Frye under skill tree is identified as Evie, probably they didnt had will to invest time to fix it.

    The Ubisoft support staff was pretty useless as well I mentioned the bug told me to do some stuff with some files I did the stuff and it changed nothing so eventually I deleted the Jack the ripper save and decided to pick AC Origins during a 85% off sale, Haven't regretted that choice yet.

    London is completely smogged, so the dark streets make it impossible to see anything, meaning you have to stick to the rooftops to stay safe.
    The gang could have functioned as a sort of "insurance policy", if your gang has no influence in the area, you would be in constant danger.

    I think it was so dumb the way they made Evie non lethal. Like, it felt that throughout the story they tried to hint that her methods were twisted and not so different from those of Jack, and it could have been interesting if they didnt make it hard to actually kill people. Evie just punches them. Brutal assassinations are just takedowns and normal assassinations are just takedowns. This makes Evie even less brutal than she was on the main game. Shes basically a saint inside the brotherhood in that dlc. Only way to kill enemies is with the gun or with throwing knifes.
    Which would be fine tbh, if the animations for assassinations werent THE SAME AS THE MAIN GAME. Its SO lazy. You see Evie gently stabbing someone in the stomach, or slicing theirt throat, or breaking their fucking neck, just to hear a sound that resembles a stone hitting a brick wall. And then the enemy does the regular death animation just to snap into a knocked-out position. It was so akward I ended up rushing the main story abusing the very op fear system.
    And I love that Jack was an assassin but oh god his backstory was so rushed and stupid. "Templars killed my mother. Jacob, who later was a father to me, didnt save her cause he was too busy LIBERATING LONDON, and even though he did kill the man responsible (Starrick), therefore avenging my mothers death, I still am gonna become his aprentice to learn his assassin tactics only to turn against him and start killing RANDOM FEMALE ASSASSINS (not that random okay theyre Jacobs apprentices) just to hurt him.
    Wouldve been much better if they said that his mothers death was so gruesome and that he found her dead next to Jacob who was investigating the murder, and thinking he was gilty, he couldnt handle it and went insane. Jacob adopted him as his apprentice later on and Jack hid his madness to learn how to be a perfect assassin and get revenge on who he thought killed his mother. Such a simple and kinda cliche story, but much more credible than "boo hoo you didnt save my mommy so now I am a psychopath serial killer".
    As some exrtra points, why is he so strong? Jacob was master assassin when Jack was at his prime. Jacob is a very skilled assassin considering he managed to do what he did in London. He never got seriously injured and was a walking killing machine. So how is Jack able to overpower him in HAND TO HAND COMBAT? Jacobs specialty?? Its not like Jacob was 60, he was only 40. He was very clearly still fit, such as Evie. Evie, who was indeed able to win ONE TO ONE against Jack, even though melee combat was her weaker side. Did the twins switch roles here or something? And finally, in the final fight, why is stealth the way to end the ripper? Like, are we forgetting that JACK HAD EAGLE VISION???? YOU CANT STEALTH YOUR WAY OUT WHEN YOURE FACING SOMEONE WITH ISU GENES I THOUGHT THIS WAS CLEAR. Unless he for some weird reason decided not to use eagle vision against the most skilled assassin in London.
    Overall as you said, huge potential that kinda got wasted by rushed writing and gameplay mechanics. Fear system is cool, but npcs are idiotic. They run in circles. Its very anticlimatic. Non lethal Evie is fine, but her knockout animations are reused kill animations with a dumb brick sound. Jacobs development was by far the best part of the dlc and they cut it to a 5 minute gameplay sequence and a couple of cutscenes because they needed Jack to be stronger for no real reason so he could keep rippin around.

    I actually liked the idea that Jack the Ripper was a former Assassin. It really makes him more terrifying to me because he's a mentally ill psychopath with training from the best in the business. He's taken that training and twisted it to suit his own purpose. It makes him horrifying and I love it.

    The dlc hit me especially hard when I played a few weeks ago. For those who didn’t put it together, Jack backstory is that his mother was murdered and due to the resulting trauma, he was condemned to Lambeth Asylum as a child. Asylums were nightmareish in Victorian times and Lambeth Asylum is one of the worst. The abuse he suffered there further turned him into what he is now, and Jacob broke him free and took him in.
    I also had to experience the hell of a mental ward. Nowhere near as bad as what probably happened to Jack, but it was enough to destroy me. I struggle with violent thoughts and passion for justice that I fear would result in casualty if not contained. I’m not ashamed to say I want my abusers dead.
    This DLC shook me to my core because I saw myself in Jack. The inhuman things he did I don’t believe myself capable of, but had things been a little different or had my moral compass been just a little more skewed, I could have turned into him. I could have become a monster. And that’s what fucked me up the most.

    Overall, I liked this DLC. While I have no issues with the tone and atmosphere of the main game, as a massive, gloomy, washed-out city being the setting of a whole game sounds rather bland to me, I did enjoy the difference in that of the DLC. Honestly, I don't think the DLC would have been as good if the main game had the same atmosphere, because then it would seem like Jack is barely affecting anyone, rather than terrifying all of Whitechapel and turning it into a depressing hellscape. I did like Jack as a character, both for his incredible design and performance and his decent story, which is about as good as any integration of historical villains in these games has ever been to me. One thing I really liked about the story was that they didn't go with the "Jacob is the Ripper" angle. Aside from the fact that that would feel like the hate sink to end all hate sinks, as it completely spits in the face of his established personality, it would take some real extensive retconning to explain why Jacob was allowed to train Lydia and live past WW1 if he spent 1888 brutally raping and murdering prostitutes/assassins. Edit: Speaking of Lydia, she is born just a few years after this, and she is Jacob's granddaughter, so Jacob has already had a child by the time of this DLC; might have been interesting if the game acknowledged that in any way.
    As for things I disliked, the gameplay had some minor issues. One, why can't Evie use her hidden blade? Whenever she "assassinates" someone, it just knocks them down with a "bonk" sound effect. If the developers were really insistent that you do not kill police, despite every assassin we've ever played as slaughtering them by the thousands, then they could have just added this feature for them. Instead, they did this for every enemy. Two, the weapons. I got pretty tired of the brass knuckle animations after spending ten hours grinding for XP in the fight club, so having them be the exclusive weapon here was not appreciated; I wanted the cane swords. Three, I too wanted more of Jacob.

    • @charliehogben
      @charliehogben 8 місяців тому

      Jacob must have had his child/children not so long after the main story, because Lydia was born in the 1890s so her parents would've been born around the 1870s at least. So it would've been cool to have seen him/her either helping Evie in some way or even just a mention. I also would've liked to have had more time with this older Jacob, him being a lot more serious and mature would've helped people like him a lot more and give him the recognition he really deserves.

    I was a bit disappointed with the final boss and how easy it was. Jack the Ripper is supposed to me a killer not someone who can be taken down easily but as I thought about it more that’s kinda the point. Jack the Ripper isn’t some supernatural entity he is just a man who can be killed just like anyone else. This DLC needed to be longer and many people had a problem with Jack not being playable is free roam. I didn’t have an issue with it. I liked playing as the hero more than the villain. This DLC is good but there could’ve been a few to to expand to make it better.

    Back when this DLC first came out, me and my mate had a theory we were really disappointed never turned out to be true. You keep the story basically the same, with Jack chasing after Jacob and "killing" him at the start. Eve arrives and is investigating her brothers disappearance and has no idea who Jack could be. Near the end of the game when Eve comes face to face with Jack it's reveled Jack IS JACOB. He's lost his mind (maybe added by the fact Eve left him for india) and that fight at the start was the Jack part of his mind taking over. He's lost sight of himself and the Jacob part of his personality is Dead and there's just Jack. I think that would have been a gut retching reveal AND would have added to the mystery angle of Jack the ripper.

    @themagicalblingbling 10 місяців тому +2

    I found this DLC to be extremely lackluster. They could have done an interesting reveal about the Ripper's actual identity, made him a deranged gentleman doctor type (like Malfatto in AC Brotherhood), tied the Ripper to the royal family / government, or labelled an actual historical person as the Ripper. After all, Assassin's Creed has always thrived on and is rooted in conspiracy theories. AC Brotherhood even labelled a living figure as George W. Bush as a puppet for the Templars, so clearly Ubisoft has no scrupules about stamping historical figures, whether alive or dead, as villains. Instead it turns out Jack the Ripper is actually the fictional... Jack... the lad... It baffles the mind how boring that reveal is.
    What a pathetic bit of writing, an absolute low for the series.
