Unfortunately, no. There is still a bunch of great content though. If you are getting the PS4 version there are some interesting murder mystery missions.

Yeah, AC2 and Brotherhood had some awesome platforming puzzle sections.
Oh, yeah, Sequences start on the Train's board.It was weird I had to trigger the story through the train, not sure why. Thanks though

The Jack the Ripper trophies have appeared now, so it should release shortly, hopefully in the first week of December.
Is there a list of these somewhere online? Couldn't find them with a search and I'm definitely curious to see what sort of things the DLC will be doing.
A list is up for the Xbox achievements: http://www.xboxachievements.com/game/assassins-creed-syndicate/achievements/ (at the bottom).
In terms of the tasks you have to do, they're the same. Last one is a major spoiler though.

What happened to them? did Ubisoft explain why they haven't featured them sins?

I've played quite a bit of this game and I definitely like it. I just wish the grapple up was more seemless. I should be able to run along, look up and very quickly grapple up. Probably my only real complaint.
If you haven't played one since 2 you're in for a great surprise. Skipping every few games, you'll notice huge differences for the better.
Yeah. Fairly certain that's just the intro one. They're not all available at once.
I'm talking about the second one with that particular enemy.

General consensus is that graphics are worse but dynamic day/night cycle and improved stability/framerate are worth the trade-off.

PC too?
Played Unity on PC and I'm playing this on PC and honestly I think Syndicate looks much nicer. The ugly LOD buildings are gone, the weird vaseline on everything is gone, the art direction is much nicer... imo it's a much prettier game, even if it's not *technically* as advanced.
I honestly like the different mood the game gives now. Day and night cycle alone are awesome. but having fog can make some of the setting really creepy and awesome. Even when the lighting is not as detailed and nice as Unity. I do have to agree that Syndicate has a better direction. Really making the game stand out.
Unity was a piece of work tho. One of the most detailed cities i have ever seen. SO just different types of art directions. Both good on what they achieve and try to do. Also, Unity had an abundance of interiors that looked so good.
The LOD in Syndicate to me is more apparent tho. Some really ugly work in some of them. This is a game that would really benefit from Simplygon.
All in all, i think the game is a blast and quite nice looking.
They just need to allow more ini file changes for people who want to experiment. If somebody wants to push draw distance and LOD distance let them do it. Hardware will be more and more powerful so ini tweaks would be nice.
Not yet.

Playing with keyboard and mouse?
Yes
IT seems like a massive oversight considering it seems to be a major component of the kidnapping radius circle

Seems to par for the course when it comes to big PC ports, unfortunately.
Dragon Age: Inquisition particularly pissed me off in this regard.

DA:I's PC controls are fucking dreadful. I don't understand why, the other two are a dream on PC. Really disappointing.

You know what, after installing the patch last night I thought the same thing. I'm still going to test it out but I did notice it more smoother.
Use Reshade Mediator and apply SMAA to the game.
Yea. Its not a big issue on PC. But Simplygon really does some wonders with LODs, specially with open worlds like this. Totally worth its price. AND! you tend to get better LODs than some of the blocky LODs around.
Not a complain, again. .ini files and pc freedom to tweak is my standard.

I might replay it or finish off the queen Victoria missions (completed the main story) if I can tear myself away from fallout 4.
I've noticed that the patches the developers put out always seem to benefit the ps4 better than the Xbox one. It happened with black flag, the witcher and now unity. It's good to see
Garrett Hawke

You can't tweak this tho :/ the .ini files if they exist are all packaged away, out of reach.
Does anyone else feel like all of the Frye's lines when talking with NPCs sound like they're flirting, lol
Aleck, Attaway, Henry (obviously in Evie's case for this one)...
Oh really? i have not taken a look at the .ini file yet. That surprises me.
Yes... Both are pretty flirty. Evie is cute tho, so its kinda nice.

I mean they said that but the PC version showed that the crowds were incredibly CPU bound and performance analysis of the console versions always showed large crowds as being stress points.

Noticed this immediately. Much smoother. But one annoying thing they didn't adjust is how slowly you regain speed after climbing to a rooftop with your hood on (aka while crouching). There's always this slight pause before you go back to sprinting.
Also, the quad kill animations are so over the top lol

Played a bit more around with the new patch, and the fps has definitely been improved. There's much less dropped frames around the busier areas. It's an improvements that's for sure, still not 100% solid but I'm pleased with the improvement. Hopefully UBI are still working on more optimisation.
Crossing Eden
Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
It was part of the problem. Frankly I find the game quite crowded already lol, imagine this game with Unity's number of npcs. O.O Maybe next gen.

The shittiest thing about Unity's crowds was getting slowed down to indoor running speeds while running through them.

Yea. You could always tell the exact moment where Arno would slow down.

Was it, though, from a performance perspective?
It didn't seem like the size of the crowd really affected my frame rate much at all in Unity.

They weren't the main culprit it seems but they were an issue. Also just downloaded the patch. Movement feels a lot better without the pausing when you want to climb and it seems like they fixed some of the slight animation issues with the high profile assassination animations. Yes!
EDIT: Jack the Ripper dlc seems to be focused on
Evie.

The animations can look really silly with the cartoon blood and the fact that the environment no longer reacts with the blood. So weird!Also, the quad kill animations are so over the top lol

I love how the enemy in the middle of the screen in the second one literally stands still doing nothing while she punches the shit out of everyone else.
These GIFs almost sold me on the game - but seriously, when are we going to return to brawler combat design where the enemies constantly attack from any angle? It's what they'd do in real life goddamnit.
