Assassin's Creed Rogue

Yeh
Play assassin's Creed rogue
You will play as a gift templar and kills assassins

There is no good or bad guys, templars are seen as bad to assassins

All that changes is thair methods assassins wants peace and freedom threw free will while templars wants to controll the world to create peace

Its a gray area where neither is bad. All games u play as an assassin except rogue where u play as an assassin turned templar

Assassin's Creed Rogue.
Shay (the main character) starts off as an assassin but after the assassins cause an earthquake he leaves and joins the Templars.
It's actually a very good game.

It has the same kind of gameplay as AC3/4 with a couple cool things added and the story is way better and more fitting than those two. It has the same sailing as AC4 but you have a slightly smaller ship and it's set in a completely different part of the world.
Shay's story also directly leads to Arno's story in Unity and in general it is the connecting link between 3, 4/Freedom Cry and Unity.


Also Assassin's Creed Unity has a slightly less black and white/good vs evil approach to Assassin vs Templar but you do still play as an assassin and the villain is still the Templar. It has good gameplay but the story isn't very good overall.

but any chance of one where you get to play as the Templars? One where they're not somehow portrayed as the bad guys which would be a cop out.

Assassin's Creed Rogue.

Ok I'll add it to my wish list and give it a go when it's like a fiver, sadly though I hated the sailing stuff in Black Flag, 3 was terrible too and I stopped playing after that. I just miss when the game was about killing targets like Hitman, it became too story and RPG focused as it went along and I found the worlds boring too. All they had to do was like the first game but without the annoying travelling between city to city thing and I hated the sci-fi element too, could have done without the whole Desmond thing. The one thing that just always annoyed me was the Templars were portrayed as the evil all the time.

Mirage looked interesting but the reviews seemed bad and Ubisoft seem to be destroying themselves so Microsoft can buy them out or something lol.... Maybe the CEO has a job lined up there?

If the sailing in 4 was actually a problem for you then you still might like Rogue, it’s much less important than in 4. You definitely get forced into doing it occasionally and I think there actually some missions where sailing is part of them but it’s less than in 4.
It’s a much smaller and denser map and the main islands are also bigger and that’s where you spend most of your time.

When I said the gameplay was similar to 3/4 I meant like the controls, parkour, ‘stealth,’ combat etc. Those two and Rogue were in a different version of the engine or something compared to 1+Ezio trilogy.
3 was my least favourite out of all the games pre-Origins but I really liked Rogue. Rogue also has, by far, the best story out of all the games (including Origins-Mirage) in the sense that the main character actually has real motivation and emotion beyond “Templar killed my dog now I am mad and become assassin.”

There’s no Desmond stuff in Rogue, I think there’s no modern day stuff at all or at least less than the other games. I don’t remember it in Rogue whereas in 4 I remember constantly being interrupted by modern day, walking around the office ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.


Anyway, I highly recommend it still.
It’s the only one where you get to view the Templar side first hand and based on what you’ve said that you do and don’t like about the other games it seems like you’ll enjoy it more than the other games. But obviously I don’t know for sure that you will.

The whole point is that both sides are bad. Or neither is good. Your choice.

You’ve clearly never played an Assassin’s Creed game.
The only 2 games that ever suggest that the Assassin’s aren’t 100% good are Rogue and Unity (and I guess the first game kind of, at the end), all the others just make Assassins good guys and Templars bad guys with no nuance at all. Even in Unity Templars are still the bad guys.

Because I stated a fact? Okay then, guy.

The problem about Rouge is that the game didn't really change anything. The Assassin's are now called Templars and vice versa. I never got the feeling of playing a Templar.

It's a classic yin and yang story, isn't it? Both think they know what's best, both end up causing bad things they didn't expect and so both need to be kept in check by the other. Just like those historical settings where each game takes place, no side was completely innocent nor irredeemably evil.

Yin-Yang is about harmony. This is more like far left vs far right politic in USA. Both think they are doing good thing and they harm big part of population in process.

Templars, as shown in the entire series, are all about directing and controlling humanity to however they seem fit. Assassins seem to have rose in counter to that as they want everyone to have the freedom to choose. Over the centuries, there have been good and bad leaders on both sides, but that dichotomy has always been there.
