Yeah I actually kinda like them, I liked them more than Arno. The only thing that gets annoying is when they keep calling each other by their first and last name, like nobody in real life mentions their sibling by their full name.

Might interest you to know Jacob and evie are based on a victorian occult version of the Irish mythological characters Lugh, and Morrigan. In victorian occult belief, the two are considered a "yin and yang" that are required to keep eachother in check, and gain balance. In the games original planned story, evie was actually going to be the games main villain. As Morrigan in Irish and victorian mythological belief, would turn on her "champion" and try to kill them, after the success of whatever endeavour was in motion. In the case of syndicate, evie wanted Jacob to get her the shroud, and remove templars controlling the country. This also adds up because Morrigan would hate the industrial world, and would seek a return yo the natural way of things. In the end many of evies traits as a villain were given to maxwell roth. Including the scar and grey hair, which were features of early evie frye designs. Now as for Jacob frye, he is very similar to shay... They share the same face and scars aswell. Even similar outfits of choice. Now the victorian belief for "the horned god, and the mother" otherwise known as "lugh and Morrigan" or "the sage and goddess of the moon." You see, regardless of there many names, or perhaps they have many names because of what I'm about to tell you, but it was thought that these 2 mythological beings walked among the people of industrial London, and that they would die and then awaken again, over and over. Always struggling to maintain balance. This idea is also what the game "vampyr" is based on. Its literally based on the same things syndicate is, yet they're so different. Which I find funny. But regardless, shay and Jacob share the same look, and very similar personality, and both struggle over balance. The mythology lines up, as dose the victorian London setting. And the victorian belief of the "horned god" was that he was missing his memory... it seems all to likely that at the very least during development, Jacob and shay are one in the same. A sage hidden within the mess of lost development ideas, or perhaps just a secret for people who know alot about victorian occult. Who knows.

Yeah I figured there's a lot in this game that twins and triplets would find relatable lol

@MasterAssassin I was a triplet, tho these days it's just 2 of us. And me and my brother who's still around have many traits in common with the frye twins. For example, I like going out, having a drink, I'm gay/bisexual, and I've often been misunderstood or made choices a little to quickly leading to interesting results.😂 my brother is very careful, he values intelligence over all, and he hated being social. We played syndicate together, where I would play Jacobs memories, and my bro played evies. At the time I hadn't come out as gay/bisexual. But playing Jacobs story was really strange, because I knew he was gay/bisexual near the end of the games story, and I felt like I couldn't tell my bro, and my bro was so unaware that Jacob wasn't straight, but he was joking that he looked gay, and then the entire experience just became so awkward it was actually hilarious.😂😂 I didn't enjoy the game as much, first time as a result. But playing it again, I fell in love with alot of the game. *not it's dlc tho. (Sorry for the essay, just thought it was a funny story.)

I love your channel

Only the jack the ripper dlc was nonsense that made no sense and was written by a 10 year old. "Jack the lad." Really? And whats this about needing evie to help. Shes in india. Why not call jacobs own son or literally anyone else who is actually close enough to help... the fear system wasn't good, it was a way to cheat your eay to victory in any situation. No new weapons or map! I mean we got dead kings for free, but paid for that dumpster fire jack the ripper.

@@chrismoore5333 you can have your opinion and I respect that, however you missed something at the end. The reason that the dead kings dlc was free (alongside the season pass), was because of the backlash Ubisoft was facing because of so many bugs in unity, and the controversy surrounding watchdogs (another game they made). You can’t argue about dead kings being free and the Jack the Ripper dlc not being free. It was because Ubisoft faced a TON of backlash due to unity and watchdogs, syndicate didn’t face this problem

@A boy with a blade ok then, in that case. We paid similar for freedom cry as for Jack the ripper. That is a joke. Freedom cry was far better quality for your money, offering a story that made sense and new gameplay features and new map... Jack the ripper is only "liked" because you play as a woman. The double standards in gaming is killing gaming. Tho I take your point.

@@chrismoore5333 it wasn’t “only liked because you played as a woman”, it was liked by some for its writing, setting, and depiction. Although I respect your opinion, you can’t generalize an entire group of people who like a dlc and say that they all only liked it because you played as a woman. That’s like saying they only liked base syndicate and chronicles China for playing as a woman

@A boy with a blade oh come on. Evie lacks character, development, depth, or any interesting traits at all, beyond being Jacobs sister. Jack the ripper was made a playable character, which is revolting. The entire mystery didn't make sense, and we skipped almost all of the autumn of terror, because Jacob was there for 4 of the 5 murders, and the dlc was anti Jacob for some reason. As for the animus, why give us only evies memories? Jacob knows who jack is and was there the entire time, and was there at the end. For that matter, how did we even get Jack's memories!? The entire dlc is absolute dribble.

Doing the same thing but not using the rope launcher.

It made u feel like a killer Batman

It would help if people even understood the game or its protagonist jacob. But like AC3 and connor, syndicate and jacob are misunderstood and misrepresented all the time. It's sad.

Yeah I really like this game, it's my third favorite after Ezio's games (they're three seperate games but I always just count them as one) and AC3, Syndicate is highly underrated and hopefully since people are starting to like Unity they'll give Syndicate another chance and like it.

@Vengeance yh your right there. And many of us count the ezio games as one. Just more easy to look at the franchise as a whole that way I think. I do hope people go into syndicate without reading what online critics say to be honest. Because most critics online don't understand these games or characters at all, and they have an agenda to push. This normally leads people to think evie is little miss perfect, which isn't the case. She just tries to mimic her father. And bless her, she'd have been a better character if she didn't. But I still think she's better then some Mary sue, which is how she is portrayed often online. As for Jacob, he is far from the joker people say he is. But to get into all that, I'd be here all day. It's Connor all over again. But yeah, I hope people do give syndicate another chance. It is as good as unity atleast. Even tho the story is worse told.

@@chrismoore5333 That's the thing. Ubisoft has less than quality story writers but their scriptwriters are pretty good and most voice actors are great.

@RomanCrownVll I disagree. Great stories, but poorly presented. But hey, they clearly did something wrong because neither of us can agree on what it was.😂

Exactly. I’m replaying it on my ps5 and every two seconds I get a seizure

​@@Tyleya I liked it too, the gang takeovers was so fun and it is so satisfying when you kill the gang leader when they first jump you before you initiate the gang fight. Really wish you can do that for all of them. A couple of them you cant...

You love the overstimulating and annoying editing?

@@Dctctx no, I like the editing on this Video, if you do not enjoy it go and watch something else

I think you got those quotation marks wrong there bud

this is so true though, most people i know that don't like their dynamic don't have siblings of their own, and as someone with a sister, I relate so much to evie and jacob, so i love their dynamic

I loved playing as Jacob. But as usual, evie being a female character meant that the second year of the games content was painfully bias to her. Not to mention Jacob is the series only canon gay/bisexual male protagonist. But evie obviously being one of many women protagonists, is the priority for "representation" apparently... I do feel slightly bitter that my own demographic mean so little to the preaching hypocrites at ubisoft. They think to little of men. (I know the base game was bias to Jacob, but honestly she was playable in 90% of the game, even when it didn't make sense or contradicted the story. Jacob didn't even get 1 level in the dlc. Tho the dlc did suck regardless. And also the base game was written for Jacob, and evie was a bad guy originally. She used to have grey hair, a scared face, and a silver mask. Her traits were later given to maxwell roth.)

@Desmond Miles your comment doesn't make sense.

@Desmond Miles perhaps. I'm not sure that co-op would've been right for the games main story, but it would have been fun regardless.

@Desmond Miles I don't like the idea of limiting individual character story and progression, and limiting their individual relationships and plot points, because 2 characters now have to share one single space. Even sharing as much as the twins already do hurt the game. Jacob was still better than the far more boring evie, but he was robbed of various things from his planned story. The lead writer even revealed that the "fixing mistakes" levels were made for Jacob, before they were given to evie. Narrative wise, I just don't love the idea for syndicate becoming even more limited than it already is. Perhaps I'm wrong, and I simply haven't seen the ways around that tho.

@Desmond Miles that is a strange question for this conversation, but yes I am gay. Why? (I see your point about co-op now. Sorry, didn't understand before.)

Tbf, this game was 2 of the old AC that bring some changes to its gameplay other than Black Flag with its gangster, carriages mechanism and so on

@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa well they are gangster not the assassins, so ofc there are going some limitations to the gameplay. Though the advantage is they always present around the map and could be called anytime player want to

@@danmckie5277 thats true they kept crying every year that's why Ubisoft had to copy the Witcher 3

@F 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

In his AC Unity 'the video ends when I die' video he said he was currently replaying and working on a Syndicate revisted review, hopefully it will be out soon, I really liked Syndicate.

@@vengeance1450 bro he doesn't like Syndicate he has said it multiple times even in his assassin videos he always downplays the Frye Twins on purpose

Yeah he's good with the Quips and jokes

Same scars, based on the same equivalent mythology for Irish Celtic and Victorian occult, and they're personality is very similar indeed... honestly there is alot to go in that suggests they're infact a sage, but given many on this video are foolish enough to think things like "jack the ripper has a good story" I worry that talking about interesting stuff like sages might ruin they're brains.
