The only problem with this DLC is that it's too short

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

I like what it changed about the map, the fog and snow made it feel creepy and you could feel the cold while playing. (I hope that makes sense)

The fear mechanism just make so much sense tbh 'cause if someone brutally murders someone in front of me I'm NOT trying to fight them right after or stand there to be killed too.

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.

I've been looking forward to this. This is what dlc should do. Add more than just another part of the map to the world. Love the content keep up the good work!

6:35 The Rooks actually were present, they were enemy gang dressed in purple, at some point Jack took control of them and turned them into his goons.

I just revisited Syndicate after playing Odyssey and could not get enough of it, the city, the graphics and details, animations, i was even enjoying the hell out of it's combat, even though i remember not being a fan when it first came out. Now i am glad that there's a great DLC for this game i can still enjoy for he first time.

I loved this DLC. The fear system and the inner thoughts of Jack on the screen were awesome.

i completed ac syndicate the other day and my main critique is the tone of the game its very goofy under a very serious setting . the ww1 and jack the ripper parts of the game feel more authentic and refreshing

I would have loved this game even more if the Parkour didn't had restrictions like previous or any other game. Couldn't even jump off from a height at will

I just wish the Dlc explained more of Jack's origin story during his time with Jacob and the Indian brotherhood.

The mansion and boat mission in the dlc were so fun to me I don’t know why 😂

You know it is going to be an amazing day when master assassin uploads!

Probably the greatest DLC of AC history imo, I love Unity and everything about it and its DLC, but it barely compares to Jack the Ripper. I do agree with the twist being a pretty dumb because it almost felt shoehorned in, but it was easily dismissible so I lived with it, I wish they made it just a little longer

Glad you did a video about this since I always comment when I see something about AC Syndicate

the JTR DLC for Syndicate reminds me of the Dead Kings DLC for Unity. it has the same dark, gritty colour palate and themes, and is focused around an important part of a character's history (Jack the ripper and his murders and Napoleon and his arrest respectively) also i love DLC's that allow you to play as the villain, my favourite is playing as RAAM in Gears Of War 3: RAAM's shadow

Love your video Man and keep up the great work

I've been meaning to replay this. I only played it once when it first came out. I got the platinum recently, and this video gives me a reason to jump back in. Thanks.

I’d like to see the idea of a fear system brought back for the newer games it could’ve worked in the rpg game like you set an enemy on fire from stealth or do a critical assassination in front of a group

I tried to play this DLC myself but I kept encountering a really strange bug, where All the progress I made when I decided to get off and take a break or if the client crashed would just reset to rescuing that one lady from the old Kenway manor and quite frankly I got sick of that continuously happening so I gave up on this DLC, accepting that I'll never be able to finish it, a real shame though I really wanted to play more of Jack and it looked like if I got further into the story I would have gotten to as well. 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.

I think the best part of the DLC, was playing as an actual historical villain, who's identity was soo unknown. I think AC could SERIOUSLY benefit from this, imagine playing as Alexander The Great living the final years of his campaign, before he mysteriously died by an unknown illness by the end of the story.

This came out when i was going through this Jack the Ripper phase (i like mystery shit) i was just so intrigued, that i was so happy when this came out

I like to call Jack the darkest time for the brotherhood since he destroyed it in London and also the back story of him wanting to erase the assassins because the war with templars affected other people outside the conflict is one that needed to fight back

The most skilled assassin has blessed us with another video

I would like to see AC implement the panic system in Mark of the Ninja. When “terrorized” guards will sometimes shoot their own guys out of fear

You should make merch. I would buy it.

Never played it. But I am intrigued. Will play it on my next play-through of Syndicate

If i buy this dlc will there be new things added to the main game? like outfits or weapons? + is it worth it?(haven't finish the vid yet)

Bro I’ve been waiting for this video for like 4 years

I have AC Syndicate on steam but I can't purchase Jack The Ripper DLC no button to purchase or download any help?

Yo it’s my bday keep up the good work

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. Meh

Yo, i have a feeling a good idea for a video is to play tottaly Accurate battle Simulator and download some Assassin Creed Factions. Btw love the Vids❤

My only problem with this dlc is that there is no Jacob since I dont like evie I also thought before this dlc came out that Jacob would be the ripper

i think adding the fear system and brutal takedowns would be good for ac red, like ghost of tsushima and the ghost stance

love you master assassin😍😍keep it up bro

I really liked this dlc. I finished it in 2015 or 2016 and it was really fun to me at 11 years old. 😄😄👏👏💯💯🔥🔥

have you played the dead kings dlc from unity?

Ac syndicate could basically have been an assassins creed horror game. Imagine this. The streets are full of criminals, poor hungry factory workers. Disease, cholera etc. 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. They could have reused/improved the mechanic from Rouge where you would have to listen to whispers to find people trying to kill you.

Slightly off topic but just wanna put this out there for anyone interested in the Jack the Ripper history: the comic mini-series From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell is absolutely amazing.

Just recently got platinum for this game was my second playthru but i enjoyed it alot more than my first playthru

Agreed!!!! Great video!

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.

This ac game isn’t my favourite but holds a place close to me since it was the first AC game I brought myself since I was finally old enough to get a job

It’s such a W dlc I’m hoping u look at watch dogs 1’s dlc bad blood which was crazily underrated and laid the basis for 2

It's basically ubi's theme to make dlcs better than the base game ( like with watch dogs legion bloodlines)

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.

This dlc turned this joke fest of a game into a really gritty serious one, it is the best dlc we had so far imo.

Jack reminds me of original baghead Jason from Friday 13th. This looks fun i wish they made a whole game where we can be the bad guy like this and not desynce if we kill innocents.

can someone help me it says “this feature is currently not available. Please check back later.”

The fear mechanic in this dlc reminds me of the fear takedowns in arkham knight kinda

If you want to, do the PS4 exclusive content The dreadful Crimes.I'm on Xbox, so I can't play this content. I don't agree with Sony doing this sort of denying gamers content. But aleast it seems Ubisoft don't do this sort or thing anymore. I won't buy a game where I'm denied content.

Could you do a vid on the hidden ones dlc for origins

the fear system should be added to hexe

You think Its possible to play in this game on Xbox sx in 900p with 30fps?

This dlc gave me what i want a serious Jacob just wish we got more of him

The Rooks are in the game. Jack took over them and boe you're fighting your own former gang. It's a cool concept. They are no templers. Its your former allies

To this day I haven’t been able to play this DLC because the mission starts at Sequence 1 of the main story. It’s bugged.

Really good video i have a question will you do a lets play for ac mirage?

The theory for who Jack the Ripper is has been more or less answered at this point I believe. I don’t remember the dudes name though lol

Who else wants to see a the video ends when I die video about this dlc

Is it unobtainable now?

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.

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.

The fear method, maybe used in hexe. And there might be more brutality. More dark. I doubt it’ll be a horror game. Also, this is a franchise, not a series.

love this man

Bro, pls can u tell me how to start the dlc, cuz I have the game buyed for ps4 and idk how to start it... Pls someone help.

I remember sleeping dogs game when we use to perform brutal attack the team of opponent were use to fear us 💀

Three games sequel Ubisoft needs to make:AC3,ACUnity and ACSyndicate

Fun fact; I was playing this dlc right when they decided to ban it. I got half way, and it wouldn't work. I tried uninstalled it, and couldn't reninstall

I can’t believe the Rooks, they went and turn their backs on Jacob to serve the Ripper. Jesus! Even working for Starrick was better than him! Traitors!😤

At least they didn’t try to make Shay Cormac Jack the Ripper for the whole “hunting assassins” story for this DLC. As ridiculous as that sounds, I can see Ubisoft doing that.

They could bring something like the fear system back for assassin's creed hexe

This makes me think the zoduac killer is a rogue assassin in the ac canon

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.

Well the problem is that we only get to explore Whitechapel and the city of London

How I envisioned the atmosphere of it instead of a Buddy Cop style

One thing I'm still curious about this DLC is if Jack took one of Jacob's eyes.

07:53 Hey, Jacob? Why do you think "Eve" didn't kill us?

im so dumb i started dlc before main game , luckily i didnt played it too much

If the DLC actually had jack the ripper gameplay for more than 3 sequences and if it was historically accurate in terms of the ending I would agree, It was so fun to play as jack. It's so disappointing that he has like 10 minutes of gameplay in his OWN DLC.

As my Fav next gen AC game I can't believe I never played this lmao. I'm gonna get it fs

Only thing I didn’t like About it was that you can juts use the knuckles and not any knives etc

I really appreciate a lot syndicate And modern ac

Hi master!!!!

actually trimming down the weapons is my least favorite part of the dlc i love the 3 weapon varieties in the base game though i get it the dlc is short they kinda had to trim down the weapons (that and the fact the Rooks are on Jack's side now) and of course like everyone else i wish it was longer

I woukd play it but i never really buy dlc stories, plus i much rather play jacob throughout the base game than evie

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.

i wish we could have played free roam as jack 😢

Thanks mentor.

If they made the their games like this but better then im sure they would make more money and the old fans and new prb would like it.

Ac syndicates main story was based in 1868 and in the dlc it's based in 1888 that's why Evie and Jacob are older

10:24 to be honest I thought his voice sounded a tiny bit exaggerated and goofy for his character

@MasterAssassin uploaded a video!

So what’s your opinion on AC Syndicate as a whole

I remember being annoyed that I couldn’t change back to Jack

I wanted to play as Jack more.

you forgo to talk about the ww2 mission in ac syndicate base game the portal in the water

Jack The Ripper was a Polish immigrant barber called Aaron Kosminski.
