Well for one, different stories. Rogue follows Shay Patrick Cormack, an Assassin in the American Brotherhood, led by Achilles(This is a prequel to AC III). Shay finds out that he unintentionally killed innocents for the assassins, and betrays them, joining the Templars. As such, the gameplay changes to accommodate: You fight assassins, and they do all the things you did in previous games, hiding in tall grass, stalking from rooftops waiting to strike. If you aren't on your guard, it's game over. It takes some things from multiplayer, you hear a low whispering when they're near, and in eagle vision, you have the locator bar, which fills up when you get near them. Your ship, the Morrigan is smaller and faster than the Aquila or Jackdaw, and comes equip with a primitive machine gun, as well as some other cool things. Enemies will board your ship if they get near, meaning you'll have to fight them off to protect your crew. Also, swimming is dangerous in the North Atlantic. If you stay in the water too long, Shay will freeze to death. More outside environments in the vein of III and Black Flag, most are in the icy north. I'm not sure if Rogue has the same Black Box and AMA missions types as Unity, but I think it might? I really have no clue. Unity takes place in Paris, so more akin to Brotherhood, Revelations, II, etc. It's also their biggest map, 3X the size of Black Flag(this being due to the 1:1 scale). It follows Arno Victor Dorian, a French noble who's father, an assassin, was murdered. Later in life, his step-father is also murdered, and he is blamed. He goes to join the assassins, both to help the Revolution, and also to hunt down the killer(or killers), while his half-sister Elise joins the Templars, seeking revenge for her father's murder, but not at all concerned with the battle between Templars and Assassins. It focuses much more on Stealth. In Rogue, Shay has all the latest weaponry and armor, so while combat is still harder than it previously was, it's still mostly hacking down enemy after enemy, just without kill streaks and such. In Unity, even a single enemy could overpower you if you're not careful, so it's better to go with stealth, which is actually finally added in Unity, so now we can really call AC a stealth series. AMA and Black Box missions. Better Parkour. I've said a lot of this before. Basically, Rogue adds a lot of one time things being a "Templar" game, and Unity really finally builds on the basic formula of Assassin's Creed for the first time since II. So basically those are two different games, and Rogue was made to support the old generation? Yeah, totally different games. Rogue is simply a prequel to AC III, showing the downfall of the Assassin Order in America before Connor rebuilt it(kind of). Unity is the one following the story after Black Flag. Similar to how Revelations had a lot of one time things(Hook blade, zip-lines, bomb crafting, defend missions, etc.), Rogue will have a lot of one time Templar focused things to do with killing Assassins. One thing I forgot, Defend contracts rather than Assassination contracts. Kill all the assassins in the area before they move to kill your target, rather than kill one target in a heavily guarded area.

Thanks a ton dude, I appreciate it so much that you explained that to me. I'd give you more than two upvotes for those posts but that's all I can! Oh, and have this wonderful gif:

Sooo..... I installed Black flag around this time last night.
Steam says I've played 37 hours of it.
.....I'd like to know how Steam thinks that would even work.

They said it took something like almost a year alone for one of the teams to build Notre Dame. I think they said Unity has been in development for almost three years now? Something close to that anyway.

I think the "Parkour" Missions(Assassin Tombs, Captain Kidd, Tombs of Romulus, etc.) for this game will be following documents left behind by Nostradamus, so.... There's that. I don't think that at all answers your question, but still.

I kind of got them all and then started doing them. So.... I did the icy one third, but it might not have been the third. The first wasn't very atmospheric.... So, the one with the smugglers?
