"Everything ends and it's always sad." -The 12th Doctor, *Doctor Who*

9:08 Is it murder? People tend to think that any time a person kills another person, that it is murder. But anyone who has thought about the details realizes that it is not always the case. Context matters when prescribing guilt and fault in matters of death.

Quick question, whats the song that plays in the background at and around 7:20?

This is why I never liked your videos. You’re pushing your views onto the rest of us portraying them as the correct way and how things should be. You do realize that Ezio, Edward, Connor and even to an extent Altair’s endings were happy at least for them? Because in most contexts they’re still pretty tragic even if it was mostly happy. Altair was happily married to Maria for many years and had two children with him, but both one son and his wife were killed-Maria by his own hand-and he died alone in Masiaf of old age. The only solace was that he got to say goodbye to his only surviving son. Ezio was happily married to Sofia and had two children, but he died of a heart attack when his daughter was only nine and right in front of her. Embers is a sad film for a fucking reason. Edward was happily married and was able to raise his kids up until he was killed right in front of Haytham in a home invasion. And Connor, so far as I know, faired the best as he had three kids and died of old age but unfortunately was never able to reconnect with his tribe. Assassins always have tragic lives even after getting “happy” endings because sometimes that just how life works. It’s not because they’re killers and don’t deserve it. Jesus Christ. Are you serious right now with that asinine take?!

They definitely tried to evoke a sense in Arno that he never really moved on with his father's death until he came to terms with Elise's death in Dead Kings in the way he always pulls out his pocket watch and also tries to retrieve his pocket watch that always keeps getting stolen, but it was definitely a story element they fell short on.

You missed the point. In history, the original Assassin's creed were annihilated by the VERY STRONG MONGOL EMPIRE. These were made up (a game that just needs 1-3, but it got milked out too much). A better end is let ASSASSIN'S CREED 1, 2, AND 3 end there, but you know how gaming industry just say hey it sells well.......MAKE MORE. Don't cry on made up stuff and just focus on real ones (look outside). Gaming industry is dying ok, just go and find something worthwhile.

7:42 Never noticed the second *”the”* and now I can’t unsee it…

This is not an ass-ass-in (pay me)

thanks for making these

I love this video good opinions I only disagree with one Partially but I will keep it to myself. I will say this , I feel Basims Story when completely put together is very good , and I hope they finish it with another short game and or inclusion in a game.

I never knew the AC1 connection that’s really cool

Wait people thought the dlc was bad? It's more story related gameplay before you finish the game, why is more AC2 bad?

About Ezio, in Ac Revelations he decided to give up with Assassins life after murdering all that innocents in Cappadocia, various elements about it for example in Valhalla's files, suggests that he was truly traumatised by his later actions and he lived with it, in fact during Ac Ember he was truly stressed and sad. I also love the Arno story (they all criticized it for no reason), his all life was a sequence of tragedies, because he had a way of being that involved him in so many mistakes, he lost is father because he came late, but wasn't his fault, he wanted to explore like all the childrens, he lost De La Serre because he does not deliver the message, but wasn't his fault because he wanted to stay with Elise and cannot know what can come. He then matured and wanted always to protect Elise because he doesnt want to lose her, but he lost her, this tike because the destiny want it like that, he did all that he could do, but wasn't enough, it's very sad and tragic, because Arno was a pure person.

I think that in reality the Florence sequence has some of the best lines in the game, the dialogues with the victims are more intense than the one during the main plot, it reminds me more of Ac1, or I was impressed by a dialogue between two women, they were saying something like "I would like the Assassin to return" "They are all tales!!" "No. My father saw it once, at San Gimignano, long time ago" and it's just crazy that you realize that someone in the crowd see you while killing some target in the First Sequences of the game, put you in terms with the time passing by.

Nice but fix the thumbnail for a better CTR

i never knew A.C. 2 had dlc.... is it included in the ezzio collection?

I love AC2, but Ezio's thirties were definitely rushed and almost none-existent. If Ubi ever remake AC2, they definitely need to make Reneissance Italy fully explorable without loading screens (like the RPG Games) and make more story chapters/sequences, including Ezio's Spain years.

I played through AC2 so many times throughout the years. When I did play ezio collection and did these missions. I thought it was wierd I had 0 recolection of these missions. Didn't care, had fun with them, learned later they were DLC's so I don't really mind. I thought they were fun. Except the mission on the boat, that one anoyed me. 😅

There was that scene in AC Odyssey where the player was confronted by the families of all the guards they killed during the game. I think it was in one of the DLCs I believe.

I think Jesper Kyd really understood this aspect of Ezio's character well. Tracks like Sanctuary or Home in Florence really have this underlying sadness in them, I like to think it adds to Ezio's ability to blend into crowds. He's dead and empty inside and the lifelessness helps him just roam about unnoticed by a city brimming with life.

I haven't heard anyoen talk about how it breaks pacing or anything like that. And at least this DLC was planned in the first place but they didn't have enough time to finish it. It was always planned to be part of the main game.

To be honest at first when I heard the protagonist was black I was like what? Why are we getting a black protagonist in a Japanese game but when they said it was a historical figure I was intrigued and started doing some research of my own and found some strange things. Usually I don't like to use Wikipedia to look for information because anyone can just go and change the information. (I'll get to this in a bit) So I looked on academic and historical archive websites and foud that it is not 100% confirm if he was a samurai or not. He was sold to Nobunaga as a servant and with time he proved his loyalty but it is never staited that he was made a Samurai by Nobunaga because when Nobunaga was assassinated Yasuke escaped and in japanese culture if a samurai under a master loses said master the samurai most commit harakiri to maintain his honor and because he faild to defend his master so if yasuke was a samurai and he ran away then that's means he isn't no longer a samurai but a ronnin but if he was supposed to be made a samurai when his master was killed then he would be a samurai without a master or something along does lines although he would technically be more of s ronnin than a samurai. Going back to Wikipedia thing from the beginning I saw video of people hating on the game because they were painting Yauske as samurai when he really was not jet in my sources said that this specific part os not 100% confirmed but im this video this japanese gamer he compared two wikipedia entries with the western one stating that he was indeed a samurai and the japanese wikipedia entrie said that he was never a samurai in the firt place. I checked both on my own and yes they had conflicting info with both stating that there's evidence when in reality there's no information at all to neither confirm nor deny if he was a samurai. Wich has become one heck of a war online. The game does have great potential I'm not gonna lie but there's certain desicions done by ubi that I condemned but I'm also mad with the way some people have come to attack this doing it from s place of hate and ignorance and does people sadly are in the wrong.

My problem with the DLC that it's pointless, you legit gain nothing from playing them.

AC2 has DLC?

I just finished playing AC 2 for the first time and i thought these were just part of the main game, didnt know they were the DLCs. I liked them, they might just make the game a bit longer than expected, but i found them fun to play.

nice video

The only dlc mission i didn't like was the forced stealth on the boat.

shitass video doesn't deserve that badass title

If ubi want to make a black protagonist why they dont make an AC game in africa .i respect all poeple and all cultures but why should they add a hip hop music in full Japanese game? Why when yasuke fights the game plays hip hop music ?wtf ubi ?

Btw the ezio trilogy was so deep . Remember the ezio speech cutscene "dont follow me or anybody else, choose your own path ". But unfortunately the recent games are all trash .I'm sure the writer of these recent games are either gay or femboy. Such a pity.

Ubisoft are destroying the franchise by making assassins stupid clowns . I played AC syndicate again recently and I couldn't stop thinking how bad a character can be .a very good character ubisoft can copy from it is Jin sakai from ghost of tsushima .unfortunately game developers forgot they are making games for big boys or adult men .they think all of us are femboys . Bro I swear if ubi or any other game developers try to make their characters like john wick , Client Eastwood or aragorn or etc. Their games will be game of the year.

PLEASE NO RPG

Ezio is one of the best video game characters ever, he is the only complete Character that you actually get to see grow, even with Altair, so much of his life was skipped over and his story could have been more fleshed out which would have been cool because Altair himself is still quite a mystery, Ezio's story was Fleshed out across 5 games and this is why Ezio pretty much is the standard of Assassins Creed now.

I liked the dlcs personally and without them the game felt too short so I’m not complaining

I look at the assassins like the Jedi Order. When Bayek first started the order they weren't adjusted as a faction and had leeway with rules. And as time went on tradition and tenants were put in place to maintain stability. Altair and his assassins were calculated, emotionless and walking weapons. It wasnt until he took over did the rules start to dwindle a bit. Assassins were then allowed relationships and connections. However after Ezio the order got carried away with power hungry, controlling and stubborn people in charge, which caused the Colonial Brotherhood to be crippled and destroyed by Shay Cormac. It wasnt until Connor restored it that the assassins truly thrived together with their divisions in every country. So i think assassin personalities and ways of doing things varies depending on the time period. Bayeks time they were less careful and not a big group. Altairs they were scary, mythical legends. Ezio's they were maintained and given proper lives and balance. Colonial Times were the dark ages for them

Really enjoyed the video. The thumbnail is awful due to the red of the background washing out "Creed"

Ezio is basically Takeda from Mortal kombat

I love sequences 13 because i really feel like and assassin true and true . Only killing targets and thats its . It interesting what you said about the 9 targets being an homage to ac1 9 target because wend i kill thoes 9 ppl in ac2 i wear the altair outfit😂

I recently played AC2 (Ezio collection ) for the first time and honestly I didn’t mind it. Especially returning to Florence and that speech Ezio gives at the end…chills. It’s good to see someone else feel the same way I did when I played after watching soo many videos that absolutely trash it and say it’s unnecessary

Your content has really caught my interest and this deep dive into the psyche of the assassins is different. Wish you the best

We were robbed of another game with Bayek. His character was so well performed and written, every line you could feel his pain and anger. Even his face coming up from the water after retrieving Shadya's body, no words, just pain, watching him relive the tragedy of losing his son. I would have loved to see him decades later as a grizzled mentor, wise and charismatic but still missing the part of him that was robbed so long ago.

I agree honestly for someone to still be witty and have puns all the time is very unlikely unless they’re truly crazy which would be interesting to see an assassin like that tbh

I get you point about every thing but haytham never despised his father i read the novel and play all ac games, even in ac rouge you hack a computer in the present day and they said that haytham with his sister avenged Edward so i know he did not despised him if he did he would of live happy with his mentor

Haytham never despised his fathers, hell haytham and his sister avenged edward! Haytham kill his mentor reginal burth wrnd he find out he had edward kills so haytham NEVER despised his father him becoming a templar his just his belife

*Assassins

You’ve got a great style of video here, I’d love to see longer form videos from you. Maybe something like breakdowns of each protagonists character changes from beginning to end, maybe some insight into lesser known events in their lives like altäirs childhood or something. Keep up the good work 👍

Dude when the remix of the auditore theme kicked in I was overcome with melancholily Where did you find the music for this video??
