Rares Macovei 3 changes and a fourth impending? There was huge changes i AC2, Unity and Origin. What are the coming fourth big change? Is there some news I've not heard of?
I totally disagree with your opinion of Altaïr's personality. I thought his early game depiction was one of the best ever shown of a dude who's an arrogant jerk. His descent into questioning himself, coming to see his enemies as human beings, and his transformation into a serious yet humble professional is one of my favorite heroes journeys in the franchise.
Altair is one of the worst characters in gaming history. To claim he's got any form of character arc or anything interesting about him, you must not even be familiar with mediocre character writing, let alone something interesting and well developed...
HyperCynic look it's a """cynic""" who claims he knows a lot about good writing 🤔. No one claims that Altair is a masterclass in writing, however his transformation from the start of the game to the end is subtle and interesting enough to merit acclaim.
Also, even if Altair's arc in AC1 is a bit weak, he's really redeemed in AC: Revelations. Seeing how the mistakes of his youth resulted in a life of regret was pretty powerful.
I've been saying this for years. The original AC came out during that awkward period where every game was going for that ugly, washed out, "realistic" look. Its controls we're clunky as hell, and both, Altaire and Desmond moved like they were drowning in molasses. While sequels restricted your abilities to some extent, you still had almost unlimited freedom with how you explored and where you went. If any game would benefit from a full remake, it'd be this one. I'm not sure why every other game has been re-released and upscaled for modern systems when this is the one game that needs, and deserves it the most. It would be amazing to run around Jerusalem with a more modern engine, just sayin'.
AC1 remake that includes AC: Altair's Chronicles, AC and AC: bloodlines all in a new engine made from the ground up for current hardware. It would restore my faith in humanity again
5:50 You want a new and Complete experience from the 1st Assassin's Creed? Well if you do here is an interesting fact: One of the game developers said that the original Assassin's Creed wasn't supposed to have a hud, minimap or anything on the screen. That's right it's just you and the game with no hud elements on the screen! How you are supposed to play this then? Well the developer said that if you play this game in such a way, it feels like you're actually becoming an Assassin. You don't have a map or any hud elements. You have to rely on your instincts and your senses, hence WHY this game is so repetative. For example, when you begin your investigation into your next target you are supposed to gather info, but I don't have a map so how do I find it? The bureau assassins actually tell you some valuable hints where to seek info. You climb the Syncro Point, and search your surroundings, or you can walk around town and listen to town criers to hear if they have the info you need. This way of playing the game is not perfect obviously but it's really interesting nonetheless.
@Cyberdemon Mike I would LOVE the Assassin's Creed series to be more like stealth games such as Hitman and Dishonored. It would suit the theme of being an assassin so well, and it goes greatly together with the parkouring aspect which I consider to be the staple gameplay element of the series
One thing that I can say about the original Assassin's Creed is that the combat is easily at some of its most violent and satisfying. Really crunchy sound effects and between breaking legs and stabbing through skulls, it's pretty entertaining for a while.
No nostalgia for Altair? Anyone who loves these games would disagree with you lmao Altair is one of the most badass characters Ubisoft has ever created
He meant cuz the game wouldnt still be categorized as an old game its not nostalgic but that depends on the person. For me its not nostalgic cuz its not a game I left in the dust. I still play it some times cuz for me with ACII is the best AC.
And this is why I haven't touched the series since 3, despite its absurdity I was very invested in Desmond's storyline with all his development from the first game through revelations from not knowing what's going on to gradually understanding the burden his ancestors bore and passed down the way it gets cut off abruptly was just a complete turn off for me. I do miss the amazing visuals and gameplay of the series but I can no longer find the interest to go back to the franchise
You think waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3 is bad? Imagine all the poor Assassins Creed fans who are still waiting for AC5 to come out. How many spinoffs are Ubisoft going to put out before we can get to the next mainline installment? Smh Reggie
Honestly I've never understood the hate directed at the "current day" portions up until AC 4. They provide some calm between the action, having a game that is nonstop action all the time is just exhausting. But most importantly I love how the conflict between the tempelars and assassins is an ongoing struggle throughout history still going on today and the modern day is an interesting side story in addition to the historic one. In AC 4 it got weird with the game development stuff and I haven't played any of the later ones so I can't say how it's done there. I've heard its removed completely, is that true?
Let me first say that I will never forget the awe, excitement and curiosity that I felt when, in 2007, from my horse I stared down for the first time on the city of Damascus from that hill; I think we could all somehow "feel" that it was the beginning of a new era in gaming. I disagree with your characterization of Altair. He wasn't a blank slate at all, he was just of few words and you had to listen carefully to his interactions to catch his personality. In reality he had quite a coherent and interesting character arc, going from a testosteroney, arrogant, overconfident ass at the beginning of the game to a wise, soft-spoken leader at the end. His every encounter with Al Mualim, the Assassin chiefs in the cities, the targets and even the build-up quests characters show his evolution. In my opinion, Altair is probably the best fleshed-out character of the whole series, if you take into account the Codex pages in AC2 and the memories in Revelations. The game on the overall did was mostly a tech demo to showcase what Ubisoft was capable of and to kickstart a new franchise, so it's fair that one wouldn't want to replay it, except to relive the atmosphere of the Holy Land.
Personally I feel like the second one is a total remake of the first one. Mainly because I felt that it retold everything from a different character, plus they redid alot of the mechanics that were a huge problem in the first one.
I remember number 1 more. Mostly because i killed the second last boss and it froze mid auto save. Forcing me to completely restart what was a completionist playthrough of it
Ranger Walker black flag was the one that made me give up on the franchise wasn’t a fan on the constant naval battles but I have picked up Assassin creed again thanks to origins and odyssey
Really liked AC Black Flag, to a point. The pirate stuff was amazing. Then the Assassin storyline reared it’s head and I lost interest. Mainly because the pirates I enjoyed were no longer around.
Assassin's Creed 1 was so great! It's still my favorite just because of the pre-assassination * optional * side missions. Getting an actual map of patrol routes and eavesdropping on schedules and escape routes was so cool. Later games completely cut out the feeling of preparing and executing a plan of assassination.
I recently re-played through the first four games again and it's just... so sad how badly this game has aged for what it's place in history is. I know it's probably not gonna ever happen, but I would really love for them to come back to this particular game and just. Redo it all. Altair is super interesting when we see him in Revelations and in the novels as well. The setting would look so stunning with modern graphics standards (it feels a liiiittle washed out looking at it now), and just seeing how they could overhaul the gameplay and quests with what they've learned... It could be so much better. They'd probably have to retcon stuff though and again, realistically they'd probably never do it :'/ I would be so jazzed if they ever did though.
I felt like this is probably the least interesting to play, but had one of the best stories in the series in my opinion. Despite its many flaws I still really appreciate this game.
Ac 1 is probably one of the most important games for me. Still, the newer games offer more life quality, so I get really conflicted about it :) amazing video, and great job getting all the damn flags 🤔
I feel similar, I adore this series, it's very important to me,and I am so grateful to what the first one did but after the gameplay of the second one, I couldn't go back
That montage at the beginning of the video of all the different climbing blending into each other was stellar and is just one example of how the amazing quality of these videos keeps improving. Serious props to the whole team for this one.
the cutscene stuff is bad yeah. i try to watch all the cs in games always. but when you replay a game just for fun or replay a scene because you failed or to restart, its really fucking annoying. every game should have a pause button for cs, as well as a skip button. and a spot on the menu where you could rewatch all, and the trailers too, like the first and the last trailer at least for comparison.
Honestly this game had my favorite combat at least up to Revelations, and more than Ac 3/4/R and Unity/ syndicate (havent played the most recent two). It was skilled and nuanced if you were good at it. It can feel like nothing but defending and countering. But if you're good it can be pretty fluid. Using timed strikes to get faster and more impressive kills, dodging to take advantage of a heavy attack from an enemy, throwing enemies into each other to make openings or into scaffolding to kill whole groups. And of course, a well timed counter to kill foolish attackers. I just wish the free running/climbing were more fluid (although honestly Revelations had my favorite climbing) and the crouching and cover mechanic could be pretty awesome. And the crowd cover mechanic would be good. But this game is still fun and I still enjoy playing it
I hated completing this game but playing it casually is still a fun experience for me since it feels a lot less repetitive and you can actually progress through the story quickly
It's kind of a shame that while the gameplay keeps getting better with every new AC game, the story, the theme and the identity of the franchise keeps beeing peeled away ever more. Yeah the newer games play better, but apart from the name there really is nothing Assassins Creed about them anymore. You could slap a different name on it and nobody would even know it's from the series.
Kind of wish they did and just forgo any mention of "historical accuracy/authenticity". The recent game was absolutely horrendous with how little it paid attention to the most basic facets of the Peloponnesian war - all to push a socio political agenda that is clear as day.
Zachary Erickson the way I saw it, origins was the beginning of the Assassins, Odyssey was the beginning of the Templars(with Deimos and the Kult, and if you play the DLC, the Order of Ancients even makes an appearance)
This channel is the best gaming channel to exist. No one can change my mind on this. The intro is amazing with a feel of a proper gamer, the review always feels in-depth and the concept of the channel is quite unique. BEST GAMING CHANNEL EVER.
you focus on the completely wrong things about the game. what a lot of people dont understand is how ur literally just not playing it right. for example, combat is played completely different in this game. there's many things u don't know. for example, when a enemy taunts or becomes scared u can run at them out of ur combat and assassinate them. which is how it's supposed to be played. u also r cringy asf. u also focus on things that are meant to be a pain, all collectibles are annoying so just do it. as for the bugs, it was main in 2007. which u can look past due to the amazing dialogue and narrative. u talk abt how its boring to speak to others and follow the story but its because ur making the game a chore. the atmosphere and vibe are strong ofc sure like all other assassins creed games but what makes this game shine as one of the best for me, is the story and how u actually play as a assassin in the creed unlike the other games. just because the mission structure and seem tedious doesn't take away from the fact that all 10 templars are unique and every last word they mutter is intriguing. if there's problems with the flags. DONT. DO. IT. u shouldn't want to skip cut scenes, u should embrace it. u make it tedious with ur urge for better gameplay but that's just because ur to dull and dense to figure out the game. u didn't even touch on how the parkour in this game is arguably the best we've seen from any game period as long as u go in depth. sure, it doesn't give u a step by step tutorial abt side and back ejects and how the game is perfectly sculpted for the most satisfying movements based off ur choices but that makes it all the more special when u find it urself. u jus never did. I bet u didn't even find the secret room in the modern day that teases even origins. the thought in this game was tremendous and the fact u called it below average makes my blood boil by ur ignorance.
I've tried to play this game so many times, but every time my friends rave about it and I'm like: after the first 2 hours or so you've pretty much done everything the game has to offer and you're just doing that on loop for 40 more hours.
I’ve never had problems one hundred presenting Assassin’s Creed 1. The only thing I did have problems with were finding the flags, I would usually have maps online to show me where they are, and they did usually come in handy but while going through the story I would accidentally get a couple of flags, then when I went to get all the flags achievements I wouldn’t know where they are or I would think that I already got it but then it turn out that I didn’t so then I’d have go through all the flags again to see with one I missed. I love Assassin’s Creed game but that always pisses me off with I why I rarely one hundred percent that game! You bet you’re ass I’d definitely 100% if it’s remaster or redesigned!!
Lucky bugger. Mine froze all the time. And by all the time that included mid autosave 4 times. With the latest one being after the second last boss. Thought long and hard whether i wanted to complete games after that
I guess it's all on luck. I managed to complete this game three or four years ago I think the only difficulty I had was one templar but other than that no problems. I honestly didn't realize this game actually glitched or bugged out on other gamers.
I completely agree with your rating. I played it on Steam for the first time a long time ago and I didn't even do a completionist run (call it a semi-completionist run) and the game really frustrated me with stuff that would happen or bugs that would appear. Also, it really irked me when the story had not even a smidge of a resolution, the story being the only reason I had to finish the game.
AC1 was the first thing I saw Kristen Bell in. It really weirded me out when I saw her in a movie years later and finally remembered her being in AC1 after like half an hour. There was just something eerie about seeing the same face just not 3D modeled anymore. I doubt it would bother me as much now, though, since scanning voice actors' faces is a bit more commonplace.
Not surprised to hear this rating. I absolutely hated the first Assassin's Creed when I first played it because I felt like I couldn't do anything after losing all my powers, Metroid style. Also the reason for it was duuuuuumb. Losing my equipment fine, I'm not allowed to use that stuff anymore because the boss said so, I can accept that. Forgetting how to do certain moves though? That's just ridiculous. Anyway a few years later I came back to it and actually LOVED the game! I ate it up and blasted through it in a few days and then immediately charged into Assassin's Creed 2. About 30 minutes into the second game I was thinking "Man, now that I have this better version AC1 seems pretty bad huh?" I respect the first game for starting the series and it's unfair to judge it against the games that built on what it began, but I can't help but feel like it's pointless now with how good the sequel was.
While AC may have been, and probably will continue to be, buggy as all hell I cannot help but look past that as I just found the base game and story enjoyable. However, the latest releases of Origins and Odyssey, are just not for me. Everything I loved about the games are completely gone in Origins and Odyssey, not to mention this new protag they just threw in with not much explanation. In my opinion, Origins suffered in the fact that the game opened in the middle of what seemed like act 3, with no information to go on, and Odyssey made you play the whiniest spartan every imagined.This isn't to mention how little the cult leaders mattered in the end in Origins. And why are we going to Vikings? Origins ended with Julius Caesar becoming the "father of understanding" or the origination of the Templar order, and Odyssey took us back to Greece. I'm just restarting AC 3, and I realized by an accidental pause when some pop-up was up, that Altair ain't even the first ancestor, there's some guy named Aquilus back during the time of Rome. Also, you may have encountered bugs for side missions and challenges like flags and Templars disappearing, in Odyssey, I had a Cultist bug-out on me. Now I can't ever complete the main story of Odyssey, unless I decide to do the entire agonizing 30+ hours again, and hope the same cultist doesn't glitch out again.
Honestly that would kinda suck. The only real things that should change about it are the updated smoothness of free running, and crouching, maybe the walking/running assassinations they introduced in 3. Its combat is still among my favorite in the whole series because it rewards skilled gameplay and tactical thinking as opposed to the kill combos of ac3/4 or the parry heavy Unity combat. And I kinda like how air assassinations are still possible but you have to do that yourself, not just stand above them and press X
@@princeblackelf4265 I like the combat of those games, but honestly I like the combat from AC1 better. If you're good at it you can be pretty fluid. Timing your attacks to get kills faster, dodging instead of using the counter all the time, throwing enemies into each other, the guard break, and watching the guards body language to see when they're open to heavier attacks is pretty fun. I liked the kill chains of Brotherhood/revelations but AC1 felt more challenging and more rewarding of skill
I never understood why people hated the flags in this game, they usually involved lots of climbing, jumping, sometimes a small puzzle to work out how to get to them. What I didn't like was having no way of knowing where they could be without checking every single alleyway and every single rooftop of every building in every town and city, miss 1 flag and it's goodbye achievement. Map markers are something which has been added in later games, but they went overboard in recent titles, some exploration is good Ubisoft! Regardless they were never "mindless" collectables like I see in many other games where you just check every corner, which involves no gameplay just busywork.
Unless they got an early version I doubt you'll see it soon. And knowing about their situations from past videos the chances of them getting early access is low.
Any ace combat game would be great. It’s not a series that’s covered often on mainstream gaming TH-cam. I think it would be awesome to do 4:Shattered Skies or 5: Unsung war
When this game came out, it was a blast. I have the PS3 version and, honestly, I really enjoyed it although it was far from perfect (I played it and finished it in 2015, years after its release). Upon beating the game, I also wished there was more done on the Miles' part of the story (or lack thereof) and gathering the flags was quite tedious. While I never look at walkthroughs to complete a game, I did it to get all the flags since I was getting bored of just wandering, hoping to find a flag while the beggars and drunk guys are being annoying af (not to mention going through the fucking cutscenes everytime!!!) Still, considering it was the first of the franchise, I still think they did a fairly good job at it. I would have at least given it a "play it" rating, but then again, I didn't have the glitch problems and all. Maybe the PS3 version is better on that part despite not having achievements.
I wish they would remaster all the games and remove the modern day crap I know theirs the Ezio collection but I want all the games 1-4 with better graphics all the dlc and no modern day or at least skippable
I remember buying this game, it was the first M rated game I ever owned, beat it in less than a week and went out shortly after and bought the entirety of the series that's on the 360, the difference between the first and second games was awe inspiring and it's always stuck with me, good series but I'm stuck till I can get the system to proceed with unity, syndicate, etc
As a fan of the series I agree that it's getting kinda washed out and should start finding and end point but also like the direction origins put the series intro with Odyssey. It was nominated for goty and that's surprising.
@@zombibyte Fortnite won over GoW and Red Dead 2 and is in the same category as Fallout NV and The Witcher 3. A nomination for GOTY is all but a joke these days.
I must have been real lucky when I played the game. I never had any issues with the flags or templars that I know of. It was the first game I ever completed, and I loved it! It made me want to start completing other games, even though I'm not good at it. lol
I’ve seen how the PC version of Assassin’s Creed runs and wow it runs far smoother than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Sure the PC version has no achievements but if the PC version runs the best it makes me wonder why he didn’t just complete that version as it also comes with a few missions that aren’t in the console versions.
Honestly the concept of assassins are cool and it was, until it was squeezed into a profit goldmine but origins and odyssey are probably the 2 best AC games. Odyssey is better, change my mind.
I agree origins and odyssey brought me back in the franchise but I think the Ezio trilogy still tops these two games better story but the new ones have better mechanics
Odyssey ditched the storyline they've been building up since 3 to resolve it in a sidestory comic, and gave it multiple endings ruining the cohesive narrative of the series as a whole, problem with that is it's a series thats main appeal was it's storyline not its gameplay
DJ Dragon Nah Unity is by far the worst one. Even without the horrible glitches (which idk if it’s been fixed yet) it’s still a terrible story with pretty average gameplay
It's weak, even after the second one came out it was already so clunky that it was impossible to go back to, AC2 fixed so much so quickly. The best thing it did was properly feel like an assassin taking out targets as opposed to Ezio being a more Monte Cristo revenge tale AC1 desperately needs a remake with the fixes later installments did to the gameplay
It probably is. It's quite repetitve but you have to give it credit for kicking off such an amazing franchise. Plus as was said in the beginning, it inspired a lot of games like Tomb Raider reboot and Horizon Zero Dawn. I still prefer it to AC3 though. Really dislike that one
Why not play these old 360 games on the Xbox One X? Some (like Assassin's Creed) are essentially remastered in 4K and it's fun to revisit old games, but with much improved graphics. And the achievements still work!
Not surprising the atmosphere and setting is one of the things he really likes. May or may not be related but Jirard is Arabic by blood if I recall. Its just like how I love Nordic and Czech lore. You can't help it
I completed it in about 2010 and I never encountered any bugs. The only annoying thing was that in 2 cities I missed one flag and had to go to EVERY flag location again until I found which I'd missed and both of them where in the 60+ range. Other than that I did play it through twice [well 3 times because I had played it through once in 2007] because I didn't realise the talk to what's her name was missable.
Please play... -Watch_Dogs -Watch_Dogs 2 -Prey -Celeste -Hollow Knight -Dead Cells All I can think of off the top of my head so add other games in the comments and I'll edit it!
I remember seeing my daughter playing this and I had not played it. SO I got the first game and boom straight down the rabbit hole and now in the process of finishing Odyssey. Assassins Creed never get old. Thanks for the review, PC version was good :)
Yeah... AC1 really doesn't hold up anymore. I'm glad that it was my entrance into the series, but I'm not looking back. If I want to revisit the plot, TH-cam exists. XP
Wow I had no idea how much of a glitchy mess AC1 was, even with completing it myself fairly recently. But really, the main thing to take away from trying to complete an Assassin's Creed game is to NOT DO IT ALL AT ONCE. You have the patience of a saint, Jirard. o7
God I hated this game so much back in the day. I felt like it robbed us of the Price of Persia series. And the some degree it did. And I never liked the Middle East setting either. Then Ezio came along and I absolutely adored Assassin’s Creed 2 and the next 2 games. Assassin’s Creed 3 was okay but with a shitty ending. And Assassin’s Creed 4 came along with its stupid boat that was absurdly overused and it was downhill from there. Today I hate what Assassin’s Creed has become and make no mistake, those Whitcher ripoffs are not Assassin’s Creed games. They’re just a bunch of crappy, generic RPGs with the AC title slapped on.
Not gunna lie, I still think Assassin's Creed 1 is solid, if only because it really focused on the assassination aspect. Everything you do is in an effort to gain Intel to make your assassinations go more smoothly. Apart from the flags. Fuck those flags. Every game since has diluted that more and more with bullshit littered around these huge maps, while refining the actual mechanics to make them feel better.
Assassin's Creed was so innocent and pure back then. Repetitive as all fuck, granted, but it wasn't littered with microtransactions. Back then, it was Assassin's Creed. Now; it's Assassin's Greed.
I disagree! For me there IS nostalgia for Altair!! While this game is undoubtedly the most held back and least varied of the series, I still weirdly find it my favorite to go back and play because of the weirdness and mystery of the modern day story combined with the truly unique setup of the historical segments!
Man, looking back now, this game was revolutionary for its time. But now, it's very formulaic and beat by beat in its game design structure. Still, can't thank the series enough for what it has reined in.
I remember being 10 years old going into gamestop my grandma had took me every single time and i remeber seeing the hidden blade of altiars wrist and the white hooded robe on the front of the game case i immediately knew i wanted this game so i brought it up to the counter and told the employee that i wanted this game with a cute lil smile on my face he looked at me then looked at the game he then said "u have chosen wise " at the time i jus rlly wanted to get home and play that shit so i didint think much of it he then began to ring it up and since my grandma was a fan of games herself she was browsing the store while i was paying the store manager said i lobe assassin creed games and giveing the fact he said GAMES with a S i was curious so i asked him wait there are more still with the same smile i gave before he then stopped bagging the game up and said yes and there something u want to experience on your own so he bagged the game up and we headed home when i got home i had noticed the bag still had a game case outline inside of it laying on the floor and i paused ac 1 and picked it up and to my surprise there it was ac 2 with a note on the inside of the game case and it read " everything is true nothing is forbidden" hints to the reference of the game i was young and didint kno what it ment i jus thought he must have accidentally put ac 2 in the bag a few weeks later i had beat ac 1 and was moveing on to the second game an in the game as u may know it says the same refrance "everything is true nothing is forbidden" and then it clicked ....... The employee had put the ac 2 in there on pourpse and ever since that day i will always love ac games no MATTER wut Formula they change long live ac games💪💜
You should do AC odyssey for a new completionist, you said you really liked it in the best 2018 games vid and it’d be cool to see you compare it positively to origins
Countering is only part of the combat. There is so much more to it. Anyone wanting a more challenging and interesting time should familiarise themselves with the intricacies and FIGHT AGGRESSIVELY!!!! AC1 and the following 3 games have the best parkour in the series. And this games cities are the best parkour playgriunds.
The modern day sections have never gotten good. It's like they know making those bits interesting is beyond them with the crunched time frame they're always working under, so they just...don't bother. 11:31: Kristen Bell? All time great? Wow, dude. I mean, she's not a...bad actress and she's definitely pretty, but there's, easily, 100-200 better actresses. A looker, but definitely not a phone booker. Probably a 6/10 in terms of performance skill. (For just three examples of, definite, phone bookers: Thelma Ritter, Helen Mirren, Bette Davis.)

I totally disagree with your opinion of Altaïr's personality. I thought his early game depiction was one of the best ever shown of a dude who's an arrogant jerk. His descent into questioning himself, coming to see his enemies as human beings, and his transformation into a serious yet humble professional is one of my favorite heroes journeys in the franchise.
Yes. Altair actually has an arc, plus his look with that outfit, missing finger and half hidden face is awesome
Altair is one of the worst characters in gaming history. To claim he's got any form of character arc or anything interesting about him, you must not even be familiar with mediocre character writing, let alone something interesting and well developed...
HyperCynic look it's a """cynic""" who claims he knows a lot about good writing 🤔. No one claims that Altair is a masterclass in writing, however his transformation from the start of the game to the end is subtle and interesting enough to merit acclaim.
Also, even if Altair's arc in AC1 is a bit weak, he's really redeemed in AC: Revelations. Seeing how the mistakes of his youth resulted in a life of regret was pretty powerful.
HyperCynic I’m guessing you never read the secret crusade.
I've been saying this for years. The original AC came out during that awkward period where every game was going for that ugly, washed out, "realistic" look. Its controls we're clunky as hell, and both, Altaire and Desmond moved like they were drowning in molasses. While sequels restricted your abilities to some extent, you still had almost unlimited freedom with how you explored and where you went.
If any game would benefit from a full remake, it'd be this one. I'm not sure why every other game has been re-released and upscaled for modern systems when this is the one game that needs, and deserves it the most. It would be amazing to run around Jerusalem with a more modern engine, just sayin'.
They probably lost the source code. Look how ugly AC2 remastered was.
Resident Evil 3 Remake just dropped and your comment feels even more valid! AC1 Remake please be coming!
the pc directors cut doesnt fix anything ?
@@supahgualtah it adds a few extra side activities and has the usual PC port updates, but that's about it.

You climb the Syncro Point, and search your surroundings, or you can walk around town and listen to town criers to hear if they have the info you need. This way of playing the game is not perfect obviously but it's really interesting nonetheless.
This would have been amazing design
I second this, I've played the game without the minimap and all that stuff and it's an interesting experience.
Do the sequels offer anything like that? Like, is it possible to play blind like that do you reckon?
@@swampet5457 Unfortunately not; Ubisoft decided to move the series towards a more strictly linear, railroaded design after this
@Cyberdemon Mike I would LOVE the Assassin's Creed series to be more like stealth games such as Hitman and Dishonored. It would suit the theme of being an assassin so well, and it goes greatly together with the parkouring aspect which I consider to be the staple gameplay element of the series
The sound effect that plays when you pick up a flag is just so nostalgic and amazing. Just saying.
My God, yes
Reminds me of the Revelations gameplay trailer oh the nostalgia! ;)
I love the animus
"Desmond whines and Altaïr murders" I laughed way too hard at that one.
What location or time period would you love to see an Assassin's Creed game take place in?
Prohibition.
Japan!
Golden age
Denmark, but I'm Danish, so I'm biased 😂
Would be cool to see a "real" AC game set in Russia
Australia, Gold Rush era
One thing that I can say about the original Assassin's Creed is that the combat is easily at some of its most violent and satisfying.
Really crunchy sound effects and between breaking legs and stabbing through skulls, it's pretty entertaining for a while.
AC1 has the most realistic combat and sound effects in the franchise imo
@Cyberdemon Mike I know. It's just that I really like AC1's combat because it was just so cool looking and satisfying either way
No nostalgia for Altair? Anyone who loves these games would disagree with you lmao Altair is one of the most badass characters Ubisoft has ever created
He's my absolute favorite assassin for how badass he is
He meant cuz the game wouldnt still be categorized as an old game its not nostalgic but that depends on the person. For me its not nostalgic cuz its not a game I left in the dust. I still play it some times cuz for me with ACII is the best AC.
I love Assassin’s Creed but it honestly just feels like its slowly ignoring the whole Assassin V Templar and Apple of Eden Story...
And this is why I haven't touched the series since 3, despite its absurdity I was very invested in Desmond's storyline with all his development from the first game through revelations from not knowing what's going on to gradually understanding the burden his ancestors bore and passed down the way it gets cut off abruptly was just a complete turn off for me. I do miss the amazing visuals and gameplay of the series but I can no longer find the interest to go back to the franchise
You think waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3 is bad? Imagine all the poor Assassins Creed fans who are still waiting for AC5 to come out. How many spinoffs are Ubisoft going to put out before we can get to the next mainline installment? Smh Reggie
not only that, but imagine all the Yakuza fans waiting for Jirard to complete Yakuza 0.
They just ditched numbering the games after Black Flag. The new games like Syndicate, Origins and Odyssey are mainline entries.
@@samuelchurch5124 r/whoosh
They completed the Desmond story, really lacklustre attempt to conclude it
Mainline Assassin's Creed don't exist anymore
Honestly I've never understood the hate directed at the "current day" portions up until AC 4. They provide some calm between the action, having a game that is nonstop action all the time is just exhausting. But most importantly I love how the conflict between the tempelars and assassins is an ongoing struggle throughout history still going on today and the modern day is an interesting side story in addition to the historic one. In AC 4 it got weird with the game development stuff and I haven't played any of the later ones so I can't say how it's done there. I've heard its removed completely, is that true?
Let me first say that I will never forget the awe, excitement and curiosity that I felt when, in 2007, from my horse I stared down for the first time on the city of Damascus from that hill; I think we could all somehow "feel" that it was the beginning of a new era in gaming.
I disagree with your characterization of Altair. He wasn't a blank slate at all, he was just of few words and you had to listen carefully to his interactions to catch his personality. In reality he had quite a coherent and interesting character arc, going from a testosteroney, arrogant, overconfident ass at the beginning of the game to a wise, soft-spoken leader at the end. His every encounter with Al Mualim, the Assassin chiefs in the cities, the targets and even the build-up quests characters show his evolution. In my opinion, Altair is probably the best fleshed-out character of the whole series, if you take into account the Codex pages in AC2 and the memories in Revelations.
The game on the overall did was mostly a tech demo to showcase what Ubisoft was capable of and to kickstart a new franchise, so it's fair that one wouldn't want to replay it, except to relive the atmosphere of the Holy Land.
People remember Assassin's Creed 2 more than Assassin's Creed 1
From the people that I know probably because AC2 was the first one they ever played.
Personally I feel like the second one is a total remake of the first one. Mainly because I felt that it retold everything from a different character, plus they redid alot of the mechanics that were a huge problem in the first one.
superdog619 Ezio is Altair with a personality. lol
@@M0zzarella_ no, for good reason.
I remember number 1 more. Mostly because i killed the second last boss and it froze mid auto save. Forcing me to completely restart what was a completionist playthrough of it
Ac 2 is really great. Ac Black flag is fantastic
Ranger Walker black flag was the one that made me give up on the franchise wasn’t a fan on the constant naval battles but I have picked up Assassin creed again thanks to origins and odyssey
Those two games are the only ones in the series I would consider to be great
Really liked AC Black Flag, to a point. The pirate stuff was amazing. Then the Assassin storyline reared it’s head and I lost interest. Mainly because the pirates I enjoyed were no longer around.
@@Odinsday How about Brotherhood?
@@roganzar I love everything about Black Flag even the assassin aspects
Look at my man and his PBG shirt looking good Assassin Man
Is he about to become a new Robot Master, now? ...he'd be very interesting.
Assassin's Creed 1 was so great! It's still my favorite just because of the pre-assassination * optional * side missions. Getting an actual map of patrol routes and eavesdropping on schedules and escape routes was so cool. Later games completely cut out the feeling of preparing and executing a plan of assassination.
I thought that the game would get the "Play it" rating,but I was wrong
"INFIDEL!"
I recently re-played through the first four games again and it's just... so sad how badly this game has aged for what it's place in history is. I know it's probably not gonna ever happen, but I would really love for them to come back to this particular game and just. Redo it all. Altair is super interesting when we see him in Revelations and in the novels as well. The setting would look so stunning with modern graphics standards (it feels a liiiittle washed out looking at it now), and just seeing how they could overhaul the gameplay and quests with what they've learned... It could be so much better. They'd probably have to retcon stuff though and again, realistically they'd probably never do it :'/ I would be so jazzed if they ever did though.
I felt like this is probably the least interesting to play, but had one of the best stories in the series in my opinion. Despite its many flaws I still really appreciate this game.
Ac 1 is probably one of the most important games for me. Still, the newer games offer more life quality, so I get really conflicted about it :) amazing video, and great job getting all the damn flags 🤔
Well Unity was garbage
I feel similar, I adore this series, it's very important to me,and I am so grateful to what the first one did but after the gameplay of the second one, I couldn't go back
Prince Black Elf I always go back AC 2 when I can’t decide what to play it’s such a good game and Ezio is such a great character
@@darkknight8029 I agree and AC2 has a lot of replayability alright
The atmosphere was peak and that time in history is barely covered in western media/history.
I love assassins creed thanks for doing a video
I am not dead but i usually am for about 10 hours a day
I love all the present time Abstergo stuff MonkaS
first new game plus of 2019 :)
That montage at the beginning of the video of all the different climbing blending into each other was stellar and is just one example of how the amazing quality of these videos keeps improving. Serious props to the whole team for this one.
Assassin's Creed is a good franchise
Was.Odyssey is for bitches.
oh god no it's not the middle games are garbage
Lol people can't recognize a Dunkey meme
But now as good as Super Mario Bro 2
"OH SHIT HE BUSTED OUT THE FEATHER"
And there's no mention of the chair breaking on him, revealing it was a templar all along.
the cutscene stuff is bad yeah. i try to watch all the cs in games always. but when you replay a game just for fun or replay a scene because you failed or to restart, its really fucking annoying. every game should have a pause button for cs, as well as a skip button. and a spot on the menu where you could rewatch all, and the trailers too, like the first and the last trailer at least for comparison.
Honestly this game had my favorite combat at least up to Revelations, and more than Ac 3/4/R and Unity/ syndicate (havent played the most recent two). It was skilled and nuanced if you were good at it. It can feel like nothing but defending and countering. But if you're good it can be pretty fluid. Using timed strikes to get faster and more impressive kills, dodging to take advantage of a heavy attack from an enemy, throwing enemies into each other to make openings or into scaffolding to kill whole groups. And of course, a well timed counter to kill foolish attackers. I just wish the free running/climbing were more fluid (although honestly Revelations had my favorite climbing) and the crouching and cover mechanic could be pretty awesome. And the crowd cover mechanic would be good. But this game is still fun and I still enjoy playing it
I hated completing this game but playing it casually is still a fun experience for me since it feels a lot less repetitive and you can actually progress through the story quickly
It's kind of a shame that while the gameplay keeps getting better with every new AC game, the story, the theme and the identity of the franchise keeps beeing peeled away ever more. Yeah the newer games play better, but apart from the name there really is nothing Assassins Creed about them anymore. You could slap a different name on it and nobody would even know it's from the series.
Kind of wish they did and just forgo any mention of "historical accuracy/authenticity". The recent game was absolutely horrendous with how little it paid attention to the most basic facets of the Peloponnesian war - all to push a socio political agenda that is clear as day.
EskChan19
I was really disappointed with the portrayal of Julius Caesar.
I really didn't like the direction the series started going post Black Flag.
Is it weird I like AC3 and Rogue?
Zachary Erickson the way I saw it, origins was the beginning of the Assassins, Odyssey was the beginning of the Templars(with Deimos and the Kult, and if you play the DLC, the Order of Ancients even makes an appearance)
This channel is the best gaming channel to exist. No one can change my mind on this. The intro is amazing with a feel of a proper gamer, the review always feels in-depth and the concept of the channel is quite unique. BEST GAMING CHANNEL EVER.
you focus on the completely wrong things about the game. what a lot of people dont understand is how ur literally just not playing it right. for example, combat is played completely different in this game. there's many things u don't know. for example, when a enemy taunts or becomes scared u can run at them out of ur combat and assassinate them. which is how it's supposed to be played. u also r cringy asf. u also focus on things that are meant to be a pain, all collectibles are annoying so just do it. as for the bugs, it was main in 2007. which u can look past due to the amazing dialogue and narrative. u talk abt how its boring to speak to others and follow the story but its because ur making the game a chore. the atmosphere and vibe are strong ofc sure like all other assassins creed games but what makes this game shine as one of the best for me, is the story and how u actually play as a assassin in the creed unlike the other games. just because the mission structure and seem tedious doesn't take away from the fact that all 10 templars are unique and every last word they mutter is intriguing. if there's problems with the flags. DONT. DO. IT. u shouldn't want to skip cut scenes, u should embrace it. u make it tedious with ur urge for better gameplay but that's just because ur to dull and dense to figure out the game. u didn't even touch on how the parkour in this game is arguably the best we've seen from any game period as long as u go in depth. sure, it doesn't give u a step by step tutorial abt side and back ejects and how the game is perfectly sculpted for the most satisfying movements based off ur choices but that makes it all the more special when u find it urself. u jus never did. I bet u didn't even find the secret room in the modern day that teases even origins. the thought in this game was tremendous and the fact u called it below average makes my blood boil by ur ignorance.
The Desmond segments are some of the most interesting parts of the games and once they were gone I never bought another.
I've tried to play this game so many times, but every time my friends rave about it and I'm like: after the first 2 hours or so you've pretty much done everything the game has to offer and you're just doing that on loop for 40 more hours.
Eventually 100 years from now the Assassin's Creed series will still go on... We will call it Hitman
No just...no
I’ve never had problems one hundred presenting Assassin’s Creed 1. The only thing I did have problems with were finding the flags, I would usually have maps online to show me where they are, and they did usually come in handy but while going through the story I would accidentally get a couple of flags, then when I went to get all the flags achievements I wouldn’t know where they are or I would think that I already got it but then it turn out that I didn’t so then I’d have go through all the flags again to see with one I missed. I love Assassin’s Creed game but that always pisses me off with I why I rarely one hundred percent that game! You bet you’re ass I’d definitely 100% if it’s remaster or redesigned!!
Love to jirard and the whole team for this awesome channel ❤️😊
YE!
I beat the game and I don’t think I ever lost a Templar or flag. I got 100% sync
Same here got it all on one go no problems.
redmanspryd3 yeah, I wonder why he seems to have so many issues.
Lucky bugger. Mine froze all the time. And by all the time that included mid autosave 4 times. With the latest one being after the second last boss. Thought long and hard whether i wanted to complete games after that
I guess it's all on luck. I managed to complete this game three or four years ago I think the only difficulty I had was one templar but other than that no problems. I honestly didn't realize this game actually glitched or bugged out on other gamers.
redmanspryd3 yeah same
you gotta re-play Catherine eventually, Jirard...
and sonic '06
Funny thing is i never found the game repetitive. Call me crazy but i love it's unique mission design.
I loved the Desmond/modern day sections of the AC games until the end of 3. It had a really interesting/unsettling feel to it.
awww sry you had a bad time jirard
I completely agree with your rating. I played it on Steam for the first time a long time ago and I didn't even do a completionist run (call it a semi-completionist run) and the game really frustrated me with stuff that would happen or bugs that would appear. Also, it really irked me when the story had not even a smidge of a resolution, the story being the only reason I had to finish the game.
All I think of is that my friends..... Are guys in hoods
I just replayed this game for the first time since back in 2010. I enjoyed the main plot but hated everything it took for me to get there
When are you doing Big Chungus...
sadly it's impossible to complete.
the requirement to complete Big Chungus… *is to become one with Big Chungus*
the game's too big to complete
Big chungus is love... big chungus is life...
But those multiplayer achievements in the chungi mode are gonna be a pain for him.
Omg guys you are soooo funny 😑👌
AC1 was the first thing I saw Kristen Bell in. It really weirded me out when I saw her in a movie years later and finally remembered her being in AC1 after like half an hour. There was just something eerie about seeing the same face just not 3D modeled anymore. I doubt it would bother me as much now, though, since scanning voice actors' faces is a bit more commonplace.
Not surprised to hear this rating. I absolutely hated the first Assassin's Creed when I first played it because I felt like I couldn't do anything after losing all my powers, Metroid style. Also the reason for it was duuuuuumb. Losing my equipment fine, I'm not allowed to use that stuff anymore because the boss said so, I can accept that. Forgetting how to do certain moves though? That's just ridiculous. Anyway a few years later I came back to it and actually LOVED the game! I ate it up and blasted through it in a few days and then immediately charged into Assassin's Creed 2. About 30 minutes into the second game I was thinking "Man, now that I have this better version AC1 seems pretty bad huh?"
I respect the first game for starting the series and it's unfair to judge it against the games that built on what it began, but I can't help but feel like it's pointless now with how good the sequel was.
While AC may have been, and probably will continue to be, buggy as all hell I cannot help but look past that as I just found the base game and story enjoyable. However, the latest releases of Origins and Odyssey, are just not for me. Everything I loved about the games are completely gone in Origins and Odyssey, not to mention this new protag they just threw in with not much explanation. In my opinion, Origins suffered in the fact that the game opened in the middle of what seemed like act 3, with no information to go on, and Odyssey made you play the whiniest spartan every imagined.This isn't to mention how little the cult leaders mattered in the end in Origins. And why are we going to Vikings? Origins ended with Julius Caesar becoming the "father of understanding" or the origination of the Templar order, and Odyssey took us back to Greece. I'm just restarting AC 3, and I realized by an accidental pause when some pop-up was up, that Altair ain't even the first ancestor, there's some guy named Aquilus back during the time of Rome. Also, you may have encountered bugs for side missions and challenges like flags and Templars disappearing, in Odyssey, I had a Cultist bug-out on me. Now I can't ever complete the main story of Odyssey, unless I decide to do the entire agonizing 30+ hours again, and hope the same cultist doesn't glitch out again.
The first one needs to be remade with some of the modern gameplay added to it , as it hasn't aged well and was kinda,clunky even at the time.
Honestly that would kinda suck. The only real things that should change about it are the updated smoothness of free running, and crouching, maybe the walking/running assassinations they introduced in 3. Its combat is still among my favorite in the whole series because it rewards skilled gameplay and tactical thinking as opposed to the kill combos of ac3/4 or the parry heavy Unity combat. And I kinda like how air assassinations are still possible but you have to do that yourself, not just stand above them and press X
@@fangsabre I would want the combat from at least Brotherhood/Revelation, I find the combat in 1 to just be too clunky and stiff.
@@princeblackelf4265 I like the combat of those games, but honestly I like the combat from AC1 better. If you're good at it you can be pretty fluid. Timing your attacks to get kills faster, dodging instead of using the counter all the time, throwing enemies into each other, the guard break, and watching the guards body language to see when they're open to heavier attacks is pretty fun. I liked the kill chains of Brotherhood/revelations but AC1 felt more challenging and more rewarding of skill
@@fangsabre I don't know, I think the combat from syndicate was pretty good
I never understood why people hated the flags in this game, they usually involved lots of climbing, jumping, sometimes a small puzzle to work out how to get to them. What I didn't like was having no way of knowing where they could be without checking every single alleyway and every single rooftop of every building in every town and city, miss 1 flag and it's goodbye achievement. Map markers are something which has been added in later games, but they went overboard in recent titles, some exploration is good Ubisoft! Regardless they were never "mindless" collectables like I see in many other games where you just check every corner, which involves no gameplay just busywork.
Ace combat please! 7 comes out next week!
Unless they got an early version I doubt you'll see it soon. And knowing about their situations from past videos the chances of them getting early access is low.
Any ace combat game would be great. It’s not a series that’s covered often on mainstream gaming TH-cam. I think it would be awesome to do 4:Shattered Skies or 5: Unsung war
When this game came out, it was a blast. I have the PS3 version and, honestly, I really enjoyed it although it was far from perfect (I played it and finished it in 2015, years after its release). Upon beating the game, I also wished there was more done on the Miles' part of the story (or lack thereof) and gathering the flags was quite tedious. While I never look at walkthroughs to complete a game, I did it to get all the flags since I was getting bored of just wandering, hoping to find a flag while the beggars and drunk guys are being annoying af (not to mention going through the fucking cutscenes everytime!!!) Still, considering it was the first of the franchise, I still think they did a fairly good job at it. I would have at least given it a "play it" rating, but then again, I didn't have the glitch problems and all. Maybe the PS3 version is better on that part despite not having achievements.
I wish they would remaster all the games and remove the modern day crap I know theirs the Ezio collection but I want all the games 1-4 with better graphics all the dlc and no modern day or at least skippable
I remember buying this game, it was the first M rated game I ever owned, beat it in less than a week and went out shortly after and bought the entirety of the series that's on the 360, the difference between the first and second games was awe inspiring and it's always stuck with me, good series but I'm stuck till I can get the system to proceed with unity, syndicate, etc
This series was fun up to black flag and thats pushing it the series is washed out and boring
Agreed
That's 100% truth
As a fan of the series I agree that it's getting kinda washed out and should start finding and end point but also like the direction origins put the series intro with Odyssey. It was nominated for goty and that's surprising.
@@zombibyte Fortnite won over GoW and Red Dead 2 and is in the same category as Fallout NV and The Witcher 3. A nomination for GOTY is all but a joke these days.
I must have been real lucky when I played the game. I never had any issues with the flags or templars that I know of. It was the first game I ever completed, and I loved it! It made me want to start completing other games, even though I'm not good at it. lol
Black Flag, Odyssey and AC3 is soooo good!
The first game does hold a special place in my heart tho'
I’ve seen how the PC version of Assassin’s Creed runs and wow it runs far smoother than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Sure the PC version has no achievements but if the PC version runs the best it makes me wonder why he didn’t just complete that version as it also comes with a few missions that aren’t in the console versions.
First game is terrible
I went spastic and knocked over my coffee at game breaking glitch nr 30, good game, 6/10
Honestly the concept of assassins are cool and it was, until it was squeezed into a profit goldmine but origins and odyssey are probably the 2 best AC games.
Odyssey is better, change my mind.
I agree, but there is something about 2 that was just amazing for me
I agree origins and odyssey brought me back in the franchise but I think the Ezio trilogy still tops these two games better story but the new ones have better mechanics
Odyssey ditched the storyline they've been building up since 3 to resolve it in a sidestory comic, and gave it multiple endings ruining the cohesive narrative of the series as a whole, problem with that is it's a series thats main appeal was it's storyline not its gameplay
Jirard, you should complete Sonic Adventure 2 for a future New Game Plus video.
Nice video guys! I'm excited for more Completionist in 2019
When you say you're playing it on 360, do you mean the 360 version on the Xbox One?
I love Assassin’s Creed, but this is probably the worst one imo lol
DJ Dragon Nah Unity is by far the worst one. Even without the horrible glitches (which idk if it’s been fixed yet) it’s still a terrible story with pretty average gameplay
I disagree lol
It's weak, even after the second one came out it was already so clunky that it was impossible to go back to, AC2 fixed so much so quickly. The best thing it did was properly feel like an assassin taking out targets as opposed to Ezio being a more Monte Cristo revenge tale
AC1 desperately needs a remake with the fixes later installments did to the gameplay
It probably is. It's quite repetitve but you have to give it credit for kicking off such an amazing franchise. Plus as was said in the beginning, it inspired a lot of games like Tomb Raider reboot and Horizon Zero Dawn. I still prefer it to AC3 though. Really dislike that one
Nothing will ever beat (hopefully) Unity as the worst one.
Why not play these old 360 games on the Xbox One X? Some (like Assassin's Creed) are essentially remastered in 4K and it's fun to revisit old games, but with much improved graphics. And the achievements still work!
I feel with you. Assassin's Creed was a chore to complete.
by the way: Still waiting for Hollow Knight.
It came free on Games with Gold the other month. It's backwards compatible on Xbox One too. Next time you replay a 360 game, try playing it on the One
Not surprising the atmosphere and setting is one of the things he really likes. May or may not be related but Jirard is Arabic by blood if I recall. Its just like how I love Nordic and Czech lore. You can't help it
I completed it in about 2010 and I never encountered any bugs.
The only annoying thing was that in 2 cities I missed one flag and had to go to EVERY flag location again until I found which I'd missed and both of them where in the 60+ range.
Other than that I did play it through twice [well 3 times because I had played it through once in 2007] because I didn't realise the talk to what's her name was missable.
4:04 lmao the dude running....
I would have rated it play it but I had nearly no glitches. I understand tho. Being a completionist glitched can really screw u over
Oh, how I've missed the hidden blade assassination sound.
Jirard liked it so he put a beard on it
bruh just play a pc version
Please play...
-Watch_Dogs
-Watch_Dogs 2
-Prey
-Celeste
-Hollow Knight
-Dead Cells
All I can think of off the top of my head so add other games in the comments and I'll edit it!
I remember seeing my daughter playing this and I had not played it. SO I got the first game and boom straight down the rabbit hole and now in the process of finishing Odyssey. Assassins Creed never get old. Thanks for the review, PC version was good :)
3:55 i hear fight club, that's assasasin's creed 3, i see you
I feel like the gameplay in AC games is great fun, but dear god the missions are so boring...
I actually liked it more the second time.
Yeah... AC1 really doesn't hold up anymore. I'm glad that it was my entrance into the series, but I'm not looking back. If I want to revisit the plot, TH-cam exists. XP
Prince of persia is better. U still haven't played the warrior within and the two thrones
I had a flag in Jerusalem disappear, stuck at 99/100 forever.
Wow I had no idea how much of a glitchy mess AC1 was, even with completing it myself fairly recently. But really, the main thing to take away from trying to complete an Assassin's Creed game is to NOT DO IT ALL AT ONCE. You have the patience of a saint, Jirard. o7
God I hated this game so much back in the day. I felt like it robbed us of the Price of Persia series. And the some degree it did. And I never liked the Middle East setting either. Then Ezio came along and I absolutely adored Assassin’s Creed 2 and the next 2 games. Assassin’s Creed 3 was okay but with a shitty ending. And Assassin’s Creed 4 came along with its stupid boat that was absurdly overused and it was downhill from there. Today I hate what Assassin’s Creed has become and make no mistake, those Whitcher ripoffs are not Assassin’s Creed games. They’re just a bunch of crappy, generic RPGs with the AC title slapped on.
Not gunna lie, I still think Assassin's Creed 1 is solid, if only because it really focused on the assassination aspect. Everything you do is in an effort to gain Intel to make your assassinations go more smoothly. Apart from the flags. Fuck those flags.
Every game since has diluted that more and more with bullshit littered around these huge maps, while refining the actual mechanics to make them feel better.
Assassin's Creed was so innocent and pure back then. Repetitive as all fuck, granted, but it wasn't littered with microtransactions. Back then, it was Assassin's Creed. Now; it's Assassin's Greed.
I disagree! For me there IS nostalgia for Altair!! While this game is undoubtedly the most held back and least varied of the series, I still weirdly find it my favorite to go back and play because of the weirdness and mystery of the modern day story combined with the truly unique setup of the historical segments!
Man, looking back now, this game was revolutionary for its time. But now, it's very formulaic and beat by beat in its game design structure. Still, can't thank the series enough for what it has reined in.
Lots of allusions to Jirard possibly killing someone...
We need to check on Ted.
When we gonna get an Assassins Creed 2 completionist? 🤨
I remember being 10 years old going into gamestop my grandma had took me every single time and i remeber seeing the hidden blade of altiars wrist and the white hooded robe on the front of the game case i immediately knew i wanted this game so i brought it up to the counter and told the employee that i wanted this game with a cute lil smile on my face he looked at me then looked at the game he then said "u have chosen wise " at the time i jus rlly wanted to get home and play that shit so i didint think much of it he then began to ring it up and since my grandma was a fan of games herself she was browsing the store while i was paying the store manager said i lobe assassin creed games and giveing the fact he said GAMES with a S i was curious so i asked him wait there are more still with the same smile i gave before he then stopped bagging the game up and said yes and there something u want to experience on your own so he bagged the game up and we headed home when i got home i had noticed the bag still had a game case outline inside of it laying on the floor and i paused ac 1 and picked it up and to my surprise there it was ac 2 with a note on the inside of the game case and it read " everything is true nothing is forbidden" hints to the reference of the game i was young and didint kno what it ment i jus thought he must have accidentally put ac 2 in the bag a few weeks later i had beat ac 1 and was moveing on to the second game an in the game as u may know it says the same refrance "everything is true nothing is forbidden" and then it clicked .......
