anybody else get nostalgic hearing the original AC soundtrack at the beginning ?
Yea me.. lol.. Nostalgic.. remembering death of Desmond Miles which is saddest scene of AC series..
its not the original but its the most well known and along with its origin, ezio, became the face of the franchise.
The Fallen Night yeah 😢
@@sparkz5036 but remixed
Yes Me.. And i came searching for this comment while pausing the video at the beginning of video.!
Altaïr: I fear no man...
But that thing
*Body of water*
Altaïr: it scares me
IKR lol
actually it wasnt that Altair cannot swim. The animus was not advance enough to render swimming mechanisms.
@@sansaravi7190 oh thought swimming wasn't even a thing back then.
Sanket Molting, ohh I get it.
Assassin's Brotherhood
Bruh games had swimming for years before ac1
They only made that why because lore
I swam across the whole map in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. It took 4 hours and 51 minutes.
Thats a torture
@robert dawson To find out how big the map is
@@kinggloria2975 It's not that I walked around a whole planet in No Man's Sky! That would be a torture. That would take like 29 hours!
How Big is the Map? Id probably fall sleep and realized that i got off track lol
@robert dawson Of course. I got more than 100K views.
TO this day... AC1 still looks amazing. And when it came out... WOW. It blew me away. I'm happy to have known this series.
I have AC 1 on PS 3
Good times
I personally thought AC1 looked better then AC2
it did. I was in 9th grade. too bad the game was repetitive asf
It's probably because the gameplay was from either Xbox One X or PC.
I feel like I'm in the minority of people who really liked AC Unity. Story was well paced (a tiny bit slow), very well thought out, and nicely tied into various historical events. The world design was one of the best EVER, coupled with great graphics and atmosphere. Plus, Arno was a pretty great character, I was a big fan.
Unity is pretty good now after all the bug fixes. It has some of my favorite combat in the franchise
The atmosphere is brutally good. I like the dark and rough touch...
I liked Unity, too. It has the second most interesting setting for me, it made the combat more challenging and it had great side missions. I absolutely loved the murder mysteries.
Loved AC unity 🙂
Unity was awesome, especially after bug fixes.
I still remember when Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty had some kind of a rivalry on which is more popular.
I thought it was Call of Duty and Battlefield
@@Foxy_Playz05 popular. not better.kinda like comparing pokemon to uhhhhhh. like. idk. yugio?
@@hunterhutchings2784 Pokémon is without a doubt the most popular franchise. That’s just my opinion
@@Foxy_Playz05 yeah. i was just saying comparing what is similar is different to pupolar
@@Foxy_Playz05 Popular but not better
Unity actually looks real good despite everyone hating it
It's a pretty solid AC game, it's worth playing if your a fan off the series.
It had the best character customization. I loved it
When it works well it can be a fun game too but does get a bit dull and long winded with reptitive stuff. I actually liked running around the map in unity it was nice and the interiors and designs was really good imo. Shame about no day night cycle
No day/night cycle... Did we even play the same game? Yeah, it takes a while for hours to pass in the game, but it most certainly has a day/night cycle. A very similar cycle to Syndicate, actually
Travis Glaze nope the time of day only changes when you fast travel.its not dynamic like the ones that came before it.
I loved the Kenway line..!!!
Edward, Haytham and Conner..
I also liked Altair and Ezio
Asif Iqbal Ezio and Edward were 🐐
.... You liked Haytham?...The quality was good but the character was one I could never empathize with.
Asif Iqbal Connor*
Liked?!?!?!
Kenway, Ezio are very well crafted characters, I love both of them.
Just finished Unity and I loved it. Just 2 bugs in the entire game. Worth checking out
Ppl are saying unity> syndicate others say syndicate> unity. What’s your opinion ?
Sean Combs brotherhood> every other ac game
MIKEDOES couldn’t agree more.
@@kindajacked5154 Obviously Unity > Syndicate. Jacob and Evie were nice characters but the game lacked many things and didn't give the 'Assasin's Creed' feeling much.. On the other hand Unity is decent with the smoothest assasin
I feel like that game got better with time. It's evolved to be one of my favorites.
AC has been one of, if not the most important game franchises to me personally. You almost made a old AC fan cry man. Def showing this to all my friends. Keep it up.
I'm with you there man
Yeah I have many fond memories playing ezio trilogy.I played the one with the native American assassin but I fell of the franchise after that. I'm interested in playing origins and the new odyssey
Ye this game was my child hood
I still get the chills everytime i think of the time back in 06/07 when I saw the first trailer and read the first article from the game... Wow just wow!!!! BTW i've played al of them!
@@Osiris4441 ye i have played all of them
23:03
I immediately smiled on hearing Black Flag's main theme.
Jaime Black Flag will always be the best in the series for me IMO
@@Agito4774 1, 2, and 4 are my favorites, Altair, Ezio and Edward were my favorites.
Black flag was my favourite too! I played it when I was 9 years old! I'm 15 now and I effing love assassin creed!
For me, Black Flag is the greatest game experience in the Assasins Creed lineage .... but I love all of them.
We all did my friend, we all did
I really love AC 3. It's still one of my favorite AC game.
Altair got saddest life :
Lost his father from a family friend
Unknown mother
Family friend dad slit his throat when he was 10
Killed his master
Wife was murdered
Youngest son executed by best friend
Killed his best friend
I feel like his story is rivalled (if not better) by Edward, Ezio and Connor.
his mother died during childbirth. Her name was Maud, a Christian, who was married to Altair's father Umar
also Abu Sofian was just his childhood friend. His best friend and his closest ally was Rafiq, who was murdered by Abu Sofian.
@@ShaddoII xD
I’d say Connor had the saddest one. He watched his mother burn to death, killed his father, unknowingly fought for the people who burned his village and got his mother killed, had his mentor die, and really just lost everything
I don’t care about the opinions of others. I’ve played every single AC game since the first one, and I’ve enjoyed every single one of them, even the reboot with Origins and look forward to Odyssey. I look forward to new AC games in future as well. Thanks Ubisoft for these games and memories.
Same here bro, i'm a loyalist since the beginning when i thought a new Prince Of Persia was coming and instead became AC lol
You even liked the Chronicles series?
I played them and other side stuff like that Facebook game that no longer exists. The Chronicles series were pretty good and challenging for a couple of games. I'm a sucker for detailed info on story background lol
Yay another game with another artifact to hunt. Happy choring
Yup. I like some more than others, but every game has been enjoyable
The ending of ac1 always gives me goosebumps. The plot twist had me tripping.
I did it again 3 weeks ago. The graphic of the cutscenes doesn't look that nice, but the game itself still look very nice.
I just completed AC 1 yesterday and i have to say its a masterpiece if we ignore the repititive gameplay and year it was released in . Like the graphics are so much better relative to the time
Awesome thorough analysis. Never thought I'd be watching all 40 minutes of it when I clicked but it was worth it.
agreed!

Edward is my favorite
I'd say Edward is pretty noteworthy.
Desmond
My head hurt from nodding while you were talking about ACIII. One of my favourites for sure and most definetely underappreciated! Also, good work, man!
One of my favourite instalments too, definitely under appreciated.
My favourite installment out of them all. Finally. People that agree with me
It introduced me to the series and i fell in love instantly
I can remember i was 16 ( i'm 27) now and i got AC for my birthday i wasnt allowed to play 18+ videoagames from my mother but she made a exception for this one -
because it was about history .
I cant stop playing ever since xD
this has nothing to do with history though, except for like Leonardo Da Vinci etc
Your story just gave me 2000's vibes lol.
The medci assassination was in ac2 I didn't know why they where killed in the game until I learned it was based off of real history
I played 18+ games like Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs since i'm 12 tho
James North Sokrates in ac odyssey
You can tell Nick930 is a DEDICATED Assassin's Creed fan when the man's Unity map is absolutely cleared of the cluttered collectibles. Kudos to you brother for going the extra mile to collect everything. Especially those damned artifacts.... I would know... ;)
Haha, glad someone noticed. I remember booting that game up every day for months trying to clean up that map. Not gonna let those bugs get me down :P
I noticed that too. Coincidentally, he talked about the bugs as he showed his completed storyline, lol.
@@patrickv.3979 I barely game and I've completed the game 150% right down to the last collectible and achievement, not very hard to do!
@@Nick930 I was the same :D
@Mathieu Levert poor bastard lmao
ACII and ACB together are still among my favorite games of all time. Still being directed by Patrice and composed by Jesper. They felt so immersive, almost like I was in the animus myself. A feeling that the series hasn't been able to capture since for me even though I have loved playing the more recent games.
Exactly the same for me! i WAS desmond!
I love AC III. The intro was pretty sweet to me. I enjoyed Connor. I really don’t get the hate
Bree jordan same
I completely agree with you, connor will always be my favorite...the trailer for AC3 is what pulled me in and I think out of all the assassins up until origins connor had the best assassin outfit.
AC3 was the most entertaining in the series. It was the perfect open world action game. Connor and Haytham were brutal fighters.
@Van Hub Gaming Thor is stronger than both characters together, especially in his last appearance smh
@@Erg893 Why are you bringing Thor into this? It's like bringing Doom Guy into the topic of human shooter heroes like Max Payne, Nathan Drake etc
This is what we want when we say history of the ac franchise
Thank you for giving us this
God bless
Assassins creed 1 was way ahead of it’s time. It looked absolutely amazing, and still does till this day
Assassins creed is a good franchise
*was
*is
It is, also, Odyssey looks similar to origins, but it is very much improved, I think Odyssey will be a good game.
It was good but now its just blah mabye the new can change that
always is *
This is how video game history suppose to be made.
You haven't played Commandos and Age of Empires series then...
@@nayyarrashid4661 Age of Empires is hardly historically accurate or educational...
I cant lie Unity looks amazing visually way better than Syndicate.
IMO Unity has the best looking fabric textures and cloth physics in the series.
I have to agree they are in the other games but not as good.
I actually preferred Syndicate
@@lulumce6281 The game or the cloth physX?
Don't compare games asshole it's the same
You say Altaïr was dull and uncharismatic, while for me he was the best character of all.
Altaïr had a mystery and code around him.
I felt much more curious and wondrous when playing as Altaïr.
He was the epitomization of the the assassins.
I felt like I was playing something larger than myself, while Ezio's core story felt more like a soap opera full of clichés, especially the playboy attitude.
This attitude was everything the assassins weren't, unresponsible and driven by primitive emotions.
I could not take Ezio seriously when he said the phrases of the assassins.
For me, Ezio felt much more shallow.
"We work in the dark, to serve the light" felt dishonest when Ezio said it, "I work in the dark, to serve MY light" would have suited him better.
Don't misunderstand me, they were great games and very interesting.
But the mystical journey I had with Altaïr was never recreated in the whole series.
Sorry to butt in so randomly, but I just have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. I simply cannot see how so many people see Altaïr's character or story as dull or uncharismatic, to me up to this day Altaïr's story is still my favorite storyline in the franchise. I started with Brotherhood originally, so Ezio was my first Assassin. When I had time enough to spare I went back to the older ones, and I have to say that in AC2 especially, Ezio was insufferable to me at times. I can definitely appreciate his character development by the end of Revelations, and I do see how Ezio and Altaïr's circumstances were extremely different - Altaïr was born into the Order and was in a way a part of it from a young age, while Ezio only found out about the Order after the beginning of AC2. Keeping that and the emotional strain the death of most of his family left on him in mind it made it understandable that he needed a bit of time to fall into the role of an Assassin. But what turned me off from him was the initial first impression the game went with already. Both, Ezio and Altaïr displayed pride and arrogance at the start of the game, but the effects that follow afterward are completely different. Altaïr's arrogance is the immediate cause of Kadar's death, Malik's permanent injury which basically tears his Assassin career away from him forever, and the siege of Masyaf with a number of other deaths stacking up. Ezio, on the other hand, is allowed to bask in his pride and arrogance after the glorious victory after Federico shows up.
From the very first cutscene in AC1 I was invested in the characters present. When I returned to Masyaf, the victory at the siege didn't feel like a victory at all, and in my opinion, Malik's VA did an amazing job portraying his grief and anger at the loss of his brother. At the time, Altaïr might have still displayed some of his arrogance, but as a player, I felt all the guilt on his behalf. So the game clearly was doing something right with its portrayal, at least for me. The same investment continued through the game, where I would physically shrink away whenever I entered Jerusalem Bureau and Malik started to yell at Altaïr. I loved watching both of them slowly develop and meet each other halfway until they finally buried the hatchet and finally fully started to trust each other and formed a deep friendship. These feelings were only strengthened when I returned from Arsuf (that in itself had an amazing effect on me with its atmosphere), already mentally and emotionally drained, only to walk into the unsettling atmosphere that was Masyaf and having to kill my own allies. And who shows up with his support group but Malik. I was never happier to see him, and I really felt like he had Altaïr's back at that point. I also loved his response to Altaïr's greeting - Safety and peace. In the beginning, it was "Your presence here deprives me of both." By the end, it changed to "Your presence here will deliver us both." It was a really simple line, but it showed just how much newfound trust and respect he had for Altaïr.
Revelations then did a great job with the memories expanding on Altaïr and Maria, which is another relationship I wholeheartedly enjoyed. To me, Altaïr's story was by far the most tragic, especially in his later years, where he lost his son, his best friend, his wife and the Order all in one day, simply because of Abbass' grudge. I could never really forgive Abbass as a character, especially after Altaïr worked so hard to keep the Order afloat after the disaster in AC1. It really did hurt watching him be chased out by his own, and seeing him reclaim the Order was all the more satisfying. To me, he really was a true Assassin and even after he was chased out by his own Order and grieving the many many losses, he never really stopped working with the best interests for the Order. The only thing I'm sad I never got to see again was Malik in the role of Altaïr's advisor. Especially if he kept his firey personality.
I'm not sure about the general consensus on the Secret Crusade novel since I don't really see it discussed often, but I really did love it. It was a beautiful retelling of the story with some more insight into Altaïr's thoughts and made some key moments which were already powerful in the game all the more powerful and emotional, especially with the end when Malik's son helps Altaïr reclaim the Order through peaceful means, a small detail that allowed Malik to come through for Altaïr one last time through his son.
TL;DR - At least to me personally, Altaïr's story was a rollercoaster of emotions. His story is many things, but bland, uninspired and uncharismatic are not one of them. I loved almost all the characters in it, even the ones who died early such as Kadar were given presence and meaning through the feelings of grief and loss of the characters, and didn't feel unimportant, even though we as the player barely knew them. Altaïr to me was a true Assassin who reached the truer, deeper understanding of the code. He may not have been my first Assassin, but he was indeed the Assassin I was the most invested in by far. Also sorry for the wall of text, whoever read so far, I hope it was at least worth your time :)
YumikoStarlight That’s a great reply, I read through all of it. That’s why ACR has to be amongst my favourite, got to play wizened Ezio and Altaïr
I have the same idea.
Both are great protagonists. Ezio needed alot of character development to be loved while Altair’s mysterious character was enough to attract fans even if he had only one game.
If AC revelations didnt expand on Ezio’s character the way it did, I wouldn’t have taken Ezio seriously, especially with how he started out in AC 2.
However in Altair’s case, one game was enough for me to love his character yet i felt like wanting more. He always gave me a very mysterious vibe which i absolutely love about him. Altair was the most assassin-like assassin in the series.
I didnt like Altair at all in AC1.....untill AC revelation
The amount of sacrifices he choose for the greater good of his brotherhood easily made him my second most favourite protagonist in franchise.
I'm a newcomer to the game, and this video was really useful for understanding both the story in game and the history of the franchise. Thank you for making this! Also: the first AC game I played was Unity, about a year ago, and with my limited knowledge of the franchise, I thought (and still think) the game was really good. Then recently I started hearing that it is known as the worst AC. I didn't think it was that bad, but maybe I played it after they fixed the game or something.
Ppl complained due to when game cane out it was glitchy. All and all story is great. Still to date ac2 is my Fab. Odysee is come at a solid second
I played it recently. I wish some things were done better, but I liked it overall a lot. Didn't get any DLCs. I might when really bored.
@@dodesskiy1 it has dead kings which is free?
@@blockaderunner3582 Free now to me since what I got was a complete whichever edition. It also has another DLC arms of the revolution if I'm right. I'd trade it all for more 1944 Paris, and stealthing the NAZIs not just shooting at the plane. They will just not touch WW2 it seems, unless to write that it was fake. Yeah tell my grandmother that, she was evacuated, one of my grandfathers fought in a tank, other infantry. This is why they don't touch it, too many would get insulted whatever they did with it.
@@blockaderunner3582 And it was freaking awesome to play as a knight in the 1200s, I so wish that was another DLC...
AC 2,Brotherhood and Revelations are the best. Masterpieces.
Indeed
Indeed, but Black Flag is also legendary!
@@nertoni fair enough but o loved the ezio trilogy more than black flag however black flag was better than revelations in my opinion
@@harun706 me to I love more the Ezio story, but Black Flag was a breath of fresh air in the AC series that I really enjoyed playing, the massive beautiful open world and the main character Kenway, and the historical figures like Edward „Blackbeard“ Thatch, Benjamin Hornigold, Anne Bonny, Jack Rackham, Charles Vane, and Mary Read were stunning to interact with these characters and the friendships that were made, ultimately experiencing the life of a pirate was an amazing experience.
@@nertoni very true, I too did enjoy sailing the seas and the pirate theme.
This is probably the best AC series video on youtube. Nice job man! BTW, include a $1 option on your patreon
Thanks for letting me know. I created a $1 tier option :)
Please include a 25 cent option on your Patreon bro I only have 25 cents in my bank account please bro god PLEASE
he included one, just for brokes like us XD
Nick930 introduce 0.05$ one pls i only have low moaniey
@@RealMisterDoge LMAO
Assassins creed unity is fine imo, I love it.
"dull and uncharismatic altair" yeah he was groomed to kill, blend in with the crowds and be efficient at all time, unlike ezio... dya really expect a suave arab with a colourful oil tycoon personality?
This comment deserves WAY more than 4 likes lmao
I'd rather play as the suave Arab to be honest.
Lmaoooo *@Ezio* 😂😅😭
I would like to add the fact that Altair was born into the Assassins But Ezio chose to become an Assassin of course Ezio will be more charismatic he actually has a life before he became an Assassin but Altair he only knows the way that he was taught to be an Assassin. I think they should make another game about Altair with all the swords and the Crusaders really its how all the Assassins Games should've been.
@sudha bhatt There's more to a character than that though. Altair was far better written than Ezio as a character because of his arc and the way he evolves whereas Ezio was so focused on being written as "cool and likable" that it made his character worse
i think they should go for asia , would like to see a samurai version of AC, that would be awesome.
Pedro SilvaArch they did China id think so now
i hope they won't
im just saying not all asian stuff has samurais
@Snatsirt You know it already is
They’re gonna save that for their franchise savior.
When it’s truly close to death and they need a sure fire hit.
I love Unity. It’s so good. Still my favorite AC game. After some patches it’s still the most beautiful game. Love it.
you obviously haven’t played ac2 then
I think black flag is the best
8 Legged Kings I’ve played a little bit of AC ll but didn’t really like it. Maybe I’ll give it another go
@@8leggedkings529 to be honest ive tried it 5 months ago, dont really like it. Maybe the story is what makes everyone love it but the controls,graphics,etc is a nightmare. Main reason of why i dont really like it is the controls, it is so hard for me to parkour with a really clunky movement, so i gave up until 35 minutes of keep falling down
I would say unity and syndicate are one of my favorites because of the improvement in parkour and the scenery but Ezio's story line wins by far every other ac game. I also love odyssey but I don't think it should be part of the ac line, same with origins and valhalla, they just don't have those mechanics that made the game how it is
You can see how much work you put in each Video! Its super entertaining
I hate how underrated AC Rogue is
Ikr it was my first AC game, Shay will always be best for me I also love Altair and Ezio
Ahhhh good old Shat XD I love Shay so much!
Rogue and black flag are my favorites....funny when Shay was a former assassin for most of the game and Edward was never actually an assassin, just permitted to wear the robes. Though in AC 3 it was said haythams dad did end up becoming one.
Facts.
Tbh, Black flag and rouge are the only ones I've played, but I never understood the hate for it.
I loved it. It was my first "modern" AC game in the sense it had the fluid nature of AC 3 and AC 4
"the liberation of Rome has begun, my friend."
“There was a dream that was Rome, it shall realized”
Wait, I heard Ezio's voice...how's it possible?
Requesta de pache!
Connor used a tomahawk. Not a hatchet
Tomahawks were a kind of mace I'm pretty sure.
@@fearz-4367 no that's a tomahawk
@@fearz-4367 LOL u just made my day xD
A kind of mace lmao
Its a goddamm Tomahawk
The Ezio Triology was by far the best🐸☕️
Brotherhood was my favourite
for me Black Flag had the best replay value, but the only time I remember being blown away was Brotherhood. ACIII and Unity have best settings but waste them IMO
tropicAces
I actually really enjoyed AC3, I felt like Connor could’ve been portrayed and written better though, he felt a bit off at times. There was some rememberable set pieces and characters that made it feel different, I’m interested to see how Ubisoft implement the remastered version of it
I used to agree, but Origins & Odyssey are way and above better than anything that came before them. There's more depth to both the stories and the game play, there's more diverse armour that offers benefits to play style, the worlds are bigger and more detailed, the quests are more varied... the Ezio games aren't even in the same league even though they're great in their own right.
Kenway Saga ftw, i loved every game from AC3 to AC4 more than any other AC games
Assassin's Creed taught me more about history than school ever did
Well then...
@@Ace-ih2fm now wot
If you actually are aware of what is happening in the game and where you are and who do you kill, not only listen to the story, then maybe, if you are curious enough. But if not, most games start with things like: "Inspired by historical events and characters, this work of fiction" etc.
Personally, I thought every AC was pretty dam great. I don't know why Unity go so much hate on this, since it was a really great game other than a few bugs
I just got unity during this hell of a pandemic and I love it
I love Unity. Compared to Odyssey atm it's basically bug free. Odyssey has crashed on me so many times, every day or two days, and had instances of my character either going invisible or flashing visible-invisible. Still playing it though, deeply engrossing.
@@MarkWhiley what platform do you play on? I'm on pc and I have around 112 hours in Odyssey and I can count the number of times it crashed on 1 hand.
They’re all good but unity’s is probably the least good one
MIKEDOES the only problem I have is a minor one with the plot, but Unity is still a million times better than odyssey, it was absolute garbage
I really hope AC1 gets a remake.
I agree
"Ubisoft will now continue with their annual release dates"
2019:
I Think they took another year off, I heard of a new AC game releasing this year I think it has something to do with Vikings this time, but what I am afraid for, is that the game is gonna be much like AC odessey not much of an assassin’s game more like a For Honor game
@@lHeatedl what can they do after vikings?
SyPhOn 123 idk
SyPhOn 123 but I hope they do some samurai/ninja assassin
@@lHeatedl isnt there a ghost tsuhima or something like that coming out. Its supposed to be that
Just a hopeful wish. But wouldn't it be awesome if they made an assasins creed on the sengoku period of Japan focusing around oda nobunaga or an assasins creed during the three kingdoms era of china. Wah u guys think?
They should do that. Its been so requested but for some reason they ignored it. But anyways the series look like its getting back on theyre feet. Altought they are diferent from any ac that ever came out, origins and odyssey are great games
I’m hoping too since it fits so well with Ninja and Samurai.
Well there is dialogue in Odyssey that mentions Japan.
Yup I seen that part.
The way it's becoming there won't be any Assassin's or a Creed
Now: They make Vietnam War their next title.
Assassin’s Creed: Flashbacks.
Turtle Gaming 23 I believe one of the comics has done that era haha
CodeBionic also in the comics I believe haha
CodeBionic no that would be terrible
If they made AC in the Wild West era it would be compared to Red Dead. The game would probably feel like a bit of a copy cat gameplay wise.
@CodeBionic I had that idea as well how about a AC game in WW2
Calling Revelations "ultimately a forgettable experience" because it didn't 'innovate' got me so mad. That scene where you find Altair's skeleton still gives me chills when I think about it. The maps and the music of that game stuck with me for years.
Same, I loved Revelations. When Revelations came out I wasn't expecting some new revolutionary game mechanics, but I was looking forward to the story and the plot. Ac 2 game mechanics were already good enough.
Brooo i was boutta dropkick my phone
0:12 this music is making me cry...
AC Unity was and is massively underrated... the Beauty of the world and all its possibilities is breathtaking and its still worth playing years after its release and is still uplifting to play.
Sadly its successor, Syndicate, remained as under-saturated as its graphics often was
Unity was a solid AC game, pretty underrated if you ask me. Fun gameplay, interesting story, customization, fun little quest in the world, and a good amount of weapons. Though some parts are a bit underwhelming, the game is still a good AC game.
This AC had the best character customization if you ask me. Loved the story and play style of this game.
The only thing I didn't like about Unity was the poor multiplayer. I loved playing with my friends, sneaking around taking out entire bases undetected, but it was too repetitive. There was only one really good mission to coop, that one heist mode with the palace.
Unity's probably my favorite at the moment, loved the setting and scenery. Also the character customization was a huge highlight for me.
I don't think many considered it a bad game, most think it was badly made though. Too glitchy and rushed, but the core ideas remained interesting.
Assassin’s creed was my childhood. Lots of respect ✊.
Bravo dude, as someone who uploads videos sometimes I can't imagine how long this video took to create. Capturing certain footage, writing the script, and editing must've taken a while. Very good video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I generally give myself 2 weeks for a video like this. I set a schedule for myself so I'd get footage from 2 games a day, edit the footage, etc. Was cutting it close too as I wanted to release this exactly a week before Odyssey.
Nick930 2 weeks? That’s insane. Non the less I very much enjoyed this video and have checked out some of your other vids and of course subbed. Keep up the good content👍🏼
Nah don't give him credit he doesn't deserve
revelations was my favorite based on story alone
Me too, man! The ending was incredible.
"No books... No wisdom... only you, fratello mio…" - Ezio
Revelations was my favorite game of the series also. For most people it's not all that memorable, but for me there's something about it that I just loved so much.
Austin Mantell great story but hard missions
@@morningstar7896 dude it made me wanna play it more because the story was so damn good, and tbh I liked AC 1, 2, and brotherhood but Revelations didn't even register to me I didn't buy it idk what I was thinking until my friend let me try it.
uziel900able same my cousin got me hooked on it when it came out memories
“1191... a secret organisation known as the knights Templar”
Yeah apart from the fact that in 1191 the Knights Templar were basically a rising superpower and as far as you can get from “secret” XD
Ezio's Family soundtrack for the intro.
AC Revelations was a forgettable experience? To me it was best of the series, in every way it improved upon AC 2 and Brotherhood and a perfect wrapping up of Ezio's story. Also reliving the memories of Altair felt so good especially the things which were not explained in AC1. And a mature Ezio with his great quotes added alot to the experience.
I played all AC games from AC1 to Origins at the end of 2017 and the one I remember the most is AC Revelations.
My Ranking of AC games:
1. AC Revelations
2. AC 2
3. AC 4 Blackflag
4. AC Origins
5. AC Brotherhood
6. AC1
7. AC Unity
8. AC 3
9. AC Rogue
10. AC Liberation HD
11. AC Syndicate
AC1 on the 6th spot? Nope not reading this
Ya Revelations was probably the best way to end the Ezio storyline, raping up both ezio and Altair stories in one game was an interesting idea, and it payed off. Gameplay wise it's the best out off the 3, plus ezio actually felt like a mentor, which was awesome.
agree mostly
1. revelations
2. ac 2
3. AC 1
4. AC brotherhood
5. AC 3
6. AC blackflag
7. AC rogue
8.AC syndicate
9. AC Unity
10. origins
Origins was far too different to the core of the earlier titles and felt more relatable to the witcher 3 rather than assassins creed 1 in terms of gameplay
I don’t count AC Odyssey it’s not a AC game
It is though
Finally, someone who understands what people mean when they see the word "history" next to a video game title.
I swear, 99% of the time that you see that word used in a TH-cam video about a particular game, it is merely just a few gameplay vids of each title in the series and nothing else. No commentary, no voiceover, no actual "HISTORY!!!" Hell, most of the time, other than the title of the game, there's not even any text info about the game.
They basically do the least amount of work that they barely even meet the qualifications to even be called a video. You on the other hand sir, have knocked it out of the park and give viewers the very thing that they clicked the link for. And for that, I say thank you.
I feel that AC Odyssey strays too far from the more realistic elements of the original line up.
A lot of people like that, but not me. Even Origins doesn't stray too far from being believable.
Some like the combat, but I feel it is a little....overdone with animation. Original AC had a realistic feel to the combat, but with Odyssey, you can slash and stab opponents multiple times with your power move, and not have them even flinch afterwards. I don't like that. I wish one good, well placed stab or slash meant death again. You know, like an assassin.
I agree, the new games hardly feel like AC. I enjoy them, but its not quite the same. Guess you gotta change at some point...
I’m actually happy with the changes Ubisoft after many lackluster titles had to switch it up to stay relevant. I had the most fun with odyssey after accepting it for what it was and it became my second favorite game since black flag
It was just getting repetitive. It was the same thing in different clothing. And the combat was so overly simple.
I like that they have opened up the story to a larger world and actually put the technology to good use.
If they didn't adapt they would have died.
The older games are romanticized because we remember playing them at the time they were ground breaking and different. But the truth is when you play them now, they feel so limited. It was a good time to change.
Justin Middleton my thoughts exactly. I tried to go back and replay the ezio trilogy and I could get half way through the first game till I was bored
@@jaylenblount128 Yeah everyone has their opinion and I get nostalgic too. But honestly, it's hard for me to imagine someone playing Odyssey and not enjoying it. They make good points about how it strays from the main theme. But if you are ok with that, it's so easy to enjoy.
I love Assassin's Creed, one of my favourite franchises, loved the Ezio trilogy and really enjoyed the Kenway trilogy, but i am to this day annoyed that they basically killed Prince of Persia to bring AC out. Would absolutely love a new Prince of Persia game. Come on Ubisoft, us PoP fans still exist!
RockRedGenesis IKR! I NEED POP SANDS OF TIME TRILOGY REMASTERED
I remember playing AC III, I was 14 at the time. I was so excited for the native american protagonist that I got confused and really nervous because the Haytham-Storyline took so long. It got to a point where I was thinking I bought the wrong game lmao. Good times
Lmao! The same thing happened to me. I was wondering if I had the right game.
The moment you realise you were playing as a templar the whole time was though , that got me!
AC Revelations was a fucking masterpiece! It has so much personality and a real storyline! The fighting system makes sense and the stealth is just overwhelming! How did we get from this to AC Odyssey ... Oh and AC Unity is actually amazing, with real assassination missions, social stealth and stealth overall. Too bad it was executed badly. Love the series tho. Also this video is so well made thx man
I felt like Revelations was good. I'm ok with not having TOO many changes in combat. I mean, the previous two games saw some improvement, but to me it was the same character and he had his own style which naturally would have carried over into Revelations.
Agree
I'd argue Revelations had the best ending in the franchise. Especially compared to Odyssey's ending... still upset that the ancient Greek setting was wasted on that game. At least Ubisoft Quebec is no longer screwing with AC.
You're right about the Unity. I love this historical period and so the game 😀
I foresee you having 6 Mil subscribers one day. Your videos are so awesome!
I think we're past that point when it comes to this platform. His videos are just too good to get that sort of success on TH-cam in this day and age. Also the stuff he covers, retrospectives and the likes, are pretty niche for your average mainstream gamer that's also a TH-cam viewer.
Great video. My personal favorite is AC 2, mainly because of Jesper Kyd's phenomenal soundtrack and the way it tied the world together. It was both futuristic and archaic which is exactly what the series represents to me.
As an assassin creed fan I love all the games but black flag and origins are my favourites and will always be
Bhuvan Shingade Ashraf Ismail is our lord and savior alright :)
High-five finally someone like me
Yeah I like the unconventional ones too. Unity and Origins for me
I really miss the time when i play AC Origins i also love the game but in my opinion ac oddysey is better than ac origins
@@fe1nlover911 Sure but ac odyssey isn't really an AC games, even the people that made it admitted they wrote themselves into a corner. AC origins is the last great proper ac game
I know I'm the only one, but I probably have the most nostalgia for ac3 because it was the first one in the franchise that I played.
no your not alone. When i find people who love ac3 most love it because it is their first. Which is expected because it is one of the highest sellers.
@@liamgalwey5616 it just kind of shows, though, that its not that bad, because if it can get a lot of people into the series, know what I'm saying?
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 How you feel about a game is rather subjective but I don't knock anyone who like ac3 as long as they're polite with their opinions and open to new idea and or perspectives. Which have been which I praise you for. For what ever reason the ac fan base can get quite toxic. But to answer your question yeah I totally agree.
@@liamgalwey5616 I still don't consider ac3 to be my all time favorite ac game. That goes to Black Flag for me. Hell, I think I'd even replay syndicate before I replay ac3. But I still hold ac3 in high regard for introducing, and engaging me in the franchise. I just loved the civil war atmosphere, and the graphics are just so inviting to me for some reason. But I get that many people don't like it all that much.
P.s: I too appreciate a nice conversation. I always roll my eyes at people who bicker on TH-cam like little kids.
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 Thats good for you. My version was revelations but that was years after its release but i really enjoyed it but my all time fave is Ac2.
One of the best channels to listen to while doing homework / writing notes
Even though Revelations and Black Flag are a main memory of my childhood, I think that AC 3 is the best. I've loved the scenario and the story. It whas amazing.
Idk why but I have always loved AC unity, from the graphics to the storyline. I love this game.
I'm a recent new comer to the AC franchise (just started playing AC Origins) here in August 2020. This video was very informative and helpful to get me up to speed with what's happened with this franchise up to now. Thanks for the great video.
People: Connor has no personality compared to Ezio
Me: THE DUDE FREAKING GOT AMERICA LIBERATED MAN!!!
america would have been liberated either ways, just under a monarch puppet of an ancient brotherhood
@@dean7256Connor (at least in the game) has done more than George Washington. How is that not having a personality?
@@LedgeJP Doing lots of big stuff is not a personality.
This comment was the stupidest comment ever
@@AsserKortteenniemi Sure, you think doing stuff is not having a personality.
Now tell me, is a personality like an invisible thing or is it a thing that has built up because of your achievements?
I would say the latter. How would you judge someone's personality? By his actions or by his character? And here comes the next question. Isn't the character formed by looking at someone's actions in the past themselves? (sorry for speaking like Socrates, just speaking my mind here)
I loooove AC3 I've completed it more times than I could possibly count
I can't enjoy its cities. Compared Holy Land, Florence, Venice, Rome and Istanbul they are horrible.
@@aresrahl4218 why you hate it? lol
Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's '' horrible''
@@robertiacob2615 While the cities don't look bad they simply don't serve the parkour. The wide streets simply can't be jumper across. I find that this problem happens more and more. Ac1-Revelations,Ac4(just in havana) and Unity all had setting that allowed easy traversal in the world. Whereas Ac3,every other city in AC4,Rogue,Especially syndicate which had such a bad setting that you needed a grapple hook just to get around,origins and odyssey all have world with too many big gaps between buildings or too little buildings that do allow to have good traversal. Another thing is that Ac3 started the whole 'can't accidentally jump off a building mechanic. While yes it is annoying when you accidentally jumped off in the early games it was never because of the game it was always the players fault.While the story,character and combat are highly subjective whether the setting and/or cities serve the parkour isn't.
How do you defeat wolves?
@@MmeHyraelle shoot at them
This video made me fall in love with Assassin's Creed. Now I have every game. I just kinda bought most of them one day and got addicted to them. Thanks Nick😀😄
Origins is so awesome if you're interested in ancient Egypt
@@Shadow65863 Origins is really good, same team who made AC4 Black Flag so easily the best AC dev team.
Seriously, skip Odyssey and Valhalla. They aren't AC games in the slightest and are just massive, empty maps to inflate playtime. The story isn't remotely linked to past installments either.
AC featuring the Mongolian empire. I personally loved playing brotherhood because of how much history was accurate .
U mean altair saying 'mongols r coming, leave' for his son,
True, during Kublai Khan regime, mongol conquered assassin Castle in middle east.
'The Ghost of Tsushima' comes close to an AC game in the Mongolian empire!
Def the best video you've ever made, only 22 min in and I can already tell!
It amazes me how well the first game has aged. Those textures are so good.
Like your Tomb Raider history video, this was very informative and has me extremely excited to play the latest installment. Well done!
ac 3 is my favourite, i love the Kenway familly story
I didn't realise that I watched an entire 45' long video, great job man
AC3 was actually my favorite. Though I enjoyed all of them. Thanks for this video.
Atelier Novotny honestly same, I loved Connor even though people say he is boring I love the fact he was Native American and used a tomahawk
@Pricey_RL Me personally I don't like Connor not because he isn't Ezio but he is written poorly. Connor had the potential to been a fantastic character but executed and wrote him him poorly. Throughout AC3 he doesn't seem to learn or have any character development even as you come to the end of the game Connor is still a young, naive, angry, idiot Haythem honestly was more likeable than Connor in my opinion.
Best Assassin's Creed Video on TH-cam.
That haunting "haaaaaggh haaaghh haaaaagh haagg!" Music brings back great memories
Oh I thought the whole video would focus on the ac story instead the gameplay and graphics mostly.
It's a good thing in a way for people who haven't played any of the games in the franchise or have only played a few.
1) AC 2
2) AC 4 Black Flag
3) AC Revelations
4) AC Brotherhood
5) AC 3
6) AC 1
Haven't played Rogue, Unity, Syndicate, or Odyssey yet. I'm in the middle of Origins so I decided not to rank it yet, but it's definitely going to be near the top. I'm loving every second of it and was not expecting it to be as good as it is. Makes me super excited to play Odyssey
hitdoctor24 I love AC Origins!
Loved Syndicate & would love a remaster/remake with general improvements. Especially a better combat system or at least more combat animations.
Also don't understand why reviewers claim the story is 'forgetable'. It's great & one of only a couple AC games stories i remember fondly.
revelations a forgetable experience? I can't forget it because of that ending.
Exactly
Man, I love your videos! You deserve way more views
AC3 was so underrated at the time.
Best game of the series imo.
Matt G agreed
I preordered when I was 12. I’m 20 now
Nice to hear someone else loving AC3. I thought I was the only one.
I liked AC3 but its very very very heavily storywise. Too much emphasis is put on the story in comparisson to just being able to walk around and do stuff. Which the devs obviously took too literally with Black Flag and more specifically rogue in which the map is way too huge for the storyline given. Black flags story does a good job covering most of the map, rogue doesnt. 85%of rogues map not only has nothing to do with the story, but the story never even takes you remotely close to most of the map.
why do i remember that the older ones had a better quality seeing them now
In Revelations they added a cool system, where you could assign recruits to bases and have them govern them. The Templars would also try and take back territory through battles, where you had to lead and place defended to stop them. There was a lot of additional features, they just kept the old ones very similar to before.
I watched this back when it came out before Odyssey, and I'm watching it again here before Valhalla. This video makes me desperately miss the feeling of the olde games.
The newer action/rpg titles are objectively better.
@@ohlord3650 lol
@@ohlord3650 why you always lying
I bought Syndicate when it realeased, and I honestly grew pretty bored, as I had been playing AC games yearly so I forgot about it. A few weeks ago I found it again, and I can't express how much I'm enjoying it. Jacob's snark and cockiness is just so fun, and it contrasts so well with Evie's intelligence and finesse. The world is filled with stuff to do, and i'm finding myself really invested in Jacob and Evie. I haven't played AC since 2015 and It's like I'm having that wonder the AC games gave me as a kid again, so Syndicate might just become one of my favourites.
And with Desmond's arc closure, the Assassin's Creed games became just plotless adventure.
Yes, and that's when i quit playing it.
Also, for the RPG part, doesn't makes me want to play it.
@@guilemaigre14 have u tried the new ones? i too was skeptic, but have grown to love odyssey, far beyond the others, imo its def worth a try. i played all the AC's, and the worst imo was revelations+origins, but odyssey was very nice.
@@Mrleanderuaregay hahahah origins the worst ? its ur opinion but i think you are missing something.
@@saswag2004 i think u read between the lines there bud. origins was fine, but odyssey was far superior imo.
so odyssey wins in the new genre, and origins lose, and revelations lose the old genre. imo
Syndicate is my favorite...i love that old Victorian era
AC 3 was my favorite. I don't care what anyone says. I can still replay it 15 times fully without getting bored.
This remains to this day my all time favorite game series. It’s the closest I’ll ever get to using a time machine! Loved the vid, can you add odyssey and Valhalla at some point and reupload? I love these retrospectives!
I swear to god, before I graduate high school, I’m gonna replay all my favorite Assassin’s Creed games
Thanks for not only a great video but thanks for making one that avoid spoilers.
For me my top three AC games are
AC 2
AC Black Flag
AC Origins
I think blag flag is dumb I started playing it a year ago still yet to complete
While I agree that Origins and 2 should be top three I think Black Flag is a tiny bit better than 2
I agree
Wow, great job on this. I'm not even a dedicated fan of AC(just too many releases for me to keep up), but I watched all of this.
So many memories with AC fell in love with this game
ac 3 was already beautiful, now they are making a remaster of it, just imagine how it will look
don't get too excited. It's just going to be the same game with some up-scaled resolution. They're not remaking it after all.
It'll look more like what's shown here with the PC version.
oh? i heard they were remastering the graphics and combat system
