Has no one mentioned how each clip transitions to Ezio in the same position/direction that he ended the previous clip in? There’s even a roll to roll transition at 9:40. Very cool touch. And yes, no HUD can be cool, but I appreciate being able to see your button inputs. Shows how much precision is required for technique like this. Awesome video!
Thanks for your comments! Sadly, nobody has mentioned it before. Since I didn't have a proper editing software for fade-in/fade-outs, I had to get creative. Getting the camera angles, directions, and sometimes even Ezio's stance had to be right for the transitions. Sometimes I had to redo just because the ending didn't match. I did what I could, but I still wish I could go back and get the transitions even more perfect. About the HUD, it's actually a funny story. When I played the Classic AC games, I didn't realise how dependent I was on the mini-map to find things. When I started recording, I, for the first time went HUD-less, and was actually lost. Completely lost. So I _had_ to have the HUD on, but only for a while. As I kept getting better at keeping a track of my surroundings without the mini-map, I decided it'd be cooler if I took off the HUD elements one at a time, so as to give the video a sort of creative identity
It´s so ironic how the same people who criticize the classic AC parkour system for being "clunky" often also love the Unity system, where Arno often doesn´t even land on the same building as you intended. I understand that it looks better, but after replaying all the classic AC games recently, I can firmly say that the classic system is the best for gameplay, by far and away. The Unity system is pretty to look at in videos, but in actual gameplay, it is very rarely that smooth.
I was playing unity and syndicate recently then went to black flag and the movement was a big difference imo, it was still good on black flag but at points unresponsive or I'd accidentally climb a wall where in unity you can run around a wall with the right input. I will say though the animations were smoother on black flag and I'd hope for the best of both in ac mirage
I don't plan on playing Unity, but I've seen snippets of playthroughs and Arno never seemed to move as fluidly as Ezio did. I miss the classic movement system.
Dude, this is absolutely ridiculous. AC2 is by far my favorite game for parkour in this series because of the exceptional level design and how perfectly agile and light Ezio is, and you use both factors to perfection. The routes, the technique, everything-it’s perfect. What’s your favorite city to to parkour in btw? I’d say my personal favorite is Venice due to the massive scale of building facades and how that interacts with the level design.
Thanks a lot for your kind words! Appreciate them a lot! About the favorite city part, I'd say it's a tie between Firenze and Venice. Both of those places have some crazy good parkour paths strewn all across, so they both are really fun for me to parkour in
That's the thing: it takes skill to be good at which is why the lowest common denomonator that most companies target their games towards don't like it. Fifthly casuals doing what they do best. Ruining it for the rest of us.

This is one of the best parkour videos I've seen on AC in a while. There's so many neat & intricate things you did and I love how you use the movement system in such unpredictable ways. This didn't feel like it was a 10 minute video it was so entertaining to watch I loved every second.
parkour was to AC what combat is for DMC, a way to express yourself. The controls were precise and with many options and the style was achieved by your own way of doing it.
Exactly. Looking at someone's gameplay, you could find some uniqueness, a style and flavour some others won't have. And now, we get no freedom and way of expression at all. Dark times.
Great parkour clips, dude! Highlights the mechanics of the game really well. I look forward to seeing what else you make. Speaking of future videos, I have a few tips on the content-creator side of things. 1. Pick a consistent HUD layout. Whatever you choose is to your preference. I go no-HUD because I find it helps the eye to focus more on the character and the world than otherwise, but having HUD is fine, too. Just make sure you keep it consistent across your clips for the whole video. 2. Disable music in-game and add it in post (if you want to have any at all). This will give you more control over the audio and makes the transitions between clips less jarring from an auditory perspective. Once again, really great stuff here. I look forward to seeing you figure yourself out as a content creator and build a style for yourself that makes you you. :D
Hey man, thanks a lot! I have some videos currently lined up, and I hope you like those as well! About the HUD part, well I thought it'd be unique if I did that part by part taking HUD apart thing.

I got told that me saying that Unity's parkour is unpredictable was a skill issue lmao. The parkour from AC1 to Revelations was by far the best. So much control over everything and predictable 99% of the time, it was consistent. That being said though, Unity has freerun down which is something I do really like. A nice parkour system would be the old parkour, mixed with the flashiness of Unity and and have freerun down. It'd be a difficult task to be fair, especially if you added actual moves like cat passes, which would be great for fluidity but possibly could ruin it because it'd trigger when you don't want it to and whatnot.
Thanks for the comment and agree with what you said here. I have played Unity and it always felt like Arno was responding slowly to my inputs and sometimes not moving the way I wanted him to. The Classic games are the best. About the Parkour down feature, these old games do have some way or the other to do cool Parkour downs. You can take a Leap of Faith, take the same Parkour starters you took to climb up, now to climb down, use Catch Ledge in a cool way, and also try simply running off ledges with HP held, using Fist drop, angled drops or releasing Feet at the last second while running off a ledge (the last option and running off with only HP work for certain heights only). You can look up Execution Producer on TH-cam. That channel has instructions regarding these techniques A mixture of these two systems would be beautiful, but I doubt Ubisoft really cares about that.
probably my one gripe with classic ac movement is how automatic leaps into hay and water are when you side eject/back eject. makes things pretty annoying when im trying to speed up my parkour near any of these things lol.
Copared to others, it's not as fabulous... But surely, you really really did a good job showcasing what is possible. Also, I may have a big mouth, despite the fact, that I may not have been able to achieve to showcase this much skill. So good job😁
Of course not. All kinds of constructive criticism is welcome. As one of my sirs used to say, "Even the best can be better!" (No I don't consider myself the best, am just referring to the thought)
Practice, and knowledge. That's all it is. You learn from people who are there to teach (Leo K, Jcers, SSJ Lang, etc.) and then spend some time by your own, striking out your own _paths_
Ong the first time I played unity after so long I was so confused with the parkor but when I played AC Ezio Trilogy again I was better, I was faster and when I played AC1 and you sometimes need actual skill to do the parkour in it so it made me really good at parkour in unity I don't even climb buildings and run on rooftops no more its plain and boring rather the side of the building parkour or n and out of house to a tree to a cart and all. That is the parkour I'm accustomed to right now
I’m playing AC2 right now, and the only faults I have with it boils down to the overuse of camera reorientation when jumping and the awful mouse acceleration. Beyond that it’s fantastic, far better than the modern titles.
@@thatsaweirdone it’s a bit irritating I will say. In ac1 I’d be able to manually move my camera at all times and that led to far greater precision that doesn’t feel nearly as consistent here. It’s a shame really because the rest of the game feels so good.
If ubisoft ever want to remake the ezio games entirely. I expect them to really use the down descend from Unity + the existing parkour mechanic from the ezio games + the combat mechanic from brotherhood. Please gaming God bless us fans of the franchise to lay our eyes upon this
@@thatsaweirdone Any AC you enjoy works but yeah I was thinking AC2. I just played and beat this game for the first time and it was amazing. I decided to see how good people got at this game and came across you and now I want to see more lol
@@anvilmeethead9517 thanks for the compliment, but I'm not the best at AC2. I may be able to perform fairly well at the combat (key words: may be), but I'm not too comfortable with the stealth of the game. However, as I said, I may as well act on this idea in the future, if I do grow more
I was one of tbe people that hated the game skmply bwcause the parkour was difficult because i just ran sprinting when trying to parkour instead of stopping or slowing down. After learning the parkour over time from my mistakes its so fun and makes me appreciate the older games, compared to these brand new rgp wanna be called Assassins creed games
classic acs give all opportunities and mechanics to move quickly and precisely, but ppl who complain about it dont wanna learn how to use it in the right way, blaming the game itself. thats really sad cuz now ubisoft makes games targeted exactly such audience
@@doublex4193 you mean that as in Ezio doesn't function according to your wishes? Call me dumb but I don't understand if this is sarcasm or not. Either way, check the Description of this video, and from there you can watch Leo K's Movement Guide
9:03 Me throughout the entire video. Excellent showcase of parkour. You picked the routes well and kept a consistent sense of flow. How many venetian rooftop guards did you have to kill for this video?
Thanks a lot! It's great to see people still coming to this video. About the guards, well truth be told I think it was a fairly okay amount, as I usually left before they could do anything. But of course, when I had to, I had tp
The worst part about every single game in the series is often times you can’t predict exactly what’s gonna happen when it comes to jumping between or around buildings or other structures. Ezio has jumped to his death many a times when he could’ve just grabbed the thing I wanted him to.
I think you should try to pay attention to what buttons you're pressing while making the jumps. For the older games at least, it's very easy to go exactly where you want to go. Obviously you have to take into consideration jump distance and button inputs. You can also try using Catch Ledge (Empty Hand in midair) to grab any handhold (also increases grabbing range
@@thatsaweirdone I do use the grasp ledge. And I do pay attention to the buttons I’m pressing. Just sometimes Ezio will do something you don’t want him to or he thinks you want him to do. It’s just part of the snap targeting system used in the games. This has always been an issue and with practice i’m sure you can find out what limitations come with each environment but this was a problem even up until Unity where Arno had inconsistent abilities and sometimes just wouldn’t do what you wanted him to.
@@thatsaweirdone it was also always annoying that if you wanted to make sure you didn’t jump off of a building you had to sacrifice speed by not sprinting.
@@gh05tnoh24 i don't find that annoying. I think it adds a level of skill to rooftop traversal. There are methods to do parkour downs off ledges (of a certain height) which require letting go of Sprint at the last moment. With practice it'll come easy.
Bro..... thanks man. I don't know why, but I got emotional reading your comment. I am working on 2 videos right now. They would've released a long time ago but I got stuck on a lot of personal work. I am trying to bring them to you as soon as I can. Thanks again!
@@thatsaweirdone love u bro❤ Im Up to see them And dont worry Im same as you iwanted to uploud a video in my channel and becous of personal problems icant So dont worry you are not alone(:
How much time did the parkour take you to master? I had played ac2, brotherhood and 4 for now and the last one is BY FAR thr best one: there are more option, you can move your camera while moving and you can master it in just a couole hours. Instead the old parkour takes you hours and hours of grinring just to get good at it. It id anyways impressive how good you are at it and if you prefear it to the other that id totally ok.
Thanks for the comment. While AC4 parkour is really nice, I prefer AC3 over parkour that one (among the Kenway games, that is) As for how long it took me to master this system, it's hard to tell really. I started with Leo K's Movement Guide and memorized his lessons by heart, played through the games, and after a generous amount of free-roam, opted to make this video. Choreographing for a video did sharpen my skills, I'll say that
The only reason people say these games are "slow" is because they hold forward and climb straight up buildings instead of using parkour starters or different routes up.
I think it's a different story when you're taking a specific route. The thing about AC3- ACS is that the freeroam is easier and faster. Scaling walls and parkouring downwards is much easier which is very important when chasing or running away in AC. The classic movement flows faster while parkouring on poles and such, though it's much harder to go down or scale a flat wall without a ladder or hay at the bottom. This is my opinion however I wouldn't say I've mastered the movement but I've played enough to understand how annoying it can be.
I personally don't find any problems in traversing downwards or just roaming around or chasing people in the Classic games. The newer games have their charms (till a certain point, of course) but I don't find the older games inferior in any way. Either way, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment
@@thatsaweirdone Same neither do I. But many people don't care about the parkour seriously enough and just use it to traverse. Which is why they like the newer games because it holds their hand and they don't need to run into any issues. Which is probably why they dislike the classic movement.
I've just bought this game a few days ago on PC and I'd say that the parkour system of this game completely sucks. Ezio doesn't parkour down, he only climbs down hanging from the ledge wasting a lot of time. Every time you direct him in one direction, he goes to a different direction than the command you assigned him and that is super annoying when chasing someone. Sometimes, when you are about to reach any high point of a building Ezio bugs and falls down making you done of playing it.
Riiiiiiight. Watch Execution Producer's guides on Parkour Down for the Classic Games, and also watch Leo K's Classic AC parkour guide to get a good idea about the system
Really? Well, what I wrote might not be the correct statement. It is paraphrased, obviously. But the idea was to show the strength of the Classic AC parkour. And also, thanks for the compliment!
Clunky no, now very slow depends, sometimes there is literally not a point to get a fast run through in which case your only option is wall climbing but at least there are side wall leaps in this game and to be honest AC2 is a good game but it's not all that good as in ACB and Revelations blow it out of the water because 2 of the 3 pillars in this game kinda suck and that goes to combat and normal stealth, social stealth is still good and parkour as everyone saw from this video is still good
Yes, that is true. There are certain times when just doing a simple climb upwards is the only option. But it's not too frequent. About the Combat and Stealth, well yeah I love Bh combat way more than 2, but I would suggest that you check out the channel named Execution Producer. He has an Advanced AC2 combat guide. It isn't as fun as Bh, yes, but I feel you'll appreciate 2 combat more. For stealth, yes, again it's very limited, but you can go watch SSJ Lang to get an idea of how well he uses the few tricks fo his advantage. Hope this allows you to enjoy 2's gameplay more!
It does suck. Try to do your "beautiful looking" routes while chasing enemies, or doing stealth. Ezio is going to jump of buildings or grab ledges and then not being able to climbing to the edge that's 90° away from it . Ffs, most people haven't even played the games and just want to fit in so they say what's popular. Who are we kidding here, we both know that even some people in these comments defend this game but have never played it.
Tbh, I felt like AC2 to AC Rogue's parkour systems were easier, at least for me. They literally couldn't do everything that Unity and Syndicate could do, so there were less options of parkour. With less options comes less room for error lol
Bro I’m literally playing ac2 right now, this game is SUPER clunky, you’re not doing anything in this video. No combat, no chasing anyone, thieves, nothing, not even going anywhere in particular. Of COURSE it’s going to flow just fine. But in the heat of the moment shit gets ROUGH, ezio literally just does whatever he wants like 30% of the time and can really fuck everything up. Just trying to catch thieves in the middle of a city is horrendous, you have to wait for them to jump onto the ground or get lucky enough for you to knock them off. Otherwise you’re going to fall like 95% of the time. I love every AC game in its own right and 2 - Rev. are my favorites but don’t be disingenuous, the game was clutch as hell and it shows if you played it right now after playing a modern game
Well, I understand with the chasing thieves part where you have to wait fir them to do certain things, but everything else I disagree with. I have played AC2 multiple times and never have I felt that the movement in any way is clunky. Have you tried watching Leo K's guide?
parkour is really useless in the classic ac games imo. the only time i use it is when i'm escaping or if the game tells me to. but the later games like ac3 i keep parkouring since it's faster unlike the classic ac games where running in the streets are more efficient than parkour unless you're good at it.
revelations also added the hook blade but Ezio rarely uses it automatically while climbing, if Ezio keeps using the hook blade while climbing the parkour in revelations would be so much better than brotherhood and 2
@@thatsaweirdone i'm not saying that the classic ac parkour is bad, if anything it's actually quite decent. it's just that it's useless most of the time and that running in the street is often better faster than parkour.
@@thatsaweirdone here's what i found on steam that i absolutely 100% agree on: I agree that it controls like ♥♥♥♥. This is a PC version, we have many buttons, there is no need to make grasp and release the same button, or to not have a run button that won't also make you run up every wall should you twitch even slightly, or suddenly jump off to somewhere you didn't even remotely want to jump to. Since we don't necessarily all have controllers, horrible fixed camera angles in the dungeons which make you do diagonal jumps for no reason are also a nuisance, especially when you press one direction relative to the camera, but the game decides to take it as relative to the character instead so you might need to, for example, press right to make Ezio jump forward from the camera's point of view. Also, why is it so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficult to just go down from somewhere? Ezio either stumbles and then has to slowly climb down, or jumps off twenty meters in some random direction off of every ledge. He can't even let go instantly, he always has to finish some random animation first. I've seen first person shooters with much better platforming! The first AC, while not ideal, was still much better controls-wise, in my opinion.

I hate with all my soul those levitating jumps the character does all the time in Unity. Classic AC movement is just extremely superior.
Imagine if someone made a mod that made the parkour more consistent in Unity

Agree with you completely. Especially in the tombs, the camera reorientation becomes your true enemy
@@thatsaweirdone it’s a bit irritating I will say. In ac1 I’d be able to manually move my camera at all times and that led to far greater precision that doesn’t feel nearly as consistent here. It’s a shame really because the rest of the game feels so good.
@@thebulletkin8393 yeah I agree
Every City in Assassins Creed 2 is a Paradise for Parkour! 👍
Absolutely agreed on that
If ubisoft ever want to remake the ezio games entirely. I expect them to really use the down descend from Unity + the existing parkour mechanic from the ezio games + the combat mechanic from brotherhood.
Please gaming God bless us fans of the franchise to lay our eyes upon this
If it happens, it happens, but I won't get my hopes up
I would really like to see Weird Guy do a playthrough
Oh what bro? AC2? That's actually a good idea. I may work on that if I grow a lot in the future
@@thatsaweirdone Any AC you enjoy works but yeah I was thinking AC2. I just played and beat this game for the first time and it was amazing. I decided to see how good people got at this game and came across you and now I want to see more lol
@@anvilmeethead9517 thanks for the compliment, but I'm not the best at AC2. I may be able to perform fairly well at the combat (key words: may be), but I'm not too comfortable with the stealth of the game. However, as I said, I may as well act on this idea in the future, if I do grow more
I was one of tbe people that hated the game skmply bwcause the parkour was difficult because i just ran sprinting when trying to parkour instead of stopping or slowing down.
After learning the parkour over time from my mistakes its so fun and makes me appreciate the older games, compared to these brand new rgp wanna be called Assassins creed games
Such is the beauty of the old games. Their parkour had depth and a skill-ceiling, keeping the parkour engaging as well as fun
Assassins Creed 2007-2014 R.I.P.
Personally I'd say Origins was a fine AC game
classic acs give all opportunities and mechanics to move quickly and precisely, but ppl who complain about it dont wanna learn how to use it in the right way, blaming the game itself. thats really sad cuz now ubisoft makes games targeted exactly such audience
Yeah, it's really sad. Hope Ubisoft focuses on the people who actually love the series, and not the mass audience.
@@thatsaweirdone Those days are long gone now, but we will always have this masterpieces.
@@gonzalodiaz9326 yes, that is true as well
Ezio literally has a mind of his own
@@doublex4193 you mean that as in Ezio doesn't function according to your wishes? Call me dumb but I don't understand if this is sarcasm or not. Either way, check the Description of this video, and from there you can watch Leo K's Movement Guide
Yeah thats what we want😀👌
Yess! Thanks!
9:03 Me throughout the entire video.
Excellent showcase of parkour. You picked the routes well and kept a consistent sense of flow.
How many venetian rooftop guards did you have to kill for this video?
Thanks a lot! It's great to see people still coming to this video.
About the guards, well truth be told I think it was a fairly okay amount, as I usually left before they could do anything. But of course, when I had to, I had tp
@@thatsaweirdone In any case, that is one awesome first video you have.
@@Pedro_Le_Chef many thanks!
Where did my lovely side eject go
Ah, who can even answer that question at this point?
The worst part about every single game in the series is often times you can’t predict exactly what’s gonna happen when it comes to jumping between or around buildings or other structures. Ezio has jumped to his death many a times when he could’ve just grabbed the thing I wanted him to.
I think you should try to pay attention to what buttons you're pressing while making the jumps. For the older games at least, it's very easy to go exactly where you want to go. Obviously you have to take into consideration jump distance and button inputs. You can also try using Catch Ledge (Empty Hand in midair) to grab any handhold (also increases grabbing range
@@thatsaweirdone I do use the grasp ledge. And I do pay attention to the buttons I’m pressing. Just sometimes Ezio will do something you don’t want him to or he thinks you want him to do. It’s just part of the snap targeting system used in the games. This has always been an issue and with practice i’m sure you can find out what limitations come with each environment but this was a problem even up until Unity where Arno had inconsistent abilities and sometimes just wouldn’t do what you wanted him to.
@@gh05tnoh24 i understand. The snapping can result in problems, but it happens very rarely for me
@@thatsaweirdone it was also always annoying that if you wanted to make sure you didn’t jump off of a building you had to sacrifice speed by not sprinting.
@@gh05tnoh24 i don't find that annoying. I think it adds a level of skill to rooftop traversal. There are methods to do parkour downs off ledges (of a certain height) which require letting go of Sprint at the last moment. With practice it'll come easy.
Better then Unity parkour thats for sure
Yessir
Hmm... Bravo(claps)... Bravo(claps)....
Oooookay, (nervous laugh) thanks...
I’m guessing the people who don’t like the old parkour adore the new parkour in Valhalla lol
They very well might. The new parkour system is super safe, and doesn't have many options like this ones, so a win fir them, I suppose
Please make another video abeg of you😭😭😂
Iwant more ac content
Bro..... thanks man. I don't know why, but I got emotional reading your comment.
I am working on 2 videos right now. They would've released a long time ago but I got stuck on a lot of personal work. I am trying to bring them to you as soon as I can.
Thanks again!
@@thatsaweirdone love u bro❤
Im Up to see them
And dont worry
Im same as you iwanted to uploud a video in my channel and becous of personal problems icant
So dont worry you are not alone(:
@@vstarev2715 thanks man! And I hope that you can upload as soon as you can!
@@thatsaweirdone thanks bro
I ap that(:
How much time did the parkour take you to master?
I had played ac2, brotherhood and 4 for now and the last one is BY FAR thr best one: there are more option, you can move your camera while moving and you can master it in just a couole hours.
Instead the old parkour takes you hours and hours of grinring just to get good at it.
It id anyways impressive how good you are at it and if you prefear it to the other that id totally ok.
Thanks for the comment. While AC4 parkour is really nice, I prefer AC3 over parkour that one (among the Kenway games, that is)
As for how long it took me to master this system, it's hard to tell really. I started with Leo K's Movement Guide and memorized his lessons by heart, played through the games, and after a generous amount of free-roam, opted to make this video. Choreographing for a video did sharpen my skills, I'll say that
O yeah
The only reason people say these games are "slow" is because they hold forward and climb straight up buildings instead of using parkour starters or different routes up.
Yep, that's exactly how it is. Only wished the games tutorialised the techs properly
I think it's a different story when you're taking a specific route. The thing about AC3- ACS is that the freeroam is easier and faster. Scaling walls and parkouring downwards is much easier which is very important when chasing or running away in AC. The classic movement flows faster while parkouring on poles and such, though it's much harder to go down or scale a flat wall without a ladder or hay at the bottom. This is my opinion however I wouldn't say I've mastered the movement but I've played enough to understand how annoying it can be.
I personally don't find any problems in traversing downwards or just roaming around or chasing people in the Classic games. The newer games have their charms (till a certain point, of course) but I don't find the older games inferior in any way. Either way, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment
@@thatsaweirdone Same neither do I. But many people don't care about the parkour seriously enough and just use it to traverse. Which is why they like the newer games because it holds their hand and they don't need to run into any issues. Which is probably why they dislike the classic movement.
@@Liqhtmare yeah. That is true
AC2 parkour is still the best. When it came to Brotherhood and Revelations the animations aspect of everything became janky.
I mostly agree with you, but I will say that I really love parkouring in Revelations as well
@@thatsaweirdone Oh Revelations is still cool. The Hookblade is what makes it great
I've just bought this game a few days ago on PC and I'd say that the parkour system of this game completely sucks. Ezio doesn't parkour down, he only climbs down hanging from the ledge wasting a lot of time. Every time you direct him in one direction, he goes to a different direction than the command you assigned him and that is super annoying when chasing someone. Sometimes, when you are about to reach any high point of a building Ezio bugs and falls down making you done of playing it.
Riiiiiiight. Watch Execution Producer's guides on Parkour Down for the Classic Games, and also watch Leo K's Classic AC parkour guide to get a good idea about the system
Literally no one has ever said that, but great video
Really? Well, what I wrote might not be the correct statement. It is paraphrased, obviously. But the idea was to show the strength of the Classic AC parkour. And also, thanks for the compliment!
I've seen people say it all the time. I even saw them say it today!
People say it all the time. There are even people in this comment section.
who said classic ac movement is bad? its usually an unpopular opinion
I have honestly heard many say that, though
@@thatsaweirdone who
@@mjaiye135 it's tough to remember at this moment, but in comment sections, some reddit comments, etc.
@@thatsaweirdone ok
Stupid people that are too bad for the classic AC and people that never played it.
Clunky no, now very slow depends, sometimes there is literally not a point to get a fast run through in which case your only option is wall climbing but at least there are side wall leaps in this game and to be honest AC2 is a good game but it's not all that good as in ACB and Revelations blow it out of the water because 2 of the 3 pillars in this game kinda suck and that goes to combat and normal stealth, social stealth is still good and parkour as everyone saw from this video is still good
Yes, that is true. There are certain times when just doing a simple climb upwards is the only option. But it's not too frequent.
About the Combat and Stealth, well yeah I love Bh combat way more than 2, but I would suggest that you check out the channel named Execution Producer. He has an Advanced AC2 combat guide. It isn't as fun as Bh, yes, but I feel you'll appreciate 2 combat more. For stealth, yes, again it's very limited, but you can go watch SSJ Lang to get an idea of how well he uses the few tricks fo his advantage.
Hope this allows you to enjoy 2's gameplay more!
its certainly more reliable than unity, albeit doesn't look as good.
It does suck. Try to do your "beautiful looking" routes while chasing enemies, or doing stealth. Ezio is going to jump of buildings or grab ledges and then not being able to climbing to the edge that's 90° away from it .
Ffs, most people haven't even played the games and just want to fit in so they say what's popular.
Who are we kidding here, we both know that even some people in these comments defend this game but have never played it.
You can have your own opinion, I have my own. Thanks for commenting!
Skill issue dude. L2P.
Tbh, I felt like AC2 to AC Rogue's parkour systems were easier, at least for me. They literally couldn't do everything that Unity and Syndicate could do, so there were less options of parkour. With less options comes less room for error lol
Yeah, that is true. But that also means less freedom
@@thatsaweirdone Good point! I did feel more free like a bird in Unity for sure. I was just bad at being a bird 😂
@@justiniantbh haha, it's quite alright. Everyone is free to choose their favourite parkour system. No worries anywhere
Lets see Ezio climb up a wall
"Classic AC movement is good" - 🤡 imma stick with unity thanks
Your choice of course, but I never liked Unity's sluggishness
@@thatsaweirdone No you're supposed to get angry
@@dirtyshinobii nope, not at all! You enjoy whatever game you want to. All that matters is that you enjoy it
Bro I’m literally playing ac2 right now, this game is SUPER clunky, you’re not doing anything in this video. No combat, no chasing anyone, thieves, nothing, not even going anywhere in particular. Of COURSE it’s going to flow just fine. But in the heat of the moment shit gets ROUGH, ezio literally just does whatever he wants like 30% of the time and can really fuck everything up. Just trying to catch thieves in the middle of a city is horrendous, you have to wait for them to jump onto the ground or get lucky enough for you to knock them off. Otherwise you’re going to fall like 95% of the time.
I love every AC game in its own right and 2 - Rev. are my favorites but don’t be disingenuous, the game was clutch as hell and it shows if you played it right now after playing a modern game
Well, I understand with the chasing thieves part where you have to wait fir them to do certain things, but everything else I disagree with. I have played AC2 multiple times and never have I felt that the movement in any way is clunky. Have you tried watching Leo K's guide?
parkour is really useless in the classic ac games imo. the only time i use it is when i'm escaping or if the game tells me to. but the later games like ac3 i keep parkouring since it's faster unlike the classic ac games where running in the streets are more efficient than parkour unless you're good at it.
oh and also the horrible camera make the classic ac's parkour even worse, you have almost no control over the camera and it keeps spinning.
revelations also added the hook blade but Ezio rarely uses it automatically while climbing, if Ezio keeps using the hook blade while climbing the parkour in revelations would be so much better than brotherhood and 2
Of course, you can have your own opinion, I just don't share yours
@@thatsaweirdone i'm not saying that the classic ac parkour is bad, if anything it's actually quite decent. it's just that it's useless most of the time and that running in the street is often better faster than parkour.
@@thatsaweirdone here's what i found on steam that i absolutely 100% agree on: I agree that it controls like ♥♥♥♥. This is a PC version, we have many buttons, there is no need to make grasp and release the same button, or to not have a run button that won't also make you run up every wall should you twitch even slightly, or suddenly jump off to somewhere you didn't even remotely want to jump to. Since we don't necessarily all have controllers, horrible fixed camera angles in the dungeons which make you do diagonal jumps for no reason are also a nuisance, especially when you press one direction relative to the camera, but the game decides to take it as relative to the character instead so you might need to, for example, press right to make Ezio jump forward from the camera's point of view. Also, why is it so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficult to just go down from somewhere? Ezio either stumbles and then has to slowly climb down, or jumps off twenty meters in some random direction off of every ledge. He can't even let go instantly, he always has to finish some random animation first. I've seen first person shooters with much better platforming! The first AC, while not ideal, was still much better controls-wise, in my opinion.
