Ever since i was a kid i loved how Altair’s bottom robe blends together when standing still. No other assassin has an outfit nearly as sleek and beautifully designed. Simplicity always wins.
When he said “oh Desmond was the main character” almost like he had no clue, that literally broke my heart. After realizing the fact that most people don’t know who started it all in the series, just because Ubisoft decided to kill him off so fucking early pains me to no end. Also... not gonna lie I really miss Veronica Mars in these games, if anyone understands that reference.
For the AC newbies out there, the intro of the game where it's "glitchy" and showing blank NPC faces is because Desmond Miles is resisting against the Animus, he has to be fully consented or else the machine will not work.
@@nutritious.oven1 If its obvious to you then.. good for you? i guess? there are people that doesn't understand AC at all that i'm just here to help, why is that even a problem.
I still remember opening this on Christmas Day all those years ago and hiding from family to play it in my room. Assassin's Creed is genuinely a legendary game. After Desmond Mile's story ended, the series hasn't been the same...
I don't have the means to play the first assassin's creed. Don't get me wrong, I still have the game, but I can't play it since my old Xbox 360 got the red ring of death and I haven't been able to buy a new one since
@@chancechamberlain1583 It's between "Assassins Creed Revelations" And "Assassins Creed II" I can't pick they are all great, except for brotherhood I don't like that one.
Although the new ones are good (origins,odessy, and Valhalla) I don’t like RPGs games I wish they can go back to the old style gameplay. Unity and assassin creed 2 are my favorite
assassins creed enzio story is the best i had one but i was a kid and didnt really understand but the game i played more is black flag i bought it again in 2020 and it had the best stories to the old games are really better than the new one
No one can convince me that any other game had the best combat. Revelations was very challenging yet rewarding and if you couldnt play well any enemy at any level could kill you. It was a perfect balance of parrying and getting punished for not parrying successfully.
True. AC 1 gameplay was hella repetitive though. The Ezio Trilogy was the best. Black Flag brought innovation and Unity by many had best combat system.
@@karltee7862 facts unity had really good combat. The next assassins creed needs to have the old controls and fighting style. It was so much better and the game needs to make you feel like an assassin, not a Greek warrior or a Viking.
AC 1 was the best, imo. Just repetitive but other than that a masterpiece. If it ever got a decent remake, I bet Ezio fans will shift to Altair fans in no time. :p
@@5Poisons Altaïr was stoic. Which is why he's not a fan favorite. Even though in the franchise (Or atleast in lore) he's hailed as a legend. I don't see what's SO special about Ezio. Okay, he jokes around(He barely cracks any jokes throughout the games, he's just charmful) and is confident and charming. I don't see what makes him the SINGLE best Assassin. He's a great protagonist but to me, Edward Kenway was the best. Man goes through apparent character development and loses so much and tries his best for redemption. And that's way more interesting to me than what Ezio goes through. And honestly, no. AC1 was far from the best. Back then, yeah it may have been but now, the newer games(before Syndicate trash) felt way better. I'm just not a fan of dark and gloomy environments.
@@Xeno574 "Altair was stoic"..Are you saying that as if its something bad? First of all, he wasn't purely stoic. You could easily see that specially when Maria was killed and when he had to kill Abbas. You can also clearly see it when he's acting arrogant the first half of the game and when he rages alot at Al-Mualim and some other members of his order. Secondly, isn't an assassin who has to take lives and kill people supposed to have almost no feelings? Best example is Hitman and Altair was the most hitmany attitude assassin, imo and by a long shot, too..In that, yes, he was abit stoic but good stoic..needed stoic..realistic stoic for the character he's supposed to represent. Edward was cool but Edward was a pirate more than an assassin. Wealth and treasures mattered to him most and Black flag was more of a good pirate game rather than an AC. Edward was simply a cool pirate character. He never really truly bothered with the assassin vs templar conflict the game revolves around (Or used to revolve around back in the days). Imo, Haytham was much better character than his father Edward. His character had more depth and he had some sort of higher purpose than materialistic gain and within the templar assassin conflict plot but yea, he was not an assassin. Connor was the clueless young man manipulated by older men and Juno. He was stoic but this made sense because, it expresses his confusion and feeling of being lost so well..He wasn't sure of anybody anymore and felt betrayed whether by Washington or his childhood friend who misunderstood him to the extent he tried to kill him (for a good reason but still). He was not sure anymore whether to be happy or sad for this or that event. This feeling of being lost you could see most when Sam went with him to the printer to reduce his notoriety through bribery and Connor thought this was wrong and unethical and you could see he was unsure if he was really going the right way specially when he started to sympathize with his dad and asked Achilles if real peace with templars could be achieved after he was dead set on eliminating them earlier on. The only thing he seemed sure of was his hate for Charles Lee. Why I consider Altair the best is: 1- because, he was the most adult themed assassin, imo and AC 1 was the most adult themed game followed by AC 3, imo.. When I say adult, I mean here in terms of ideas, realism, depth, actually true dark atmosphere (not the trying to look dark atmosphere).. Example: in AC1, when you go to assassinate the priest doctor, this place truly delivers, imo and felt creepy. The city of Acre, you could see the hanged bodies, the crows, the piles of bodies outside the city and so on and the scene before you go to assassinate the doctor when he orders the guards to break the poor man's legs so he won't escape. As for AC 3, its in that battle when you were helping the patriots and the ships starting bombing them and the city close to them (I forgot the name of that mission). One of the patriot soldiers got bombed in a scene and you could see half of his body was torn apart and you could see the blood and the entrails and him screaming in pain and then the bombing of the city as Connor (you, the player) ran through it to reach the ship and the people getting bombed as they run away and the houses falling apart and the large fires everywhere. Sure, in Brotherhood, there was the part when Cesare attacked the Villa but it didn't feel as dark nor gory nor realistic as the AC 3 bombing felt except perhaps for the part when a kid in the Villa was searching and calling for his mom. Other than that... Another reason why I consider Altair the best is: 2- Unlike most other assassins and even Ezio, Altair actually listened to his enemies before they died and always tried to analyze the situation and understand things better and always questioned Al-Mualim after hearing out the enemy. Altair was "inquisitive" and that's something you'd guess should be a skill an assassin should have.."Being inquisitive" I mean..So they can find their targets and vantage points, etc. 3- Character development..Imo, Altair and also other assassins and even Al-Mualim and some villains had amazing character development in that 1 game "AC 1"..Like imo, Altair had more character development in 1 game than Ezio had in 3 games. Then some more character development in the FEW sequences he had in Revelations on top of the amazing character development he had in AC 1 So, in AC 1, Altair starts as the arrogant high rank young master assassin and his arrogance leads him to a great error so he gets punished by his master "Al-Mualim" who makes him think he killed him but later he finds that instead, Al-Mualim has just deranked him to lowest rank and gave him a chance to redeem himself and return his rank back by killing some targets in 3 other different cities than Masyaf with different and unique environment each. Altair starts to eliminate those enemies and listens to what they've got to say before they die so he ends up learning from his talks with his targets and with Al-Mualim after and from the events he gets to witness as he kills them like when he killed Majd A'Deen who was blinded by arrogance and power and reminded Altair of himself back then. You can notice he is still arrogant at first when he talks with Malek and you notice Malik was still jealous of Altair and bitter with resentment for causing his brother's death. You notice this slowly starts to change. At first, he quarrels with Malik back then later, he starts to direct the talk to the main subject when Malik quarrels with him instead of quarreling back and eventually both of them apologize to each other and admit that each one was at fault and they become like best friends as you keep going towards the end of AC 1 Even Altair's attitude slowly changes towards Al-Mualim and you can notice that in their amazing little talks after accomplishing each assassination. And I could write alot more about it..... As for AC1 as a whole, I think its best game out of AC series for the reasons above and ALSO for the following reasons: 1-AC 1 had the most realistic setting, imo.. The animus idea which is to use human's DNA to study history is derived from a real thing in the science of genetics but in a fictional manner. The order of the assassins and the templars in AC 1 are also based on real groups that were present at that time but ofc, most of the characters are fictional specially on assassin side but trust me, if you've read through the history of the middle east at that time, many of the events and details are sort of close to that in AC 1 like the assassin order is actually based on the Levantine assassins/ Hashashin and I believe the templars were based on teutonic knights back during the crusades. The landmarks details even like the Masyaf Castle, it looks close to what the real one should have used to look like and even the garden (that is full of less "dressed" girls) infront of the place where Altair always met Al-Mualim after assassinations and "The promise of heaven" that Altair and Al-Mualim mentioned in the dialogue after assassinating the priest doctor in Acre (yes, its related to the garden that was strangely populated with "less dressed" girls in a time where women used to be more dressed and more "Conservative" around the middle east on either sides) 2-I think AC 1 had the best and closer to reality conspiracy theory theme. AC 3 and AC Revelations were 2nd best in that, imo. 3- AC 1 was the first game in this series and normally the first of a series is supposed to be like the head title of what is to come next and you'd expect that the sequels should revolve around a similar theme but what came after was more like a teen hollywood movie (AC 2, AC Brotherhood) rather than the dark realistic history movie full of amazing details, deep and philosophical dialogue. It only started to get closer to AC 1 on AC Revelations and then on AC 3 and a numbered few other games in the series but none matched the level of AC 1 in being the " Assassin's Creed" as much as AC 1 did, imo. I see players saying that AC series died with the death of Ezio or died after AC Blackflag or or.... I say true AC died after AC 1 because, what came after never felt the same game again. Sure played a cool/many times a wannabe cool assassin with the badass hidden blade, did my badass parkour, used some cool Da Vinci inventions that looked cool but made no sense nor felt realistic but more "trying to look realistic but not really coming close". The deep and philosophical dialogue became "Requiescat en pace", "Ma Cose, Shoot shoot the flying demon", "People of Roma, you'll be liberated", Sforza showing off her panties in the players' faces as she shouts dirty insults to those 2 brothers who kidnapped her kids in Brotherhood instead of the amazing and meaningful dialogues in AC 1. XD Dialogue quality finally started to come back in AC Revelations (Mostly thanks to the quotes taken from AC 1 and the Altair sequences) and AC 3 (Mostly thanks to Haytham..I liked Haytham!! Why did they have to kill him off so early before providing a full game for him? :/) I apologize for the essay but I don't like saying that I think something is best in series without giving good reason on why I think so.
Ac will always be my favorite series... After playing many amazing games, I can say I love them all, but AC is why I began playing video games. One day I just heard someone talking about AC and I was like “that sounds interesting” so I looked it up on the Internet, and here I am, from a person who didn’t know anything about video games, to a person who love PC and console games so much. I really enjoyed your walkthroughs. Thanks for uploading these amazing videos!
@@sammnayer5292 I have all of them but syndicate and the games since. Idrc about syndicate and odyssey but I'd like to play Valhalla and Origins someday
The first time i played this game when it came out, I was absolutely blown away from it. It may be hard for people of today to understand, but at the time, around 2003-2009 or so, there were so many innovative games that its actually insane. It just wasnt heard of, a game where you can climb (pretty much) any surface, and have these big cities with big populated crownds, and you roaming freely. Same story for TES4 Oblivion for me. I was just blown away by the details, that you could enter almost any door you see, loot or atleast pick up any object you see (thanks havoc physics), and it was this big expansive fantasy world. And it was on a new generation of consoles, and it was all MIND blowing. And then Crysis came out in 2007 as well, which was also mind blowing in a lot of was. And Bioshock, which is still one of my favourite games of all time. Hard to convey to people who didnt experience it, but this was an incredible time for video games
I'd say the absolute peak of gaming was the 7th generation, from 2005-2013. There's a reason why it lasted almost an entire decade. It had the best of everything without succumbing to the endless exploitation, corruption and mediocrity that has plagued the industry since the 8th generation started. The first Assassin's Creed perfectly represents this 7th generation golden age, as it still holds up and is so much better to play unlike a large number of today's games.
I literally just finished playing all the AC games last year, from May to July, and it was an awesome experience I've ever had! There's no word to discribe it, just freaking awesome. I'm so glad u choose to play this series. Omg
@@robbiesilver1 and I was 10 years when this came out. Now I'm 24 never played Assassins creed games. But I brought The Ezio Collection a week ago. Really enjoyed it man. I have completed both Assassins creed II and Brotherhood. I'm really excited to play Revelations and see what happens to Ezio on his final game.
When you are old enough to remember when this was the only Assassin's Creed game, and also excited to play it when it came out. Yes, this was the game one of my all time favorite games, still is.
I love this dude!!! He actually went back to play the original so he can understand the new ones!!! LFG im so ready for this marathon!!!! Im a huge AC fan. Hollow you're going to love this!!!
Kinda crazy because right now I’m playing Valhalla so it’s really cool to see you play another Assassin’s Creed (You have to do an entire series it would be so amazing)
Just found this series on your channel and I’m so excited. I don’t really remember the storylines from playing them so long ago so to watch all these and learn the story again and remember it helps so much with all the games and story lines and how its connected. Yay!!
I'm older than this game by 3 months, this really puts things into perspective for how gaming has grown in such a long time. I'm finally indulging in single-player gaming as opposed to playing primarily online FPS games. This will be a good start to my long journey
I came across Hollow doing some other videos. And I'm hooked. Started this series with Valhalla. I know backwards. Ih well. Amazing to go on this journey with Hollow
omg 14 years old i hope you play assassins creed 2 and 3 those are my favorite i cant wait to wait for these videos omg knowing you bought the whole series makes me so happy
how ? I finished watching your specs ops the line vid and then I was thinking " what if he played the og assassin's creed ? that would be great to see " .....and here you are
the end of the first game when the twist happens and even desmond is like WTF, i was shaking with excitement. that was what shaped me, i wanted to give that moment to others in storytelling this was such a good game.
I would absolutely love if this became a series of yours, I am personally playing through all these games as well, and I love the series. I think you will too!
14 years ago began my story with this series. Watching my brother play this for the first time, I was intrigued and thusly invested time into understanding the lore. I have been devout since regardless how bad some turned out to be. Desmond was by far the only worthwhile protagonist as he made the most sense, and it is a shame what they did to his story. Most interesting tidbit, those who follow the history of AC know that this game series almost didn't exist because it was originally a spin off of Prince of Persia. It was nice to have a callback to this concept in Odyssey DLC.
Assassin's creed 1, 2 and brotherhood used an older version of the Animus which used Desmond face on the main character. this will change in assassin's creed revelations where you will see altair and ezios real faces
@@jcers I did, actually. Several of the same comments and several more of AC subtles should be here blah blah blah. I remember having subtiles on since it was one of my Trinity of games I bought with my own cash long ago.

The order of the assassins and the templars in AC 1 are also based on real groups that were present at that time but ofc, most of the characters are fictional specially on assassin side but trust me, if you've read through the history of the middle east at that time, many of the events and details are sort of close to that in AC 1 like the assassin order is actually based on the Levantine assassins/ Hashashin and I believe the templars were based on teutonic knights back during the crusades.
The landmarks details even like the Masyaf Castle, it looks close to what the real one should have used to look like and even the garden (that is full of less "dressed" girls) infront of the place where Altair always met Al-Mualim after assassinations and "The promise of heaven" that Altair and Al-Mualim mentioned in the dialogue after assassinating the priest doctor in Acre (yes, its related to the garden that was strangely populated with "less dressed" girls in a time where women used to be more dressed and more "Conservative" around the middle east on either sides)
2-I think AC 1 had the best and closer to reality conspiracy theory theme. AC 3 and AC Revelations were 2nd best in that, imo.
3- AC 1 was the first game in this series and normally the first of a series is supposed to be like the head title of what is to come next and you'd expect that the sequels should revolve around a similar theme but what came after was more like a teen hollywood movie (AC 2, AC Brotherhood) rather than the dark realistic history movie full of amazing details, deep and philosophical dialogue. It only started to get closer to AC 1 on AC Revelations and then on AC 3 and a numbered few other games in the series but none matched the level of AC 1 in being the " Assassin's Creed" as much as AC 1 did, imo.
I see players saying that AC series died with the death of Ezio or died after AC Blackflag or or....
I say true AC died after AC 1 because, what came after never felt the same game again. Sure played a cool/many times a wannabe cool assassin with the badass hidden blade, did my badass parkour, used some cool Da Vinci inventions that looked cool but made no sense nor felt realistic but more "trying to look realistic but not really coming close".
The deep and philosophical dialogue became "Requiescat en pace", "Ma Cose, Shoot shoot the flying demon", "People of Roma, you'll be liberated", Sforza showing off her panties in the players' faces as she shouts dirty insults to those 2 brothers who kidnapped her kids in Brotherhood instead of the amazing and meaningful dialogues in AC 1. XD
Dialogue quality finally started to come back in AC Revelations (Mostly thanks to the quotes taken from AC 1 and the Altair sequences) and AC 3 (Mostly thanks to Haytham..I liked Haytham!! Why did they have to kill him off so early before providing a full game for him? :/)
I apologize for the essay but I don't like saying that I think something is best in series without giving good reason on why I think so.
Ac will always be my favorite series... After playing many amazing games, I can say I love them all, but AC is why I began playing video games. One day I just heard someone talking about AC and I was like “that sounds interesting” so I looked it up on the Internet, and here I am, from a person who didn’t know anything about video games, to a person who love PC and console games so much. I really enjoyed your walkthroughs. Thanks for uploading these amazing videos!
Yo hollow do every assassin creed man ur the best commentator in the world

That'd take literal months or possibly a year in the speed he uploads
@@jurgullypurf false
@@braydenball951 check on how it says 4 months ago.
@@jurgullypurf he is already at syndicate lmao he going to do every one of them
My brother has all the assassins creeds, so this is cool to see
Cool. I wanna have all of them one day xD
Does he have bloodlines
Got into assiassn creed so this is cool to see
Same i have them all
@@sammnayer5292 I have all of them but syndicate and the games since. Idrc about syndicate and odyssey but I'd like to play Valhalla and Origins someday
The first time i played this game when it came out, I was absolutely blown away from it. It may be hard for people of today to understand, but at the time, around 2003-2009 or so, there were so many innovative games that its actually insane. It just wasnt heard of, a game where you can climb (pretty much) any surface, and have these big cities with big populated crownds, and you roaming freely. Same story for TES4 Oblivion for me. I was just blown away by the details, that you could enter almost any door you see, loot or atleast pick up any object you see (thanks havoc physics), and it was this big expansive fantasy world. And it was on a new generation of consoles, and it was all MIND blowing. And then Crysis came out in 2007 as well, which was also mind blowing in a lot of was. And Bioshock, which is still one of my favourite games of all time. Hard to convey to people who didnt experience it, but this was an incredible time for video games
I'd say the absolute peak of gaming was the 7th generation, from 2005-2013. There's a reason why it lasted almost an entire decade. It had the best of everything without succumbing to the endless exploitation, corruption and mediocrity that has plagued the industry since the 8th generation started. The first Assassin's Creed perfectly represents this 7th generation golden age, as it still holds up and is so much better to play unlike a large number of today's games.
Honestly the 90s and 2000s were the golden age for entertainment overall, not just gaming but in movies too. I miss that rapid innovation we saw.
The guy that voiced Nathan Drake voiced Desmond it’s almost like he voice a character in every game we play now😂
And he voiced penguin in the Arkham games
interesting
Believe it or not, he even voiced Dr. N. Gin in Crash Of The Titans and Crash: Mind Over Mutant!
I literally just finished playing all the AC games last year, from May to July, and it was an awesome experience I've ever had! There's no word to discribe it, just freaking awesome. I'm so glad u choose to play this series. Omg
Can’t wait till you play the Ezio trilogy if you ever do brotherhood is probably one of the best assassins creed games
word to grand dad
Ezio is definitely the best assassins creed main character
@@ulysses988 he has had the most games so duh
@@draven531 no me
@@draven531 idek tbh i’m just high asf bumping to a boogie while playing valhalla😂
Cant wait till Hollow plays Assassin's Creed 4. He's gonna blow his mind of how awesome it is.
With the ship Battles? That was the bomb
Yes , i miss battling with the legendary ships, the twin ships was really hard
Legendary ship battles and fortress raids were the best 👌
No. That game is trash. Ac 2 is better
@@Stoicescu_28 thats your opinion the least you can do is respect theres all assassins creed games are good in someway
No way u actually played this.... OMFG SO HYPED!!!!
14 years?! My god I feel old now. Feels like yesterday , the nostalgia 😫😫
I was 2 when they made this….
@@robbiesilver1 and I was 10 years when this came out. Now I'm 24 never played Assassins creed games. But I brought The Ezio Collection a week ago. Really enjoyed it man. I have completed both Assassins creed II and Brotherhood. I'm really excited to play Revelations and see what happens to Ezio on his final game.
@@robbiesilver1 i has just turned 18 when it came out
Everyone is gangsta until Hollow plays the first Assassin's Creed game.
I have been waiting years for you to replay the old assassins creed so glad you are considering it
This game is one of the all time greats. This & the 2nd the story is perfect. Can't believe it's 14 years old 😲
I'm so glad you've made this series. 14 years already... my favourite franchise!
When you are old enough to remember when this was the only Assassin's Creed game, and also excited to play it when it came out.
Yes, this was the game one of my all time favorite games, still is.
i know im late to these but im having covid now stuck at home might as well watch this for time being, u r my fav gaming channel Hollow, never stop
I love this dude!!! He actually went back to play the original so he can understand the new ones!!! LFG im so ready for this marathon!!!! Im a huge AC fan. Hollow you're going to love this!!!
Yessir. Pls play the whole series
Kinda crazy because right now I’m playing Valhalla so it’s really cool to see you play another Assassin’s Creed (You have to do an entire series it would be so amazing)
Facts
same how you like valhalla i’m just trying to get everything done so i get mjolnir
I just finished Valhalla's story tonight. Shit was so good. I loved the game.
I'm playing Unity for the first time. Love the game so far.
@@xmissviolencex I just beat unity like last week I feel rogue and unity is the most underrated ones I really enjoyed both story's and how they tie in
Woke up sick as hell this morning this made me feel a lot better good vid man
Still looks beautiful even today, has the best atmosphere of all of em in my opinion aswell
Just found this series on your channel and I’m so excited. I don’t really remember the storylines from playing them so long ago so to watch all these and learn the story again and remember it helps so much with all the games and story lines and how its connected. Yay!!
The chase theme in this game is the best out of any ac creed game...pure eargasm
It hurt when he didn’t realize he was playing as the best assassin to ever live lol
I'm older than this game by 3 months, this really puts things into perspective for how gaming has grown in such a long time. I'm finally indulging in single-player gaming as opposed to playing primarily online FPS games. This will be a good start to my long journey
"Ahy Ahyah Ah my leg!" Hollow's reaction is the same as mine. 😂😂🤣🤣
You have actually blessed 2021 hollow thank you. Assassins creed 3 is my favorite can't wait🤯
same bro
Yess Assassin Creed marathon.
This is why i Subscribed
HELL YEAH! My favorite gaming series. Thank you Hollow.
I came across Hollow doing some other videos. And I'm hooked. Started this series with Valhalla. I know backwards. Ih well. Amazing to go on this journey with Hollow
omg 14 years old i hope you play assassins creed 2 and 3 those are my favorite i cant wait to wait for these videos omg knowing you bought the whole series makes me so happy
how ? I finished watching your specs ops the line vid and then I was thinking " what if he played the og assassin's creed ? that would be great to see " .....and here you are
This game has been forgotten by many. Re introducing the franchise to your audience is great
Obito remembers playing this gem while training with Madara and had to teach Madara some things💯
the end of the first game when the twist happens and even desmond is like WTF, i was shaking with excitement. that was what shaped me, i wanted to give that moment to others in storytelling this was such a good game.
This game is just as old as me! I was born in 2007!
I immediately clicked when I saw the thumbnail I was like this gonna be every every good
THANK YOU FOR PLAYING THIS!! Means a lot
My man here has forgot the story, while im still trying to forget the ezio trilogy and black flag story to play them again 😭😭😭
I mean, he did say he only played for an hour and a half and there’s no guarantee it was all story so
same lmao you would think its easy for me with my adhd
@@kaylaeubanks9313 story games are hard for me cuz of my adhd I can’t pay attention and get distracted doing dumb shit in the game 😂
@@dstock186 😂😂 if it’s a good story than I’ll watch it it has to be interesting
@@kaylaeubanks9313 fr 😭
Just now realizing Desmond's story from AC1 to AC3 only takes place within a few months.
He deserved so much more
I would absolutely love if this became a series of yours, I am personally playing through all these games as well, and I love the series. I think you will too!
The amount of content we are about to get is gonna be amazing love the work and effort your amazing man
Would love to see a playtrough of all the AC games, best series would totally support every single video 🙏🏽
That guy falling from the tower and messing up his leg brings me back
god, the early assassins creeds are my favorite games ever and its amazing to see you play it too. love this video and plz make it a series
Hollow hands down the best TH-camr for single player games. Always entertaining and enjoyable. Keep up the good work brother 👍
I’ve been waiting for you to play this
You know it’s funny because I’m replaying all the old ac games aswell 😁
Same here, I'm on brotherhood. Everytime I play these again I remind myself how great the oldies were
Yooo same im currently on Unity all because i played Valhalla lol trying to catch up
I started playing unity again and I started a new game to try to get legend
Such a legendary game I’m so glad I got to experience it.
Its been so long since ive played this man damn, the assassins marathon is a great idea every hollow fan has a different favourite AC
Been watching you for years, thank you for all the content, bring a whole series playing through all the assassins creed games!!!
i'm up for a series of entire franchise, the lore is so good.
I'm hitting the bell now 👍
Happy new year, Hollow. It's been awhile that you haven't played horror games. Can we get more of you playing horror games? Thank you!
WHO rewatching the creed series in 2023 with hollow❗️
Bro thank you so much for playing all the assassins creed games, I literally couldn’t find anyone else doing them all
Very Enjoyable Thank you for showing.
Altair was dick in the beginning but becomes a bad ass, great campaign 10/10 ign
@Spare Slipstreamz the most dangerous one? Yes, but I think Ezio is better as a character
@@clxutz Connor is the most dangerous one. Altaiir is the smartest. Ezio is the wisest.
Plz make this a series, the ezio collection is my favorite video game trilogy ever 😀
Ladies and gentlemen please make sure this video does well because I want this series so bad
Best all around gamer on TH-cam and even twitch, he just grinds every game available and I love it!
14 years ago began my story with this series. Watching my brother play this for the first time, I was intrigued and thusly invested time into understanding the lore. I have been devout since regardless how bad some turned out to be. Desmond was by far the only worthwhile protagonist as he made the most sense, and it is a shame what they did to his story.
Most interesting tidbit, those who follow the history of AC know that this game series almost didn't exist because it was originally a spin off of Prince of Persia. It was nice to have a callback to this concept in Odyssey DLC.
Still the best one yet... I wish they still made it like this. I actually enjoyed the Desmond storyline.
I fell in love with the expression
"Leap Of Faith" because of this game .

I am so happy you made these videos :) I am so excited !! Thank You !
Definitely need a series. Gotta admit that the content wasn’t for me lately but I’m gonna watch AC for sure! 🤝
Assassin's creed 1, 2 and brotherhood used an older version of the Animus which used Desmond face on the main character. this will change in assassin's creed revelations where you will see altair and ezios real faces
hollow: talking
Lady: LiE DowN
These assassin creed games gonna bring alot of memories
Pun intended?
Saweet! yeah Hollow bring the massive marathon series for it!
Plz keep the series up. Can’t wait to relive brotherhood!
Assassin: *breaks his leg*
Hollow: AHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
I’ve been playing the assassins creed games since January 2019 and I payed a grand total of 4$ cad for the first game
It still looks good lol
Amazing hollow been watching since 2016
I just came across your Chanel and I use to play this game when I had a PS3 and it’s super amazing. Anyway I would love to see this as an series!
Bruh omg I love this guy he's so unpredictable but in a good way
Yeeeeeesssss I have been waiting for this moment before Valhalla
Valhalla is trash In terms of story linr
There are sub-titles, I remember setting them up on the 360.
AC1 notoriously has no subtitles.
@@jcers No, there should be in the AC settings.
@@bradygoldsberry7303 literally google “does AC1 have subtitles”
@@jcers I did, actually. Several of the same comments and several more of AC subtles should be here blah blah blah. I remember having subtiles on since it was one of my Trinity of games I bought with my own cash long ago.
From this one comment, "Go to General on the settings, it should be somewhere towards the bottom."
Assassin's Creed 2 was one of the first games to spark my love for gaming and IM so excited for this marathon
My favorite childhood memories
