People ignore the present day plot, and juno. The reality is that all the old games, (AC1-Syndicate) were part of a major storyline, and it isn't a crossover, but a sequel. Sad that ubisoft rusehd all games to release so close to eachother tho. That said, the new games have a far less clear vision for narrative, many people simply don't understand assassin's creed, all because the the new games.
Ahhh Haytham Kenway, the extremely popular Templar grand master. I really hope that Ubisoft makes a game with Haytham as the main character. But of course, we probably will never get our wish.
AC syndicate has been slept on by many i mean the game is fun and got a lot of creative assassination mission, on top of that we got the chance to feel like thomas shelby
I already knew he was gonna skip AC 1 despite the many epic moments and assassinations from Altair, like Al Mualim "the student defeat the teacher" moment or Robert de Sable "You have taken my life and so damned yours" when he tells him the truth about his master, people who started the series with Ezio's games tend to believe AC 1 is bad, boring and skippable to the point of forgetting it even exists it's their fault if after years we never had an AC 1 remastered or even a simple ps4 port for it and we probably never will, cause Ubisoft thinks almost no one liked the first game so they won't bother making it available to other consoles...
The most cold-blooded assassination that truthfully had a chilling impact was Germain's. Arno made him feel every slow second of that blade, with a dead stare. The only other time prior to that where I felt it was truly a kill motivated by rage and hatred, was when Ezio killed Uberto for betraying his father and brothers.
Ezio stabbed uberto multiple times in a fast amount of time, in his rage. but arno, he only stabbed germain once, and he slowly inserted it into germains flesh so he can feel all of the pain.
@@ufm123 Ezio Also stabbed Ulberto 5 times one for each of his family members even though he didn’t kill his sister and mother I still count it because he put them in danger.
@@MOH-ph3qm assassination means killing a known personality but his case was not by hand since Ezio granted him that mercy but it is still 2nd degree manslaughter that matches assassination perfectly

And prity hardcore indoctrination at that to. They killed his father in front of him then gas lite him on it for years. Dude ended up dispising everything related to his father because of them. And if he was using Arno as an example (Arno would at this point in time be raised by bealopen the Templar leader) as Arno was never indoctrinated, hes off massively their. Sorry to tell you this hathem but it was never anyones intention to recruiter Arno into the order. Arno was adopted out of respect for Charles and the only reason why Charles was even killed was because he had the box. That Box is a blight on humanity, its caused an untold amount of pointless deaths. If it wasn’t for that box Charles would have been fine. unlike in the americas and Britain, franch was completely stable. They had a truce that lasted almost 40 years before the revolution caused it to fracture. Frances set up at that time was more like that of the golden age of the mob. They worked off the principles similar to that of the almarta and higher tier killings even on another side had to be green lite by both sides higher ups. Out of all time periods we’ve been able to play in this is probably one of the most stable of all of them before its absolute collapse. Their was no reason to indoctrinate Arno, their wasnt even really a reason to recruite him. Hell he was sheltered from the truth. Not until Bealopen died did he even know what a Templar or assasin was.
true but even after discovering it was templars who killed Edward, Haytham didn't leave the order because he believed in the templar cause, and even him didn't like what some templars did to stay in control, like the Bulldog.
@@MERCYLESS_EDITS_GAMING Yep. In Haytham's journal, he notes that one of the assassins threw a knife, but it only damaged the rope; it didn't cut it. After hesitating for a moment because he knew what he *should* do, he throws a knife of his own, cutting the rope.

@@postonian425 because take a look at all the assassins creed games and look for what I'm trying to say they have had so many historical people throughout the games it would only make sense to make a assassin's creed game with John F Kennedy as a Templar because if you have played assassin's creed 3's dlc involving Connor Kenway and George Washington you would know George Washington betrays Connor
@@sheddy22 Connor absolutely did not want to kill Haytham. He wanted his father to work with him, not oppose him or trick him every step of the way. But Connor was never one to openly grieve, and he tempered that grief to rise as a Master Assassin.

@@hoddedman_ARG I strongly doubt Connor would be swayed to the Templars side. If anything he’d go full rogue and hunt down anyone involved in harming his people
Idk why, but Elize’s death as haunted me for some reason. Even when I first played it, I think it’s cause of the DLC and how it portrayed the passing of someone so accurately. Arno is just empty up until the main story of the dlc of course.
Even my least favorite games in the franchise still deliver some epic moments. But Origins takes the crown for the best assassination scenes. Whoever plays Bayek did a great job.

Caesar: You know whats more worse than getting stabbed by assassin at infront of people in public then tons of people has started to stab me multiple times?

That slow stab into Germain's face by Arno for killing Elise was so well deserved. Icing on the cake was hiding his bones among the many. No Sage DNA for Abstergo.
In Unity I knew about opportunities but never used them that you can kill Sivert like that and La Touche, always making assassination on them in regular way
I can’t remember his name but I always remember when Ezio kills his rival right at the start in AC2 and after he kills him he is shouting in Italian at the man before Mario calms him down, telling him to show respect. After that Ezio always said Requiescat in pace after an assassination
@@GHOST6472 but is true... Play it fully free of nostalgia and forgetting Brotherhood and Revelations exist.

But he was originally going to Scape and said allies putted him in the path of revenge in the first place) and then he contradicts himself by trying to kill Borgia out of spite only to be stabbed and have a change of heart 5 minutes later. 2's story is a disaster period...

10:45 Ezio stabs him with his right blade, which was broken at the very start of the game (at this point he does not have the hookblade). Is this an oversight, or was there enough of the blade left intact to still stab him?
@@SomeStupidGuy249 that's true, however when he equips his blades after getting caught in the intro cutscene, he puts the working blade on his left hand. So you can do the standard assassination animation. So when he kills the templar guy, he has the working blade on his left arm.
I mean once you get stabbed in the jugular, as those big blood vessels in your neck, you are pretty much done. So a common assassination animation shows the assassin grabbing the target from behind, coving their mouth with their right hand, then stabbing them with their hidden blade into their neck with their left.
For me, I’d say that Chrysis’s assassination counts. Reason being because Alexios, or Kassandra’s way they talk is so powerful that you can just feel the rage too.
True, especially since isn't Chrysis the one that took Alexios or Kassandra (depending on who you play as the protagonist) as a baby and tortured them into becoming Deimos.
Ngl it# kinda a rip there is no "Assasins Creed: Odyssey" because i woule really like seeing the death of Elpenor in this video, other than that. Great vid!
Haytham has no intention to kill Connor He could've killed injured Connor in that open battle. Or he could've used his hidden blades while choking Connor.
Am I the only one who wonders why Francesco de Pazzi survives the fall, considering the posture in which he fell meaning he wouldn't have landed directly into the haystack
The way Arno slowly presses the blade into Thomases neck is really chilling. In what seems like a calm killing, is filled with anger and rage, and the slowness is simply Arno, making sure that Thomas feels every inch of that blade. Unity is such an incredible game.
One of my least favourite this about this franchise is how similar nearly all of the assassinations are. Like, imagine actually having to plan to take out a target, and there are different challenges and ways in which to kill someone.
10:10 "thetyrant is dead you are free now" Proceed to exit the senate and tell the roman people, only to be met with blank stares and angry faces. The senators just realised they have made a GRAVE mistake. for Caesar won the peoples hearts and the senate had robbed them of that. In ancient history the senators who murdered caesar were arrested and killed and those who escaped, got caught and killed. the last 2 to survive thought that leaving to Africa would save them, until a soldier recognised them and went up to them to ask who they were, obviously knowing. the senators tried to bluff, but mid sentence the soldier took out his sword and slashed one's throat and the other was later decapitated. Their corpses left to the sands and beasts of the sands. Spitting on their body and cursing their names.
Julius Ceasar's death was so cringe tbh, and especially his argument with Brutus and Casius. Hearing Liberators who were Optimates talking abaout bringing power and land to the people, while the core of this proto political party was keeping it in the hands of the nobility was so infuriating. Don't get me wrong I love Origins and to me it is one of the best Assassin's Creed game (definetly the best of the new RPG games) but the part when Romans came to picture was for me unberable. From story narrative (mainly Ceasar assassination) to their equipment (lorica segmentata in 1 century B.C. legioneries using those weird standard for Origins enemies sword [is it realy so hard to give them gladiuses, espesially when they are in the game] or ewen Dacian falx [if i saw that sword right], and don't get me started with using centurions as heavy anemy type) and roman style armors you can get from the arena. Even battles like battle of the Nile are unwatchable as they are Hollywod style mess that is the nightmare of any capable general (i have the same problem with battles in Odyssey, or as I call them brawls between local groups of Sparta and Athens fans as no sane general would let something like this happen on the battlefield) making it impossible to enjoy which is the shame as it is important moment for Bayek. Luckly things like sea battles, arena and cities ocupated by Rome are fine. Sadly I must say that I enjoyed the game far more when I didn't know so much about ancient history which is wery sad considering this series was once known for being historicly accurate (as much as it could be with it's plot). I hope that next entrys of the series will se the level of passion and accuracy as the older games had.
P.S. I want to apologise about numeroes gramatical errors I made. For my excuse english is not my native language and I am writing this late at night not wearing glasses so please bear with me.
As much as people love black flag that game had the most boring and forgettable villains in the series, i can't remember a single one. I even remember Rogue more and that's a budget title lol
the strange thing is that arno victor dorian wants to see the death of dela serre instead of focusing on the death of his father he could have thought of his dead father and killed shay patrick cormac

@@SomeStupidGuy249 Same, I checked it in a gameplay video, I did not remember either lol used to have this game on xbox, but not anymore:/
He has 2 blades
You should do one for every famous historical figure. From King Richard all the way to Sigurd
2:09
"no one deserves to die in such pain"
*Proceeds to stab him through the mouth*
Well, it was either that or burning alive slowly
NexaTerra Gaming The 🐐 keep up the excellent work ❤
Thanks mate! 😊
I love La Touche' going, "Oh shit! Is that..."
Really just gonna leave Al Mualim and Robert de Sable of the list?
Maxwell roth was basically just british joker ill never unsee it
I just realized getting stabbed in the cheek is a common occurrence in Assassin's Creed
I think it's their neck that the assassins tried to stab instead of their victims cheeks
I mean once you get stabbed in the jugular, as those big blood vessels in your neck, you are pretty much done.
So a common assassination animation shows the assassin grabbing the target from behind, coving their mouth with their right hand, then stabbing them with their hidden blade into their neck with their left.
@@TheHammerGuy94 exactly and once they stab an artery it's also a quick death probably the same as the jugular that your mentioned
1:08 is just so fucking creepy.
For me, I’d say that Chrysis’s assassination counts. Reason being because Alexios, or Kassandra’s way they talk is so powerful that you can just feel the rage too.
True, especially since isn't Chrysis the one that took Alexios or Kassandra (depending on who you play as the protagonist) as a baby and tortured them into becoming Deimos.
@@kelseypadilla8979 exactly
Staricks death in syndicate was one of the coolest assassinations I have ever seen in these games
I would have added Pierre Bellec for Unity.
Julius Caesar death was the most epic and brutal scene in all assassins creed games.
I don't care what anyone says, the first 3 Assassin''s Creed games are still legendary to me. I also did enjoy AC: Odyssey. That was fun.
Kinda missing Maxwell Roth kissing Jacob but idk
Ngl it# kinda a rip there is no "Assasins Creed: Odyssey" because i woule really like seeing the death of Elpenor in this video, other than that. Great vid!
4:19
There's no doubt, Altair and Ezio are definitely the most iconic and best assassins of all time
There is plenty of doubt
The most iconic line, in my opinion, is “Don’t you ever stop hollowing?”
Haytham has no intention to kill Connor
He could've killed injured Connor in that open battle.
Or he could've used his hidden blades while choking Connor.
Cruel lack of AC 1 and Brotherhood assassinations, they were iconic
julius ceaser one with aya was a chefs kiss. Orgins is prbly my fav AC game
Am I the only one who wonders why Francesco de Pazzi survives the fall, considering the posture in which he fell meaning he wouldn't have landed directly into the haystack
Damn, man though Connor is my favourite assasin, I love how Ezio is being classy by saying rest in peace.
Connor does as well. Due to his Native American side.
The way Arno slowly presses the blade into Thomases neck is really chilling. In what seems like a calm killing, is filled with anger and rage, and the slowness is simply Arno, making sure that Thomas feels every inch of that blade. Unity is such an incredible game.
One of my least favourite this about this franchise is how similar nearly all of the assassinations are. Like, imagine actually having to plan to take out a target, and there are different challenges and ways in which to kill someone.
NO ALTAÏR KILLING AL-MUALIM??!!
Can agree with 5:24, Francesco was scared ****less when he saw Ezio
@@bjornvandesande especially considering that the final shot of him was actually a part of true history, I even remember it being seen in *Hannibal*
10:10 "thetyrant is dead you are free now" Proceed to exit the senate and tell the roman people, only to be met with blank stares and angry faces. The senators just realised they have made a GRAVE mistake. for Caesar won the peoples hearts and the senate had robbed them of that. In ancient history the senators who murdered caesar were arrested and killed and those who escaped, got caught and killed. the last 2 to survive thought that leaving to Africa would save them, until a soldier recognised them and went up to them to ask who they were, obviously knowing. the senators tried to bluff, but mid sentence the soldier took out his sword and slashed one's throat and the other was later decapitated. Their corpses left to the sands and beasts of the sands. Spitting on their body and cursing their names.
Julius Ceasar's death was so cringe tbh, and especially his argument with Brutus and Casius. Hearing Liberators who were Optimates talking abaout bringing power and land to the people, while the core of this proto political party was keeping it in the hands of the nobility was so infuriating. Don't get me wrong I love Origins and to me it is one of the best Assassin's Creed game (definetly the best of the new RPG games) but the part when Romans came to picture was for me unberable. From story narrative (mainly Ceasar assassination) to their equipment (lorica segmentata in 1 century B.C. legioneries using those weird standard for Origins enemies sword [is it realy so hard to give them gladiuses, espesially when they are in the game] or ewen Dacian falx [if i saw that sword right], and don't get me started with using centurions as heavy anemy type) and roman style armors you can get from the arena. Even battles like battle of the Nile are unwatchable as they are Hollywod style mess that is the nightmare of any capable general (i have the same problem with battles in Odyssey, or as I call them brawls between local groups of Sparta and Athens fans as no sane general would let something like this happen on the battlefield) making it impossible to enjoy which is the shame as it is important moment for Bayek. Luckly things like sea battles, arena and cities ocupated by Rome are fine. Sadly I must say that I enjoyed the game far more when I didn't know so much about ancient history which is wery sad considering this series was once known for being historicly accurate (as much as it could be with it's plot). I hope that next entrys of the series will se the level of passion and accuracy as the older games had.
P.S.
I want to apologise about numeroes gramatical errors I made. For my excuse english is not my native language and I am writing this late at night not wearing glasses so please bear with me.
@@ManLikeEddy personaly i am glad that he did not wear that ugly thing
What annoys me was we get to kill haythen but not Shay
why ? shay is one of the coolest protagonists in ac. if not the coolest.
why did he stabed cezar in nuts
As much as people love black flag that game had the most boring and forgettable villains in the series, i can't remember a single one. I even remember Rogue more and that's a budget title lol
julius son stab his father at wrong spot hahahaha
the strange thing is that arno victor dorian wants to see the death of dela serre instead of focusing on the death of his father he could have thought of his dead father and killed shay patrick cormac
I think for origins the best kill is for sure the intro using the mask the intensity a great way to start the game if im being honest
I like your outfit you made in Unity. What gear pieces was there?
10:15 and so began a string of civil war in Rome. Congratulations, everything was made worse
Ummmm. Where’s my guy Altaïr at? His kills were all iconic honestly
