- All the cut scenes and narrative gameplay for individual characters from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag in full-screen HD. If the character has a speaking part, it should be in here.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and the Assassin's Creed series is created, owned, and produced by UbiSoft. All footage captured by me. I claim no ownership or copyright of the material used in this video.
Blackbeard says what every player is thinking "Stfu about that Observatory already, let's be Pirates."
KaptenBear 13 yes
Pretty much
Couldn't have said it better
@@legaltowter9811 Idk for others, maybe a fresh breath of air?
But for me, I was kinda bummed out. But not really bummed out since I actually expected that the main story would be continued. I thought that they would flesh out another story with the same IP.
But nope, they just decided to forget Desmond Miles. And even then, they couldn't even figure out how to make the character out of the simulation loveable.
Before, it was okay for us to have to get into the real world because the story in the simulation and in the real world was intertwined. But right now, which started in Black Flags, most couldn't care less about the story outside of the siulationl
@@legaltowter9811 Sorry.
I didn't read "gameplay wise".
But yeah, I agree with you.
I'm going to guess that most who played the first three games actually thought like me, like they thought that the previous story would be continued after Black Flags.
WIth what they did, after they released Black Flags, they actually made the story of Kenway deeper. So yeah ,even then, I actually thought that they would continue making two stories in the same IP.
But when it dawned on us that it wasn't going to be that, we just trashed the whole game.
Even now, I haven't played another AC game after i've played the game after black flags(the game which had a gunboat I think at the start of the game, can't remember what it was called).
"Why fly a black flag, when a black beard will do."
10:00 your welcome
What a Transformation he goes through.
Light It Up
Why need a black flag when your enemies can spot your beard from a mile away.
Kenway gave Blackbeard a run for his money. He said so himself.
"In The world Without gold we might have been heroes"- Ed Thatch
CAPTAIN Ed thatch
Patch the Velociraptor aye
Aye
In *a world
@Vasilijan Nikolovski it means they're pirates who are obsessed with treasure, or gold. And without it they may have been helping people instead of stealing from them
" Id rather sink to the devils doorstep then to call myself a captain another year. We'll meet again lad, in this world... or the one below" -Edward Teach
Zacharaias Gaulua teach? Isnt his name thatch?
david johnson I’ve always known him as Teach, but people also know him as Thatch
And that quote stopped me.
He had finally had enough of being "Blackbeard" that he wanted to retire. But if the kings men came for him, he'd go down fighting.
Nunny have you never seen pirates of the Caribbean?
@@Screamingurchin alias names to protect his family's honor. It's unknown of his real surname
My favorite part of this is that when Charles Vane curses Thatch the last thing he yells is, "and hang all you lot that follow this sorry bastard *into obscurity*!" Three hundred years later Blackbeard remains possibly the most famous pirate to have ever sailed, whereas Charles Vane has been consigned to, well, obscurity.
+hatchcrazy
Yeah, I thought that was a nice detail as well. During his lifetime, Vane was definitely one of the most famous and feared pirates in the Caribbean. However, he was too vicious to romanticize into an "anti-hero" and so other names gained much more popularity over the years. To be honest, I was glad to see Vane as one of the main characters in this game, if only to have some contrast to the romantic "noble outlaw" image that some of the others rightfully earned.
hatchcrazy I never even HEARD of Charles Vane till now. I know Blackbeard. Vane...."whoooo the fuck is this?"
Who is Charles Vane
Ivar Teuben Right?! But seriously, he was an English pirate known for his rampant viciousness and cruelty. More violent than Blackbeard from what we know.
But the thing is we've heard of Captain Teach. Nobody really knows who Vane is.
hatchcrazy, Noone can beat Henry Morgan.
The ending scene with Anne Bonny singing makes me tear up; seeing Kenway imagine his fallen friends there among the crew enjoying listening to her sing. Edward Thatch, Mary Read, Charles Vane, Stede Bonnet, Jack Rackham, Benjamin Hornigold... They were a rough lot, sure, and at least half of them had betrayed or tried to kill him at one point. But he called each and every one of them friend. And he'd gladly give up all the gold in the Caribbean if it meant he could have another day with them. In every journey, we all lose people we care for along the way. Painful as it is, day by day, we carry them with us.
@Patriotic Justice
Lovely words.
@@Sevvina Thanks.
What hornigold said ended up being true. "If you continue on your present course, you'll find you're the only one walking it".
@@nnnnnnnn6557 Technically not. At the time, Kenway was still selfish and hadn't really committed to the Brotherhood. Had he continued as a pirate, no doubt he would have ended up the same as his friends; dead and buried. But he's not alone; he has his daughter, and he has a new family in the Brotherhood that gives him purpose.

Blackbeard: *Being scary*
Edward: look fine
Blackbeard: Of course it does
😂😂😂
John Win YES I was looking in the comments to see if someone thought that was as funny as I did
Whats truly hilarious about this and awesome is that such a conversation and field test of Blackbird devil incarnate likely did happen with a similar reply.
My favorite thatch moment tbh
They're both Edwards
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent apparently, according to legend, he did this shit with his crew. Horrify them untill they pissed themselves or begged for mercy, then just stroll away whistling, like "yep, still got it"
"We fly no colors out here, praise the lack of them, let the black flag signal nothing but your allegiance to man's natural freedoms" Ed Thatch
"In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!" Such a powerful line. (To some they were heroes, crediting men and women who sought to live their own lives as pirates.)
doesn't it mean that without gold they wouldn't be greedy as they were and would actually do good?
@@alonnie1919 Above all else, the one thing that pirates sought was true freedom. But their want for gold got in the way.
Thatch and Hornigold are perfect examples of the quote "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain. Thatch died as a pirate legend while Hornigold died as a traitorous pirate hunter. Amazing.
Very well thought of mate
Earthdestroyers99 Agreed
Earthdestroyers99 pirate hunter is not really a villainous occupation
Templar Yvonne, Thatch is a villain. The man was a bastard and psychopath.
Флоріан Фанта BOI! Thatch caught for freedom of men and women, Blacks and Whites, Spanish, and English. You know nothing of the true meaning of what I pirate was. He believed all mankind was to live free and not under the control of Kings and clergy and congress and Bull shit like that. So fuck off with your ignorant ass and go do some fucking research you child! Thatch is a hero above anything the damn British of that time ever had.
How can people say it's not about assassins and Templars
All game is about the change of heart of Edward and how he fight for assassins
It's mostly about his personal problem. Man vs himself genre.
Nononono, pepole saying this is not an AC got it wrong!
This is all about freedom! The ASSASSIN'S CREED is the peace trough freedom! For the assassins, free will is the most important idea, and this is exactly for what the pirates are fighting for. Not the same methods but the same goals!
@@Durinson1 true
@@Durinson1 How 'bout Rouge?
@@Yawnford Same idea, really. The Assassins believed that by going after the Precursor artifacts, they can prevent it from falling to the Templars.
It took 20 Slash's from cutlasses and six shots from muskets to finally bring Blackbeard down.
and when they did they cut off his head and hung it from the highest mass as a warning to all pirates to come
Rest in peace Edward thatch
Adam Dailey his real name isn’t Edward thatch it’s Edward teach
@@Itzbozo he actually went by many different last names. Thatch, Teach, or Drummond
The main reason his head was cut off was to bring it back to the king and collect the bounty that was on his head
It was actually 5 shots
@@Itzbozo It is pronounced as Thatch.

"Looks fine.
Of course it does"

Ricardo Rasteiro YES I was looking in the comments to see if someone thought that was as funny as I did
So did I
I wont lie, i nearly fucking cried when I saw thatch in the table with all the others at the end
Doctor Painis mary read was my breaking point
I almost cried they were all dead pirates I think it should be better that they didn't die😥😥
So did I
nightwalker 983 bruh when she died i almost punched my tv i was like bruh wtf!😂😂
The best AC ever... no discussion
Paule Uh yes discussion. It was more of a pirate game than an AC game. I mean I liked it too but I hated the fact that Edward became an Assassin at the end of the game.
Pranav Nair mmh okay You Are right... But it was the best Pirate game
Paule agreed
This is the only AC that I've ever played so far, and it's a great game to me. I really can't argue with you for that.
Paule I completely agree
When I first played this game, and when Blackbeard died I shed tears of sadness and respect. First time I ever got choked up for an in-game character. What a Legend
You obviously never played gears of war
I'm sorry but I had to do this...
*choke me Thatch*
"KENWAY!!! IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOLD WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN HEROES!!!"
That was, other than Mary Reed dying in Edwards arms, the moment he realized that his course was fucked. Man the Kenways had it the worst in the entire franchise.
I feel like the series needed an arc about how low one can truly fall when living the Creed's most obvious misinterpretation to its logical conclusion. Freedom without thought of consequences, losing sight of what you truly wanted in life.
All Edward really wanted was to not live the life of poverty with his wife (who could've had better if she hadn't met him, IIRC), but his dreams just got out of control and look where that got him.
@@natchu96 i think Edward misinterpreted the Creed from the Assassins as was shown when Mary Read tries to explain the order to him. He took it as a form of just doing what he pleased to get by due to his nature of living as a pirate and not really caring about Assassins or Templars. It was his inadequacy throughout life both before and after he married Caroline that drove him to go insane lengths to achieve something great while simultaneously going mad from his efforts.
Though towards the end of the game he grows a lot in wisdom while realizing the true intentions of the Creed and uses it to gain formidable allies while righing his wrongs.
When blackbeard died i destroyed every ship.
Same I went on a bloody massacre
i destroyed so many ships that i was kicked out of abstergo for it
Expect you cant cause you have zero hp left
@@slemangerdy8407 damn, bro ignore Canon event and go angry so hard that even made abstergo shut down the system 💀
"Go on, Captain Queernabs. Tell me I'm under arrest. TELL ME!"
Ac4 had some of the best characters, starting with Edward Kenway who in my opinion, had the best character development. Hard to look away from such an awesome game.
4:47 That part when Ade says, "All smiles and no teeth." Fucking hell i wasn't sure if i was gonna survive after laughing so hard.
I liked Ade’s dry humour.
"Legends ain't born from mildness."
Remember these words. There's more wisdom than most can swallow in them.
The golden age of piracy was the greatest age of freedom.
Aye. Cheers to that mate!!
I'll drink to that!
Seems to be true, aye.
if internet exists during the golden age of piracy, then we will have All of Assassin's Creed games for free!!
HERE HERE!!
The ghosts at the table gets me. As I've gotten older and life and circumstance whittled away the people I have, I can look back at those days and just feel melancholic. Those are the people that had a hand in shaping you, good or bad. Your pals. Loved ones. That one bastard you didn't care for but didn't hate that made you laugh so it's cool. Gone and not all that gone alike. I appreciate the time we had, even if it don't seem like it.
Guess I'll have a drink to em. And this game. Really knows how to get ya in the feels.
thatch knows his time in the world is up during the assault; him shouting for kenway right at the end is not to ask for his help, but to deliver his final message... or his final lament, if you will;
"in a world without gold, we might have been heroes!"
This is perhaps the best AC game for characters.
Characters you like, ones you are sad to see go.
Blackbeard is one of the best characters I’ve come across, and based on the reports this is an fairly accurate portrayal.
His voice work is spectacular, his dialogue is enthralling to listen to and his manner is very likeable.
@Rustymcnut
I've studied the Golden Age of Piracy for years and I think so, too. I was very impressed with the portrayal of the historical figures, especially Blackbeard.
Sevvina
I just noticed in the scene Edward was aiming his pistol at the guy that beheaded Thatch right before he could stop him from killing Thatch.
An instant too slow to save his best friend, and now the tragedy of the scene has just intensified tenfold.
@@rustkarl
All the sads. T_T
16:49 One of the best comedic breaks from a tense moment in the game.
On exactly 2:16 James kidd's hidden blade is revealed
Arco Keyblade Damn good sight u got there!👌
Arco Keyblade even earlier
pfss i already saw that
Holy shit, I played this game at launch, and another time not too long ago, plus watched clips of that scene a lot of times on YT, and never noticed that! Truly a good eye!
Arco Keyblade nice catch!
9:50
Just his presence diffused that tense situation. Love it.
17:39 that two British soldier fight each other, just that moment
Wha

Pushpendra Chauhan No he was aiming for Edward but the other soldier got in the way.
@@pushpendrachauhan4928 no, it just happens. Half the time when I board a ship my own men slash me. And vise versa
In the afterlife Edward and Blackbeard.
Blackbeard: you see that Kenway, your grandson has restored your family honor!
Kenway: true, I'm so proud of the young lad!
Blackbeard: definitely got pirate inheritance from ya and I'll drink to that.😂😂
27:49 fucking hell... that will always be an instant tear jerker. It was already extremely sad when just playing the game, but I also played that my 16yr old cat was put down. I miss you little guy
I am so sorry for your loss RIP to your cat
I miss this game, hope it gets remastered soon
I think it still holds up really well.
"we are celebrating my retirement!" that qoute made me love him
Edward Thatch died like a warrior with honor
RIP... Captain Edward Thatch.
Fact: Edward Teach or “Blackbeard” never killed anyone until the very end where he had an incredible showdown with the authorities and took an incredible amount of damage before death. After being beheaded and tossed overboard, his headless body was said to swim-circle the ship a few times before sinking to the depths. The authorities stuck Blackbeard’s head on a skewer at the front of their ship as a message of triumph over piracy.
Fact: Sometimes entire towns surrendered their loot to him before he even set foot on the shore. He was arguably the best fear tactic mind-warfare utiliser of his time.
Fact: Edward Teach or “Blackbeard” was 6’5”. The average height for contemporary men at this age was around 5’5.
nice to know thanks for sharing mate
do u have any more facts?
The writing for this game is amazing
I just realized that Hornigold was talking about weed when he said Jamaican funk
“ These were my only terms, and yet, 6 days of pure f***ing silence, so I must conclude that you men are the Pariahs of Charles- Towne, and I would profit better by using your organs for chum and your bones for char”- Blackbeard.
god I hope the animus doesnt have smell simulation. Everybody would've stunk back then
I'd imagine the scent of sea salt and gunpowder would drown it out.
It does, even the first version of the animus has that feature, Subject 1 tells that to Vidic in a enterview about the memories of Aveline.
After all, smells are very related to memories.
2:16
When I saw Mary Read with a hidden blade when I first played this game, I was curious if she was an Assassin or just picked it up from a dead Assassin like Haytham and Edward did.
And I was looking for Calico Jack
Adde - "Diving them recks would be a nice change of pace for us, no need to violent actions against merchants and such."
Thatch - "Well, that's some soft talk coming from a pirate. As it happens, I mostly agree."
Even when agreeing with you, he picks the scary path.
Edward introduces Adé
Hornigold: 😠🤬
Thatch: 🍺😊
I like the tiny detail when Blackbeard talks about fools and the devil.
He looks over at Bonnet, who he essentially sees as said fool, because he's seen how Bonnet captains his ship. As Blackbeard takes charge, Bonnet gradually gets phased out and is disliked by his men because of the choices he makes. Thus his speech about fools and the devil holds up: "If a man plays the fool, it's only fools he'll persuade". Bonnet played a fool when he should've been more commanding, and he lost his crew because of it.
Man. To think there was a time where Ubisoft actually tried and succeeded in making a masterpiece of a game. Well, almost. Scratch the tailing missions and ship stealth and boom, there, masterpiece
No but honestly, AC 4 still sticks with me even after all these years, sad to see how things have turned out the way they did.
I do have to say tho, check out Blackbeards German voice, ngl, he sounds even more badass in German if you ask me, the voice actors really nailed this one to the teeth

Edward: looks fine
Blackbeard: *course it does*

“Aught Else”
Just now noticed that Thatch used his cutlass to open the bottle, a trick called sabering.
The saddest death in all of assassin's creed. Blackbeard's life is worth more than a million other peoples.
It was sadder that it was just was his retirement
Thatch is a great actor, he plays the part of something straight out of hell so well especially when scaring Bonnet.
Without a doubt, out of all of them, Blackbeard was probably the most dedicated pirate of the Brethren, rough around the edges and a bit scary at times, he seemed to know what being a true sailor/buccaneer was all about, I really don't think any of the others ever reached his level of seafaring acumen.
25:19 best moment of the whole game
UNCORK THIS MAN'S BREAKFAST
I love how happy he sounds
This is why the older AC games are superior than today's AC
I agree with u! Like the newer ones are out of touch. Like they are more like something else than it originally used to be. The older ones are way better and are not something else other than what they’re supposed to be
My heart breaks the minute I hear, “ He drinks damnation”.
I love love love love to whach assassin Creed
"All a big show. Give your quarry something to fear. Some hellish thing from a fever dream and men will drop to their knees, PLEADING for their Lord, Before AAAALLLL ELSE!" - Captain Edward 'Blackbeard' Thatch
Edward Teach “The pirate that all pirates fear.”
At the ending Thatch nodded his head, could have just been a reaction to something one of the others said but to me it seemed like Thatch was telling Edward "this is the right choice".
Backup account given the horrible fate they all suffered I’d wager that’s what he was saying
I love AC games they have really put in drama and action into a perfect fusion well at least the pervious gen games
Thatch does the 18th century version of you will know my name is the lord
“Looks fine”
“Course it does”
that ending makes me cry every time
I know, right?
Me too.
Seeing all the characters I loved, happy and having a peaceful and happy meeting.
And knowing it’s nothing but a wishful memory of what we wish would have been.
This depiction of him is the best in media imo. Most movies and stuff portray him as a terrifying pirate that took no prisoners. But historians have found he was quite honorable when not pirating. He often played games and got drunk with his shipmates for fun, and was said to have been very vocal and fun to be around. He was terrifying when you were his enemy, but as a friend he'd be the guy you could grab a beer with and get into all sorts of shenanigans
Easily the best character in Black Flag, easily. Shed many manly tears when I saw him cut down before my eyes.
Blackbeard was a terror of the high seas. More than any pirate he relished the fear and dread from poor souls that set eyes on him. Best not be In his sights depending how you look at him. The fear of what he would do is worse. Even his own crew feared him. Blackbeard once shot a man during a game of chance in the leg. He laced his hat with lit fuses to give him a Smokey appearance. He was said to swore himself to the devil hence his pirate flag. In the end he was shot several times before finally going down with a sword down his neck from one Robert Maynard ending his legacy on the seas. They hung his head from the bow as they sailed into town. Edward Teach ruled the sea with unparalleled fear.
Except that in real life his crews respected him due to his loyalty to them enough so that he went out of his way to do a ransom of government officials to get medicine for them, Its likely he shot the man for cheating or likely threatening him and shooting in the leg would be a way to make a point and not kill him, The swearing to the Devil was likely just something to show to his hostages or captured crews to spread out and his crew members likely had a laugh, It was true about the lit fuses on the hat. He also likely encouraged the stories of him being a blood thirsty pirate cause a horrified prisoner and crews was easier to negotiate with than those who were willing to fight. It did wonders if a transport saw Blackbeard's ship and automatically surrendered. If he did discipline his crew it would have probably been strict as you didn't want idiots on your crews, you also didn't want to punish too harshly as a terrified crew is not very efficient. If he encountered people who were able to stand up to looking at him directly he likely would have preferred to talk to them as they might make a potentially useful crew member, informant or person to negotiate terms. 1.
"In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!" - Edward Thatch aka. Blackbeard
"Damnation seize my soul if i give you quarter!"
"I'll cleave ye lengthwise, maggots!"
*If a man plays the fool, then it's only fools he'll persuade. But appear to be the devil, then all men will submit.* - Ed Thatch
Rogue's story was as strong as Black flag. There are two differences with Rogue. One is that shay was pretty much like Connor: idealistic, determined, courageous, and open-hearted. The second is about shay being turned into a Templar after his conviction in the Assassins is shaken. Connor was shocked by Achilles' constant apathy and Haytham's strong views yet he never strayed off the path-he kept being an Assassin. Shay and Connor are literally two sides of the same coin called conviction. Connor wanted freedom for the colonies and had to settle for security. Shay wanted to save the colonies and had to settle for taking control of ALL of it. Connor's brotherhood is better than Achilles because of what Shay did. Connor is a better man because he understands the world now. Shay is an older man because he accepts that he's just a cog in the machine now.

besides i always luv nassau in the game altho i didnt play it. i luv living near the beach getting a nice view of the open sea. feeling satisfied and free.
Ascension Anims play the game.Its fun
i can finally play it on my pc altho its kinda lag but i still can play it and ya its fun
Raises bottle of rum, "cheers Thatch!"
Ryan_K _ Quite right
No matter how many flaws this series has, it always can write good character’s that will be remembered for a long time
who else nearly/did cry when Blackbeard died and when he is at the table with everyone else at the end of the game
I cried absolutely
A bit nostalgic, isn't it? Blackbeard was the first character cut I watched of yours, and was why I subscribed. And you have been more than kind. Cheers, and keep up the good work.
+Phantommatthew
Hard to believe that I've been working on this for as long as I have. Thanks again for your continued support!
At least he had a friend at his side at the end.
No one was more loyal to Nassau than Blackbeard
9:20 the voice acting in this whole paet is just awesome, going full pirate
I noticed that while you used Edward's vision of everyone together on Inagua, you didn't use his vision of the characters in Delirium when he crawled across a beach past them one by one trying to get to Roberts
@ToaAntan
I originally tried to put the Delirium bits in but, with no context, they were just weird and jarring because they were so short. I ended a lot of the videos with Edward imagining his friends sitting around the table because it it was at the very end of each cut and seemed a good way to cap it off.
"In a world without gold we may have been heroes." That's a reality check.
Had lot of fun with this game. Ubisoft would be rich if they used the concept of Pirate Sid Meiers with Black Flag mechanics and add more layers of deepth. They wouldn't even need to create much new engine, with what they already have they could make a ton of interesting stuff.
Give your quarry something to fear - some hellish thing, from a fevered dream - and men will drop to their knees, pleading for their Lord before aught else!
I just love that Ubisoft went as far as to add the smoking cannon fuses to blackbeard. They may not be in his beard, but I'll allow it.
the one thing i'm 100% certain is, that the german VA from Blackbeard is so good. Even if you don't understand, its worth listening to.
‘In a world without goals, we might’ve been hero’s “
Are there ever times where you literally don’t care about the gameplay and just watch the cutscenes of games? Because that’s literally all I do. Man, I could see a movie portraying Edward Teach like this.
I think we all need a REAL Blackbeard movie in our life.
He is one of the main reasons that AC4 is my favourite Assassin's Creed
@Anthony Berry
Likewise. As a longtime student of the Golden Age of Piracy, I was very pleased with this depiction.
Such a badass and hillarious introduction! "Go on, tell me im under arrest... TELL ME!!!" You can almost hear "captain queernabs'(?)" shit hit the sand
this game is worthy of Remaster
25:23 lol funniest black beard moment.
Sam Gilley sounded like patchy for a second
He seemed so giddy at that moment.
"Ahhhh We'll meet agin lad... in this world....... or the one below"
Funny how he laughs at the name of Edward's ship but his ship is called "The Queen Anne's Revenge". 😂
Well would you choose the name of a bird or the name of a Queen
@@m1co294 Obviously the name of a bird.
It's crazy to think that Blackbeard's actual death was grander than even this. The man was shot 6 times and stabbed and slashed about 20 before someone caught him with a cutlass to the neck. Absolute Legend.
"all smile and no teeth"
“We’ll don’t just sit there like a barrel of wet fish, We’re celebrating Moi Retirement!!” 😂😂😂😂
TELL ME!
the end when Anne is singing always makes me cry. If I would name the game that is my fav of all time, its probably this. The story, the characters, all of it. I love pirates and golden age and it makes me kinda sad how it all ended. The dream of freedom just ended back then. The only AC I would love to see today with updated visuals - although it is still great.
This is definitely the best rendition of Blackbeard
Nailed the West Country accent
That ending gets me every time
I fucking love that intro "Go on captain Queernaps,tell me I'm under arrest😏. TELL ME!!!🤬"
