Dartigan Actually, you can make Bayek have his hair and beard back. In the equipment screen, hold down the Y button (triangle on PlayStation) And press one of the triggers. Right trigger for hair, left trigger for beard.
@@OGBOOP they were used by rich ppl not by poor people they costed money they were made by their doctor not every one had money for the "modern" medicine of back then insurances did not existed not were in that time period condoms were treated and they were made of pig intestines (guts means most stomach organs lol) also women used a misture of plants as a birth control but as i said poor people had no money for that and most ppl were poor underpaied jobs others worked for food only ... egypt was great in legends in reality it was another bottom sack kingdom like rome and greece allout of showing off and the truth ppl were seen as rats and cochroaches
@@00Batman he sounds serious? Have you heard this series? The dude gives out joke sins left and right. Pretty sure Dart just does this for fun. Not meant to be taken seriously. Its just light leveled nitpicking.
@@Elvisbackpack Not really the "DC" in "DC comics" stands for "Detective comics" making the full name "Detective Comics Comics" the sin is the redundancy Ubisoft is just a shitty company
Jacob and Evie - Also their father AJ (Far Cry 4) - His mother? Sort of? I mean, he came back home to deliver her ashes and just got dragged into all the mayhem.
Mr Scapegrace Julies censer was dead when Egypt fell it was ceasers son vs his second in command Mark Antony and Cleopatra chose to be with Mark and he lost to Ceasers son.
I DID play AC: Rogue, and William Miles isn't killed in it. There's an intercepted message from the Assassins that says he's dead, but one sent immediately afterward that says he's alive, so his fate was, at best, just up in the air.
Maybe this isnt a popular opinion but I dare say this was the best AC since Black Flag. The combat system was so smooth and finally gave you control over everything. Even the story was entertaining. 10/10 in my book
I don't think it's unpopular at all, people liked this game much more than unity, rouge, and syndicate. I personally enjoyed syndicate but origins was much better. Black flag is my favourite Assassin's Creed and I don't think that'll ever change but I agree that Origins was far superior to some of the other games. The combat, the story like you said, the overall beauty of the game, the cool missions. I loved it.
I played for like 5 hours and got bored. The unnecessary grinding and forced sidequests, not to mention the tedious task of spotting the enemies one by one with the eagle was a pain. The combat was clunky and not fun, and i hate Dark Souls for the same reason. When every enemy you face HAS to be this epic duel to the death, it becomes a chore after a while, not to mention wasting my time. And speaking of wasted time, all that grinding the game forces me to do was tiresome. If i play an AC game, i expect to deal death to my enemies from the shadows, not to hunt animals and wander around aimlessly for an hour trying to figure out something FUN to do and grinding my level so that the regular guards won't kick my ass. The game was not fun in the beginning, so how do they expect me to keep playing any further?
@@DerClouder That's why I decided to play this game quite differently then other AC games (a couple of missions per day or two days, because otherwise, I will get bored, and I want to finish this game (not completely, but finish it).
Layla invented an animus that doesn't require the user to be biologically related to said ancestor. But since she did this without abstergo's approval, and since they're all about control, they had to try to kill her because of her rebelliousness and to keep it out of assassin hands.
They never needed to be related to the ancestor, not since Rogue and Unity. People can just pop in and relive memories of whomever they want, that change happened a long time ago.
Logan Productions yes, but that was only possible by extracting desmond's DNA. And even then they were only able to acess his genetic line. Aya's animus is unique in that she found a method to synchronize different genetic memories with her own.
There *were* female gladiators, though. We know this, we have records of them, and even human remains that are clearly female but buried with the paraphernalia of gladiator 'burial clubs.' Some Roman emperors even put on entire gladiatorial games using only female gladiators.
Isn't it just so convenient how these politically correct stuff just so happen to pop up as time goes on? You do realise that back in ancient times women weren't allowed to do many things, ranging from combat to politics.
Yeah, I'm sure the Romans were just planting gladiatrix skeletons with full paraphernalia, cackling to themselves all the while. "Ohoho, Alexandrius. You understand not the joke now, but approximately two-thousand years from now, this shall tie in nicely with the SJW agenda!" Evidence doesn't stop being evidence just because it conflicts with how you imagine history to be. Yes, women were not allowed to do a great many things in the Roman era -- it is, however, an error in thinking to go 'Welp, women couldn't do anything, full stop, they stayed at home and weaved.' History is rarely so neat and orderly. In the case of Rome, the divisions of gender were less important than the division between 'equites' 'civitas' and 'infames.' Gladiators were, by law, all 'infames,' -- to fight in the arena automatically diminished your status to that of an infames. And women who were infames had much more freedom in how they acted than women who were civitas, or who were the wives of equites (who were all male). For the Romans, it was entirely palatable, even titillating, for two infames women to fight -- the unspoken rules that governed what infames could or could not do were not the same as that of citizens or nobility. Cassius Dio, writing favourably about Emperor Titus, talks about how he used many female gladiators, but he's quick to point out that Titus' gladiators were all infames, and Titus didn't indulge in the habits of other emperors by demeaning himself to fight in the arena. Female gladiators were just not that controversial. Sorry if that contradicts what Hollywood has told you, but the truth doesn't change just because you think it should. tl;dr: Read a fucking book, you blithering idiot.
Because faking/misinterpriting historical evidence totally never was a thing. Just saying, and no I don't get my history from Hollywood, besides why on Earth would anyone want women to fight to the death in an arena? If anything slave servants make far more sense for lower class women if you want to go with that. I highly doubt female gladiators could provide the same entertainment as males could.
Ah, yes. "Hmm. I didn't know this fact ... is it possible that I just didn't know something ... No. No, it must be a conspiracy. They're faking it all, I say!" Also, you talk about faking or misinterpreting evidence, but that would require multiple different sources stretching back decades to fake or misinterpret: Human remains, artwork, inscriptions literally carved in stone (such as one referring to a local magistrate's ruling in favour of 'women of the sword'), and the writings of numerous different people over the course of centuries. Also, hey. Hey. I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Lower class women were also slaves. And servants. There were, in fact, quite a lot of lower class women, and they didn't all do the same thing. Also, I like how you go "Why would anyone want women to fight to the death in an arena?!" as if wanting men to fight to the death in an arena is a normal thing, but women? "Pshaw, everyone knows that women die in far less entertaining ways! I, Mate397, should know." Here's another secret for you: The Romans were a decadent, entertainment-obsessed people who *thrived* off lavish spectacle, and arena battles were less about 'wooo, yeah, murder!' (and, in fact, most gladiators didn't die in the arena) and more about theatre and athleticism. Taking the case of bestiarii, where we have writers talking about female bestiarii felling lions, the feat of killing a lion is really equally as impressive whether you're a man or a woman (and also not that impressive in general, given how controlled the environment of the arena often was). Look. Clearly you are of a delicate disposition, and I can see this is difficult for you to cope with, but I need you to know that I don't care, and you learning new things is not proof of a ~conspiracy~ by historians and archaeologists. They aren't out to get you. It's okay.
Ah, gotta love the "clearly you're wearing a tinfoil hat" thing to make yourself sound so smart huh? You know what fine, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt that indeed there were female gladiators. Then how come these things only and only now in the oh so voiced "current year" are coming up if it was known for decades?
In addition to the ones pointed out in other comments, one incorrect sin concerns Caesar's death scene. "Et tu, Brute" translates to "Even you, Brutus", and was invented by Shakespeare. The in-game "You too, my child" is the translation of the perhaps more iconic, but also probably fictional, "Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi".
I groaned a little there but honestly was more annoyed that the whole "Go to Rome, Kill Ceaser" felt so half-assed, like they desperately wanted to tie the birth of the assasin brotherhood to the asassination of Ceaser but ran out of time/money/resources to properly set it up. Not to mention killing Ceaser doesn't have much weight behind it because his AC character isn't developed very much due to him being in the game at all. Killing Flavius had some weight for being the murderer of Bayek's son at least.
@@itsDjjayyArt yeah I felt that to but when she said that it's because she wants no mother to experience what she experienced, I was like ohh so that's why she acts like that.
Yes but Gladiatrix were very rare to the point there are few notes about then, in fact there are no surviving records of how they were trained. Point is, for a very long time women were discriminated and this should be reflected in any attempt of historical accuracy, not inject 20th century sensibilities into it because at one point your own propaganda will became true and the errors of the past will be ... rewritten.
That may not be true, interestingly. There's evidence that suggests we may simply not *have* the data, but that it might have existed. References in other works of the era, statues, and other minor things are causing historians to rethink the role of the Gladiatrix. In general, women were second-class citizens, quite true, but there are historians who suggest even that may not have been as extreme as we'd thought. Like everything else dealing with history, it's an ongoing process as new data is discovered, and old data is filtered through new data.
How about stfu and stop saying shit like girls are worth anything 2000 years ago, unless you wanna rewrite the history books to include this fake ass women equality through out history...... a thing that only happened within the last 100 years
They could be gladiators but theywere not allowed to be actors, if you go and see the show at alexandria you'll notice all the female roles are males, because a lot of those shows were "political" and women weren't allowed to partake in politics
I love this game. Nothing in this video will change that. Some sins I don't agree with. Others made me laugh out because they're so true. But I still love Origins. I'm not even a fanboy of AC, but I liked this game so much that I bothered to get the Platinum in it and I only platinum either small and easy games or games that I love like this and Dying Light and both inFamous games on the ps4 (and the first inFamous on the ps3. Second one had stupid ugc related trophies that I wasn't gonna bother with) Tl;Dr the game is awesome and people should definitely buy it
I had never played any AC games, but Origins was my first and it was awesome. Okey, is Ubisoft, with bugs and micropayments, but the game still very entreteinament and a beatufil map. The storie is not good enough compare to other games, but is decent. I really enjoyed this game. Now I prefer Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Witcher 3, but AC Origins is a nice game (sorry for my English)
Ahan Bhalla I agree completely, at the same time a lot of the 'sins' can be explained or brushed off fairly easily, and others just genuinely made me laugh: Ubisoft *ding* . Gold.
i disagree. it's not a bad game, but it completely changed it's style in the newer games to appeal to a more generic audience. they took away all the "assassin's creed" & left nothing but a generic rpg like most sequels nowadays.
In Assassin's Creed II, Leonardo said that to be able to use the Hidden Blades they had to cut off the finger but not in memoration for Bayek's stupidity.
Actually no. Altair fixed the blade after he realized Assassins walking around with their ring finger missing was a big giveaway of who they were. Leonardo used Altair's Codex page to repair Ezio's blade. Hence why Ezio's father nor any of the other Assassins lost their fingers. The only Assassins who still chopped off their fingers were the Spanish as they did it to prove their commitment to the Creed.
Thechrisanator 1 what most people don’t understand is that the whole assassins creed series’ goal is to track Desmond’s bloodline back to when the ISU were around so that they can analyze there technology and use it against the Templar’s. The thing is that the games follow real world logic that DNA degrades after every few generations and that they will need older DNA samples to go further back which is why after Desmond’s death Abstergo can’t go back any further because they don’t have any DNA to use to go further back. Hence why Abstergo in modern day isn’t a threat and haven’t gotten anymore pieces of Eden. With the DNA from the spear of Leonidas they can track the bloodline even further back now.
How about at the beginning of the game where the masked ones have Bayek and his kid and the Ptolemy is coming to the vault so they tell Bayek to open the vault while they leave but they know that Bayek at least needs the Apple to open the door. But then they take the Apple. All bs aside though I love this game. The revenge quest family trauma shtick is old af but Origins is fantastic.
The reason Layla's animus is special because you can relive the memories of anyone who's DNA you put in the animus, does not have to be your own ancestor
xZinaRefaatx you do recognize that the Egypt that they are portraying here isn’t even Ancient Egypt? This is the middle eastern Egypt, after Alexander the Great ruined it So all that ur talking was lost
Climbing has improved Exploration has greatly improved Much of the discoverable lore is interesting Tombs are cool I still like hunting stuff to upgrade my gear Graphics are amazing Little touches help immersion greatly Side Quests usually involve killing people, but there are some interesting ones Phylakes are pretty cool to fight and rewarding. Story still sucks and is weird, but I like Byaek. Combat is pretty poor, cheap clone of Dark Souls. I eventually checked out of the story, but was greatly invested in exploring region by region. I’ve also not really run into any bad bugs which is weird. While it has its flaws, It’s much better and a return to form for the series. I look forward to the next one.
- I have glitched through the wall more than I did in any other AC game. And every time when I get out, somehow, it ends up with Bayek dying so I need to do stuff all over again. Not to mention that since you can climb almost anything, infiltration has been reduced to nothing. There is way too little patrol and way to many entrance points to make infiltration a challenge. - It's nice that you get to investigate stuff like you could in AC Syndicate. Minus deduction which is a bummer. - Lore might be curious but there is no codex to investigate ancient Egypt further. Tours are lacking. - You would think that the tombs would have some puzzles or traps inside to get to the inner chambers. All really comes down to killing cobras, breaking some walls and pushing some obvious shelves because of the floor "railing" doesn't let you go wherever you want and you don't have to think hard about where to go. Tombs like in AC2 or AC:B where better made since it required some skill with timed puzzle sections. - Hunting is fine. It has more purpose than AC3 at least. Praise the lord. - The game is pretty. - Little touches are okay, I guess? Still can't pet all the cats running around, grrrr. And funner parts of assassination have been taken out, like cover kills. - Majority of quest comes down to save someone from a fort. There is some interesting bits but since side quest don't get much of a spot light individually, I really can't keep track of all the quest givers. Not to mention that, since there is no time limits from what I have seen, you can just leave the area and do some other quests even when Bayek is terrified that a child might be dying. A bit strange change design choice. - Didn't fight Phylakes yet. - Bayek is great. His desire to help others and love for children shines through. Pity that he has to see so many of them murdered because Ubisoft needed to traumatize the guy as much as possible. - Story telling is very odd. It's really hard to roleplay as the game starts with confusing you by having Bayek murdered someone after a time skip when he grew a beard. - Didn't play Dark Souls. Combat is okay, I suppose. But I buy AC games to assassinate people from the shadows and not to fight in an arena. Since the assassination related techniques seems lacking in this game and skill tree is mostly combat related, I think that their focus was in the wrong place. It's a good game as far as RPG goes but it doesn't feel like an assassination game that much anymore. But hey, it seems that people love it so I guess EA will continue that route. I guess I will have to see where focus in Odyssey lays.
6:48 - Speaking of, Bayek's revenge story is heavily influenced by modern norms. Losing your child is tragic, but in ancient Egypt the death rate and child mortality rate was pretty high, so yes, your average ancient Egyptian would've just had more kids by then. 14:07 - Also, making yourself vulnerable by hopping back in the Animus after your location has been compromised would be a terrible idea, as Abstergo could easily send another wave of assassins.
Normally love these videos but in this case a lot of your criticisms stem from YOU simply not understanding what is presented. It’s really odd how people are willing to suspend belief for some properties and not others. Do you really need a logical explanation of how certain things work the way they do in a franchise that explores things like the mythical properties of the apple of eden? Go pick up some non-fiction if you need sensible answers for everything. This video demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of most of the story elements that are being criticized. Is it an amazing story? No. Is it good enough and very well executed? Yes. Story wise it’s on par with anything else out there with the exception of games that are almost single handedly famous for their narratives.
The story has to be paid attention to and actually thought of to follow. Not like most other games where the story is right in your face and it's obvious. I guess that somehow makes it bad? "Ow my brain". Yeah it's not great, but it is definitely still good. Not only that, a fair amount of sins in this video were blatantly incorrect. I get that these videos are supposed to be satire but some of these sins make it seem like he actually has no fucking clue what he's talking about. If you're gonna try to be funny, make good points. Don't make them up and call them sins
Cyanic Dream Unfortunately these sin channels rarely pay attention to the story of games and only do minimal investigation. You could make an entire video that renders most of these sins pointless. Dart clearly only plays these games to make sin videos for cash and has no intention on putting time and actual effort in finding actual sins outside of his own bottom of the barrel nitpicks. These videos make games look worse than what they actually are. He has the expectations of a in your face, explain everything in cutscenes painfully obvious stories
This game was still amazing dispite your need to say it was grindy. I never once found it to be grindy if you did the missions in the cities you were in along the way XD
Its not possible for desmond to come back we learned in i think black flag (correct me if im wrong) That he was chopped up into bits and every part of his body was used to find more assassins and to get isu artifacts Actually william is supposed to be dead we learn this from the comics and rogue but of course hes there some how
Sorry I'm years late but personally I hate the game for the fact that they try to make it as RPG with the level system. You can't kill someone even though you placed a blade in their neck for them to shove you off because your a low level.
Yeah what a dumb question literal magical Gods and Godesses being real in the AC universe for about 10 years now and this guy is still questioning if magic is real in AC
They didn't cut their finger off in honour they HAD to because it was the only way for the blade to work. Later games introduced a modified blade that didn't require the finger to be cut off. It wasn't a mistake of Bayek it's just how the old blade worked
Well, it is retconned now because you can see darius' blade in the Odyssey post launch trailer and his blade extends from top of his wrist, not under... So that hidden blade is a cheap knock off probably
@@Shifty135792468 Meh, he is as wrong as AC:O is. Considering that Bayek only loses his finger after you assassinate the bathing guy, it seems like Ubisoft totally forgot that it wasn't a tradition but a necessity for the blade to function until Altair modified after events in AC1 according to the codex in AC2. It pissed me off so much.
Its a shame because the game has so good graphics , everything loom right , it has a big map etc . Even in 4k . But i still cant say that is even better than the previous one . They fix some wrongs from syndicate but they also take out all the goods it had . I cant believe that ubisoft spend so much money on their games and they just can never make it all right
Maurice Anderson um ? Female gladiators have almost always been a thing , and in Egypt they had the same rights as men , so having female gladiators in Egypt is by no way "ahistorical"
no, no there weren't allowed however many just disguised as men and fought: later however people found out and then they were recorded in history as badass women who were excellent fighters.
4:06 it’s special because with the animus u can only experience ur descendants lives but Layla modified it so u can experience anyone’s memories with just a dna sample
parrying, blocking, dodging, shield attacks, bow attacks, and melee attacks, on top of fire attacks, poison attacks, and sleep attacks, in the air, on the ground, in the water, or on horseback. There is so much variety in how and where you can attack in this game. If you only hacked and slashed you weren't playing right.
J. H. Dude there are only 2 finishers per weapon it doesn't matter about the fire or poison it's still the same and you can only get a kill animation on the last enemy witch just ruined the unpredictable patterns of seeing it over and over the bow was a great touch but really just because they switched the combat it is still just as easy and is still one on one with a.zoomed in cam to close and the weapons are way to cartoon like way to big with fire and poison and sleep health on hit that's not making the game better that's just adding so plp will not see the laziness in the combat don't let them.fool you bruh shadow of war combat put this to shame where you actually need some skill to get kill finishers through a combo system and multiple enemy's will attack and you csn counter them with skill
Interviewer: What's your standard for a good game? A variety of weapons, tools, and shields with different stats and attributes? A good levelling system with cool upgrades? An extensive open world with many side quests, and locations that have worth while loot? A beautiful and stunning open world with an interesting setting? NATE DIAZ: No, kill animations
J. H. Yea but I didn't say it was a bad game it is a good game but it could have been the greatest game ever and they kinda blew it and had 2 years to make it great they can't fool me just by adding a few tools and a doge button the witcher 3 combat is way better and shadow of war is also so go play them and come back this is a cartoon hack and slash dark soul type combat and I just think assassins don't fight like that why can't you unequip the sheild that would have been great and parry with the sword deflect arrows back at enemy's double stealth assassination like unity instead of using the enemy sword to throw back at another enemy on a chain overpower kill why not just pull the bow and get an instance headshot kill why when you do kill finishers its the same camera angle it least change that so its not so repetitive why not get 2 enemy's to attack and get a double counter kill finishers why is all the stealth assassination the same animation even on different size enemy's why us every weapon a reskin I have 123 hours in the game so it is worth the money but man I love assassins creed and this could have been one I could re play over if it was not just copy and paste on so many level's
I just realized this but when the little boy says I found a Hyena cave, I initially heard "I found a Heineken". I immediately thought wow I didn't realize Heineken had such subtle product placements.
What i dont get(in any game nowadays), is the clipping of characters. I see hair clippng through their bodies and when they put on crowns or headpieces it just passes right through the hair, rather then pushing aside hair like it should. Is such simple clipping still a thing even after all the advances in gaming technology?
Maybe one day when a company decides to spend 7 years on a game just tweaking little things in it, maybe. Modern companies want to push out games as fast as possible, they want it to look amazing and feel amazing, so they don't have time to spend on working on how to process clothing, hair, and skin collision, which most games don't have.
Bruh you're talking about shit that can't really be done yet with current tech. You'll need one of those super computers that extremely hard-core pc gamers have with like 3 gpus and 128 gigs of ram and shiz. There's no way that you can have a world with the size, quality and variation of AC Origins and still have that smaller stuff. I'm surprised they even paid so much attention to the fire stuff in the game
I have an issue with this too but I don’t expect it to be corrected any time soon. Even the most insane tech demos feature various forms of clipping. You’d have to have multiple physics systems to implement no clipping and hair physics alone is something that can bring strain to a system that otherwise didn’t have any stain.
Xamufam no it can’t. IGN has a bad reputation for scoring games poorly. Especially giving them scores that are too high. However if you look at any of their top 10-100 lists, you’ll find that most if not all games on said lists are very good and deserve their spot. To this day IGN has never given out a perfect 10 that I’m aware of. I believe 9.8 is the highest score they’ve given and it was for one of the metal gear solid games if I’m not mistaken. The idea that it’s easy to get top tier rating is asinine. There’s no evidence for that anywhere.
i have played almost every assassin's creed game and i don't disagree in the slightest. nearly every assassin's story (with the exception of shay the assassin turned templar) starts with a dead family member then is continued by one dumbass decision after another.
The Origin of the Assassins is older they appear since the First Great Precursor War were the race was divided in two the ones who wanted to make man kind slaves and the one who wanted to live witht hem and help them there were 3 Great Precursor Wars all 3 ended with a natural calamity 1first was a Flood and 2nd and 3rd were Solar Explosions 3rd one eliminated them for good but humans survived inspecially the bion-engineered ones who were the Body Guards and Spys of Precursos those turned into the Assassins and then there wore the Elite Enforcers who were normal humans who turned into the Grand Order then as Templar now known as Abstergo
18:59 Actually, Caesar's real last words were "καὶ σὺ, τέκνον", which is Greek. It seems to translate to "And you, child?". So they're actually very historically-accurate on that front.
Alex Battaglia Suetonius said he didn’t say anything after his death but others there had reported he said the Greek words it’s lost to history at this point
4:35 yes it should but god forbid this franchise actually go to an area were the setting would make sense because Zoroastrian era middle east would be perfect for it
1.) Chess wasn't introduced to Europe until the Moors first traveled to Spain, which happened long after this game takes place. 2. William Miles did NOT die in Rogue. 3. Caesar never actually said "Et tu, Brute?" when he found out Brutus conspired to kill him. That's only in Shakespeare's play.
And when he suddenly changed language in the tomb that was because Caesar spoke Greek and Latin so he was probably speaking greek the whole time so everyone could understand him but then talked latin when he seen the tomb because he was surprised
There are a number of incorrect statements in this sins video, for instance the beard can already be changed manually in game by pressing L2 and Triangle. Clearly you have something against this game which is fine but alot of these sins seem pretty contrived to make the video longer and more controversial
The beard comment was a joke on how Ubisoft has more DLC content than the vanilla game, and how most of said DLCs just include basic things that involve the base game.
Do they though? I played through the whole game(not just story) without any preorder dlc and didnt think about opening the store or missing out on any content once.
TJ Korndoerfer No i understand i just disagree. This game is the direction ubisoft should be moving towards, and if they keep being criticised for general ubisoftesque problems they wont put the same effort into the next game.
That's the biggest problem with the Assassin's Creed stories I've seen. There's never a very strong through line to the narrative so that by the time you get to the climax, you don't understand or feel the significance.
Also he was kind of wrong in the elephant part i think it was Alexander who worked out that hitting the eye or around the eye was one of the only ways to stop there charges and make them turn and run into the enemy
Actually "Etu Brute?" wasn't the actual last words of Ceasar, by the accounts of the actual senators that killed him they said that it was "et pueri mei" which was "and you my child?". shakespear was the one that changed it for his play.
If you taken the time to actually play the game and do side quest youll have a better understanding, it is a incredible game and i loved it, yes ive played all assassin creed games
I love it keeps saying find the man who kill Khemu but in reality Bayek stab him and doesn't ever discuss it with Aya or have reactions when his motives are questioned
So you prefer to have the story completely told to you up front instead of being slowly revealed? The whole point is to have you discover what happened and slowly unravel the story yourself instead of just serving it to you on a platter. What about in a TV show where a plot point is brought up only to be given a payoff seasons later? Idk how mystery becomes a sin lol you’re just reaching
Some call me Gally they didnt call themselves "Assassins" until his time but they start off as the "Hidden Ones" which would become the Assassins from AC1
+Rigathor Nope, nope, nope, incorrect, don't talk about history if you don't know what you're talking about. The word "Assassin" is of indeterminate origin. The folk etymology claims that it comes from "Hashashin", meaning "Smoker of Hashish", but we don't know if that's the real etymology or not. A plausible alternative suggests the word comes from "Asasiyun", meaning "faithful to the foundation", which is something Hassan-i-Sabbah may have called his followers. There's no "ritual in which they smoked hash", I don't even know where you got that from.
Not sure if they did it on purpose, but they got the pharaohs all jacked up in the DLC. They got Queen Nefertit and Pharaoh Akhenaten, who actually ruled together, but they didn't really put any ties to King Tut. Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten and ruled Egypt after him. Then they skip way down to Ramesses The Great, who is Ramesses II. They missed Pharaoh Horemheb who reigned after Tut. Horemheb destroyed the city of Akhenaten and tried to blot his name from history. Then you still have Ramesses I, father of Ramesses The Great, who reigned after Horemheb and before his son. I understand that they picked Pharaohs that did good for Egypt, but I feel they kind of missed out on some story leaving out a Pharaoh that tried to destroy it
3:25, "This moment is what leads Bayek down a path of vengeance and ends with the establishment of the Assassin brotherhood, which means two millennia of conflict and Death exists because of a dead kid and his father's revenge" Bro...
I also pray for the day, TH-camrs will stop using the farcry 3 definition of insanity like it's some philosophical revelation of the century. It's not clever, it's not smart and it's been used more than should ever have ever been ever'd.
That quote goes back far beyond Far Cry 3. While widely attributed to Einstein, the only documented trail of it is from Alcoholics Anonymous pamphlets. They've used it, in one form or another, for nearly 40 years.
I love how literally the last sin video you did on assassins creed you mentioned how the fight against the final boss is like a shitty mmo So they made the entire series a shitty mmo-like thing
I admit, this "target" thingy looks borrowed from Tom Clancy Wildlands... killing one target leads to another... but realizing in the end that there isn't any single right target. When Bayek keeps saying "YOU KILLED MY CHILD" I was like "uhh no broo... Your anger killed your child... "
Uh actually in AC Rogue, there was only ever a message that said "William Miles is dead", there was no video or audio of his death so it was debatable at best as to his status. But then if u dug further there was another text that said "Williams Miles is alive". He probably falsely reported his fate to throw Abstergo off. Get your facts straight. Its on the wiki.
I know what you mean pacing wise, for about 30 hours it's your standard "go here, kill this guy, level up etc" until the last few hours which just drowns you in plot progression and has you killing like 4 Members of the order in that time, was really strange.
I don’t think you have a very good grasp at ac lore. The ring finger thing Tahiti actually started it because she wanted to copy bayek and also it was safer to have the finger removed in a controlled way rather than have it in the middle of combat and have extreme pain like bayek did. But still most of the reasons are pretty good. But honestly I and many other of my friends enjoy the story and makeover of the ac brand.
But that has nothing to do what he says. What he says is that they cut their finger to show commitment when this was just an accident. If Bayek had to sacrifice his finger to get revenge (since this was an old assassins blade you could have done that in the story) then that would make sense. With this, it just looks stupid, because they are basically honoring an accident.
Watched the whole video. Still have no idea who all the 'villains' you kill really were, but I did catch that basically they were all stupid and trying to kill each other....but then not kill each other? I think. Idk
they are basically the bad guys and their motivations are uncertain (I am at the end of the game and I still don't know who most of them are, what purpose they served and why I should care, which is sad as the assassination cinematics were quite good, would have been great if I wasn't saying to myself "wtf is he ?" each time I got to them), it's a pity for this game to be so black and white after they tried to make things more complex in AC3 or Rogue
@@Hibbzon I think that they really wanted to get AC1 effect but didn't quite achieve it since there is so many main targets and so many NPCs they kept introducing. The "masks" had their reasons to do stuff but they are not really memorable or noteworthy imo.
@@illusionofquality979 clearly, the thing is, in AC1 some of the guys you had to assassinate were remarkable in some ways or at least led to interesting moments. In origins you get a cool cinematic introducing the main masked one of a region (which intrigued me most of the time) and then you go on doing forgettable stuff with even more forgettable side characters (I mean aside from bayek and his wife, maybe, I couldn't give you a name or a particular feature from this cast of side characters). The worst of all being maybe the crocodile who pops up right at the end of the "arena arch" and we're meant to feel something about that old woman that we've met like 2 seconds ago (I didn't even understand she was the main vilain with the cinematic after defeating the two brothers, that shows how much interest I had in her character).

Dartigan Actually, you can make Bayek have his hair and beard back. In the equipment screen, hold down the Y button (triangle on PlayStation) And press one of the triggers. Right trigger for hair, left trigger for beard.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the fiery sword of death you get from What's his fuck in siwa.

Either Egypt had condoms, or Bayek's pull out game is strong.
Actually they used silphium as a kind of birth control drug
Pull out is no form of contraception
They accualy had condoms back then no joke, they were made of gutts from animals but still
@@OGBOOP they were used by rich ppl not by poor people they costed money they were made by their doctor
not every one had money for the "modern" medicine of back then insurances did not existed not were in that time period condoms were treated and they were made of pig intestines (guts means most stomach organs lol) also women used a misture of plants as a birth control but as i said poor people had no money for that and most ppl were poor underpaied jobs others worked for food only ... egypt was great in legends in reality it was another bottom sack kingdom like rome and greece allout of showing off and the truth ppl were seen as rats and cochroaches
@@zee1645 its a joke idiot lol
Imagine if Bayek's son had been with him for the entire game. It could have been him teaching his son how to survive and calling him boy.
Now where have I heard that before

It's ths Game Sins version of CinemaSins "DC Comics".
@@Elvisbackpack
Not really the "DC" in "DC comics" stands for "Detective comics" making the full name "Detective Comics Comics" the sin is the redundancy Ubisoft is just a shitty company
Ubisoft really REALLY love the dead family member cliche
Jacob and Evie - Also their father
AJ (Far Cry 4) - His mother? Sort of? I mean, he came back home to deliver her ashes and just got dragged into all the mayhem.
They even managed to cram it into The Crew by killing the protagonist's brother. A fucking revenge racing game! Their writing is beyond pathetic.
They haven't ever tried to kill off the father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

Apollo the sun god I did, but only for a few hours since it was shit
A game by french people about Ancient Egypt with Cleopatra and Julius Caesar? Where the fuck are Asterix and Obelix?
I m french, I was looking for them, when they talked about the Gallic Brothers I was like :😃
Mr Scapegrace Julies censer was dead when Egypt fell it was ceasers son vs his second in command Mark Antony and Cleopatra chose to be with Mark and he lost to Ceasers son.
I DID play AC: Rogue, and William Miles isn't killed in it. There's an intercepted message from the Assassins that says he's dead, but one sent immediately afterward that says he's alive, so his fate was, at best, just up in the air.
In the comics his body was shown, he was stabbed.
Fair enough, I can't speak to that, but that doesn't change the fact that Rogue was more ambiguous on the matter.
Doesn't change the fact he was confirmed to be killed and Origin just has him show up with 0 explanation.
Okay. I'm not really trying to defend Origin, just Rogue.
Which is fine.
"look at the birght side of your fathers death you can now rank up from side character to protaginist"
i love that line
Maybe this isnt a popular opinion but I dare say this was the best AC since Black Flag. The combat system was so smooth and finally gave you control over everything. Even the story was entertaining. 10/10 in my book
I don't think it's unpopular at all, people liked this game much more than unity, rouge, and syndicate. I personally enjoyed syndicate but origins was much better. Black flag is my favourite Assassin's Creed and I don't think that'll ever change but I agree that Origins was far superior to some of the other games. The combat, the story like you said, the overall beauty of the game, the cool missions. I loved it.
I havent started playing origins yet but im glad you said that. Black flag was my favorite AC game by farr up to this point
Couldn't agree more.
I played for like 5 hours and got bored. The unnecessary grinding and forced sidequests, not to mention the tedious task of spotting the enemies one by one with the eagle was a pain.
The combat was clunky and not fun, and i hate Dark Souls for the same reason. When every enemy you face HAS to be this epic duel to the death, it becomes a chore after a while, not to mention wasting my time.
And speaking of wasted time, all that grinding the game forces me to do was tiresome. If i play an AC game, i expect to deal death to my enemies from the shadows, not to hunt animals and wander around aimlessly for an hour trying to figure out something FUN to do and grinding my level so that the regular guards won't kick my ass.
The game was not fun in the beginning, so how do they expect me to keep playing any further?
@@DerClouder That's why I decided to play this game quite differently then other AC games (a couple of missions per day or two days, because otherwise, I will get bored, and I want to finish this game (not completely, but finish it).
Layla invented an animus that doesn't require the user to be biologically related to said ancestor. But since she did this without abstergo's approval, and since they're all about control, they had to try to kill her because of her rebelliousness and to keep it out of assassin hands.
They never needed to be related to the ancestor, not since Rogue and Unity. People can just pop in and relive memories of whomever they want, that change happened a long time ago.
Logan Productions yes, but that was only possible by extracting desmond's DNA. And even then they were only able to acess his genetic line. Aya's animus is unique in that she found a method to synchronize different genetic memories with her own.
Dustin Vance Arno and Shay (and every protagonist after Black Flag) are not related to Desmond though, so this is not correct.
In AC4 they talked about having a whole bunch of DNA doners which would account for Shay, Arno, and the Fryee twins.
@@LoganProductions54 Yeah but it only happens in Abstergo, now Layla brought that technology out there.
There *were* female gladiators, though. We know this, we have records of them, and even human remains that are clearly female but buried with the paraphernalia of gladiator 'burial clubs.' Some Roman emperors even put on entire gladiatorial games using only female gladiators.
Isn't it just so convenient how these politically correct stuff just so happen to pop up as time goes on? You do realise that back in ancient times women weren't allowed to do many things, ranging from combat to politics.
Yeah, I'm sure the Romans were just planting gladiatrix skeletons with full paraphernalia, cackling to themselves all the while. "Ohoho, Alexandrius. You understand not the joke now, but approximately two-thousand years from now, this shall tie in nicely with the SJW agenda!" Evidence doesn't stop being evidence just because it conflicts with how you imagine history to be.
Yes, women were not allowed to do a great many things in the Roman era -- it is, however, an error in thinking to go 'Welp, women couldn't do anything, full stop, they stayed at home and weaved.' History is rarely so neat and orderly. In the case of Rome, the divisions of gender were less important than the division between 'equites' 'civitas' and 'infames.' Gladiators were, by law, all 'infames,' -- to fight in the arena automatically diminished your status to that of an infames. And women who were infames had much more freedom in how they acted than women who were civitas, or who were the wives of equites (who were all male).
For the Romans, it was entirely palatable, even titillating, for two infames women to fight -- the unspoken rules that governed what infames could or could not do were not the same as that of citizens or nobility. Cassius Dio, writing favourably about Emperor Titus, talks about how he used many female gladiators, but he's quick to point out that Titus' gladiators were all infames, and Titus didn't indulge in the habits of other emperors by demeaning himself to fight in the arena. Female gladiators were just not that controversial.
Sorry if that contradicts what Hollywood has told you, but the truth doesn't change just because you think it should.
tl;dr: Read a fucking book, you blithering idiot.
Because faking/misinterpriting historical evidence totally never was a thing. Just saying, and no I don't get my history from Hollywood, besides why on Earth would anyone want women to fight to the death in an arena? If anything slave servants make far more sense for lower class women if you want to go with that. I highly doubt female gladiators could provide the same entertainment as males could.
Ah, yes. "Hmm. I didn't know this fact ... is it possible that I just didn't know something ... No. No, it must be a conspiracy. They're faking it all, I say!" Also, you talk about faking or misinterpreting evidence, but that would require multiple different sources stretching back decades to fake or misinterpret: Human remains, artwork, inscriptions literally carved in stone (such as one referring to a local magistrate's ruling in favour of 'women of the sword'), and the writings of numerous different people over the course of centuries.
Also, hey. Hey. I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Lower class women were also slaves. And servants. There were, in fact, quite a lot of lower class women, and they didn't all do the same thing.
Also, I like how you go "Why would anyone want women to fight to the death in an arena?!" as if wanting men to fight to the death in an arena is a normal thing, but women? "Pshaw, everyone knows that women die in far less entertaining ways! I, Mate397, should know."
Here's another secret for you: The Romans were a decadent, entertainment-obsessed people who *thrived* off lavish spectacle, and arena battles were less about 'wooo, yeah, murder!' (and, in fact, most gladiators didn't die in the arena) and more about theatre and athleticism. Taking the case of bestiarii, where we have writers talking about female bestiarii felling lions, the feat of killing a lion is really equally as impressive whether you're a man or a woman (and also not that impressive in general, given how controlled the environment of the arena often was).
Look. Clearly you are of a delicate disposition, and I can see this is difficult for you to cope with, but I need you to know that I don't care, and you learning new things is not proof of a ~conspiracy~ by historians and archaeologists. They aren't out to get you. It's okay.
Ah, gotta love the "clearly you're wearing a tinfoil hat" thing to make yourself sound so smart huh? You know what fine, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt that indeed there were female gladiators. Then how come these things only and only now in the oh so voiced "current year" are coming up if it was known for decades?
In addition to the ones pointed out in other comments, one incorrect sin concerns Caesar's death scene.
"Et tu, Brute" translates to "Even you, Brutus", and was invented by Shakespeare. The in-game "You too, my child" is the translation of the perhaps more iconic, but also probably fictional, "Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi".
Alberto Guarnieri I love Latin.
Plus “et tu, brute“ is utter nonsense, because it isnt correct syntax. Correct would be "et tu brutus"
Actually, Caesar's words to Brutus were in Greek - "καὶ σὺ, τέκνον", this means pretty much "You too, my child?", so...
@@herrott3633 'brute' is vocative, which is used when talking to someone, so 'et tu brute' is correct latin
I groaned a little there but honestly was more annoyed that the whole "Go to Rome, Kill Ceaser" felt so half-assed, like they desperately wanted to tie the birth of the assasin brotherhood to the asassination of Ceaser but ran out of time/money/resources to properly set it up. Not to mention killing Ceaser doesn't have much weight behind it because his AC character isn't developed very much due to him being in the game at all. Killing Flavius had some weight for being the murderer of Bayek's son at least.
Cleopatra was in Rome with Caesar at that time, so that sin is on you actually
The game even tells you also it never says she went back to Egypt
Nothing about Aya changing her name to Amunet just to shoehorn her into the assassin's tomb in AC2?

@@00Batman I felt as tho she didn't care much 4 her son compared to bayek

8:40 They were playing a game called Sennet whose rules are lost to time
I think thats supposed to be Mehen as its circular. But like Senet no one knows how it was played
IronBahamut oh yeah you're right
Idk why but I can't stop laughing at that.
It's another lost game known as Mehen, that is superior in every way to Sennet due to the snek board.
Adding to the errors noted by other commenters, women actually could be gladiators in ancient Rome. They were quite popular, too.
Yes but Gladiatrix were very rare to the point there are few notes about then, in fact there are no surviving records of how they were trained.
Point is, for a very long time women were discriminated and this should be reflected in any attempt of historical accuracy, not inject 20th century sensibilities into it because at one point your own propaganda will became true and the errors of the past will be ... rewritten.
That may not be true, interestingly. There's evidence that suggests we may simply not *have* the data, but that it might have existed. References in other works of the era, statues, and other minor things are causing historians to rethink the role of the Gladiatrix. In general, women were second-class citizens, quite true, but there are historians who suggest even that may not have been as extreme as we'd thought.
Like everything else dealing with history, it's an ongoing process as new data is discovered, and old data is filtered through new data.
How about stfu and stop saying shit like girls are worth anything 2000 years ago, unless you wanna rewrite the history books to include this fake ass women equality through out history...... a thing that only happened within the last 100 years
I never said anything about equality. Reread what I did say with less of your own misunderstandings.
They could be gladiators but theywere not allowed to be actors, if you go and see the show at alexandria you'll notice all the female roles are males, because a lot of those shows were "political" and women weren't allowed to partake in politics

I'm not even a fanboy of AC, but I liked this game so much that I bothered to get the Platinum in it and I only platinum either small and easy games or games that I love like this and Dying Light and both inFamous games on the ps4 (and the first inFamous on the ps3. Second one had stupid ugc related trophies that I wasn't gonna bother with)
Tl;Dr the game is awesome and people should definitely buy it
Ahan Bhalla omg I feel the same way
I had never played any AC games, but Origins was my first and it was awesome. Okey, is Ubisoft, with bugs and micropayments, but the game still very entreteinament and a beatufil map. The storie is not good enough compare to other games, but is decent. I really enjoyed this game.
Now I prefer Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Witcher 3, but AC Origins is a nice game (sorry for my English)
I love a lot of the games this guy makes fun of. But it is entertaining at least.
But yeah, Origins is a really good game.
Ahan Bhalla I agree completely, at the same time a lot of the 'sins' can be explained or brushed off fairly easily, and others just genuinely made me laugh: Ubisoft *ding* . Gold.
i disagree. it's not a bad game, but it completely changed it's style in the newer games to appeal to a more generic audience. they took away all the "assassin's creed" & left nothing but a generic rpg like most sequels nowadays.
In Assassin's Creed II, Leonardo said that to be able to use the Hidden Blades they had to cut off the finger but not in memoration for Bayek's stupidity.
They did that in AC1, too. The finger was removed to let the blade slide out. Leonardo improved the whole mechanism so it'd no longer be a thing.
Actually no. Altair fixed the blade after he realized Assassins walking around with their ring finger missing was a big giveaway of who they were. Leonardo used Altair's Codex page to repair Ezio's blade. Hence why Ezio's father nor any of the other Assassins lost their fingers. The only Assassins who still chopped off their fingers were the Spanish as they did it to prove their commitment to the Creed.
He did not, he said it was improved...
Welp, my bad. Played AC2 ages ago and haven't touched any other game in the series.
Uh yes he did. Altair fixed the blade. It was HIS CODEX. Leonardo worked off of ALTAIR'S DESIGN.
Sin 26:well the person who wield the blade before Bayek didn’t created the brotherhood
Thechrisanator 1 what most people don’t understand is that the whole assassins creed series’ goal is to track Desmond’s bloodline back to when the ISU were around so that they can analyze there technology and use it against the Templar’s. The thing is that the games follow real world logic that DNA degrades after every few generations and that they will need older DNA samples to go further back which is why after Desmond’s death Abstergo can’t go back any further because they don’t have any DNA to use to go further back. Hence why Abstergo in modern day isn’t a threat and haven’t gotten anymore pieces of Eden. With the DNA from the spear of Leonidas they can track the bloodline even further back now.
Mad King Yes not to mention the fact that their is a dlc for ac odyssey called the hidden blade in which we see the hidden blade in use.
Dude honestly ac origins is one of the best since the kenway saga ended

How about at the beginning of the game where the masked ones have Bayek and his kid and the Ptolemy is coming to the vault so they tell Bayek to open the vault while they leave but they know that Bayek at least needs the Apple to open the door. But then they take the Apple.
All bs aside though I love this game. The revenge quest family trauma shtick is old af but Origins is fantastic.

Combat is pretty poor, cheap clone of Dark Souls.
I eventually checked out of the story, but was greatly invested in exploring region by region.

- I have glitched through the wall more than I did in any other AC game. And every time when I get out, somehow, it ends up with Bayek dying so I need to do stuff all over again. Not to mention that since you can climb almost anything, infiltration has been reduced to nothing. There is way too little patrol and way to many entrance points to make infiltration a challenge.
- It's nice that you get to investigate stuff like you could in AC Syndicate. Minus deduction which is a bummer.
- Lore might be curious but there is no codex to investigate ancient Egypt further. Tours are lacking.
- You would think that the tombs would have some puzzles or traps inside to get to the inner chambers. All really comes down to killing cobras, breaking some walls and pushing some obvious shelves because of the floor "railing" doesn't let you go wherever you want and you don't have to think hard about where to go. Tombs like in AC2 or AC:B where better made since it required some skill with timed puzzle sections.
- Hunting is fine. It has more purpose than AC3 at least. Praise the lord.
- The game is pretty.
- Little touches are okay, I guess? Still can't pet all the cats running around, grrrr. And funner parts of assassination have been taken out, like cover kills.
- Majority of quest comes down to save someone from a fort. There is some interesting bits but since side quest don't get much of a spot light individually, I really can't keep track of all the quest givers. Not to mention that, since there is no time limits from what I have seen, you can just leave the area and do some other quests even when Bayek is terrified that a child might be dying. A bit strange change design choice.
- Didn't fight Phylakes yet.
- Bayek is great. His desire to help others and love for children shines through. Pity that he has to see so many of them murdered because Ubisoft needed to traumatize the guy as much as possible.
- Story telling is very odd. It's really hard to roleplay as the game starts with confusing you by having Bayek murdered someone after a time skip when he grew a beard.
- Didn't play Dark Souls. Combat is okay, I suppose. But I buy AC games to assassinate people from the shadows and not to fight in an arena. Since the assassination related techniques seems lacking in this game and skill tree is mostly combat related, I think that their focus was in the wrong place.
It's a good game as far as RPG goes but it doesn't feel like an assassination game that much anymore. But hey, it seems that people love it so I guess EA will continue that route. I guess I will have to see where focus in Odyssey lays.
Parkour is literally shit
6:48 - Speaking of, Bayek's revenge story is heavily influenced by modern norms. Losing your child is tragic, but in ancient Egypt the death rate and child mortality rate was pretty high, so yes, your average ancient Egyptian would've just had more kids by then.
14:07 - Also, making yourself vulnerable by hopping back in the Animus after your location has been compromised would be a terrible idea, as Abstergo could easily send another wave of assassins.
He didn't "lose" his child, his child was killed. And just because you can have more it doesn't mean the pain of losing the first just goes away.
15:28, What's wrong with the woman's skirt?

Normally love these videos but in this case a lot of your criticisms stem from YOU simply not understanding what is presented. It’s really odd how people are willing to suspend belief for some properties and not others. Do you really need a logical explanation of how certain things work the way they do in a franchise that explores things like the mythical properties of the apple of eden? Go pick up some non-fiction if you need sensible answers for everything.
This video demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of most of the story elements that are being criticized. Is it an amazing story? No. Is it good enough and very well executed? Yes. Story wise it’s on par with anything else out there with the exception of games that are almost single handedly famous for their narratives.
shane hallberg i thought the story was good😕
Jordan McClure it was good. Nothing groundbreaking but executed very well.
The story has to be paid attention to and actually thought of to follow. Not like most other games where the story is right in your face and it's obvious. I guess that somehow makes it bad? "Ow my brain". Yeah it's not great, but it is definitely still good. Not only that, a fair amount of sins in this video were blatantly incorrect. I get that these videos are supposed to be satire but some of these sins make it seem like he actually has no fucking clue what he's talking about.
If you're gonna try to be funny, make good points. Don't make them up and call them sins
exactly, cyanic. well said.
Cyanic Dream Unfortunately these sin channels rarely pay attention to the story of games and only do minimal investigation. You could make an entire video that renders most of these sins pointless. Dart clearly only plays these games to make sin videos for cash and has no intention on putting time and actual effort in finding actual sins outside of his own bottom of the barrel nitpicks. These videos make games look worse than what they actually are. He has the expectations of a in your face, explain everything in cutscenes painfully obvious stories
Dartigan's modus operandi of murdering videogames: step one, point something out about the game in a snarky voice. Step two, sin it.
This game was still amazing dispite your need to say it was grindy. I never once found it to be grindy if you did the missions in the cities you were in along the way XD
What's wrong with grinding though? Nobody wants to earn shit in games anymore😂
@@dluv5guys there's a difference between earning stuff in games & grinding. grinding is more extreme & tedious.
“And you my child” is correct. “And you, Brute!” phrase is from Shakespeare play.
I thought this game was amazing tbh
Overall though, Origins was art because of how multi-dimensional Bayek was. He had emotions like a person.
stop being so negative it is a great game and one of the best games in the ac series
In your shitty opinion
I played rogue!
And i never heard of somebody called William miles
Plus I would've preferred Desmond come back in a twist
Its not possible for desmond to come back we learned in i think black flag (correct me if im wrong)
That he was chopped up into bits and every part of his body was used to find more assassins and to get isu artifacts
Actually william is supposed to be dead we learn this from the comics and rogue but of course hes there some how
Sorry I'm years late but personally I hate the game for the fact that they try to make it as RPG with the level system. You can't kill someone even though you placed a blade in their neck for them to shove you off because your a low level.
Taharqa’s son was actually a enemy in the hidden ones dlc, he was the leader of the shadows of the scarab or w.e they was called
Then he joins the hidden ones
Sad that you didn't mourn the loss of the guy who paints climable ledges since you could clime any cliff without handholds in this game :(
Climbing got so boring since all you have to do it point forward and hold the climb up button.
Yes, magic is real in the ac series, think about the pieces of eden.
Its tech
Yeah what a dumb question literal magical Gods and Godesses being real in the AC universe for about 10 years now and this guy is still questioning if magic is real in AC
@@benjiboy4477 REALLY alien high tech = magic to us primitive apes!
They didn't cut their finger off in honour they HAD to because it was the only way for the blade to work. Later games introduced a modified blade that didn't require the finger to be cut off. It wasn't a mistake of Bayek it's just how the old blade worked
Sian Palmer Brown exactly, he got a fair amount wrong with the sins in this one
Well, it is retconned now because you can see darius' blade in the Odyssey post launch trailer and his blade extends from top of his wrist, not under... So that hidden blade is a cheap knock off probably
@@Shifty135792468 Meh, he is as wrong as AC:O is.
Considering that Bayek only loses his finger after you assassinate the bathing guy, it seems like Ubisoft totally forgot that it wasn't a tradition but a necessity for the blade to function until Altair modified after events in AC1 according to the codex in AC2. It pissed me off so much.
hmm, this game was pretty cool
as for the next game to sin, oh boy i have no idea, i want both but lets make fun of battlefront 2 first
Assassins Creed Origins is great
There are a lot of things in here that are pretty wrong
I loved Origins but the boat fight pissed me off.
"That hasn't become a tradition yet" No shit Sherlock this game shows the start of all their traditions
And THAT'S Why Its Called ORIGINS.
These games are convoluted garbage anyway
Its a shame because the game has so good graphics , everything loom right , it has a big map etc . Even in 4k . But i still cant say that is even better than the previous one . They fix some wrongs from syndicate but they also take out all the goods it had . I cant believe that ubisoft spend so much money on their games and they just can never make it all right
There totally were female gladiators though. We have pretty conclusive evidence available to support this
UnagiTempura not in that period not in that country not that often so its waaaaaaaaay too convinient even if it was in respective era, dont you think?
Maurice Anderson um ? Female gladiators have almost always been a thing , and in Egypt they had the same rights as men , so having female gladiators in Egypt is by no way "ahistorical"
no, no there weren't allowed however many just disguised as men and fought: later however people found out and then they were recorded in history as badass women who were excellent fighters.
4:06 it’s special because with the animus u can only experience ur descendants lives but Layla modified it so u can experience anyone’s memories with just a dna sample
What about only 2 kill animations per weapon really that killed the while game for me just hack and slash bs
parrying, blocking, dodging, shield attacks, bow attacks, and melee attacks, on top of fire attacks, poison attacks, and sleep attacks, in the air, on the ground, in the water, or on horseback. There is so much variety in how and where you can attack in this game. If you only hacked and slashed you weren't playing right.
J. H. Dude there are only 2 finishers per weapon it doesn't matter about the fire or poison it's still the same and you can only get a kill animation on the last enemy witch just ruined the unpredictable patterns of seeing it over and over the bow was a great touch but really just because they switched the combat it is still just as easy and is still one on one with a.zoomed in cam to close and the weapons are way to cartoon like way to big with fire and poison and sleep health on hit that's not making the game better that's just adding so plp will not see the laziness in the combat don't let them.fool you bruh shadow of war combat put this to shame where you actually need some skill to get kill finishers through a combo system and multiple enemy's will attack and you csn counter them with skill
Interviewer: What's your standard for a good game? A variety of weapons, tools, and shields with different stats and attributes? A good levelling system with cool upgrades? An extensive open world with many side quests, and locations that have worth while loot? A beautiful and stunning open world with an interesting setting?
NATE DIAZ: No, kill animations
J. H. Yea but I didn't say it was a bad game it is a good game but it could have been the greatest game ever and they kinda blew it and had 2 years to make it great they can't fool me just by adding a few tools and a doge button the witcher 3 combat is way better and shadow of war is also so go play them and come back this is a cartoon hack and slash dark soul type combat and I just think assassins don't fight like that why can't you unequip the sheild that would have been great and parry with the sword deflect arrows back at enemy's double stealth assassination like unity instead of using the enemy sword to throw back at another enemy on a chain overpower kill why not just pull the bow and get an instance headshot kill why when you do kill finishers its the same camera angle it least change that so its not so repetitive why not get 2 enemy's to attack and get a double counter kill finishers why is all the stealth assassination the same animation even on different size enemy's why us every weapon a reskin I have 123 hours in the game so it is worth the money but man I love assassins creed and this could have been one I could re play over if it was not just copy and paste on so many level's
I just realized this but when the little boy says I found a Hyena cave, I initially heard "I found a Heineken". I immediately thought wow I didn't realize Heineken had such subtle product placements.
What i dont get(in any game nowadays), is the clipping of characters. I see hair clippng through their bodies and when they put on crowns or headpieces it just passes right through the hair, rather then pushing aside hair like it should. Is such simple clipping still a thing even after all the advances in gaming technology?
Maybe one day when a company decides to spend 7 years on a game just tweaking little things in it, maybe.
Modern companies want to push out games as fast as possible, they want it to look amazing and feel amazing, so they don't have time to spend on working on how to process clothing, hair, and skin collision, which most games don't have.
Bruh you're talking about shit that can't really be done yet with current tech. You'll need one of those super computers that extremely hard-core pc gamers have with like 3 gpus and 128 gigs of ram and shiz. There's no way that you can have a world with the size, quality and variation of AC Origins and still have that smaller stuff. I'm surprised they even paid so much attention to the fire stuff in the game
I have an issue with this too but I don’t expect it to be corrected any time soon. Even the most insane tech demos feature various forms of clipping. You’d have to have multiple physics systems to implement no clipping and hair physics alone is something that can bring strain to a system that otherwise didn’t have any stain.
NeoMatrix you know hair and extra-long clothes is THE HARDEST thing to animate in movies and games.
How bout when the character is wearing a necklace and in the cut scene they bend over but the necklace sticks to their neck...
"No it didn't make them stronger" Yeah they only control all Egypt now and have access to a precursor vault
I haven't played But. .I'm vary happy this game did good 9/10 & 10/10
It at least took a step in a positive direction(in gameplay I mean, the story was still kinda...Ubisoftish.)
Scare crows while I agree its a familiar template, this is my favorite execution of it.
a fart can get 10/10
Xamufam no it can’t.
IGN has a bad reputation for scoring games poorly. Especially giving them scores that are too high. However if you look at any of their top 10-100 lists, you’ll find that most if not all games on said lists are very good and deserve their spot.
To this day IGN has never given out a perfect 10 that I’m aware of. I believe 9.8 is the highest score they’ve given and it was for one of the metal gear solid games if I’m not mistaken. The idea that it’s easy to get top tier rating is asinine. There’s no evidence for that anywhere.
shane hallberg majority of people would agree the newest Assassin's Creed installments is a great game and at very least deserves an 8 if not higher
Will you ever do some "retro" game sins? Like... 4th or 5th gen of game consoles era onward?
I love how Ubisoft gets a sin straightaway just for being Ubisoft.
13:59 has gotten me laughing because why yell at abstergo and run away
So to sum it up, the origin of the assassin's is basically Family Death + Stupidity = Assassin
bummer, you'd think it be
Murder + Accidental Genocide / lesson learned= Assassin
Deus Umbra for a non ac player and ubisoft hater this is the right explanation. But the majority of ac players disagree
i have played almost every assassin's creed game and i don't disagree in the slightest. nearly every assassin's story (with the exception of shay the assassin turned templar) starts with a dead family member then is continued by one dumbass decision after another.
Deus Umbra extra family death
The Origin of the Assassins is older they appear since the First Great Precursor War
were the race was divided in two the ones who wanted to make man kind slaves and the one who wanted to live witht hem and help them
there were 3 Great Precursor Wars all 3 ended with a natural calamity 1first was a Flood and 2nd and 3rd were Solar Explosions 3rd one eliminated them for good but humans survived inspecially the bion-engineered ones who were the Body Guards and Spys of Precursos those turned into the Assassins and then there wore the Elite Enforcers who were normal humans who turned into the Grand Order then as Templar now known as Abstergo
Dartigan, this is the best game that has made Ubisoft in the last years, give this guys some credit, the game is fun to play.

Actually, Caesar's real last words were "καὶ σὺ, τέκνον", which is Greek. It seems to translate to "And you, child?". So they're actually very historically-accurate on that front.
Caesar didn't actually say anything when he died, most agree that he was just silent
Alex Battaglia Suetonius said he didn’t say anything after his death but others there had reported he said the Greek words it’s lost to history at this point
This game is so good
4:35 accidental foreshadowing
4:35 yes it should but god forbid this franchise actually go to an area were the setting would make sense because Zoroastrian era middle east would be perfect for it
1.) Chess wasn't introduced to Europe until the Moors first traveled to Spain, which happened long after this game takes place.
2. William Miles did NOT die in Rogue.
3. Caesar never actually said "Et tu, Brute?" when he found out Brutus conspired to kill him. That's only in Shakespeare's play.
And when he suddenly changed language in the tomb that was because Caesar spoke Greek and Latin so he was probably speaking greek the whole time so everyone could understand him but then talked latin when he seen the tomb because he was surprised
"you could just climb out" you try getting buried by sand
Yeah what a dumb thing of him to say
There are a number of incorrect statements in this sins video, for instance the beard can already be changed manually in game by pressing L2 and Triangle. Clearly you have something against this game which is fine but alot of these sins seem pretty contrived to make the video longer and more controversial
wanyesullo Cherry picking at its finest. Mainly for views it seems.
The beard comment was a joke on how Ubisoft has more DLC content than the vanilla game, and how most of said DLCs just include basic things that involve the base game.
Do they though? I played through the whole game(not just story) without any preorder dlc and didnt think about opening the store or missing out on any content once.
wanyesullo You're missing the point. It was a joke about Ubisoft overall, not just this game.
TJ Korndoerfer No i understand i just disagree. This game is the direction ubisoft should be moving towards, and if they keep being criticised for general ubisoftesque problems they wont put the same effort into the next game.
That's the biggest problem with the Assassin's Creed stories I've seen. There's never a very strong through line to the narrative so that by the time you get to the climax, you don't understand or feel the significance.
Call of Fucking Duty.
"why fight the second elephant the hard way" Yeah its almost like he doesn't carry spears he found on a chariot, But you can use your bow
Also he was kind of wrong in the elephant part i think it was Alexander who worked out that hitting the eye or around the eye was one of the only ways to stop there charges and make them turn and run into the enemy
Why is Ubisoft is first sin and why is it even a sin 😭😂
Because it’s Ubisoft
Actually "Etu Brute?" wasn't the actual last words of Ceasar, by the accounts of the actual senators that killed him they said that it was "et pueri mei" which was "and you my child?". shakespear was the one that changed it for his play.
If you taken the time to actually play the game and do side quest youll have a better understanding, it is a incredible game and i loved it, yes ive played all assassin creed games
When will get to play as a Mexican assassin??
Assassin's Creed: Wild West
Ew
Raul Ortiz after they get their greenbook
Assassin's Creed Tacos
I love it keeps saying find the man who kill Khemu but in reality Bayek stab him and doesn't ever discuss it with Aya or have reactions when his motives are questioned
So you prefer to have the story completely told to you up front instead of being slowly revealed? The whole point is to have you discover what happened and slowly unravel the story yourself instead of just serving it to you on a platter. What about in a TV show where a plot point is brought up only to be given a payoff seasons later? Idk how mystery becomes a sin lol you’re just reaching
But... didnt Assassin come from Hassan-I Sabbah? Shouldn't that be a sin or is it explained?
Some call me Gally they didnt call themselves "Assassins" until his time but they start off as the "Hidden Ones" which would become the Assassins from AC1
+Rigathor Nope, nope, nope, incorrect, don't talk about history if you don't know what you're talking about. The word "Assassin" is of indeterminate origin. The folk etymology claims that it comes from "Hashashin", meaning "Smoker of Hashish", but we don't know if that's the real etymology or not. A plausible alternative suggests the word comes from "Asasiyun", meaning "faithful to the foundation", which is something Hassan-i-Sabbah may have called his followers. There's no "ritual in which they smoked hash", I don't even know where you got that from.
Erudito otidurE finally someone with knowledge in the comment section, well played sir/ ma'am.
+KloudyWoolf Thanks, haha
Some call me Gally In the game they existed even before Hassan-I Sabbah.
Not sure if they did it on purpose, but they got the pharaohs all jacked up in the DLC. They got Queen Nefertit and Pharaoh Akhenaten, who actually ruled together, but they didn't really put any ties to King Tut. Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten and ruled Egypt after him. Then they skip way down to Ramesses The Great, who is Ramesses II. They missed Pharaoh Horemheb who reigned after Tut. Horemheb destroyed the city of Akhenaten and tried to blot his name from history. Then you still have Ramesses I, father of Ramesses The Great, who reigned after Horemheb and before his son. I understand that they picked Pharaohs that did good for Egypt, but I feel they kind of missed out on some story leaving out a Pharaoh that tried to destroy it
3:25, "This moment is what leads Bayek down a path of vengeance and ends with the establishment of the Assassin brotherhood, which means two millennia of conflict and Death exists because of a dead kid and his father's revenge" Bro...
And for some reason he gives that a sin
This game has so many details
Women did fight as gladiators in the coliseum.
deathroman13 is that in Egypt
Mr Dinky yes.
Pod The Rod the Coliseum isn't in Egypt
Mr Dinky are you fucking dumb they had coliseums in Egypt
The most famous colosseum was and is in Rome but yes, there were gladiator arenas in Egypt.
4:31 weeeeeell actually
I also pray for the day, TH-camrs will stop using the farcry 3 definition of insanity like it's some philosophical revelation of the century. It's not clever, it's not smart and it's been used more than should ever have ever been ever'd.
That quote goes back far beyond Far Cry 3. While widely attributed to Einstein, the only documented trail of it is from Alcoholics Anonymous pamphlets. They've used it, in one form or another, for nearly 40 years.
i think you did not understood it .
I love how literally the last sin video you did on assassins creed you mentioned how the fight against the final boss is like a shitty mmo
So they made the entire series a shitty mmo-like thing
Mmm do love me some no personality cinema sins clone that are overly negative and unfunny
I admit, this "target" thingy looks borrowed from Tom Clancy Wildlands... killing one target leads to another... but realizing in the end that there isn't any single right target. When Bayek keeps saying "YOU KILLED MY CHILD" I was like "uhh no broo... Your anger killed your child... "
"Ubisoft", "Ding" lol really？
As An Egyptian, I Was Pretty Sure He was Gonna Sin this Game and I Actually Like AC Origins because it's based off My Home!
I actually like this game because it's a great game and most of these sins could be easily explained or they are just because the guy is an idiot
@@00Batman i agree
Uh actually in AC Rogue, there was only ever a message that said "William Miles is dead", there was no video or audio of his death so it was debatable at best as to his status. But then if u dug further there was another text that said "Williams Miles is alive". He probably falsely reported his fate to throw Abstergo off. Get your facts straight. Its on the wiki.
In the sequel comics, William's corpse is shown, he was stabbed.
I know what you mean pacing wise, for about 30 hours it's your standard "go here, kill this guy, level up etc" until the last few hours which just drowns you in plot progression and has you killing like 4 Members of the order in that time, was really strange.
I loved this game sooo much. I had a lot of fun playing this.
I don’t think you have a very good grasp at ac lore. The ring finger thing Tahiti actually started it because she wanted to copy bayek and also it was safer to have the finger removed in a controlled way rather than have it in the middle of combat and have extreme pain like bayek did. But still most of the reasons are pretty good. But honestly I and many other of my friends enjoy the story and makeover of the ac brand.
But that has nothing to do what he says. What he says is that they cut their finger to show commitment when this was just an accident. If Bayek had to sacrifice his finger to get revenge (since this was an old assassins blade you could have done that in the story) then that would make sense. With this, it just looks stupid, because they are basically honoring an accident.
Watched the whole video. Still have no idea who all the 'villains' you kill really were, but I did catch that basically they were all stupid and trying to kill each other....but then not kill each other? I think. Idk
theStonerKid69 The answer is:Play the game.
They were all part of a cult that wants to take over Egypt and each one is special
they are basically the bad guys and their motivations are uncertain (I am at the end of the game and I still don't know who most of them are, what purpose they served and why I should care, which is sad as the assassination cinematics were quite good, would have been great if I wasn't saying to myself "wtf is he ?" each time I got to them), it's a pity for this game to be so black and white after they tried to make things more complex in AC3 or Rogue
@@Hibbzon I think that they really wanted to get AC1 effect but didn't quite achieve it since there is so many main targets and so many NPCs they kept introducing. The "masks" had their reasons to do stuff but they are not really memorable or noteworthy imo.
@@illusionofquality979 clearly, the thing is, in AC1 some of the guys you had to assassinate were remarkable in some ways or at least led to interesting moments.
In origins you get a cool cinematic introducing the main masked one of a region (which intrigued me most of the time) and then you go on doing forgettable stuff with even more forgettable side characters (I mean aside from bayek and his wife, maybe, I couldn't give you a name or a particular feature from this cast of side characters).
The worst of all being maybe the crocodile who pops up right at the end of the "arena arch" and we're meant to feel something about that old woman that we've met like 2 seconds ago (I didn't even understand she was the main vilain with the cinematic after defeating the two brothers, that shows how much interest I had in her character).
@9:13 or instead of chess what about senet? An actual game in ancient Egypt that is still played?
I keep missing the live streams...and I hate it because I have work.
