@@IlMemetor72 let the man earn some money
Ah, nostalgia
I get it nostalgic
@@sebastianmancuso4549 eZiO wAnT tO hAvE a LoOk At ThE bOoK?
Free my ass.
"I intend to write a book about you one day."
"If you do, make it short."
This is my favorite exchange in the whole franchise
That's a great one, but I personally prefer
"My church is not of God."
What book of Machiavelli are they referencing?
@@maximelietaer1630 "The Prince"...which is also famously short.
isn't the Prince book about Cesare?
@@zwykyziomek2570 Out-of-universe, yes.
In-universe, no.
Machiavelli: I intend to write a book about you one day
Ezio: if you do make it short
Lazerzz: make hours of videos of ezio and probably make more
Ezio said nothing about youtube videos. That's on him.
Or a trilogy of video games that have consumed hundreds of hours from people
And then Machiavelli wrote books about the Borgias lol ;D
@@daxasd3270 at least it was short
No matter how many years go by, the music will forever give me goosebumps
especially "Echoes of the Roman Ruins" :)
Here is a tipp for you. Go to Tuscany on a road trip. You can visit places like San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and Florence. Play the AC 2 soundtrack while you do. Enjoy the magic.
@@svenw2176 I need to do this
@@svenw2176 I visited family in Italy a couple years ago and visited churches and markets with AC2 soundtrack playing and yup def magical af 😎
I'ts pretty cool to see the actual sites and be like "Yeah, I remember climbing that building and jumping off that roof, shouldn't there be a secret entrence somewhere around here?"
I don't think Brotherhood could have been as good as it is without Cesare's voice actor. He's easily the best performance in the entire game besides Roger Craig Smith
He definitely isn't going to die by the hand of man
@@DirtySoulsTV They cannot kill him. No man can murder him.
All he does is yell 90% of the time
He's just a giant fucking baby always yelling about something
The Ubisoft of the Ezio era and the Ubisoft of now is so different they may as well be a different development studio
...well...technically they are
@@Sumunuhriginal yes I know of the specific sub-sets of studios like Montreal, Quebec etc. I’m more so talking about Ubisoft as a whole. It doesn’t feel the same. That’s not necessarily entirely a bad thing, just an observation
@@Tobias_R exactly, I don't think there is any core lore team for ac at present ubisoft. Current employees must not be knowing what they are doing and what Assassin's creed was.
@@tejas4256 The one developer who supports the Sisterhood movement didn't even play the first game.
@@Tobias_R yea
The Ezio trilogy will always be the best Assassins Creed games, a lot of people like the exploration and freedom black flag gives. Black Flag the game changes pace you go from Ezio who was destined to lead the Assassins to Edward who wants to do what he thinks is right. It’s a complete Narrative change, from here is where you see the change in the Assassins Creed games from what they were to what they will become.
You go from the Ezio trilogy which is a heavy story driven Narrative, everything you you do in the game leads to one individual place. In future games that isn’t the same, the worlds are bigger and filled with individual that’s have there own agenda. That’s what made the Ezio Trilogy enjoyable is every choice lead to the same outcome which Ezio and the Assassins were aiming for, this singular driven narrative is what’s missing from modern Assassin Creed games.
I'll never not love the way the AC fandom salivates over the most mid games in existence.
@@ginge641 there’s a reason why we do. You saying Ezio sucks?
I remember pulling a sicky at college to play Brotherhood. I was so excited!
I cant wait to see the 10 year retrospective of revelations. These videos are extremely interesting and you put so much time and effort in these videos. Absolutely amazing keep up the content 🔥
am i the only one that, as a child, played it only for the action? but then come back years later and fell in love with the story too?
jesus, i was so innocent at that time that i tought AC Brotherhood invented 3rd pearson ganra
This video made me realize that assassins creed only consisted of a 5 game series. (AC1 AC2 ACB ACR AC3) AC3 gets alot of flack and criticism but it still oozed Assassins creed throughout. Other games that deviated from desmonds story are fun but just not the same.. its sad tbh that Desmonds arc ended the way it did. I miss the old days..😔
Can you keep this series going? I wanna see one for revelations, AC3 and 4 , this are some of the best videos
Also to be noted for the Cristina Memories is that, Ezio has his Hidden Gun on his bracer from very early on, like 1478 or something
I believe you're talking about the part where ezio met Cristina after he had been to Venezia. Ezio acquired the gun in Venzeia. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
This was my first ever xbox 360 game. I was ten years old and I remember just playing this non stop for months.
The story was amazing, gameplay captivating and had so much variety (from my perspective)
With the multiplayer added onto it... This game was practically perfect.
Remember when the historical characters had deaths somewhat similar/related to their real-life counterparts :')
Like Caesar in Origins?
Assasins creed is told to have been burned by angry fans at ubisoft studios this was interpretted as the last 5 games
Still has
I always imagined that the Climbing Glove was to help out because of Ezio’s shoulder injury in the early part of the story. It meant that he couldn’t naturally climb quite as well as he used to
Brotherhood is probably my favourite game, in fact piece of media, of all time
God I miss the old assassin creed so much
As for this video, the music transition you were talking about on stream. FUCK!! it was so good, absolutely loved it. The video is done to perfection and does absolute BITS.
Awesome video, so much nostalgia! This game was my introduction to the AC series, and the start of my obsession! Especially loved recruiting and leveling up my assassin brotherhood into badass killers, really miss this being a part of the game
What a coincidence. I've started replaying the old AC games and finished Brotherhood yesterday.
I find it so amazing that James made Brotherhood now his favorite Assassin's Creed game ever when it used to be AC2 all because of this retrospective and damn, Brotherhood really is for me truly amazing and will always be one of the best Assassin's Creed games ever. :)
"of all time ever made"
Ezio in the 14th century: I'm gonna let gravity kill this guy
Issac Newton: _visible confusion_
man sometimes i stumble upon those yt vids about old ac games... the nostalgia hits
The writing and how the actors speak in previous assassins creed games is better compared to the new games. Its sad what assassins creed has become now.
I didn’t expect to be engaged enough to watch the whole video but damn. Great video. Brotherhood is definitely my favorite AC game
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the "her" that Juno wants Desmond to find is Layla Hassan from the mythology trilogy. I feel like the ending of AC Valhalla confirms this.
I hope the directors and team who worked on this game see this video and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment
I recently let my girlfriend (who hasn't played a video game in her entire life before) playing though AC2 and Brotherhood. Eventhough I loved both of them immensely when I played them years ago, I found myself being very frustrated while playing through AC2 with her. Brotherhood however, was still amazing. Everything came back to me, and it really shows that it is able to uphold interest all these years later.
I met the voice actor for Leo, he was the sweetest voice actor I have met! I met him my freshman year and my first comic con.
39:10 gotta admit, i do always find it a bit funny, how nochalant Niccolo is here, like he isnt confused or unsettled whatsoever, despite almost dying.
You made a great video, bro. Looking forward to the next for the underrated gem that is Revelations!
Keep it up!
At the end Juno talks about “She must join him at the gate” and “she is yet to be found” I believe Juno is talking about Layla who meets Desmond in the gray and starts going through timeline with Desmond.
I may be wrong and am not sure if anyone else has found this
hmm actually thats might be true. but whats the gray? i havent finished valhalla yet. should probably finish it
@@five2019 It’s the place Juno was kept and released from in AC3 it’s also where Desmond went after saving earth and Layla for whatever she did
@@five2019 I haven’t played Valhalla at all just going off of a video of them in the gray I saw
I’m being genuinely serious I rewinded the video at the title shot for brotherhood when the music was playing, and my hairs literally stood up with the nostalgia and emotions and childhood memories of that game, I loved that game so much when I was younger. It was like an escape in a weird time for me, I listened too that song when I was younger and people thought it was weird but I loved it since it was from assassins creed. Really special game for me and seems for a lot of people.
The place where Ezio places the apple, beneath the Colosseum inside the vault, is actually near the same place where one of the Lair of Romulus mission takes place. Remember the Romulus Lair whose entrance was in the Colosseum? And you chase someone in black robes? At the end of the mission before you get Romulus scroll, there is a big door which Ezio opens. That door is in the same place where Desmond and his friends go to get the apple.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was the very first Assassin's Creed game I ever played back in 2010 how I loved every bit of it is the best Assassin's Creed game ever in my opinion
This music takes me to a place I've never been but feels familiar. And nostalgic.
Honestly i am still playing this game on my ps3 and havent beated it.
good luck, beat it
I remember the first time playing this and Ezio has to rush back to "save" Claudia and realizes for the first time (despite her trying to tell him for years) that she is bout that action.
I remember as a kid just replaying it to get max level assassin's doing this for hour's
Every single person I see talking about Leonardo's tank mission says that it's the hardest mission in the whole game to do 100%. Everybody says that... And I never understood It, because when I was playing this game for the first time in my life, I did 100% at first try without any difficulty
I hate you so much right now lol, it took me HOURS thanks to random bullshit.
I literally did it First try dude. I Just kept moving all the time, going from one side of the area to the other while shooting the enemies
Awesome video! Will You do a retrospective on my fav AC game: Revelations?
I will be for sure
I've actually been waiting for this video since the AC2 10 years later video. Also the reason why I'm subscribed to you. You hit all the points why I loved these now classic AC games. Great video! Truly enjoyed it (and plan on watching it again many many times)
man watching your videos makes me want to play these games again so badly even though i just replayed all AC games up to AC Rogue few days ago
Sad to think we will probably never see these times again in the assassin’s creed franchise. Such a legendary game by far my favorite. Super late to this but great video as always.
I loved the ezio trilogy. I remember my mother bringing me both a ps3 and ac2 as my first game. And it was one of the best introductions to a ps3 for me. I lived brotherhood and the assassin recruits abilities it really felt like ezio was building the Creed up to a strong faction
Oh Brotherhood was such a great game. This was the first AC I 100% completed it.
Imagine if Minerva anticipated wrongly where the viewer would be looking and started talking off into some random direction
Played hooky for a couple days in middle school and finished Brotherhood, it was my first AC game I finished and I’ll alway cherish that day. I got the first game on my ps3 and and brotherhood on 360 for Christmas from my parents they were divorced so I played whichever one I had at there house lol I love these games so much!!! Good memories
The single negative thing I have to say about brotherhood is the fact that the city isn't as planned as the ones in ac 2 and revelations. You often need to climb down to the street to cross to the buildings on the other side which often breaks the flow. But as I said. This is the single negative thing I have to say. Love this game
After the Ezio trilogy, it was basically "Requiescat in Pace" for the AC series!
23:36 Watching this sequence only to see Caterina be validated in a cutscene 10 minutes later was honestly one of the funniest moments in a video game for me. Very well executed.
I can’t wait for revelations 10 years later.
god fucking damn it i'm old.
i remember illegally downloading the ezio trilogy when i was 14 years old, so about a year after revelations had come out. i have been obsessed with the franchise ever since then. i will never forget the impact these games had on me. of course, since then, i've paid for these games twice because they're just THAT good. i wish ubisoft could relive these glory days. such a disappointment.
36:42 ngl when i saw this scene i legit believed that the next AC game would have us playing as eve during the isu era.
Great video for a great game, can't wait for the conclusion of this trilogy next year
Bro are you working on one for Revelations too :)
You are a true Assassin btw. Keep these up 👍🏻 Very happy to see someone explore the philosophical depth of history and the spiritual inclination of humanity in these games.
dude your intro is so gooooood
I can't wait for Assassin’s Creed Revelations 10 Years Later its my favorite Assassin's creed game
27:05 there is a way too cheese this mission. When you come up to the last arena with the tanks you can back off behind the gate. It wił show as "desynchronisation imminent" but you can keep hitting the tanks and they do you no damage.
How are you so good at doing intros they’re cool af
BY FAR my favorite AC game
The online multiplayer was also underrated as hell. I used to play that all the time after I beat the story.
OMD!! "find me in the darkness". I just realised that it replays when he goes into a coma and the screen fades to black. (unless James did that??) around 1:07:50
first time i played it i was so convinced macciavelli was working with the templars
'Member when Minerva pierced through the 4th wall into your eyes? Well that was fun!
Really good work👍
Mario's death still hits hard man
When are you going to give us your intro tribute videos? All the assassin's creed retrospective videos have the greatest intros I've seen but can't find them anywhere
This game is my fucking childhood. I remember the morning I beat it, I was like “Wait, I’m beating the game?? Wow i can’t believe it!”
Wowwwwwww I FORGOT HOW FIRE THE STORY WASSSSS
I replayed this just before i went to Rome back in 2017. Fully recommend doing so
This is a great video mate
Today I learned you don't have to kill the captains and burn the towers down to synchronize the viewpoint. Have at it. I mean, I figured you'd be able to climb up there, but the actual viewpoint would be deactivated until the Borgia captain is dead -- just like how you can get there, but can't burn the towers down unless the captain is dead.
Buuuutttt daaaaaad I don’t wannnnnaasas wait another year for the revelations viiiiiiid
I never interpreted the voices during the credits as William putting Desmond back into the animus. None of the voices (except maybe Nolan North?) Sound like any of the previously established characters, and also they say "the animus did this to him". But Desmond wasn't in the animus when the coma started. That plus Jupiter referring to someone named "Cypher" always made me think that Desmond was another ancestor being relived by an as of yet introduced main character. Though this was all probably scrapped if it was their intent.
Well, actually, that random woman from the beginning of Brotherhood was confirmed to have been I think beheaded in the Brotherhood novel during the siege, so I don't think that she is sus
Also, Quebec didn't think of a lot of things when it came to making their games, like consistancy, giving a shit about the franchise, making good and interesting characters, etc.
All i want is the ability to call for assassins to help you in combat like in Brotherhood
i forgot how good these graphics were especially at the time it was made
I’m not sure if Valhalla was out when this vid came out. But I have read that Layla is the “eve”since Desmond is the “Adam”
I’ve never really understood people who use the word “vibe” and I never really get it, although, when I hear that ac brotherhood theme, I do catch that vibe, that vibey vibe. That vibe that’s so, vibey.
One thing that I notice, is that Enzio is doing exactly what the Medici did in Florence to built their economic and political empire, giving loans to blacksmiths, art dealers and tailors, and I realise that in this game they never, ever, acknowledge the Medici again, maybe because if you read real history, apart of the obvious dissonant that are the Borgia being a generation early, the Medici would have been the villains of Assassin Creed II not the allies, and also their presence contradicts Machiavelli being in this game, because he fought against them and lose, and the Medici was the reason why he wrote The Prince in first place.
The Ezio trilogy is the most memorable and the best in my opinion.
99% cutscenes, 1% actual playing the game
Still the best AC.
I find the Giant in the Storm naval mission in AC3 way harder than the tank in Brotherhood. Or at least I say that because the tank mission can be cheated to not get hit at the end lol
Best Assassin’s Creed to date
When claudia says shes been on her own for 20 years it always catches me off guard, because maybe its just me but she does not look like shes in her 30's she maybe looks 22 at the oldest (at least to me)
I love this game and ezio. My little brother was like 5 or something and this was the first game he played. All he did was ride horses because I was pretty far in the game. So he would come into my room and ask to play the horse game aka assassins creed brotherhood
Honestly it's kinda weird how much Valhalla connects with the Ezio trilogy.
Hell with the ending of Valhalla, Desmond finally found Eve.
51:25 the women in the background straight up despawns
Sorry but the Romulus armor looks great. I like the inspired ancient Rome soldier look.
Little bit like the outfit from Maximus Decimus Meridius from Gladiator
Fun fact: I bought Brotherhood on sale on steam when I was like 11, and went to revisit it recently as it's one of the only AC games I never got super far into-
But apparently it went to a separate Ubisoft account I can no longer access, despite only ever having used the same email and steam account. I submitted a claim about it in June and they told me they would escalate my case to get the game transferred, and guess what? I'm still waiting for any kind of response.
Fuck you, Ubisoft.
All i hear from Desmond is Nathan Drake, which i love but also drives me nuts.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but to me Assassins creed unity is the peak of Assassins creed.
Wholeheartedly agree with this boing the best game of the franchise
When they are flashing those various symbols at the end you can see a pentagram in there. I know it’s crazy but this game truly does reference a few biblical philosophies. The entire series honestly. I’m pretty sure a lot of the assassin code is just parodied free Masonic vows
Like I know you all remember that sequence from AC 2 where they literally show Adam and Eve fleeing the garden but it’s no garden it’s advanced af technology
Brotherhood was the best AC game
If they remastered it, I'd be willing to pay money for it again EDIT: If they ACTUALLY remastered it..
the best ac game ever
SPOILERS
They litterally mentioned Layla in Brotherhood lmao.
Juno’s last words make so much sense once you beat Valhalla. Layla is the 6th. She meets desmond and she’s the one Juno was refering to during the ending sequence
