I know...it just feels like a "sucks to be them" type deal. There was pretty high chance that Jacob or Evie could have died way before they got close to achieving anything major. Good thing Crawford Starrick was so easy to conquer, that WOULD have made things difficult....stupid Starrick
"easy to conquer" lol. Also the the average lifespan was so low because of kids dying very young back then. Every second child died before 5 years old, especially in the bad parts of London. Don't forget they used leeches and tinctures to cure sick ppl, lights on the streets were each lighted manually and almost everybody was pretty fuckin poor
showing the legacy of the Frye Twins and the great lives they led while at the same time showing Jacob randomly slaughtering people throughout the city. Nice.
She looked pretty damn good for an Assassin of that age group. Especially considering she was a British woman living in India at the time. Sun damage is no joke, yo. I go back and forth on whether I like or hate her new gear and robes, though. It felt like great concept, poor execution.
the only reason why life expectancy at the time was so low was because of high infant mortality.. If children exceeded the age of five they would typically live for 60-70 years depending on many factors of course
This is true, infant mortality was 36% before the age of six and they are counted in the average life expectancy. Still workers in dirty factories and so on also had a lower life expectancy of around the 40-50. Also nutrition is a major factor but that is why higher class people pretty much lived as long as we did now if they did not get a major disease. Whenever you check the life of old famous people you will see that most of them did live pretty much standard life spans by our standard because famous people were rich (or at the very least had enough for decent food and heating and so on) Darwin lived to 73 just around this time, Newton lived to 83 a couple hundred years earlier. Many famous Romans lived to their 70s and 80s even though back then the life expectancy was 35. Because they count infant mortality, which is a bit stupid in my opinion.
Actually it was cause of led poisoning , poorly made food and many other factors , like top hats had led in it Wich is responsible for the term mad hatter,
Guys, it is a topic that completly comes down to personal preference. What is wrong about different people enjoying different things? I didn't like brotherhood while others proclaim it to be the best of all games, so what? Insulting people just because they have a different taste and opinion is just evidence of a low mind...
It is my favourite too, Victorian London itself is enough to make me love it :) The city and the characters were awesome, however the story and the storytelling (as from ac3) was kinda flat. The rope launcher was awesome too.
The reason life expectancy is so low is many infants died. If you survived your first ten years your would probably live to 50 or 60 depending on your lifestyle back then.
I really got obsess with this game. It was amazing. They were pretty cool siblings. Took over the entire London and found pretty much everything. Clara O'Dea is so adorable was really cute when she hug Evie.
Jacob and Evie were pretty active for their age. Evie was fighting Jack the Ripper himself at the age of 41 and still winning so there’s no doubt in my mind that they lived to be like 70
well, the thing is that living during that time especially in london was pretty hard if you think of it from a realistic standpoint. pretty bad healthcare with more disease and likeliness of injury, over-population, pollution, etc. the industrial revolution made life hard on people. its the reason why so many babies were born with deformities and died so soon. also why so many people got cancer. but i mean, plot armor exists so they probably ignored all that and evie and jacob lived to be like 70 before they died.
70 is old, how about that Altair making it to his 90s in the 1200s? That's impressive. Ezio only made it to his 60s. How old did Conor reach? How many assassin's get to die of old age Something I noticed about the Frye twins: so many people put the male first, even when the female is older. Evie is the eldest (Like Sara Ryder in Mass Effect Andromeda).
Assassin's creed syndicate could have been one of the best ac games. But it had a very avarage storyline. Imagine this game's story started in childhood of both jacob and evie frey and how they struggled,how their father was murdered,how they started as an assassin and took their father's work. The character development of this story is very poor. surg abberliner, Dickens, Darwin,karl marx,alex flamming all these historical characters and they couldn't create a meaningful character development. All of them could have been a important part of the assassin brotherhood. Jacob's mission could have been more creating a perfect assassin's brotherhood. Evie's part of collecting the pieces of eden was horrible and very little. And the worst thing is the villains. Ubisoft just lebeled those characters as villains.they were so stupid omg.their cause,their beliefs,their work was not described well at all. Aside all the bad sides of this game. Damn that gameplay it felt so awesome. Gameplay was the only thing that has driven me to complete this game
I mean, if you think about it, the game was made in a year by a team that had not made an AC game before. So honestly IMO on that point alone the game is amazing in how it came out, especially in terms of how polished the gameplay is. Could it be better? Absolutely. But it’d need more time in the oven. 1 year for a game of this magnitude is not nearly enough, especially for a team that isn’t comprised of veteran developers of the series. It’s my favorite AC game by far. I love Ezio for sure, he’s great, but the gameplay in the older games leaves a lot to be desired once you’re used to the smoothness of the newer games. Especially since you could now actually be stealthy while in older AC games you just had to hope the guard wouldn’t turn around while you’re slowly walking their way to not make a sound.
Atticus Howle It definitely hurts the series when you have to be introduced to a whole new protagonist in each game. They need to break things up into trilogies or something in order to develop their characters. Arno and Connor for instance should definitely get sequels, and eventually do a crossover style game where both team up to go after Shay.
@@ohav3893 it did end with ezio, he wasn't talking bloodlines since then you can say half the franchise is about the same family, he means main character as in connor, Edward, arno, shay, the frye twins, each one of them only got one game, and in every single game it was hardly enough to show any character development
@@moradshehadey5750 Come on, edward had the best character development, the only bad thing was it happened in one game. I'd love to see Edward forming a assassin brotherhood in britain before he is assassinated but doubt it would make for a whole game. Arno, just as ezio, needs a trilogy to truly show character development. Connor is fine. Shay is fine. The frye twins had a whole game and the dlc satisfied me
Jacob Frye is my favorite of the assassins so far. He doesnt feel like the stereotypical stoic assassin with very little personality like most of the assassins so far. Etzio was flat until revelations and he kinda lightened up. The new games are graphically and mechanically better but I find the characters boring or flat in personality. Jacob and evie frye was brimming with personality and quirks that if it was a movie I would have gone to see.
@@Wukong330 Ezio really grew in 2. There was nothing about him that was flat. You can see how he starts straying from just being an Assassin for revenge and starts dedicating himself more to the brotherhood. And it’s even more obvious to see that he became wiser as the game went on. I don’t think you paid much attention to his character
WW1 was some of the best times I've spent in AC. Syndicate is my favourite probably because I'm a huge fan of the era but the War Story alone was amazing.
Its not inconceivable that they lived into their 70s in the 1920s. Queen Victoria was past 80 when she died. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was past 70. ...Admittably they were both rich, lived relatively easy lives (especially Victoria), and had access to good medical care. But still...not inconceivable.
I get that the gameplay upset a lot of AC players, but idk. I really loved playing as both Jacob and Evie, i thought they both had great personalities and their outfits were awesome. I also love the time era it takes place in and the whole street gang thing really had me hooked. I thought it was WAY better than black flag, AC3, and Unity. (Haven't played rouge yet so i can't judge it) but i think people just expect so much in video games these days that if it's not A+ all around, people dismiss it as a shit game. I enjoyed the hell out of this game, the only other AC games i enjoyed more were Origins and of course the Ezio trilogy.
@@DARKENINGTIMES I definitely loved Black Flag, but idk the ship stuff gets annoying fast for me. I play AC for the story, im not interested in games that require too much skill and focus. I like the feeling of living through a different period with an interesting character and following their story, I hate having to stalk enemy targets for long distances, ship battles, and technical combat so thats where Black Flag gets a thumbs down from me. It would be my favorite game if not for that tbh bc the pirate theme is awesome. Ive also played Oddessy since this comment and that was a fantastic game too
@@Calilou52 yea, everyone has their own preferences. i personally love both the combat and the ship battles. i agree with having to follow people tho, that was annoying as shit
Okay wow, you really need to read up on what life expectancy actually meant back then. In the old days a life expectancy of 40-45 didn't actually mean that you only lived to 40-45. The reason why it is so low is because of the infant mortality rate begin incredibly high compared to now. If you got past the first five years of your life as a child, you would probably be just fine and live to 50-80 depending on what happened to you.
Evie looks WAAAAAY older in the DLC even though it takes place 15 years later than the main story. Jacob looks 1-2 years older in the DLC. I guess Jacob cares more about how he looks XD
Life expectancy was so low because they counted people who died early, including during birth and so on. People could still live past 70, more often than we think.
Just to be specific. WW1 simulation events happen in 1916 (that's mentioned in the game). Therefore the last year we know they were still alive is that year. Also, Britain was never invaded during the wars, and almost all raids were on strategic locations (factories and big cities), so I don't think they died during WW1.
Alexander Romero Yes it’s worth it. The pros are you get all the DLCs with the Season Pass for free and the cons are that you automatically get gear packs that you either will like or not and the weapons will become useless in the future because you will be able to use legendary weapons.
Would’ve been sick if by the time of Jack the Ripper, Jacob had moved into the Kenway mansion and re-established it as the headquarters of the assassins in London
They couldn't die because of Teplars, the Assasins had destroyed Templars and they had enough so they started to train Police and the problem that appeared is Jack the Ripper, but good thinking. EDIT: they didn't have enough, the Templars gived up and there was a lot of crimes so they started to train special Police forces and Inspectors.
People are forgetting that the assassins are in top shape and usually live afar from main cities so chances of them getting sick are low, they also know all kinds of secrets...
I like to think that Jacob Frye played a more key role after the events of syndicate he even play a small role in assisting the assassin's in the franco-prussian war (which I think would be a good setting in Assassin's Creed and he not only had a granddaughter he also had a grandson who actually fought the ww1 (also a good idea of an assassin's creed game)
I feel like I am the only one feeling sad for them... I just lost my favourite assassins. If you think Ezio is the best, if you think Bayek is the best, does not matter, they were all assassins.
AC: Syndicate didn't come out by the time this video released, but that game shows that the artifacts can not only make you live longer, but make you literally immortal, and they did have contact with an artifact in the game, one that's capable of healing and regenerating, so given how powerful the artifacts have proven to be through the entire series I think it's very capable that they lived for way longer than 40 or even 70, even if their time with the Shroud of Even was limited
I think you keep equating average life expectancy with average age of death. Most people that lived well in to their middle aged years could easily live well beyond that too. The child death rate was very high due to a number of illnesses that killed children, that in the modern world can be dealt with easily. If you average the age of all of the adults back in that time period, the average Age of Death was something like 68 if i remember that stats correctly. Only about 10 years less than what it is today.
Life expectancy was so low because most people died before the age of 10 which lowered the average. Most people who lived to the age of 11 ended up living to 70-80
So the Templars are gone, Evie kills Jack the Ripper, Jacob lost an eye, Evie probably died of old age and Jacob probably got ran over because he didn't see a carriage coming.
You seem to misunderstand what life expectancy means. Life expectancy has been low historically mainly because of child mortality and sickness and injuries that couldn't be cured. Age 40-50 wasn't considered "old" in Victorian times. If you stayed healthy you could become as old as you can today.
Nostalgia 2 Incest was seen as detestable going back to the Ancient Greeks lol. Helenistic people hated the Ptolemaic Era's repeated inbreeding of the Pharaohs.
As the video stated it’s not unheard of for people to exceed their life expectancy, there’s an irl example, a sir Samual J Seymour was five years old when he witnessed the assassination of President Lincoln. Mister Seymour would live long enough to end up on the 1950’s game show “I’ve got a Secret,” where contestants had to guess who he was and what was special about him. He was 96 when he died in 1956. He would be about 20 years younger than the Frye twins, but still it’s incredible just how long this man lived, and not only did he witness the President’s assassination, but he would have also lived through two world wars, the invention of the automobile, the airplane, and the television no less.
Wait, if Lydia was born only 7 years after the event of the Jck the Ripper, that means Jacob's son had to be alive and relatively old during the DLC timeframe. One would expect he would make appearence...
Average life span includes child mortality, which was horrendous in the western world until roughtly the nineteen fifties. Normally, after you passed your the th yeat of life, you could expect to live quite a bit past that. An average life span of 45 did NOT mean you croaked right around that age.
every single video, he repeats stuff over and over again to the point of being redundant..the video could've been like 3 mins. Good points, but you don't have to keep repeating "...and they far exceeded their life expectancy" multiple times. I feel like i'm accidentally playing the video back from a previous time in the video. If you don't repeat yourself, the video would've been to the point and like 3 mins long...repeating..repeating...
A thing to note about life expectancy of those times (and earlier on). One of the major factors of the vast difference between our life expectancy and the life expectancy of centuries past was due to infant mortality. One of the major breakthroughs in lowering the infant mortality rate was the advent of washing one's hands, and before this, doctors would often handle dead bodies and deliver babies without washing their hands, making lots and lots of babies sick. The image of people keeling over at the ripe age of 35 or so from days gone by looks very silly with this context in mind.
They probably did die of old age, but I believe they could have been killed by some rank hungry, young templar. I can see them being pretty famous to the English templars, they would still be an achievement to kill, even if old
FYI: the life expectancy in the period was not that far off from modern day. The cause of low average life span you mention is childhood mortality which brings down the average. If you discount deaths under the age of ten, the average lifespan shoots up to about 70.
Life expectancy was so low back then due to deaths to infants Once people made it out of childhood back then they lived to around the same age as people did today maybe a little less but not 40 years old
Kinda felt bad that throughout the game I switched roles using evie slaughtering blighters and guards whild using jacob stealthily because of fucking optionals
If syndicate's story was focused on Jack the ripper's betrayal and the Frye twins were more mature I would've liked it much more. (sorry for my English)
They were looking for their sibling: French Frye.

Altair lived until over 90...in the medieval time.

my theory is that altair learned a technique to prolong his life

The reason why it is so low is because of the infant mortality rate begin incredibly high compared to now. If you got past the first five years of your life as a child, you would probably be just fine and live to 50-80 depending on what happened to you.
Does the Fry twins have any relation to Desmond Miles ancestors?
As pretty much every main Assassin in all the games are ancestors to Miles.
Evie looks WAAAAAY older in the DLC even though it takes place 15 years later than the main story. Jacob looks 1-2 years older in the DLC. I guess Jacob cares more about how he looks XD

The comment section here is childish.. I guess its too late for people to grow up
Raeyne Jaymeson nyees quite
Just to be specific. WW1 simulation events happen in 1916 (that's mentioned in the game). Therefore the last year we know they were still alive is that year. Also, Britain was never invaded during the wars, and almost all raids were on strategic locations (factories and big cities), so I don't think they died during WW1.
Syndicate wasn't a bad game; wasn't a great game. It was okay with nothing really special going on other than being able to switch between assassins.
Origins though 😍
@@melissaan1642 i know right
Uhh Origins is so fucking phenomenal and perfect I swear! 😍
Carnotaurus 4774 the gold edition of origins is on sale for like $15 I think. Is it worth the buy? What are its pros and cons
Alexander Romero Yes it’s worth it. The pros are you get all the DLCs with the Season Pass for free and the cons are that you automatically get gear packs that you either will like or not and the weapons will become useless in the future because you will be able to use legendary weapons.
They are survived to this day by their great great grand nephew, Stephen.
What happened to Henry Green and Evie Frye? If I’m not mistaken doesn’t Henry’s blood continue down in Assassin’s Creed: Brahman
Would’ve been sick if by the time of Jack the Ripper, Jacob had moved into the Kenway mansion and re-established it as the headquarters of the assassins in London
They couldn't die because of Teplars, the Assasins had destroyed Templars and they had enough so they started to train Police and the problem that appeared is Jack the Ripper, but good thinking. EDIT: they didn't have enough, the Templars gived up and there was a lot of crimes so they started to train special Police forces and Inspectors.
People are forgetting that the assassins are in top shape and usually live afar from main cities so chances of them getting sick are low, they also know all kinds of secrets...
They are actually still alive to this very day.
They would’ve been 174 by now I think there dead already
I like to think that Jacob Frye played a more key role after the events of syndicate he even play a small role in assisting the assassin's in the franco-prussian war (which I think would be a good setting in Assassin's Creed and he not only had a granddaughter he also had a grandson who actually fought the ww1 (also a good idea of an assassin's creed game)
I feel like I am the only one feeling sad for them... I just lost my favourite assassins. If you think Ezio is the best, if you think Bayek is the best, does not matter, they were all assassins.
There’s nothing to be sad about they lived happy lives and died because everybody dies anyways
@@Mohamadtheman not all assassins die happy…
AC: Syndicate didn't come out by the time this video released, but that game shows that the artifacts can not only make you live longer, but make you literally immortal, and they did have contact with an artifact in the game, one that's capable of healing and regenerating, so given how powerful the artifacts have proven to be through the entire series I think it's very capable that they lived for way longer than 40 or even 70, even if their time with the Shroud of Even was limited
This video was two years after syndicate what are you talking about ?
I think you keep equating average life expectancy with average age of death. Most people that lived well in to their middle aged years could easily live well beyond that too. The child death rate was very high due to a number of illnesses that killed children, that in the modern world can be dealt with easily. If you average the age of all of the adults back in that time period, the average Age of Death was something like 68 if i remember that stats correctly. Only about 10 years less than what it is today.
Idk if this was factored, but surviving after childhood significantly increased life expectancy
I'm not sure if it says this in the game but Henry greens real name is jayadeep Mir
I know that hahaha
Brandon Melhem it’s not mentioned in the game from what I can tell but it is explained in detail in the book underworld.
Well articulated and explained. Thanks for the info
The Frye’s need more games or games for the other Frye’s and who would look after the rooks
Life expectancy was so low because most people died before the age of 10 which lowered the average. Most people who lived to the age of 11 ended up living to 70-80
I’d like a sequel to this game
So the Templars are gone,
Evie kills Jack the Ripper, Jacob lost an eye, Evie probably died of old age and Jacob probably got ran over because he didn't see a carriage coming.
I reckon a 1st world war assassins creed game would be good you could play as some male assassin character or Lydia frye
Idk why people hate on the game it’s my favourite and I like it even more because Jacob STAYED in London to “rebuild” the brotherhood
Lol the end of the video 😂
You seem to misunderstand what life expectancy means. Life expectancy has been low historically mainly because of child mortality and sickness and injuries that couldn't be cured. Age 40-50 wasn't considered "old" in Victorian times. If you stayed healthy you could become as old as you can today.
Cause Jacob and Evie lived so long
Could it mean...
SEQUAL
And Jacob being more mature
Assassin's Creed never had a returning main character since Revelations, so no, but they were rather fun.
i feel so cool to have been born in the century where Jacob and Evie where still alive
What happened to the Frye Twins? AIDS. aids happened
Nice Hot Spicy Meat they fucked
Nostalgia 2 Incest was seen as detestable going back to the Ancient Greeks lol. Helenistic people hated the Ptolemaic Era's repeated inbreeding of the Pharaohs.
As the video stated it’s not unheard of for people to exceed their life expectancy, there’s an irl example, a sir Samual J Seymour was five years old when he witnessed the assassination of President Lincoln. Mister Seymour would live long enough to end up on the 1950’s game show “I’ve got a Secret,” where contestants had to guess who he was and what was special about him. He was 96 when he died in 1956. He would be about 20 years younger than the Frye twins, but still it’s incredible just how long this man lived, and not only did he witness the President’s assassination, but he would have also lived through two world wars, the invention of the automobile, the airplane, and the television no less.
i love this game lol the story is so good
Now, they will be back since Syndicate is free from EGS from Feb 21 - 28
I can't believe Jacob is dead
Wait, what? Don't ruin my life now....
he's not dead
かぜKage JisooFromBlackpinkIsYourMom I thought Jack the Ripper killed him
@@justanobodyonyoutube3580 no he was found by Evie alive but very wounded. but he lived.
@@justanobodyonyoutube3580 in the book he died thw dlc was to give you an alternative ending
This is the best vid you've made this week
I wonder if Henry Green and Evie Frye had children
Communist.
Arsuf judging by what was given to us in the jack the ripper dlc apparently not
It’s good to know that Jacob is still alive I hope that one day we might have a sequel but I still don’t know sequels are very really made by Ubisoft
like if excited for assassin's creed empire.
Walsh U mean AC Origins
Keks probs 3 months ago they havent really revealed the name coz it was either Empire or Origins... so he couldnt have known at the time
Walsh AC Origins now
Nostalgia 2 Yeah, you're right
Origins is de wey my bruddha
19 century life expectancy was highly inflated because of infancy mortality, if you survived infancy, it was very common to live to 75 years
I'm pretty they must have died during the Spanish flu outbreak due to its high mortality rate
Wait, if Lydia was born only 7 years after the event of the Jck the Ripper, that means Jacob's son had to be alive and relatively old during the DLC timeframe. One would expect he would make appearence...
make a what happened to aveline theory
Hey greenie
Average life span includes child mortality, which was horrendous in the western world until roughtly the nineteen fifties. Normally, after you passed your the th yeat of life, you could expect to live quite a bit past that.
An average life span of 45 did NOT mean you croaked right around that age.
every single video, he repeats stuff over and over again to the point of being redundant..the video could've been like 3 mins. Good points, but you don't have to keep repeating "...and they far exceeded their life expectancy" multiple times. I feel like i'm accidentally playing the video back from a previous time in the video. If you don't repeat yourself, the video would've been to the point and like 3 mins long...repeating..repeating...
Jonathan To Stop repeating yourself :)
I agree with you, but you also repeated yourself in this comment a couple times lol
Jamin Elvers I believe that's the whole point of the comment, describing its redundancy.
A thing to note about life expectancy of those times (and earlier on). One of the major factors of the vast difference between our life expectancy and the life expectancy of centuries past was due to infant mortality. One of the major breakthroughs in lowering the infant mortality rate was the advent of washing one's hands, and before this, doctors would often handle dead bodies and deliver babies without washing their hands, making lots and lots of babies sick.
The image of people keeling over at the ripe age of 35 or so from days gone by looks very silly with this context in mind.
I thought I was the only one that shot rooks for fun
They both died around 1932 they got assassinated by a yet unkown assassin. Their death has been planned for a long time.
I think the Fryes were killed by templars
Probably not, they were alive and pretty old by the time of WW1 they probably died of old age
They probably did die of old age, but I believe they could have been killed by some rank hungry, young templar. I can see them being pretty famous to the English templars, they would still be an achievement to kill, even if old
its WW1, Aint no Templar got time for that.
AbsoluteHunter
But Starrick(How the fuck does one spell that) died, the Templars probably died with him.
Nah there were a few Templars left in London to take care of in the Queen Victoria missions and the Last Maharaja Mission Pack.
FYI: the life expectancy in the period was not that far off from modern day. The cause of low average life span you mention is childhood mortality which brings down the average. If you discount deaths under the age of ten, the average lifespan shoots up to about 70.
I wasn't first :(((
The Creed I was
Pneis
Thank you for making these?
Next video "what happened to the Serbian AC community"
What
Hold on Apparently Jacob trained Lydia but Lydia was born in 1890’s and Jacob died from Jack the Ripper in 1888 so I’m confused lmao 😂
Jacob didn't die in Jack the Ripper, you can see him open his eyes and mouth after you defeat Jack
Jacob died in 1932
ubisoft needs to have conclusions
I would have loved to see Henry Green get his own game
And you wonder why your commnet has zero likes
@@Seph2Tuff actually I don’t care, this comment is a year old. But thanks for making it relevant again.
@@Seph2Tuff I mean you got the attention you wamted from him
@@candi6341 lol true and i got 3 likes while he has 0
Life expectancy in the middle ages was like 30 years old:
Altair: lives to 92 years old
My biggest question is if the frye twins knew were the shroud is why didn't retrieve it so they could actually do something in ww1
I'd say they lived at least to the early 1930s putting them in their early to mid 80s.
What's your take on the fact that we can play as both Jacob and Evie, giving that you can only access ancestral memories? (Until Origins that is)
Life expectancy was so low back then due to deaths to infants
Once people made it out of childhood back then they lived to around the same age as people did today maybe a little less but not 40 years old
Kinda felt bad that throughout the game I switched roles using evie slaughtering blighters and guards whild using jacob stealthily because of fucking optionals
Who want these kind of assassins creed games?
Assassins Creed: Wild West
Assassins Creed: WW2
Pick one.
Fun fact:evie is 4 minutes old and that means jacob is the young one
Why is this not in the lore playlist i have no idea
i really like your content bro about the ac ideas and etc. i subbed, hope for more great content bro
I can see Fizhy's point about the Shroud of Eden and the Twins
they may have lived further than that, Altair lived until is 100s
[Originally made by Yazza Yap] They invented the Fryes Electronics Store and Went out to find They're Brother French Frye!!!
If syndicate's story was focused on Jack the ripper's betrayal and the Frye twins were more mature I would've liked it much more.
(sorry for my English)
