Mate, you are not a "video game storyteller." You ARE a storyteller, period. Don't limit yourself to one area. Narrate Breaking Bad, GoT, LotR, and maybe even One Piece I'd watch it. You sum up and tell it like nobody else. I hope your channel blows up.
Lucy was planted at abstergo by William Miles on a deep cover mission. Vidic knew right from the start that she was an assassin. Vidic turned her and she became a double agent. In short the reason why Lucy turned was because she felt that William had abandoned her as she had been on her own for so long.
@@robbyrhodes4572 there's a lot of story lines they abandoned, the eve stuff for example. Also to this day I'm annoyed that they finished the juno stuff in a comic instead of the games.
The story of Desmond, and Ezio in particular have been monumental to my life. I had recently revisited the franchise in release order from the first app the way to AC III. The impact this series had on my life is monumental, firstly, the layers of lore and depth in the world building are just mind blowing to me. And secondly, the way I got to watch those three assassins grow and change and live their lives and see their perspective on the war was just amazing. I have nothing but gratitude and love for this franchise, as silly as it may sound, it has made me the person I am today. And it holds a special place in my heart
binging this instantly, AC1 & 2 are probably the most forming games of my youth, I also have just rerun all of the games till origins. so thanks for making this, its a blast so far (roughly 30mins in)

No, I think Ubisoft ruined the franchise by neglecting the modern day portion of the story and making it incomprehensible whenever they did include it.
Ubisoft ruined this franchise. I've played almost every AC that's come out on the main consoles and Unity was a breaking point for most of the old fans. Their commitment to yearly releases did the most damage. Instead of making us wait for games and polishing them, they decided to be greedy. Ive played the three newer games too and while they're fun and big they try to do way too much and origins is really the only one I would say is close to an actual AC game
I'm surprised anyone thinks of him as underrated, I fell off of AC after 5-6 games because yes, Ubi ruined it. But I always thought that everyone understood that Desmond was the single best character arc. Hopefully AAA Studios will go back to what Rockstar has always done with GTA. Release games when you have something amazing, not because the last one was a year ago..
I hate the modern day stuff because it became irrelevant background noise after the first game. Ezio and the past basically stole the show and when you would have to leave the Animus it would break the flow and that was the main issue. The modern day stuff always broke the flow of the story like waking up from a good dream you were invested in.
Man! Thanks so much! Black flag coming in July. If you email me… I’ll let you watch right now with a link… as a thank you! Check out email In description.
Somebody in Ubisoft REALLY fucked up killiny off Desmond….. I mean, for gods sake, he’s the youngest of the oldest uninterrupted assassins blood line!…. They could have totally dragged the games out with Desmond reliving more and more and more memories, synchronizing with them and becoming the ultimate assassin with super human skill and alien artifacts…. They could have 100% just taken the game far into the future and had him running around futuristic cities AC style. They fucked up big time…. Almost as bad then squandering their potential games by establishing the origin of the assassins as something so damn recent….
I've only played AC4 but man, the way you told the whole story made me feel like i played every AC series of Desmond. I am currently sick when i was watching this, so thank you very letting me experience the game and the lore. Awesome explanation and narration, bud! Great job!
AC2 was so good. What a storyline. Having Ezio's sister work the books for years so that she had genuine experience to run the brothel was so smart, games just arent made the same anymore. Really would've loved to see Desmond take on the mission in modern times, but at the same time i get why they didnt.
@@Jamallo369 Yeah it's a really sad state of affairs. Microtransactions are killing games. Kids these days will never understand the excitement of purchasing a game, then rigorously leafing through the gaming manual on the way home to play it...such simpler times
Im just saying there wasnt any templar that went "hey you know desmond? The guy whose DNA we have on file and know he has genetic connections to ezio well we cant find him...think he might have gone to the family house of one of his ancestors? Think we should go check maybe?"
"Rescuing princesses from castles now?" and "It's a me! Mario!" are just two of many (I believe) references to that slightly popular Nintendo franchise.
I tend to put on long videos of my favorite games / topics to listen to when I go to bed, and I have to admit I actually got so invested in this video when I started it yesterday. Your narration and way with words is very pleasant to listen to!
Just wanted to say that your videos are such an inspiration! I started watching a few days ago after I started replaying AC3. The amount of detail and effort you put in to these videos are insane. I've had writers block on my own Max Payne related project for months now. Seeing this has really got me wanting to work on it again and finally get it finished. These videos are absolutely amazing and well made. You can tell how much love and care went in to this. Thanks so much for all your work. Looking forward to seeing this series continue!
I love this informative documentary style of art you displayed here! Doing this about video games is great, let alone doing this about my favorite video game franchise itself which is awesome. It’s a great idea and you nailed it perfectly!
We need Patrice, Ismail, and Darby up in the studio to brew us an Assassin’s Creed game based on their previous releases. Because AC 1 story is 9/10 AC Origins 9.5/10 and AC Revelations and AC Valhalla 9.5/10 are golden eggs

Because of these video essays you’ve made, I dropped part of my paycheck in purchasing all the ac games available on switch…. And Unity and AC1 on PC. Thank you, but also goddammit.
This is beautifully made and very well done. I truly wish they kept the original Desmond story. They could have made it so much better than what we got.
Lol I still remember that funny bit between Ezio and Caterina when she's locked in that cell. Ezio says something like "Stay here", and she's answers: "I'm not going _anywhere_ "
I have finally played AC1-4 (Ezio Collection, Kenway(s) etc) and love them. Started on AC3 and hated it gave up. Went to play Valhalla and Odessy and loved em for hundreds of hours. Got a good deal on the Ezio collection and new work schedual allots 4 days off in a row so it was a time waster, I havent stopped playing them for the last 3 months. The old ACs had real heart poured into them, ambition they had pride. The new ACs look better and have smoother parkour, but thats it theres no love or care really slammed into it with the newer ACs. Happy I stumbled upon your video(s) a year back.
Exactly what I think, even Rogue had some amazing stuff with Otso Berg and they somehow ruined him too in Syndicate and Oddysey. Man, the feeling of subject 16 glyphs are something I really miss and of course, Desmond as the ultimate assassin... everything had more and a better world building before imo
I wish i can play this again i was young when i played this for the last time i did not play the story im gonna beat it if i get my hands on a ps3 and ac1
To this day i still don't get why back then the people didn't like Desmond, it beyond baffling. I would of fine if we did had other protagonists - like the in the comic they refuse to use for games - and just imagine an sequence where Desmond, Master Assassin, come save one of the new mc
I remember playing this game. I think it was xbox 360 and I remember it is quiet old, but it dont matter the age it is one of the best from asassins creed series. I played quet a few of these games.
Love the older AC games but my interest in the Modern Day story aspect of it died when Desmond did, yeah he went out as a hero but there was a lot more for him to do. Fuck Ubisoft for killing him off.
desmond: *well fleshed out character with known backstory* ac 4/rouge modern protag: *just some guy* ac unity and syndicate modern protag: *does not exist*
Desmond, or the biggest case of gaming blue balls, ever. We expected his last game to be like Watch Dogs, where he got to be the main Assassin, in modern times.
This is a late reply, but I noticed that too. If you're talking about Lucy, she only emulated a finger being missing as by AC2 they ceased to remove fingers for hidden blades.
Credit to Wolf for this amazing and long video. Also Credit to the AC franchise for being one of the few to make play worthy games since the ps3 days, they all haven’t been amazing but I’d throw money to them anyday.
So I rather like the ending of AC3, except for Desmond dying. I think this would have been the best possible time for them to start developing the modern world. They should have effectively “split” the franchise. Have one path that was “purely” modern, rebuilding assassin order, fighting Absergo, hunting down artifacts, trying to hunt down Juno. And then they could have also done what they did, having the Templars use the Animus and Desmond’s DNA (which I’d assume they had plenty of from his time on their custody). That way we could have the one set giving us more of the same with the past, but then the modern timeline as well.
1:50:30 are these illustrations from a real book or they self created? Or is that FMV clips from the game? I’d love a coffee table book of AC with that classic style.
My first game is brotherhood and damn i didnt knew the backstory I was playing every 3 days so when i realised the girl ceaser kissed was his sister i died laughing
Worth it😂 Assassin's creed use to be one of the best franchise and then valhala came and it was more messed up than anything else i love always will have a special heart for the series and i look forward to all the story and lore within it
Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla were all garbage with the half-assed RPG elements and quarter-assed Nemesis System ripoff. Black Flag was the last good AC game. Rogue was a bad reskin that wasted a good premise. Unity was a mess. Syndicate played like a bad parody.

Yeah the opportunity for a modern day AC was killed along with Fesmond and Lucy.
Im still so happy that Ezio, despite his adventures, finally got to love and continue his family. The story of Ezio is still, to me, peak storytelling
