Ngl I love Maria. I've been singing West Side Story all day because of her 🤣 P.S. Do I watch Lineage before or after AC2?
After
I would say watch it before as it shows a story and what to come in the game but it’s your community choice
Can't wait for the other games
Before, it is a prologue to introduce the context of Ezio's story
I suppose before is fine. It doesn't exactly spoil much or anything of the game (I think)
This game was written by Darby McDevitt. One of my favorite writers on the AC franchise. One of his greatest strengths is character writing and banter, as you saw with Altair and Maria.
Aka everyone’s favorite writer
He didn't kill Maria the first time he saw her because she was not his target not because she is a woman. He says so himself, he was only there to kill Robert De Sable.
I HIGHLY recommend watching Assassins Creed Lineage too. It's about a 30 min film and it uses real actors. It's pretty damn good. Technically it comes before AC2 but I feel like it's kind of just It's own thing that you can watch whenever
I agree with this but I feel like it slightly spoils some of the important discoveries in the first few hours of AC2. Not huge spoilers, it just means that you know more than Ezio does as he discovers what's going on. I feel like the game flows better if you discover everything with Ezio
@@eatmyshamrock yeah it really doesn't matter tho. I think any way you piece it together it still comes off interesting and valuable
I'd say wait till after because it can technically be spoilery with introducing main villain and the first real twist of the game
Nah it should be watched after AC2. Has a lot of plots and it expects you to already have played the game.
Mad props for going out of your way to react to this Meg, a lot of people overlook Bloodlines so thanks for acknowledging it!
We all know she is going to love Ezio lol
especially with something she’s said before !! hits really hard for ezio
This is Altair's more 'athentic' voice. He was supposed to have a Syrian accent in the first game, but they thought the VO's normal voice sounded more intimidating. Desmond also references his lack of accent and they chalk it up to the Animus translation.
To explain the voice change, the Animus in the first assassin's creed had Desmond's voice because it was built by the modern Templars which didn't care about immersion they only cared about the location of the apple of eden, Altair is from the middle East afterall, I doubt he'd sound American.
He does appear in a later game briefly and it's so awesome
It wasn't Desmond's voice.
@@Zuernaxashyr typical ac1 defenders. man... they are too cringe
It wasn't Desmond voice, but it was from the same prospective, so it sound American like Desmond
@@Wioth typical no lifer gamer, it's a game dude, don't get so testy
He was voiced by Phillips Shahbaz who can speak in middle eastern accent as he's of Iranian descent but he was asked by the devs to "drop the accent."
I think main reason why they switched to Ezio was beause Altairs story is done at this point. He went from arrogant killer to humble pursuer of knowledge with mindset that I would describe with quote from Socrates: "I know that I know nothing." Also, they wanted to explore new time period. I have never played Bloodlines, so this new to me too. I knew about Maria, but I thought her transition from spared templar to love interest was abrupt. Now when I have seen this it makes much more sense. Looking forward to your AC2 playthrough
I feel good knowing I'm the reason you reacted to this and Lineage😀
Oh, and you mentioned that you would like to read Altair's Codex, well you can! Its called The Codex. It can be read online, or in AC2.
Oh wait Barnabas, Markos did you remember those names??
Cool that you checked out Bloodlines as well. It's not that common that people give it a look. It contains some very good lore and background for the series as a whole. I have to agree with others about lineage, it may be good to take a loot at it before AC2 ✌️
After reading @Zhivko Yakimov 's comment I have to agree that it may be best if you check Lineage out after the prologue.
There are also Assassin's Creed books and comics! Since you love Altair so much, I'd recommend you the book "The Secret Crusade", it's ALL about Altair! Although technically you should read it after or right before playing Assassin's Creed: Revelations, as it briefly ties into that and may spoil things otherwise.
YESS !! i was waiting for this im so excited for AC2 istg. i’m so nervous in anticipation, and i love altaïr and maria sm. also i’ve seen people saying to watch ac2 lineage and id maybe recommend to watch it after you get a few chapters in, it made more sense to me there but tbh either way is okay !! tysm for the video meg 💕
54:24 he only said east because that's what Maria said at 53:22. I just find that extremely cute
If you're curious about reading Altaïr's journal entries... just keep an eye out for a certain type of collectible in Assassin's Creed 2. It will play a vital role in the game. 😉
One of the reasons ezio is more popular is the fact that he got a whole trilogy (and a Nintendo DS game), and two short animated films that allowed him to be fleshed out, explore aspects of his character arc something no other protagonist really got. It's one of the few criticisms of the series I have. Ubisoft is so excited to show us different stories and time periods, that we never get as much time to bond with the protagonists as we did with ezio.
100%, the franchise should have started with an Altair trilogy. Instead we got phones games and comic books so we need to go out of our way to get more Altair.
They had a good one in Bayek but not even then, instead we got the shallow husk that is Odyssey.
That’s the one thing I wish they didn’t do, giving Ezio 3 games kinda spoiled everyone for the future, most people don’t like any of the other protags except a few, and it’s cause I think their story wasn’t as flashed out so they don’t think they are written as well
Now watch AC Lineage then play Assassin's Creed 2.
Please watch Assassin’s Creed Lineage before playing the 2nd game.
watch AC: Lineage before playing AC2- I feel like you will have a deeper connection to the characters
also it doesnt really spoil the game
It spoils something minor that it's revelead (and it's kinda predicable, they) like 20 mins. (if that) into the game. She should definetly watch it before playing AC II.
Ubisoft released it before AC II's release to hype-up the game, so it's clearly meant to be seen as a prologue to the game.
You're going to love Lineage and AC2. I look forward to seeing your reaction to them
Barnabas and Markos, eh? It all makes sense now ... :) Unfortunately, Meg won't understand what I am talking about until she comes down to Odyssey, whenever that is ...
Haha I never made that connection
Now that you finished AC 1, maybe you should rewatch the AC: Revelations trailer...might be surprised by what you see...?
“Wait… does that mean they’re WORKING together?!? Or like together-together?!?”
To quote Vidic: “Now THAT would be telling!” Continue on your journey. All answers will come in the fullness of time. Cannot wait for Lineage and the start of ACII. A long story so worth telling, as is all AC.
Yes, ALL AC games, I will die on that hill.
I won’t say anything, but my goodness are you gonna be in tears by AC Revelations 😅
They could technically remake this to the current consoles we never got that much Altair games like Ezio had, it could be cool NGL.
Yep there is more extra Altair in Assassin's Creed: Reveletions... another masterpiece.
Hello Meg and welcome back to AC. Back then, Bloodlines was really something special on the PSP, not because of the graphics, of course, but because of the Story, because you learned how the only true assassin Altair continued. It wasn't that great to play on the PSP of course because since the PSP has a few fewer Buttons the controls have been completely changed which was a bit annoying at times and the eagle eye has even been taken out. Well, but in the End I'm glad that you watched the cutscenes and saw the story of Altair and Maria and how it went on with them. Now I'm looking forward to the next AC adventure with you and I'm curious how you like it.
Until then I wish you a nice Tuesday, have fun and lovely Greetings to you and your two little Cuties
Of course I don't want to give anything away, but I can tell you that it wasn't the last time you saw Altair and Maria, but everything else will come with Time. And yes, you're absolutely right. Altair would have deserved more (from my point of view) if there had been more Games with him.
@@Lithenius Because she has already seen the trailers where a scene is shown where both appear and when you look at the cover of the game you see both characters as well!!!
@@Lithenius I didn't see my sentence as a spoiler either, apart from that Meghan is an intelligent woman and I'm sure if she had seen anything resembling a spoiler, she or one of her mods would have blocked my comment or others of the kind, which I can understand. And believe me, I hate spoilers of any kind. And also the constant "you have to, you can do it, talk to him, go there, go up there,... it's a shame that some people are just so impatient.
I m very keen to watch Assassin's creed 2 when you start and play Meg !
Hi, Meg! I have to say, if you love the games you'd also love the books by Oliver Bowden that recount areas of the games. Secret Crusade expand upon Altair's life, and Forsaken is perfect to add to Assassin's Creed III when you get there. Oliver Bowden is great at writing and making history come alive on the page, and he writes the characters so well. Some of the later books really do expand upon the game content rather than simply recount it and offer a far fuller story. Bowden not only adds in pieces about Altair's childhood in Secret Crusade, but also recounts and fleshes out Assassin's Creed I, Bloodlines, and later years of Altair's life. It comes fourth in the book series after Revelations, but the first three are also 100% worth the read. It's a great book series and I think you'd like it as it provides greater nuance to the characters you so enjoy playing in this game series. I'm happy to see you've started Brotherhood, and can't wait for you to get to Revelations!!!
I am so hype to see you play AC2 and you going to love Ezio, music, story and much more. Also a little heads up with combat. It’s way smoother than AC combat. 😌
I found combat worse in 2
@Chad Benjamin
won’t judge you as it’s your opinion 😌
Altair is not related to Ezio, since you mentioned the whole descendant thing, you will learn more about Altair in future titles, the games have a common theme of interconnected protagonist or at the very least they mention old protagonist, kind of like tie ins or Easter eggs for fans.
I'm really happy you're completely following the AC lore. Before you play AC2 watch Assassin's Creed Lineage
I would DEFINITELY watch Lineage before ACII
34:49 well you're in luck.
AC 2 had Ezio collect Altair's codex journal and we can read all 30 pages of it
EDIT: 55:43 wait untill you play AC Revelations
There is another Assassin's Creed game with Altair. Altair's Chronicles on the DS and was later ported on Android and iOS. Takes place a year before AC1.
Since she seems to like the romance stuff, I have suggested that she reads the plot summary for Altair's Chronicles and then to read the wiki page for Adha. She should do it on her free time though. She could read it during a stream I guess and then upload that part as a RUclips video if she wants.
34:00, well in the 11th century women weren’t really involved in paid important jobs so for Altair to see Robert De Sable was not the there when he attempted to assassinate and see instead a woman. Extremely uncommon to see, so I guess Altair was not as unprepared for that unexpected outcome when he encounters the Oracle.
Also Maria in AC1 was not his target, the Oracle in AC Bloodlines was his target.
You should watch Assassin's Creed lineage movie before jump into Assassin's Creed 2 .
*WOW Currently Playing(finishing) it on a mobile device ngl story is really good.I just did the Oracle and Shalim Quest today. But as its an old game controls are a bit outdated. Good Story Tho.*
"i hope informants have personalities in AC2"
Oh boy just you wait.
Aaah... You had a PSP too? It was my first electronic device purchased for gaming purposes ever... Such an underrated handheld. I used it all the time. T_T
Watch ac 2 short film before playing the game, its prequel to the game
Amazing video! Never played this before so it was fun experiencing this story for the first time and made me appreciate the Altair even more (if that was even possible).
I feel like Lineage should not be watched right before AC2 as it may spoil some mystery from the beginning of the main game. Maybe after or in the middle of the playthrough would be better.
Remember guys, this is Meg's first time through this series so while we know a lot about the overall story, everything is new to her.
As I'm sitting here listening to these names and wondering why they sound so familiar I did a search of them. They were reused names in AC Odyssey lol
I'm calling it now, Revelations is going to be her favourite game in the series
34:17 I would agree with that, but that wasn’t remotely the reason he didn’t kill her, at least as far as he expressed. He let her go because she wasn’t his target, simple as that. If there was any other reason, he didn’t say it.
Man if they ever remake 1 this is included, but obviously Ubisoft would never
I mean show many an assassin who isn't sassy. Frankly you can't spell assassin without sass so...
It's my first comment here, nice loving all your playthroughs and I'm so happy you're really diving in AC, not just playing few biggest titles. Bloodlines wasn't really good gameplay wise, but the story is surprisingly well written
Fun fact since I don't know if you've heard it, but Corey May, the main writer of ACII & III (also one of the writers of the rest of Ezio's trilogy and Syndicate) was also one of the writers of Batman Arkham Origins! I just remembered it and found it funny lmao
Excited for rest of your journey, continuing with the game because of which I ended up studying Italian
Hello Meg. I really hope you see this, cause I want to tell you about some side quests you should do in Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood to have the best experience possible.
First, in AC2, there will be Assassin's tombs, you'll need to do only 1 in order to finish the game, the other 5 are not required, however, I recomend you doing them before the final mission of the game, so you get something that ties in better visually with the next game. It's not story related, but it will tie in visually.
Second, are the glyphs, for both AC2 and Brotherhood. You'll only need to do 1 in AC2, the rest is opitional, but I higly sujest that you do them before going to the next game, for both AC2 and AC Brotherhood. They're quite hard to do by yourself, cause they don't appear on the map and have very hard puzzles, but there are guides on the internet that make them pretty easy, and they expand a lot on the Assassin's Creed lore, and will also give you knowledge that will make something that will happen in one of the games feel even better; remember, these glyphs are both in AC2 and AC Brotherhood, each game having different stuff to learn when doing these. Please, If you read this, try to remember these and do these side missions, I promisse they'll be worth it
By glyphs you mean "The Truth"?
@@laddanerskit3199 yeah, these ones. Idk If Glyphs are the actual name of them, that's how I remember them being called for some reason
Altaïr's voice is more elusive than the same Apple of Eden.
Altair is not the creed but one of the many great Assassins
One last thing to react to before AC2 is linage, it follows Ezios father.
@Narkomancers why between ac2 and brotherhood it takes place before ac2
@@Lithenius finally someone with good judgement. Don't watch lineage before ac2 just because it's a prequel doesn't mean it has to be seen before
Umm... playing RDR 2 before playing RDR 1 doesn't ruin the experience in the slightest, young feller.
@@b.u.l.1734 ubissoft also released ac rogue and ac unity the same day. I played unity first even if rogue is a prequel of unity and the ending of rogue was mindblowing because I played unity first (I won't spoil anything) soooo to sum up it depends lol. But seriously in that case it is better to discover everything through the eyes of ezio : meaning playing AC2 first then lineage
Hi meg! You said you're playing through all the games. Does this mean all the side ones as well? As a fan of the series (and you as well), I can't wait to see you play through just the main games. Personally, I'm okay with the side games being these cutscene compilation reactions like this because, in my opinion, the main games are the bread and butter of the franchise.
She's probably gonna play through liberations and that's about it for spin offs. Only reason she didn't play bloodlines as well is due to her not having a psp
Is AC2 gonna be streamed or recorded?
Recorded!
It's not the last of Altair.
Great reaction, I'm glad you enjoyed the story, I think it's really great, I love this more mature and pihlosopher Altair :) I'm afraid Altair and Maria are just travel companions, I understand why you ship them, but their future is their business only, who knows what their future is made of ^^ I can't wait for your next step in the franchise :)
He didnt kill Maria at first because she wasnt his target but it is true during this time period women definitely werent allowed to participate in these kinds of things anyways so its more likely that Altair has barely or never had to assassinate women because there were none to even do it to. Especially after Bouchard explained that women werent even allowed to be Templars at all either at this time.
There are no women on the assassin side either at that time. If we are talking about the real-world assassin's it probably was a mixture of things most notably culture I'm assuming.
Regardless, if I were to for some reason make a unit of sorts for fighting, warfare and thing like that I would make it an all male unit as well. If the reason is not obvious then we need to use the animus to sync to reality.
High props for even reacting to the less mainline games. You're gonna love Ezio
If you want to play this game, you could use a PSP emulator. As for the AC Bloodlines ROM, I’ll leave that up to you on how to obtain it lol
Am new to your channel and am i currently doing the same as you going though the AC games and i am on AC3 i would defo watch Lineage before playing AC2. Like i said am new to your channel but your quickly becoming one of my favorites and not just for the AC stuff am actually considering JOING which is something i don't do lol keep up the good work.
The worst part of my day was accidentally clicking dislike. I love how you're committed to the story of AC and throwing yourself in there. Can't wait for the rest of the series, AC II and Brotherhood are my favorites!
Edit: if you like reading, the whole story, including Bloodlines, is very well written in book form and well worth the read imho!
If you are going to play The Ezio Collection, it has lineage in it. But if you're going to play the Ezio games separately then watch lineage first.
Altair comes back in AC Revelations. You see a lot of important moments in his later life.
You gotta play ac2
I'm excited to see you play Assasin's Creed 2, it's one of my favourite games
There's a Mobile/DS game prequel about Altair: It is called Assassin's Creed Altair Chronicles, but it doesn't really gives that much depth to him as bloodlines does
Familly guy is the best show ever for me. None can't change my mind
Can't believe you watched this
Amazing!
I remember getting the assassins creed psp bundle pack that came with this game. Good times
Will yea be releasing the first episode of ac2 today or tomorrow?
I bought this game on PSP back when it came out, but it seems like I forgot most of it 😅. I'm glad it was recommended before AC2. Thanks for the video Meg!
I have never seen this before. I loved it. And seeing your reactions was great
All I'll say is that Altair and his legacy is still super important in ezio's games. You'll see it once you'll see it.
It’s almost time for Claudia to look in the book.
If I'm not mistaken, Maria is also the actor that voices the beggar woman.
YAYYYY..!!! I am so happy u are watching this. Excited for next AC...❣❣❣
Meg what days do you stream on twitch? 💓
I still to this day don't understand why they did a spin-off of it instead of dlc or part of the main game... If they'll do a remake of the og AC I hope they'll include it
The psp was a novelty back then and ubisoft wanted to cash in on that
When you will play the Ac revelations you will know everything !
Finally, we move on with Assassin's Creed ❤️
They did actually change altair's voice actor. He did altair's voice in bloodlines and in a later game.
Also fun fact: assassin's creed was originally going to be a ps2 game, and the location of this game(cyprus) was going to be in there. So you can see this game as sort of an alternate universe where ac1 came out on the ps2.
@@b.u.l.1734 oh really? They sounded pretty similar so i kinda assumed they were the same lmao
@@b.u.l.1734 not to mention the Mobile Version of Altaïr's Chronicles is voice acted, so he has 4 VAs
cant wait for the ac2
So what I’ve read, it’s the same voice actor, but he decided to throw in an accent.
Omg I kinda love that 😂
As someone else said Altaïr has a different VA in every game he's in, but the AC1 actor did audition and get the role with an Arabic accent. When it came time to record the actual game, they told him to use an American Accent. I heard that the reason for this was that Ubi was afraid of releasing a game with an Arabic protagonist who kills people for a living only a few years after the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. I dont know how true that is though.
@@natestadler2352 I don’t know what I’ve read it’s the same actor, but they did change actors for revelations.
Ok my apologies I read it was an different voice actor.
@@natestadler2352 omg that's really sad about the stigma around 9/11 and the Arabic accent. I'm glad they switched back for this game at least. The voice made more sense.
"Shut up meg" 🏃💨🏃💨🤭
I still have my psp
Play Assassin's Creed 2. amazing game
Just finished this on my PS Vita. Love this game ♥
