Every Assassin has their own interpretation of the creed.. That's what makes the Assassin's Creed so relatable.
Well Said....
I see what you did there
@@frobro5674 what's that?
Yeah they work differently they see things differently but they unite for a cause
@@marchalmiller9736 yes I know that. That is the essence of what its means to be an Assassin.
"Kenway! In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!"
Not a speech, still great.
Boutta make me cry
This is also good
“Every man hopes to find a Chest full of gold with no owners but.. they’re as rare as an honest king”
- Ben Hornigold
@J.T.M. i like it when i hear socrates, i wish i was the student of such a great man. Perhaps he talks very much but he never talks nonsense
“A merry life and a short one” , bartholomew roberts
"You humbled me once and I took that hard lesson and I bettered myself. Die, knowing that for all of our conflict you helped make a soldier out of a scoundrel. Leave this life for a lasting peace.. Down among the dead." - *Edward Kenway to a dying El Tiburon* (AC IV Black Flag)
I love Connor's speech. The fact that he knows that he will not live to see the Assassin's succeed, that he will not live to see the Templars vanquished, but fights on anyway because he is full of hope. I love that. His conviction that the cause and ideals he fights and strives for are right are what makes him and all the Assassin's so likeable, and it exemplifies the Creed.
I'm not gonna lie, I like ac 3 because you can throw weapons, I love hurling swords at people
@@Izzy_the_moderator oh I forgot about that! The Charles Lee chase at the end took up most of my memories of AC3
What a travesty that speech wasn’t actually in the game. There were so many complaints about Connor’s character because people didn’t understand him - and this speech, as well as making the Homestead missions required would have gone such a long way.
@@BoyWonder1914 I was about to ask where's this speech is from, I would've remembered it seeing how great it is
His speech has always been my favorite the sacrifice knowing u might not live to see your journeys end but to live for the end result with no regret is truly embodied n his
Ezios last speech has never held greater meaning than it does right now
What do you mean?
@@mattiashedvik2417 He means at the time of that game...We were all misguided,roaming and whatever a teenage or a child is supposed to do...So,we never understood the meaning of it but now it means something else
Ezio in that last speech describes how we give away our freedoms too gladly, and how we never choose to follow our own path and seek out our own truths. This describes our current world perfectly which is why it has greater meaning.
@@S.II7 Ooooh right hahahahah
@@S.II7 especially now, where our freedom is taken away from us piece by piece. And no one is realising it
Can we just apreciate how he recorded all the games and animated the speeches
Thanks man!
@@vedivyanshthe brotherhood agrees with you
Hell yeah this is great nice
My favourite speech would actually be Ezio in Revelation talking directly to Desmond, that one gives me chills every time.
Seriously, imagine looking through your ancestor's memories and suddenly your ancestor just starts speaking directly to you by name and knowing where you are
the entire finale of revelations was so emotional.. from discovering altair in the library to ezio retiring to ezio talking to Desmond. 😭 😭 😭 😭
@@zeroxenos1309 not to forget Yusuf’s death, it was so painful
That was actually the first AC game I played. I replayed the rest obviously but boy was that a start for me to the series. To bad they effectively ruined the essence of AC now for this fake RPG crap
@@terrencemoldern2756 I’d say they offered more options for different kind of players, while I do agree that it doesn’t make sense for assassins to fight like some barbarians so what I did was I try my best to not use the skills and go fully stealth instead.
I have to give it to them that they’re putting effort into bringing back the original mechanics in Valhalla
Connor is so underrated. Such a great character.

Absolute legend ha
A wise mans daughter once said “whats the difference between a boat and a ship?” And The wise man said “the difference between a boat and a ship is that a ship can carry a boat but a boat can’t carry a ship” that wise man...was edward kenway-
In the end credits scene
Jennifer: But what if the ship is actually called a boat?..... Why did you just stop the ship?
Aye but had an adventure of folly
You don’t have to bring Ezio in every comment on other assassins. Ezio is a legend and it’s a fact. But we are assassins, we supposed to be a brotherhood, not to hate or compare our own kind. Plus, everyone have their own mind, culture, ways of thinking so they have their own favorite.
I like Connor Kenway, “because no one else will”.
I like Connor's seriousness
Same I also like Connor.
Kenway was the first assassin I ever played and it always stayed with me
I forgot to specify that I mean Edward Kenway from AC Black Flag 🏴☠️
@@balooterzo for me it was Altair ♥️. And he and Ezio will always have a special place in my heart. I want AC franchise to go in their old ways. New games are not AC to me. Although I haven't played it, I'm currently on Unity.
@@mr_ks_gaming Valhalla and origins is AC man don’t judge a game without playing it. Odyssey on the other hand is just a disappointment
Bayeks letter to aya in Valhalla was amazing. Ngl made me tear up. That scene at the beginning of origins is one of my favorite. It set Bayeks intentions very clearly. We know his son was killed, and now he’s hunting down everyone responsible. Plus he did it in the most badass way possible.
Arno deserves another game. He was like a younger version of Ezio
@Aaron McGill something tells me cyberpunk 2077 will suffer the same treatment
@@guythatstillusespocketwatc3145 oh most definitely will. People will ways judge the bad before the good it’s howw the mind sadly,
@@maliktisdale3634 people already say that the story is good but gameplay is bad.
I was never a big fan of unity not because of everybody else’s reason I hated the fighting it was so much harder and a little different and I kept dying and there was so much things in the map it was impossible to find where I wanted to go
younger version of.. which ezio
Conner's speech is so relatable in the real world right now. He is my favourite.

Ezio too

You could basically put any speech in here, especially from the Ezio Trilogy, AC3, 4, Unity and Origins and all of them would deserve the number one spot. To me this franchise tells some of the best stories ever written. Especially the Ezio Trilogy in my opinion.
No movie has ever made me cry. No book or game has. Except for AC Embers. Ezios last speech is the one moment in media that has made me cry. Best character ever written. Requiescat in pace mentore.
That's awesome buddy. Glad the franchise brought you so much joy. Assassin's Creed truly is special. :)
@@MantisManGaming It is. Three out of my five favourite games are ACs.

@@nadim2911 I'm sure you will one day :)
Go watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners my brother, 🤣
Ezio's speeches and Bayek and Aya's speech is my favorite speeches.
Same
Connor is one of my favourite assassins, the sad thing with him though is he's the only assassin who doesnt get a full games worth of development
Conor and Arno must wanted a sequel , villain;- Shay .....
I make my own luck Vs Give me lee
Unity was so good, but the dlc of unity “death kings” was just the best. Discovering the catacombs with my guillotine gun brings good memories back
I feel like we need a min movie or something for Shay and Conor like what there did to Ezio and what happen to him after he wanted a normal life

@@suhasop4919 aye maeyk Ma ouwn louk
Bayek and Altair are *so fucking underrated.*
Altair underrated?
@@alonnie1919 lol he's not
@@Lefy2007 Exactly 😂😂
Sorry I meant in terms of things like what he’s contributed to the Creed, and his overall philosophy. Not many people even retain what he wrote in the codexes in AC2. What made me say he’s underrated is yes, he’s loved by the AC community but unfortunately due to him not getting as much shine as Ezio (I mean, 4 games c’mon) he just got a major skip for a large part of his life in the mainstream games (outside of books and spin-offs)
I agree only with Bayek. Bayek is so underrated... Ezio and Altair (and maybe Edward) are very popular in the community.
The day I first witnessed this Bayek-Aya scene, I got goosebumps, and wondered how perfectly the Assassin Insignia's origin is displayed.
It's truly, origin of the Assassin brotherhood.
There were no assassins then(just mercenaries) , there was no typical assassin style, yet people compare it to those AC games , in which assassins were very modernised, i.e Ezio's series(No doubt it was a masterpiece) and Ac Black flag.
The parts of AC origins and odyssey, were perfect in their own story. They showed us how assassins came to exist. Comparing them to others, is pure insanity.
When I first played Origins I couldn't really get behind the motivation. But when I went and explored the world and did the side missions Bayek's character felt so trapped, all he wanted was to avenge his son, and he's constantly confronted with more and more bullshit, you can tell that him and Aya were growing apart and it tore him up. He's tragic, he's the last Medjai, a relic of a bygone past, and you can see it. He loves his land and he has to accept that it is gone. He wants revenge and he has to accept that he will never have it, he wants his love and he has to give it up for a greater purpose. And for the people who didn't feel the attachment to Khemu, just play any side mission where Bayek has to deal with a child, you can tell that he's a father to a dead son, he's kind, compassionate and it always breaks my heart to see him get sad when the kids ask if he has a son.
I think that’s why I got attached to him. I would always try to do all the side quests of an area before moving on, so I saw compassion and empathy a lot
Connor's speech on compromise is my favorite one
They maybe assassins, but they do not kill with a blind eye.
Except mario lmao
@@nayeonranghae Nice one 😂
I loved how Haytham spoke about Connor after the finishing blow. That he said he is proud of him in a way. Then he names all the noble qualities his son has. And he finished it with the sentence "I should've killed you long ago"
That is pure epicness.
Ezios speech defo moved me in a lot of ways but ezio made connors speech more understandable and relatable
Yeah I really like Connor's speech. Kind of weird that it isn't even in the game, if I am not mistaken.
@@MantisManGaming I think it’s in the remastered version g
@@jakeoakes2958 oh cool. Glad Ubisoft included it.
It's not in the remastered version I recently replied all all I got where the cut speech was was music like the original version I'm disappointed they removed it the first time around but they decided not to add it in remaster
@Hayden Long u sure? I just played my first play through the other day and I could have sworn I already saw it
I love how the pendant of Bayek created the logo for the Assassin's and I loved the whole series as well
It is a good life we lead brother. The best. May it never change.
Fratello mio
Edit- can't believe all the likes. So amazing
And may it never change us..
Requiscat in pace
Fratello mio what does it mean? I like to use italian words in real life (ofc this what I learn from ezio trillogy)
@@adamkozio5189 it means "my brother", but i think it might be better translated as "brother of mine"
@@lucabrandao5243 va bene messere :)
Ezio's speech hits hard man. Best one ever. And best Assassin ever. Others were really good too.
Ay two years later and you're still hearting comments. LEGEND.
@@kocetociparov1089 yes indeed
I love Arno's interpretation of the creed, I never understood it until now. I like how he describes it as a warning.
"Nothing is True" There is no higher power "Everything is Permitted" and so there is no higher power stopping us from pursuing any desire. And so we must be our own compasses of our fate and guide ourselves against wrongdoings and injustices.
FUCK I miss Bayek so much :'(
Hearing his voice in Valhalla literally brought tears to me.
Bayek of Siwa - we remember you!
Connor speech was probably my favorite
Wrong favorite lol
@@valtontony826 There's no wrong or right favorite, it's subjective.
@@valtontony826 are you one of those guys who hate connor for absolutely no reason?
@@BlueberryPi he is because a RUclipsr told him probably
@@sparks1792 People are so braindead, they can't make their own decision without other's help.
Assassins Creed 3 had such a deep story so many people didn't understand....
I always liked Haythem's speech about the templars in the final fight. Much of it so true almost makes me want to join the templars. I particularly liked: "Even when your kind triumphs... Still we rise again. And you know why? It is because the order is born from realization. We require no Creed. No indoctrination by desperate old men. All we need is that the world be as it is."
Personally I love unity, I enjoy Arno and how he progressed from being careless and forgetful to serious and content. I like his character a lot and I think he deserves a sequel personally
Sadly, Ubisoft will never do that. Or maybe for the best considering the franchise is completely different to other AC games.
DLC Arno is amazing.
Each and every game Assassins' Creed franchise had some of the most iconic speeches. But Ezio's speech creates an otherworldly feeling every time one hears it. These are not speeches, these are emotions.
Orgins is such a good freaking game...love it ☺️
Man Arno's development was arguably the best among all the AC games. I would like to mention Ezio but his lack of emotions in AC2 just breaks it. Arno actually felt the pain of being rejected, betrayed you can see it in his voice and face.
Arno’s story had more than “assassin good templar bad” and it sucks we didnt get more
If we’re talking about delivery, Bayek’s VA is always on point. The anger, pain, joy, and passion he portrays is just amazing
Ezios speech for me personally is one of the greatest speeches in video game history. Brought a tear to my eye when I first played the game and heard it
Bayek has many names. Bayek of siwa, "the last medjay", "The hidden one", but I'd like to call him "the first assassin". Except that technically the first assassin would be Darius but still this is when the assassins were created so that's what he should be called. Aya and Bayek: "The first Assassins"
Quick question did bayek and siwa have another child in origins if so Darrius probably descended from them
@@richardanderson6531 daruis came before
@@richardanderson6531 Darius is an ancestor of Amunet or Aya
For years I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am... with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. And when I turn around, and look at the course I've run... there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me
Edward Kenway(Ac4 bf )
Best sppech according to me
I remember when AC1 was released and after playing, I had "Laa shay'a waqui'n moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine" written in almost all my books it sounded so cool.
"When I was very young, I was foolish enough to believe that our Creed would bring an end to all these conflicts. If only I had possessed the humility to say to myself, I have seen enough for one life, I've done my part. Then again, there is no greater glory than fighting to find the truth."
―Altaïr to his son Darim during the Mongol attack on Masyaf, 1257.
My absolute favorite is Bayek. He was the first Assassin I’ve ever played, and his journey from vengeful father to founder of the brotherhood is really great to experience. Also, you get to experience where many of the Assassins’ traditions, tenets, and attributes came from. Moreover, the kindness, venerance, and integrity he shows every now and again are very admirable.
Finally, a man that was so good a being shadow that even the order he founded doesn’t know he exists is definitely up there in my book.
Idk if this would count, but Blackbeard's speech in one of the AC4 trailers is amazing. Gives me chills every time. It really emphasizes how fearsome Edward is.

Connors speech the conviction and determination of a man who's knows his purpose and accepts all sacrifice that comes with it till the end for a goal so much bigger than himself that's strength in it's purest form
Ezio still the best assassins
Altair
They all were great in their own ways
yes he is th best him and secon d is altair
I'm disappointed that I didn't get to see Edward's speech about his entire life in a nutshell towards the end of AC Black Flag
I like Shay's opening and closing speeches tied together, showing the change in his character.
and also his phrase " so many souls lost, one more hardly matters..."
Shay not a perfect person but No matter how he do the right thing.
My favourite :
"You humbled me once and I took that hard lesson and I bettered myself. Die, knowing that for all of our conflict you helped make a soldier out of a scoundrel. Leave this life for a lasting peace.. Down among the dead." - *Edward Kenway to a dying El Tiburon* (AC IV Black Flag)
Also remember they didn’t even put Connor’s speech in game, they cut it!
@@vedivyansh It was in the game files I believe.
Ezio Auditore my favourite assassin , tears followed his speech , mine did , my childhood assassin grew old and died peacefully
Connor as a whole is very underrated
Ezio and Bayek always the best and my favourite.
Bayek of Siwa- The assassin who from grief, found duty and bore the Hidden Ones.
Connor's speech was actually very neat! Strong and inspiring, like all other Assassins...
Bayek should have had a sequel more than any other character in the series
Looking forward to it
Bayeks or ezios speech is my favourite
Loved Bayek's so much!
@@MantisManGaming love bayek in general ahahahq
Silenzio. Twenty-two years ago, I stood where I stand now - and watched my loved ones die, betrayed by those I had called friends. Vengeance clouded my mind. It would have consumed me, were it not for the wisdom of a few strangers, who taught me to look past my instincts.
I never understood why people said Connors character was bad. You may not like him but how he acts and his conviction makes perfect sense. A native who saw his mother murdered. A man who had to kill his father. The very people he helped in a revolution, turned on him. Murdered, pillaged, raped his people. He had a tragic life. But despite all of that. He held onto something. Hope. He hoped that in time this cause he knew was greater than himself would pay off and his life would have the ultimate meaning. A reality in which people could exist with freedom and without fear of the qualities that seem to be imbedded within the human psyche. The qualities he was forced to suffer through.
Ezio and Connor are the best ones for me 👍
"Life's hardest choices are the ones that force you to question your own moral code. My choices lead me here, standing against those I once called brothers. History may brand me traitor...rebel...or renegade. But in the end, it doesn't matter how history remembers me. What matters,is that I followed my own creed." Shay Patrick Cormac.
Rogue is so underrated, really
I love this video number 1 is my favorite but I loved all of them the nostalgia hit me hard but it is just great
Glad you enjoyed it buddy!
Video started " when i was a young man...." And i stared crying😥😭
Connor and Ezio are the best. Both of those characters and their speech.
Love how this is a full circle
Thanks for putting this out man.
AC is my favorite franchise ever and i've been playing it since i was a little brat .
Edit: you forgot a few tho , Edward's , altaïr's
Anytime buddy! Glad you enjoyed it💪
Yeah totally forgot Edward's... haven't played AC1 yet so I didn't want to include Altair's before experiencing it. But I'll get to it eventually.😬
Bayek, man was a true hidden one, a legend, father of the creed
He’s so good that not even the order he founded knows he existed. That’s fucking badass
Connor sacrificed so many things so his speech is so powerful
Ezio got forced to sacrifice...
It is Just Sad...
The last speech of Ezio broke me down in tears.... how... MENTOR PLEASE REST IN PEACE AND WATCH US FROM THE HEAVENS
I know ezio is just a game character in a fictional world. But after playing all three game’s it feels like he is a part of me, that his death and life is a part of me. I have seen many assassins die but his was the one I remembered the most. I guess seeing him grow up from a kid into an assassin is why I love him Soo much. I mean no other assassins have other games that follow more part of their lives. Unless you count the connection between AC Rouge and AC unity, or 3 and 4. I guess what I’m trying to say is that Ezio had three games that were all about him and his life he plus a short film. Name any assassin that also has that
None because ubisoft thinks that a comic book is good enough of a sequel
I think brotherhood and revelations didn’t do much like they just had an already wise character. AC2 is where ezio started out as a brat and became a man with a wise head on his shoulders whatever. AC has a much bigger impact than brotherhood and revelations I don’t think those 2 should be counted
ezios speech will always be a wake up call thats y i love it
I believe your favorite speech, or speaker in this video is the character who’s speech you relate to the most. Arno’s is my personal favorite as it hits home.
Arno is so underrated. I wish he got another part, Unity's story was great and Arno deserved more
My fav arno's speech
I find Bayek and Connor very similar. Both started their journeys in persiut of vengeance and ended up being the wisest and deadliest Assassins ever...
And also, both are underrated af...
Bold statement to say that Connor is wiser than Altair or Ezio
@@Aravos99 I consider him wiser than Altair and Ezio, because he was aware of Templar motives, and understood them as well. To a point where he had second thoughts about validating them...
Altair and Ezio were limited by their perspective. They believed that Templars were a bunch of crazy people, doing a bunch of crazy things.
Connor was an assassin by choice, He could have joined his father... Altair and Ezio never got to see the Templar side of things like him.
@@thawne4235 So Altair being mentored by Al Mualim, traitor to the creed who alleged himself with the templars do not understand their motives?
Ezio, whos family was murdered by the Templars and went on a path of revenge. Only to come to the conclusion that men are free to do what they choose, freedom or "control", as long as it is their choice. Ezio, who grasped the reality that he was merely a conduit to Desmond, that he was a pawn in some game, and accepted this?
When both Altair and Ezio are known as the greatest assassins ever to live due to their wisdom and their contributions to the brotherhood? I'd argue that Connor definitely is wise, he is one of my favorites. But to say that he is the wisest is not something I agree with. But who cares who is "right or wrong", the beautiful thing about the series is that every assassin we get to play as, forges an emotional bond unlike no other!
My favorite speech’s all put together in one video. United by a community who loves the games, I love it.
Every speech is a reminder of how far each Assassin has grown. Each of their journeys were kickstarted by selfish motives. Even with noble motives, their world was black and white. Altair, a cold pawn of the Creed, fought for his honor. Ezio sought revenge for his family. Connor fought for his people's freedom. Edward wanted a secure future for his family, but gave in to excessive freedom and lost his purpose. Arno simply wanted to redeem himself into a more responsible man.
With each kill, they learned a lesson. Their preset beliefs are shaken with each confession. There is no black and white. They themselves aren't exempt. They realize that their methods aren't working. There's something they aren't doing it right. They're not thinking broadly enough.
By the end, sometimes with a shocking revelation, their eyes are finally opened and they truly start to get a glimpse of how the world works, what's their place in it and what really matters to them. There's no absolute truth. It's what we make of it. Reality isn't what it is, but defined by our actions. Even then we can't change everything, the impact of our actions may not be apparent, but it is there and may lay the groundwork of another reality, either as a reward or punishment. Most importantly it's all a matter of self realization, and this is something that can't be taught or indoctrinated. You have to choose your own path, open your minds and find out by yourself.
The arrogant, misguided Assassin learns humility and true freedom: the freedom of mind. The vengeful nobleman now values love and compassion above everything. The naive freedom fighter determined to reconcile with his father, grows wise from betrayal and lies, and chooses to fight by building a better generation. The wayward pirate didn't find peace in unfettered freedom, until he found a noble purpose. The spoiled brat hell bent on redemption saw the fallacies of the Creed: indifference, stubbornness, extreme prejudice and chaos.
So all of them has come to more or less the same conclusion, even with vastly different life experiences. It's applicable for everyone. Whoever came up with the base idea for the games is a philosophical genius.
sometimes, when I read comments like yours I feel really understood about what ac is and should be.
I wonder where this franchise would be, if you or me would be in the writers room, sharing these thoughts.
Felt happy reading this. Thank you
@@sebastiankillinger2659 The games changed my life. I mean I played them before when they came out, but I was just a kid back then. I've always been a bit of a rebel and I could relate to the characters. But I've always been frustrated because my rigid beliefs always clashed with the people in my life. I was going through a bit of a rough patch this year. One day I decided to play them all again, from AC1 to Unity. Suddenly everything starts to make sense. It was a bit hard shedding my old beliefs, but they did me good and I'm at peace now.
To most people, it's just a game with a simple good vs bad scenario. That's why the AC games these days are hardly about the Assassins. The last three games had extremely slow or nonexistent character development, and they barely scratched the surface of the Creed's teachings. For people like us, they're life lessons and a philosophy in itself. I'd like to think that if we were the writers, AC could've been the Star Wars of gaming.
@@Pakilla64 I can fully relate to that! When I first played AC 1 I wasn't old enough to completely understand the whole moral code etc and where it would go from here but I could really relate to altair and the creed and even the villains. Every perspective and conversation was well thought through. In some moments I questioned the assassins, mostly during the confession corridors or when talking to al mualim. It wasn't just black and white and nothing is that easy. Everyone acts with a motive or for a (for him) a right cause. And that's where true emersion comes for me. Struggling, failing, realization, regaining your honor mission by mission, getting wiser, questioning, resisting, etc. his the character development was not reached by any other in my opinion.
I can remember while on vacation in italy, we walked across the ponte veccio in florence and I said to my brothher like: woah, imagine playing AC here on these rooftops! and then well.. :)
So ezio was nice, and charismatic and I guess Ac is the game I played most but I wasnt in the end quite a fan of that charismatic womanizer. I mean don't get me wrong, he was awesome, but I liked altair more.
And sadly for me the only other assassins that came close to altair regarding humbleness through pain and sacrifice for me were connor and bayek.
I know a lot of people hated them because of gameplay or other reasons and they're right about that. And the stories got pretty disappointing getting to the end but okay.
Like the video said, connors speach at the end still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. how he sees all that happened and he didn't achieve anything, but would never give in! that for me is the true spirit. fighting against the odds, against oppression and tyranny even though it might not change. but history tells us, that the people CAN make a difference, we see it time and time again. and if they wouldn't be afraid to work together we could accomplish anything. But we also need people to show us what is possible, and to believe in us. that for me is connor. a savage outsider. a liberator and leader to freedom.
and bayek, well he really believed in the people and his whole purpose was to serve the people of egypt. he struggled, failed many times, got defeated and got his honor and morals questioned many times. he was blinded by revenge first but over time he learned to be calm, to see the greater picture. he tried serving a pharao and chosen leaders, but he learned his lesson. they're corrupt and weak or cruel. he understood that the problems he faces and the suffering he endured are the same for everyone, so he faced his destiny, chose or formulated the tenets to live by over time and fought in the shadows for the freedom of his and all the people. recruited women and men to serve and protect.
but he also loved, he laughed, he was a man of passion and feelings. he screamed and gave in to his anger at first while confronting his enemies in the corridors (which to me are the best ones ever made) and then later clamed himself and chose to let the gods decide. also that whole feather thing was just great. a gesture of peace, not of hate.
I could really feel every emotion he had.
and finally that was in many ways the perfect origin story (best would have been if he did kill every target himself or with aya and if he drew the logo himself from the skull etc. but hey)
and those morals and the themes are still more present today then ever. they are so important and I always was like you, a rebel and I have the same mindset, so of course the games struck home with me! and because all that is relevant, I never understood why they cancelled the modern day.. that is just lazy and stupid. having a small modern day plot like in ac3 could have made the whole experience so much better and more believeable.. that it's not just entertainment like they advertise it now, but a inspiring game where the purpose to look into the past for clues is necessary to even play a character from the past..
and the other assassins well.. short:
edward to me was no assassin at all, he even killed some of them. exposed them, wore their robes without earning them, was only interested in prizes and gold. did what he wanted, got his friends killed, handed the templars the observatorium (that plot was also poorly written) and at the very very end. he got a realization, but after that he still is just a pirate with no actual cause.. sorry. thats not enough for a assassin game. for a pirate game yes. and yes, the world was beautiful.
arno: ac5 had soooo much potential and the world was just amazing. parcour and gameplay has and will never better, yet clunky. and the story did so many things right with the underground assassin temple and rituals etc etc. but in the end the villains and plots could have been more interesting. the whole thomas scene at the start was for example really, really good. altair vibes. arno was humble too but elise threw it all out..
jacob and evie.. no comment..
odyssey is a disgrace
and valhalla well.. they could cut the ac stuff from it and it would be a ok game. but nothing in there gave me a real feeling for it. not even the two assassins. or more like, they're just salt in an open wound. that could have been stitched (at least how darbie spoke about it) but they didn't give it mouch attention. and eivor is like edward. not really interested in anything than pillaging and building a settlement lol
and thanks for saying all that, I really feel the same way. With a liiittle bit of work, every character in every story of every game could have been interesting. we could have done that.

I thought Edward leaves for England at the end of the game and joins the British Assassin Brotherhood. He doesn't go back to pirating. Though I agree it wasn't an AC game for the most part. I liked the story, but the pacing is dreadfully slow. The same reason I didn't like AC Origins that much. Except Origins' storytelling and character development wasn't as subtle as it should've been. And the "origin" part was extremely rushed at the end. And all those gods and monster boss battles done it for me. That was the final nail in the coffin for the AC franchise LOL. Ubisoft keeps screwing it up and says they did it for the fans, because they themselves have no idea what to do with it. Instead of building on, fixing and improving what made the games unique, they just scrapped them entirely.
I also agree with Unity. The foundation was solid, the subject matter and characters were perfect. There were so much parallels with Altair's story, like the Assassin/Templar romance, an Assassin being a major villain, the country being in a state of war and whatnot. Bellec's death was cut very short. If only he wasn't sloppy to cover up Mirabeau's murder, killed a few more Assassin Mentors, systematically dismantled the order to rebuild it and blamed it on Elise, it would've made for a much more compelling story. Also, the revolution bit was barely touched upon. It was explained that the Templars fueled it so that people would see the chaos and willingly let an iron fist rule over them, but it seemed like it was just there in the background with no real purpose. But in tone and setting, it was the closest to AC1.
I'm no longer into the franchise, all I do is just come back and watch the old videos because those are all that's left of it. Hopefully one day Ubisoft goes bankrupt or something and sells the franchise to someone capable lmao.
I would love to see a remake of all of the first few games in this series to the quality of graphics of Valhalla. keep the main story of each game as well as extending the story
There is not a man or women that ı loved left standing beside me. Rest ın peace master edward kenway😪.
I have been a fan of this series since Assassin’s Creed 2 easily my favorite game series of all time. Watching this video hit me real hard the nostalgia of Ezio’s speech and then remembering the scene with his brother on the roof at the beginning of the game and all that came back to me because of this video. One of the quickest I have ever hit like and subscribe. Great video
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it
I wish Ezio's speech at the end of Revelations was here too. It was legendary.
First speech is just straight to my heart
All the new speeches are more about blood and glory while ezios feels inspirational and wise :)
Nice video btw
Oh come on man , what???
All speeches in this vídeo where incredible and he still left a couple out...
@@lucas-xf7rc yeah they were good but every game has a different theme making it feel different and we only know ezio from his beginning to a old wise man
In high-school I did performing arts, recited ezios embers speech in my best Italian/ ezio accent, was told I could be a voice actor, was fun
Also just remembered I did Connors speech, sucks that it was cut from the game
Wow that's awesome man. And did you pursue voice acting?
@@MantisManGaming working on it, few of my friends are in a band and ask for a speech to be recited usually biblical quotes or originals, did acting on stage for awhile, but prefer just using my voice.
Another friend of mine wants to start working on an indie game asked for my help when he does start
Wow that's awesome man! Wish you all the best with it!
@@MantisManGaming thanks man! Wish u all the luck with your future too!
The kenway story was so good it was about a man who was once a drinker then became a captain and finally ended up to be a great father along that entire stories he made gr8 speeches no wonder it's the best ac character not as good as Ezio but let's be honest if anyone could match Ezio it's Edward kenway
Aya had such a strong speech in origins (personal fave) BUT here me out, what if the creeds we feel more pull towards and our fave games have a deeper meaning more so of personally understanding that character
Ezio is such a great man. His last speech was so inspiring.
Connor deserves another game
Altair is my favourite
Connors speech is so underrated i wish it was in the game
Ezio is not only one of the greatest Assassins, he's one of the greatest characters of all time.
In the end, Arno and Shay's speech was basically the same. That's what connects the two.
If you didn't cry during at any one of these speeches, what sorcery did you have on yourself?😂
"No books no wisdom just you fretello mio" my fav. words of Ezio.
Bayek's "I never sleep" is such a good moment, the voice acting in that was phenomenal.
My most fav speech is the assassin's creed embers one!
Nice! Yeah I like that one a lot too.
I love it when i talk to socrates in odyssey
Bayek is just better
Love Bayek so much too man!
The RPG finish the game for OG's...
This is Sad...
@@Ratchet2006 it has more hits now than ever, the series is better now than it has ever been. Don't generalise cause alot of us "ogs" got bored of how the game became repetitive and saw this change as a revival
