Assassin's Creed Valhalla | The Entire Story Of Assassin's Creed (2020)

- Assassin's Creed has a long, somewhat complicated (and contradictory as of late) story. Today I thought I'd compile the story so far.
Also as a side note since it's been a massive help, the youtubers Fizhy and Jorraptor both let me use some of their AC Valhalla footage which has been super helpful for the last few months, the two of those guys make some AC Content too, I'll link them below.

Ubisofts real name: Abstergo
Sorry but that is very scary idea considering what Abstergo did in the games. However Ubisoft took a lot of the idea of humans being slaves to aliens from ancient Sumerian texts, so they must have a pretty expansive research department.
@@sykune I refuse to believe that Ubisoft doesn’t have an actual historian on their research team
@@bobjohn6572 I am sure they do
i totally agree, it is scary to think, but not unbelievable.
@@Temporal_Phoenix I mean ubi is literally a real life abstergo and AC games are the helix tablets
Remember when you actually needed to know the story of the old games because the main attraction was the story
The good old days ;(
This story still is i don't know what you mean
@@leagueofdead569 he meant with the new ac games not the old ac games.
AC died with ezio for me .. but was reborn with origins ... the new rpg sistem really revived the game ... it was the same bullshit every year .. now finnally we have a game with good storyline and better gameplay :)
@@MitzyGodsmack For me, Origins is the best AC in terms of RPG because it's simple but yet it works so well and the game is amazing and Valhalla seems to be quite good too from all we've seen so far but fuck Odyssey that game's a total shitshow.
Assassin creed before: "Hide in plain sight" "we work in the dark to serve the light"
Assassin creed now: WAR!
Assassins creed in the future:Bring out the Abrams,this Npc looked at me funny
@@Snay1998 ayo watch your jet Altair, AYO WATCH YOUR JET!
Different people different times
Assassins Creed wouldnt have survived if it repeated itself over and over again, which it did till Origins. Who wants to play the same sh't all over again? Fanboys can just go play the old games if they want repetitive storylines.
@@eurech We stood for a creed, a creed forced us to hide from plain sight and do the job silently , Its hard to see and hear new players praising second generation assassin's creed and criticise old,Evey good thing should come to an end. So does ubisoft, right?
33:43
Juno: "It will happen in an instant, there will be no pain."
Desmond: screams in agony as he try's to take his hand off the pedestal after 5 seconds of excruciating pain.
You thought we could trust Juno?
I thought the same thing lol
>35 minutes for the first 5 games
>13 minutes for the next 5 games
Goes to show how much they dropped the ball with the modern day :(
hopefully they pick it up!
Layla is probably my least favorite character in the series. So bad, the fact that we went form someone like Desmond to her is depressing.
They ended the juno story with a comic I was like wtf
Im honestly quite torn by this, I agree wholeheartedly that the latest games modern day story has been absolutely terrible... However I did love the story in odyssey... It didn't feel like an assassin's creed game, but it felt like a great greek mercenary game...
Modern day was always the worst part to be fair i liked that it wasn't really part of odyssey much.
Honestly Desmonds story breaks my heart. I was so sad when he died
I didn't really care. The playing in the past was always the draw for me
@@newnamesameperson397 The stories in the past were much more interesting but it was the present day story that tied everything together and in a way pushed the story forward. After desmond died it all went to crap
*Spoiler*
Seems like he could be back 🤔
@@heikootto2865 true
@FozeroCore I think Desmond was the entity inside of the "simulation" Layla went in
valhalla was a step in the right direction the story is finally moving properly again, i really liked valhalla it had enough lore to finally go online and watch recaps just to understand everything from the isu lore and modern day story and thats what an ac game is supposed to be like
wait, this was 2 hours ago? h u h
Exactly I love that the modern day is finally the centre of the story again.
Just finished the game after 98 hours. For some reason i cant trigger the the final Order of the Ancient mission. Even though i already. Killed all 44 members before i ended the storyline
@@himothy9871 Have you done the last alliance?
Valhalla was literally a copy an paste of oddysey ffss looool
35:38 "One employee, who was particularly interesting, characterized and well developed". Lmao. That is some top level sarcasm.
Imagine thinking a faceless, nameless, abstergo employee was meant to be well developed.
They really did make Desmond look uglier and uglier as the series went on 😂
thats how life works.
Kinda remind me of adam sandler lol
Think it’s the nose
That’s what I was thinking
Do your granpa still looks handsome after years?
Its crazy how off the rails the story gets once Desmond dies. Them not substituting in an actual "main" protagonist and instead making "YOU, the gaming consumer!!" the main character is where the modern day story died.
They could have brought it back with Layla, Layla in origins really was nothing special; it was better than what we’d had before but not reminiscent of Desmond. But Odyssey was a disaster with the modern day, they skipped a whole year between origins and odyssey and the dlcs were just spectacularly awful.
Let’s hope and have faith that Valhalla will close out Layla’s story and make room to bring in Desmond’s son into the AC game universe as a modern day playable character to bring the franchise back to its true roots with the Miles family
@@Newera1047 I really think this game can tie up Layla’s story well. After that I hope it’ll be something really new. Darby saying that this’ll bring a lot of older stories back to bring them together makes it sound like it’s a slight conclusion.
@@droberts9037 I don’t like Layla she feels like a cheap stand in for Desmond not to mention she is the definition Mary Sue o

People hate on Shaun but I loved his witty remarks. 😂
People hate Shaun? I thought he was a sassy but still caring asshole. I loved him more so than Rebecca at least
@@wadribrab751 I thought Shaun was the most British Brit to ever Brit in a videogame. I like him. Yes I know that means I know nothing of actual British people lol
@@thomasallen9974 that's still totally fine tho lmao
Yeah, Shaun's dry sense of humor was pretty fantastic!
And Rebecca loves it too because she married him lol.
Desmond's death basically made the story non-existent, at least from the modern day part of the game
I really loved when the series was a huge Pseudohistory/Conspiracy theory fest. The way they used to take real historical events and characters and baked them into their weird an intriguing illuminati Style story was reallt amazing. I would like more of that.
reading all these comics makes me feel insane, has nobody played origins lmao. it’s literally exactly what people keep asking for, it just doesn’t have a press e to not die combat system and isn’t about connor
biggest problem i can give to ppl who complain is the fact the modern day story isn’t as interesting as it was, mainly thanks to the fact the recent ones don’t hit the same
@@CEDEREL Most people think Origins is great, I also really enjoy the story…it’s just harder to appreciate it since the release of Odyssey that completely undid all the good work done in the narrative to establish The Hidden Ones. Odyssey is the one that really made it clear Ubisoft we’re just looking to make a cheaper knock off Witcher 3.
Thats the main reason i got addicted to these games.
@@joshk2533 just finished origins a couple days ago and.... it's an utter shitty game without substance, no character development, abundant whining of the main character over the loss of his son as well as literally being rewarded with almost best in slot gear early on. Repetitive, boring tombs where you slide twice or thrice and thats about it, so nothing comparable to the Ezio games. Oh and i almost forgot about the lack of the plot in present times, which is basically layla running up and down a cave twice.
@@mossad_agent946 seriously? Why did that game get so much praise then?
"Yes the main antagonist of Assassin's Creed died in a comic you've never heard of killed by character you've never heard of"
... Ouch... That hurts... Luckily modern times doesn't matter for the story anymore
And that’s why the game has become trash, they tried to cater to the people that didn’t want to engage with the modern stuff, and put out trash. You are the modern protagonist? Lol
@@bsgcato Are you accusatory towards me? Sorry, tone is lost, so I can't really tell. But, what I meant is, I loved the modern day involvment, for me AC has always been a Sci-Fi series, and it was part of that. But from Black Flag on, it was irrelevant, so this part of the story being concluded out of the games doesn't matter, is what I was getting at.
@@SuhiroSenpai
He was being ironic on how "You" are the present day character in AC 4, AC Rogue, AC Unity and AC Syndicate.
@@paulmayson3129 My pondering was more about the first part, not the end joke
That makes ac3, 4 and rogue story meaningless
His dad should've stepped in to sacrifice himself. Could've kept Desmond as a character that way.
Desmond was the only one who can do it. His didn't have the genes.
@@jameswatsonatheistgamer how does desmonds dad not have the genes they both have the same genetics
AfterThoughtZ maybe on his mother side
Would've 100% loved a full modern day AC game based on Desmond.
@@Ck01560 I mean at some point In the video it’s talked about how the genes only manifest themselves in certain individuals also why the sages exist or something like that is how I think the justify it
34:37 this right here is when I started to lose hope for a modern day Assassin's Creed game. Desmond would've been perfect. We were with him for a great deal of the series at that point and a lot of us (myself included) were invested in his story. Now it almost feels like each game is self contained and hardly connected.
I cried.
Literally exactly how I feel about it. It’s like the game just gave up on the story
That’s actually how I prefer assassins creed to be. I’ve never cared about Desmond or the whole thing with him seeing events from his ancestors lives
@@madsarmy3024 if you played the most recent games, you would see that the lore is still very much there. Just cause Desmond isn’t present anymore doesn’t mean the story got thrown out of the window.
Desmond eventually got old. He didn’t die from old age tho, he was in it too far with that hologram goddess chick from AC 3
desmonds death always rubbed me the wrong way and i legit thought the time staff arc would be used to bring him back him
Good news he's back

YES! Finally someone said this ^
I know what I’m doing for the next 50 minutes
Trying to explain assassins creed to people who never plaid the first game or even 2 or 3 is almost impossible. But mention black flag and they go oooooh. Lol.
Exactly my friend recently started playing Assassin's Creed and he doesn't even know who the Templars are. It's kinda sad because he's playing the most recent games and doesn't know this stuff. It shows that the new Assassin's Creed (mainly the modern part of the gameplay) doesn't care to tie in the essentials of what makes Assassin's Creed, Assassins's Creed.
@@nhuq_inthemood lol I always make people watch RUclips recaps if they aren’t willing to play some of the best games ever made.
@@del_619 I should start doing that cause trying to explain Assassins Creed from the Isu’s era to Modern era is quite difficult.
@@nhuq_inthemood That's just sad.
@@drnebulae7578 Not really? They are tackling different part of history, far before the templars.
the glyphs from acII will always be my favourite. the way they blend history and the ac storyline using art historical events and pivitol people from history like tieing in john wilkes booth, rasputin, and other real world assassinations is amazingly done
I love your passion for Assassin's Creed. I remember playing as Altaïr alllll those years ago and falling in love with the game.
Same Altair is my favorite assassin too because of how amazing he was in AC1 :D
@@Agito4774 It's very rare to see someone who's favorite assassin isn't Ezio.

The best AC game must have these:
1: The lore.
2. Actual assassins and templars
Which Odyssey and I guess you can count Origins lacked
@@kazekagejichujisoo7838 See Odyssey I agree with wholeheartedly. But Origins you shouldn't say it lacked because as its name suggests... it's the origins of the assassin order, the hidden ones. So it didn't lack it merely invented them.
@@drnebulae7578 Exactly
@@kazekagejichujisoo7838 odyssey was basically about how the order through out the history started and the history behind the artifacts.there where no assassin's back then which is what origins introduces .both games where necessary for the history of assassins.
Not necessarily true
Its really weird seeing Desmond on the left of the thumbnail and Eivor on the right and knowing theyre apart of the same franchise....this series has changed so much
@Ghost_Troupe apparently in ac history men are weaker while women were stronger. Social signaling.
@Ghost_Troupe SJW
SJW? What are ya'll even talking about? Did you forget it was found out Ubisoft spent decades pushing a secret agenda to keep female leads out of their games? Like, not even joking, they literally did that
@@Savantastic true that the recent cases were true though but I do hope they find better writers soon. Ac starting to feel like a social signal historic fanfiction with unicorns.
@@arthurmorgan9894 lol not at all
The world : being in danger of total annihilation.
Kassandra who is still alive : no, I don't think I want to get involved.
Mary sue like Carl Manvers
I personally loved AC Odyssey, yeah it didnt really fit with the lore of AC but i took it as a standalone type of game and like the world of the game was absolutely perfect in my opinion
Completely agree. It did not do much for the modern day aspect of it. But it was a lot of fun. And Greek mythology and ancient Greek culture are just freaking cool.
And seeing how Valhalla went, maybe it wasn't such bad story after all.
Valhalla makes Odyssey make more sense.
Thank you! It gets so much hate but it is one of my favs!!
Agreed
I agree
I agree!
I just came here after playing the beginning of valhalla, to catch up with where the story went.
Wonderful abridged version of the story, really helped me to get back on track after skipping so many games!
Now lets see what valhalla has to offer.
Same here. Went from Ezio to Eivor, but I still want to play Unity.
@@kevinbezerra3945 unity crashed for me and never worked so make sure u buy it in a bundle with some of the others just in case, that way u can save money on the others rather than waste it on a game that might not work 😁
ditto mate. I love the Valhalla game, but hate the PC, Woke agenda it's pushing.
Valhalla's Animus/Isu backstory was a mindf** for me. But then I played Valhalla first, then Odyssey, then Origins, and then AC1 to do things in chronological order within the 'matrix'
and yes I know Valhalla would be between Origins and AC1 but VIKINGS!
This story is crazy and makes no sense
Odyssey definitely diverged from established lore, but I (as admittedly a huge ancient greece and mythology buff) still found the loop and presentation enjoyable.
I'm playing it for the first time and absolutely love it.
@@Ayeohx devastating shot is all I have to say
Same 🤷
It's one of my favourites and its also explain many things about the lore . But on a gameplay standpoint its literally made to get more players who didn't like old AC while made AC fans furious
@@koui4449 this is true as I was never that much of a fan of the old ac gameplay and I only played 3 and syndicate but still loved the lore. That’s why I love origins,odyssey and Valhalla as I like the gameplay a lot more plus I love how it deals a lot with mythology
I like how this justifies my decision to stop caring about the story after 3. At this point you have to wonder why Ubisoft still call this franchise assassins' creed, like serious they could have just made a new game franchise at this point with how far they are from where they started and how far the stories head is up its own ass.
3 was my last one and I still think it's the best. The story isn't cohesive any more and so I think I'm done.
You can tell that after Desmond dies in game, all major story decisions were made by people not connected to the story before.
Nahh fr lol a bunch of nonsense crammed together...
Im just...my god so buch bs in here...the main story of series is about Isu, modern days and cataclysm u really should repeat all games till 3 if u didn't get it. And that's why the game is called still AC that's why it is continued and that's why the story in games after 3 is better. The Universe was meant from the start to tell story about time travelling about super inteligent race before humanity if u don't get it u were playing wrong game from the start. It's not for u.
odyssey actually got me into the assassins creed universe. i think not being lore-heavy was pretty strategic on ubisoft’s part because i fell in love with the gameplay and then as the story unfolded, fell in love with the history embedded within the other games. i went back and played origins, and then bought valhalla the day it was released because i was so hyped.
i already finished valhalla but now i’m going back and playing for completion (i want dem playstation trophies man). seeing all of the “hidden” scenes and plot lines for the assassin lore made me super interested to know everything i can about the games.
out of all of the explanation videos i’ve seen, this one by FAR was the most in-depth and easy to follow.
i realized now that this was a super long and overly detailed comment, but basically, thank you for establishing plot for assassin’s creed, especially because i haven’t been apart of the community for long :)
It was pretty strategic to get new players in but they lost all the people that loved the assassin stuff, I’ve heard way to many people say that there not even assassins in Valhalla. They should’ve just made a Viking game instead and left AC alone.
You should play black flag though, it’s one of the best
@@bradenr867 Those are people who A: Never played the game or B: want to discredit it for everything.
You're given a hidden blade by an actual assassin from the Hidden One's order. You're taught the leap of faith from them, you're taught assassinations from them (Hell, instant kill assassinations are in Valhalla even.). You hunt down targets for the Assassin's order...
And to top it all off, AC Mirage follows the footsteps of the assassin who teaches Eivor in Valhalla...
That game garbage as an rpg and as an ac
I like how the whole video was building up this amazing house of cards filled with excitement, and then oddesey popped up, and the whole house just came crashing down within 2 Mins. XD
Seeing this vid made me super happy I didn't actually play Odyssey XD
@@craigsimpson8380 rip you, its the best ac game
@@duckiesae ehg, debatable I guess. Gameplay wise maybe, but it seems it messed up the continuity of the overall ac storyline. The while point is digging into the past, a timeline that has already happened, so giving the player free choice to change the timeline thriws a wrench into it. I've played since the very first game when it came out and enjoyed the original concept of the game so guess we all have different tastes in what makes a game good 🤷♂️
@@craigsimpson8380 it doesn't mess up the timeline too much for me because I just chalk it up to Layla's version of the animus as being a bit screwy, that's all. I'm happy enough with that explanation, which allowed me to enjoy Odyssey just fine. Besides, you lose out on a lot of Isu lore if you skip Odyssey, which you kinda need if you want to understand Valhalla's Isu lore.

Im super convinced this game was telling us stuff, especially in 2020
It was a recounting of Genesis
@@sevenwhatuknow I think its more than that, yes that is the foundation of the story. What I find intriguing is the secret war behind closed doors. That is the part I am talking about
@@donaldcharles3331 I agree. It's at least the first 3 games were describing Genesis. Then they added on different features such as the assassin's and templars. I've done a fair amount of research on this topic over the years. I found a religion just called "mystery religion", which I found connects ancient Sumerian to the Greco-Roman. And it was a secret society that retained lost information and knowledge. And I'm sure it is still practices to this day via societies like Freemasons. Just like how the assassin's and templars know what's going on with the Esu(which were the Sons of God mentioned in the Bible and created Eden and Adam and Eve thru hybridization). Ubisoft definitely knows something
@@sevenwhatuknow read a book called cult of Mithras by Carl Ruck and the Immortality key by Brian Mursesku. These. 2 books IMO give answers to these questions that no institution or theology of our generations are able to give. I am a strong believer that the truth exists on the fringes of reality.

After the death of Desmond in AC-3, I stopped playing this game..,
Good bye Desmond.., you will always be the true assassin in my heart.
True
When playing as Alexios I felt like they attempted to make him into a knockoff Ezio. They way he acts and speaks just seems so similar yet lacks all the charm.
I have, however, really taken a liking to Eivor.
That’s how I feel at least
Eivor and ezio are definitely my favorite characters in ac so far
@@legendarysaiyan5708 I know how you feel! It’s the same for me :) definitely the best two.

My best friend used to be a store manager for GameStop. They do a big conference for all the managers once a year. Ubi told them the next 3 assassin's Creed would be very different. Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla. Why they didn't tell the rest of the world I'll never know. Would have saved them a lot of hate
Wait so if clays ancestor is ezio does that mean desmond and clay were related?
Very very very distant cousins. I like to believe that Clay's ancestor from Ezio came through Amelia, a girl Ezio once slept with in Forli, right before going to Venice with Leonardo.
Their relation would be so small to the point its insignificant, but yeah they're kinda related. Clay's lineage comes from one of Ezios illegitimate children while Desmond is descended from one of Ezios and Sofias children, that plus the 500 years difference makes them *very* distant cousins.
I was thinking th exact same thing and then I thought that ezio has a bunch relatives so it's not that confusing now.
We are all related. ;)
Amazing story recap compilation, this really reminded me why I fell in love with AC all those years ago. I hope Valhalla goes back to its roots in terms of the lore of the assassins and Templar’s

Amazing job with this one! Thank you! Also thank you for ensuring me that I shouldn’t worry having never played Origins or Odyssey. This was my favorite franchise and you could see it being dismantled
man growing up with this franchise has been a great one, i remember playing the first one back in 2007 and now look where it has gone... it made me tear up for some reason.
AC Brotherhood was my first introduction into this franchise. I thought it was so good that I went back to play AC2. The only mainline AC games I didn't bother with were AC: Odyssey.
I liked what they did with Origins & I am currently enjoying Valhalla. I remember playing Brotherhood while I was a sophomore in high school & Revelations while I was a senior.
@@TheBeat710 Real guy over here!
I personally don't like Layla as a character as I feel she was written as an over powered character.
Desmond had his flaws that's why he was a good character he relived his ancestors lives and grew because of them. Layla is not even related to bayek or Kassandra
She didn't have to be related .she's an assassin probably was the last hope for them as at the end she got the artifact from Kassandra
On top of that we will know more about her In the next game
Yeah Idgaf about Layla.
FEMALE STRONG!!!
Layla, thanks for reminding me of her name, is that one employee who wanted to prove that she's more than a grunt.
*oh woow such interesting character*
(also thing which i learned from the video because the guy pointed that out)
True, but I like the fact that she isn't related. It's less of a chosen one narrative that way.
Not MUCH less, mind you, because the isu specifically say she is destined to sbe the next keeper and is literally chosen as such, but still.
This vid is one years old ( and I bet no one would actually see this) but this one video has helped explain so much that toms of others just can’t, what an amazing creator
I echo most of the sentiments I’ve seen about Valhalla. It’s made me excited again about the modern story and I’m so happy to be back into a franchise I loved for this reason. I didn’t really play much of the games from IV to Origins. But Odyssey was a game I loved on its own and the modern day stuff peaked my interest slightly but Valhalla has got me back and I’m glad the story I loved is coming back. Can’t wait for the next one now.
How you only have 13.2k subscribers. You totally deserve more than 200k
Dude you deserve so much more subs and I’m sure you’ll get them, really quality content!
This is, by far, the best "entire story" video on assassins creed. Thank you!
I didn't like Odyssey at first, but kept playing it and it turned into my favorite assassins creed game. I'm currently playing Vahalla, but having a really hard time getting into it. I keep going back and playing Odyssey.
I've had to watch two (TWO) of these recap videos to understand the whole assassins creed storyline. This was the better of the bunch because it emphasized the "in modern day" parts. Which tbh, I quit after starting revelations. I lost track of miles, then I hear he died, and then it's just a mess. This confirms it.
You can see it goes downhill after a certain point...VERY clear.
@575agon Yep.
AC origin?
@@spacepirate4623 No? Odyssey...
Anything after origins is garbage ngl
I don't undertsand why people hate Odyssey.. its a great game.. yes, the game does not have the creed of assassins in it.. but let's be real, most of AC games are talking about Isu(and their technology).. and in timeline, Odyssey is before AC Origin.. so, the game(Odyssey) still have Isu technology in it.. and their descendant are ones of the people in AC Origins, where the Creed of assassins were created. It is still a continuation.. just because there are no Assassins in it, the motives are still the same, trying to find Isu artifact and prevent Abstergo from getting it. I had fun playing AC games since AC 1, but Odyssey kept making me coming back to play it everyday, I love the game. The only reason tryhards fans says its a shit game is because you are all too salty just because there are no assassins in the game, lol.
The Desmond series was such good narrative. Thank you for the recap and saving me months of game play
This is the 1st time I've come across any of your videos and I subbed straight away after it. What a legend you are mate. Looking forward to more content
one thing that i really notice now is how damn good the music for the modern day is. it’s so full of emotion it makes all the difference
I thought I was just a Viking, Valhalla was my first game lmao
lol you missed out
actually this way the game is 100 times more enjoyable, i loved odyssey as i felt like a spartan discovering the grec world like in classic god of war, i loved unity since i live in Paris and i enjoyed seeing the same city as it is portrayed during the french revolution, and it goes on with black-flag and syndicate, i just started valhala and i have the same thing in mind, just a viking messing around back then when butchring people was normal. i pretty much give zero fucks about a story that is so complicated it doesnt make any sense. especially when the story is about some devine beings and supernatural weapons that actually ruin the pleasure of true history.
Cuz they ruined it
First minute of this video is mostly why it’s also my favorite game franchise too. Good stuff bro.
I liked this video because of the use of the cutscenes to add a nice breather to the fast paced info dump.
It let the video and the viewer take a breath without it getting boring.
Seriously, thank you for making me realize I wasn’t just going crazy with Odyssey. There were so many things that just didn’t line up, and by the end of the game, I was lost in the dark, wondering if the franchise decided they wouldn’t ever elaborate on the original story. Love these games for the story, but definitely disappointed with where it is going. I have serious doubt for Valhalla, but maybe my low bar will make it a great step forward.
I don’t understand why it gets so much hate. I thought odyssey was great!
@@kaitlynboatright8156 odyssey is good as in a good rpg, decent gameplay and graphics, but that’s now what makes a game good. For many including myself, it strays way too far from ac’s roots and what made it good (they forgot the hidden blade for heavens sake!) and overall i really didn’t like it, I hate rpg-style ac games. But ur free to have ur opinions
@@ispgravy4233 Well, in Odyssey you're not playing as an Assassin, the Assassins weren't even established by that time, so that's why your character doesn't use the hidden blade. But Legacy of the first Blade DLC tells the story of the first person to use it.
@@kaitlynboatright8156 is it really that hard to understand odyssey is a good game but not a good assassins creed game
Great stuff, exactly what I was looking for! I stopped playing after the Desmond story arc and just picking up valhalla, looks like I've done the right thing missing those others games as really loved the storyline 😂
I’ve been a big fan of and have played all of the AC games since the first one back in 07. I’ve enjoyed every single one, some more so than others, sure, but I wouldn’t say ANY of them are bad. Watching this recap brings such a sense of nostalgia. Great job putting this video together.
The mental gymnastics I have to do to wrap my head around the Odyssey modern day stuff is astounding. I'm so glad Valhalla put the series back on track. It feels like there's an overarching story again. The story was treading water a little bit during the Black Flag - Syndicate Era, it kinda got back on track in Origins, felt clunky in Odyssey, and is better now with Valhalla.
Thank you for this. I was so confused as to what was happening with everything. And rightfully so! So much happened that wasn't shown and the last few games have just had my head boggled!
Hope Valhalla gets everything back on track for the storyline now.
On odyssey - I honestly thought this should have been a standalone game. Not part of the AC franchise at all.
I have played AC since the first one. For me the main lore stopped once Desmond died. So I enjoyed Odyssey for what it was- the best Xena: Warrior Princess game we're likely to get.
My theory us that desmond faked his death to fool the templars. He will come back and the final game will be an asassins creed that takes place in the present or not too distant future.
Thank you for giving this much love to a verse I, too, love.
You just earned a subscription from me.
I LOVED your comment at 35:38 haha. Clever and sharp all in one. Also, how cool is it that James reached out to you in the comment section.
Thanks for this video bro! I've missed a few of the games so it was great to watch this.
Question: I'm currently playing through odassy purely for the story, is it wortg continuing or did you pretty cover this? (as I'm struggling with the overall gameplay so if I don't need to I won't ) thanks again
Randomly got curious about AC's story bc i stopped being invested after 3 and black flag. I loved this video so much. You really described it all so perfectly and i cant believe how off the rails the main story went after 3.
Holy crap that's exactly where I left off too. Found this video as a refresher and insight into the later games.
35:41 “one character who was particularly interesting and well developed “ lmfaooo great video man. Had to subscribe.
Walshie I loved EVERY single second of this video.
Holy shit this went from the entire story of assassins creed to the best rant of Odyssey i ever heard.
Love how it started out as the timeline in order but devolved into a rant
Outstanding job on this video... In 2007, I went from being nothing more than a part time,middle aged PS Sports gamer, to An AC Fanatic..I had been a gamer since the day 1 rollout of PS 1...But this series of games, this franchise changed everthing..2 things I had always enjoyed in my life had been merged together...History and Video Gaming.. But something is missing..The Altair and Ezio feeling..I hope Ubisoft brings it back...
Imagine if Desmond wasn't killed off and he had to find a sync nexus for Edward, Haythem, and Connor, like he did for Altair and Ezio. We could have a rogue like game playing as a young Haythem, and show Connor with his son, and maybe even see the events of liberation from his point of view.
I mean AC Odyssey is what got me back into the series because it was actually fun and humorous, plus I like how different it is.
Same here. Never liked the AC series before odyssey. I tried to play them but they just felt so clunky and slow paced. I guess you just had to play them when they were new, back before we got spoiled with todays games and mechanics. Recently finished Valhalla and id put it up there with Odyssey, not quite as fun, its lacking alot of freedom in builds and armor but still great.
odyssey is really funnier gameplay-wise, but lore-wise , it was like stabbing the old fan's balls with a flaming needle
@@kumakaon9225 omg yeah it kinda is 😂😂😂
Nothing is quite like AC lore! EXCELLENT video explaining it all.
Bruh you ent through this without a single stutter. 👏🏾 👏🏾 great work man. I played every creed that came up and you put it all together in less than an hr and I’ve shelled out well over 300 hrs in these games. 😂
Dude honestly, Im so greatful for this vid. I didnt want to finish the Atlantis dlc just to understand Valhalla, cuz its so boring, so seriously thank you so much xd
Keen for the updated version after someone finally finishes Valhalla
Amazing video , Perfectly captured the nosedive of the series. as a long (from the 1st) AC fan (games & Books) it was brilliant
Wow, this is really good dude. Great job on the video, was really enjoyable.
Followed this up to your rant on oddysey. Was literally one of the best games in the entire series
