![[Rant] My Ideal AC Game [Stream Highlight]](/img/1.gif)
When the animus was actually dangerous and required highly focused and trained people to operate and the user had to be precisely acclimated to not get hurt by it rather than just hop on in without a care
Hell yeah. Like I often say, the Animus is too safe and "clean" nowadays, it's supposed to be a terrifying machine that slowly drives people mad.
I'm just curious how people are experiencing memories of other bloodlines in black flag onwards. Like, if DNA's all you needed why kidnap desmond at all. Just take some spit and go if it's that easy.
@@christian908 Probably cause Animus 1.0 was kind of weak.
@@AntoniM- this is where the timeline for the games kinda breaks down as Black Flag modern day only takes place a year after the original AC, which means they somehow made a perfect risk free animus only like one year after Abstergo were still using 1.0, and in their entertainment branch no less
@@zen_arcade Yeah your right but I was joking but sarcasm is hard to understand in text obviously.
Now I know why the first one always stuck with me. The whole game feels like a dream. Mist everywhere.
Yesss! I love it.
True man... U haven't played AC1... And it stuck with me too 😂 😂 😂 😂, just by watching it back in the day 😂 😂
First time seeing someone on youtube who loves AC1 as much as i do
It's sooo goooddd
This is my all time favorite too.
Man, just the character development in these games was so good. He goes from arrogant jerk, to super wise level headed leader.
I knoww, it was legendary.
Lmao, watching you fangirl over AC1 at the start was wholesome af.
edit: oh my god, your analyses going forward are so insightful, I never saw how deep this franchise was.
Don't worry about it, AC tends not to be seen for what it is. The vast, vaaast majority of players don't look into it or try to understand it. That said, I'm sooo happy you're here and that it's started to click for you.
And, thank you for the good feelings on my hype and nerding out LMAO. That's how it goes.
I finally understand why I have such a strong interest in Tuvan throat singing. And that's because of Masyaf's background music. It's so subtle that I needed earphones to have a good listen.
That's amazing, thanks for the comment!
@@LeoKRogue I also forgot to mention that this is my favorite game too. Trying to instant hidden blade kill a templar was my guilty pleasure.
@@PootNewt Helll yeeesss. It feels *so* good.
The later entries just don't have the same charm as AC 1. No endless lists of other things to do. An engaging parkour, gathering intel to best eliminate your target and a story steeped in history. The progression you achieve through mastery of your skills and body count feel earned, gaining gear and upgrading equipment really makes you feel like an assassin. Altaïr's journey throughout is just perfect.
They really don't, no. Assassin's Creed 1 is deeply unique, it's a blend of so many different things that somehow click together seemingly effortlessly. The swirl of dark sci-fi/cyberpunk, historical fiction, cultish factions, commentary on systems of control, and a player-character with a moveset that's "realistic" but has a subtly over-the-top feel in terms of how _impossibly_ cool he is, it's all just... how do you _make_ something like this? Moreover, how do you _replicate_ any of it for a sequel? You kind of can't, really.
I know this playlist is super old, and I don't want to reduce you to just "the AC guy," but I genuinely love this marathon, and I've rewatched it a few times. It always gets me back into an AC mood, and I love all the little bits of insight and behind the scenes stuff you talk about. It also showed me how to play AC1-Revelations a lot better, which has been super fun.
That makes me really happy. AC1 doesn't really get a lot of love, but I know this playlist is _a lot_ of people's favorite, since my excitement and adoration for Assassin's Creed 1 tends to hit really hard, especially when it's tough to get truly hype for the series nowadays. Thank you for revisiting it and watching it every once in a while.
Sooo well said! I’ve had the luck of playing this game before all the others came out, and it truly was a unique experience.
And Altair, man. What a character. Not just for the development he gets in this game, but also for what his complete story makes him become. He is to the Assassins as a whole what King Arthur is to his Round Table, and the overall ideal of knighthood. He even gets some of the main Arthurian characters, which would be Al Mualim/Merlin, Maria/Guinevere and Abbas/Mordred. And he’s got a life story that basically is the same as Arthur’s.
I mean, Ezio’s awesome, but not THAT awesome. Altair is.
Hell yesss~ :D
I also miss the way old (first animus ) worked. The interface was damn cool. It looked hella ahead of it's time and it made sense. I like that it was basically a torture design in a way(bleeding effect). And the fact that ENGINE was kinda dumb meant no fancy cutscene so that made it skip ahead and allowed you as a player to fill in the events. Which I loved doing and to this day I think no game nurtured my imagination like ac1.
I knowww, I love it soo much.
I wish I had appreciated the depth of the early AC’s when I played them a decade ago. You don’t realize how excellent the old ones are until you realize how off the original rails the newer games are. AC1-AC Rev is such a good story arc for Altair and Ezio. I’m replaying from AC2, so this play through of AC1 is getting my mind in the right space to enjoy the series. Thanks, Leo!
No problem! I'm so happy to help pull you into that vibe and feeling. An amazing experience, these classic games, and quite unique.
Watching you play this has given me the strangest sense of satisfaction and pleasure like I dunno how to explain it. Listening to your commentary is best and seeing it be played so well (I am terrible at this). Ugh, thank you for this fab service! Message me when you’re about to stream this again, I wanna be a part of the chat lol
I'll do that. ^__^
I finally replayed AC1 with all of the mechanics and story elements I learned here and oh my god, it's so different from what I remembered it was. It's so much more fun when you know all of the hidden tech in this game, makes it so refreshing compared to when I was a kid and had spoke no word of English. It's definitely becoming one of my favorite games ever.
That's awesome, happy to hear. :)
This is my favorite game of all time. I'm kind of sad for the fact that ubisoft is not making assassin's creed games about the Assassins themselves as much, and I also mean the real life Hashshashins, that's why I loved ac1, the history of the order of the Assassins although not entirely accurate is still has very interesting changes and that's what made assassin's creed special, slightly changing the history to fit in the Assassins of ubisoft, the modern day, the "those who came before" it's just a very unique game and I love it.
It's mine as well. I miss it a lot.
@@LeoKRoguehey if u read this im very gratefull and want to say i love ur vids i recently got a top spec pc but wanted to go back and enjoy ac series from start to finish i can already say the new ones i proably wont enjoy but for the older games ac1 specifically how do i stop the freezes/stuttering in menu and gameplay like i said my pc is top specs so i can run triple a game on max graphics with max fps i can run in them but in ac1 im stuttering for like 1-2 sec then gameplay resumes any help on a fix for this would be great i love this game but the stuttering is really hard to deal with
I would love a long in-depth video of you explaining why this game is brilliant as the magic was missed on me but your skill and knowledge about the game have given me a glimpse of what I'm missing
That might be cool to do some day. I have a lot of stuff I'm currently working on.
The ominous chorus in the background, the sound effects of the animus, the blue and white mist this game is so unique.
AC1 had a unique emphasis on atmosphere, more than maybe any other AC game except for Unity.
@@LeoKRogue This game put the animus technology so much at the forefront of the game. You were made to feel like you were not playing Altaïr, you were playing Desmond remembering what Altaïr did and that's super fucking cool. The animus seems to have taken a huge backseat in the newer games and I want them to go back to this ominous, creepy style.
Fully agree.
You made me fall in love with this game.
the purest AC game, and one of the most atmospheric games of all time.
It had a VISION!
Dude, I always loved Assassins Creed, but your insight regarding the lore of this franchise is so brilliant and has truly open my eyes as to how good this franchise truly is (or was I guess). Thank you for that. keep doing what you're doing.
Hey, thank you so much. ^__^
I really appreciate that, I hope I can keep doing interesting things and making cool content with Assassin's Creed.
I wanted to watch your full playthrough of this game just because of how awesome it is! And I'm so glad you like it so much, it usually gets the hate which is driving me crazy! I'll replay this game many times in the future
Thank you so much! Yeah, I love Assassin's Creed 1. It's amazing.
I'm so glad I found this video! I played AC1 for the first time only a few months ago and now am making my way through the rest of the games, and it's great to find someone who loves this game as much as it deserves! Guess I'm gonna spend the rest of the day watching your playthrough!
I really appreciate that, thank you so much. ^__^ Let me know how you liked it later.
Ac1 was my start point with the games too, I then got brotherhood and 3 and soon unity. From watching RUclips videos about it it seems I got the best ones.
I feel the reason some people hate ac games is becuase they could have got one of the worse games.
Yeah, the first Damascus interrogation was my favorite too. Mostly because I was in my 2nd or third hour of play and the game was just opening for me, introducing me to it's beauty...the orange skybox , the awesome layout of the rooftops, and the guy yelling in that smooth voice of his. It s then when I realized what a gem I had in my hand.
Acre is my favorite location in AC1 because I'm a sucker for the gothic architecture and plate armors but Damascus has a special spot too.
Acre is also my fave! :D
@@LeoKRogue lol Acre is my favorite too, I just love the colors and architecture
Tuned in for original AC gameplay. Stayed for Leo K's excitement.
Aww hahaha, thanks :D
I’m currently playing this after AC2 and ACB despite the others warning me against it, no regrets at all. The atmosphere and actions are so uniquely cool.
It's truly a unique, one of a kind experience.
OK so.. Its 1am here. I'm watching this out of pure nostalgia.. And I just caught a mosquito with one hand in almost complete darkness.... You know how altair this shit feels?
_Synchronization Achieved._
Ight so.. I just caught another one. I'm not kidding. I'm going full altair ibn l'ahad. Tomorrow I'll try to leap of faith form the castle near my house 😂
If AC1 wasn't already my favourite AC/videogame of all time, the way you gush over it (with facts) would've definitely made reconsider or at least acknowledge AC1 to be THE best AC ever made
Heh, that's awesome. ^_^
Back in school when AC was in it's prime (2011) i always said i liked AC1 and my friends always said it sucks there's no side quests or shops. I'm glad i knew i was right, this game is special
I watched The Professional play through AC1 and his insights and analysis of the game were awesome to listen to, but your insight about the combat and parkour and secrets throughout the entire game and how DEEP this one singular game is legendary, I’m learning so much more about this game from you lol I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I was not familiar with this game’s, game lmao, man I wonder when AC will ever get THIS damn good again.
That's awesome, thanks for checking it out. Very special game. I really hope we see a time AC leans into itself so much again.
I loved ac1 but becuase it had a sort of arcade feel about it. The way you had one target in each city and a few missions to uncover the location of each target. Then had back to the teacher and get an upgrade.
I love AC1's structure for that same reason, it played a huge role in making it feel grounded and unique.
Leo K [Rogue] wait, so you helped in development for it?
No, of course not. What made you think that?
Leo K [Rogue] oh sorry never mind, I miss read your reply where you said ‘it played a huge role in making it feel grounded and unique’ but I thought you said ‘I played a huge role in making it feel grounded and unique’
I thought it was strange which was why I questioned it. My bad.
Watching this makes me appreciate AC 1 in a new way, and now I’m gonna replay it and try to 100% the game! Love your thoughts on the game as well as your skill with it!
Thank you! I would just recommend doing all Save Citizens, Viewpoints and Investigations, the Flags and Templars are not very fun to collect.
Leo K [Rogue] I’m mainly doing the investigations now, but anytime I see a flag or Templar I go ahead and do that too
[Okay, I just caught a glimpse of the insight you possess of this game, and for that I'm starting your streams from the beginning. So I'll keep commenting small stuff here and there. Also, the insight makes me remember why I respect, love, admire and enjoy your content, and you in general.]
OG AC didn't have mocap at all?!?!? Whaaaaat???!!!!? That's soooo cool!
I'm glad you're enjoying my stuff. ^__^
@@LeoKRogue aye sir
I know it might sound silly but I LOVE the AC1 menus so much, not only are they dark and pleasant for the eyes, but they're also mostly transparent, allowing you to see the game through them... like... WHY DID WE GO AWAY FROM THAT AND SWITCH TO BLINDING MENUS?! AND the little power buttons on them again reminding you that this is an ANIMUS and not just a video game, bruh... these games had so much soul.
I feel exactly the same and I nerd out about it semi regularly. It was so immersive.
I come back to watch this stream every now and again, if for nothing other than to listen to LeoK flipping shit just from playing the tutorial. I miss when AC made us that excited.
hehe yesss. Ghost of Tsushima gives me _some_ similar feelings nowadays. Tomorrow I'm gonna be streaming Final Fantasy XVI on Twitch as well, haven't been that obsessed with a game in a while
Your commentary helped me appreciate this game on a new level.
Awesome ^_^
AC1 and the Ezio Trilogy will always be the G.O.A.T of the AC series!
Definitely.
Ac1 is quite probably my favorite game in the series too but it's the kinda game you don't play until you're nostalgic, at least that how it works for me
That's a great way to describe it. When we _do_ play it though, man it's good.
Yea, back when parkour was practical and actually had a use. Kinda looking forward to mirage tho, hope it took a step back to how it used to be
In some ways it is, but it's still not the heights of AC1-Rev by any means.
Of course, combat, stealth, story. Some of the later games lack these factors but improve in others. It is what it is but still, the series' peak was arguably in the ac1-revelations period. Still depends on who you ask
i forget how much i adore classic ac until i rewatch these streams :^) i actually appreciate these leo 😭
Aww damn, thank you so much. :) I appreciate _that_ too.
@@LeoKRogue i hope we get a random ac stream here this year :) even if its a random run around or contract run🫣 im replaying brotherhood bc of these hehe
Vidic "That would be telling"
I choose to believe that's a reference to the opening of "The Prisoner", a series where the main character, an ex spy, is imprisoned with an artificial town built around him made to extract information. Vidic is "the new number two"
That'd make an amazing reference indeed, and be very thematically appropriate. Spooky.
You're hyped me to give a try to AC1 now i gotta do all the originals until revelations, thank you!
Awesome! ^_^
Not sure if I've shown this to you before, but if you like older Assassin's Creed games, you might be interested in my Full Commentary Walkthrough of Two Thrones as well. No Damage, No Upgrades, No Rewind, _lots_ of sneaking past enemies while trying to avoid fighting, it's a really cool run.
ruclips.net/video/k85X6dHIDss/видео.html
The story is about the journey of acquiring knowledge and it’s the best of it’s kind. Maybe the best example of in the last 20 years.
Indeed, I quite love it.
Leo K [Rogue] I just realized... the animus voice/game aesthetic is very similar to Starwars Republic Commando. As I’m trying to write... you keep pointing out interesting things over and over and over again. I can’t keep up on the game/story parallels and the analysis of the bad ass complexities
Leo K [Rogue] also go to bed
This game still blows my mind, I've played in 2007-8 with 8-9 years old, with a PC that didn't ran it so well.
I've replayed later with better PC and it was good, but i was more into 2 and the others, I've played a lot of this games.
Waiting every release and doing almost every content, until Unity, which i couldn't play because of my PC (and still want to, after seeing your videos even more, i want to say goodbye to the saga with that game).
Later i realized the saga was so easy, especially with the kill streak mechanic, and didn't enjoy it as much for some years.
But now with 21 years and playing a lot of games, i understood that it's about the experience and putting yourself in the paper of this characters, not the difficulty.
I'm going through this one, and really enjoying it without HUD, completely immersed.
I think it's the best one, not by nostalgia, but the atmosphere, so dark and believable (The cities are incredible).
Loving this stream, i searched "AC1 Leo K" to see your content about and you did stream!!
Love to seeing you show things i didn't know, like the vault (Edit: narrative stuff i hear now too)
Thank you so much Matias. Some parts of your comment are the same things I have felt while playing these games over the past ten years. Assassin's Creed is something truly special, and my biggest wish is to show people its unique and mysterious qualities.
@@LeoKRogue and thank you for this content, it's really enjoyable to hear your opinion and data about it.
It was one of my best gaming experiences as child and adolescent.
I've recently saw some of the AC4 stream because I've replayed, but then i found this and i was like: "ooohh, here's the real deal".
Thank you again!
(Some day I'll play ACU and re-watch that great guide you did)
This video reminds me of what we've lost throughout the years.
It was beautiful while we had it. I hope, one day, again.
I’ve had trouble enjoying this game but when I first saw the video, you gave me a new perspective on it (like why it is so “annoying”.
So thanks a lot
I'm glad.
Good movement. I like the cinematic touch. With climbing
Thanks. :)
Playing through AC1 again. Thanks for all your old vids Leo. Going to beat this and maybe collect all flags/kill all templars for them old 360 achievements as well as beat AC2 for the 100th time. And then origins lol.
damn hahaha
Oh my god man I'll never forget the first time I played this game hopped on my dad's ps3 when he was asleep and played all night long....unforgetable
When I was really young I used to play AC1 when my parents were still asleep in early mornings haha. Relatable. Felt like exploring a mystical and frightening world. Present Day was something totally unexpected too.
Exactly man I miss that game so bad I'm on PS4 unfortunately its literally the one I can't get and I don't understand why.
Yeah, it's really disappointing. I hope Ubi package some kind of AC1 Re Release with Valhalla and release it separately as well.
@@LeoKRogue That would be nice id like to be able to play AC1 on the PS5 aswell
AC1 is the best for its time, great setting and atmosphere too.
Also Altair is so badass he doesn't slow walk like everybody else, nah he just prays.
I know this was 4 years ago but this made me rebuy this game today as i loved it as a kid but i never finished it heck i dont think i made it halfway through because the disc was scratched i cant wait to play it again
Very unique game, even today. I hope you find it interesting! And of course, I have my classic AC movement guide available to search up on RUclips if you (or anyone you know) need a refresher on how moving around in these older games is done most comfortably.
@@LeoKRogue I’ll definitely check it out 👍 glad i stumbled across you on youtube ive been watching your ac vids like crazy these past few weeks
Hey Leo, I'm new to the channel so I don't know if you've talked about this, but what is your view on Origins? It changes up a lot of stuff but I know a lot of OG fans like it.
Hey there Admiral.
Yes, I love Origins a lot, although it's certainly very different. Basically, I hold a fairly nuanced perspective on AC Origins. I love the game for what it is, while simultaneously lamenting everything it's not. I miss advanced movement. I miss social stealth. I have learned to miss Hidden Blade kills being non-guaranteed or stat-dependent. Those kind of things, I have wished to be changed. Happily, Valhalla will be doing some of that, so Ubisoft learned their lesson too. That said, Egypt is amazing, general gameplay is amazing, and Bayek is my favorite character since Altair.
The atmosphere of the game and overall message and themes were very interesting and unique compared to modern asscreed games, but that (in my opinion) will never justify every target investigation being the same "go sit on a bench and listen, go track an NPC" routine. I liked AC1, but repetitive missions was it's biggest flaw.
Indeed. I had a sick idea once for varying Investigations in waves. The first three memory blocks would have a few kinds, the next three would have different kinds and you wouldn't play any more of the first kind, and the last memory blocks would be their own thing entirely.
Also fits because the Templars know the Assassin is investigating them in the ways that he is, so realistically they would be changing how they run information between themselves.
It’s insane how AC1 has better voice acting than Odyssey or even Valhalla.
Also wtf I never knew you could read the letter.
AC1 has better voice-acting, writing, and direction than most games on the market.
Rhadoka alley means "take on someone your own size" if I remember correctly. I looked it up :), I was too curious when I first played
That's awesome, thank you!
@@LeoKRogue so apparently there is an old reddit post that translates them . They all sound pretty tame in comparison to how badass I remember so I might not con6 them accurate lol...but I thought I could share if you were curious: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=amp.reddit.com/r/assassinscreed/comments/4nyjh4/ac1_does_anyone_know_what_altair_says_for_taunts/&ved=2ahUKEwipm_XwmvbtAhWiw4sKHekiBbgQFjAAegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw0HVpq_XpUfQFz-asq7-3iO
i'm willing to play an unfathomable amount of money for them to remake assassin's creed 1 while making it as respectful to the original as possible. the mysterious atmosphere and the unwelcoming world create an experience like no other. the future assassin's creed improve on many things, but none are able to capture the same feeling as this one unfortunately. pls do keep nerding out about this game!!!
I want that so bad, I'm just always so nervous of modern Ubisoft touching AC1 in any way because I get the feeling that they just don't get it.
@@LeoKRogue they definitely don't. and those cracks started showing after brotherhood when the original creator was kicked out 😔 that being said, i think the developers that actually work on these games are way more in touch than any of the higher ups. the team that worked on unity got their work cut short bc of the deadlines, and the developers behind mirage seem to be making most of the resources they were given.
but alas, i feel like they would honestly just be better off consulting long time fans lmao
about to re binge watch this a year later :]
Hah, hope it's still cool.
So leo, are you doing all games, or are there several you arent or cant. Also love your stuff
I'm doing all games in the subreddit's Marathon, which I believe ends at Assassin's Creed Rogue. However, since I'm doing double-MemoryBlock/double-Sequence instead of one Sequence a day, I will likely have "banked" enough time to also do a Unity speedrun at the end.
@@LeoKRogue Awesome
@@anttkd5730 Thank you for loving my stuff, by the way. ^__^ Let's hope I can keep doing interesting things for a while.
No wonder Rebecca was so contemptuous of Abstergo.
Oh, they're horrible people, Abstergo.
@@LeoKRogue So true. But their Animus is also so... Suffice to say, after playing with Baby, I don't know if I'll get used to Animus 1.0🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favourite too, I hope they make a real life animus and I also prefer the animus voice, it’s awsome, not the displayed tips broke as rip off animus which we know the most, and my favourite feature in ac is the gentle push, it was actually so useful back then, and I learned it’s good irl too!
That's awesome. ^__^
I find not many people think much of AC1, so it's always cool to find folks who are enlightened enough to grasp its quality.
Leo K [Rogue] well I like originals and Altaïr, he’s my favourite and idk Y but I feel like he represents me in some way, I’ll replay this game soon, I also have ac clips on my instagram primark,hoodie just in case you’re bored
I'm pretty new to AC, but I love your videos! I've started watching this one and the excitement you share about the game really makes the video so much more enjoyable and I love how much you know about the game! I'm stopping to comment because I haven't made it very far yet, but you comment that modern day was used in marketing exactly once, and that had really piqued my curiosity because I don't think Ive EVER seen even a whisper of desmond being mentioned in any of the major trailers or anything. Was it more recently with the new modern day stuff?
Hey CloakedSchemer! It makes me really happy that you're enjoying yourself here so far.
This is the trailer: ruclips.net/video/kW0jpXs3BB8/видео.html
@@LeoKRogue Thanks for this! That was a super interesting trailer and makes me wish Desmond was like still a part of the modern day. Also, I gotta say I finished the video and u are hilarious. the john wick comparison made my day lmao u did that spot on
Hey Leo, I know this comment is a bit late, but during Tamir’s assassination, SSJ Lang commented (in the live chat) that you could hide/blend as a merchant and he would interact with you. Do you know how to set it up? If so could you make a short little video or something of the sort? It just seems so cool and interesting.
Edit: Also are there any other “set ups” for other assassinations? Like this “acting like a merchant” thing, if it actually works.
As far as I'm aware there is no actual interaction or special animation for it. I've never personally tried it myself but you can look up IanXO4's Assassin's Creed 1 videos, and he does this in at least one of them. Altair takes a merchant's place, either by moving him away, or killing him beforehand (this will drain some Sync because it's a Civilian Kill) and then just chilling out there. Since AC1 keeps you Stealthed as long as you're not doing anything conspicuous, Tamir ends up having all this default dialogue and all his default animations, but Altair is standing in front of him instead of the merchant. I think that's pretty much it. :P
A fantastic game!
I still love it twelve years later, so I feel that AC1 is timeless. I'm sure some would disagree, but fuck those people haha
@@LeoKRogue Agreed! And AC 2 is also still timeless to me.
At least 99% you want to marry and/ or be trained by Altaïr...don't blame you tbh, same here.
Be trained by, embody or become. I see myself in him a lot.
i remember in the original manual for PS3, they said something about how the animus has a controller shaped like that of a game console, for familiarity’s sake.
i’m quite curious - is Desmond also seeing Altaïr in third person like us, or in first person? desmond’s gameplay perspective is explained by cameras (in the first game at least), but have we ever explicitly been told if the animus is as we see it, or if that’s strictly in gameplay, and it’s moreso his eyes seeing exactly what his ancestors’ eyes saw?
Everything Desmond experiences is as if he's living Altair's memory, so to him it's all in first person, complete with touch, smell, taste, and so on. I believe there's at least one or two official sources for that floating around, but the rest has just been pieced together by the community given the lore we've received over the years. As for the controls, the Animus has no actual "physical" controller, it's all just a 'vibe' in the user's brain and thought-patterns and the Animus can read those brain-waves. It seems easier to interface with the machine if a Subject has 'buttons' to call back to and associate certain actions with, but I imagine if someone gets really good or over-Syncs, they'd just be able to control their ancestor and 'swim' through their memory-stream without such aids.
thank you for the speedy response! that controller thing has been in the back of my mind forever - confused me when i was younger, since there’s no controller in-game, but i distinctly remember it mentioned in the manual, I wonder why it was in there in the first place. Animus 2.0 and onwards I had already figured it was “interfacing” with the brain since it explicitly shows Rebecca sticking Desmond in his arm and such, but I just wasn’t sure about the one in the first game.
I think the only reason I was uncertain about what Desmond experiences in the animus was BECAUSE of thinking he was using a controller - I had figured Ubisoft was going for a “full-sync” between the player and Desmond, where when he’s in the animus, our hands are “his” and vice versa, and everything that we see on our screen is exactly what he is seeing down to the pixel. I must’ve been 11 or 12 when I “deduced” that, and haven’t given it a proper thought since. If the game wasn’t such a meta masterpiece already, I wouldn’t have given any of this a second thought.
Once again, I really appreciate the clarification - now I can’t stop picturing Desmond getting violently ill from medieval stenches
This has always been my favorite game of the series, and I’ve learned so much more about it thanks to your videos - this balance of informative and entertaining commentary hits a perfect sweet spot for me, and I keep finding myself back here because of it. Hope your week treats you well, and thank you for all of this wonderful content!
Assassins creed 1 is honestly super underrated. Admittedly is hasn’t aged all that well, but I still think the story and writing are very enjoyable to sit through. Still a very good game in its own right, and a definite recommendation, if anything else, I think it should definitely be played so you can have more context of altaïr as a character before going into revelations since he plays a major role in the overall narrative
Edit: I do think the game has not aged the best, but I do not think it is nearly as bad as people say it is. The gameplay functions well for the most part with a couple of hiccups here and there, but that’s about it, nothing offensively bad about it aside from maybe having to lock onto targets to kill them with the hidden blade
It's probably aged a bit better than AC2 visually and in terms of writing quality. Gameplay is something you get very used to as well, I've been watching Memento_Gallery play it for what's essentially the first time and he's adapting super well. It just depends on how much the player in question cares to give it an honest try.
@@LeoKRogue agreed. Like I said, I don’t think it’s aged nearly as poorly as people say it has. If I’m going to be honest, of the first 5 games in the series, I think AC2 has aged the most out of all of them, in terms of visuals and some of the writing decisions(as much as I still love AC2, the battle of forli and the bonfire of the vanities DLC are probably the worst parts of the game and are pretty bad from a story and mission design standpoint. Story mainly because it completely kills the pacing and momentum of the narrative and feels like pointless filler. I don’t really mind filler, but when your game is already very long, adding more to it feels exhausting to do. I would’ve honestly had little problem with the DLC if they just did what they did with the da Vinci disappearance for brotherhood where they’re optional memories to come back to. AC2’s narrative really suffers from them being mandatory memories, and should’ve been optional unlocks after sequence 11 where we either choose to complete the story first and then do them later, or stay behind and do them first before finishing the story if you really want to
@@LeoKRogue either way, aside from my little rant about AC2 and some of its story elements, AC1 is still a perfectly fine game in its own right, and I’d still recommend it for its narrative and also just to get a little more insight about altaïr’s character going into revelations since he plays a major role in the overall narrative, so having that added context from having played AC1 really does help elevate the narrative of revelations, which is already one of best in terms of storytelling in the entire series
Have you read Alamut, the book which served as AC fundation?
I have, yeah. It's pretty amazing.
Leo K [Rogue] I know right. It was actually a mandatory read in my highschool and that was pretty dope
1:53:20 that's what bellec tells arno before he killes sivert
That suicide in order to kill your target was the normal approach before altair
Mhm~ ^__^
Good memory there Scorlord.
Dude I just wanna be happy.

Yo Leo! A friend of mine wants to get into the AC games, however the chance of playing AC1 is slim. I want to encourage them to experience it by watching me stream it, however I feel I won't do the game justice.
Because you've got an eye for good content, could you suggest a full playthrough video(s) of AC1 with the stylish gameplay to be expected from enthusiasts? If not, then I'll just practice some of the community's finer kills and convince my friend that Altaïr canonically Eagle Strike'd William of Montferrat.
Hmm... I don't actually have any full AC1 playthroughs I could recommend. The only one that comes to mind is Hayete's No Damage run of AC1, but he plays very safely there for understandable reasons so "style" is not what it necessarily evokes much of the time. It's more, safety and efficiency in taking no hits.
My favourite assassins creed
Same. ^__^
@@LeoKRogue good to hear that (:
I cant buy ac1 on xbox store where can i get it
I have the feeling Altair is your favorite protagonist. Man I miss this game but not sure I could go back to a game without day night cycle lol.
I love how to game sounds when you step on different materials so immersive.
And one other thing to add the story was great but kinda weird how the gameplay didn't always help. Like you have no in game way of telling how much Altair hunts for the templars, nor any way of knowing what Al Muslim will use the apple for once he has it. But those things aside, cool damn game.
That feeling is right ^__^
And the creed felt like an actual creed back then other then the ac 2 brotherhood where they’re not dressed appropriately
It definitely did, yeah.
Leo K [Rogue] you’re my favourite RUclipsr because you post assassins creed videos and reply quite fast, and you’re very nice and skilled as an assassin
Yo I was wondering where ur from because u pronounce these Arabic words well
I'm a boring dude living in Canada. :P
I just love Altair and this game.
The scene in 1:36:38 . I have the comic. And it is the exact same convo and scene, the killing the pool, the water. But Leo.... Altair was meant to be viewing this from a rooftop and then air assassinate the dude
Comics/Transmedia are lesser 'weight' in terms of canon than primary materials (the games).
Also, depending on which comic you're talking about, it might be entirely non-canon on its own.
Finally, if something was _truly_ 'meant' to happen one way and one way only, the Animus would simply force that to happen in-game (as it already forces many other things :P)
Have you read Alamut? This first sequence is filled with references to it
I've read a synopsis, yes. I still want to read the actual book.
Assassin's Creed 1 was based on / inspired by Alamut, as mentioned by Patrice Desilets near the time of its release.
@@LeoKRogue You absolutely have to read it. It's so good. It has almost everything you love about AC1 in spades
Considering AC1 is your favorite game in the series, I have a question. What is it that makes AC1 so fascinating to you compared to its sequels and what did the sequels do wrong both from a story and gameplay perspective in your opinion? (AC2-Syndicate, not counting Origins-Valhalla because we all know what those games did wrong)
Although I do technically already know the answer to this question, I'm curious to hear your thoughts because you're Leo K and every time you say/write something I agree with It makes me feel good to know that I'm not alone on certain topics about this messy franchise that we all love and despise called Assassin's Creed.
I'm pretty ill right now so my brain doesn't work the way I want it to, but basically Assassin's Creed 1 is completely itself to the point that it doesn't care if it alienates a mass audience. It was just barely successful enough to get a sequel but to this day most people consider it the "worst" game in the series with few redeeming qualities.
That's not because it's actually "bad," despite one or two genuine shortcomings I would quietly polish up in a Remake, it's because it is _so committed_ to being what it is that it fully accepts a lot of people are going to hate it. The thing is, I LOVE what Assassin's Creed 1 is, so I never NEEDED it to change for me. Instead, I just wanted MORE of that because there was nothing else like it. There still isn't.
Sadly, that's not the series we received in the end.
As per my usual quote;
"It kind of sucks that AC2 got a billion sequels, but AC1 never even got one."
Imagine trying to play this game with no upgrades like in the beginning when you get demoted
That would be awesome, I'd love to be able to do that.
You would have to sneak everywhere becuase you would get deleted. And it would be *IMPOSSIBLE* to do the missions where you have to fight a group of high ranking enemies, like the one where you have to beat those Templar’s before the boss battle.
I'm gonna get AC1 on my Xbox one
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it.
Wait, don't you need to turn off internet to stop AC1 from freezing? If that's the case how'd you stream?
What you're talking about is a very recent issue. I mean "within the last month or two" recent. AC1 used to work perfectly fine for years, until whatever Ubi did to it just now... >_>
You can edit your hosts file instead of turning off Internet access.
Are there any vods of ur ac3 playthrough you mentioned during the intro?
Sadly not anymore.
I’m so baffled as to why Ubisoft hasn’t remade this gem of a game. Yeah it does get a bit repetitive and collecting flags is a bit weird but this game is the reason they have a multi million dollar IP. I wish they would completely remake this and improve upon things using their past games.
Rebuild the parkour and use this as a baseline, use the combat from something like Origins, bigger and more accurate maps, Unity styled black box missions, a retelling of the modern day at I would argue it’s peak, improvements on social stealth from the Ezio Trilogy, no OP eagle for scouting and instead a more refined eagle vision and in turn making you rely on the info you gather before hand to help you plan your preferred routes and instead of constantly using the same three methods to gain info perhaps they could add one or two more ways or maybe make the three methods evolve throughout the sequences or even have them about in a black box mission as ways of gaining intel as you try to plan your kill your way.
This game started it all and has the best writing regarding combating philosophies of the Assassins and Templars as well as great world building for modern day with your interactions with Warren, Lucy and the emails.
That would get them a lot of money from OG fans as well as possibly bring in new fans as it’s a new way to get started with the franchise since most of everything else is playable on last gen and current gen. They could even remake the DS game and Bloodlines as DLC if they want to support the game post launch.
I feel like this game deserves more respect from people who just write it off as “the first game that’s repetitive” because it’s so much more and I’m tired of it getting treated like an ugly duckling by Ubisoft.
Remake this game instead of ACIV, AC1 needs it more and deserves it just as much.
Thanks for listening to my little rant if anyone reads this three years too late comment on this appreciation fest of AC1.
Especially true when you consider this is the one classic game in the series that's not readily available on modern consoles, with Xbox being the only exception and solely due to backward-compatibility. AC1, not even as a remake, but the game by itself, is not playable on PS4, PS5 or Switch, all of which have a huge userbase. It's genuinely just baffling.
Alas, as it is the closest thing we're getting to that is Mirage, which is not that close at all, really. ^_^ Just atmosphere and "vibes" at best. Still counts for something, but definitely not the remake or rerelease players would like to have. One thing I also always mention when this topic comes up, is that I'm not sure how much I trust modern Ubisoft to recreate a classic Assassin's Creed game. There's a huge chance they miss the mark or don't understand what makes AC1 special, and thus fail to include certain things people really cherish.
@@LeoKRogue, I agree that modern Ubisoft don’t quite understand what made AC so special but I would like to think that if Mirage does well enough and the developers for it truly are fans of classic AC that perhaps there’s hope that we could get a remaster like AC3 got at least.
Perhaps there genuinely is love for the OG in the series from these guys but honestly I’m trying not to get excited for Mirage.
It’s also surprising that it’s not been re released as a low effort remaster just like Rogue got because it would be quite easy for them to do and I don’t see them losing money on doing it.
I can only hope that Altair will get his day in the spotlight again in the future before they make AC unrecognisable to anyone, Odyssey was too far but I think they’ll at one point take it further in the future because of their money hungry ways.
I appreciate the love and respect you give to AC, especially the first, as this is one that changed the landscape of gaming so to speak in terms of storytelling, world building and gameplay for us that enjoy a stealthier approach to games. I’ve enjoyed watching your content this past year or two and I hope to see you upload some VODs of you streaming Mirage if you do end up playing it.
Guess it's time to buy ac1 thanks leok
It's _always_ time to buy AC1. :D :D
If you want to know what Altaïr is saying when he starts a fight, search on RUclips Altaïr language
He says things roughly translated to "slow down," "take it easy," etc
Leo K [Rogue] and another is have at me
I feel like I’m listening to Cinemax after hours
hahaha
1:32:32 Dude sounded too like Leonardo da Vinci
Voiced by the same actor.
1:23:00 OMG that skip i didn't know!!!
I like to save them all, but i hate the dialog with the music that keeps sounding if you speak right after, plus the people's screams.
I've played like 5 times rescuing all, i know just it now hahahah.
Glad I could help. :D
It will be done is a common phrase in Islam by Prophets being given commands by Allah. So when Altair says it will be done what he's really saying is "your will be done" in a pseudo-religious adherence to Al Mualim. It's fucking creepy when you actually know this shit and it's just *so fucking good* writing that they never feel the need to like insult your intelligence to explain.
AC1 is to my mind the best-written game in the entire series, even now.
Quick question, it sounds stupid but in ac unity Bellec says that before Altair the Levantine assassins killed in broad daylight and sacrificed themselves in the process. Does that mean Altair introduced social stealth to the assassins? And did he make one of the 3 commandments that is to hide in plain sight?
No. The Assassin's Creed and its Tenets were developed before Altair's time, as was Social Stealth. Some early Lore files found in Abandoned Hidden Ones Bureaus throughout England in AC Valhalla hint at this already, so the full game will tell us even more.
However, Al Mualim took the Assassin Brotherhood in a more zealous, fanatical direction, since to him, any Assassins under him were merely tools. As such, he didn't necessarily care whether they lived or died, as long as they finished the jobs he gave them. "It matters not how we complete our task, only that it's done," Altair says to Malik in AC1's opening. This is in reference to that. Once Al Mualim was ousted, Altair was able to bring the Brotherhood back to a healthier way of operating, which valued all of its members, and humanity as a whole.
Leo K [Rogue] Right, thanks. I am very eager to see what Valhalla adds to the lore
You've played it 10 times? I probably played it 10 times before AC2 came out. My life kind of sounds sad
Your life is amazing. AC1 is my favorite game of all time.
@@LeoKRogue yeah, it's always awesome to play AC1. My favourite too
Stream: assassin's creed
RUclips: no it's "never stop sneakn"

Hey leok, I'm playing on PC, and my jumps seem to lose horizontal momentum sometimes when I jump from a high place. I have had v-sync on as many people with the same problem have suggested, but the problem pops up sometimes still and is really affecting my jumps. It doesnt't seem like you have this problem, so how should I have my settings?
I'm not sure, to be quite honest, since I've never actually experienced this myself, so I wouldn't even know exactly what to change to get rid of it. I do play AC1 capped at 60fps, so if your framerate is *much* higher, that could be a cause of it. I really wish I could offer more.
@@LeoKRogue My frame rate is capped at 60 yes. Honestly it only pops up if Im leaping off a building, normal parkour is just fine. I shall continue my search but thank you!
Do you still stream?
On Twitch yes, but not these days. Way too busy doing behind the scenes work. I'll start up again for TLoU2 and Ghost of Tsushima.

@@LeoKRogue Oh, thanks
Leo can ya air Assassinate even from mem. Block 2 ?
As soon as you have the Hidden Blade, I'm pretty sure.
@@LeoKRogue thanks !
1:07:53 wait that shit blew my fucking mind it seems so obvious once you say it but... wow
Assassin's Creed 1 did everything possible to transfer the player into Altair's headspace.
So many "old ways" fans that hate on everything past revelations smh
Also someone in the stream chat said a game w hijab wearing women is unique. This is cuz the assassins were a real religious group within Islam that would kill their targets in broad daylight. Bellec from unity refers to them, as he mentions the methods for assassination before Altair's time, which were basically suicide missions
It's quite amazing, yeah. And I agree, it can be a bit troublesome to talk to people who only ever care for the classics, but I understand their feelings and where they're coming from. You would feel the same too if the things you loved most were taken away from you. :)
I wouldn't include myself under that umbrella though, there's a lot I adore about the recent games and I definitely wish some people were more open-minded. This VOD is three years old so it's possible I've changed a bit since then, but that's how I feel right now.
Memory block 6 is so annoying, literally I knock down the main target and try to hit them but my hits aren’t registering....
D:
@@LeoKRogue I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it to sound harsh per se, I was just annoyed that the lady kept on dodging most of my hits, I’m past that now thank goodness, but I just came upon the twist! If you know what I mean....
I dooo ;)
Dumb people: “the parkour in AC1 is so slow, I couldn’t tolerate it”
Leo: 1:40:07
Zippyyy~
Could append JcersHabs' parkour montages to that as well.
Aw, shucks
I too cream over ac 1
Goooodd
5:25 he did not get to AC3.....
Yup. Too many important games came out around the time I was going to.
But it would've been like my sixth time playing AC3 anyway, and that game exhausts me just thinking about it ^__^"
Why had Ubisoft not hired you yet? 😂
I'm a RUclipsr, not a game developer. ^_^
@@LeoKRogue You could write scripts create ideas, keep the series on track 😂 Just thoughts. And appreciation for your passion.
