Altair and King Richard the Lionheart: Killing Robert de Sable in Arsuf (Assassin's Creed 1) 

So Altair had a soft spot for the ladies too :P

no the "fucking" took place years later after the events in assassins creed bloodlines, that is why it takes place in a completely different location fucking idiot.

+urunashua "faggot" brilliant terminology, I am now 100% sure your about 7 and weren't even born when this game came out hence why you have no prior and valid knowledge of any part of this series.

meh altair is awesome! he deserves some women ; )

Both of you, James Love and Urunashua called the other names. Something bothering you? Or are both of you simply abusing the anonymity of the internet? This started out as just a simple game discussion, how about we keep it like that.

Robert's pride finally got a kick to the balls, and I smirked at Richard's answer.

Rekt

I like the characters in this game, even the psychos who you kill. Gives me vibes of Indiana Jones and how some things are not meant to be disturbed. I also like how even though King Richard is your enemy technically as a Crusader, he does have enough honor to let you go after you have your fight. I actually don't envy him either, to know what Altair came to know, pretty much destroys people.

Jakimobob that meme with the school boy

suemorphplus2009 Altair could kill em all though 😂 King Richard probably knows it

Actually it's Henry IV

Edward III*

bruh I thought the knights where French, English and the German soldiers combined. That didn't make sense because I thought they were cunts to each other until I stumbled upon this, thanks!

We sadly have done what we have been doing ever since 90s. We devalued uniqueness in favor of trends. Spider Man gets adapted into a movie with its own unique spin; some runs decided to implement movie spins on the comics. FPS were on the rise and each one had their own qualities, soon they were all copying whatever attribute the other had and turn it into a gimick. AC while profitable and unique fell prey to Ubisoft's lazyness. They saw a product to be released yearly and eventually grew stale. Instead of taking their time and innovate they saw how games like the Witcher 3 were doing and decided to copy it rather than creating something. So yeah, this is a problem we have had FOR YEARS. We turn everything into a trend, grow accostume to it and subconciously reject new things because they are out of our confort zone.

@@stealthynaxo Yep, you got it right! This was the word or the sentence l had in my mind but didn't found it yet. It is those moments you know something but don't remember but when you see the answer, you suddenly remember everything. How the 90s and the PS2 era was full of unique games, it is impeccable. l remember a personal favorite of mine called "Lifeline" on the PS2; talk about a game that is only voice-controlled and had interactions with the main cast more successful done than recent modern games. Or how about Rome 1 Total War? The game full of details, unparalleled voice acting, growing your generals like children and not just RPG like trees. Thief; the king of stealth games with its immersive sound design and lot more. Deus Ex 1? Of course, my pleasure was augmented playing that. l could go on and on, thing is; we moved to the copy and paste era of mediocrity. There is always exceptions, l have to say this because everyone will come like crows to add this. The worst thing you could do to a game is to make it boring; it is fine it made you angry(bad games) or happy(good), some really bad games were so bad but had unique elements to them(though it is rare to see it). All l see is; humans were designed to be simple but we chase or, to say it better, we need to chase complications in our lives. How games were made with love before and were not after cow milkers to make money like today and insane graphics; that only increase the work needed to create a game where the time could be used to make cool details or developer's foresight like in Deus Ex 1. . l am not at all fascinated by games after 2010s(expections still apply, though really few). All the 'wow' emotions l had, were before said date. All this is surely subjective but some part of it, l am sure it applies to everyone.

Did you remember the second game after this one, where you fight the Pope underneath the Vatican with a "magic" staff who wants to meet God and take over the world. And did you remember the fact that Perseus, the Hero of Mycenae, who killed Medusa, was confirmed to be real and had a Sword of Eden in AC II as well?

@@travisoliver6741 In Ezio’s words, “I am only a conduit of a message that eludes my understanding”. Ezio was not only an assassin, but he was also human, just as much as any of us are. What made the AC series so good was how grounded yet ambiguous it was to each historical settings of each game and the philosophies and influences these installments had to offer. Ezio’s human nature allowed us to connect to him with how each historical and supernatural phenomenons essentially created impacts that we wish to fully understand. Like Ezio, we did not know what the apple of eden was. Our nature and knowledge is so limited to such powerful divinity that mysterious relics like the apple had to offer to us humans. Like Ezio, we are simply just humans who do not fully understand the wonders our world has to offer, and that tampering with such power like that can create severe consequences to the people affected by your actions. That is what Assassin’s Creed was all about.

The games are still.badass to me. Every ac video has got a variant of this same comment.

Considering that it's Altair, 8 men wasn't nearly enough to make it a fair fight.

His bitchslap or kick was strong enough to send guards flying!

Yeah, it wasn't a fair fight. For THEM.

Well if the mediator is more inclined to believe a person's claim, he can give that person a better advantage. Also, gameplay wise, it would be too damn easy of a boss fight if it was just Altair against one guy xD

maaz322 Well it's fair enough to altair aka ninja Arab guy

Two actually, AC Revelations allows you to play as Altair, for only 5 missions but still.

There was actually another game but it was for the PSP which was Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines which was set after this game with both Altair and Maria (his wife).

Four games AC: Altair chronicles (before the events of AC) Assassins Creed Assassins Creed Bloodlines (after the events of AC) Assassins Creed Revelations (some memories lived by Altair).

@@pedropelegrinialves9365 he got a good amount of games just like Ezio, i just hoped we could have a last one with him honestly

@@folo7595 Altair has some lore in AC2(used the apple to gain knowledge and to make some weapons), a book too(based on the first game).

Skelz0r yep

Yeah, the accents. Like Altair's American accent, that one really made the whole thing feel real.

TheShadowOfMadness explained by the Animus, also the voice actor was Arabian already lol. git fuqed

Soundtrack and the environment did a major role in its dark ambient feel.

Indeed, a whole different feeling from hollywood-inspired last installations of AC. The feeling of... documentary movie, mixed with arthouse. Of course, this is no documentary (although, NOTHING is true and everything is possible), it's a mockumentary, but undoubtedly also an art piece. Deeply philosophical in nature as well.

savageproduction186 They were badass af.

When Templar’s were actually Templars. It’s also because Templars were seen as the best, so people would be like “We’re saved!” But then an Assassin is better than a Templar.

@@Mahsei not always. Altair was skilled enough to take on numerous Templars, but some random schmuck assassin would probably have a survival rate based on skills. If assassins were vastly superior why were the Templars such a threat to them?

@@Crashbmaster0 Yes Altair was literally the best in the creed and he knows it, part of why he's arrogant. A normal assassin probably would have a 50/50 percent chance against a templar depending on their skill. Much better if they rely more on stealth instead of 1 on 1 since a templar is primarily focused on sword skills rather than stealth.

@@Crashbmaster0 Not even sure if Altair could take multiple templars at once.You can see on the video that Robert De Sable took half of his life bar.Perhaps after acquiring the knowledge of the piece of eden,Altair might have been able to take multiple Templars.But here? Not at all.As for the Templar order,they were as extreme as the Assassins in terms of training.There were severe physical punishments for desobedience.

Well no f*cking sh+t he wasn't hit. If he did, he would've been killed.

It mostly likey wasn't intentional because there wasn't really healing in ac1

@@fatcrylover4612 It was also never confirmed nor denied, so it's up to the interpretation of the fans. "Altair was never hit once" theory adds more to his legend, explaining why he was worshipped so much by the Creed.

Obviously

@@fatcrylover4612 it definitely was intentional. They could’ve given him a health bar as they did with everyone else.

д р у г lmao

Me too.

I did the same

Hackerman

Atharva Naik oh yeah

ARB6769 I played all of them except the first xD

IBHA THN you need to play it

Másturbation ?

Yeah the story is great, the gameplay is pretty repetitive but it was made in 2007 so can’t really complain

altäir

I disagree. Ac2 had the best story. Ac1 was a bit all over the place

@@blkwng I don't understand how you can come to this statement. No matter which story is your favorite, AC2 is all over the place in comparison, AC1 keeps things pretty simple and straight forward

+Richard The Lionheart your grace i heard of a crusade who protect the a musilim family from beig hangded should i kill him

I am ready to pledge my sword to you my leash.

...my leash? Did you really just call King Richard something you put on dogs? I think you mean "My liege". =|

Imperial Guardsmen 😂😂 your the best

As do I

Ironically Altair's conception of free will and how he denies basic human nature is debated by Haytham Kenway in Ac3.

​@@ace9924What does Haytham says instead ?

@skaynne54 basically that Human beings don't want power or independence and they only have an illusion of it.

@@ace9924 Probably didn't need to repeat yourself.

i think they are finally getting back to it, at least a little bit. But I'm not complaining, I love to see all these different places, better than being stuck in around 200 years of time in the same area

Ariok they already did that though.

Now we need to kill a fucking Minotaur

@@lemmingtonofficial i miss crusades too

Martin Pastorek Sadly its end od historicaly correct assassin's Creed. Just imagine crushades with full armored woman warrior. Its would be a laughable game. Woman as assassin's is great idea, but female crushaders are just trash idea, but we all know what ubi will do. And i know about Maria from AC 1 but it was stupid too.

I trained to use the hidden blade for counters and killed everyone of them without losing a bar

To be fair it was just the Templar knights and not Richard's who joined the fight, but yeah it should have been a one on one fight.

Against altair? Are u serious

hellowhat890 It would’ve been that’s what Richard wanted but Robert got his Templar’s on you

Hesusfkr and they were de sable's best knights

I like how Altair has an American accent 500 years before it even appeared

Well thats the animus for you

Technically he is french together with the rest of the English nobility. Only the peasants and some remnants of the Anglo-Saxon elite who bended the knee were "English".

Yeah I thought that was really cool! But what were they thinking for Altair lol at least they retconned it in Revelations

Lucy explained that they set up the voices in the animus that way so that Desmond would understand it better.

Evaquiel the graphics are shit. For its time, it was ok

The graphics was better than ACII

Altaïr is not just my favorite Assassin. He's my favorite character of all game characters ☆ Since my childhood! People are not admired by wise men they like charismatic people like Ezio...

@@SkarletBloodthirsty they liked Ezio because he was very much a player. Altair was wise and that's why i like him, he did not get distracted by chicks 😂😂

graphics were better than AC2, i dunno why but that game AC2's visual aged terribly. while AC brotherhood to this day looks pretty af and even AC1 looks downright atmospheric and has an unique aesthetic that is pleasant tonthe eyes

BboyZoinks Ezio took down the Pope.

ilovepizz Erm, maybe the reason why Ezio became a master assassin at age 40+ is because he only became an assassin at age 17? Altair was born into the Brotherhood and has been trained since he was young. And being an assassin isn't how you can kill a lot of people, is how you can kill a lot of people without getting attention. Ezio being discreet was just following the rules of an assassin. "We work in the dark to serve the light."

BboyZoinks Well his bodycount isnt as much as Haytham so Templar wins

Technically, Ezio didn't take down the Pope. He let him live in AC2, which went on to have enormous consequences (as shown in the opening sequence of AC:B). Altair actually killed his target.

AND became a master assassin at the age of 18, he was demoted by Al Mualim and started again

I'd say that both Salahuddin and Genghis Khan were more remarkable, in different ways however.

Salahaddin>

@@jay-z2716 richard beat saladin every time they fought

@@mohamedalahmadani5174 dont put genghis and saladin in the same sentence

@@pooroldman5089 I guess you’re right. Salahuddin was described to have the highest of character and honor. While Genghis Khan was a bloodthirsty warlord who single-handedly reduced the world’s human population by killing many innocents. One left respect where he went and the other left mountains of corpses.

iWillWakeYouUp Ikr tell these idiots

Indeed friend, or even Roman Empire with Octavian Augustus, or Japan at Edo Period?

Batz u basically want AC to move MORE forward lol

I want Roman Empire, WW2, or even the Scottish Wars of Independence. I can see them doing a game of the War on Terror though

If the writing is as awful as the latest games, it won't change much

I honestly think AC1 was one of the best in terms of atmosphere, you know shit is serious around Altair, he's not playing the assassin compared to syndicate for example where you just see 2 kids fooling around taking everything lightly

You feel the arab man and his difference in view. Tired of playing the fragile Eu dude

I am also getting AC1 vibes.

Why do you say it was total bullshit. I would like to know your opinion.

+Patricé Prass As a gaming experience it a had many flaws, but it was epic.

Ah. AC1 - AC Revelations, the power of an Op yet balanced a bit Counter system which then turn unbalanced and even more OP is AC3 to Rogue which gets removed almost entirely in Unity onward. Miss those days

I like it more than ac2 where you just spam counters with hidden blades since every other weapon is definitely inferior.

The first game felt incredibly weighty. The sound effects and the brutal animations were way ahead of their time. With AC3 and 4 especially the combat lost any sense of weight as you can just spam the attack button with swings flying all over the place. In AC1 especially strikes were slow and lethal and they felt like it. I know some people complain about waiting around to counter but I love it. Nothing feels better than slowly taking down a huge group one by one until the last few run away out of fear.

@@EldritchAugurI don’t like Waiting around for each to come, it is unrealistic, enemies should be more aggressive and 2-3 enemies should attack you at once, and ofc you counter all 3 with a cool animation and sword play.

Last time Altair's appearance got updated he stopped being Altair.

Duh

NewVegasNerd "Our choices make us who we are"- Andrew Ryan

They repeat after Altaïr

Green goblin?

ac2 had the same combat. brotherhood is where they went all batman on us

@@Blackhawk211 but AC1 is waaay harder to counter than ac2.

Did you know it has a synchronization bar and not a health bar which means all the times you play as altair he was never actually hit.

@@m3rl1on yeah in ac2 it was too easy and smooth. But ac1 was tough you don't automatically go to another NPC like a killing spree was unlocked you take on one by one

Sławoj Ch It had an interesting mystery story that kept me interested, that’s for sure. The quality of Assassin’s Creed IMO has dropped after AC2. This one had a combat system I liked because it involved actually timing the pushing of buttons to block or counter enemy attacks and was more difficult than the sequels.

@@KaosNova2 I agree. The combat still wasn’t necessarily “difficult”, but even as OP as countering still was you still had to time it correctly or you were going to get hit. Where as AC2 on you could have the worst timing ever on a counter and it would still register as an instakill

Practiti0ner yes!!!

Practiti0ner I love the combat system of the abstergo animus I wish they brought it back somehow

the physics too , omg the ragdoll in ac 1 is top quality

It feels like smoother controls in this game. At least on the PC.

Personally I prefer 2 for the setting, characters, story, and the gameplay additions, but to each his own.

Bryan Wheelock assasin?

Both sides of this wad had their cowards and their badasses. :) Back when one could still feel respect for an enemy...

Yeah Robert was easily my favorite Templar in any of the games. Even liked him more than Haytham Kenway

paradisecityX0 That's not exactly arrogant...he's had a lot more training than those other guards, so that was his justification because he REALLY was a better fighter xD

Mr_Limonka So is yours, and who tf cares?? I'm not here to argue anyways, just thought I'd share my opinion, bye hypocrite 👋

Meg Griffin meg who let you back into the house XD

Vladislav He definitely is.

MF Doom Metal Face Doom

Randy completely agreed

But this one made no sense, it was an american accent in the middle east

They actually explained that in the first one. Accents were altered in Desmond's recollection to modern accents in order to represent familiarity.

Bos That’s because the animus altered accents to make more sense to Desmond ....

He sounded like a calmer version of Connor lol

Very true. This was just one of dozens of dialogues in the game, but every single one was better than whatever the fuck this nonsense in Origins or Odyssey is.

+Xpert Gamer hahahaha he gets beaten up

Richard *_Cœur de Lion_* >>> Richard Lionheart

Copyrighted music issues.

It was intentional by Ubisoft. The first Animus had to save some memory in order to work properly ( something like that, it has been years since I played it). In the present day Desmond gets this explanation from Lucy when you interact with her.

lol no it's just an old game. Tbh the audio recording here is kinda bad.

It’s sooo annoyingggg

This game was over 10 years old, give it some credit

and your switching skills m8 you could have easily taken him down by countering and then switching to hidden blade to knife him in the face

Outlaw Jaw your right bout the countering but I think he tried to make the vid badass

"Skills"

+Mazhar Imam I like how you mention how backwards and corrupt Christianity and Judaism is but you fail to also mention how backwards and corrupt Islam is.

You can be whatever you want, christian, muslim etc but it may become a mental problem,as The Assassins Creed said.

The Assassins Creed said that and I just reply his comment

But the Brotherhood levels of BS were still priceless in their own twisted way. Chain kills, anyone?

Literally all you had to do was keep countering. That's not an Art that's lazy

***** terrible*

***** no apologizes please, I love it! But I didn't think that Robert talks like that. In Russian versions of games actors usually speak without accents so I was shocked when I saw this video

Julia Voronenkova Вот поэтому я и играю в английские версии. :)

***** yep that's what you are. terrible in writing English

it's exgerated french accent xD

not really, but it was better than what was to come later

Legendarydrago123 not even

Now that's just bullshit nostalgia

No,its the best imo

It did take some skill for combat in this game. Later games dumbed down combat to require less skill. Blocking and counterattack is much easier in AC2 onward than in this one.

suemorphplus2009 yeah but they scrapped that from Unity onward so you couldn't just counter kill 10 guys in a row

Bu oyun bir efsane kardeşim zaten assassins creed serisinin en iyi oyunu

An unfair fight..... For them.

Agreed
