​@@WSendam Oh I member. Member Chewbacca?

No, no I don't think will

Raid shadow legends?

No thanks

Its only been 4 years, jesus😅

Raid was there when we were born.

And yet I still haven’t played RAID

@@WSendam lol same

There is no fucking shot that it’s only been four years. :o

I was one of those people

@@johnlewis3891 Pretty proud bout it, huh? :P

@@DonnieDuck02 No. I wasted 💰 for that boring 🎥

I got sick af when I went to see this like up all night sleep hallucinating. I don't even remember any of it

LoL it was so boring

Honestly, you probably made it more enjoyable. Sometimes excitement is contagious.

Sounds obnoxious

If the 5 other people didn't walk out etc the moment you two got too into yourselves while watching it then it's a bizarre but fun experience for all of you together that one screening.

​@@MollyHJohns that would be the only memorable part of the movie.

This movie was actually pretty great. I loved it.

3 and 4 were also pretty good (I could agree with the modern days not being great tho) But yeah after 4 it just all went downhill imo

will say syndicate wasn't bad the twins were good as well and if you didn't play through odyssey well that was an insane story too and the lore makes sense because your character holds a piece of Eden through out the entire game that's why your so OP but then Valhalla came and was just so boring didn't think Vikings could be boring

@@browski2123 Sydicate was kind mediocre tbh, tho I liked it Odyssey tho, it's horrible because of how it messes up with the lore and how hard it tries to be funny but isn't. The story was meh too tbh.

Tv show would be cooler imo

Yeah it’s too long-winded a trilogy for films, would make more sense as a television series

I don't think the actual assassin in the movie actually has any lines

Exactly my experience. I was so confused, then dissapointed, when it ended

saaaame lmao

The EXACT same experience as me lol. We went as a group to watch the movies, not particularly hyped, but somewhat hopeful. Then left laughing because the movie had the audacity to sequel bait.

@@sammykent5752 Yeah. At that point that was some of the most misplaced optimism I'd seen.

@@cactusmalone Can’t even remember the marketing to this one but I do feel like if it was Desmond’s story and made it clear in the trailers, probably would of done better. I didn’t even see this one and I was a die hard AC fan from 1 to Origins. Cheers!

I give it credit for branching out. Re-treading the same old story over and over gets old af and the lack of a modern timeline or characters to give a shit about just removes the whole point of the story in the first place. It was nice to see another ancestral lineage of assassins, it gets pretty unbelievable having every single notable assassin come from one family who all find the major plot devices and are spread throughout every major historical location related to the plot. It makes sense Abstergo would have other projects with other subjects from different lineages.

Honestly, making AC1 story with a sprinkle of extra psychological horror (especially in abstergo) and changing the story from a hit list for a less repetitive story could lend a really good movie

@Cactus Malone it's kinda the twist in 1, the templars and assassins are still fighting, it works really well

@Cactus Malone from what I can tell, by the end of AC1 Desmond figures out that abstergo are templars (also right in the beginning of the game is told that Desmond is no ordinary bartender, he was born as an assassin), and the assassins make a failed move to rescue Desmond from abstergo, however, Lucy breaks Desmond out, it's an interesting plot twist, that abstergo are the same guys you are fighting in the animus Edit: she just keeps Desmond alive in AC1, so she has time to break him out in AC2

Dude that's really damn cool, it honestly sounds like that was a blast! Is Spain a beautiful place to live?

the actual assassin parts were great... the abstergo stuff as per usual was so unnecessary and such a borefest

Yeah maybe. But the arm animus wasnt a bad idea either I think, more dinamic than the dude just lying there, the old animus works fine for the game since Desmond doesnt do much, but for an action movie I think it was a good choice

I saw it with my dad when it came out in theaters. It was a decent action flick.

Same!! I didn't think it was *that* bad as everyone said it was when it came out but lol

​@@XxGamer42069xX The games have the same lame ass issue too tbf lmaooo

The fights scenes were pretty cool, only problem I had with them was that they kept switching back and fourth between past and present

Yeah, it doesn't seem horrible, just meh.

This movie was f*cking awful. A bastardization of the game franchise as well. This was a 1.4/10 movie. They should not have released that. I honestly wished I never existed. And I’m rarely this doomer about movies

@@dime1012 Chill tf out.

@@honest_126 no. For what reason? I am certainly not chill about how negatively I feel about this movie. You expect me to “be chill” about something because you told me to😆they released garbage into the world off a popular game ip for $💀😭

That's actually addressed in one of the games. In AC3 they mention that there's micro movements in the tissues that prevents them from going numb.

Not to mention the BLEEDING AFFECT

I mean that just makes it similar to the Matrix, but makes sense I guess

The designe of that animus and later the ygridsal device from the isu locking the same and both creating simulations made me wonder if the Generel of the Cross is a Isu who put his councies into the Grey and found a way to comunicate with templers at somepoint via an Pice of Eden and then createt Abstergo. Abstergos Symbol used to be connectet to the Isu. And baldre is hintet at beeing Alife inside a Simulation. It would also be full circel for the templers

THANK YOU

Prince of Persia might a better movie in adaptation of a game. No hate here.

JUST WATCHED THIS LAST NIGHT the sands of time movie was actually alright considering I only played one of the games back on PS2 and I barely remember it

Ironically AC is a franchise born from a sequel for Prince of Persia. They figured they were straying too far from POP's lore and decided to call it something new instead.

Yeah,GREAT movie ( white as snow Jake Gylenhaal plays an arabian dude)

AC1 was ok as the first game but honestly gets boring fast. Now Ezio games are great because you not only have a improved game in every way but get a interesting story and protagonist. Black Flag was fun because of a big change in environment and gameplay. You still had that feeling of polished game. Like just traveling across the sea and hearing your crew sing. After that AC games went to shit. Only few years ago I finished Syndicate because epic games gave it for free. It was again a big change in environment that made it fun but story felt like a big meaningless journey for a artifact that isn't as powerful as apple of eden. They should have just traveled across key points in time. Now they go back and forth between different points in history. Adding weak rpg mechanics and huge maps with 9999 boring tasks shit out across them. I don't understand how people are not tired from same shit over and over. Just look how many AC games exist. I played 6 and naturally feel fatigue.

@@grimoireweiss5203 Collectables have always been tedious, have you ever tried collecting all the feathers or flags in AC 1 and the ezio trilogy? Also the final Florence Arc in AC 2 is easily more boring than anything in new AC. Historical themes are still in AC by the way, they even have interactive history lessons now, if you don’t know what you’re talking about: shut up

​@@daxtonperry7208 its significantly more bearable when the map isnt the entirety of fucking greece. I do agree that the current games still have historical stuff, but they chose the most boring viking time period for Valhalla and its not even accurate. Vikings were not a friendly bunch. They pillaged and when they couldn't, they would trade.

@@daxtonperry7208 Collectibles have always existed in games. Your point? You see there were times when it was new. Vice City didn't have insanely interesting collectibles but it was ok because they were easily found collectibles. There are games that have good collectibles. Tell me my retard friend. How many AC games exist already? How many games exist that use same formula? I could name you few more examples of good collectibles but how about we use first Arkham Asylum game. You have many different collectibles. You have lore about Asylum, riddles that use Batman universe stuff and etc. These are examples of good collectibles. Metal Gear games have good collectibles too. Back in the day for example Assassin's Creed 2 collectibles were ok. You had a city and you searched for feathers or paintings. At least you got something after you found these feathers even if it was tedious. Even If I bough a weapon I won't use it still added value to my mansion that generated gold. Collectibles were not always tedious. Usually it was content for people who wanted more. What do we get now? Clear this outpost shit style stuff. Now they create huge maps and obvious obstacles to force you to buy exp boosts because they added unnecessary rpg mechanics. Do you realize that newer Assassin's Creed games like Valhalla are not really about assassins. You can just slap any other title. Anyway I don't know about what "historical lessons" you are talking about. You clearly have no idea what old gaming was and what modern gaming is. You will suck a wiener because you love Assassins Creed 24 when it clearly lost it's soul long time ago. I often find funny stuff when I click other peoples profiles but yours was just pure cringe. I even go so far to say that it's special kind of cringe. Proof that not anyone can be comedian.

@@dovydascep6021 lol did you play the game? I wouldn’t call all the vikings friendly, and they did a lot more than pillage, vikings is just a name we give an entire nation of people at the time. You don’t think they ever got along with someone? And calling it a boring time is completely subjective, I find it fascinating. If you don’t, fine, don’t play the game, but don’t say it’s a bad game and that it’s not “assassins creed” anymore.

I had the PSP copy for that movie and found it a really cool idea. I didn't realize it bombed

Didn't just close the studio, it nearly killed Square altogether. They were forced to merge with Enix to survive and the failure resulted in Hironobu Sakaguchi (the father of the franchise) leaving the company out of shame.

I freakin LOVED that movie as a kid. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I leaned the movie was generally seen as terrible and bombed in theaters lol

Yeah the hype around it being so hyper realistic is hilarious when you look at it.

It’s still dumb that the people working at the facility would essentially make people use a machine that can, by proxy, turn them into a threat.

@@TonyQuinn well if I remember correctly the bleeding effect isn't all good there's a chance that the animus just absorbs your concussions and kills your body leaving that person stuck in a limbo forever.there was also the seizures it gives but you know not as dangerous as the previous thing but still there also is basically guaranteed to happen

don't even remember if they explain it with something in the movie. they just have the protagonist see Aguilar walking around from time to time and then trying to kill him, but no scene actually saying "He's 'Bleeding' the past life, put him down till it stabilizes" or a "Shit, why did this one start so quick" since the guy spent maybe a week at that facility

@@badasscrusader not just seizures but the person would become sick and see stuff sometimes because they desynchronized. It actually has effects on the user if they don't everything exactly like the ancestor.

Yeah exactly lol. He’s talking about how the movie is bad but he literally at the beginning of the video admitted to knowing nothing about the lore. Yeah lets criticize the lore that i know nothing about. That in on its own basically dismisses whatever opinion he could have on the movie.

the ezio trilogy especially

😆 😢 😭 🤣 😂 😃

I am one of the few that never forgot, even before this video. But the reason why I didn’t forget is because I was one of the few who seemed to enjoy it. I wouldn’t say that it’s perfect but I also wouldn’t say it’s terrible either. I think some people are a bit harsh because they want the perfect movie. Every year or two I come back to the movie, but only in hope that a new one comes out soon (a better one to be more precise).

Same bro I loved it

I loved it!

Yeah I loved it the past scenes were all awesome and it follows the plot of the games. The apple was always something they were searching for so idk why people be confused

Same here i like it too

Nothing wrong with that! Enjoy what you enjoy and don't let people tell you it's incorrect. Every bad movie has its fans :)

I absolutely love the Black Flag novel.

They have to make the games way more stealth focused, and way more technological for it to be believable

Modern day Ac would basically be like the watch dogs games. They even had a modern day AC dlc set in the watch dogs universe. It was pretty cool

Same

its called the bleeding effect in the games

I loved the movie. Simple but done very well

Because he's a casual lol. The story is actually amazing and innovating. It's what sucked us real fans all in. People who don't care about the modern day are casuals.

Because it's not really anything special, especially after the 3rd game lol. Plus it feels like ubisoft throws as much in to try to distract you from the plot as possible. AC is like a collectathon game, but with some combat, parkour, and 'sneak 5ft behind two characters talking for 10 minutes'.

@@emstink I mean, AC 4 had a super good story, like one of the best imo, then AC unity and Syndicate were alright, nothing too big there. But then origins comes in and damn that story is good

@Brandon Guevara lol your responding to another casual. I don't know why so many casuals love to speak on this game like they're really into it. I guess the hype and popularity draws them in. So they can be a part of the hype train or something. Elvis is a huge clout chaser. A former leafy clone that stabbed him in the back. So it makes sense why he would act like he's into AC. The first few things that came out of his mouth was cringe. It screamed try hard.

@THIZZAVELI the story is amazing only with the first 3. 4 and BF are fun but meh storywise, the rest I genuinely don't remember

Yea tbh I don't think the story of these games is that lacking, I can't really speak for any of the ones after Rogue tho as after that the games kinda went off the rails a bit

I don't think he meant the stories withen the history, I think he meant more of the whole thing between the assassins and the templers I do remember couple of the storylines withen the old games which were fairly decent, the whole Kenway family ark that happend on the span of 3 games was really great

​@@dorxly Kinda hard to tell.

@@dorxly fair enough I guess, although I kinda felt the first couple of games cleared it up pretty well. Most of the actual lore happens in the non-animus sections iirc so I feel lile people maybe don't pay too much attention during those parts because they're not as exciting. It helps a tremendous amount if you read the little logs you can find in the non-animus sections, especially during AC4

@@EdgingYoda I totally agree, because I was one of those people, I remember hardly caring for the non-animus parts, especially after the death of Desmond and the only reason I liked the parts of his non-animus adventures because his parts had actual gameplay, the usual parkor and fight snippets here and there, which actually made me excited for an assassins creed game in modern time and then they messed that up with turning it into a walking simulator

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Then why does no one pay attention to it? Let's be real, because it's pretty boring

@@rafaelsalzmann4075 Most people I know enjoy the stories set in the past, people just don't like the modern day stories.

It's been out for 2 min....

@@Vortilify sir if you have a complaint I highly suggest leaving - Gus Fring

@@WSendam don't care

The only one I've fallen asleep in theatre is John Wick 4 recently, I had binge watched the three movies before going to the theatres, that I got so tired and fell asleep and missed 1/3 of the movie

awkward

@@senritsujumpsuit6021 yea. It sure was.

@@JollyRanchersGrandma reminds me of a video of people being kicked from a rooftop in China for parkouring

@Senritsu} {Jumpsuit for me and my buddies it was mostly adults just yelling at us lol, we only ever got the cops called once and they just chewed us out for being shitheads

I took someone to see the original Blade movie on a first date. She was very anti violence. Boy, was that a disaster.

@@davidkymdell452 The movie was called Blade and it was about vampires. lmao That sounds like a hilarious date though looking back, I'm sure.

Sorry to hear that
