Assassin's Creed 4 - Tribute to Edward Kenway [HD] 

now he will always be known as a hero

@@Aryeed Kind of a late reply but it reminds me of a quote from Citizen Kane "If I wasn't rich I may have been a great man" It is kind of the same. Basically, what they are saying is that they have spent their lives only worried about money and being rich, but if money did not exist then they would be different because their goals wouldn't be based on getting rich themselves. They could have been good men but they were driven by greed. This is my opinion just what I think.

@@bullseyetheguy7562 Blackbeard said that. Not Kenway

@@crispymelon2114 my understanding from this quote is pirates always seek for freedom and gold. Without gold they only seek for freedom. To be free they fight against people who are against freedom so they become heroes.

One of the reasons i like Edward as a character in this game.

to be honest Edward was probably my favorite character in AC so far... i loved his story...

That's a very good story, far better than the "They killed my family so i am going to kill them all" thing in AC2 i don't think Unity will have a better story but i hope they will try to make interesting things.

that's what makes black flag my favorite story. He reminds of Altair so much which is the only other assassin that made me care what happened to them

This is like the best comment ever.

exactly

me too

Yes. And he was an amazing assassin

Maybe, it's definately between him and Ezio.

The man who became a legend!

@@DarkNorthEmperor goosebumps here

Jackdown saved their life then edward saves her life

I liked how he changed and realized his ways weren't right and decided to go a different path

Enters Ezio

HiddenAssassin32 Yeah but that's cheating. When discussing best AC protagonists, one must not include Altair and Ezio, for they would easily top the list. But if Edward was given three games to develop like Ezio has, I feel like he'd easily be better than Ezio too.

@@ricoco7891 ezio and altair are only the favorite because of nostalgia and they got alot of games

@@ricoco7891 even tho ac4 easily had better acting and emotion

Disagree, Ezio and Desmond are the best protagonists of all A.C Games, Edward was the best emotionally though.

Captain Jack Shut the fuck up the Kenways were the most tragic of the series

Thorin Lodbrøk and fuck off you hostile piece of shit

aron majid and then i wonder why he didnt get rank of Master Assassin ? Like Ezio did.

Abhishek Sathe he did but only after he went back to England

More honest word have never been spoken.

True man.. Very true..

When I play the AC games, I always respect the main character because each one has a different story and point of view. For example: Edward was a pirate, that's just how he was, his life. It doesn't make AC IV a pirate game. AC IV had more assassins than AC 3 actually.

Edward was never really an assassin. He just knew about them and took their principles and somewhat shaped them into his own version that made him happy. Don't get me wrong, I think AC4 was awesome, and Edward a true hero who did the assassins bidding without knowing about it. At the same time, I think Ubisoft orchestrated this entire story line (up until AC4) this way on purpose, to point out a level of irony that exists in today's modern culture/ I think Edward Kenway can relate to a lot of people in today's society, who want to break out on their own and take control of their life. I loved this video because it speaks of so many truths to even my own life. If you remember in the original AC, the creed was a strict code of conduct that every assassin must follow. Altair broke a few rules (which is where AC1 started) and then went on a confusing killing spree of "targets" with each one telling Altair their story. Altair was a true assassin who wanted to do the right thing. But you don't know this until you play through revelations, which caps off not only Ezio's story (technically) but also Altair's. Game 1 to Revelations will give you the depth of the true meaning of the Brotherhood of Assassins. My point is this - there are so many variations of this game at this point but that's what makes it beautiful. But ultimately, Ezio was the ultimate Philosopher of the assassins, and held his principles close to his heart and his mind. "To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic." - Ezio "true fans" as you put it, are mostly people who understood the creed from games 1 thru 3. Edward Kenway shook it all up, and in my opinion, despite being exactly what the "rules" might imply and doing it his own way (which I enjoyed,) might have offended those people because they know Edward was really just a pirate who "met" the assassins once or twice and was on his own selfish mission the entire game. The beginning of the game could even be considered a foreshadowing- he finds an actual Assassin and TAKES his clothes. He was a poser from the beginning. But the game has many truths on Edwards journey that much of us can relate to. On a side note, let's not forget that Haythem grew up to be a fucking Templar.

mate53 he technically becomes an assassin towards the end of the story, before he goes out to finish off the Torres' Templars

This is true, but it isn't so black and white. His reasons for becoming one were fairly selfish. What the assassins wanted was already something he would of had to do anyway and since they both wanted the same thing it was a no-brainer to go along with the whole thing. Although he did respect the Assassins and understood their way of life, even being brought in as one of their own because of his deeds (which favored the assassins heavily) I feel that he did not fully become, what we know from the old assassins creed ways, an actual full fledged Assassin. But you are right. He technically did become an assassin.

And sad thing is... Stede Bonnet, Blackbeard, Mary Read etc were all real people, and they died similarly if not exactly the same way they did in the game. Connecting to characters in this game is like connecting to real people in a manner of speaking.

Hessian they are real, if you look up blackbeard, they that he was shot at least 50 times and stabbed 50 times. Also with Mary read she did die in a prison.

Arno Dorian Uhm.... I said they were real, and I did say they died the same way. I'm not sure how you interpreted my post, but I said basically the exact same thing that you did.

I was saying that they did die the same way just Edward was never there.. YOU WERE WONDERING AS YOU SAID IT

Arno Dorian You're confusing me >.< If you agree with what I said, all you had to do was like the comment instead of boggling my brain like that ^.^ Also, I know Edward was not there.

Joker same man

im the best

Nah ezio is better

:)

While i love Edward, the best character is Ezio.

The end was so tragic and lovely at the same time.

That's deep bro

put that on a shirt

"Heroes always get remembered but you know legends never die!" Present if you get this reference 🍪

Shay patrick Cormac Yeah thats true 👍

Thats true

it made us all

Oh Jay well actually Connor had a wife and children who apparently leaves him. The kenways are just not lucky when it comes to life.

Thorin Lodbrøk Connor too was murdered

The Undertaker no he wasn’t

What are you saying connor never had a happy ending he also lost everything like his friends, his village, his people, his mother was died in front of him, he lost his best friend, he had to kill his own dad and also he lost Achilles who was also like a father to him connors story is so tragic

He died at 42 my guy. He was born in 1693 and died in 1735

*Edward Kenway.. Cause there are many Kenways!! ;)

Thanks man!

The old gang...it must be sad seeing your closest friends go.... Edward, killing Templars for a reason we can all respect!

Jack Brown i don't see why vane and jack were there. jack left him to die with vane, who went all crazy and lord of the flies on him. i wouldn't call either of them his closest friends

Me too

2020 same here mate

yea Edward Kenway, i m very sad becouse his dead is sooo sad..... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😫😫😥😥😵😵

*Stede Bonnet wasn't with Mary and Anne, it's not their child, he dies separately, execution by hanging. But yep, agreed.

Vector Didact And just for reasons like this, i just can't understand how people prefer ac ii to this

vane died in prison or hanged I think

Idk why rackhams death hit me so hard, just seeing him dead, helpless in a gibbet

Maybe we will :)

Assassin's Creed Univers I would be very grateful

Assassin's Creed Univers forgiveness is that I speak Spanish

cinthya lozano they did an Ultimate Tribute :)

+cinthya lozano I think it was the best story out of all the ac games

Damn just when i forgot about Phantom Pain you show up on a video i'm watching.. Can't wait to fulton those goats to mother base damn.

Arno is French but he has a British accent lmao so there's that

If there is one thing that i took from my most favourite story since MGS3 is to say "jaysus"

Thanks :)

Assassin's Creed Univers I made a playlist with ur tributes they are so fuckin epic ;...;

He wasn't the leader

Mustafa Gocmen he was a master assassin though

Yh but not a leader

+Assassin Hunter you templar

Actually I kill both Assassins and Templars sometimes are the Assassins the good guys and sometime the templars.

i liked connor better

Lol IKR?!?!? ;)

Same and Edward Kenway is my favorite assassin

+Raeyne Jaymeson What you're saying isn't wrong if he was talking about a better car or a fancier house, but I don't agree that he should settle on eating spoiled food and being cold all the time. While I go agree that Edward shouldn't have turned to pirating and should've focused on more honest work, he did need to do something to better the living conditions of both himself and his wife.

He had good intentions, but took the only way he thought he could

Hopefully we'll learn about his wife in the Last Maharajah DLC.

I agree with you, mate. If only the world could read all this. And all fallen and rising pirates can see this from where they are. The world was made for freedom, yet peoplesee freedom in captivity. If i do make it to the seas, the first thing i'll be thinking of is that black flag, and the way it led free men to freedom.

Not saying that i will pledge my life to piracy, but im just enhancing your view. And, who knows, maybe i will pledge my life to piracy.

could you explain more about how pirates were the good guys? i can agree that most of the rulers were terrible, but how would you consider killing innocent people and raiding their ships any better? i don't know a lot about pirates, so i'm asking this so i can learn more, not to try and prove you wrong

Greyz174 Well my friend, there are some pirates who were bad, just like Benjamin Hornigold. But, Charles Vane, Edward Teach(Blackbeard), Black Bart and others fought for freedom and justice. Why do you think that all of them were hanged? Because they killed people? Nah, because they were a threat to the kings and their plans were getting spoiled. Consider yourself at hm, Blackbeards place, can you see what happened and what they really did? If yes, then you will understand. Of course, i can't change your opinion if you think that they were killers, but I will tell you what they succeeded. The only thing that they did, was to kill and destroy an empire that was fighting for good. Yes, they died, but they died or a better future, as free men. With rules for everyone.

antonis735 still though...killing merchants for their cargo? that's not very just is it?

The Chuck Norris of Pirates yarr!

what happened

+Darren Butler He got stabbed at his mansion back in London by two mercenaries by order of Master Templar Reginald Birch who worked for Edward Kenway. It was the night of Haytham's birthday when they launched an attack by killing Edward, kidnapping Jennifer (daughter of Edward) and later educating Haytham to become a Templar.

+Berry B dam Edward was my favorite assassin

+Darren Butler Yes... mine too.

+Berry B Well thanks for that man I thought Haythem had chosen the Templars when he was young but they wrong for selling his daughter
