Ubisoft Have Made an AWFUL Mistake | Everything Wrong With Legacy of the First Blade Episode 3 

They could've just show the building of Alexandria but cLeArLy ThAt WaSn'T EgYpTiAn EnOuGh

The creed: "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. " Revelations: "To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and 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 we must live with the consequences, whether glorious or tragic." T.T Ubisoft: lets shit on all of it.

Remember when the crossbow was removed from the 1st game because it wasn't invented yet and was considered inauthentic? Those were the days. :D

Kassandra had 'true' Eagle Vision. Bayek had 'true' Eagle Vision. Aya did not have a pet eagle. Why was Bayek not the descendant instead?

Remember being a spotty teenager coming home after school and playing brotherhood non stop, the days...

Why is aya being made the main focus when bayek is by far a better character

In response to people’s defence of showing the pyramids being built and it being used to show a time jump: Why do you think it kept showing us different generations of Aya’s family? The different people walking forward with their back turned to the camera, are supposed to represent the time change. There is NO defence of Pyramids.

Fans:can we have a Edward sequel Ubisoft:no Fans:can we have a Shay sequel Ubisoft:no Fans:can we have a Bayek sequel Ubisoft:no Fans:then what can we have Ubisoft:AsSaSsIn'S cReEd OdYsSeY

"Hey man, can I renew my fishing license here, or do I have to go to a different department?" "All things are permitted." "Uh, so is that like, a yes?"

The funniest part is, on the loading screen for the AC: Origins Discovery Tour, there is fact that says that Cleopatra is as old as us as the Pyramids were to her.

Confirm Ancient kill

Compare the story telling, build-up, writing, emotion, and acting of when Kassandra‘s child is taken, compared to when Jack Marston is taken from the camp by the Braithwaites in RDR2. Says it all really.

next Assassin's Creed main character: Jesus Christ

Bayek killed most of the Templars in Egypt but why does Aya suddenly take the credit??

I believe Myrinne was also tainted in canon, meaning Kassandra's parents were both tainted, as in canon Alexios is only Kass's half brother on Myrinne's side, not to mention Leonidas also seemed to have an innate gift with the spear. Just thought I'd mention.

Glad you've accepted my argument that all the sanctuary assassins will be related. Also, you forgot to bring up that Kassandra having Aya makes no sense as to why we had to choose between Alexios or Kassandra to sequence the DNA, as the Animus should realize that Kassandra and Aya are related due Aya's DNA being sequenced and stored in origins. As far back as AC2 we saw that the animus can point out common ancestors between users even based on its internal database.

In the ending cutscene you can see the construction of the Great Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza, despite the fact that they should already be more than 2000 years old. Really Ubisoft?

No Edward Kenway sequel. No Bayek sequel. No Conor Kenway sequel. Instead... we got Odyssey. Let that set in.

I like that Bayek and Aya founded the brotherhood together but I don’t like how they are forcing her more when Bayek did all the work in Origins and he was the one who started the idea of the brotherhood with his speech in the game while Aya listened and she was kissing Cleopatra ass all the time, and some people don’t get that in Hidden Ones Bayek called her A Mentor not the Mentor because Bayek was called Mentor too in that dlc they both are the Mentors not just her, why I don’t get is what mentioning that had to do with talking about the Creed it felt forced to me

They have to remove the decision making it just ruins a lot about assassins creed and the Voice acting, and they should just focus on one story so they could make it amazing

Can we turn the pyramid thing into a meme? Can someone make a video of Evie and Jacob walking across London Bridge with Big Ben being built behind them?

The pyramids being built isn't even the worst part, they also showed the sphinx being built which some date back to around 4500 years BC, 2000 years before the pyramids of Giza were built. They got the Sphinx wrong by 4000 years!!!!!!

I just don't count this game as canon, or even part of the franchise

I was in Paris the other day and got a picture taken of me in front of the Eiffel Tower. Little did I know until I looked at the photos that night that it was under construction and still not completed.

I’ve been playing Odyssey and while playing it, it made me really miss the experience I had in Origins.

God AC Odyssey is just an assassin’s creed fan fiction. It literally has fan fiction writing levels of quality. The pyramid being built despite the fact they were 2,000 years old, being forced to have a kid in an RPG despite the fact you have the option to be gay, making the main character the single most important AC character, giving the character superpowers, making the character related to everybody ever. Like wtf next you’re gonna tell me Jesus Christ, William Shakespeare, Charles Darwin and George Washington were also all related to Kassandra

Some years ago I walked through London and saw the tower bridge being built...

what doesn't make sense is that Aya is the descendant of Kassandra/Alexios but Bayek is the one they seemed to set up as the bloodline progenitor for the current playable characters i.e. Ezio, Connor, Desmond etc. by giving him the scar on his lip....or was that just coincidence?

time between Cleopatra and Pyramids is more than our time and Cleopatra.

Yes, the mistake is called 'Killing Desmond and everything done after that'.

Ashraf please save us from our torment.

Ash save us

Here’s why I think people don’t understand how dumb it is that the pyramids were being built, and I’m going to use his analogy of ezio and the colosseum. In most history classes (that I’ve ever taken) we learn about Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, and the renaissance, grouper up just like that. What books and teachers leave out is that the time span of “Ancient Egypt” is longer than the beginning of the Ancient Roman civilization to the end of the renaissance... we learn about the pyramids, king tut and cleopatra never really understand that each of them are over 1000 years apart! So I think that’s why people are so okay with it.. they’re just like “it’s Ancient Egypt, its pyramids nstuff” opposes to “the colosseum is Ancient Rome, ezio was during the renaissance”

i think they knew that the pyramids were way before odyssey timeline, they were just stupid enough to think that the timelapse thing was cool.

When you remember that every really good assassins creed was made by ubi montreal while every shit one was made by quebec

I think I’ll just be skipping Assassin’s Creed until we get Ashraf’s next game. Because, I actually want to play a good game about Assassin’s Creed.

Your Gf pretty much defined every single ubisoft game in last few years.

Origins had better missions, better story, better characters, creative gameplay sections such as when you're buried in the sand

Game: Steals my child Me: Well. That kinda sucks.

4:47 "My girlfriend who I was playing with at the time..." haha, I love how you left this accidental blooper in the video.

People saying that you're just "a hater" are idiots, I really appreciate you talking about these issues with a franchise you love. We all want this franchise to be better.

Actually, "The Immortals" in that battle were the twin brothers. That's why they used plural, but again, they felt the same and weren't even developed in any sense, so we don't care about them

Lazerz:- Google says pyramids are built 2000 years before odessy Ubisoft:-(I need to cover this up)if u think Google is true, remember nothing is true

We need more people like LazerzZ, Fizhy, Tynamite, and LongEaredFox who have enough brain cells to realize that what Ubisoft is doing does not make any sense and is rediculous. And have the confidence to not care what morons have to say but, instead, speak their mind and say things how they are and give credit where it is due and criticism where it is deserved.

Can we all agree odessy is not cannon no matter what ubisoft say it's a shit game and it's ruined the series

Kassandra: what happened to my boy? Darius: he has been kidnapped! Kassandra: WHAT!? Darius: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Feels bad how this dlc kinda ruined origins

28:04 Assassins:So did you kill genghis khan? Quran gal:well...I killed his horse! Assassins:give this man a statue

Kassandra is Batman confirmed. I knew it all along

See The moment I saw the lead developer The moment I read it was an RPG with a bunch of choices That you could choose your gender And that it was forsaking Origins to do another damn prequel I knew this game would be a dumpster fire but in my mind "Cool as long as it's not related to Origins it's fine and I can pretend it doesn't exist" But they've gone and grabbed this pile of shit and smeared it onto Origins and it breaks my heart lmao What's next Aya's secret demigod child with Bayek is gonna run around Rome and end up giving birth to Giovanni Auditore's ancestor???

If you read the “The Immortals” description in the cultist menu , it mentions that he/they were not but a single man but twin brothers that many confused as a single man .

The dlc broke you aswell it's good to know that i was not the only one that started crying while looking at the origins case

I wish Ubisoft had done the Ancient Greek setting right :( It’s literally my favourite historical setting so I have to love the game whilst trying to ignore all it’s constant plot holes and flaws. It’s really hard to not dislike it when there’s a vocal majority all over media hating it.

I tried to find what else the writers for Odyssey had written. It's scary how minimal their writing credits are prior to Odyssey. This franchise has seen 10 years of meticulous writing and well researched history, and Ubisoft has clearly given it to people who don't understand that.

Do you know that King Leonidas never had a daughter who is Kassandra's mom but King Leonidas had a only one son and he died in 450 BCE i.e 20 years before AC Odyssey's event. You can see king Leonidas's son in 300 movie , king Leonias's son's name is Pleistarchus.

18:01 my God that sea spray coming at me looks awful.

Alexios was actually a lot better for this

When alexander the great invaded 3gypt he probally got his hands on the hidden blade and passed it on to potolemy as he was a general of alexander and then passed down to cleopatra

To maintain my sanity I just imagine the pyramids being built is acc just the animus is loading them in hahaha

makes dlc about the hidden blade. does not give kasandra hidden blade. slightly erked about that.

Ashraf Save Us

I think what may be confusing to whomever the heck was in charge of that part in the game regarding the pyramids is that the person was clearly not paying attention in history class and they thought B.C era worked like A.C era. Can one really be so dumb about a game focused on history? It’s defi becoming more clear that history is no longer one of the attractions to their games. I remember AC 2 and how they tried to be so historically accurate that it was cool to feel like this awesome character and feel like they were true to the era. Now it’s so overlooked, it makes me cry.

Odyssey’s entire story has been rather sloppy and subpar.

The thing about the series is that Patrice isn't there and it's obvious. The series use to have these interesting/clever ways of linking the past with present. Remember having to find the apple in the photos? Narratives like that has been missing for a while. That writing and story telling...I miss that. It seems like they just completely dropped the previous events, and for a bit it was confusing. So now when someone who really knows the series try to make sense of it, it contradicts. Still, I love AC but sometimes I just wish they went completely back to the drawing board and study the Desmond saga. There are times I've completely forgot about Layla and what she's doing sometimes while I was playing.

So what I gathered from the ending, as cool as the building of the pyramid and sphinx is , is that Darius didn't go to Egypt. He took alexios/kass' child to Persia and from there the child migrated. Mainly because most of the Greeks in origins migrated due to Alexander and his conquest (which in odyssey he's still a child I think) and remember Egypt was under Persia during odssey

AC just doesn't feel like it has that attention to detail like it used to have. I mean they don't even know their own lore. I mean I know there are people who like that, but for me personally I just can't get past it.

I'm surprised you didn't touch on something I noticed about Kassandra's relationship and baby. Back when the episode came out, there was a temporary upheaval because the Odyssey Protag was being forced into a heterosexual relationship, where before, the player was given pretty much free reign on that front. When the backlash happened, Ubisoft came out with an explanation, stating essentially "She needs to ensure the survival of the bloodline, otherwise we couldn't visit her with the Animus". Okay, nevermind the fact that, as you pointed out, this forced relationship comes out of nowhere and is not earned at all... It's BS, but not to my point, so, let's put that aside. But Ubisoft's excuse of "we need her DNA to survive in order to use the Animus, so she needs a kid", doesn't hold a drop of water. Why? BECAUSE THE DNA THAT ALLOWS FOR US TO VISIT KASSANDRA COMES FROM THE SPEAR! In fact, THAT's why you have a choice of characters in the FIRST PLACE! Because the spear contains 2 STRANDS OF DNA... KASSANDRA AND ALEXIOS. SO WHY, Oh WHY! Did we need to force her to have a child? Rant over.

Imagine to show the passage of time in black flag they show the islands of the west Indies emerging from the oceans

In response to the Immortals thing. Specifically it refers to two twin brothers in the order who were so indistinguishable people thought it was one man. The brothers together are referred to as The Immortals

Played through the main game of Odyssey, and honestly it was a chore to finish it. Mindless padding and grinding, forcing you to do silly uninteresting side quests to get to the end of the main story which again was divided in 3 parts in a weird way. I don't know how people call this the BEST AC game ever. Like What ??? Origins was 100 times better than this. Ubisoft needs to understand more is not always better

You ever think Ashraf gets mad? He keeps making these amazing, series defining games. Then the next one is a very very moderate improvement(sometimes?) of gameplay, with a pretty bad story? It would make me mad.

The main guy on this assassins creed game literally said”you don’t need to be an assassin for it to be an assassins creed game” with that I turned off the interview and I forgot this game even existed,Ubisoft is the worst company I’ve ever seen,no fan wanted this stupid game we all want to get back to the roots of the game so just give us what we want?litreally nobody wants this so why keep forcing it down our throat?that interview mentioned is on game informer 100 quick questions.

Can’t wait for AC3 remastered

One thing they could have done for the time lapse of Kassandra's descendants is show the pyramids deteriorate. We already see that in Origins, certain sections of The Pyramids are begining to chip off. The smooth marble layer have wide withered gaps in between them and the gold plating on the peak has a few imperfections showing through. Even though it would have been a slightly less notable sign of time passing by, it would have made sense. (Which is what the Odyssey writers were avoiding, I guess)

In 2021 Ash will lead his team in making an ultimate AC game featuring both Scandinavia and Japan as the setting in one game. Ubisoft has talked before about adding multiple time periods in one game. I think next year Ubisoft Sofia will test this idea out by having the game set most around 100AD with a new protagonist, but there will be flashbacks of Aya and Bayak.

I liked the DLC ending cutscene, it was pretty neat but it instantly made me question what the hell their reasoning behind building the pyramids was when they were already there. My best theory was that it was a sort of metaphor about the rise of a new generation and legacy? I dunno.

As soon as Odessy had a trailer I called it was gonna be bad. It was so obviously a cash grab and a terrible one at that. Ik im late to the party but I bought the gane recently for 20 bucks cause I refused until it was cheap and it was just as bad as I thought.

I didn’t like how kassandra didn’t tell her parents about the kid etc. like should been apart of the main game

I played it for the anniversary. It is such a casual effort. The real problem with Natakas is that they gave you options on how to deal with him. I viewed him as a thirsty sack, so my Kassandra took all the options to be dismissive & cold, so all the "moving" bits with Kass acting heart-broken was just hollow & bizarrely out of place. If they wanted it to be meaningful, they'd have written it as a proper story, more linear and defined without dialogue options. Remember that Kass/Alexios is immortal and dies in present day (which was just pointless & bizarre as well), so they could literally make her the mother of every single Assassin, including Desmond, as long as we haven't seen their mother (but not Connor).

I love your analogies in reference to the end montage with the pyramids.

Thank you for making this!! You said everything that bothered me with this dlc! I hope ubisoft can stop fucking up the lore and actually make a really good AC game. BTW bet Leonius is related to Aya and that's who we play next.

Ubisoft showing the passage of time: Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

You seem caught up on that symbolic scene and forgot that the Egyptians didn’t use scaffolding for the pyramids in Giza. Also, this symbolism was seen in a trailer for Origins.

Tbh, after knowing that Aya has Greek ancestry, and Odyssey was going to be set in Greece, I thought we'd look into an ancestor of Aya, because it's just like putting Desmond in the Animus with regards to reliving memories from 2400 years ago, which is basically 400 years ago for Aya. Not reading a handprint on a weapon It just bugs me that this was also give us a logical reason for SEEING Darius' past. I always thought the first mission of Origins could be the memories of Darius, as an ancestor of Bayek, showing a tutorial for sneaking and assassinating someone, then showing that the blade was passed down, or I was at least expecting to be able to relive Darius' memories when we found the second mummy because it had his blade, and I thought it would be best to either be his body, or for Aya to be a descendant.

You forgot that the shadows don't work like that in the time laps also. The shadows spin around the bloodline in perfect 45 angle degree. The ending had to be out of the house cinematic mistake.

LazerzZ I love your passion for this series because your feelings are exactly like mine. As a leader of the biggest AC community in Poland I can't stand the lore breaking in Odyssey. I love your videos so keep it up.

I got really pissed seeing the construction of the sphinx and the pyramids, considering Assassin's Creed used to pride itself on historical accuracy, this annoyed me immensely, a better way to do it would be have the sphinx and pyramids look in better condition and gradually lose colour or something so it shows how the monuments are decaying with time

How would u feel if odyssey was "decannonised"

The dialogue and the setup is so cheesy and stupid. I was cringing all the way through to the "sudden death" It really is the most shallow rushed BS I have ever played in ages.

Bayek was the founder of the Brotherhood not Aya

Seeing Cleopatra now is pretty normal in Vegas

Ubisoft just need to retcon the whole of odyssey tbh 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

You have put everything that I found wrong with this DLC into one video. I congratulate you for summing it all up

The Immortals was named that way because in their description it said they were twins thought as one and being in two places at once so as you fight it seems you are only fighting one man but you are fighting two that is why they are called the immortals Also in the quest named the simple life you walk around doing “nothing” because you are supposed to be living as any other citizen with Natakas so the quest shows you what has been happening and it also takes you back to the beginning of the game when you were just doing small pity jobs and living a simple life before the cult or hades and persephone so it is also a nostalgia thing. It is also a break from all of the fighting and action throughout the game And I u understand your frustration with the ending cinematic and the weird acting and the characters which I didn’t feel like that and I didn’t really care about the time difference even though it was wrong because it was so beautiful but your argument is still valid. And honestly some very dumb decisions were made and most everything else I didn’t touch in this comment I agree with and I think I like this game so much because I look at it from more of an Assassins creed game that is separate from the others but to each his own.I felt very immersed and did anything to keep it that way I absolutely loved all dlc and the game with well over 200 hours on it, max level 99, all storylines done(waiting for 3rd episode of the fate of Atlantis) all legendary armor and weapons maxed out adresdia, all massive locations and objectives complete and completion many times over 100% with most all of the Assassins creed games and 1 thousand plus total hours..... in all I feel very educated about the franchise and I have always been super in to all parts of history and knowing a lot about all religions and mythology’s so I feel my opinion is justified and should be respected also I respect you opinion and if you read all of this thank you

This is what happens when you don't care about the franchise you make, let greed drive you instead. This game shows both, but it's even worse here because Ubisoft decided to cross the same line. Other companies have crossed and interjected their politics into it. That's why she's the most important character in the franchises history, and Desmond is no longer the most important modern-day character. It's really sad to see the franchises fall this far, because it had the potential to be the greatest video game franchise in history, but instead it's become a complete joke, and shows how soulless the industry can be.

When you started to talk about the relationship buildup (6:15), that's when I 100% agreed with you. Legacy Of The First Blade never had a lot of depth to the connections between it's characters, you said it very well.

A line out of, "I, Robot" clearly sums up the devs in this situation. "You are the dumbest smart person I have ever met".

"the immortals" is like calling an assassin "assassin's creed"

Imagine for the 20th anniversary,Ubisoft releases a video with Desmond walking and all the games are being shown. Seems logical.

“The so and so” is called an epithet. As someone who studied classical civilisation, it’s been lovely to see Ubisoft get it right.
