Why Assassins Are STILL So Good AT What They Do 

Who’s cooler, older assassins or newer ones

Fighting for freedom against tyranny is what sets the brotherhood apart. "You would see all of mankind corralled into a neatly furnished prison, save and sober ....... yet dulled beyond reason and sapped of all spirit." Edward Kenway

If you think in Syndicate ,Evie plays like an olden era assassin who wanted to go quietly about her like even If she assassinated a few in public she had a few mission to stay undetected things while Jacob wanted to create an influence, fear into the enemies. And politics is shown very well in AC revelations too the way ezio chooses to assassinate there is very fascinating.

2:35 Your point about the trend line is SPOT ON! I think something that's really difficult about AC is everyone wants A. a new setting and B. to retain everything they liked about the old setting but could you imagine the rope launcher or something in the RPG series? It would just be silly! Or how about AC1's buildings in Unity? When you have a series that changes the way AC does from instalment to instalment you can't have a linear progression of EVERY mechanic and still fit thematically into the setting. As frustrating as it is I think it's the main aspect that keeps people talking about the series and curious to see what the next one will be like even though "they're all the same". Great vid! I'm curious if there are any other assassin's you'd be interested in talking about. Like, 'Is Third Echelon the modern day brotherhood or is Sam Fisher an unwitting Templar?'

They become assassins Because if the drip

I think the best depiction of what an assassin would be like comes from the movie Serenity. The Operative is a man who wholeheartedly believes what he does is evil, and that men like him have no place in the kind of world he wants to create. The kind of man who would commit suicide the minute he believes his work is done, because what he represents is the tyrannical means to an end he would never allow himself to be a part of. A future he doesnt deserve to be part of, but until that future comes he is all too willing to do whatever it takes to get there. The Operative obviously takes it further than the assassins, willing to slaughter women and children for the slightest benefit to his cause, but his keen moral awareness at the horror and suffering he brings in his wake without even a shred of regret is the epitome of the assassin in my mind. A monster whose actions may foster positive change, but a monster all the same.

I think Yasuke will make an amazing hero. In the trailer he brought Nabunaga the most heads. Not everyone can survive to be an assassin. I can't wait for the future ones, though they are in great company.

Really off topic but unity is the only ac game that actually has a skill level. It’s so fun to watch a good unity player.

You get so deep into the lore, thank you for that dude 😊

I can't help but feel like the bad guys when i play most AC Games.

Love your content broo

I've found your channel like a week ago and I love the content. Keep it up!!

Along with the politics of assassins there is also how finance subtly plays an increased role in the game, showcasing how the image of the assassins is often split not only with morals and politics, but with financial capabilities. Note how in some of the games money is needed and earned while in others raw materials and resources are needed for upgrades. In ac1 upgrades were given as rewards but in a few of the later games money became a key feature to acquiring upgrades. But in the prequel games while money is used, materials can also be gathered to upgrade equipment. Just something I’ve noticed

Very interesting the distinction that you make between the "older" Assassins and the "newer" ones. This constant change between time and setting, and thus the politics and weaponry of each era and region, is part of what makes Assassin's Creed so unique and interesting in contrast to other stealth, action game franchises. How many games like AC III or Unity exist, for example....?

I wish ubisoft actually explored all of this deep lore seriously. Instead they put a demigod that kicks around bad guys and has a magic spear in an assasins creed game

impatiently waited for this video! did the templars also went through something similar? a change in how they act, how they use their power?

I really interested in seeing you do a tier list for the AC games. I like when AC content creators do this to gage their overall view on the franchise. I feel I'd disagree with your Syndicate placement judging on what you said about the game lol. Gotta say it is at least nice to have a AC game with the Unity systems and visuals bit that isn't utterly broken and that has a fully functional stealth system.

I think you can really see this when looking at AC Syndicate. Jacob literally almost broke the British economy because of his reckless actions and killing.

Another masterpiece of a video

I wonder how they would adapt this into an AC during WWII or a more current era compared to Syndicate, the stealth,parkour and combat plus of course which figures would side with the Assassins.

Man I want a modern AC game so bad, it could be really great if done right

Off topic but I'd love to play an ac as hasan sabbah (1st assassin irl). Irl he had absurdly loyal assassins (to the point ppl called them hashashiyin(assassin)-basically meaning weed smokers and theyd do very brutal public assassinations to raise awareness and spread fear. He lived ab 50-100yrs b4 ac1 In the game u would start as a kid training and ur dad's saying ur basically the last assassin so u need to form a brotherhood. U spend the game building ur brotherhood and brutally killing like irl and ur 2 most loyal assassins r al Mualim and altairs dad who both see u as their father Last mission, altairs dad snakes u and u and mualim kill him then as he's dying he's saying ur not following the tenants of the creed and ur using the apple to make us loyal (explaining the hashashiyin thing) and killing innocents in ur public massacres. Ur quite old now and ponder over what he said and realise hes right so u hide the apple or sm and change the assassinations to be how we know the creed to act in other games to show how the creed got from irl to altair. Also al mualim decides to adopt altair and basically tell him ur dad was killed by templars so become an assassin which is how we get to that game.

Great video, I would like to know what’s your opinion on the assassins creed movie I know some people have mixed feelings about it but I think there were some things that the film did right. Even though it was a colossal fuck up for Ubisoft I hope that they learned their lesson and I hope they deliver with their Netflix series Something that I love about assassins is that they are good at finding out what the Templars are doing for example Ezio snakes into the meeting quietly and then he reports them to the assassins. I noticed that the Borgia family members are sort of politicians they want Italy to be corrupt.

Fantastic as always You've touched upon something that i feel alone in That arno is one of the most skilled assassin (u didnt say that but you talked about arno)he is pure assassin material and nearly never failed to assassinate a target stealthily He might not be everyones favourite But the kids got potential no other assassin in the series has

Keep making kick ass thumbnails and more I'm gonna inevitably replicate that style. I swear smh

I think more missions in ac games should have been full stealth and not just go in kill the templar and escape

Hey @TheSpaniardAssassin, what type of story would you like to see for a future assassins creed game?

"He was almost a politician first and an assassin second." I like to think that I'm equal parts anarchist as well as assassin. After all horizontal power structures are what both of those things fight for.

What’s ur opinion on Valhalla personally I loved it as game

Do you think we’d ever get an AC game in the modern era ? Maybe it would be in the hitman style but I’d rly like to see how they do it

i want an assasins creed game in the cold war so every seceunce it would be a diffrent event like first secunce is late world war 2 then 2nd is space race then nam then the korean war and being a communist

hey man can you do a video with you dislike odyssey? it was my first ac game and i loved it and i wanna know why most people dont like it.

interesting. First time I ever thought of Assassins as socialist freedom fighters lmao I love it. I mean, if Abstergo went capitalist to control the masses it would make sense for the assassins to be the opposite. This is my own head canon of course. I had this thought because of what you said around the 2 minute mark lol

8:08 What game is this?

If only they didn't mess up with the Double Cross and losing 80% of their Brotherhood. I really want too see the modern Assassin's work in the modern times and not just into Hacking.

Is it drugs? I bet its drugs.

are you Altair stealth??

Poltics? Nice video

Belec in unity the opposite he cares little if anything for politics

What’s the outfit bro need that

Whats with the ai thumbnails

IMO assassins are objectively terrorists.
