I've been dancing with anticipation waiting for all the checks to finish running on this! Lots of fiddling with controls this episode, but regardless, I LOVED it. I'm so intrigued by the lore and concept. Can't wait to keep playing!
u have a LONG, long journey to make, but it will be a great one, and i know u will GREATLY enjoy it as much as i do
Unfortunately, there's no subtitles for the first game specifically. And I believe, most of the players struggled with the controls and all the hilarious v-sync bugs, myself included.
I'm sure you'll have fun with the series. Also, wondering whether you'll recognize Al Mualim's voice actor, there's another mentor-like character you've met in a certain game before. :)
playing with mouse and keyboard works much better
True Assassins Creed lore is pretty interesting (historical wise), also with alot of hidden messages to encrypt related to reality especially with what you will find during the end of this game so be ready for that xD
Trust me, if i can wipe out my memory to play AC again i will pay any amount of money. Savor it, play slowly!!
i've never seen that leap of faith glitch omg that's hilarious
Me neither! Perfect swan dive… only to be broken by… hay… and float off the edge of the world.
Trust me, this is NOT working as advertised!
That leap of faith glitch was just too good hahah
Meg be like "A FLAAAG!!! 😀"
AC veterans be like "oh god."
Flags, feathers, Animus fragments, it’s what life is all about for AC fans!
More like: "And so it begins.."
Aw sheet... here we go again
I’m only 19 and I still feel this in my soul
It is time! There are unfortunately no subtitles as you may have found out. Also the game does not directly state it but Altair’s time is 1191 during the Third Crusade in the Middle East (then known as the Holy Land to the Crusaders). This was the third attempt by Western European Christianity to reconquer Jerusalem after it was captured by Saladin (a few people mention his name). I won’t say too much more because I feel that would be spoilers but feel free to Wikipedia it if you want to know more about the historical context. Really hyped for this one! 🙌🙌
Don't mean to be pedantic but the Third Crusade was technically the second attempt for Jerusalem overall, and the first after it's recapture by Salah al Din. The First Crusade was successful, while the second Crusade was called as a response to the fall of Edessa. Also, this specific region of the near east would also have been known as the Levant or as the Outremer.
@@BM-xx5vk No need to apologise. Was mainly going off what I remember the from the game and some quick searching. Hasn’t really been my main period of history I’m into so not the most knowledgeable on the subject. Always happy to learn 👍
"Praised be Salah-adin" (I do not know the spelling, I'm simply going off of how the heralds say it in the streets :))
that leap of faith killed me :D I love you Meg
Oh, don’t lie! We all scream “Go to God!” before we do the Leap of Faith from an impossible height in every AC game! It’s tradition!
@@mattperiolat fair
@@a.o.2865 I will admit, the glitch is funny, but we all love the Leap of Faith.
Meg:"She reminds me of Kristen Bell"
Maybe because she is Kristen Bell.....
Other than that I'm so glad to see someone starting at the beginning of this series, looking forward to more episodes of this
@@masterpunk7205 xoxo
@@masterpunk7205 Veronica Mars is also in the room. I love Kristen Bell in that show. :D
The buttons are supposed to line up with the layout of the actions in the top right. If your assassinate is the circle button, that should be switched to square
Yeah I think that would be a good idea. So no confusion comes up.
the pc default controls are bugged i think
@@ezioassassain It's just the M+K layout is garbage compared to controller. One of those games where a controller gives you a better experience.
@@Lord_Thunderballs that's true, but the Steam version's default controls are borked even on controller.
Meg, to make life easier on yourself, here's how the controls should be mapped : Consider the 4 face button of your controller as the 4 cardinal points of a human body (the aforementioned "puppeteering concept"). So, head is triangle, left hand is square, right hand is circle, and legs are X. Do this, and it'll match up with your HUD quite nicely.
I'm not sure, but there may be a PS3/4/5 controller setup in the options.
Totally agree here. It might make playing just a bit easier. Also, the high profile button should be R1, locking on L1. Selecting weapons should be the d-pad.
1:25:10 okay, that's gotta be one of the best leap of faith fail reaction that I've seen and she was looking forward to her first official leap of faith too 🤣
I've busted out laughing in the middle of the night.
I'll call that the haystack of death 🤣

Welcome to Assassin's Creed Meg!
That one is bugged out since 2007 lol 😂😂😂
Bro the leap of faith glitch 😂
I was waiting for someone to comment on it, I'm still laughing tbh I was so confused
@@MegMage something similar happened to me in revelation, i made Ezio jump from a building it did the leap of faith animation and for some reason he landed next to hay and die
Assassins Creed 1 is very philosophical and less cinematic compared to the other games. Even though Altair only has 2 game appearances ( AC-1 and AC Revelations), He is still my favorite MC in the series (Ezio comes very close tho). I cant wait to see you complete both of their stories!
Pretty sure he's in bloodlines
What about AC bloodlines?
@@gameshehe Unfortunately Bloodlines is not part of the main series. Although it is a good game and I would have liked it to be a dlc to the first game, or at least on PC.
@@Hammerite12 im not talking about the game itself, im talking about Altair being the main character in AC bloodlines so altair appears in 3 games, such as Assassin's creed 1, bloodlines and revelations
We do sync with Altair for some time in AC2 as well
I'm 20 seconds in and all I'm thinking is "AHHHHH!!".
I love this game series. AC1 sets a very good foundation before things get beyond amazing from AC2 onwards.
@@frenchynoob although I liked the story and the setting
The game itself bored me to death
Had to force myself to get through the game and finish it
@@abisheknair2523 the first one is kinda repetitive but trust me the others one have a different types of missions and the gameplay is really fun! :D
@@frederickjalbert3298 I know
Just started playing them from the beginning last month for the fist time
Just finished AC3
Absolutely loved AC2 and onwards
@@abisheknair2523 so now you're next one is gonna be black flag, i hope you like sea shanties ;)
@@frenchynoob 100% speaking fax.
This series helped me pass history class when I was little.
Most of the people they use in this series are actual real life people and events. I look it up and learn the actual people and events and compare it to the game so I knew about some of the topics they talked about in class.
I like how AC 1 deals with the third crusade where Templars and Assassins were actually real.
Hope you continue with all the AC series even though it's a lot if games.
I have never seen you before but I always love seeing someone new playing through the series, I'm definitely turning on notifications
33:05 The Nizari Ḥaššāšīn were based in many (somewhere around 250) different fortresses and castles from Persia to Syria. Masyaf Castle is one such based in Syria, though most reported directly to the castle in Alamut in Northern Iran. While their actions were partly secretive, where they operated were still heavily fortified positions that were supported by local farmlands and class echelons.
AC1 is probably my favorite game ever made and it makes me so happy to see people playing it too. Truth is it hasn't aged the best but damn if it has a lot of charm.
Woo! I think what's exciting is you're playing through this as a new player. For Assassin's Creed that is rare so it's a good chance to revisit how we all felt about AC when we first picked up the Hidden Blade.
After all those leap of faith jumps I’m dead 😂
Love watching new players reactions. Just finished watching your cinematic trailer reaction and now I'm excited to watch you play these games. I really hope no one spoils anything for you!
& so it has begun. the world of assassin's creed journey. so much lore. so many time periods. & it all began here.
It's happening! The first game can be clunky for sure but it becomes like muscle memory and smoothes out in further games. Everyone has different favourites, so don't feel like you have to love the ones, everyone else does and if you like one that people don't then that's not their call. Look forward to watching your journey, it has such great characters and stories 😊
This game franchise is my childhood! i played these games all throughout high school and its brings back so many memories when i watch you play! You're vibe is so cool so never change please!! Will be watching all your videos of you playing these Assassin's Creed games!! 🙏🏽❤
God, assassin's creed means so much to me. Ac 2 was the very first time I played a game for the story and characters and I couldn't be more excited to watch you play my favourite game series. Thanks Meg! Made my day!
I already can't wait for you to play Assassins Creed 2. This game is just a warm-up for what's about to come. AC2 is the most beloved of the whole series
Yeah, other games are phenomenal too but AC 2 is the peak AC game where u actually feel like an Assassin and the character and story is just top tier ❤️🔥
@@shahilhassan9415 While I don't disagree that AC2 is peak assassin creed and makes you feel like an assassin very much,for me AC1 makes me feel more like an assassin.
Hey Meghan, first of all, thank you for jumping into these series at the actual beginning (most start at ACII or one of the later games) it means a lot to an OG fan like me when someone actually starts at the very beginning with OG AC.
Secondly, I was able to find a link through UA-cam that gave me better labels for the control mapping for my Xbox controller on PC for this game (and ACII). I forget the link, and you're using a PS5 controller so obviously the labels would be different but there might be a way for that controller too.
I love this series so much.
I know not a lot of people love this game but I absolutely love the philosophy of the Assassins in this game and how the Animus works. Genetic memory is such a cool concept.
Altair's character development is still my favorite in the series, since in the end you were saying this isn't anyone's favorite AC game hahaha
It's MY favorite AC game.
The bromance Altair develops with a certain character in this game is unreal.
I'm so here for this playthrough. I haven't played an AC game in so long and never got a chance to play this game cause I didn't have a PS3 at the time. So I'm so excited!!
Everybody had a hard time learning the controls so you are doing good so far also that leap of faith bug killed me
I saw your trailer reactions and have been impatiently waiting ever since. That video introduced me to your channel and I’ve been binging your mass effect and Batman videos during the wait
Yes! and I forgot that Nolan North did the voice of the guy who's on the anomos so good. the controls are the final boss lol can't wait to see more its a whole history lesson
There's an anomos among us
Rewatching the beginning of ac1 is reminding me how much ac2 improved in literally all the aspects
Lucy (the assistant in the lab) reminds you of Kristen Bell because SHE IS voiced by Kristen Bell :) Desmond is voiced by Nolan North, who voices Nathan Drake in Uncharted, by the way.
Yes finally. This is so awesome. Especially the fact that you start from beginning in right order. Thank you for this.
As a life long AC fan, I can't expressed how excited I am to watch you play these! I enjoyed watching your reaction video to the trailers! Can't wait for these vids to come out!
Just found your channel today and already loving your content!! Those 3 minutes of trying to do that leap of faith were so hilarious
Subscribed and ready to binge 👍
ohmygod !! i just woke up and i’m gonna eat breakfast to this im so insanely excited for this. i love the AC games so much you’re gonna love them all i think tbh. it’s the same with me even if i have my favorites.
Each new game you play is one banger after the other. I'm so happy I found your channel :D
It’s fantastic to see someone walking the road already travelled and yet I am not far ahead (currently working on Rogue, but enough on me). I have no objection to any learning curves - every AC game will have that initial adjustment with changes to controls. So far, excited to see the start and cannot wait to see where the road takes you and the experiences yet to be seen. Enjoy and please, savor every step.
btw you can actually see altair mix into the crowd escape on the side in the intro
So Excited for this! It’s like experiencing it all over again! 😂 but also your controls are killing me! Should be “Button 1 as square” “button 0 as X” “button 3 as circle” and “button 2 as triangle” - then you can just use the HUD in the top right in relation to the controller 👍 Good Luck!
This is going to be a great journey! I'm so hyped for this!
Hi Meghan, welcome to Assassin's Creed. I'm so happy that you're starting with AC and I'm looking forward to many exciting episodes with you as you fight your way through the story and jump from houses. My girlfriend and I are both extreme fans of all games mainly because of the awesome story of the entire AC universe. AC1 will always have a special place with me not only because it was the first game but also because it started such an incredible journey that has captivated an entire generation. And while not everyone sees it that way to me, Altair is still the one and only assassin and everything that came after him is good but not on his level, but that's just my opinion. Sorry, I don't know what to write at the moment, so I'll make myself something to eat now and then watch your video together with my girlfriend and our dogs. Have a great week, enjoy exploring the story, lots of hugs to Yuna and Bumi and lovely Greetings from Austria to you and Caleb
Lessgoo meg, I am soo much excited to see you playing assasins creed😭🤩. You are gonna love this part and the further ones which you are gonna play. Always wanted a see someone play assasins creed!!!! Looking forward to your AC playthroughs!
I'm so excited for you to pick up this series!! You're in for a ride!
I was waiting for this series for few weeks now, I'm following you on your journey
That glitch caught me so off guard🤣
This is so far the funniest way I've seen someone play Assassin's Creed. Laughed so hard watching this. You're awesome and I'm already a fan 😂👌
She reminds you of Kristen Bell because she is Kristen Bell.
So excited! I'm watching this right after watching your Arkham Origins finale and I can't wait for you to go through AC II and the rest.
Just found your channel recently through the Dragon Age videos! Assassin's Creed is my favorite series; I'm looking forward to seeing your journey through the games! It's a long and crazy road, but one well-worth the time. Have fun!
i'm so excited that you started assassin's creed, meg! i can't wait to watch more reactions. a fun little fact for you : the voice actor for al mualim ( the leader of your assassin group in the black and red robe ) is the same person who voices duncan from dragon age : origins!
I'm so excited for this series I'm so happy for you your going to have so much fun👍💗
So excited to see you play this series!
I just love watching people play this game, it’s a big eye opener
This is great! Excited to watch the whole journey 🔥
I’m brand new here and I’m honestly so happy I found you, I love assassins creed and i basically never see people playing it on here!
Stoked for you. My first look at this on ps3 when I was like 14 had me enthralled.
There's a reason AC has lasted this long and continues to produce more games. Cuz people enjoy them. Ik there's some that didn't care for the more recent ones, but I like the idea of seeing how the assassins and templars started and the cultures that were influenced from it.
Aaaaahhhhhh! I'm very happy to watch you play these games. It's taken me an entire year to play through them (took breaks) to get to Odyssey It's been one hell of a ride. You'll have so much fun.... and tears
Thus begins one of the most convoluted, contradictory, but fascinating series in gaming. Love it to bits all the same though, happy to be here for your beginning :3
@55:11 "She reminds me of Kristen Bell." That's because Kristen Bell is Lucy's voice actor.
Hey!! I've been binging your witcher 3 series, and have been waiting for this! I'm very excited to re-experience one of my favorite series' with you 😊
For the first few games just know that on PC it doesn't tell you the buttons on your specific controller, but it's based on the xbox controller layout.
The animation in this game was such a landmark at the time. Ironically enough, it is something the more recent ACs have been lacking. Hopefully AC: Enchilada or whatever it's called will honor the detail and stealth roots.
The assassins and Templars also did exist irl. The assassins comes from the Arabic word: Hashashin: which is “those who stand out from society.” The Hashashin brotherhood (as well as the order of the Knight’s Templar), was founded during the Crusades in the Holy land, the OG Assassin’s Creed takes place during the 3rd Crusade.
One of my favs. Love the simplicity.
This is also the one AC game I revisit and play every now and then because of the crusades time period, the combat, the music and the ability to kill civilians after you completed the story. It's usually a lot of fun messing around.
I originally played this in 2007 and still have it great series
The journey begins 😁
AC was so many current historians' and teachers' gateway drug into history. Myself included. Granted, it's a science fiction story at its base, but you meet so many important historical figures, and each one deserves their own rabbit hole.
Assassin's creed 2 and the subsequent sequels it has (based around the PC Ezio) are some of the best because it shows his entire life
Ahhh damn the good old days since I was 11 years old 💓 ... during mirage reveal you were saying i'm happy for you guys (AC Fans) multiple times now it's us welcome to the brotherhood megan and here is to the your long interesting journey ahead of playing all the series till mirage is out lessgooo!!! 🙌🔥
Glad too see people still play these amazing games after all the years. I've finished AC1 to AC4 about 5 times now each 😂
Honestly, such an incredible concept for a video game. Whenever player screws up and/or does something the character wouldn't do, then it simply didn't actually happen. An animus memory glitch.
Just a tip: the game is made to be played in 60fps, and anything above will mess up the physics, such as the leap of faith and all the cloth flapping
I've waited for sooooo long but here it is at last!
Awesome video! I'm very excited to see you play Assassins Creed 1! Assassin's Creed 1 is my favorite Assassin's Creed game!
You playing The Assassins Creed series and the rest of the Arkham content has me so hyped
Greez from germany, congratulations to your First ac Adventure.
I Hope you Like it!!!!!
It' s so much fun
Much much love ❤️ hope u enjoy this journey as many of us have... 😍😍😍
Oh yea! I'm all in for this journey! Can't wait for you to get to Black Flag
Your in for a long wild ride the games are so fun and have amazing stories, but no spoilers, just do them in order :)
I am so stoked to see you play this game 😆 I am a relatively new sub to your channel but I got hooked watching your GOW playthrough keep up the great work
Glad you love AC1. This game deserves all the love for it started one of the greatest video game franchises of All Time. Altair is a Mount Echelon Assassin. Altair and Ezio.
Great video! You’re gonna have a good time with this franchise. You will love ezio’s story. That is something you should look forward to after beating this game.
Watching this made me want to play this all over again 🤩
Loved the first episode and cant for this amazing series! Will they all be on UA-cam or will you be going live with Assassins Creed?
I'm glad you are starting the og AC games
Assassin's Creed... My favorite videogame franchise of all time. It'll be a blast watching you play these games! 😀
I have enjoyed the video. You did great. In the first game there no subtitles, controls are a mess, and map markers are confusing. I made notes on controls too btw. There is even one flag, which you may not be able to get without turning v-sync on in options. The game can be stressful because of that, but I think that makes it more rewarding. AC1 not only started the whole series, but its mechanics inspired so many other games. Looking forward to your next video.
Yes!!!!! I’m mg I can’t wait for you to take this journey it’s a long and emotional one and I can’t wait to be along for the ride😁😁😁😁!!!!
It helped me a lot to set the face buttons according to their position on the screen
turn on vsync to get rid of the bug with a leap of faith
Yoo i was waiting for this since i saw ur trailer reaction video
Excited for future ride of emotions and adventure 👍❤️🔥🔥🔥
Hope u enjoy it 😊
5 seconds in and I’m already subbing, love this game
I have never actually played the first one. I wasn't exactly backing into or had time for gaming until part 2 came out. I'am excited to watch you play this "Meg. Let's do this 😃👏👍
Fun Fact: The Historical Assassin Order was actually more of a quasi-nation that held territory with multiple fortifications (namely Alamut and Masyaf castles) and the assassins themselves ran the gamut of jobs from makers, herders, clerks, etc etc. Most assassins weren't responsible for killings.
That said, they didn't really have a military so instead they had a unit type that is most remembered as "assassins" from within the order. They were a group of disciples known internally as "Fida'iyin" (sp) meaning those who sacrifice and externally as "Hashshashin" possibly derived from the hashish that was common to be smoked at the time within many cultures but noted by the Assassins (although there are many possible reasons they became known as Assassins).
The big reason the term assassin became so synonymous was likely because the military tactics caried out by the order and enacted by the fida'iyin meant that their operations could be carried out on a greater number of their political enemies over a greater area. Generally their tactics were discreet infiltration and importantly: Public Elimination (The assassinations needed to be public so that the threat was made i assume?). The targets were high profile members of enemy states too.
I couldn't find a "Creed" as it were, so I assume the game extrapolated it based on the Typical Assassin modus operandi: Targeted individuals, discreet infiltration, public assassination, And targeted individuals often were the ones causing the most harm to public and the most likely to be a threat to the Assassins. That said, it is rumored that the last words of the first leader of the Assassins (Hassan i-Sabbah) was "Nothing is True; Everything is Permitted" so there may be something historical to that... but I can only find that coming from a book called "Alamut" from 1938 so take that with a grain of salt.
Anyways, thought I'd give some historical fun facts ^.^
Love your reaction to the game, assassins creed is my favorite game of all time (even some I wasn’t too crazy about) and I’m excited to watch the rest of your playthroughs.
Edit: It is an older game and the mechanics aren’t the best, but I do love this game for the story and because it was the beginning of an amazing franchise
