do you agree?
I keep forgetting I am a relatively old man as I was just finishing high school an played this on my ex's brother's pc
I would like to say that Rodrigo knew Chesare would not survive fighting Ezio, Rodrigo told chesare he would not survive almost as if Rodrigo knew Ezio was an inevitability
Ezio is my top fave Assassin
1: he’s voiced by Roger Craig Smith
2: his arc introduced the double hidden blade and then later the hook blade
3: he’s had outstanding character development
4: he’s extremely charming and just full out awesome
5: his pose is my favorite
"I am mostly innocent!"
I think only Edward and Arno really come close in terms of matching Ezio.
@@andrewmah2962 "She needed help with...some things...."
He just had an unparalleled charm about him that you can’t help but enjoy
Funny thing, thanks to this game and AC2 I could actually navigate through Rome and Florence when I visited the cities back in the summer of 2017.
Bleeding Effect at its finest!
@@chaoitcdie6444 Lol
Ubisoft has no chill in that regard…
Remember them offering their Unity models as help for rebuilding Notre Dame because they were just that detailed..? Yeah.
When I got to Rome next year I plan to do 1 of 2 things.
1. Dress in an Ezio costume and walk around
2. Make Polaroid images of landmarks of places from ACB and lining it up in the real life locations (e.g Vatican, Rosa Fiore, Barracks etc)
@@AndorRadnai I'm surprised they offered. But at the same time (if it does help) kind of glad.
Man, this video really reminded me how much I loved Desmond and the modern day assassins. I know a lot of people really didn't like getting pulled out of the animus and Ezio's story, but the moments where we got to know Desmond, Shaun, Rebecca, and Lucy better as individuals and as a group were what made the series a favorite for me to begin with. Revelations was my favorite of the Ezio trilogy--I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
At least we got more of Shaun and Rebecca in games like Black Flag (don’t let him make you coffee), Syndicate and Valhalla. Their relationship is low key but so good to see. Shaun even turns up in the audio drama, albeit as an AI based on the character (yes, the voice actor did the role).
@@jbcatz5 Oh, definitely. Seeing Shaun and Rebecca undercover in Abstergo in Black Flag was a riot. And of course, the first thing I did out of the animus in Valhalla was listen to the audio files of Desmond and them chatting. It was so refreshing to hear the gang back together, even if it was a little morbid knowing what was gonna happen to Desmond a short time after the recordings.
I didn’t know there was an audio drama! I’ll have to check it out.
Allie O It’s called Assassin’s Creed Gold, with the historical setting being Isaac Newton (played by Anthony Head) being assigned someone really an Assassin to investigate a counterfeiting ring. The modern day gets decent attention as well, with some characters from other media as prominent characters.
I took Desmonds parts for granted for sure. The games severely lacked a cohesive story after they ruined it all and he was gone. Really the beginning of the end for this franchise for me was when they stopped caring about a cohesive story tied to modern day. There was a reason they were going back, now its just a mess and shitty games with a shitty story dont go well. You can tell money began to take priority over telling a great story through a love of history.
Definitely revelations
A big part of Machiavelli been so admiring of the Borgas is because he was in real life, he understood how they obtained and used their power. It's a big part of what he writes for the Medicis in the Prince
This was my first ever AC/Ubisoft game...gotta say love it so much
Mine too
Same here. I got it in a bundle with revaluations.
Same I got it at a goodwill and whoever left that copy there gave up something huge but let someone else experience it so for that I’m greatful!☺️
Mine were Black Flag and Brotherhood
Same here
8:20 I get exactly how it feels. VR can be extremely exhausting and labour intensive. You just don’t realize how tired and sweaty and sore you are until you exit VR.
4:04 the Superman stab and the hidden blade face slash are the cleanest animations. I couldn’t possibly agree more with this.
I first played Ezio's story when I was 7 and as a young adult now, my life has greatly changed, I can better understand Ezio's journey. I forgot how it felt to be kid, to spend everyday on that trilogy. Thank you for being here and making Incredible videos, not because of anything "extraordinary" but because you speak about those games with your heart, you add an extra layer of understanding and it just hits my heart with pure nostalgia.
Love that you went over this game, this was the first AC game I played from beginning to end, as my two older sisters owned the copies of the previous two games, and they did not like me playing them. And honestly, I love your content, it helps me figure out whether or not I think I would like getting into a game or not, I don't really care about spoilers all that much, keep doing what you do best man.
I liked AC2 but the counter mechanic in this one changed the franchise for me, loved being able to rip through crowds of guards like a boss if I messed up. It was great. Revelations was also amazing…but not sure what happened after that.
I always thought the repeating of cesare's words "no man can murder me!" Was paving the way towards him having the kind of immortality the sages etc. have in later games
I'm so happy to have discovered your channel. You've reignited my passion for single player games again. Thank You!!
24:35 I think it's kinda cool that it's implied that Machiavelli wrote "The Prince" (essentially a guide on the use of power and leadership) about Ezio.
I love this channel so much. Same as with the CinemaWins channel. There is so much negativity on the internet regarding these two mediums. Its so lovely with a channel that focuses on the positive parts and what games and movies are ultimately about. Having fun .
This game. I loved this game, this was my AC. My first AC(solo) and I loved every minute of it.
22:03 on that topic, Outer Wilds is one of the best games about confronting death and not being afraid to live life, would strongly recommend it as a brilliant piece of art and philosophy.
5:32 For the longest time, I thought this woman was actually the main antagonist's woman in Disguise, scoping out the place before the attack the next morning
10:48 That look of "I don't know what that is for, and I think it's for the best I don't ask"
16:30 I remember when I first played it I was dissapointed it was Volpe instead of Antonio
This is really funny. I literally just finished replaying this game again 😂 I really really wish they went deeper with the original story.
10:40 Echos of Roman ruins...... every time I hear this music it bring tears to my eyes.
When Juno is talking of 'waiting for the other one,' I thought it might have been talking about Layla and the ending of the modern side of Valhalla. "There is one who will accompany you through the gate" sounds an awful lot like Layla joining Desmond in that other dimension or whatever it was, getting all glowy.
Interesting to hear your love for Desmond's side of the game. I was always annoyed to leave Ezio and return to Desmond. the IRL side of AC has always been a roadbump for me in otherwise fun combat and exploration
Bruh
28:37 small correction: it is not Eagle Vision, it is a sense possesed exclusively by The Ones Who Came Before (Isu), the ability to read Time.
It is very subtly explained but it is there.
That aside, I love your Gaming Wins videos, these are my favourite games and watching you go through them is so great!
Oh yeah. And in fairness I think Eagle Vision has been described as using all 5 senses at once.
10:51 Jesper Kyd is criminally underrated, and easily one of my favourite composers. His dissonant music is even more impressive to me than his capacity for traditionally beautiful music, like in hitman contracts and some of the borgia music in brotherhood.
One of the best monologues in AC game comes from Bartolomeo during him being escorted as a prisoner to the French, not the one they talk about Ezio's dad but about the French leader and the nobility.....
Sometimes I miss the simplicity we had in 2000s-10s,this game will forever remain in my head as an artpiece
Although the base philosophy of being remembered and forgotten is an interesting one. In high school Ceasre is taught a lot . Him being the motivation for the prince. His influence on the papal states. His base philosophy will always be right history will never forget its conquerors even though we probably should for the sake of peace
I love these games. I’m actually going thru the Trilogy right now. Ezio’s one of my favorite characters period & I hold him so close to my heart. I only hope I get the opportunity to name my own child after him
GOD damn this game was good, always loved every assassins creed game
YES I WAS JUST WATCHING THE RDR 1&2 VIDEOS AND NOW THIS? *chefs kiss*
Saying it now, brotherhood is by far the best AC game ever
The best definitely, but I think ac3 came close
@@UnSynchronized-w5v eh i guess
I love your videos. Your personal take on games not always liked(not that this one isn't well liked) is awesome.
You can't deny that Ezio has and will always have the best pose and walking animation for any AC character
Actually the sixth sense is the isu being able to read time In AC black flag Mary said that all humans have the potential to use Eagle vision but only a special few are able to fully utilized it like Edward and Ezio the sixth sense is one of the reasons why Minerva knows Desmond name and how they read time
I literally just watched the second and third gaming wins of these, perfect timing!
I feel like Gaming Wins would make the best friend... Always pointing out the good in any situation.
Honestly you deserve way more then 100k subs for this content keep it up
4:50 It's things like this point that make me love this channel.
+5 wins for all the email stuff. One of the Isu giving you access to everyone else's emails, William foreshadowing, Shawn taking Rebecca's music player, who's turn is it to make dinner, "Animus Session, if Desmond's up to it".
Brotherhood was my first Assassin's Creed game. I was an avid player of Soul Calibur and when Ezio made that cameo on SCV, I totally fell in love and I wanted to know more. So, when the opportunity to buy the game presented itself, I bought it and wasn't disappointed.
This very game here started my love for the whole franchise and I'm so happy for having found it.
I loved how everyone had an accent to speak, how some italian phrases were stuck in the middle of their speech. It was just... 💗💗💗💗
God, I can't wait for you to review Revelations! It's my favorite AC game. Just love how it wraps up both Ezio's and Altair's stories perfectly.
And the hook blade. Did you know that it's has two parts, the hook and the blade?
@@JackTheMech. Ahhh, yes. So you can use one or the other. An elegant design! 🤣
27:48 fully agree with this! unbelievably beautiful music.
7:24 Also kinda shows how Ezio felt when seeing Mario get shot.
The change for the Templars are neat too cuz retroactively it shows how times changed their goals and stuff
I know you were mostly focusing on the story, but some of my favorite game mechanics was being able to throw any weapon and summon my gang of master assassins to just murderify anything. Throwing broadswords at random guards (and the occasional civilian) was far too entertaining for what basically amounted to sociopathy
Video was good, 10/10, would do Da Vinci side quests again
Please may I request a win count on the game Kingdom Come:Deliverance, it is a truly an amazing medieval RPG based in 1403 Bohemia. All of its places are real places and most of its people are real people, The Lords were real Lords, their servants often were real and the team visited the actual castles to modal them. It is truly an amazing game and beg you to consider it, if you will
Man I simply love your channel! Such a nice, encouraging and relaxing ways to spend the evenings after work 😊 can we expect some Wins videos for the newer AC games?
Very soon!
@@GamingWins Amazing! Thank you very much for your reply!
Pal, you need to write a book or make some kind of "Lessons videogames taught us" video, because there are moment you have these stroke of poetry and suddenly you're giving out pretty competent life advice and I'm all for it.
Comments like this keep me going. Thank you so much!
Honestly, I'm pretty sure I've been following you since 5k subs and seeing you grow just warms my heart
Thank you for making this video because l really love this game like many people do!!! I am so happy to be a part of this community ... I am so glad that I play video games and not just fifa like other people . For many years everyone around me they don't understand me and they are saying stupid things that sometimes they make me feel sad and it has gotten worse and worse over the years... I sure l am not the only one who feels the same...
11:30 No no / no need to apologize that was beautiful sir them words made my day better
thank you kindly
Every time I see Desmond, I'm sickened that Ubisoft didn't just make Watchdogs the modern Assassin's story.
My favorite of assassins creed games. The glyph collectibles provided some extra content and I enjoyed the multiplayer. My friends would play it, we would a couple of us be stealthy while we could look up and see the other just running across rooftops chasing his target, was a blast. Great video
The thing about Shaun talking about those 2 symbols in the end being connected or something at 1 point is apperently a reference to the French Revolution.
I saw the Phrygian Cap and Masonic Eye as a hint of where the next game was going to take place (if Desmond didn't fall into a coma), the Phrygian Cap became known as the Revolutionary Bonnet in The French Revolution (which was inspired by the American one), and the Eye of Providence is on the back of the One Dollar Bill, one thing these two places share is the American Revolution.
It's honestly kind of refreshing seeing the Limelight being shown on the game that started it all for me for AC
This is my favourite game ever!!! This game for me is perfect in every aspect and it shows how a game should be like... Fun open world which is truly amazing,combat satisfying af,THE FREAKING AMAZING SOUNDTRACKS,the multiplayer was so good even though l die all the time lol and the story being a perfect after ac2 AND adding many cool side missions that they are fun to do and not boring. No other game has done such a good job to deliver everything we wanted like ac brotherhood did.... It is why this my favourite game l have ever played and it is THE BEST AC game EVER ....
I just remember when brotherhood came out and coming off of 2 being my entry to the series I generally remember playing it for the first time and it felt so good like as if it was next gen. Nothing but fantastic memories
During the first months of lockdowns, back in 2020, I replayed this game a ton. I got the same feeling as I did years ago. Now again on the Switch.
Best game and trilogy that will ever exist. This game changed my life. It will never get old
18:50 "some of the best side missions AC has to offer" unless you're going for the 100% and that damn tank is in your way (thank god for the stay out of bounds glitch in the final fight !)
12:27 THANK YOU! I TOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTAND IT!
UbiSoft were absolutely on fire in the '00s and early '10s. Their multiplayer in particular was incredible; Splinter Cells PT and CT had Spies Vs Mercs and ACs had the wonderful assassination challenges. Nobody has been able to get multiplayer quite like it since.
I've never clicked on a video so fast. This game was my first foray into the series and is still my favorite of all the games. Thanks for doing this one!
Ah.....eh eh eh....*MEMORIES*
Legit played this back in 2013-2016, good times. Love the game to death
I know you briefly mentioned the Lairs of Romulus but I do wish you’d quickly talked about the Armour and Dagger of Brutus. They’re such beautiful pieces and vastly underrated. Plus I love using the dagger that killed Caesar to mow through enemies
This was the first AC game I ever played and this reminded me of all the fun I had playing and the great experience it brought. It made me love the franchise/series at once and I went and bought & played the other games and have kept doing so since. Love Ezio as a character!
I used to play this so much after school when the game was finished I would just run around rome with the beautiful music🥺man I loved it
Ezio's new robes are HIS Assassin Robes (aka Ezio's Robes) where in the last game the robes he wore were Giovanni's robes.
My very first Assassin's Creed games. I saw a classmate playing this game on his macbook back in 2011, I think. Got interested and bought this game for PS3. My mistake was going in knowing nothing about the game's series. This was amended when I played AC 2 and AC. Around the same time I started Revelation. After Ezio and Altair's games, started AC3 and all the following games in the proper chronological order. Good times, when I don't have to worry a thing in the world.
This game saved me during the second lockdown in 2021. That an the rest of the Ezio trilogy. It’s my favourite of the Ezio trilogy. The modern day is at its best the ending was shocking with Lucy dying and got me intrigued to play Revelations which I didn’t need an excuse for because of the cinematic trailer. The game doesn’t waste any time to get to the fun stuff showcasing what happens right after Ac2. The graphics and combat hood up really well.
As a child I was always amazed by the Ezio trilogy. Ezio is the most charming character in gaming history. Also Jesper Kyd should get a statue made in his honor, when I first heard Ezio Family in ACII, I cried in joy for almost 5 minutes straight, I had goosebumps so bad for the first time. Also Laughed so fkn hard on those 2 gag sounds in the Cesare Scenes in the video.
I really need to replay this game. While Revilations is my favorite of the old guard games as it was my first to own myself, this triology is still amazing. Black and white with its storytelling but still emotive and compelling. And we can only hope Mirage will bring back the flame in the Devs if we put our money where our mouth is to give us what we want. Sure, the RPG style is a different sort of fun, but a return to a good form we missed so much is the new retro the old guard of the Ezio Triology fans need.
19:25 kinda sad that that's the last time Ezio sees Caterina. If you read her bio, when she rode off, she tried to get her land back but failed and died at some point later on (blanking on the details, sorry 😅)
My favorite one. English able to throw certain heavy weapons was awesome
Boy do I feel old. I was 20 when this came out. It is the only AC game I have ever beaten, and the only one I really enjoyed playing.
Always makes my day when you upload because then I have to go back and watch all the other videos keep up the great work man!
A year later and im still loving these
Wonderful video as always! It is perfectly understandable why this game is often thought of as the peak of the franchise or certainly one of the top tier if not the best, whilst not my favourite I do love it and really enjoyed your thoughts
i like that you used Roman Gilded Onyx outfit and never changed it. Wetland Ebony is most popular but i prefer RGO. it really match with Ezio when he stand next to Machiavelli, Machiavelli wears black and red while Ezio wears black and blue. also the gold trim is why i prefer RGO than WE.
12:23 oh brother i feel you. Whenever i play any ezio game, I try to get the bare minimum of armor bc i love the default robes. In AC2, fortunately, they force us to buy boots. That's good, it doesn't intrude. In revelations, they also force us to buy spaulders but they look a lot like the default so tis ok. but GODDAMN the roman spaulders are very instrusive and do damage the aesthetic a bit. Makes me sad every time i play brotherhood because the default robes are just so good
15:07 I thought this was just a reference to Bianca, Bartolomeo's greatsword.
I thought that Ezio just accepted that Bartolomeo had named another weapon Pantasilea.
20:16 So, in this section, they explain in Rodrigo's bio (the one that Shaun puts in Tab) that after AC2, Rodrigo had a lot of near death experiences with construction/chandeliers crashing down near him. Was this purposefully done by the Assassins to keep Rodrigo scared and guessing, or was it mere coincidence? That's your interpretation. Anyways, all of these scared Rodrigo into taking a more passive role as the Templar leader, and letting Cesare deal with the more dangerous aspects of the Templar order
24:21 Actually, this is a reference to "The Prince" by the real Niccolo Machiavelli. The character of Ezio is based a lot on this book.
this game holds my personal record for "most times completed game" completed it for like 13 times
great review. man. keep it up :D
To bad you didn’t cover the present day conversation Desmond had with everyone. Other than that love the video dude great work as always.
8:57 that’s a bad way to die because it’s unlikely that he died instantly but if he was lucky died from bleeding out and not starvation
Hey man, I bring you an interesting trivia from one of the historical YT channels I saw a few months back:
Lucretia was the aggressive one between her and Cesare
Imo this was where ac peaked, it had the best blend of modern and past story, took everything about its predecessor and improved it in nearly every way.
the isu sixth sense is not the eagle vision but the ability to see through time and predict what will happen. that's why they knew where to leave their messages
Certified hood classic
I'd like to think Juno was referring to Eve ( aka Layla ) as also was hinted in the truth segment in ACB
This was my first Assassin’s Creed game, loved this one so much. I’ll never forget getting to the Cesare boss fight at the end of the game and having to restart my entire game because 10 year old me forgot to buy the fucking crossbow and I couldn’t kill him without it lol
I was disappointed that Rosa from AC2 was not in the game. That is, until I found out about the tragic death of her voice actor, Lita Tresierra. I believe the name "Rosa in Fiore" was given in tribute.
Another great video bud. I was waiting for another assassins creed video.
I only like these robes after you put on some armor. The candy cane sleeves looked dumb until they get mostly covered up.
Omg no way I had so much emotions watching this video and bringing back all the memories these games gave us yes I definitely say that AC 2/brotherhood were best out of the whole series, just hope in the next game we could go back to some story line of what is happing in the real world..
Lucy's death was forced in. By the time ACB was being produced, Kristen Bell asked for proper royalties from Ubi but they didn't give it to her. This was also the time when Patrice Desilets (the brains of the whole AC world) was yeeted off from Ubi.
Now that they have him back they're going the alternative timelines route in AC Valhalla to go back to Desilets' original vision for the game.
The Ezio games will always have a special place on my heart..
A very special place..
I forgot how abruptly this game ends, he kills Lucy, and it ends, basically right after that
The reason he repeated the "Virtú" line is because it is a very prominent concept in Il Principe
Love your videos keep up the great work
