Considering that two of the people there actually tried to kill him, and he had to kill them himself, it really shows how much the guy likes his friends.
It was heart-breaking seeing his friends there at the table.. They wanted nothing more than to live free from any kingdom's rule, but the Templars and crowns tempted them against each other. Some of it does need to fit actual history of what is known of the characters, but it still sucks to have them gone.
I think its sad that edward just retired from his pirate life and choose to live as assassin and when his daughther ask that question it feels like he get a flashback of his adventure and his dead friends and it give him bittersweet memory.
LordTouchMe 77 most pirates did not have such a smooth retirement they where killed in battle, hanged or went into hiding like Ann but i get what you mean in syncate when your in his mansion i pictured him walking around the house just picturing him thinking about the old days haha
I finished AC black flag years ago and when I saw their friends again on the table made me cry a lot “In a world without gold we might have been heroes...” 😭😭😭😢😢
I finished it today and I cried like a baby.. It's soooo sad 😭😭 They started together and in the end Edward is almost alone...They couldn't see his changes, his daughter or theirs island...F**k.. I'm crying again 😭😭😭😭
If you listen to the conversation with his daughter at the end: "Do you think we'll have a chance of seeing pirates?" "No, I don't think so" Really shows how times have changed in the game. We didnt really feel it but sometimes years past between sequences and it only hits us when the abundant pirates are now down to a minimum few.
I think pirates were still abundant but kenway just lied to his daughter because he didnt want her to start thinking more of pirates. he wanted to be a father not a pirate. also that convo took place a few days after he killed torres I think
@@anuclearpan4554 while you are correct, by the time of the game's end historically the Golden Age of Pirates was nearly at its end, so the number of pirates was very minimal.
Aditya N. Pirates where still around right up into at least the late 1700s and it was still ripe in the Indian Ocean but i do get what you mean but maybe he meant sense he was a respected pirate himself and other pirates would recognise the jackdaw and not bother attacking
Joel Schembri haha yer the ship is way over powered you can take out like 10 ships in one trip but really pirates mostly only attacked about 1 ship every couple of months and they would sometimes spend weeks just trying to find pray
It’s sad when he had a flashback and saw all his dead friends and even the ones who betrayed him just hit me in my heart man. Hands down I think this is the best assassins creed
The Kenways are the most tragic bloodline in AC Series. Edward: a man who wanted to be rich, but is consumed by greed and lost all of those who he cares for. Died at the hands of the templars. Haytham: a man who saw his father getting killed in front of his eyes, joining the templars and forced to kill his father's friend. Also got killed at his son's hand. Connor: a man who saw his mother burned to death, swore to free his village, only to get betrayed and left alone. Why can't they all have a happy ending.
You wrong about Connor. He does lived a happy life. He married a native woman and has 3 children. His daughter has the same eagle vision as Bayek. Abstergo lied about him by saying that he got abandoned by his wife. The truth is he lived a happy life till the end. The only Kenway that got a decent endings
@@jasonmcroberts4464 I mean yeah, This game is an assassin's creed game but really doesn't feel like one, so the game has to shove it in your face that you are playing Assassin's creed, not Pirates creed
I feeled a bit wrong when I "killed" Rodgers at his party. In german he sais:" Selbst am Ende der Klinge finde ich noch einen Freund in dir" "Even at the end of the blade I just find a friend in you." 😭
I actually read about a comment saying that he tried to redo that part over and over again, hoping that if he killed every soldier on board in time, the cutscene wouldn't be triggered and black beard would be saved.
Danny Walker yeah, but not so fast. Edward didn’t die old, he was killed by some mercenaries. I think Haytham tells something in AC3 or Rouge about it because he was in the day Edward was killed.
Fallen Warrior the guy that killed them was the same guy that was hiting on Jennifer before i think and he was secretly a templer later on and he organised to kill Edward then he had Jennifer sold into slavery to Turks and raised haytham as a templer but when he was a adult he learned the truth went to Damascus and freed his sister then they killed the templer but he never left the order
@@raahimhammad589 He attacked with his little ship a man o'war of Britain and lost his men and his ship. He got captured by the british and hanged in December 10th, 1718, begging for mercy.
Jenny: can you tell me a story on one of your adventure Edward: well one time I destroyed a whole entire battalion of Spanish soldier while defending a place called Tulum
Edward: let me tell you the story on how I conquered the entire caribbean and fought a fleet ten Man o war at the same time with only this brig and it's twenty crew Alone!
11:46 I'm sorry. That hit hard. Edward will always be my favorite assassin. His life is a redemption. One that took years, blood, and lessons learned through pain. But he got there. He finally grasped his redemption
when Jennie said will I see pirate ships and Edwards replied no he probably closed his eyes and smiled while saying no but on the inside he cried deep down
Totally agree. I cried when he saw/remembered his friends. You play through, then they hit u with that and the song. Emotions all over the place. AC never had this effect on me.
how bittersweet; by the time edward finally has direction and wealth and everything he set out to find, the people he cared about most weren't able to fully see that transformation (well, maybe with exception to addy)
Christon Huffmaster Haytham didn’t kill him, Edward was murder by mercenaries and then Haytham was taken in by Reginald Birch who ordered Edward and Haytham was raised a Templar.
Thats the sad thing about his story. Ultimately he aquired everything he desired and worked for, but it had a high price. He may have everything but in the end he standa alone. At least he got what he deserved, a family.
"Hm! And what about Pirates? Will I see Pirates?" "No. There's not much chance of that. I think" every Jackdaw memeber who are pirates on the ships "Am I a Joke to you?"
@@lordtouchme77 it also shows how much of a character development Edward have throughout his life he changed from a greedy pirate to that stage to say a line like that surely man ubisoft made such a masterpiece of a game and now we're playing rpg games with Vikings
@@crashpal Altair's story is actually mediocre compare to Ezio's. Objectively and subjectively speaking, 1st game wasn't the best. Maybe because the limitations of the game, however it is what it is.
What made this game so great was that Edward gave everything and got back so little! Even more tragic was that the woman he loved (initially) never got to see the wealthy and successful person he'd become >: and that scene with his friends at the end ..the feels
+Croc Gator ikr, that's super sad, people though he just left for ambition, he was ambitious/drunk/robber but still he loved his wife and wanted to make his family rich unfortunately he never did it D:
11:45 Farewell my friends, I couldn't save any of you. And some of you even turned on me, but nonetheless I still consider you my friends. I'm gonna miss you all. But now its time for you to rest and know peace. Goodbye.
I can't believe that Ubisoft accidentally made the best pirate game in gaming history. This game is a treasure to horde. A wonderful experience. Its one of those games that makes you sad that its over, that there is no more. It was a true mistake not making a sequel for Captain Kenway. Its one of those games that is so good that it makes you want complete all side quests even after the credits. Black Flag is truely one of those games that would make you say: "Now that was the peak of gaming."
Edward should have had a trilogy like Ezio, the second game in London, the third with Edward exploring the world looking for pieces of eden. we know he did go back to London, become an assassin, then explore the world, where he lost the jackdaw, before returning to London, but I would have loved to play those parts in games.
It really hit me when Edward saw all his old friends gathered at the table, it just reminded me of how many people he'd lost. And when I saw Stede there it reminded me of how Edward in the beginning was out for himself, and by the end he gave it up for something better.
It was nice how he still remembered some of them as they were; his friends. Even ones like Hornigold and Vane who turned out bad later, Edward was a better person in the end. I think that's a hell of a lot more effective of an ending than whatever AC3 was trying to do. Also we didn't get any modern day crap here, we just had this really nice, but sad as well, ending that gave us the closure we needed.
Olórin356 Vane was left on the island. Later there came by a British ship, but the captain refused to take Vane with him. Days later there comes another ship that does take him with them, because they don't recognize him. On the crossing toward England they come upon the first ship Vane tried to sail with. The captain of that ship sees Vane and imprisoned him. Vane was brought to England and hang by the neck.... So yeah, he's dead.
Hot, Tbh I just beat the game , literally as I'm typing , I wasn't expecting an ending :( I'm friggin sad now ! beautiful fucking story with a beautiful ending!
I swear to God after the end of the game i appreciated my circle of my friends , started to be less cocky with them and more respectful honorable and a good man....
This game was filled with emotional moments even the craziest men who died dropped a emotional pain in my heart but Blackbeard's hit me the hardest " in a world without gold we could have been heroes " -Blackbeards last words. And although all these struggles of emotions hit me hard I managed to carry on and worst thing is Edward got killed by a goddamed mercenary in London
Jenny: “Do you think we will find pirates?” Edward, with a heavily reinforced ship, several tons of golden canons and mortars and enough sugar and rum to burst the hull: “Uh.... no.”
that could easily just be dlc, its not a black flag 2 that we need, its another assassins creed thats just as good as black flag. Assasins Creed 5 is most likely going to be the next AC anyways though
One of the things I love about this series are the endings: each one leaves me at a loss for words. Most of them come from shock or confusion though. This one, however, has been my favourite, just because it was so sad yet happy at the same time.
Man.. there's so few games out there that manage to drop such a hard hitting emotional bombshell on the player within 5 seconds.. yes i'm referring to the table scene... *cries a lot again*
I finished this game multiple times, over the years. I never got sick of the ending, it always hit me hard. The fact it's been over 10 years, makes it even more nostalgic. I loved this game to death, I played it over and over again on my shitty laptop for years. Edit: the graphics were mind blowing for it's time, looking back now, it can't compare to new games but that doesnt make me forget, that it used to look like the best game to me.
I'm not either, I'll feel sad, though, games that try to make the player cry never work for me, yet this games ending hits me very hard for some reason, I guess it's just so unexpected you'd think in a pirate game it'll end in a pile of gold and women but not this one. You save the world and get a daughter. DAMNIT IM CRYING AGAIN!
That shot of Edward's lost comrades is still the most heartbreaking moment in all of Assassin's Creed. This game is the saddest of them all and my personal favorite by a mile.
6:30 ~ Got a good chuckle out of you shaking your head "no" when you were asked if you wanted to see the trailer. Made up for all the tears in the rest of the video.
Damn, Matt Ryan KILLED it as Edward! He's so wonderful, and the character growth was great too. It's good to see him get something good, even if it doesn't last, because in this world, nothing ever does.
I'm currently replaying this game for the first time in years after rewatching this video a few days ago. And after having just finished high school. And now knowing that I'll never see most of my friends again, it hits very differently. My life will never be the same. And so replaying this game, the first game I was really ever invested in, the first game I ever loved, the first game that made me love gaming... It hits entirely differently. I'd nearly forgotten why I'd loved this game so much. Why I loved Edward and his story so, so damn much. Why I loved gaming so much... I've played great games since this one. Some that I might even like just a bit more than it. But none truly hit quite like this one. Amongst the increasing storm of mediocrity and tedium of life. This game serves as one last reminder of my childhood before I really become an adult in just 10 days. And acts as one last emotionally moving, action packed, breathtaking adventure that I can truly escape into without any worry. I'll miss it all, but there isn't any other game I'd rather have serve as my last farewell...
Having just finished the game. I have to say, it's every damn bit as good as I remembered. Still the best ending to any game I've ever played. With my favorite character arc in all of gaming to boot. God bless this game. I thank it dearly for getting me into gaming and for reigniting that love just recently. But now, it's time for a new story.
I wish Edward didn’t have such a tragic ending. He was a pirate that turned his life around finally. I wish he could have been rewarded for that. Instead he was murdered, and his son became a Templar and went off to kill his old friends who were Assassins. I guess karma came back to him in the end for all of his crimes. So sad.
+6HotelBravo actually, Rogue came after this. and, after that, 3. and then Unity. which means, Shay's still out there. but, Edward's grand child did take care of Haythum.
i get that they had to make a game, having nothing to do with america (i mean, we have, Black Flag, Liberation, 3, and now, Rogue) and, Unity is slightly, a breath of fresh air. it being in a new place and all. buuuut, i liked Rogue more. liked the story, free roam, and and elements (plus better/more familiar controls) my only hope is that Syndicate is a little like both. a breath of fresh air, in a new setting. but, better story then unity. and, similar weapons system.
Nope connor in fact get a happy ending. He married some native woman and had a lot of children. His daughter have eagle vision like bayek and connor decided to train her.
Every SINGLE time I see that black screen and credits, I tear up. I was too young when I completed this game for it to effect me but now, after 7 years of life. I can’t stop those tears
+Odoacer If you read the book forsaken you will love haytham, I felt sorry for him after everything his father had done, but at least haytham took revenge on behalf of his father
+Odoacer I don't believe so, I think Edward would still be proud of Haytham's convictions (despite their disagreements, just as was Haytham's view on Connor), that, and that fact he did make a successful attempt soften the templars' means, as well as giving the possibility of a Templar-Assassin Reconciliation a chance. Haytham also kept a lot of what his father had taught him and incorporated some of it into his Templar Chapter.
+antonis735 what's awful is he didn't join the Assassin's even though he found out Birch was responsible for his father's death, he still remained a Templar.
pelu101 He remained a templar but he did some things his father would. To be honest Haytham was not completely a bad guy. Read the book Forsaken, it explaines everything.
2BHG I agree, tbh the true villain of this story is the Sage, an immortal man who wishes to be together with Juno, which will bring upon the enslavement of humanity once more.
@@ShadowSearcher31 technically the story to this entire franchise goes separate ways. It goes forward and then it goes backwards and then it goes forward again.
@@raven3067 they call it four but it’s the three in the timeline also yes I’m not gonna mention the next gen xbox360 exclusives because names confuse me
Okay so I’ve been thinking about this ending a lot lately,but I haven’t looked up anything on AC or even talked about it out loud… yet here it is in my recommendations…
Ezio's saga was good history, since it was a trilogy but Black Flag become (to me) THE GAME, good battles, great story and reflection in the protagonist's life. Also the latest song at min 11:23 (I'll like to find the full track song) gave a melancholic touch plus the conversation between Edwar and his daugther, It makes a greatest ending. I'd like to saw the lates day of Edward Kenway video; when he was murder fighting while his family escapes from the attack in home and how Haytham become to de templar side afther that...
I just finished the game and right as I was pulling myself together, I skip to a random point in the video and it's the singing scene with everyone who died there. Now I'm crying again.
i didnt know all of edward's pirate friends were based off real people. i only thought hornigold and blackbeard were real. after some research after i finished ac4 a few minutes ago, all of them: stede, rackham, vane, kidd, anne, blackbeard, and hornigold were real people. it's really amazing how they brought all them back to life in this game with a touch of real history. hell, even cockram, burgess, rogers, du casse, and torress were real.
Damn this game helped me in a time of deep depression a few years back It was one of the first games on the newly released PS4 I bought The ending makes me emotional lol This game is a masterpiece 👏
@@anantambisht4895 It helped me focus on a video game with combat elements but also music,problem solving, a fun story etc 👍 Depression is you don’t feel like doing anything and you have low energy It’s not only being sad
They should make a new AC game with 1/3 of the story belonging to Connor, Haytham and Edward and conclude the Kenway Saga. From this we can play as Edward in London following the ending of AC IV, We can play as Haytham as he travels the world trying to find Jenny (This could include the Ship gameplay in AC IV and include many different locations) and it can also include playing as Connor and giving him a fitting conclusion in another part of America. It is a lot to ask with a lot of locations but please take note Ubisoft, it would be a perfect ending for this part of the saga!
that moment when he looked at the table and imagine all of his friends there, that really got me man. just damm
Considering that two of the people there actually tried to kill him, and he had to kill them himself, it really shows how much the guy likes his friends.

he can slim down like he did for that moby dick movie he was in, i also think he has the right voice and charisma
hes still a good pick
The guy who voices him should. Its the same guy that did the Constantine show.
oh really thats cool, he'd be good actually
If Heath Ledger was still alive he would be be perfect for Edward!
Edward Kenway, father of Haytham Kenway, in turn father to Connor Kenway.
Ron Volz the most badass line in Desmond's tree
Logan Wynn tru
well tbh there all related
An assassin brought forth a templar which in turn brought forth another assassin
When your son killed your frien and his son kills him
What a lovely family
"Hm! And what about Pirates? Will I see Pirates?" "No. There's not much chance of that. I think" every Jackdaw memeber who are pirates on the ships "Am I a Joke to you?"
Jackdaw crew be like : We were a bad guy but we're good now...
@ERA CASTE I never read the novel but thanks for the further explaination, imma check it out cause I need something to read during quarantine.
Other crew: “we stopped that gig”
@ERA CASTE dude that is deep I didn't expect that are you creating your own novel
@@iinchicken212 no obv, its from the official novel
Best assassin's creed ever
Better than syndicate and unity in terms of storyline
Syndicate has better story as Unity
but syndicate ending isnt touching
Assassins creeds 3 will always be my favorite
RandomGuyWithALongName , Assassins creed 3 is the best, but I need a black flag 2
ShadowSpecs95 nah syndicate and unity wins this
Beautifully written game, the story, the background, the whole cazoo, it almost made my cry when Edward remembered his friends at that table.
Kirā Iι dame with me too
The game is now available for switch
One more time we will have to cry
Same bro... same...
I got it on my Switch along with AC 3 and it's still just as sad probably even more because I didn't play it for years🥺
@@kkmiksa9040 dude, I'm crying like a baby. Why did they do Edward so dirty like this? 😭 He lost everything
"Oh. That's rather sad. I should have liked to see one."
*Edward sweats nervously*
16:39 "What about pirates? Will I see Pirates?" No, there's not much chance of that i think...
I cried like a baby right there.
Yeah its more sad and i think when jennifer asked that edward will remember all his friends who either died or left him.
@@lordtouchme77 it also shows how much of a character development Edward have throughout his life he changed from a greedy pirate to that stage to say a line like that surely man ubisoft made such a masterpiece of a game and now we're playing rpg games with Vikings
This is the best Assassin’s Creed game ever made
1st one still rules. Surprised PS3 and xbox360 was able to handle it at that time but then came the Ezio sequels
@@crashpal Altair's story is actually mediocre compare to Ezio's. Objectively and subjectively speaking, 1st game wasn't the best. Maybe because the limitations of the game, however it is what it is.
One of the best
Indeed best ac game
That's right. this is the best one.
What made this game so great was that Edward gave everything and got back so little! Even more tragic was that the woman he loved (initially) never got to see the wealthy and successful person he'd become >: and that scene with his friends at the end ..the feels
+Croc Gator ikr, that's super sad, people though he just left for ambition, he was ambitious/drunk/robber but still he loved his wife and wanted to make his family rich
unfortunately he never did it D:
Luis Moreno he did
Luis Moreno He did though, his journey to get there however taught him many lessons and cost him a lot along the way.
@@luis-u8l he did make his riches tho, problem was all them riches got him nowhere in the end.
11:45 Farewell my friends, I couldn't save any of you. And some of you even turned on me, but nonetheless I still consider you my friends. I'm gonna miss you all. But now its time for you to rest and know peace. Goodbye.
From a fellow player, i salute u my good man, that was very well put
jose perez I
For a second I thought you were talking about the flying chair and I got really confused.
Does the tubby guy die?
ReachForTheSky yes he does sadly
I can't believe that Ubisoft accidentally made the best pirate game in gaming history. This game is a treasure to horde. A wonderful experience. Its one of those games that makes you sad that its over, that there is no more. It was a true mistake not making a sequel for Captain Kenway. Its one of those games that is so good that it makes you want complete all side quests even after the credits. Black Flag is truely one of those games that would make you say: "Now that was the peak of gaming."
lol
Honestly its really hard to say. What came after black flag was ubisofts most ambitious and biggest fuck ups in gaming.
Edward should have had a trilogy like Ezio, the second game in London, the third with Edward exploring the world looking for pieces of eden. we know he did go back to London, become an assassin, then explore the world, where he lost the jackdaw, before returning to London, but I would have loved to play those parts in games.
he sold the jackdaw the book explains it
It's ubi one thing you can trust them to do is fuck up
He dies in just after the ending cutscene I believe in a home robbery attempt
He was killed by Templar Grandmaster Reginald Birch after his return
Himangshu Sharma oh well then they made it look like one because in the backstory of how he dies that’s what it says
I miss blackbeard and kidd
president creeper gaming Also mary read is real. One of the very few female pirate back to that time
Jason Gutierrez we all do

I miss Kidd mostly┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
Gotta love that crew member leading Edward's daughter down the ramp to him
deserves a promotion
What kills me, is it took Mary's death to set Edward straight
Agree...that sequence was gut wrenching, you could really feel Edward's pain.
Because Thatch and Mary were his left and right hands man.
It really hit me when Edward saw all his old friends gathered at the table, it just reminded me of how many people he'd lost. And when I saw Stede there it reminded me of how Edward in the beginning was out for himself, and by the end he gave it up for something better.
It was nice how he still remembered some of them as they were; his friends. Even ones like Hornigold and Vane who turned out bad later, Edward was a better person in the end. I think that's a hell of a lot more effective of an ending than whatever AC3 was trying to do. Also we didn't get any modern day crap here, we just had this really nice, but sad as well, ending that gave us the closure we needed.
Radiation2K Vane didn't go bad he just want batshit crazy.
Radiation2K Did you even pay attention to the AC3 story?
Olórin356 Vane was left on the island. Later there came by a British ship, but the captain refused to take Vane with him. Days later there comes another ship that does take him with them, because they don't recognize him. On the crossing toward England they come upon the first ship Vane tried to sail with. The captain of that ship sees Vane and imprisoned him. Vane was brought to England and hang by the neck.... So yeah, he's dead.
Tim Brinkhof You're telling me this info I already know because?
11:42 Are we not going to mention the flying chair in the background?
Wtf😂😂
Lol
LMAO 😂😂 I didn't even notice that
Votan wat u mean just good ole 1700’s
Can you show me which chair is flying? I cant see it.
It's really interesting how Edward changed from being a self interested dick into a really likable character. Nice work!
***** Shay was awful imo, he can go die in a whole for all I care. Maybe a game where Connor or Arno kill him in the end would be awesome.
And the opposite for Connor in #3 :(
I still like Connor the best though, after Ezio of course.
TRIMC95 Shay was a brilliant character.
A bit arrogant but he's interesting.
Fully disagree, but whatever.
TRIMC95 So why do you think badly of him?
If the answer is because he became a templar then it's pretty dumb.
i just came here to remember the only video game to ever make me cry
same here
Hot, Tbh I just beat the game , literally as I'm typing , I wasn't expecting an ending :( I'm friggin sad now ! beautiful fucking story with a beautiful ending!
You should have played The Walking Dead Season 1 :v
Undertale made me cry more
I swear to God after the end of the game i appreciated my circle of my friends , started to be less cocky with them and more respectful honorable and a good man....
I'm proud of ye, lad.
@@cesarponce3413 thanks man I appreciate it
@@SarcasmOpenWorld wow well done man
That’s noble of you, and I respect that.
Thank you lads ✌❤
This game was filled with emotional moments even the craziest men who died dropped a emotional pain in my heart but Blackbeard's hit me the hardest " in a world without gold we could have been heroes " -Blackbeards last words. And although all these struggles of emotions hit me hard I managed to carry on and worst thing is Edward got killed by a goddamed mercenary in London
11:43 the chair needed a moment alone
oh my god I just noticed that, that's amazing XD
+michael vingerling lol how the hell did u notice that xD some bionic eyes u have there ;P
can't see it xD
can't see it xD
OMG I SAW IT WTF XD
Jenny: “Do you think we will find pirates?”
Edward, with a heavily reinforced ship, several tons of golden canons and mortars and enough sugar and rum to burst the hull: “Uh.... no.”
I know this is a joke, but legal pirates do exist, privateers, like Edward's previous occupation.
Why Syndicate and unity? We just need something like Black flag 2
Black Flag 2 wouldn't work because it's set before Assassins Creed 3.
We need a play through of James Kidd/Mary Reads back story
that could easily just be dlc, its not a black flag 2 that we need, its another assassins creed thats just as good as black flag. Assasins Creed 5 is most likely going to be the next AC anyways though
We need AC Rogue 2
we need another AC game like brotherhood and the first ever AC it was so good when they actually where assassins
That dialogue with his daughter is brilliant
Right there's so much hidden meaning behind some of his words to his daughter
One of the things I love about this series are the endings: each one leaves me at a loss for words. Most of them come from shock or confusion though.
This one, however, has been my favourite, just because it was so sad yet happy at the same time.
It is happy because Edward got what he truly deserved, yet sad because we know what he lost on his way and how his story ends.
"Nothing is sacred"
"Everyone is committed"
Abstergo entertainment reached the lowest level of creativity.
To *RUM*
@The Skyrim Geek and *WEMEN*
It still would have sold me haha
Personally I think the Templars were secretly jealous of not having such a badass creed as the Assassins.
Welcome to the Caribbean
Man.. there's so few games out there that manage to drop such a hard hitting emotional bombshell on the player within 5 seconds.. yes i'm referring to the table scene... *cries a lot again*
I finished this game multiple times, over the years. I never got sick of the ending, it always hit me hard. The fact it's been over 10 years, makes it even more nostalgic. I loved this game to death, I played it over and over again on my shitty laptop for years.
Edit: the graphics were mind blowing for it's time, looking back now, it can't compare to new games but that doesnt make me forget, that it used to look like the best game to me.
The moment when all his friends were sitting together...was so beautiful, I cried D,X
I will be honest. I am not the type of person to cry because of a game, but this one made me cry.
I'm not either, I'll feel sad, though, games that try to make the player cry never work for me, yet this games ending hits me very hard for some reason, I guess it's just so unexpected you'd think in a pirate game it'll end in a pile of gold and women but not this one. You save the world and get a daughter. DAMNIT IM CRYING AGAIN!
Daniel Hill hella true bruh, when I seen the dead people I was like fuuuuukkkkk lmao
That shot of Edward's lost comrades is still the most heartbreaking moment in all of Assassin's Creed. This game is the saddest of them all and my personal favorite by a mile.
6:30 ~ Got a good chuckle out of you shaking your head "no" when you were asked if you wanted to see the trailer. Made up for all the tears in the rest of the video.
when i finished that game i cryed for one week
You've Always got multiplayer
I got depression,thanks Ubisoft
"The Jackdaw is a ship Jenny, not a boat"
BLACK FLAG HAS THE BESSTT STORY LINE!!!NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!
And maybe Ac 3? AC3 Made sense.
Nah 2 had the best. Then Brotherhood then Black Flag
Shadow of Altaïr Then play black flag
Mohamed, That's you're opinion for the best character.
swimmer8585 yeah i agree
Damn, Matt Ryan KILLED it as Edward! He's so wonderful, and the character growth was great too. It's good to see him get something good, even if it doesn't last, because in this world, nothing ever does.
I'm currently replaying this game for the first time in years after rewatching this video a few days ago. And after having just finished high school. And now knowing that I'll never see most of my friends again, it hits very differently. My life will never be the same. And so replaying this game, the first game I was really ever invested in, the first game I ever loved, the first game that made me love gaming... It hits entirely differently. I'd nearly forgotten why I'd loved this game so much. Why I loved Edward and his story so, so damn much. Why I loved gaming so much... I've played great games since this one. Some that I might even like just a bit more than it. But none truly hit quite like this one. Amongst the increasing storm of mediocrity and tedium of life. This game serves as one last reminder of my childhood before I really become an adult in just 10 days. And acts as one last emotionally moving, action packed, breathtaking adventure that I can truly escape into without any worry. I'll miss it all, but there isn't any other game I'd rather have serve as my last farewell...
Having just finished the game. I have to say, it's every damn bit as good as I remembered. Still the best ending to any game I've ever played. With my favorite character arc in all of gaming to boot. God bless this game. I thank it dearly for getting me into gaming and for reigniting that love just recently. But now, it's time for a new story.
"The trailer is done would you like to see it?"
* Shakes head*
That scene when he looked at the table and imagined his friends..... Stabbed me in the fakin heart bruh....
I am not the type of gamer to cry but go dagn,that got me well
+Robin Popa god*
I wish Edward didn’t have such a tragic ending. He was a pirate that turned his life around finally. I wish he could have been rewarded for that.
Instead he was murdered, and his son became a Templar and went off to kill his old friends who were Assassins.
I guess karma came back to him in the end for all of his crimes. So sad.
Also that moment when you realize that Unity was the game right after this...
+6HotelBravo actually, Rogue came after this. and, after that, 3. and then Unity. which means, Shay's still out there. but, Edward's grand child did take care of Haythum.
Silver200916 no, on which game was released after this. AC 4 came out 2013 and Unity came out 2014
talking about the timeline
Silver200916 yeah I know, I just misworded my original comment, but yeah I menat that Unity was the game made and released after blackflag was made
i get that they had to make a game, having nothing to do with america (i mean, we have, Black Flag, Liberation, 3, and now, Rogue) and, Unity is slightly, a breath of fresh air. it being in a new place and all. buuuut, i liked Rogue more. liked the story, free roam, and and elements (plus better/more familiar controls) my only hope is that Syndicate is a little like both. a breath of fresh air, in a new setting. but, better story then unity. and, similar weapons system.
connor and edward had similar endings, everyone they loved died
Like Grandfather and grandson
That's what being an assassin.. Everyone you loved die..
True point, I believe all three Kenyways man all lost the people who they loved.
At least Edward had something by the end... Connor, he got dealt a shit hand!
Nope connor in fact get a happy ending. He married some native woman and had a lot of children. His daughter have eagle vision like bayek and connor decided to train her.
Every SINGLE time I see that black screen and credits, I tear up.
I was too young when I completed this game for it to effect me but now, after 7 years of life. I can’t stop those tears
This makes me sad. It tears my heart "spoilers" when you fight adawale while he is talking about how Edward would e ashamed of Haytham
+Odoacer If you read the book forsaken you will love haytham, I felt sorry for him after everything his father had done, but at least haytham took revenge on behalf of his father
+Odoacer
I don't believe so, I think Edward would still be proud of Haytham's convictions (despite their disagreements, just as was Haytham's view on Connor), that, and that fact he did make a successful attempt soften the templars' means, as well as giving the possibility of a Templar-Assassin Reconciliation a chance.
Haytham also kept a lot of what his father had taught him and incorporated some of it into his Templar Chapter.
+antonis735 what's awful is he didn't join the Assassin's even though he found out Birch was responsible for his father's death, he still remained a Templar.
pelu101 He remained a templar but he did some things his father would. To be honest Haytham was not completely a bad guy. Read the book Forsaken, it explaines everything.
2BHG I agree, tbh the true villain of this story is the Sage, an immortal man who wishes to be together with Juno, which will bring upon the enslavement of humanity once more.
Anyone notice that moving ghost chair in the background at 11:42
:DDD LoL
KnowItNation HAHAHAHAHAHA
I didn't notice at first but when I looked back I was like WTF?!?
The chair is like "excuse me, pardon me, I'm sorry for being late for my role as Chair 24."
KnowItNation hahaha
I'd buy it full price if they remaster this.
one of the most touching endings in all assassins creed history. Without a doubt.
1 of the best endings to a game ever
I would’ve liked Edward to get a sequel.
A shame that we already know how sad it ends
Technically 3 is the sequel, it’s just it takes place years after the end of 4
@@ShadowSearcher31 technically the story to this entire franchise goes separate ways. It goes forward and then it goes backwards and then it goes forward again.
@@raven3067 they call it four but it’s the three in the timeline also yes I’m not gonna mention the next gen xbox360 exclusives because names confuse me
@@ShadowSearcher31 yup
This is why I think AC4 is the best game is the series, so much emotion packed down into one good game.
The "Devils of The Caribbean" trailer gave me cancer
Okay so I’ve been thinking about this ending a lot lately,but I haven’t looked up anything on AC or even talked about it out loud… yet here it is in my recommendations…
Ezio's saga was good history, since it was a trilogy but Black Flag become (to me) THE GAME, good battles, great story and reflection in the protagonist's life. Also the latest song at min 11:23 (I'll like to find the full track song) gave a melancholic touch plus the conversation between Edwar and his daugther, It makes a greatest ending.
I'd like to saw the lates day of Edward Kenway video; when he was murder fighting while his family escapes from the attack in home and how Haytham become to de templar side afther that...
I just finished the game and right as I was pulling myself together, I skip to a random point in the video and it's the singing scene with everyone who died there. Now I'm crying again.
it's been out for three years what have you been doing
I know that feeling
i didnt know all of edward's pirate friends were based off real people. i only thought hornigold and blackbeard were real. after some research after i finished ac4 a few minutes ago, all of them: stede, rackham, vane, kidd, anne, blackbeard, and hornigold were real people. it's really amazing how they brought all them back to life in this game with a touch of real history. hell, even cockram, burgess, rogers, du casse, and torress were real.
Also... Julian du casse
Edward would have jumped out of his grave if he ever knew his son served for Templars then be killed by his grandson =.=...what a family!!!
Haytham chose his own path. Edward taught Haytham to think for himself. read assassin's creed forsaken it should explain everything.
Tbh I think Edward would be proud that he chose his own way
Haytham is probably the only templar I hoped wouldnt die
I'm crying... I just can't stop... CRYING.
I know that feel bro...
Neither could the chair at 11:42
I hope when Edward goes to heaven he meets all of his mates again
Well if you counts all they did as a pirate they will go straight to hell first class, but i get what you're saying.
Pirates don’t exactly end up there
They wont go to heaven sadly but they will rule hell with thatch
@@lordtouchme77 they will go to *DAVY JONES LOCKER*
Yeetus Confuctus ARGARGARGARG
How much you can love Ezio, nothing can compare to the atmosphere this game graced us with
its cute edward lets his pirates even come close to his daughter, it shows how much Edward trust them
11:43 that flying chair....😂
Ghost 😁😁😁😁
😂🤣
*Heartbreaking emotional moment
Chair: WE RIDE AT DAWN BITCHES!
When he looked at the table imagining his friends sitting on the table just made me broken into pieces😢😢😢😭😭
Damn this game helped me in a time of deep depression a few years back
It was one of the first games on the newly released PS4 I bought
The ending makes me emotional lol
This game is a masterpiece 👏
Why did it help you in times of depression?
@@anantambisht4895
It helped me focus on a video game with combat elements but also music,problem solving, a fun story etc 👍
Depression is you don’t feel like doing anything
and you have low energy
It’s not only being sad
@@Fascistbeast i know buddy what depression is
Bro you're a Warrior just like edward.
I hope you're good now
Fuck me dude, even after all these years that table scene makes me sad. What a game.
Jenny: Will we see pirates?
Edward and his entire crew: *profuse sweating*
I cryed at Edward friends flashback. I just cant stop.... these memories....
When he looks at the table where all of the dead sit together. Every time you watch it, you just feel sick in your gut. So damn sad.
They should make a new AC game with 1/3 of the story belonging to Connor, Haytham and Edward and conclude the Kenway Saga. From this we can play as Edward in London following the ending of AC IV, We can play as Haytham as he travels the world trying to find Jenny (This could include the Ship gameplay in AC IV and include many different locations) and it can also include playing as Connor and giving him a fitting conclusion in another part of America. It is a lot to ask with a lot of locations but please take note Ubisoft, it would be a perfect ending for this part of the saga!
Speakin of which, our trailer is finished, wanna see it?
*LE SHAKES HEAD EPICALLY*
6:30 "Our trailer is finished wanna see it? "
You: No no no no no no whhhyyyyy
Tied with Revelations as the best ending in the series.
