    I was watching a couple of your older videos from a year or so ago, when I first discovered your channel, and the mic quality, vocal enthusiasm, video editing, pacing, just everything in the newer videos is 1000x better, I see the improvements, the videos used to feel homemade in someone's basement, now it feels like they're being made by a group of talented individuals in a studio

    • @jones9048
      @jones9048 Місяць тому +5

      @gigaman9548 I think it's more that the sense of mystery surrounding "Those Who Came Before" has been almost totally eroded with the newer games and lore. Especially since the RPG titles started introducing high fantasy elements into the plot. They "Isu" (lol) aren't futuristic/incomprehensible enigmas anymore. They're just bog standard gods, and the Pieces of Eden are their tools for spellcasting.
      Even First Civ architecture has changed since we saw the first vault in AC II. That vault looked like the interior of a spaceship. Now the vaults have borderline elvish aesthetics from fantasy RPGs mixed in. The new lore just makes things seem very incoherent and kinda off the cuff. There's no central narrative or themes driving the series anymore.

      @@jones9048 I think you're missing something important. The reason why the Isu archetecture looked like that, especially in Valhalla, was because Eivor's visions of Odin's life were influenced by her cultural expectations, so while the events themselves were accurate to what was happening to the Isu at the time, names and appearances greatly differed. This is shown in Valhalla's Secret Ending where Ragnarok as Odin saw is shown as it really looked and compared to the Ragnarok Eivor saw. Everything's futuristic and not High Fantasy, and the Solar Flare is burning the world.

    I just saw a comment on this video about the quality of your videos improving and you responded with how there's still improvments to be made with sound.
    I'm a filmmaker/videographer and I've got a few tips.
    1. Use a high quality mic. Ideally a studio condenser. If you already are, then add a pop filter since that will help diffuse the vocals so harsh sounds like your "P" and the hissing from "S" will dimenish.
    2. Close all doors and windows when recording. If your room echos, lay down some blankets. If you're abke to hang mkre blankets off the walls, do that. They will absorb the sound instead of it reflecting off the hard surfaces and back into your room. You can also fill up your room with large stuff so it kills the echo.
    3. If you have access to proper software like adobe audition/premiere pro, record in a wav format instead of MP3. MP3 is compressed.
    4. As a final, enhance your audio using adobe ai enhance. It's also known as adobe podcast. I use it for the majority of my projects and it's recovered really terrible recordings with echo and noise and enhanced it to male it sound like it was recorded in a professional booth
    Edit: Let me know if you need any advice or help. I'd be more than happy to help

    I will say that one piece of Eden with lore and a HUGE impact on the franchise (one game at least...) that you didn't bring up, is the artifact that Shay found in Portugal, causing the giant earthquake that wiped the city of Lisbon from the map.
    These artifacts are confusing in what they do or were meant to do, as they seem to have no active effect when sitting in their rightful place, but as soon as they are removed, they crumble to dust, triggering a cataclysmic earthquake as a resault, which also happened when they found another similar artifact in Haiti.
    My own guess is that they were basicly meant to stabilize the planets geology, preventing seismic events like earthquakes to protect the Izu installations and so on in the past, pretty much putting all seismic activity on hold during their time... So when the cataclysm burned the world, most of these stabilizeres were damaged or destroyed with only a few still in place, and when they were removed, the stored seismic waves each could hold were then unleashed all at once...

    Munro wanted the Trident to take it off the table, as he wasn’t acting in support of Assassins or Templars. The six teenagers whose lineages were the key to finding the prongs were able to commune with Minerva, who gave them a way to remove the Trident’s power and defeat the Instrument of the First Will member with ambitions to its destructive capabilities.
    This trilogy is what’s referenced in some emails you can read in Odyssey, when Victoria was looking after teenagers. Perhaps that’s why she was so weary about the Staff and its influence on Layla, she’d seen Isaiah with the Trident.

      I'd say the action scenes were enjoyable enough to warrant a look. Other than that, yeah, it wasn't great. Dialogue was subpar and even for a long time fan of the franchise the plot can be hard to follow. Just look for combat scenes on UA-cam or do some skipping on the streaming services if the rest doesn't interest you.

    I don't know why this would matter (not a serb myself), but Tesla was of serbian ethnicity born in the modern day Croatia village of Smiljan during the Austrian Empire (later the Austrian-Hungarian Empire)

    what i always hated with the sword retcons is that in AC2 the sword of eden 1 was heavily implied to be joan of arc sword and excalibur/sword in the sword and the sword of persues one and the same stating that it had a VERY VERY LONG history of being in vefy important leader events.

    I personally dislike the Pieces of Eden. Let me explain.
    I grew up with Assassin's Creed. When the first game dropped, I was in my early teens. It was like nothing I've seen before. Instant addiction. Open world action adventure games were still new and rare enough back then that the mere existence of a world of this size and immersion where you could go anywhere, climb anywhere, blew minds. Not to mention really cool animations and back then awe-inspiring graphics and render distance.
    I personally didn't pay too much mind to the science fantasy elements. I've always been a massive history enthusiast, and to me, the ability to explore history was more enjoyable. Yes, these elements and the conspiracies stuff was interesting and fun, but I could imagine enjoying these games without them. Also not having as strong English as I nowadays have made me miss much of what was said to begin with.
    However, now that I'm older and mature, I've grown to dislike the Pieces of Eden. What this list is really underlining is making humans seem incapable of controlling their own fate or create their own success - a bit like what the Ancient Aliens show does. Every success story has a PoE behind it, every great inventor has touched one, and no one becomes a great leader without the aide of a magical McGuffin. They just take away our own agency and downplay what us humans are really capable of.
    In my opinion, the PoEs should have remained rare and be used sparingly by the writers. That would allow at least some human geniuses to shine on their own merits, great conquerors be masters of their own craft, and leaders and thinkers be moving the minds of others through sheer talent, charisma and strength of will alone. Now, the doubt will always be there.

      While I do agree that PoEs are a little over saturated the humans having limited control of their fate is literally the point, the isu literally used PoEs to strip humans of their free will to control them, and as a fan of both history and mythology I think the PoEs are a nice way to blend the supernatural parts of mythology while also tying in the way some historical people seemed to also have mythical abilities

      Exactly, he never takes on his father’s name. Granted, he may use it as an alias for after the events of the game since we only have one comic for that period and that’s focusing on his Native side, but there’s no evidence he did.

      It's his official surname. If we took it from historians perspective we wouldn't care how he felt about it. Is he son of Kenway? Yup and that also makes him Kenway.
