This game on permadeath is so cool

Hey Leo, I wanna say this video and your other video on how to stop hurting really helped me in my personal life and it lead me to dig deeper into many things and not only did those videos have that effect but your whole channel has. because of your channel I've changed as a person which seems a bit weird but you led me to look at many things in many different ways and your talks about AC led me to have a very different and more "rogue-like" look on life ;). During the time I originally found your channel, I was struggling with relationships, I kept getting into relationships unprepared and most of my relationships at that time didn't even last half of a year because I was just a negative force intruding on parts of their life. I was very hateful and angry at the world, my outlook was very much a "narcissistic-edgy-communist" type of one and I had a god-complex type of mindset and I think I looked at things in this way as a coping method to deal with my trauma and how I was treated and what I did was tunnel my past trauma into hate towards myself, people around me in my personal life and the world. I also hid who I was and my sexual preference for a long time, I also hid hobbies I loved from people to not seem like or be called a "nerd" or a so called "loser" or even some homophobic slurs that got tossed at me at a young age. Watching you was like seeing how I wanted to be displayed in front of me and it made me heavily reflect on my life, my way of living, my philosophy and how I treated people around me. This was a long time ago now, and I've completely changed my way of living and that push that helped get me there was you and your channel, now I'm a much more positive person, alot more of an emotionally intelligent person, quite a spiritual type of person and quite an optimistic person. Anyway thank you Leo for making the content you do and being the person you are, without your channel I don't know where I'd be~ <3 Also I have a question if you don't mind, how do you deal with conflict and when your opinion clashes with another so they shoot yours down? I feel like I let things get to me sometimes and I just start being flat out rude to them when my intentions are to normally try and help them and show them my way of understanding but is it sometimes better to perhaps just ignore them depending on the topic/reason? I'm just curious on your way of dealing with it, of course through life I have developed ways to deal with it but recently it's been getting to me a bit more. Once again Thank You Leo, the impact you've had on my life is unexplainable. Stay stafe and may fog shroud you, may stars light your way and may the night keep you safe ;] <3 (I'm quite tired when writing this so my apologies if anything I've said or if my grammar seems a bit sloppy x_x)

Free run like jumping beam to beam or side eject old AC better but climbing walls newer AC is better like AC Unity I like climbing then running so

200 hours into the game, never triggered the event. I guess it's time for a bow run

Which ac do you enjoy sneakin' around in? (besides brotherhood)

Just thought that I hope they kept the slide because it would be really cool and stylish to slide into a prone position imo

even this game have ejects

This video is instantly a better AC parkour video than 99.99% of AC Parkour videos out there despite there being 0 parkour in this video.

An excellent discussion between the two of you. AD is not only (arguably) the best player in terms of hands-to-buttons understanding/ability of Classic AC parkour among those with any sort of public recognition, but is also one of the most cogent thinkers & rhetoricians as pertains to the defence & promotion of the merits of Classic AC’s parkour. Even when it comes to the mods, his ability to foresee potential problems of misuse by the generally uninformed public of the mod’s expanded functionality has consistently been on point and his prophylactic efforts to prevent these in the mod’s promotion have no doubt been instrumental in ensuring that the public perception of the mod is at least largely line with the intentions of its creators. The impact that parkour choreo has had on the AC skilling scene in just the last 4 years has been remarkable and it’s clear that (at least within the more dedicated communities) the Overton window of parkour discourse has certainly shifted heavily in our favour, evidence of this being that even official Ubisoft products are using community parkour terminology, viz. Mirage eject patch notes. It’ll be interesting to see the effects of this moving forward, especially now with the mod existing as a concrete finished-product model for nigh exactly what we want from AC so long as it maintains the semi-automated movement paradigm it’s had since the beginning. Let’s hope Ubisoft finally takes the right message from the community on this issue.

This was a nice discussion I really liked the movement topics in this video. Also I feel 1:56:00 wanting to go for a risky move near the end of a run or spending 3 hours for a 3 minute stealth sequence.

I'm no expert or a professional. But I'm content with myself at how much button discipline I've known all this time, on my own, without even knowing I was performing button discipline. It feels like simple intuition on my part.

AC games have different soundtracks for combat, flight, pause menu, main menu etc. I was curious which game has your favorite soundtrack for some of the things listed above. I really like the AC1 Acre combat theme and the AC2 pause theme.

Really happy to hear that it's still possible that someone who started from Odyssey can go back and appreciate and show off the classics. I hope that a good amount of new players coming in with Shadows will follow in these footsteps. I especially loved the way you referenced the Arkham games and how they expanded systems on each iteration, and it makes me all the more frustrated that AC didn't follow suit in the same way. The main point I'm taking away is that if Ubi ever made an AC game that's just a level designer with the fixed classic parkour system, I would play that game forever. Excited for part 2 ^_^

This was a very entertaining, insightful and surprisingly relatable talk to listen to! I found myself nodding my head to creating related behavioural patterns a lot more than expected and I'm very glad to see Luka given so much time to react to different questions by translating intent into a stored form of communication that I can and will happily revisit in the future as a reliable point of reference. I vibe a lot with the way these Rogue Chats have naturally developed over the last few months and just like Animus Drifter's parkour runs they were able to quickly become a classic and favourite of mine in terms of new video formats I'm now looking forward to. Thanks to both of you for taking the time to share your thoughts in such an extensive yet amusing and short-winded manner, making even a 2 plus hour long interview feel focused and purposeful.

I'm always surprised that, when talking about movement in classic AC, no one ever mentions that it's camera relative and not character relative. That has caused so much confusion and has affected the image of AC 1-Rev very negatively. The input to do a side eject in those game CHANGES based on where your camera is facing. If you know it, it's an easy thing to get around, but a lot of casual players failed to understand this.

Dark prince vs sand wraith who wins

Never clicked on a video so fast. Looking forward to those movement by AC subseries videos. No pressure 😁

So are you saying its a Rouge like game

Is this like a podcast/is a podcast?

1:03:40 Sounds like you need to make a new AC Guide to Movement XD

Yup. Perfect start to the work day.

I'm less than half-way through but great to see these two prophets of AC chat! ^-^

This is a good birthday gift 🥰🥰

Next up: Rogue chat with darby mcdevitt

I feel like i enjoy unitys parkour because of how it feels (Even if i agree that ac 1 to rev is more consistent) But every time i hear aRnO Do PrEttY twirl meme i get slightly agitated because first it makes me feel like a toddler😅 And second it always shifts the conversation to animation>control discustion which doesnt allow for any discussion on what mechanics unity introduced and how they can be made more precise (And WAAAY more convos) But all we always talk about is the same animation>control conversation Maybe if we can recognize the things that make unity what it is we can reach a point of understanding why people adore it and why others adore ac 1 to rev system Hell, we might even learn to love them both (Sorry for the long comment)

I wonder if u would have a discussion on combat throughout the games because i miss the old style and the new style is starting look like souls/dmc type of combat which is good but i want AC to have its own style and from ac1-rev was going somewhere, at least i had hope.

Absolutely insane!

only 20 mins in but i need to ask, why do you guys keep acting like its rare for someone to prefer the first 4 games. i thought that was the default view for most ac fans

Luka is such a smart person and he is an incredible creator that I'm glad is apart of the AC community

YESSSSSSS

Why we love classic AC? Easy.... two words: Puppeteering System!

You should get the hidden one, the spaniard or the exile as a guest

2:02:58 I remember this! The choreo experience sure is mysterious. At any rate, this was a great discussion with probably one of the best and most relevant faces of the current wave of classic AC techies. Lots of really great stuff here that touches on a lot of complex issues regarding skill, mechanics, and audience perceptions that are explained almost effortlessly. Looking forward to part 2!

That final part with the Summoned Spirit was ingenious and exactly the type of thing that is making me fall in love with this genre. I've been playing Dark Souls Remastered for a few weeks now and the level of freedom and functionality in that game is almost surreal when compared to other games that force your hand so much and break on you constantly.

This is one duo I don't want to mess around with!😅

Ok, my favorite thing hands down is the list that you get as your objective, my least favorite thing about ac especially the kenway saga which are the only games I’ve played so far, is the forced turning on of ship health/button prompts/enemy counter windows etc, and other objectives such as the ship you need to follow that makes the spy glass thing where it shows the name of the ship all but useless but I keep it on bc I want to see the loot I get from enemies

1:41:30 the bleeding effect is so real when u havent played in awhile and u do another marathon the muscle memories come back and u slowly start to remember how to parkour and stuff xD

Now I wanna know Leo's secret server name😮😂

Love these discussions always interesting and worth tuning into

fym "part 1" after releasing a 2 hour discussion

HELL YEAH. I'm saving this one for work tomorrow. Gonna save my entire Friday.

Excited to watch this one, his AC1 video blew my mind!

I thought he was an old timer who just started CZcams recently, but no he's a "new" player who started with Odyssey. That's amazing

Thank you both for your insight and inspiration :)

Lets GOO! love these rogue chats havent missed a single episode, keep them up leo! ❤

putting the tuxedo on for this rn

Amen

LUKA x LEO 🥶💜

FINALLY

YOO FINALLY!!!
