Ask and ye shall receive, I suppose.
Hope you feel acomplished
Wow, this works?
Templar
My mom said its okay as long as i ask nicely
I'm so disappointed that they didn't utilize Desmond's character more. When I was little I always thought they'd have these games build up to him retaining this ancient assassins knowledge, and eventually having a modern day game with no ties to history besides the current power templars within Abstergo.
Yeah I was stoked when they had those modern day missions in AC3, I thought thats where the series is headed
I definitely always assume that and think everyone else did as well.
Yeah that's what I always thought the endgame of Assassin's Creed was going to be. Feels like wasted potential narratively imo
@@richardarnez4932 Might be latency depending on your country. Or then not.
@@richardarnez4932 Why you on bro’s meat
Can't blame him for falling for that elevator trick, none of his ancestors even knew what an elevator was.
I am almost certain Ezio saw some form of elevator
@@devon8438 He's used a lift but never one where he was directly ambushed afterwards.
So, it was part of the Bleeding Effect?
@@CamSiv996 I highly doubt it. It was just a simple way to get to higher floors. Dez was just dumb thinking they wouldnt shut it down immediately lol
so you have to have your ancestors knowing about an contraption or an event in order for yourself to know about it too? 💀
3:51 Mans really drew his semi-automatic pistol like it was still 1776 and fired it once and missed lol
I'm crying 😂😂
BRO 😂
What's worse, he didn't miss. He shot his partner, because the player used them as a human shield.
@@fernando47180 that's because he died of cringe. his heart exploded at the thought of someone taking their time with a modern day firearm like a got danged redcoat
I noticed that in Revelations
Seeing Desmond finally put all his Assassin skills to use was extremely satisfying. The ending of the game was NOT.
Ubi had to make that choice you know.
@@mozartcastellanosGK Doesn't make the finale any less awful.
@@iveyyewitt1621 how was it awful? Desmond „sacrificed himself“ (since Valhalla we know only his body died but whatever) to save the world.
Ad now Desmond is STILL trying to save the world/humanity by looking for possible futures without catastrophes.
Desmond is the most badass character in all of AC
@@MisterK9739 Each to their own but a majority of the community agrees they killed off Desmond too early but at the same time I get why they went with the end of the world route and his sacrifice since in 2012 there were plenty of rumors that the world was going to end if I remember correctly
@@DomosBack101 they still didn't need to go that route though honestly, maybe he could've activated the machine and gone into a coma or something other. Sure it would've been a rehash of revelations but while he recovers we play a whole new character for a bit. And then have Desmond return if need be for a modern day game. Thankfully they didn't do it though since it probably would've included that rpg nonsense they did in the new games
He literally has the skills and strength of THREE assassins!!!
5* Edward, and Haytham were part of his bloodline too. You only know of Edward afterwards his death but there wouldn't be Haytham and Connor without him.
@@lordofrims I'm pretty sure desmond never played edward's memories and haytham was no assassin. So technically just 3 assassins.
@@lordofrims Desmond never experienced Edwards memories
@@theelement_c6684 well haytham was initially trained as an assassin and has the skills of one so I'd count it
@@ViperOnRR In laptop of AC Valhalla, Desmond says that experienced the sounds of pirats
"21st century and you're still going around with a little knife for protection?" Said the genie who approached the range of a trained assassin's knife.
Has gun, doesn't hold range. Dumb villain shit.
an assasin that uses knives should always carry a gun. even if it’s a simple one shot musket.
Seems like desmond listens as he stole that guys gun
I love how with these segments, there were no UI, no button prompts, minimal indicators. Really simulating what it really would be like fighting in the “real” world than in the Animus.
What I really like about this is that their absence in the real world is basically ‘confirmation’ that Desmond ‘sees’ those buttons when he’s in the animus. They aren’t just for you, they’re for Desmond, guidance and reminders as he works through his ancestors memories. I like these little details in games
@@drakeshade6919 Desmond wouldn't see any buttons because he wouldn't be able to interact with them. he has no input device like a controller, he simply performs all the actions by doing them in his mind. but maybe he could see some of the non-interactive UI-elements like the map for example.
the pc version had the graphic setting set to very high when you exited the animus to make it seem like all the options were a part of the animus. to me it was a very stupid decision as i had a low-grade pc at the time so the modern day parts were like 5fps and why would desmond even want to reduce the graphics of the memories?
@@MadDunhillyou said it yourself, he has his mind, that’s his input device. i imagine in the context of the animus, it’d be much easier for your mind to link actions to something shorter and snappier to remember, like a letter or a shape, hence the controller prompts in the animus, and then the bleeding effect does most of the work for him
@@LuvNukro yes you're right actually, i just looked it up: "At first, Abstergo found their test subjects having difficulty adapting to the Animus control scheme, so they changed the controls to match that of gaming consoles, projecting the controls into the users' mind and significantly improving their response rate, allowing for quicker adaption" i never knew they were literally playing with gaming controls in the Animus all this time lol.

😂😂
Shon is so smart, he even advised Desmond to use... ELEVATOR?!
No cap in that ubisoft should have designed the stages well it also felt pretty unrealistic to me it's not possible how desmond it
You won't be noticed if there is no one left notice you.
I noticed one guard did use a gun, but his animation looked like he was using a musket.
Sucks that they killed off Desmond. It felt like they were building him up to be one of the greatest assassins that has ever lived.
They were, Nolan North said the original story would have had him learning from all his ancestors and becoming a master assassin so he could take down Abstergo.
@@jiovanirivera852 I liked my theory in AC4 where Desmond didn't actually die, but lived and had amnesia, and we were actually playing Desmond, since the father is the mechanic
He literally was the greatest to ever live
@@jiovanirivera852 Yep, I remember that talk, something about using the bleeding effect as a gameplay mechanic to overcome obstacles in the modern day. The three modern missions in AC3 were absolute highlights for me, despite some inherent AC3 jankiness.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 yeah it'd be like accessing the animus in real time or something like that.
Ah yes, the Assassins. Masters of stealth. Blending into a crowd, striking and vanishing into thin air. Faceless and unknowable. Truly, Desmond has learned well.
He could've at least worn his hidden blade under his sleeve... Lol
Ezio , altair and other assasins : ill blend in with the crowd, hidden in plain sight to make sure no one ever sees me.
Connor and desmond : doesnt matter if anyone sees me if there is no one left alive to remember me.
@@andrewp1653fr💀
To be fair his ancestors didn't have CCTV
This mission made me wish we had an assassins creed game set in the present rather than the past😭
I like to just pretend that’s what watchdogs 1 is lol
@@jimbenzo there is a watch dogs legion dlc where you play as assassin
@@valera_animation I’m already knowing, but legion is kinda ass lol

@@valera_animation Ubisoft dissapointed me more than ever when they said Legion wouldn't have anymore updates lol
Nobody:
Guard at 3:51: "Guys, I got this."
Guard: *Pulls out his gun and proceeds to shoot the wall directly.*
He’s trying his best okay!
And somehow he still shot his buddy
and then puts it away after one shot and tries instead to bitch slap Desmond
@@BlayBlaytheNutcase Major fault with the game mechanics. Seems as though they didn't want to create different AI logic for both the muzzle loader pistols back in the in-animus scenes and modern day Desmond fights, so the guards seemed to want to wait two minutes between shots with a semi-auto too. Either laziness or they didn't want the Desmond fights to be so frustrating players set the game down.
Ah yes, a piece of eden. The gun of eden, it has homing bullets.
Desmond with the innate/inherited abilities of Altair, Ezio, and now Connor just seems so damn OP lmao
Yeah he is probably the most skilled assassin
Well, consider that he's collected the experience of 3 seperate assassin's who spent decades hpnong thier skills, in a matter of days/weeks.
Altair: 96 years
Ezio: 64 years
Connor: 29 years
Combine those together and Desmond has nearly 200 years of Master Assassin's skills and knowledge in his head in little over a month.
So yeah, dude is OP 🤣
@@ShadowKamehameha32 I thought Connor died in his 50’s
@@valera_animation I was factoring in the age Connor was at the end of AC3, when Desmond stopped using his memories
@@ShadowKamehameha32 oh ok
Honestly, despite Vidic supposedly being a highly intelligent man, it was pretty stupid of him to think Desmond would give him the Apple WITHOUT using it. Especially considering that Desmond's bloodline is actually known to be highly resistant to the effects of Isu artifacts.
Eh well, people by this point STILL don't really know how the artifacts work, and you need Desmond or William to be able to delve into that ancestorial line by this point. Desmond got out and all Vidic had seen was Altair simply finding the apple, not Ezio using it in Rome, or Desmond in his coma living Altair using the apple with a lifetimes worth of proficiency.
Yeah it was retarded he wouldn't just shoot him on contact.
But no. "HAND IT TO ME, Hand me the overpowered, super weapon that I KNOW is capable of mind control!"
They really should've played it up better with Vidic. I really disliked this part of AC3 and how they completely end him like that. Nothing against killing him but this was just such a stupid segment altogether. He was a great antagonist across the games.
@@xDinomanx Yeah that was the thing with AC3- Desmond and Vidic were the closest things to a main protagonist and a main antagonist. They both get off'd and they still haven't been able to fill the void. Doesn't help that Layla and Juno were thrown away just as anti-climatically.
If only we got continuation of Desmonds story... There was something special about going back to modern time and knowing about the secrets and ancient powers of the world. It gave you this sense of being on top of the world. Him walking into abstergo and all the doctors being scared just by seeing him. Brings me back to the first game where you went back to the brotherhood as an old man and everyone acknowledged you. Like a ghost coming to haunt someone.
Havent played it myself but apparently they brought him back with an asspull in valhalla, who knows maybe they'll fix the games soon
@@Bruh-ok1rq They never will. Assassin’s creed’s modern day died with 3. The gameplay died with syndicate.
@@dagothurik1815 you know, AC Origins actually is fun, and has an acceptable story for Bayek. But the modern days plotline is shit since AC4
@@Delta_2209 The game can be fun but it’s not really AC. There’s no social stealth. The hidden blade doesn’t one shot even when undetected. The ability to complete certain targets in whatever order you choose makes the game feel disjointed. It’s only really noticeable with side quests but it’s still there. Complex questions surrounding certain topics are reduced to juvenile humor.
@@dagothurik1815 There's no stealth *period.* Sneaking in Valhalla is impossible and you always get caught if you try. Also, you don't even play as assassins in either odyssey nor valhalla, even though it would've been appropriate in the latter. Some guy at Ubisoft watched Vikings and went "which game series can I make this in" instead of actually thinking about the centuries-spanning feud. They even had a perfectly good reason to make Eivor an assassin and threw it away. I genuinely have no idea what they were thinking, and at this point I feel like even *I* can write up a better story than them.
“You put everything on the line, just so you could rescue your father?”
“Yeah.”
I really love this exchange between them, just the subtle understanding between them that there’s no changing who either of them are, but that they’ll always be there for one another.
Desmond's Dad wouldn't have come for him. He put the creed first. This is a theme in AC3.
Yeah he is an awful person. And incompetent as well. If he cannot take care of one son, how is he allowed to lead the Assassins? It doesn't make sense. Family is more important, even for someone in their situation. You cannot put the creed first and then expect people to trust you.
@@alinpetrescu2309 There's some audio in black flag in the modern day that delves into this deeper. Mr.Miles is repentant but you also see how great a person Desmond was.
I both hate and love this level, it’s like “YES, Desmond is kicking all the ass and showing what a badass he is” but I feel it should have been significantly more difficult. Why are the guards so likely armed? They kidnapped an Assassin Grandmaster and the taunted the Order, they should be ready for War, not relying on a bunch of security guards and one unstable experiment
All they needed was a couple of guys with taser guns and a few flashbangs. Extra points if they show up with riot gear.
They're fighting a dude with some knives, yet believe bringing some clubs is more than enough.
"one unstable experiment" LMAOO
Well usually guards for companies have a baton and pistol. Besides I think the guards were told to take him in alive based on the conversations and Desmond's potential for further research. Daniel Cross is a guard as well who could of taken down Desmond.
I think we can see this as the Templars being fully confident that they have already won, thus they don't bother with any serious security.
@@virgiljianu7166They're cocky with their numbers and strength over the Assassins, so why increase security at all?
This actually reminded me of last moments of AC2 where you get out of animus and they throw you the hidden blade. If you equiped your fists at this point you could disarm an enemy and get the batton to smack them with. Just a cool detail for any lost soul reading this.
Don't forget the beginning when all you have is altair's knowledge and you gotta fight your way out with lucy.
AC2 was great going unarmed and stealing the massive axes of the elite guards, then causing absolute havoc.
"They know I'm here", look, we agree he is a badass , but you gotta admit him walking in the most possible modern assassin's outfit he could get, kinda gave it away, lmao
its so crazy how desmonds clothes were exactly what the wanna be ezios of the school halls wore
tbh all of his ancestors always prefer the drip over a disguise
Desmond walked in the front door. He was the only one to walk out. He's not an assassin, he's the oncoming storm.

Asking him to “give me the Apple” was the equivalent of a movie villain asking the vigilante to “let me go!” while being held by their tie, dangling on the precipice of a rooftop.
Ever since AC 1, THIS was what I always wanted from an AC game: a modern day assassin mission. The historical settings are awesome and all, but I was always curious how they'd make the formula apply to the modern day setting, where guards don't regularly patrol rooftops but _do_ have guns. They didn't disappoint.
Ehm yeah regarding firearms they did, was laughable 😅
Its so disappointing that Desmond was just killed off and forgotten about by ubisoft. This could have been the perfect opportunity to give us a modern day assassins creed
He's in Valhalla
He wasn't forgot, cause at least in Blackflag u can find Desmond's memories in the Abstergo's office
The assassins series jump from one timeline to the other so who knows what they might do in the future.
@@Mr.Silence. Those games aint even assassins creed anymore...Its nothing but the "fast and furious" of gaming
@@nicksalehi97 how are they not assassins creed games? Bayek created the assassins order in origins, Kassandra in oddesy uses two pieces of Eden as her main weapons, collects multiple apples of Eden, is a decendant of the ones who came before, and the grandfather of her child is Darius from the statue in Assassin's Creed 2, and Evior from Valhalla works directly with the assassins and is also connected to the ones who came before. And in all 3 you hunt templars as part of the main plot. In what way aren't they assassins creed games?
The fact that he killed them meanwhile they were just injuring him
I meant he assassin after all and they work for Templar sooo
Well as you hear immediately over the intercom "subdue the subject" they would prefer to keep him alive to use his genes to the fullest. After his death in 3 they had to resort to dead dna and not as effective methods for a bit
Are we.. the baddies?
Well some of the guards try and shoot Desmond in gameplays
Let’s be honest the people shooting him are just trying to get a pay check 😂😂
I always though it was so stupid that his sleeve is under the hidden blade. It's a "hidden" blade. Shouldn't he have his sleeve over top of it so no one can see it?
guess he making use of "open carry" XD
No need hiding in that level. Everyone knows he is a goddamned assassin.
Because it is on the inside part of his forearm, that's why it calls Hidden Blade. Same with all the assassins that are not "hidden".
The blade would get caught on the hoodie if it was inside the sleeve. Everyone in the memories uses the inner forearm of bracers, which is why it's considered hidden. You need a constant space around the blade for it to be useful in any way.
@@135SolidSnake i think desmond could pull off a bracer
I wish Desmond's story didn't end in AC3, there are still a lot of potentials 😭
They originally wanted his story to continue but ubisoft was dumb
@@thegunganking169really? What’s the story behind that? Someone upper level wanted to move on?
I remember this is level you can actually use their gun. I think after killing them you can pick it up and then you can shoot enemies.
@J M He took it from Cross, the guy he chased down
I’ll never forget how Nolan North gave an interview in which he said Desmond was meant to be the ultimate assassin who takes down Abstergo and would be able to manipulate time at the end (the calculations)
"Hey! I'm here for the interview"
6:08
I love how far Desmond had come, from having no idea how to fight barely handling a few guards (Ac 1) to learning and honing his skills and realizing his potential and importance (Ac 2) to casually and skillfully murdering guards at ease as he makes his way to the top of the building (Ac 3) AC 3 will always be my favorite 👍
I like the idea at the end, instead of killing them, You make them realised just how utterly powerless they are.
I like how the guards have semi automatic pistols but still take like 10 seconds to line up the shot and fire one bullet
The golden age of Assassin’s Creed. I’m really sad that I grew genuinely exhausted with the gameplay after Origins.
yeah. enemies don't just die from a stealth skill anymore, there's no counter one-hit kills with fluid combat movements and the game becomes more and more depended on good lootboxes that has "legendary equipment" instead of having to gather collectibles and craft for endgame stuff. People also have levels now that makes them able to tank hits that's supposed to kill them in real life, which takes away that bit of realism that the old games has. Even parkour movements on maps is becoming less prevalent. Assassin's Creed is becoming more like a generic grindy triple A combat games rather than the stealth-themed action-packed series it was before.
And it seems like Ubisoft has this little knack of going back in time lately eventhough Assassins doesn't mostly exist yet back then. If it's a one time thing that contributes to the story like Origins then sure, but going as far back as the Spartan era or Vikings is way too farfetched for a game that's supposed to be about Assassins imo
After unity the the whole creed series went downhill
@@jalenbrown5306 I'm just wondering when they'll be publishing an AC game set in the modern era. They pretty much got a lot of it going already in Desmond's parts in the old games. Would be cool to actually see one of the actual modern day assassins in-action and fighting the war against Abstergo in some open-world modern city.
Watch Dogs doesn't count eventhough it's technically set in the same universe.
Edit: although considering how they make the latest games, it's probably for the best they don't tap into that gold mine yet until they actually got their crap together. Although that likely would not happen in the foreseeable future, if at all considering their latest business practices.
I didn't make it past Black Flag, and even then I was only showing up for the at the time revolutionary ocean sailing mechanic. I was pretty ready to give up on AC after the terrible ending of 3 made it pretty clear they had no idea where they should have been going with the story.
@@AIrfan-cz2kt true, add to this the hushing around gameplay instead of counter attacks, often no finishers (so the enemies just fly away 3m), magic flame swords and auto elongated 3m spears/axes..right now they just use various mythology stuff and call it piece of eden lore... If I remember right they even ended that Juno story in a comic 🙄. I found Odyssey and Valhallas open world way to repetitive and had way too often the feeling "hold on I where there before", these games need citys, not a village of 6 straw roof houses 😂. As much as I understand the hype for choice dialogues they often have no consequenses and the cutscenes feel so dead.
Seeing Desmond fight felt like upgraded techniques of Altair, Ezio and Conner. And not only technique kills he also used his surrounding cautiously like jumping through walls and stuff
he also runs like altair.
This bit made me realise the huge potential Desmond had at such a young age (25) he had Altair, Ezio and Conor skills combined, he can handle so many opponents. Now imagine if Desmond(the reader) was in his mortal form fighting against Loki aka Basim.
once they made the bizarre decision to kill this guy off, thats the moment assassins creed died for me. there was an actual plot here, some secret dark organization and the only guy who can stop them is Desmond, a man that has connections to legendary skilled assassins who were his ancestors. from AC1 - 3 it looked like they were building up a modern day assassins creed game with Desmond and I was actually excited for it. then they just suddenly decided "hey, you know what's a great idea? lets kill the guy we've been developing for years and completely erase the plot" now these games are just mindless killing games, I haven't touched an ac game since 4 because 4 was when it all went to hell. theres no real main character anymore, every game is just playing some random assassin in a different era, hell the most recent ones don't even look like assassin games.
The most recent games are RPG style games, the worst style in my opinion
You said it all man
Yo, i had the same experience as you in terms of where i stopped with the games. Got a ps4 during the lockdown to play what i'd missed, and Unity is a bonafide classic game. It strived to reach the pinnacle of classic Assassin's Creed gameplay regarding stealth and free-running, and in my opinion achieved that for the most part. You might enjoy it, if you have the chance. Oh, and play it in French with subtitles, Arnot is considerably less annoying lol
i think abstergo do exist and it is ubisoft.
@@TheTangyappleI think Unity, once they fixed it after that abysmal launch was a fantastic game set in revolutionary France, however I’m still bitter the modern day story has gone to shit. It’s been revived to a degree with Layla but it really isn’t the same. A lot of the lore in modern day is in the files that cannot be accessed from inside the animus, and since you cannot leave it at will you get it few and far between.
How I miss the real AC days and its story.
Altair: his intelligence and wisdom
Ezio: his agility and parkour skills
Connor: his brutality and physical strenght
Got it wrong...wisdom and intelligence from ezio
@@ismaelbouissef4436theyre correct
@@five2019 nah..
@@ismaelbouissef4436 Ezio does have wisdom but compared to Altair, Ezio doesnt stand close. Altair was a cocky selfish assassin to a humble wise assassin. He did learn the secrets of the apple although Desmond probably didnt inherit his wisdom and knowledge since he was only Altair for almost a week? (Actually forgotten how many days Ac 1 was)
I like how the guards have non-lethal weapons and Desmond just mercilessly murders them
ah yes, non-lethal Heckler & Koch Mark 23
The third guard was took down peacefully and he just laid there like a smart man. The fourth guard died horribly
Number 3's neck was broke
It hits harder when you realize that he's had to live through Connor's memories of killing his father. Desmond was determined.
No panic. No anger. Straight up gets to the point and leaves.
Actually Desmond hadn't reach that point in Connor's memories yet during this mission.

@@rambroplays Characters are good- story is somewhat leering between coherent and incoherent to the ORIGINAL plot, but almost everything is as good as something.

I like how the knife just materializes in his offhand when he gets into a fight
People seem upset about the killing of the guards. I kind of doubt these guards have no blood on their hands. Calling them 9 to 5ers is kind of bullshit. I mean they used to keep Desmond prisoner here. They have to know what they are doing is fucked as well, else they would be calling the cops that kind of things. Make no mistake, Miles would be basically dead if they caught him. Get all moral about it all you want. They're not good people. Take the guards he killed with the apple. Surrounding a guy whos tied up in a chair with guns and holding him so your boss can blackmail someone? Yea sounds like they're definitely on the right side of the law. There is ab old saying. You sleep next to dogs you get fleas. IRL in a situation like this these guards got what they had coming. If you find that unagreeable it might be because your in a similar situation yourself and while probably not as dire or deadly as this maybe you should do something to change that.
Yeah but remind this they were all kind of brainwashed if you played rogue a find one of otso berg's Warren ask one of this men to give him his in order that berg will kill him at first he was shocked but he ultimately obey just to make you understand how brainwashed they are
Finally! Someone with a working mind
tbf absetrgo probably owns the cops so calling them would be useless
Literally every character from ac kills regular 9-5ers
Okay but forcing them to kill themselves whilst they're actively resisting is just a LITTLE bit fucked up
Desmond learned from grandpa Altaïr to use that Apple against Vidic.
3:51 really kind of that guy to so confidently fire in the completely wrong direction
It would've been a neat little detail if they let Desmond keep Ezio's fighting style instead of copy and pasting Connor's style on him.
Why wouldn’t Desmond be using Connors fighting style
@@AbysmalRandomn3ss 'Cause he got his abilities through the bleeding effect while living through Ezio's memories, not Connor's and Desmond isn't affected by the bleeding effect anymore after finding the sync nexus in Revelations.

Still don't understand why Vic thought threatening the guy with the most powerful artifact known to mankind in his hands was a good idea. I mean he's in the same room and doesn't bother with protection lol
It's so fucking funny too. You want Desmond to hand over the ancient artifact with obvious mind control powers? Lol okay smartass
Even Desmond seemed amused that he knew how that was going to end
Only certain people can use the apple's abilities. I don't think Vic knew that Desmond could use it.
@@alexmo1941 Okay that explains Vic's hubris. Thank you for explaining that.
Back in the days when Assassin’s Creed games made you excited all the time on every quest. Not just the first 30 hours to complete some main story.
"Subdue him!"
*proceeds to brutally murder dozens of guards, stabbing their faces and mutilating them, despite having the ability to simply subdue and stun them in kind.*
So heroic.
His faction is called Assassins, not Stunners.
Man, remember when we all thought they were building up to a modern day Assassin's Creed starring Desmond?
This game and Brotherhood had the best out of Animus gameplay. I think it would be fitting if they did a final Assassin's Creed game that takes place in the modern-day
How hard can it be to have this be a full game? Let us play in the modern age damn it
Abstergo: Subdue the subject, please.
Desmond: Did anybody say murder?
4:58 its like, how are we supposed to suspend our disbelief when the game literally has a character tell desmond how ridiculous it is that he's carving through security like this without a gun. desmond only survives because cross has the most ridiculously convenient mental breakdown of all time.
And because Desmond was just holding still, doing nothing for some reason? Like dude. Juke him. Do something.
Vidic: We enrich lives. We save and transform them.
Desmond: Yeah. I’m sure Lincoln, JFK, Houdini, Gandhi, Joan of Ark, and the victims of the Holocaust all felt ‘saved’ by what the Templars did to them, Doc.
They had it. They literally had the key to this franchise in their hands. Then I guess too many people left, and too many new people showed up with plans of inclusive characters and “fresh new twists.”
If you're whining about inclusivity, you're not worth listening to
Altair, Ezio and Connor would be proud of him
Altair, Ezios experience and Connors combat skills, all in one man; Desmond Miles.
As much as I loved Desmond's combat sections, I will never get it out of my mind that every single Abstergo guard is only armed with a baton. The creators of the Animus, ran by what is essentially the Illuminati can't afford to give their guards guns.
They probably couldn't handle having to code more guards with guns given the limitations of the game's engine at the time.
And some of the Abstergo security shown here have a mix of batons and pistols but they couldn't make them fire more shots probably due to time and development constraints, so they reused the same animations and AI as the guards during the Connor missions for the modern missions.
i like how desmond walked into an abstergo facility with the hidden blade on full display instead of just rolling his sleeves down
The newer games lack this kind of combat. So explicit and savage.
Remember when people were theorizing AC4 was going to be a send off to the historical ac games in preparation for a escalation of the Templar-Assassins conflict that would have culminated in a 5th game that was all modern day?
Assassins creed hasn't been the same since Desmond died :(
That's what I've been fucking trying to tell people but no they hate Desmond Desmond no reason and now my boi my son dead
True Desmond was like a true Major Protagonist. Now its just some random guy working for Abstergo. Its like they couldn't even have some other Assassin taking Desmond place as the new Protagonist 😒
I plan on replaying the entire AC franchise and achieving 100% completion in all of them. The Ezio trilogy, this part of AC3, and Black Flag are the key moments I'm really looking forward to seeing again.
Me too, But i am waiting for they remaster them. Can not accept 30fps anymore.
@@shikkkkkk 30 fps? What do you play on?
@@shikkkkkk pc?
I've played Black Flag and Rouge on the switch via the Rebel's Collection, still haven't 100% either of them or the DLC for BF
Them feathers got another thing coming for you bruh
Truly,Desmond was the most brutal assassin all time
When I played this game for the first time, the mortality of it all never really hit me. Looking back, Desmond and the Assassins really were just slaughtering random people lol like "Assassins don't kill innocents" but somehow 9-5er security guards (and other random guardsmen just doing their job) weren't innocent? Makes me think of a version of the earlier games that could've been where you'd only be allowed to kill your targets, or certain factions of enemies (IE the British soldiers in III - NOT the guards wandering the city - or the folks of the ships you'd board or forts you'd invade in IV) thus making the games more focused on stealth and being clever with your gadgets to avoid killing innocents.
My my worked up are you?

Really unlikely that they hired Bob from Walmart to guard one of the headquarters of their top secret organization. If they're allowed in the building past the lobby, they're Templars, not 9-5ers.
As for guards during the Animus part of the game- I see it as this: they immediately move to kill you if you so much as trespass; literally no attempt to arrest or detain just straight to killing you, so I don't really lose much sleep over killing those guys.
The parts where you board ships and forts in IV and do raids in Valhalla though is fucked up but that's what Pirates and Vikings did 🤷🏾♂️ nobody said they were good people.
Man what could have been. I so wanted an entire game set in the modern world going around as Desmond with the skills he'd learnt
The Desmond Arc is the most legendary arc in video games.
Alex Cross was a weird Easter Egg to make into a full blown antagonist. You don't learn anything about him if you hadn't read up on him through supplementary material, and he and Desmond's 'rivalry' was barely allowed to build before he dies without even a final word. Like his initial reveal was cool having read The Fall before playing AC3, and seeing him go crazy from the Bleeding Effect and speak Russian was neat, but that's kinda it.
I will say at least Warren Vidic was handled well. His taunting and eventual rage out at Desmond and by extension the Assassins was satisfying. Seeing him break that snide demeanor to vent his frustration on the history of the Assassin and Templar Conflict after so many games was awesome.
Desmond with Altair's, Ezio's and Connor habilities, just epic.
Okay but looking back why did he not just use the Apple the instant he got to the upper levels. He would've been able to freeze the guards instead of killing them, and just take out the actual Templars?? Idk Desmond went a bit crazy now that i see this again.
So did Ezio.
Then he would have showed his hand too early. Vidic wouldn't have taken any chances and killed Desmond's Dad.
@@TheOmegaRiddler Fair and valid. Hadn't thought of that. That's probably why I never questioned it while I was younger.
And who says a modern day assassin’s Creed wouldn’t be good
my favourite part of this break-in is when the guards armed with semi-auto pistols try only one shot, miss it because of shooting 90 degrees to the direction of main hero, and after that one shot obediently rush towards their certain death in melee combat
It's the 21st century and you go around with a tiny knife for protection well desmond slayed half abstergo with that
My only problem with this mission is that it seemed everyone in the building was a Templar, not just some people working for a corp. A decent number turning and preparing is one thing but everyone turns, stares, and acts like it’s the end.
I've been playing through AC Valhalla, and man... I really miss Desmond as the through-line character. This was one of my favorite moments in the entire series, (really, any chance we had to be Desmond moving around and being an Assassin was a massive highlight.) They tried to make Layla the new Desmond, and Layla blows. Not even bringing back Shawn and Rebecca could save her, and I'm not wild about how they changed Shawn's looks and Rebecca's voice actress, either. The focus of the game is always on the historical part, but this central narrative with Desmond, Lucy, Shawn, and Rebecca really held it all together nicely. The series hasn't been the same without them. I was really hoping that eventually, we'd get a full game of just Desmond, until the end of III happened and it became impossible. But a modern AC game with Shawn and Rebecca would actually be really fun, especially since Watch Dogs is part of the same universe and there could be crossover mechanics and story.
dude this combat is the most amazing stuff I've ever seen.. so much better than any new game
That line from Vidic was stuck in my head for some reason over the past hour and I couldn't remember where it is from. Had to look it up on google and it told me it's Warren Vidic, so I remembered it could only be from this scene.
"You just keep taking and taking what isn't yours!"
Great plan, Vidic. Asking the guy who actually can use a mind control mechanism to bring it to you
There are 2 William Miles moments in the Assassin's Creed series that I will always remember. This scene when Desmond rescues his father and the Scene from Origin when William recruits Layla.
i miss those days, this franchise was one of big ones
We need a modern day assassins creed game
I wish Desmond never died he was my favorite, I don't even know the other animus characters names lol
Desmond looks like Altaïr
Thats because hes a descendant from Altair....
Yes, Desmond, Altaïr and Ezio look the same
I really miss this mission
My ABSOLUTE favorite part of ANY assassin's Creed game!!! Beautifully done
Vidic really didn't think his plan through.
'Hmmm let me kidnap the dad of my arch nemesis that currently possess a deadly weapon that can kill anyone easily"
1:55 I have no words for this one till this day and when Connor does this🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
People don’t know what they have until it’s gone.
Everyone hated Desmond until he was gone.
Lowkey gotta appreciate the running animations, that shit feels heavy and real
Desmond kicking the guy down the elevator shaft was awesome and hilarious.
9:08 "Persona!“
Really liked the gunplay here. After hours of flintlock pistols in Connor's memories, a semiautomatic Mk23 was a refresher, and combined with his knifeplay.
Wassa matta you Altair moment: 9:00
God this game was so good why did they venture off from the way the game was in the beginning for the first 3
These sections in AC3 always made me think of how cool a modern day Assassin's Creed game would be.
I guess the Watch Dogs series gets somewhat close and there are a few references, but it's still very distinct from ever getting close to a full on Assassin's' game both plot and gameplay wise. Would still like to see this properly happen one day.
I still wish we had more Desmond missions like this
