Great video. Also arachnophobia warning starting at 23:10. Large drawn spider on shirt, pops up frequently. Yes, I watched it to the end (No, I don't have arachnophobia... probably). I play AC games mostly for the story. Because of this there are two things I can say: 1 I really liked Origins and Odyssey and 2 I can not play them again unless I develop amnesia.

"When does it get good" Three games ago mate, three games ago. In fact you started where most fans began to left.

ass creed 1 2 3 are better, no rpg overdoseing, but no navalstuff

play the first games

the book was not just based on Wikipedia article the author of the book was the guy who wrote the Wikipedia article and used his book as a reference in his Wikipedia article

Just play 1-Rogue

I get it... historical figures mixed with the game. they just want to amaze their audience by recreating them. it been like that since the first game. that's why at the every beginning of each game they say its historical by design but the story is fiction.

Here's my take AC Odyssey and Valhalla are TERRIBLE AC games but good Viking and Spartan romps as for every other game in the series they excel at certain things and flounder a bit in others and in my honest opinion both AC2 and Unity are ridden to high hell and i love both of those games Unity being my favorite AC game but dude

oh no, he bought the one with the majority of the bad games...

Ac4 is my favourite game because I loved the naval part of it and the gameplay in general. Also, Edward as a character is amazing imo.

Huge L of a video fam

I honestly love Ac origins. But I do agree with your take.

23:18 boy i bet you hate Odyssey

The Naval combat ruined the whole series of Assassin's Creed for me. I despise it, I wish I could skip all the battles. Which is why I mostly play II, every game after Revelations sucks. II never gets old, it's consistently more fun than every other game

I'm just the kind of guy that can sink hundreds of hours into a gorgeous open world so it's not a surprise that AC Odyssey is one of my all time favorite games.

Play ac 2

Persona Fan

Tbf the rpg trilogy’s worst aspect was the levelling system,

You can get the ezio collection pretty cheap sometimes I got it at $20 or below (I can’t remember but it wasn’t full price that’s for sure) it’s AC 2, brotherhood and revelations and you can get AC3 and the technical DLC liberations, if you get odyssey’s season pass so basically a whole game of content and a full game with even freer DLC. The only game not on PS5 but on Xbox and PC is AC1 but that’s most of the game series. The timeline is real fucked up it should be if I get my times right AC Valhalla, Odyssey, Origins, Mirage, 1, 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 3, libations, 4, Rouge, Syndicate, Unity and I think the chronicles series up until shadows but yeah it’s a weird mix match of time BS. Also for a “legacy collection” it comes with pretty good games, not the entire franchise but enough to get you somewhat invested.

Bro, you should’ve bought the first game and the Ezio collection would’ve been a much better and easier purchase.

napoleon is rly important in the dead king dlc from unity

I know its late but some advice for assassin's creed odyssey. Level up your one hit kill assassination branch levels thats what I did completed the kephallonia island and basically played the whole game like og ac games with 1 hit assassination kills. If only the parkour system of ac unity was there. And less rpg thing could of had more amazing cinematic scenes for for each area of the map like in Sparta and Athens etc but no they went full rpg. Still its a good rpg game just not that good of a assassin creed game. Darius should of been there base game. Well at least they connected kassandra with the overall ac universe atleast. And then killed her modern day. She should of lived out her remaining years. Oh well.

Very good video but just one recommendation. Please don't record videos wearing a spider shirt. Everytime you were on screen I had to look away because the giant spider was a bit too much for me and my Arachnophobia isn't even that bad.

Assassins creed 2, Brotherhood and revelation still have the best stories in my opinion because you go through Ezios entire life in 3 games. From cheeky young adult trying to avenge his family to the master of the assassins in Italy/Europe to an old man trying to discover some of the orders mysteries. Sure the games still have faults but I think they were the peak. The modern part of the story was always garbage and took you out of the actual good gameplay. Brotherhoods assassins follower mechanic is something I wish they kept and expanded on in later games.

"When does this get good?" He askes while skipping the best part of the franchise and only playing the post ac3 slop.

The one thing that made me quit AC Odyssey was when I lost my tamed Nemian lion. In Odyssey, you can beat animals, and then tame them instead of killing them. I managed to do that with the Nemian lion, one of the legendary animals. But the problem is, pets cannot sneak around, and your pets get untamed everytime you die. It happened to me when I was trying to clear a fort, I died and my Nemian lion got untamed, and died because it was in the middle of a fort with a bunch of enemies. Worse is, unlike other regular animals, I can't just go and tame another one. The Nemian lion is one of the legendary animals. There's only one, it's essentially a boss monster, and once it dies, it stays dead. Caused me to rage quite and I've never picked up the damn game again. And of course, there's another problem, which you've already faced. You can't sneak up and assassinate high level enemies. You can do that in earlier AC games but not in Odyssey. For me, the most fun AC games were Black Flag and Rouge. It's just feels like they give me just the right amount of freedom, but not too much. Which is also why the upcoming Black Flag remake I've heard about worry me so much. Knowing Ubisoft, they're gonna ruin it with all the unnecessary bullshit microtrasactions. Talking about Black Flag again, that's another problem with Odyssey too. In Black Flag and Rogue, naval combat feels awesome. Fighting against multiple ships and then boarding them or sinking them if I choose to is awesome. And just sailing around in the open seas of Black Flag and Rogue in itself just feels nice. Meanwhile in Odyssey, it just feels tedious. Even now, after finishing the entire game, I would just occasionally boot up Black Flag or Rogue and go wild in naval combat, because it's just that fun. I'd never do that with Odyssey, not in a trillion years. Black Flag and Rogue makes you want to sail from place to place. But in Odyssey, once I've unlock fast travel to certain areas, I'd never sail to those areas again. The most fun I've had in Odyssey is with climbing giant penises of those giant god statues. I share your feelings about Black Flag too. It took too long to unlock the naval combat and even longer to unlock the blowpipe, which are the core parts of the gameplay. It took me so long that by the time I unlocked the blowpipe, I'm already used to not having it and just resort to the old means of killing people directly. Meanwhile in Rogue, you unlock them all on the literal first mission(of course in Rogue, it's not a blowpipe but an Air rifle, but they essentially does the exact same thing). Only the grenade launchers take longer to unlock, which I understand, cos they are overpowered af. Just wish Rogue's story was more flashed out and not rushed. Also, imo, Micro-transactions have no place in a full priced game. I understand paid DLC, like Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree, or Black Flag's Freedom Cry, because they add so much more to the game. But there's no place for paid skins and "booster packs" in full priced games like Origins and Odyssey.

You played them out of order? How did the story make any sense at all? EDIT 23:10 You played through Persona 3 Royal 6 times? Nevermind, you make sense now and there is no saving you... EDIT 2: I made it to the end and I deeply disagree with you BUT you made a great video and I hope you enjoy your weeb games lol seriously though, great vid!

Also the more recent game AC Mirage took a really good turn from origins/odyssey and even vallhala (also vallhala bein pretty OK) im maybe half way thro mirage and really makes me play more where odyssey origins and vallhala i couldnt even finish them. PS: no one asked but i especially think AC3 is the best i dont wanna offend any1 but i just simply love it also the AC brotherhood, AC revelations, AC2 are REALLY good games where AC1 is also OK only because its ancient xD

I think only the first 4 games were the "proper" Assassin's Creed games and best represent what the series should be about, although the gameplay is nothing special nowadays. You had to be there when they were new and when there was nothing else quite like them. Its formula has been copied so much, or even done better since then that yeah, it's just nothing special nowadays.

Thats crazy i finished all AC games up to rogue and couldnt finish unity 5 years after its release date because of the bugs

37:49 tbh ign already are jokes now with How Bad They rate

rogue is better than black flag??? wtf broo

Dude didn't even play the Ezio Trilogy and wants to talk about how much Assassin's Creed sucks. That's like only playing Code Veronica and hating all of Resident Evil. Syndicate sucks.

Rainbow six siege is still one of the most unique shooters out there but unique shooters will never be popular compared to the slop of repetitive familiar run and gun Cod games or any Counter strike clones. I mean seriously, whoever plays valorant cant ever claim any game is a copycat of whatever

Do not play Odyessey. It breaks lore, and has shitty gameplay. Play anything else.

🤔 I guess, it gets good when you uninstall 🤔 some of them 😅😂

Black flag’s story is peak what r u talking about lmao

I just wanna say that it is refreshing to see people who don't generally like Assassin's Creed play many of the games and give their opinions. I think you are spot on about the first three games. Syndicate is a lot of fun, but there is much to be desired. Rogue, I personally didn't like the execution but the concept was cool. Unity is awesome, and I actually liked the relationship between Arno and Elise as well, but the story is very mid. I think you missed out, though. The first five games are peak Assassin's Creed when it comes to the story, particularly Ezio. The first game isn't on the PS4/PS5 to my knowledge, but I play it on Xbox Series X. I also believe every AC game up until Black Flag is some of the most fun a person can have in third-person open world games. Unlike many others, though, Origins and Odyssey were genuinely fun games to me. The only thing they could have done better is have good parkour. Origins is my favorite game in the series, and I never thought parkour was a must-have for me to enjoy the games. Yeah, it's nice, but I play the games for the settings, protagonists, and mostly combat and stealth. Overall, you have great points discussing these games, and I'm not gonna bash your opinion. I personally agree with you that Edward, being a pirate and not an assassin or templar, made Black Flag a better game for the general audience and because it made him different from previous protagonists. I use that same logic when discussing Alexios/Kassandra. My rankings for the games covered in this video, though, are...... 1. Assassin's Creed Origins 2. Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag 3. Assassin's Creed Odyssey 4. Assassin's Creed Syndicate 5. Assassin's Creed Unity 6. Assassin's Creed Rogue I also think that if you give Mirage a chance, you might enjoy it a good bit. It's not a long game, but it's short, like Rogue and Basim is one of the more interesting protagonists. Not an amazing game but overall a good game. After seeing this video though, I don't think you could make it through Valhalla. I played all of it and while I rate it a solid 7/10, there is no way anyone can play that game unless they love long games. Eivor (male version) js a great character though.

How the hell do you enjoy video games.. assassins creed is probably Ubisofts most successful franchise the games do have their problems but we dont include syndicate because of how bad that game actually is. You do need to try the ezio trilogy, assassins creed 3 and unity. The more popular in the franchise.

I suggest ac black flag.

U got bored pf origins at 23 hours. Wait till u play valhallam I am at 124 hrs play time now in 25 days😂. Also by the way, I have a full DLC dawn of ragnarok left to play. This game has shit ton of side content that is fucking uninteresting

im sorry but why does your face look so... disturbing...

I recommend starting from the anthology era of games that are AC1,2,brotherhood,revelations and 3

10:30 well rogue was develloped along side unity and the main focus was on unity so it was rushed

Bro hella styled on the stalkers in Rogue. Respect man

Disclaimer: I just bought the Ezio collection from the Playstation store for $12! A lot of you down here in the comments say that the Ezio collection games, particularly Assassin's Creed 2, is the best one, and honestly, after playing the legendary collection, the impression I got was the older the Assassin's Creed game, the better. So we'll see! Also, I really appreciate all the comments and feedback. It just shows that there are tons of people that have different experiences with these games, and that really says something. Edit: I am most likely going to make a follow-up video for this, responding to the comments and talking about Assassin's Creed 2. I'm about halfway through 2 already and I am really liking it so far. But this will be after another big video that I'm currently working on. Edit 2: 10k views?? This is insane!! Thank you!

Syndicate was one of the two I had the most fun with traversal"... That is indeed a video with wild takes. But considering that most of the other in the pack are the "RPG-era" AC, that's understandable.

Finish Black Flag and Origins. Your thoughts on the stories will definitely change.

I would really play the earlier games. Maybe AC1 will be a bit of a jarring experience because it's so ancient at this point, but the story and atmosphere hold up from AC1 up to Revelations. And with each subsequent game you can really see how they build up and add new features in each one. AC3/AC4 really was the turning point of the series and every release after that didn't ignite the same fire in me as the original 5 games (AC1, AC2, AC:Brotherhood, AC:Revelations, AC3)

U didn't play the best ones, which are the ezio collection games those are the peak of ac
