5 Things Assassin's Creed 2 Did Wrong

The main base in assassin's Creed 1 was masyaf btw

I disagree on Ezio not growing all that much in 2. If we’re ignoring Brotherhood and Revelations then Ezio’s decision not to kill Rodrigo shows his growth. He’s moved beyond his bloodlust. This was before we knew we’d get a sequel, so it looked like Ezio was leaving the Assassin life behind. And it still would have been a satisfying story. I also point to the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC with his speech, which also paints his growth pretty well.

[@terryprice1691]

Plus how could they criticize Ezio’s growth but Nate doesn’t have a problem with Jacob Frye? That guy has been a douche bag throughout the entirety of Syndicate 💀 he didn’t really change until the Jack the Ripper DLC.

[@spelareNR14]

@@terryprice1691 i know what you mean. But it could be because Syndicate takes place during a single year. Ik AC1 does that too, but I will give it a pass since this was obviously the first game.

[@parsaamini984]

The puzzles at the end of the game, intro, codex pages and the race game where you had to get the flags during the main mission

[@kylebutler9281]

I liked the codex pages but the rest of this I agree with.

[@jaydenlopez8165]

I’ve always wanted more present day content. I want to see what being an assassin in the modern day is like. Watch Dogs is somewhat modern day AC but not really

[@gulabjamundevourer]

Ezio had a lot of character development in this game! He started off seeking vengeance but then he slowly became a true assasin and the allies he had made helped and influenced him

[@luigismash9954]

I also agree, in the DLC sequences (which are canon) he gives his bonfire speech where he discusses how he isn't driven by vengeance anymore.

[@bobidybilly]

I was so confused when I booted up AC1 for the first time. I was expecting a medieval story just. When you’re pulled out the animus first and everything was modern i was even more hooked! (I never had issues with Desmond either 😬)

[@TheeJasonReyes]

AC elitists:HERESY!!! YOURE NOT A REAL ASSASSINS CREED FAN IF YOU TALK NEGATIVE IN ANY WAY ABOUT ANY EZIO GAME!!!

[@kylebutler9281]

Nobody likes AC elitists anyways they should try more games out.

[@Prowelplaygames]

Strongly disagree with your critical view on introducion. Its very important point of Ezio story, because this is life he lost with death of his father and brothers

[@DegenerateJay]

Introductions story points are important but the point was just that it's a slow intro in terms of gameplay and what you're actually doing.

[@thedepressedgirl6208]

Loved the video Jay, Nice work keep it up

[@EmperorEredin]

This is my favourite game of all time so my opinion maybe a bit biased but I personally don't agree with the fact that the game starts too slow. The modern day intro with Desmond is a bit too long but as soon as you play with Ezio I think personally that every mission you did even if it was useless like the Leonardo mission it ultimatly helped build Ezio's character and our relationship with him because we got to see a bit of his life when he was young and his relationship with his family before his world got torn apart. I also didn't agree with the fact that Ezio doesn't really change in AC 2 because he does start out as a young guy that isn't really serious and likes to joke but at the end of the game he has a conversation with Leonardo when he understands the true meaning of the codex and he says how he now feels about the death of his father and brothers and in the dlc when he talks to the crowd when they want to burn that monk, you can see that he really did change and even in brotherhood when he becomes a mentor and Machiavelli says he intends to write a book about him he still jokes so I don't think him not being serious all the time doesn't mean that he didn't change in AC 2. Now if there's one thing I can say I think AC 2 did wrong that you guys didn't mention is the dlc because sequence 12 and 13 just take you out of the flow of the game and they are a struggle to go through because they are a bit repetetive and I think the only good thing in that dlc is the speech he gives and the reason that Ezio is nearly 40 in Brotherhood and so much time goes by in this game it's because like more than a decade goes by during that dlc while Ezio searches for the monk without it being properly showed that all this time went by.

I disagree about the character growth stuff

[@willhoward2569]

18:40 Honestly I'll never understand the Connor hate he was a really cool character especially when you do the homestead missions and he gets more fleshed out

[@jde7052]

I think there was story about how the first guy that was the creator of the idea of Assassin’s Creed actually came up with the idea in high school, which makes a lot of sense because it’s based on the psychologist idea of Karl Jung where the animus actually came from his term of means like masculine parts of a woman’s psyche, but the ancestors memory actually connects kinda with Karl’s theory of collective unconscious with connecting to past relatives since the meaning of that term is inherited human experiences. So it would’ve been great if he could’ve continued the series because they’re really leaning away from like the collective unconscious without having it be the modern days protagonist, which I don’t mind to have now and then for interesting story aspects because then you could follow a character to their death with a sample from their corpse and they don’t need descendants, but I think that their still should be some games that feature the original intention of the animus to return to those cool theories past psychologists came up with and concepts that we’re kinda losing by like the current standard of like finding Eivor and Bayek’s, and Aya’s corpse it’s not longer leaning into the theories it’s based on.

[@Nathaniel_B400]

Ac is a shadow of what it used to be imo, and this is coming from a huge fan of the series

[@bleh8942]

The home base in assassins creed 1 is called Masyaf

[@AnAverageFan]

1 is horrendous. He starts off as a egotistical kid fucking around, sees his family get killed, then starts an assassin life to become an adult. He's still a player but he has found balance and understanding. He goes from a stupid bloodthirsty kid just looking for revenge on his family, to sparing the life of his sworn enemy Rodrigo Borgia bc he realized it would not bring his family back. The main story arch in this game is character development at it's core. Terrible take and to have it at 1 is a disgrace to the assassin order

[@visionary1138]

His development is like flipping a switch in the final sequence where he randomly just decides not to kill Rodrigo. It's not like that decision was built up to in the slightest. It just happened at the very end. Character development isn't you're almost the exact same until one final decision. That's not how writing works.

[@kylebutler9281]

I'm dying at disgrace to the assassin order as a serious comment like somehow the fictional assassin's order gives a crap.

[@DegenerateJay]

I mean I still think he developed some I just think the majority of it happens in his other 2 games. The development I did like was him going from mocking and taunting his first target to showing respect for each member of the conspiracy he killed when they died.

[@AnAverageFan]

@@DegenerateJay you distanced yourself from the take before it was said by the other guy (alex?) so i aint even coming after u like that this was moreso directed at him but since its your channel you get to deal with the response/comments to it

[@tjderrff9280]

“Maybe Kevin spacey maybe not” made me laugh way harder than it probably should’ve

[@AnAverageFan]

Not a fan of 3 as a "wrong" for the game or franchise. The slower intro was necessary to set up the ezio saga. They also had to push desmond into the assassin group AND set up ezio's revenge arch. If the AC2 story is based on the revenge motif, having the backstory to ezio, his family, and the time period is a requirement. While i get that it's a slow burn, there is definitely a purpose behind why they did it that way. Maybe they couldve shaved off some fat with it, but i actually enjoy the slow roll in 2

[@terryprice1691]

Do you plan on reviewing the newer games like Syndicate, Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla?

[@Rabid_Tardigrade]

I always wanted a real modern day AC game. With the parkour and combat of unity. That was the dream. Instead we get watch dogs and Valhalla. Turned into a nightmare.

[@Rabid_Tardigrade]

And to be fair the wouldn’t do it right anyway so there’d be no point to get hyped for it. It’s possible sure and maybe I’m just being a pessimist but they haven’t impressed me since unity. That laid the ground work for an amazing succession of games. But they botched it with syndicate and just scrapped it all together for a dumbed down rpg knockoff franchise.

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

[@arshishbalaporia7088]

The one thing I believe it did wrong is no replayable missions... It's the only AC game that doesn't have replay memory option

[@awsome182]

I think that AC II is definitely not perfect, however the points you mentioned are some I cannot agree with. But each to their own I guess^^ However, the one thing I agree on is that I also like AC Revelations more than AC Brotherhood. Actually, AC Revelations is my favourite game of the entire franchise.

[@deepvoicedude4749]

I agree with point 2. I think 30%-40% of Assassins Creed gameplay should be in modern day.

[@matthewcooper4248]

The biggest problem with ac2 is the detection system. The combat is basic and boring, the parkour is laughable even for back then, but the detection system is absolute crap. People will detect you from across the map, and when you assassinate people a lot of the time they'll detect you in the frame right as you hit them. It's especially great when you CAN'T BE DETECTED IN THE MISSION.

[@GareBearIsAdorable]

Ezio was a "likeable" character. His default personality setting wasn't set to dour like Connor was. Arno and Bayek weren't depressing characters even though they went through emotional rollercoasters too.

[@hughjass7777]

I don't see how that makes Connor unlikeable that he was unhappy. That's like saying Batman is just unlikeable because he clearly has depression issues. Not every character needs to be lighthearted
