[@Mr_Nobodi]

Just started the video but I already can't wait for the next assassin creed retrospective

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Thank you so much! It likely won't be for another few months as I'm in the middle of some other projects (well, wrapping up projects so I don't have a bunch of stuff unfinished) but I've already started my research for Brotherhood. I want to wrap up my other series that are close to done first before I go full tilt on AC, but once I do they'll be coming out with more consistency

[@RealSoyZombie]

Leaving a comment for engagement. This channel is criminally underexposed.

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Doing the work of the gods my friend, thanks a bunch!!

[@Sammy-jt7wp]

The way you analyse and talk about games is so refreshing. Straight to the point and I think you’ve got keen eye for what works and what doesn’t in gameplay. Plus I love your humor. 😆 Can’t wait for more AC videos, gonna watch your other videos in the meantime.

[@riptruo]

This is a greeeeat video and trust me, sooner or later, the algorithm will find this video and the views will skyrocket!

[@kyotodreams3306]

The only thing I dislike about this game is the fucking “it’s a me, Mario!” That was a total buzzkill for me 😂

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Hahaha going back and replaying it felt similar, I remember when I first played it though I was so keyed into what was happening on screen the levity was appreciated haha

[@AffemitWaffe456]

Here for the algorhythm :) let's bring this thing up 🎉

[@Analog_Nightmare]

To the moon!!

[@exjay9366]

Great video! Subscribed ✌🏾

[@nadesun7075]

Great video man keep em coming

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Thank you!! I hope to get another AC video in after I cover Splinter Cell :)

[@Hynotama]

The feathers do more than just an achievement. You get a weapon from Mario at 50 feathers and the Auditore cape at 100 feathers. The weapon also counts towards the villa completion, as do the feathers.

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Haha thanks for letting me know, I'm playing through Brotherhood again for the next game and I've set myself the rule that I need to 100% everything for this reason.

[@Hynotama]

@@Analog_Nightmare there’s just 10 feathers in brotherhood and you can buy a map of their location.

[@themp267]

Just found your channel the other day, you are doing awesome work, keep it up!

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Thank you!! Loads of new stuff coming soon :)

[@Qwertyuiopaz]

I'm surprised you didn't complain about that tower jump during Desmond's vision.

[@tommygun6866]

OH MAN! Another video! Gotta watch this on the weekend!

[@Analog_Nightmare]

AYYY was waiting to see you show up!! Let me know what you think of this new style!

[@tommygun6866]

I haven't forgotten about it, I just couldn't watch it due to time constraints. I made some free time on Thursday and WILL watch it then.

[@tommygun6866]

@@Analog_Nightmare Finally got around to watching it and I watched it in one sitting, so that's an indication of how good this video is. I enjoyed it very much. This style of analysis where you go through the game kind of like a walkthrough, is something I really like. If there is anything I want, besides more videos, it would be to focus even more on the side content of those games. Like you did in this video, but also explaining (and showing) the outcome and the rewards for completing it, since further ACs put more and more focus on them.

[@swordandsheild1]

Loving your video so far, definitely needs more traction imo. But I just wanted to pop in about the Giovanni mentioning the Eagle Vision thing; I'm pretty sure he says "Use your talents", as in saying he believes Ezio to have the same innate level of general skill other assassin's in their bloodline have had, so rather than "Ezio do the thing" I feel like its more "Ezio, find it because I know you have the skills". I just never thought of it as an explicit reference to the exact action of using eagle vision lol

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Haha yeah I can totally see that. I have this fascination with gameplay mechanics and how they are or aren't referenced by the characters. More of an observation than a complaint. Now if Giovanni had been like "Ezio use the Y button to find the secret room"... THEN we'd have some beef haha

[@swordandsheild1]

@@Analog_Nightmare yeah for real 😂 it's funny I just had a convo with a friend about that the other day and how I almost enjoy it when it's done in older games but some older games, like AC2, I'm really glad avoid that cause yeah it would definitely kill the amazing immersion it has going for it. It's crazy to me how easily it takes me to it's setting and story and I'm just stuck in haha

[@devonpudil4912]

I see this video has 291 views and it blows my mind, 6 months or even a year from now I could easily see this have hundreds of thousands of views. This channel randomly got recommended to me looking at sniper elite content and from the jump you've made high quality videos man! I hope you don't get discouraged and keep grinding because your content in fucking awesome!

[@Analog_Nightmare]

292 thanks to you! Just gonna keep grinding away, have a bunch of good stuff coming up so definitely stay tuned 😁

[@TheMattG2]

Listening with headphones is like listening to ASMR. I hope you do more games in the series - I loved AC3 (and nobody else did)

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Counting down the days until 3. If I'm feeling spicy I'll play both the original and the remake 💦💦

[@seancreppel6833]

Love your videos

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Thank you so much!

[@seancreppel6833]

@@Analog_Nightmare I wasn't expecting you to respond I used your guide to decide if I should buy sniper elite 4 again (haven't played in like 4-5 years

[@sebastianmitchell4776]

Not sure if you'll see this but at around 10:30 you say you weren't sure if AC1 told you explicitly if Lucy was on the side of the Assassins, but there is a scene where she reveals to desmond she is missing her ring finger, which gets removed when you become an assassin. I'm sure there's more I cant remember rn lol

[@Analog_Nightmare]

I didn't know that! Maybe it's an event I missed, I thought I'd done everything

[@sebastianmitchell4776]

@@Analog_Nightmare haha after checking from the game and NOT memory, she just bends it back to show the general idea. But still! Pretty cool writing imo

[@user-pm5lg3yu1t]

Nice video

[@ORkYYGreENS]

Another banger. Great jokes and breakdown of the game and its history. L.A Noire PLEASE!!

[@Analog_Nightmare]

You got it, Valdez

[@stefkoni55]

For some reason I am shadowbanned from posting replys on yt(I noticed that when posting replys on your sniper elite 5 video) . I want to say that you should make sniper elite tier list as it could potentially get you more exposure on the platform, and it shouldnt really be hard to make, and you already have retrospective on every entry. Also notification for this video is 3 days late :((

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Yeah you're not the first person to mention the notification on this video has been weird or just not showing up, annoying. I'm going to put all the SE videos together after I put out the SE5 DLC review into one big "director's cut" where I'll include any bits I cut out, a few small bonus bits that were too small to be their own videos, etc. so that it's worth it for old viewers to watch the new video :)

[@Leenroc]

Ever thought about doing the metro series? I would love to hear how you experienced those games. Oh and great vid btw as always.

[@Analog_Nightmare]

Played them to absolute death trying to get all the achievements a few years back, great suggestion!
