Assassin's Creed II: Florence at Night [Ambience / Music]

[@bpizarrov99]

one of the best history periods in a game ever

[@cv8425]

I still look back at it like who wanted the Italian renaissance era but it was the best thing they could’ve done

[@jeanculasec1466]

who could've known Renaissance Italy could be such a banger? That era was so rarely represented in games, it was really Ubisoft peak time.

[@dennis.mantineo]

​@@jeanculasec1466 wait until you learn about the whole history in Italy. Italy and Greece history could let Ubisoft make more than 30 new Assassin's Creeds.

[@defaltbot5792]

One of the best periods in my life bruh . That rainy weather .. came after school .. left everything played the game went to rooftops.. smelling the fragrance of rain and mud comin from outside while i listen to this song .. life was so good back then .. it was so good and easy.

[@tdoran616]

AC2, AC Brotherhood RDR1, RDR2, Mafia 2, Kingdom Come Deliverance and Ghost of Tsushima, Battlefield 1 are all at the top for best historical games even if they’re not entirely accurate.

Ezio’s family always makes me feel warm inside, gives me a feeling of familiarity, even the first time I ever heard it, 10+ years on I still get the same feeling every time!

[@PS_Fanatic]

People who played this game when it came out must've been lucky cause the cozy vibe you get playing this game or any old Assassin Creed game was just tooo good in terms of music, areas in the game, story, amazing characters, etc. I played the Ezio Collection for the first time in 2019 and was just left in emotions/feelings that I couldn't describe to anyone after completing all 3 games, like getting a cozy vibe in my room and just thinking of people who played this back in 2009 when it came out and what a feeling it must've been for them. Man, I love assassins creed and am hopeful that Mirage could get some of that old nostalgic feeling in 2023. This has made my day❤.

[@giospade2954]

The best game ever! I don’t even know how to explain myself. I will always cherish this game with all my heart.

[@IdentifiantE.S]

The old AC was just so cool ! 😄

[@miguelmatias2549]

Same think for me. This game is the best one for me. Amazing Era, amazing character, amazing story, amazing places, amazing music... everything was amazing with this game. Is the one that i would pay a lot of money for a remake (not remastered, even though I bought Ezio's trilogy remastered as soon as it came out 😅)

[@lotharrheindars5867]

[@leakandsqueak]

the flashback cristina missions in brotherhood were great. ezio's updated AC2 assassin robes are bomb. one day I hope to see a full remake of AC2.

[@Pharysz]

Yeah right? His robes look amazing. Would love to see an improved pacour system with nice graphics :)

[@GRR1MN1R]

I really loved his father's robes , they fit perfectly into the timeline and crowd his Brotherhood outfit was cool but it alway felt like the odd one out in a group the only game besides AC 2 that had those robes as a wearable item was just Valhalla

We're talking about UBISOFT here, not Hangar 13 and not Rockstar Games.

[@ThorntonNoir]

The type of music that disarms you instantly.

[@aryandogra2019]

This is just pure nostalgia I remember i was just 8 or 9 when i played this game now I’m 21 and it’s a feeling you can’t express whenever you play the game or just hear it’s authentic pure music i don’t know why but today’s games can’t match something of this level still specially in terms of music

[@Pharysz]

Yeah definitely. But I think it also plays a huge role that we played it in our childhood/teens. Those games formed us :)

[@FroZen6613]

Yeah.. it's sad how quick our childhood ends and we grow up, unable to experience games at that level of pure careless joy anymore@@Pharysz

[@Romeo-vt8hq]

Oh boy, I remember me being at school buying physical copy of the game and then playing it thousands of times on my PC. The music, atmosphere and the storyline were absolutely insane. I need to download the Ezio Collection for my PS5 to bring back those memories

[@Pharysz]

That's what I did and it was a blast. Would recommend it every time :)

[@chrisjamro1369]

At that moment I was 29 years old. I played games from my 8th until my 18th or s. it was all platformers, JRPG's,... But then started going out and doing other stuff than gaming. Around 2006 I picked it up again and went straight to my old genres: JRPG's and platformers. The whole 3D gaming thing with a usable camera was new to me but I started there around 2007/2008 and then one year later this gem came out... Still one of my favorite gaming memories ever.

[@Pharysz]

Happy you gave it a try back then! Luckily you found yourself a gem :)

Best days of my life playing this game in 2009. Felt so real. I really wanted to visit Italy ever since.

Good times... :')

[@ElPicoleto90]

This was the last game were my big brother (26y) and me (19) would share for last time, the familiar scenario again... me as a co-pilot and letting him play the whole game before Christmas ends and he returns back to London... Next Christmas he came back to Spain and also played Brotherhood. After that , our own lives has continued and we barely speak , because of fights and tense situations... I hate him now but even when i see AC2 i automatically transport to that time where we looked happy, like a family, even though we were 3, since father was missing, but i dunno.... the part when Ezio and his bigbrother hike the intro tower still brings me a tear. If i only knew it was the last time I wouldnt had screwed so much..

[@Pharysz]

I'm sorry to hear that... Maybe you two could get back together in the future and reconcile I'll upload a new video today about Ezio and his brother later today. I don't know if it would bring you more pain or happiness, but maybe it's something for you :)

Ahh... back to the time when Ubisoft still valued creating an immersive, dense game with a mysterious atmosphere.

hard to name a bigger upgrade in a series than AC to AC2... and my favorite AC is ACB, I remember going to a mall where they had AC2 in the playsataion3 for you to play and just spending hours marveled at how incredible that game looked/felt at the time.

This game alone and the story around it of Florence made History one of my favourite subjects. We had renaissance in the tuscany and the parallels and names always caught me offguard.

[@Pharysz]

Unfortunately we never covered the renaissance in detail in school. But AC sure got me invested in this time period :)

[@ethanwinters9619]

As soon as I started this vid, I was almost in tears. I was never born in Florence but back in 2013, this place became my home in Assassin's Creed and now I'm 25 and it still remind me of my very first days of Assassin's Creed. Ac2 was my very first and then Brotherhood, Revelation, Ac1, Ac3, Ac4, Ac Rogue, Ac Unity, Ac Syndicate, Origins. I was never finished with Odyssey nor Vahalla but the most recent one that I've finished was Mirage. There's something about old Ac games that attract me more than the others and to me Ac2 is still my best one on the list.

[@spyder5876]

It's actually astonishing how hard Assassin's Creed has fallen compared to it's peak here.

i was 12-14 years old playing assassins creed 2, i didn't have much english back then so i was just following most of the story of the game only based on the visual experience of it, but even just that was enough for me to get hooked insanely to the game. what a legendary game and what a legendary atmosphere with great music.
