Assassin's Creed in 5 Minutes (2014 Update)

Before you play Assassin's Creed: Unity, catch up on the overall story of the entire franchise. Trust us...it's a little bit bananas...

[@soldier5645]

Shit i learned more about what was going on in Assassin's Creed from this video than playing through the games

[@joshmartinez161]

+soldier5645 lmao me too

[@kiki-bb4fm]

SAME lmao

[@DarthEatsDonuts]

+soldier5645 same as well

[@Gioyoji]

you need to have the brains to understand

[@Gioyoji]

if you know what i mean

[@Siilent]

Assassins Creed In 2 Seconds: If you started anytime after AC2 GoodLuck catching up everything in the story

[@percivalconcord9209]

i started from AC4 hated it and went back to pirete all the AC games except for unity which i only played for like an hour at some1s house

[@HugoHarris]

***** I've only played Revelations and Rogue, but from wiki, walkthroughs and now this, I'm pretty much up to date.

[@HugoHarris]

***** That's not what I meant. I watched the walkthroughs of games I haven't played so I can catch up with the storyline.

[@timrosen4893]

***** lol, the most random order ever :P

[@warnpassion]

+SiilentSounds I started with Assassin's Creed, Black Flag. :\

[@Tyrogenic]

Can you update this to include Unity and perhaps Rogue? Maybe even Syndicate when it's released, I'll wait here.

[@kevenrod16]

yes, exactly what I wanted to say

[@warnpassion]

+Tyrogenic How can you wait here when the new video will be associated with a completely different KZbin URL?

[@JoseRuiz-yh2eh]

+warnpassion maybe they'll add an anotation?

[@warnpassion]

Jose Ruiz He/she should rather subscribe to the channel and wait for the video or search for it on the uploader's channel.

[@JoseRuiz-yh2eh]

I understand why not subscribing tho. You subscribe for this one specific topic or game or game series you are interested in, and you end up having a subscription feed flooded with content you don't care about about. And, you know, since part of being an advance society means having everything the easy way, searching for it is just too much work.

[@tylerwolff5104]

I've played every game since AC2 multiple times and never knew wtf was really going on, so this video was actually really interesting to me.

[@SphireUK]

If you like the series so much, you should really play the original :P

[@tylerwolff5104]

SphireUK I heard it was incredibly repetitive and boring so I just passed it up. Haven't felt the need to play it.

[@jesussoriano8182]

Tyler Wolff it is

[@SphireUK]

Play it for the story

[@johncortezz8291]

SphireUK exactly, i play it for the story 70%! this game is superb.

[@SgtxAnus]

Wow this series got really really weird...

[@Ik-ej3ri]

ChuWanggAmes Yep it has. For me it used to be cool until this other civilization and the (almost) end of the world came in.

+IK it what was 2012 the year people said the end of the world would happen i think ubisoft wanted to capitalize on that idea

[@Ik-ej3ri]

+MaGesticLean Yeah that's possible still didn't do for me

[@dieauferstehung]

+ChuWangStudioz it was that weird at the beginning fool

[@civilwarfare101]

I usually ignore the crappy modern day storyline in AC. I'll do the same with ACU. The modern story should've never have been in these games. It just bogs down the games every time they show a second if it.

[@rockymarciano9279]

Thats because you are not a fan and only plays CoD the haben a lot of depth and that's good.

[@rockymarciano9279]

*they have

[@civilwarfare101]

Der Gecraftete​ You clearly didn't read the, "I'll do the same with ACU". I haven't played CoD since Black Ops 1. "Depth", my ass.

[@civilwarfare101]

Miguel Rodriguez Assassin's Creed should be only about history and the Templar vs Assassin conflict. Not this unnescary sci fi nonsense.

[@civilwarfare101]

***** The games would be much more interesting without all that crap.

[@haiUnderground]

Assassins Creed 2 was the most memorable for me and my favortie storyline was Assassins Creed Revelations

[@lorddshqipe3016]

yes!

[@414unrelasedmusickyea7]

Wtf AC4 was just horrible -_- worst out of all by far! Every other one so far is good

[@ryanirvine2263]

Assassins creed 2 was the best in my opinion but hated assassins creed brotherhood 😒

[@414unrelasedmusickyea7]

1. Assassins creed 2 2. Assassins creed brotherhood 3. Assassins creed revelations 4. Assassins creed 1 5. Assassins creed 3 6. Assassins creed 4 Both assassins creed rouge and unity don't get spots yet FACT!

[@nathanhenry8015]

Storyline ac2 Gameplay ac 3 Best dlc ac 4 ( freedom cry ) Got to say didn't see the point do ac 4 . I was like sequence 10 before he become a assassin and he wasn't really one . He was still a fucking prate with a fcuked up life . LOVED the dlc for it tho

[@Sigfee]

The AC story went to shit after (*Spoiler*) they killed Desmond. All that buildup just for him to sacrifice himself. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the games or enjoy the stories inside the animus, it's just that the modern story is garbage.

[@_somebody_9996]

Agreed they should've keep Desmond alive or killed him and introduce a long lost sibling or something

[@dacyndaquil]

I agree kinda wished they had some kind of decision system thing like Mass Effect, primarily for the end only because I want to know how civilization rebuilds/etc. after the flares

[@TheRuffyruffles]

Imagine if Desmond hadn't sacrificed himself and the contemporaneous timeline would've taken a direction of post-apocaliptic events, IMO it sounds better than the direction they took

[@AHungryGamer]

Couldn't agree more with you.

[@SenukeMa]

Alpha Star I think he does have a long lost sibling. They made reference to desmond being the descendant of Adam, and how they need to find the descendant av Eve or something like that. Haven't played the older games in a long time.

[@rustedbiscuits874]

I feel like most people including me play this game to just kickass

[@1boompje]

Ikr:D

[@ItsJR516]

no.

[@jollysouwester56]

no.

[@CodDBZ534]

When it comes down to it the series continues to sell because of its gameplay but the story is good while being complex as it is. Yeah alot of ppl hate the present only cause they dont understand how fundamental it is to the franchise(it fucking connects EVERYTHING PPL!!!) but its good even with desmond's death which displeased me like so many others but was able to come to terms with it unlike most.

[@woodman2855]

I play it beucase i'm a history nerd and to feel annoyed when something isnt historicly correct

[@flvxhed]

Assassin's Creed is love, Assassin's creed is life

[@LeonardBillsMcGoatPryor]

Potatoes.

[@monkeyporche225]

Leonard Pryor Chimichangas

[@LeonardBillsMcGoatPryor]

Matt Porche Waffles.

[@monkeyporche225]

Leonard Pryor Chicken Tika

[@LeonardBillsMcGoatPryor]

Matt Porche Ducks.

[@EctoGamer]

this is the most confusing story in any video game

[@escapefromtibet2530]

Ectos not really. no

[@neilltopia6704]

try playing Bioshock, haha, that's confusing too

[@escapefromtibet2530]

Metal Gear is confusing imo

[@Reedster49]

RushingDolphin Metal gear is beyond confusing. It's absolutely bonkers.

[@brunotonche]

Death Stranding

[@blood117]

I am probably one of the few people who actually liked AC3.

[@SuperPogo17]

id say the best

[@acttragic]

Best in the series

[@acttragic]

I hate ACU's parkour

[@SuperPogo17]

***** there were aspects of it that were awesome, but it was also so annoying in others. for examply, trying to get into a window, or not being able to jump from a wall to another wall

[@acttragic]

***** I played for hours at my friends house and I just dont like it. The combat is wierd too but not as bad

[@TheScottbailey]

IGN make a 2016 update already. (@)

[@elannn]

VINT. BAILEY agree.

[@neilltopia6704]

Nope,wait for the AC Empire to come out, then do an update for 2016/2017

[@nixonyeoh6175]

neill topia when is empire coming??

[@rorsabest]

Why? Nothing overly significant has happened with the story to warrant an update..

[@Modorox]

But they really don't need to

[@iTheNem3sis]

Too much man too much. Just wrap the fucking plot up already.

[@civilwarfare101]

They won't. It would be the smart thing to do but they won't.

[@iTheNem3sis]

Because it makes them money. I stopped playing after Brotherhood.

[@civilwarfare101]

★_Vizualize_★​ As much as I hate the modern stuff, Unity does look like what the series should've been this whole time. If Ubi goes at this rate, the series will get the reboot.

[@OZEEtube]

SpiritMolecule1 Yeah whatever dude. You know what 2Pac said once? If something like that exists, why would you know it? Or your friend or whoever told you this shit? It isn't a secret organisation if even I, a normal turkish guy living in germany, knows about it. It's conspiracy nothing more, nothing less.

[@OZEEtube]

SpiritMolecule1 You don't know me. I'm not some guy believing everything the media says about let's say the eastern conflicts or gaza. I'm well informed and I know that some "forces "try to lead us into specific thoughts about specific topics. Manipulating people through propaganda n stuff is the oldest thing on earth so don't talk to me like I am a Kid who knows nothing. BUT I don't believe in a secret underground Organisation (which you know about tho...) that has plans to enslave the humanity. Who are you to know about a plan of enslaving the humanity? No offense tho I dont wanna destroy the bubble you live in. I know conspiracy is exiting and I myself find some of them entertaining and even believable. And btw. saying that there is 100% proof prooves nothing aslong as you don't list something...

[@thomascarroll9301]

man i desperately needed this, because it has been a while since IV and i still have yet to muster up the cash to play unity/rogue, let alone the new one that is about to be released. thanks for this. now i won't be left in the dark when i actually get back into action.

[@blackneno]

I haven't played AC since Black Flag and about to resume with Unity. This helped me to recap the story so far. Thanks!

[@jcole7336]

Assassin's creed will go down in history as one of those legendary games like MGS, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy... One of the best series ever. BUT when they first revealed that Juno or whatever character and it all got futuristic... It kinda killed my vibe, it was such a beautifully set up masterpiece but they had to introduce alien like beings into it -_- aaaaand they HAD to kill of Desmond -_- ngl that pissed me off, why develop his character so much and then kill him off? He could have been the best character in the franchise seeing as he gained all of the previous assassin's skills.... Ezio's still my favourite though 😏

[@UserDude]

I get what you're saying... but then again lbh Desmond was really annoying... so annoying, that it would have been nice turning on the game, watching him explode into welly blood goops and go on with the game... instead of all that long death shit.

[@DesmondASMiles]

I miss Desmond, killing him off was honestly one of the worst decisions the writers have ever made. Now you're just a floating Ipad.

[@SuperPogo17]

the fact that we are constantly going back in history has killed the vibe.

[@aelona_boxcar7488]

Joe S The Assassins Creed franchise was suppose to end at AC3 so the original story write killed him since he planned ac3 to be the last one, but Ubisoft could earn more money if the kept the series running so they fired him and hired someone else to write the next ones (black flag etc.)

[@jazzstofberg2220]

it's not alien at all, it's just a creation story.

[@ANDREVILAFRANCA]

Assassin's Creed was awesome untill the end of Ezio's story, after that the story went to shit..

[@MrKike163]

👍

[@yeah2224]

Unity looks very promising. Hopefully the story is good.

[@14loosecannon]

I like AC3 but I'll admit, it was a missed opportunity for sure.

[@AnnunakiiCruz]

Shut up

[@mr.squirbs7745]

Ezio was trash

[@oWhitmore]

I remember trying to piece the story together myself in the Desmond saga... finding all the glyphs and such. One of my favorite video game story lines.

[@isultansultangaliev5852]

I know the story got complicated and over the top and many people hate the modern time stuff, but you've got to admit all of this sounds pretty epic. I can not wait for 2030 when Ubisoft will run out of time periods to do and finally do something with the modern time, or at least closer to the modern time.

[@CouchCit]

It sounds epic alright...epicly horrible.

[@halochamppp]

Assassins are the good guys, the Templars are the bad guys... Assassins creed leads up to the point were... We don't know yet ;)

[@GermanFootballPlayer]

My brain stopped working after 1 minute of watching this. Too complicated but still an awesome story.

[@madridjohnny5129]

Funny that AC 1 was made in 2007 but the story begins in 2012 and know were all livng in 2016 Long live logic

[@Ztrigg]

OMG THIS'S WHAT I NEEDED TO GET RE EXCITED ABOUT THE GAME!!! I'm playing all of the from 1 and I just beat Brotherhood tonight and whilst I'm waiting for Revalations to load I decided to do some digging and was very pleased and feel spoiled I found this this summed it up so perfectly and I'm probably going to watch it until I can recite it per bat-um. Unfortunately I only have 1-3 but my bday and xmas aproacheth.

[@2Hot2Handle37]

Thank you so much for making this video, so many people have no idea about the AC story and is evident in a lot of comments I read on Assassin's Creed related videos. They just complain and give it shit when they have no idea what the series is really about.

[@Kombatant13]

I actually thought "hey there's an old war back then why not put assassins?" This video should warm me up for AC unity and rogue.

[@Byrnzi360]

The minute they started delving into these cosmic "ancestors" and their stories and motivations, the game series gets convoluted. Writers understand that you don't need to explain the motivations of your cosmic/God-like foes. It's better to not know what they are and why they're doing what they're doing. All that's important is that they left incredibly dangerous weapons behind and there are bad people, like Abstergo, who shouldn't get their hands on it. They should take a page from Lovecraft, who understood that real fear and intrigue came from an absence of knowledge. It creates debate and dialogue rather than spoon feeding people a potentially lame story, which some will find interesting, but most will not.

[@jollysouwester56]

Agreed

[@StephaneChapheau]

I agree with you man, that's why I liked the first Assassin's Creed. A simple prediction about the end of the world, and all you had were clues from ancient civilizations. I still love the games, but the story won't be as good as the first ones.

[@iKlix014]

i still dont really understand the game -.-

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

You play as a guy trying to save the world through a solar flare, and by reliving the memories of your ancestors, you find the key to saving humanity. simple as that

[@Audiofreund2]

+Jay Large there is desmond. and you relive his memories which are saved in his dna: those are all the alta ir, enzio etc game parts.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Brent Black pretty much. I bought (or got free from xbox games with gold) all the games from AC1 all the way up to Assassin's Creed 4 for just 25 dollars total

[@plebeedwin]

play them

[@iKlix014]

The broo i have..

[@Coachmeister]

Now I know what's up, great video summary. Quite confusing lore for a parkour game franchise. Thanks for the recap ign. Now I'm all set for rogue

[@adeshthakur4578]

i directly started playing assasins creed 4 and then after some days i played assasins creed 3 with this video i understood the full story of all assasins creed games

[@IAmFooly]

Ac2 is still the best assassins creed game to me, and ezio is still the best assassin imo, but then again I stopped playing them after ac3. The endingto that game was just SO FREAKIN BAD MAN!!! It literally killed the franchise for me and I haven't played one since. Now every ac game I see afterwards just looks like they're milking it.

[@yeah2224]

I agree with everything you said. AC 2 was the only game I got all achievements on because it was so fun to free roam.

[@AndyTaylor91]

Haven't played an Assassins Creed game since 3? Wow you missed a whole one game.

[@isaacgleeth3609]

Black Flag is another great AC game. It's got pirates, ship battles, whaling, and treasure dives along with the assassinations and historical fiction. It's up there with the best AC games and one of the best games of 2013.

[@darkwindsage]

***** Don´t forget the shanties

[@jaffawaffa22]

Suse, you should really play AC4: Black Flag, it was SO MUCH BETTER than AC3 seriously. Give it a try.

[@nathanielberry4965]

This is a prime example of a series that has gone on for WAY too long.

[@kuzco523]

I knew all this, but watching it again makes me want to get the next game even more.

[@raven_the_demon]

That was so amazing! The best explanation I ever saw!😍👍

[@DaniG._.German]

Time to update

[@DeadOnArrival45]

Assassins Creed ' s story is becoming as crazy as metal gear solids story.

[@witchywoman2008]

The AC Modern Day is basically my whole life - but when you put it like this... holy hell this series is insane.

[@davcho7]

This makes it so clear. I was so confused about the story because it is not easy to really follow

[@McAssassin98]

AC is the best story of a game franchise ever

[@nuclear804]

fanboy

[@JordanM56]

yeah nah

[@UKCHEEZ]

its up there

[@McAssassin98]

NuclearByte No i just respect a really good game storyline.

[@nuclear804]

***** It's not that good... You obviously haven't played enough story-driven games in your lifetime.

[@94harmstonb]

This is why I love Assassin's Creed. The story. Not the, ooh look I'm a pirate and kill everyone. The story is what keeps me going, which is why I was disappointed with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The modern day story didn't develop as much as I wanted it to. I just hope Assassin's Creed: Unity will move forward with the modern day section, and give us more depth on the actual goals of modern Templar (Abstergo) Order and the Assassin's Creed. I need to know what happens next with Juno!

[@hotrode96]

Glad I finally found someone else who likes the modern day stuff. I did not pick up ACIV because of the fact that their wasn't really modern day stuff.

[@Milano606]

Well the modern day of AC IV kind of served the purpose of saying goodbye to Desmond and then prepare the story for the epicnes of Juno's return.

[@ManAssome]

Watch Dogs seems to be the way they are going, to develope its modern story as its rumored to be set in the same universe as AC. Also Juno's fate remains unknown but theres a possibility that she is going to cause one hell of chaos to the planet where both the templars and assassins get fucked and ultimately start working together to save the humanity from that powerful being.

[@Lolpy.]

Benjamin Anson and then unity didn't even have modern day which is good ver very good

[@arin7053]

Thanks for the great recap

[@RebuildingYourRuins]

This video was awesome. Had all the meat and potatoes of Assassin's Creed for anyone not familiar. Well written, very concise.

[@TheColonelAngel]

So I never understood the story and now I know why I swore this game was just a assassin game in old times what's with all this weird science, religion, shit?

[@SenukeMa]

You need to be a fan of the series to understand, the story is very complex. This guy didn't even go indebted.

[@TheColonelAngel]

I_AM WHO_iAM maybe man because I only beat black flag and even towards the end i was like wtf did i just switch to mass effect? lol

[@SenukeMa]

TheColonelAngel Well if you only beat black flag, it's understandable that you don't understand the whole story.

[@bellapalmer4718]

SpiritMolecule1 Thos knights templar symbols are as familiar as the pope's symbols and the rest of the catholic church.. hmmmmm

[@brunothealmighty28]

Obviously you never paid much attention to the story in the games.

[@rohithkumarsp]

hope they do 2015 update.

[@brettnote3533]

they will probably do a 2016 update

[@keast18]

+Brett Note *2017, if Ubisoft is really taking this year off.

[@ghost_curse]

+keast18 Didn't they say that the year Revelations came out?

[@izaiahmouzone2189]

I love the assassin story line so in-depth and it makes a good movie

[@InputOne]

This was really well done!

[@Iamsofakingraw]

More fucked up than Metal Gear

[@epsmohassebable]

no :p not at all

[@hennnnnyyyyyy]

+Iamsofakingraw You think this is bonkers, just read and watch the expanded fiction

[@titaniteslab2631]

Hey guys I'm still a little confused, Juno, tells Desmond to activate the eye, which would make Juno powerful again right? Why does he do that knowing Juno's bad intention of global slavery and revenge... I'm probably entirely incorrect, if anyone could correct me and explain it to me I'd be happy :)

[@harrypage7081]

He thought that people would find a way to stop Juno but since nothing really happened in unity/syndicate Juno hasn't done anything yet and nobody is any closer to even realising that she's going to ruin everything apart from about 4 people (Desmond's father and that lot), but they're too weak due to ac rogue. We'll have to wait until at the earliest 2017 for anything to happen as far as i know.

[@titaniteslab2631]

That explains it all

[@karinajakobsen8045]

If he didn't activate the eye, most of the human population would die when the solar flare roasted earth. In the aftermath, Desmond would be a leader, that after his death would be praised and end up regarded as a god, and the circle would start over again. If he activates it, Juno is freed, and saves earth. But she will have the desire to rule earth. (Btw, he basicaly goes against the assassin creed by activating it, and accepting global dominance instead of extinction XD ) Desmond's hope was that he could have both. Save all of earth, and the population would find a way to stop Juno. In the last 2 games we have heard very little of Juno. In Unity we saw her refuse to take possetion player, and in Syndicate we see a short clip of her, at the end of the game. So basicaly the present day story has moved ahead at a snail pace in the last 2 games.........

[@titaniteslab2631]

Karina Jakobsen thank you so much

[@thedrawingegg4685]

Karina Jakobsen hi

[@ericdegre3538]

I just saw this video after Unity, and so much for that!

[@marcoslorenzana4191]

Desmond wasn't an ex assassin he was a bartender when they kidnapped him then gained his skills in assassins creed 2 through ezio

[@saakov1]

That shit is confusing!

[@GTALLNIGHT]

Right lol too much going on!

[@cleric022684]

His annoying voice and fast pace will satisfy only american listeners i guess..

[@awesome1ru]

ikr so uncomfortable

[@aaronkempster1]

More like to get it in 5 mibutes

[@angelreinosa7456]

Yea because everyone else In the world has "proper" English. It's a freaking video game video, did you expect a English lesson?

[@MrFoniek]

Annoying? He doesn't have an annoying voice, and he talked fast to hold the video in 5 minutes.

[@OnionKnightRises]

Seriously, you people find literally anything to try and insult Americans

[@spyder4108]

Thank you so much for this video

[@big0514]

The previous AC game was my first so the whole game I'm like ok I'm playing a video game in a video game it got boring cause I couldn't follow properly and I watched gameplay on the one before and it still wasn't 100% clear but these vids cleared it up I wish I coulda started from the beginning

[@adithyaanil6510]

2021 update

[@FireDreamShow]

The story is too complicated

[@Curtsy208]

You did well in high school history class, didn't you?

[@lakalie19]

+ichangedmyname Its brilliant.

[@hamzz6824]

+ichangedmyname That's what makes it interesting. Simple stories are just boring imo.

[@Gioyoji]

+KidGamer yes as complicated as history

[@jesotx2637]

+ichangedmyname You mean convoluted

[@RockonTF]

Im actually impressed they fit all of this in 5 minutes...

[@justinculbertson9177]

Cool and basically explains everything and no spoilers because assassins creed unity is going to be a big surprise.

[@TheForbiddenOne55]

lol....damn this is one cluster f**k of a story.

[@louisxvioffrance990]

+Omari jä Ahsünn and that is just the modern day. lets not even go into the history part of things.

[@TheForbiddenOne55]

+Ethan Frederick lol right. Amazing how they effed up a storyline that had so much potential starting out.

[@bestfriendrobert]

Desmond isn't dead though. That was a clone with the apple of eden. He's hiding somewhere

[@kiki-bb4fm]

I hope...

[@LuckStroN]

Desmond is kidnapped.

[@sammcguinness4344]

No Desmond is alive guys if you look closely Nicholas from the walking dead is on top of him so he just under the dumpster

[@LuckStroN]

+Sammc Efc games Yes, he is alive (probably), but he is kidnapped.

[@wo403]

+Sammc Efc games lol!

[@RDW4]

An hour long documentary would be awesome

[@syahmieshahar1679]

Assassin's Creed is deeper than what I expected!

[@LXS4774]

Im still lost. I never played AC., can someone explain whats the MAIN point of the game. Whats the goal

[@MarathonMann]

Play as a dude that assassinates people from different points in history such as renaissance Italy or Civil war U.S.A.

[@LXS4774]

Wouldn't that change things though. Like a butterfly effect

[@TheS1lentGamer]

no because you have to do the exact same sort of things that that assassin did

[@LXS4774]

TheS1lentGamer so what's the point of doing a job someone els already did? I'll just stop asking questions.

[@TheS1lentGamer]

i think it was so they could find out where the pieces of eden were before the templars got to them

[@Skansener]

Ezios Trilogy is the only Assassin's Creed, all after that was crap and each year I feel even more disappointed. Victory will be a huge mistake, I can already tell :( I am really sadden as it was my favourite game ever, and Ezio will forever stay in my heart.

[@Skulleye97]

Ac3 and 4 wass good.

[@fluxsphinx9630]

1.its not victory its syndicate.2. Assassin's Creed IV was a good game.3.Syndicate will not be a mistake if you actually look at the trailers and information that game will be the best over AC Trilogy

[@Skansener]

1. By the time I wrote this comment it was gonna be called Victory, no one ever heard of Syndicate. 2. Yes AC IV was good, but it didn't feel like AC anymore. 3. You can't tell yet

[@lakalie19]

+Dragonborn I agree with you completely, I haven't played any more of the games past revelations because I loved Ezio so much and the new games just didnt spark any interest for me. But I would like to see how the story ends up as I quite enjoyed it

[@tompetty927]

I believe we need another one if these

[@michalzaprt5602]

Thanks for this video, lost interest in this game after the first one but was still bit curious about that story :)

[@adriandaf7]

what the damn hell? who wrote this plot? a 5 year old? rofl

[@tommyburke6732]

I knew everything here except for the fact that john was a reincarnation of mirandas husband when did it say that

[@ItsJR516]

there was a full cutscene lol what were u doing?

[@isaacgleeth3609]

Actually, it was Juno's husband Aita, and John was a reincarnation of Aita.

[@wasteman3259]

Dafuck is miranda

[@isaacgleeth3609]

---UltimateGuyOfAwesomeness--- I think he meant to say Minerva, the One who gave Ezio the warning.

[@epicshooters1000]

---UltimateGuyOfAwesomeness--- Miranda Kerr

[@notalaeyt784]

Big Smoke and Ryder are my favorite Assassins.

[@Subject18]

1:40 is one of the best scenes I have ever seen in a video game or even movie. Ezio speaks to a god. He later speaks to his descendant born 500 years after he is. How is the possible? A f*cking deep story.

[@lakalie19]

+dragboyodoom Yeah man, when I played this for the first time the moment she turned to look at Desmond it sent chills up my spine lol

But 2012 has already come and gone. Why is the story still stuck on 2012? Is this like the last season of How I Met Your Mother where every game now takes place over the course of one single day? Is Ubisoft that complacent as to just keep milking the same franchise over and over? Somebody wrist blade AC in the neck please.

[@OsnosisBones]

it stopped being 2012 after the end of 3.

[@AlekSchultz]

AC4 is in 2014

[@SlowWinterNuts]

sth128 ...AC Rogue and Unity are in 2015...

[@Shystee53]

sth128 1st of all, the games aren't stuck in 2012, Black Flag, and Unity both take place after 2012... And the game generally focus' on that year because all the games up until the end of AC3 are based on a story where you are trying to prevent the solar flare tragedy that occurs in 2012.. Everything is set into motion because of that solar flare so of course the story is going to focus on that year

why didn't Desmond have kids before dying

[@TheCodShow2000]

He did have kids with Sofia from AC Revelations. Watch "Assassin's Creed: Embers" on yt

[@bean9248]

TheCodShow2000 so they can just do a 15 years later with is kid

[@Clarkd87]

LOL. He said Desmond, not Ezio. Desmond didn't have any kids. You're thinking of Ezio...

[@AssassinadiMLG]

He would have to f either because or lucy

[@malikkemp7617]

This and the last video saved me so much research

[@kelvinwan129]

My mind has literally blown up after the first 20 seconds

[@dantewalters7749]

Why is the first civilisation based in America... America's history is not very interesting.

[@IGamesNetherlands]

Cuz America is the best country... Not

[@michaelj.caboose2469]

Then why is your picture Captain America?

[@candycane5952]

it's a game, they can put anywhere they want, but we does prefer story follow up the real world fact that Africa and egyp is the first civilisation, or another part of earth that containt unsolved mystery like Norway, Scotland, Indonesia, China and Mongolia.

[@EWPBPSstealth]

ok, who seriously gives a shit about the ancient crap or the people in the present?? I just play it for the main attraction! Playing as the assassins! Not that stupid Juno bullshit

[@gabrielcarter4331]

TheWrangler48 I care about the modern day.

[@The124jumbo]

All true AC fans do

[@taltigolt]

+TheWrangler48 people like you are what ruined the series and turned it into what it is today people like you are what caused each game after 3 or 4 to be made no modern day story what so ever

[@rubenthelegendary4181]

I love Assassins creed i really enjoy playing this games i never played ACIII i really want to try that game if they ever remaster for ps4.

[@Bobafett-lc2vx]

I stared at AC3 but didn't finish it, then I played AC4 BL. And finished it. But thanks to this video I know what I missed :)

[@Konghulio]

great video

[@chihabgoku]

Man I've been playing this franchise for years never even knowing what the story was all about!!!! :o

[@jiangdangwang]

The thing i dont really understand is when desmond activates the eye. Wasnt juno's consciousness suppose to release too? Or did i get the part wrong where juno's plan was ruined by something. Can someone help me out?

[@evelyngraham2487]

Theirs levels to plot. Okay Well done little confusing but awesome. Idk Wtf but I love it.

[@regardt4246]

I don't know why everyone is still confused about the story, everything makes sense for me. Well probably because i played each of the Assassin's Creed games mentioned in this video at least 3 times.

[@cjamesfort]

And this is why the modern day back story matters. It's literally the entire basis for everything that happens. Also the Assassins and Templars trade positions between who are the "good guys" and "bad guys". Games taking place in Europe tend to have relatively good Assassins and horrible Templars while the opposite is true for the Americas.

[@Notster07]

The original story of Desmond being able to time travel would have been 100000000x better instead of being this confusing and off putting. -.- Ubisoft, fix this please.

[@MrSafe-xz6iy]

This is better.

[@Principologija]

Tnx for video!!! :)

[@ignaciovillasenor119]

After watching this video, Is it ok to start on the ac games with black flag or unity? I never played any of the other games what do I do?

[@RemusNeo]

I miss Desmond..

[@greenhood2134]

Ohh man I like the story of the game ive played all ac except unity but i freaking love the story the modern and the past story I like this franchise :D

[@GameOwnagenessplays]

I just learned a lot about AC

[@FlyKIDK1]

Thank you ign for saying Desmond is dead and not alive.people keep saying "oh he's coming back in ACU"

[@brirenals7448]

The future story line used to be so interesting with Desmond, a deep interesting coded story that gave light to what was to come in the future, slowly learning truth of the past in a zeitgeist of small Revelations... The hope was to eventually lead up to a significant meaning and purpose from everything that happened in the past, but unfortunately we have people with small attention spans or people who just didn't know what was going on saying it sucked, and Ubisoft listened, and killed off Desmond and the beautiful complexed future storyline. And now using mechanics from a good engine to sell yearly releases of the same empty shell game to new consumers. Ubisoft has cut the heart out of Assassin's Creed. :'{

[@steezyraptor8508]

The dishonored series is miles above, but the characters in depth plot is well done.

[@happytrigger807]

Please make the latest update of Assassin’s Creed in 5 Minutes

[@leocastrillo759]

so what comes next? i beat rouge and unity and it tells you nothing like wtf is when will it fully explain?

[@emoryandrylanlangley1637]

Can you update this for Origins?

[@jacobneale3985]

IGN, seriously, Thank You!

[@madjojo500]

waiting to see the story for unity! :D i played every single AC

[@rouge5140]

video game creating rule 9375 : if someone is called john they need to be the epicentre of a plot twist.

[@ezgiacik2371]

That ... That's a lot to take in. Holy crap.

[@LVA2010]

I played every single Assassins Creed game to date and I didn't know this. lol. The past is far more interesting than the present in the game.

[@lolaboots7028]

wow i didnt know the whole part after juno died. am excited for the future parts in the game now!
