All critisism aside, i really liked Ac Mirage for going back to roots and offering decent 20 hour campaign like previous games. Its a step in the right direction by Ubisoft and we all appreciate Mirage for what it is, rn am havin a blast Parkouring though the streets of bagdad and like how it not always takes ages to get from point A to point B like previous RPG entries and not to mention Great vid as always.

Actually for the time of its release, AC1 had great physics and parkour mechanics. And also just a little time after it the Ezio series (2 - Brotherhood - Revelations) took further all of them like riding, swimming etc. They were the real masterpieces.Hope they will improve these.

[@LionMob]

I really miss the animus effects on characters, like the white glow on the enemies in AC1. While the new combat is fun I think the old combat is way more immersive; Assassins don't wear armor, they wouldn't be throwing swords left and right trying to hit something, they would wait for the right moment to counter, like in the old games.

[@johnmarston1227]

Ngl, original was way ahead of its time and still holds up pretty well.

[@thiagopina4258]

Being the first one it would be logical to find that ac 1’s features are present in majority of the series right ? But turns out some things still remain unique to the first entry

[@PurooRoy]

My personal favourite, that after we assassinate a target and have a conversation with them as they die, we can actually change the camera angles. As far as I know, Syndicate is the only other game in the series where we can do this.

[@JustFun598]

TBH, few days ago I had started playing AC1 once again, and the more times you play it, the more you realize that this game is a masterpiece. You totally get immersed into being the Assassin, and in order to find out information about targets and missions, you must scan and navigate environments, eavesdrop on conversations, intercept and steal letters that contain information, beat up people to find information.... pretty much immerse yourself in the world and do what you would need to do in real-life. As for combat, I pretty much prefer AC1 combat over modern games, the only thing I would add to it however, is that the more enemies can attack you at the same time, but everything else is just perfect, and so are counter attacks, because Altair is the Master Assassin, very smart and perceptive, with a lot of skills and life-long combat training, so obviously he can easily read opponents and find the easiest way to neutralize them fairly easy in combat, as Al Mualim had said, Altair is the best and most skilled assassin at his disposal, so ultimately Altair was the best that Masyaf had to offer at that time. When it comes to story, it is amazing as well, very well written, and when it comes to characters we saw a lot of development from them, we got to see Altair learning the thing he never liked, being patient, and getting even more wisdom throughout the story, not having mercy, but also showing compassion few times, spared a life and his life later changed for better because of that decision. we also got to know Desmond`s and Lucy`s story, we learnt about Abstergo and a lot more useful information that would come in handy later in the series to understand everything better, and all of it was very well written and explained. The game can be a tiny bit rough around the edges when it comes to gameplay, but it is the first game in the series, and its development was rushed a bit towards the end, but IMHO, AC1 is "the" Assassins Creed game.

[@S.E.S.SoldierOfDemocracy]

Same bro. Brotherhood is a close second imo

[@hrsmp]

Gameplay loop is way too tedious though.

[@crackadealdez]

The fact is that the game has been specially simplified. In fact, you can be attacked by 3 or more enemies at the same time, sometimes this happens, but due to the fact that the opponents are made too passive, they usually attack one at a time. But that's not all, opponents have hidden kill animations, for example, they can kill other NPCs with a stab in the back (you saw this finishing twice in the game during cutscenes). There are also hidden features in the combat system, for example, you can use a hidden blade at the same time as any other weapon. If you strike with a hidden blade during a fight with a sword or dagger, Altair will not sheathe them if you do it all quickly. If you use a hidden blade in hand-to-hand combat, then you can do dodges by switching between a hidden blade and fists, moreover, if you quickly switch to fists after dodging and press the attack button, Altair will produce a unique animation of a punch, but unfortunately, it does not cause damage. The game has been specially simplified and it has a lot of hidden features, this is my favorite combat and parkour system among similar games because it really resembles fighting games that I like, and not systems with stupid rolls during which you get invulnerability. Ubisoft could improve this system, but first they simplified it in the first game, and then, instead of finishing and improving, they began to remove many things from it. Perhaps they were right, considering that most players absolutely do not understand this game and go through it using counterattacks or parkour just up, not realizing that parkour is about finding ways, and not climbing up with the speed and animations of a monkey, which is physically impossible.

[@wooziesolo]

what if Prince of Persia: Warrior Within's free form combat system + Assassin's Creed's free form parkour system it would be a big blast in gaming history

[@Macho_Man_Randy_Savage]

AC1 holds up so well and it's good to see it being looked at in a positive light now as in the past it was considered not worthy of even touching.

[@BatMane95]

Yeah it's nice. May not be the best game in the series since it got surpassed by the next game and a few after that, but it's still worth trying out just to see how it all started.

[@apictureoffunction]

No it wasn't 😂 It sold like 9 million copies and was a massive commercial hit for you Ubisoft. Reviews weren't great but they weren't overly negative either, with most of them rating AC around a 7-8 which was completely fair.

[@PurooRoy]

We will always be grateful to Altaïr for having remade the hidden blade, so that no more assassins would have to cut their fingers.

[@zerocreation4636]

If I remember correctly, the one who remade the hidden blade is Da Vinci in AC2, altair still using the old hidden blade.

[@VuLinhAssassin]

​@@zerocreation4636Yes but Da Vinci used the schematics written by Altair to make these for Ezio.

[@dynomusic4356]

@@VuLinhAssassin The schematics required you to cut off your finger. Da Vinci improvised.

[@VuLinhAssassin]

@@dynomusic4356 Nah, it was Altair who discard the ring finger removal process. You can re-read the codex paper Altair wrote. It basically said assassins no longer need to have their ring finger removed for commitments. Altair was a great assassin, humbled from his own experience and failure. Da Vinci invented the poison darts and hand crossbow instead.

[@dynomusic4356]

@@VuLinhAssassin Why did Da Vinci say that the hidden blades he fixed required a missing finger to work then? He said that he changed it so that Ezio could keep his finger.

In AC1 when you end first city, there the enemies with new moves, which can grab you in block and throw

[@philipstarris1469]

I think my main issue with Mirage is that it's way too easy to escape guards. They can hardly keep up if you climb up the nearest building or just continue running for that matter. And increasing the difficulty doesn't change this.

About AC1 combat, you are wrong about a thing : you didn't showcase the grabbing system used by ennemies. The grabbing is used by the ennemy to bypass your guard and throw you around.

[@hrsmp]

You can counter-grab them instead

[@crackadealdez]

@@hrsmp But they have a block breakout. The problem with the first part is that the enemies are too passive, although in fact you can be attacked by more than three enemies at the same time from different sides. The enemies had to be made much more active, as well as reduce the player's health level so that he would have, say, 7 cells out of 20 at the end of the game. Given the wide variety of possibilities, including hidden ones, it would be very interesting.

I don't know why the maker of this video skipped the aggressive double attack feature that the original AC had, where if you tapped right on time of weapons' impact you go for the instant finish. But more surprised on why the game designers decided to cut it off in the later games. IMO the best combat, character, presentation and overall simplicity goes to the original AC - a 2007 game that its creators somehow can't beat to this day.

[@crackadealdez]

They are still present in many subsequent games. They cut out a lot of features from the combat system already in the second part, but the kill combos (Not chains) still remained in the game for a long time.

[@likhithtalasila5589]

new music felt kind of weird but liked the video.. good to know you finally decided to move a bit away from gta LOL😄😄

[@riannon8925]

I know this sounds strange, but a good comparison with AC3 and RDR2 would be very cool. Those 2 games have a lot in common. First AC3 was inspired by RDR1, but RDR2 has a lot of mechanics very similar to AC3, characters too.

[@Unknown-hb3id]
