Still looks good in 2020. I was in awe the first time I climbed that tower as the sense of scale and fear of height came through in a game.

[@Berandaro]

Yeah, I was properly impressed as well once I got up there for the first time, it's a great game)

[@jcers]

A big difference between AC1 and other games in the series is that you physically cannot turn your camera high enough to see the top of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. That really adds to the sense of its scale, even though other buildings in the series are much taller.

[@henriqueferreira8656]

2021 and still fighting with this corner mechanics 😂

[@GregJonson]

I didn't know that corner climbing technique was an actual game mechanic. Thank you, Ubisoft Montreal, for dicking me over like that.

[@ankergutten3428]

10 years and still saving lives. Thanks mate I could not for the life of me this one figure out

[@Berandaro]

I'm happy to be of help :)

[@itsfine5818]

We take so much for granted these days but I'll be damned if this didn't blow my mind back in the day. It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen in a game. You can climb anything and everywhere - imagine that!

[@chrisssyg]

A genuine hour trying to get up this with the glitchy corners....then a templar trew me straight off🤬🤬

[@reed8712]

similar situation here, except RIGHT BFEORE getting on the perch i misclicked and fell right off :’))

[@star_man]

Thank you for this. Stupid glitchy PC port wouldn't let me go around the corners like you so I thought there must be another way up but could never find it. Wasted loads of my time trying to figure it out thanks to Ubisoft's crappy programming.

[@DerCem6789]

I like the climbing mechanics in the first part. You had to turn on your brain to get anywhere. In parts of the past few years, this has now been made so easy that even a brain-dead person can do it. Simply pushing up is enough, even on the steepest walls of all. Those who hated climbing so much in the first part must be overwhelmed with the simplest things.

[@subhrasadhukhan4788]

1:40 there is a ladder please use it . ..😂

[@BEHRAM89]

Thanks man! It was so complicated.

[@subhrasadhukhan4788]

What a suicide attempt....

[@supremekingjaden.3096]

Coming back to the first game after every other assassins creed, you realize how slow the climbing is.

[@johndaarteest]

Used to love climbing the Spire at Acre but the height used to give me vertigo even though it's a computer simulation lol :)

[@syasyaidyrazlan7115]

Thanks!!! I get it now. To get the corners you gotta press up first, then press right.

[@KuyaArbee]

So revolutionary this game was! The free flowing climbing mechanics is now what all games use! This game was a marvel at the time and still is in my opinion! This is like the half life 2 of open world games!

[@user-hy6pe1ik3m]

More difficult than helicopter at GTA

[@sadiesstuff4270]

Omg I almost broke my controller when trying to get from the ledge to the thingy under the circle at 1:23 😅😡

[@onr881]

no joke, took me like 30 minutes to actually make it to the top and jump into the hay, even when I did before, the game would make my character jump off the church as I'm climbing the cross

[@yusufemreyazigan3764]

1:22 dostum yuvarlak cama atlamaniza gerek yok aşağı doğru indiren yol var ordan inip çıkıntıya realx bir şekilde geçebilirsiniz 2 saat boyunca oraya atlamaya çalistim en son tapınakçı beni oldururken gordum

[@beanz845]

this shit triggered me literally trying to climb this chapel for 30 min ly fuk

[@neporushnist]

Thanks

[@Houratronic]

Cool! -SGF

[@cheekybum1513]

Thank you A decade later from a PC player

[@Berandaro]

Cheers mate :)

[@PortaJoseph]

Danke mein freund, es was sehr schwer ....

[@harsh111yt]

Alternate route i found after an hour at 0:40 just jump backwards & Altair will grab the tower behind, will save your time & head from pain

[@sebastianmalinowski8525]

Thx

[@bsalini1949]

I can’t fuckin make the climb. Trying to jump onto the circular window is a pain in the ass!

[@andrecruz6485]

2020?

[@thatothergirl4663]

What if you're afraid of heights? Lmfao, poor you.

[@Astristul]

The game doesn't let me pass the corner at 1:07. Playing it on XB1 btw.

[@morallygray6527]

You have to press up and go right at the same time its super weird

[@Astristul]

@@morallygray6527 nah, it simply doesn't work on XB1. Maybe on PC works, idk. Anyway, I've found out a better route for it. Right through the front of the church. 🙂

[@subhrasadhukhan4788]

I also clomb this view point .....this is the highest view point in assassin creed 1

[@mylifeisfunny8911]

it took me 2 hours to find a climbing spot. Its like an annoying riddle.

[@Berandaro]

@stevenyoman First my Logitech Profiler is always running Second I choosed in the options in AC my gamepad by clicking on the kind of controller that is used :) there you can scroll through a few different controllers and yeah one of them is the gamepad ^^

[@miguels.b.2749]

The worst AC I have played so far... Thanks, dude

[@Al3x10_]

Well it was the very first one 😅😅 So I do understand that the mechanics and parkour aren't that that good

[@whatwespinning]

its the best one

[@stephenm28]

This fucking game is glitched to FUCK

[@supertna9154]

It's playing up

[@tariqhussain4760]

In 2020 or 2021

[@einfachorangensaft4879]

Bist du deutsch ☺️🇩🇪 ?

[@Berandaro]

Ich spreche deutsch, ja :)

[@wouter90]

Made me think of Jan van Schaffelaar. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_van_Schaffelaar

[@Berandaro]

wow yeah, they have strong similarities, what a magnificent building!

[@supertna9154]

Your video is constantly freezing

[@edwardk6464]

I fucking hate this one, made me want to quit the game with these dumbass mechanics

[@tariqhussain4760]

Don't climb the building there is written allah

[@jackl2502]

it's a cathedral...

[@klusey5244]

Thanks
