Has anyone ever realized that somehow we play as assassins and eliminate every Templar in every game yet whenever we get to the modern time somehow the templars are in charge

It’s less an organization and more of a philosophy. They’ve addressed this multiple times in fact throughout the series. And at times where yes even the assassin’s are in the wrong. The simple fact is neither philosophy ever truly dies because of Eisu’s reincarnation and artifacts stringed a cross the world Although I terms of why the Templars are in control during the modern day, it’s actually addressed in Syndicate’s lore.

The templars are spread throughout the world just like the assassins are. If one region is freed from them there will always still be another region that would send new people to take charge there. In multiple games both the templars and assassins say that their order or brotherhood will never be destroyed

I had the same thoughts too. Back when Syndicate came out, I thought it was the perfect time to have a storyline involving the fall of the Assassins and rise of the Templars. The game took place in 1868, so I thought it would have a story with ramifications closely linked to the state of the present day Assassins. Nope. Just three Assassin's completely saving the entirety of London. I would think the Assassins would lose at least a time or two if Templars were so dominant in modern day? Each game just has a protagonist that single-handedly takes away "Templar" control.

@@deepvoicedude4749 The problem is that they don't do either one correct. I was enjoying the modern day until AC3. It could have been a bit more in some isntances but it was a nice connection. But from AC4 onwards, the modern day plot went nowhere and they should have either cut it or really think about what they want to achieve. Because what made the modern day plot interesting was that the games were connected through it even when you changed Assassin's. But now, even that is not the case. The modern day plot is different between AC4, Unity, Rogue and Syndicate. There is no connection between the games through the modern day plot. And even though they introduced a new character in Origins, the same is true for this one. Origins introduces Layla and rushes her arc (even Desmond had more time in AC1), then you just search for the staff in Odyssey and now the world is suddenly ending. Even Layla's plot isn't really connected by the games which makes them pointless since there is not enough time for the plot to tell a story.

@@deepvoicedude4749 I agree, it’d be nice if they couldn’t rely on corpses for recovering peoples memories and need like memories from someone they cannot find the body of so they actually have to find someone that’s from their family line to go back to how the animus was originally intended to be used and get actual bleeding effect again where they start seeing things in the modern day with the crossing of memories of their ancestors would be awesome to get to see again. I don’t like that we only really saw the modern day only at the beginning and end even though I’m glad it has an important plot point again, but it’d be nice if they still needed breaks to keep their mind intact so we can still see more of the modern day. Maybe they could do that by having the Assassins Constantly having to Flee Abstergo agents finding their locations and we could see the new protagonist learning new skills gradually where it could mirror their ancestors in that way again like in Assassins Creed 2, and kinda like what went on in 3.

You fucking expressed my feelings on this series perfectly. I love it and I just wished Ubisoft put actual care and passion to make not only AC but all their games. Somewhere in that mess I can see good ideas for possible great games but they insist on copying mechanics that don’t make sense in their games, rushing development and trying to make the “biggest” open world despite it having no meaning for the game. We don’t need game every 3 months Ubisoft. Just make them good.

I will keep saying this. Get the money people out of the way. Let the creative people do what they do best. Example; I write a story you and a few others write the program. If things are not going the way you like you come to me and I do a rewrite where the problem is, or maybe cause of your problem or suggestion I change a section. The art department gives you a drawing of the Boss and you work with it. What I am see now is the money people see something so they tell you, :Hay in RDR II they had this wonderful shootout on the side of a cliff and players loved it, add it." But But But RDR II is a western we are set in the middle of London during the time of Elizabeth the First." They tell you to shut up, tell me to rewrite. I have you do it on the side of a castle and they get mad because it's suppose to be a cliff and oh yeah don't forget the Indians, we need indians with ray guns going pew pew. That's where I feel part of the problem is. I don't know if you know anything about writing program and while I can write a novel (suck at short stories) I bet we and a group could do a halfway good game. Granted the characters would be stick figures ad my dialog might be "Ezio. Why .... do we. Speak...... like that... actor we watched.... on the what they call ..... a TB"

There's actual archaeological evidence of goods from Asia in Scandinavian countries at the time this game was set. We know for a fact that vikings travelled at least as far as modern day Turkey and they traded with what would later become Mongols, so it's not really that much of a stretch at all that there could be an Asian woman in England. Really annoys me when youtubers will criticise a historical point in a game when they obviously know nothing about it. Like if you are not an expert, or at least done some research into it, then just don't comment on things like that.

The thing that ticks me off is that Ubisoft constantly advertises these games using one thing then comes out and says the opposite is “what really happened”. We see Eivor as an Assassin and as a male, and they say Eivor was actually a woman and wasn’t an Assassin. It feels like they just advertise one thing cause that think it’ll sell, then retcon it in the lore so that they can get brownie points.

Ubisoft games are trash and nothing but sjw historical revisionism. The amount of gay vikings and female "warriors" is anachronistic and false and just plain pandering. Dont even get me started on the stupid giant anime fantasy weapons. Noy a single weapon was realistic. They were all 2x to 3x bigger and fatter and heavier than their real life historical counterparts. 90% of the weapons would be impossible to wield in combat in real life. Not to mention making every peak upgrade a golden weapon. The original AC games had actual realistic period weapons.

Seems ridiculous that there’s 2 hidden ones in this game and yet they leave the hunting down of the Order of Ancients to basically a stranger, because...reasons, I guess? Felt such a waste to have Eivor turn them down at the end but makes me think she might join in the DLC

Let's just say it like it is. Assassins Creed games aren't really about Assassins Creed anymore. Scratch the Assassins Creed parts. The one game would be called Odyssee and this one just Valhalla. Scratch the like 10 seconds of attemtped AC content. You won't really see a difference. This is just bs by now. I don't watch the games anymore or play them. I watch the first one or two parts so I at least slightly know what it is about. And then watch the sin video for it. It is too long and has nothing to do with AC anymore. Which is what I liked in the original trilogy. Also the Ezio trilogy was just the best. And Ezio is easily the best Assassin in all games. He actually actively tried to find out about the past and we see him from his birth until almost his end where he find Edens Apple and leaves it there for someone else to find it because he is too old for it. That is some epic content right there. Here it was just included like an easter egg. As well as Desmond. Yes whatever. It is there. It exists. What is even the point of including something like what if Desomnd hadn't saved the world. He did. Point end. But it serves no actual purpose or adds to the plot although the first 5 games were literally all about it. That is sad. Also what happened to the First Civilization? Ubisoft just glosses over everything that made AC good in the first place. And the good series that it was. I wish they would remove the AC from the title. This is just clickbait so people buy it. Nothing else. And it is an insult in my opinion! Also wtf dlc? As with Odyssee... Why? You should get your full experience for the full price you pay for these games. And they aren't even good.

3:39: Technically, the reason you would stop following these characters after they became parents was because the children born in these scenarios were the ancestors of Desmond Miles. However, in Assassin's Creed 4, Edward Kenway had not fathered Haytham yet. In Assassin's Creed Origins, Khemu died before fathering any children of his own.

Right the dna line would only end when the person who was descended from whichever child you got it from was conceived. So, for example, if someone's many times great grandmother was the third child of the person whose memories you were receiving, you could be in a situation where they already had two kids just not the third yet. Also all this was a limitation of the OG animus anyway, now that they're using primary source DNA for Layla's, it can in theory go all the way up to the time where they get the sample from, with Bayek it's from his mummified body so it could cover his entire life.

For all its faults at least Assassin's Creed Odyssey was more honest about this approach, letting you kill as many civilians as you wished while increasing your Bounty Level. The fact a _misthios_ had more freedom to kill civilians than a *Viking* is too telling: Ubisoft avoided to vilify Vikings to avoid alienation from a part of the Public thus to *keep sales high.* The endgame is the cliché reason *Money!*

3:34 Ikr! Ubisoft completely destroyed their own lore in regards to the genetic memories. First they established that you can only get the memories from still-living descendants of the relevant ancestors. Then Origins suggested that Bayek's & Aya's memories could be obtained directly from their mummified corpses, under the pseudo-scientific explanation that their bodies were so well-preserved from mummification that you could still find usable DNA samples. But then Odyssey somehow made it so you could grab a DNA sample off the Spear of Leonidas... somehow. There's no mummy explanation here; you just grab what's presumably a blood or skin cell sample right off the spear, perfectly preserved. And now you grave-rob Eivor's corpse--which isn't mummified at all--to take her perfectly preserved DNA. Ubisoft just completely stopped giving a shit about internal logic and consistency.
@ironwolf56
@ironwolf56 2 жыл бұрын
To be fair they didn't destroy the lore, they very clearly describe the change in technology. Animus 1.0 tech you needed DNA from a descendant, with newer animus tech you just need any DNA sample and you can follow the line. Layla isn't even related (that she knows of anyway) to any of the protagonists of the Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla trilogy. Also if you don't think we can get DNA from long dead remains you haven't been paying attention to technology over the past couple decades. We can; why do you think every few months you'll read some article about some thousands of years old remains showing evidence of human migration we hadn't accounted for?

@@ironwolf56 I never said we can’t obtain DNA from long-dead remains, only that we can’t get perfectly preserved samples. DNA samples degrade significantly over time, after all. Things like decomposition, weather, etc. can eat your sample away bit by bit. You could probably identify a few genome strands here and there from an ancient uncovered corpse, depending on the preservation conditions, but it’ll never be 100% IRL. Now, as I said earlier, Origins at least tried to justify that the mummification process preserved Bayek & Aya’s corpses so that Layla could obtain their samples to sequence their memories (obviously not accurate to real life, but whatever, this is the rule they created for their world and I’ll observe it for the sake of argument). And again, Valhalla contradicts this rule because Eivor is clearly not mummified, so the internal logic Origins created is thrown out the window. How am I supposed to believe a previously established rule when it is blatantly not followed in a later game without explanation? Something simple like, “Eivor was preserved in some Isu temple or her body got partially reanimated by an Isu artifact” would’ve been more consistent within the established lore.

As far as Bayek is concerned, Layla used the DNA from Bayek’s mummy in Origins, and could therefore explore his entire life, if she so chose.

He retook Wessex after guerilla fighting and drove them back to Chippenham. Guthrum then converted to Christianity and was baptized. Ubisoft didn’t get it entirely correct but it is one of the things they got almost right about the historical accuracy of this game.

If only the game had the same concept as AC Brotherhood where you could re-visit certain memories to play, but have them all accessible from the start. Maybe tag some as "main story", so I can just play the non-filler missions like I'm watching an anime with a non-filler episode guide...

This^. Also, when you're playing after beating the game, you're playing memories that occurred before Edward sailed back to England with his daughter. And ever since Origins, Layla isn't relieving Desmond or any other character's genetic memories, they're extracting the memories directly from the historical figure's DNA itself.

That and these newer games use newer Animus technology that can get things from primary sources and bypass those limitations. There's a whole lot of lore issues you can complain about in these games, but how the Animus follows life tracks is actually one of the few things they've been pretty careful to explain in-universe.

I couldn’t even finish the game it was so broken. One of the final quests would not let me finish. But I had played for such a long time I didn’t care at that point. There were fish that you supposedly could catch that never ever spawned after hours of searching from the shore and in a little boat. Every time I talked to the hunter about turning in my legendary animal trophies resulted in an immediate crash. The list goes on. And then it crashes into a dump truck full of wet cow shit on a 90 degree day

Wait really, the whole new disaster the modern plot has in this game was because the electromagnetic field Desmond turned on in AC3 is still active? Didn't Abstergo find Desmond's body in those ruins, did they not think to try and turn it off, or was I missing something? Edit: also damn the view count is pretty low only 35K, is it because Valhalla is a late topic now or because of the 10-30 sec videos breaking the algorithm again
@tebesnigrum6650
@tebesnigrum6650 3 жыл бұрын
You can not just turn it of, they would need to build another one which could destroy the "shield" again. Probably technically possible for the Isu, but not for mere humans. Who knows what Abstergo is doing at that point, maybe they are actually trying to find a way, maybe they are to busy fighting the Instruments, or maybe they are still dominated by the Instruments influence (which is unlikely since they actively worked together with the Assassins to kill Juno) who would probably even prefer a new post apocalyptic world order, since a "new beginning" would make it a lot easier dominating humanity. Who knows, we only really know one Assassin teams perspective on the whole situation, everything else is speculation on topics the lore-writers probably did not even define yet.

This may be the last AC game I play. After we lost Desmond there was hope we were going somewhere. Then Juno was taken care of in a comic book, which a lot of us never knew about. We got a few ... call it what they were, side games. They were fun but in my opinion took the story nowhere. Unity could have been a great foreshadowing of things to come where here in the present day a sect of both our major players join forces to defend against the ultimate. The two overlapping creed become a third. Then we came up with Origin, a tale that explained the start of the Assassins. It made sense, everything had to start somewhere. Now we have Valhalla and what did we get? Well they gave us fans what we wanted, Desmond back, sort of. But it looks like his sacrifice was for nothing. We have been told what is planned for the next five years, but to me it don't sound like something that can give us a solid footing, with the exception of what they may do with Loki and maybe the Japanese game. We followed AC up to AC 3 (I didn't care for that game but it was important to the plot). The we were fighting for a reason. First it was to stop an Apple being sent into space to control us then to stop the solar flare. We felt like there was a goal to reach. Present day AC is not what it started out as. On one hand it is good as it brought more players to the game. But, on the other hand we may have lost what we could have had, in terms of storytelling. For me the entire franchise was based on telling a multi game story leading up to an "Avenger Endgame" type conclusion. The other option would be finish this story line, or start a new one where the animus is used to explore the past. Not as an Assassin but as a person out of the past who makes history, both big and small. Who am I kidding, no one is going to listen to a nobody like me.

4:33 Interesting that you mention that, since the only real entertainment value the more recent AC games have for me is when I go on those historical tours. Honestly, the only part of the narrative that I care about in this game is that future installments let us play as an Isu in the modern day, Layla’s story is over and Desmond is essentially still alive.

Probably has something to do with the fact that Loki is half giant? Or I guess in Isu terms, one parent is higher class and the other is lower class. That’s why in the game he’s Brown while everyone else is White. Just a thought
