GAME SINS | Everything Wrong With Assassin's Creed Unity In Sixteen Minutes

[@gruma37]

I'm adding my own personal sin for "You've been stripped of your rank as an assassin and exiled from the creed, but you can keep the bracer and the robes if you'd like."

[@kylelehn2249]

I know right? It's like, "You are exiled and no longer an assassin, but we'll let you keep your hidden blade, phantom blade, bracer, robes, and that nice house. We'll even allow you to continue looking for the keys to that legendary armour." Arno was the only person in the brotherhood that wasn't sitting around doing nothing and they kick him out? They know he's going to continue hunting templars, they should have just let him keep doing it as an assassin. Also, they bashed him for joining the assassins in order to get revenge, yet they worship Ezio when he did the same thing.

[@gruma37]

Kyle Lehn Assassin's Creed Unity's story was just... ugh. It makes me wince a little bit because Ubisoft was all like "Hey! French Revolution! All this stuff about the revolution! Even a clip of killing this royal who is a bad person!" And then it was literally nothing about that.

[@kylelehn2249]

Tank Engine Not to mention how all the French characters had English accents. Ruined the immersion for me. It was also slightly offensive and I'm not even french. Ezio had three games and Ubisoft had Italian accents for everyone, then they actually hired a Native American voice actor for Connor, and all the other characters and side characters whether they be Syrian, Native, Spanish, Italian, Irish, and yes, even French, have all had the correct accents. But then when the game comes that actually takes place in France, they can't bother to give everyone the correct accents. It was made by Ubisoft Montreal too, so it's not like French would be a foreign concept.

[@masteronmace]

Don't forget to add that you get to keep ownership of the Cafe Theatre :)

[@titanicww2345]

Yeah the Parisian Assassin's Brotherhood are really bad at their job. Really the exiled Arno did more even though it was very inconsequential in all aspects the plot and the revolution.

[@chowderheadify]

Napoleon was actually average height, his reputation for being short came from British propaganda.

[@newsystembad]

people only called him short because he was 5'2 in french measurements, which were longer than English inches, making him 5'11 in the English system

[@timnovice1998]

How about the a sin for the fourth damn Ubisoft game in recent years where the protagonist gets screwed over; AC 3: Connor's parents and mentor die, his tribe moves away forever. AC 4: Most of Edward's friends die. About 8 out of ten. Watch_Dogs: Friend dies, niece dies, sister and nephew move away forever. AC U: Two father figures, a love interest and two mentors die. Fucking hell Ubi cheer up a little.

[@spikeharusame]

+Parallax Tiger Not everyone's motivation needs to involve someone dying, seriously Ubisoft, is it really too hard to just have a character say "Sure, let's do this."?

[@theboomandbang1]

Ok so we will need a different motivation for an assassin. How about one lone traveler who bumps into an assassin, wants to learn and just gets caught up in the mess. He's a total stranger with no backstory but just wants to play along for fun. I know it's not really smart but it could be a nice change.

[@timnovice1998]

1) If Arno was accused of murdering a noble, he would auttomatically be hanged or beheaded. 2) The Bastille was a prison for political prisonners so Arno wouldn't be sent there. 3) Considering that the very few prisoners the Bastille had were almost all nobles, i think they would be allowed to have furniture (not sure about swords though). 4) You know Ubisoft, aying that the French Revolution, an event that affected (and still affect) our world and that brought democracy to my country (i'm french) was instigated by Templars will NOT make me think of them as the bad guys.

[@arthenosthefirst8176]

nimbalo gaming he also made a bunch of laws and created institutions that still exists today. And the bunch of wars was as much is fault as it was others monarchies who were afraid that there people would follow France's example. But yeah, Louis XVI would have been better as a lochsmith. (that was his hobby and he didn't like to govern, plus i think he was kind of nice).

[@nimbalo300]

***** he was actually a very nice monarch it was just the self-serving few who started the revolution that demonized him. but yea those wars were a combination of a few things partly Austria fearing a rebellion and one mans blind ambition to rule the world.

[@BrutalKnight55]

Do you know what would have been amazing? When Bishop gives you the "choice" to join the brotherhood, Ubisoft could've actually given you a choice. If you go along with Bishop and join the brotherhood, you continue to play ACU like normal. However, if you chose to remain with Abstergo, you relive the memories of Shay and play through AC Rouge. That way, you get insane replay value, more interactive story, and creative player choice. Basically, smashing Unity and Rouge into one game.

Tea that's a great idea but sadly from my perspective they would never have done it, it was way too much of a loss for them money wise, they basically would have been selling to games for the price of one which wouldn't work out since each game had it's own budget and target profit, meaning that without either raising the price of the game to atleast compensate for the loss, they would be at a huge loss and even if they did that, most people would probably be detoured by the huge price, your idea is amazing, personally for the community side of things it's great but on ubisoft or the corporate side of things I think its bad

[@anafmujeeb8689]

Good point about Altair not being a roguish playboy.

[@MTdaBlacking]

They tried to bring it back with Connor and Haytham, and most of them were shot down(can't think why!) By the time they did the same with Shay and Aveline, who were both in spin-offs, I was starting to think people just want roguish playboys for the Assassin's Creed games.

[@TheReaperHunter]

***** Ezio was a chick magnet.

[@MTdaBlacking]

Reaper_Hunter That's the point. Ubisoft made one character, got three games out of him, tried a new guy once, and decided to just keep making the same guy for every critical title.

11:56 Napolean wasn't short at all, that was just some propaganda made up by his enemies. Common misconception, but still: One sin for you, Dartigan! *ding!*

[@soulbreaker2]

The one nitpick I have is with Napoleon. He wasn't "really short" in real life. He was 5''7, which wasn't far from average at the time. He got the "short" reputation because he specifically surrounded himself with the tallest guards. He was a normal guy with an entourage of huge guys, of course he looked small.

[@Fluegelkran]

Plus there was a difference between french foot and imperial foot. So being 5"7 in french foot was akin to being, I don't know 6"1 or something like that in the imperial measurement.

[@kabob21]

Fluegelkran 5'7" is the imperial measurement. He was 5'2" in French units.

[@GoErikTheRed]

That, and the British loved making short "Napoleon is short" jokes. If you believe their political cartoons, you would think he was like 4 feet tall.

[@linden1880]

The naked yelling guy in the Bastille at 4:25 is the Marquis de Sade. This episode is historical and documented in a contemporary source. And, yes, you could bring a violin into a prison if you paid the warden enough. Higher ranking prisoners could obtain all kinds of luxuries for a price.

[@thejamesthird]

Actually Napoleon wasn't short, that was English propaganda. He was above average height and taller than the leader of the British military leader Admiral Nelson!

[@stroheker1]

admiral Nelson was in charge of just the navy i thought.i highly doubt he had control over the army.

[@arthenosthefirst8176]

The idea that he was short comes (i think) from the fact that he wanted only really tall guys as his personal guard

[@clintonwalker2443]

It's a result of the difference between French feet and English feet. French feet were 13 inches, English feet 12 inches. Napoleon was 5'2 in French feet, but 5'7 in English feet, about average height for a man at the time.

13:50 I remember this part of the game as being my swan-song to giving a damn about the plot with how little sense it made.

[@Avenger85438]

I liked Altair as well. He took his duty seriously, as did Ezio and Conner though those two managed to complete their journey in what took Ezio decades but that as just a matter of upbringing. Unfortunately since Ezio they've gotten hung up on Certain parts of his character which are rather grading without the other aspects. So we wind up with self obsessed playboys like Arno. Hell even Edward, with all his faults was better character cause he learned from his mistakes and had genuine friendships he valued Where as Arno, never had such connection outside of Bellic, and Elise, and thus really felt like and Assassin to me.

Actually, the drug-induced initiation is a reference to the real-life Assassins, who were (erroneously) believed to celebrate their becoming full members with an orgy of hashish, wine, and beautiful girls. Also, the real-life Assassins were more or less ALLIES of the Knights Templar, in that both groups worked to oppose the reign of Saladin.

[@ChrisMathers3501]

2wingo Except that the Hashashin used hashish, hence the name. The stuff they gave Arno was more like acid. Except, for the purpose of the story, it lasted for a very short period of time, whereas acid takes between 45 minutes to an hour and 15 just to kick in. Also, the hallucinatory trip and the introspective trip are two very different things, unlike the depiction here where they're one and the same. What happens is you have hallucinations that are really fun to look at for a while, then they suddenly go click and turn off like a television and things return to normal, but it's at this point that you ease into a period of DEEP thought.

I don't really understand sin 29 at 4:57 . As far as I know Edwards' father wasn't a Templar, nor an Assassin. He was just a farmer. Unless you mean either Haytham (Edward's son) became a Templar or Connor (Edward's grandson, and we play as him first) became an Assassin unlike Haytham.

[@false_guru]

Arno's memory reading ability is a unique extension of his eagle vision. Each Assassin's creed has a unique little difference in eagle vision. For example, Edward Kenway's eagle vision is convenient and it's effects last after it is deactivated, but he needs to concentrate on it more and form what I remember you couldn't use it while running/fighting. Connor, on the other hand, can activate his for very long periods of time and also run with it on. There are more examples I'm not listing but you get the jist of it.

[@majorproblem9487]

I've always wandered why the Assassin's order would "exile" anyone, rather than kill them. The most secret organization of Assassins to combat the Templars seem like kind of a big deal to just get 86'd.

[@Antz3The3rd]

The abilty to veiw memories is suppose to be the additional effect of Eagle Vision, just like how they can stop everything around them to listen to their confession. Plus in every other Assassin's Creed game, the characters stab their targets to the point where they can no longer move, combined with a vital area of internal bleeding. Nearly all of Arno's executions are stabing in the neck or chest and obviously, they can't talk.

Most of the stuff was spot on, but just to clear up: The Helix rift missions are when you jump from your server (French Revolution) to another one (Belle Epoque, Occupied Paris, Medieval). Abstergo is looking for you, so they're sweeping their servers to find which one you are in. To counter this, Bishop and Deacon open a rift to another server, usually a corrupted one so that Abstergo won't think to search there. So no, you're not reliving Arno's memories.

Speaking of the "violin in prison" sin, according to an article I've read some time ago the prisoners of Bastille had been treated quite nicely - they could keep pets in their cells (which weren't that bad, either), receive and write letters, play musical instruments or draw/paint... It wasn't such a nightmare of a prison as the entertainment tells us it was.

[@MrsHalloweenJack]

sofija1996 You're right, indeed! (if my literature classes are to be believed, at least...) Many of the prisoners were aristocrats and people of influence. Sentencing someone to imprisonement in the Bastille was as much of a way to remove them from the public eye and keep ideas that were considered harmful to the government to spread as it was a decision of justice, but keeping private correspondence was permitted. Besides, life sentences, while delivered in some cases, weren't the norm (at least in Sade's time. The Bastille has had several centuries of existence, so I'm guessing that wasn't always the case.) Most of the prisoners were due to go out sooner or later. One can assume that giving them access to some distractions was a way for the regime to assure that the prisoners whose convictions were the less firmly rooted wouldn't oppose them again.

I really hated that they gave the french English accents and then gave some excuse for it about the animus translating it into English, did Ezio have an English accent? I want a French accent.

[@chloejanecampbell6210]

Actually, when it comes to the case of the eiffel tower... isn't that monument only visible when you are collecting data from another period in time through the animus? I think that putting the eiffel tower in the game in that case is actually historically accurate. My memories are a bit hazy though, so I apologize if I am wrong about this.

[@frostieschocopop]

7 years later, I know... But you were not. Those parts of the game were all about the Animus being instable and mixing things up. It was using Paris in the 1800s when the World Fair was held there, which explains why the Eiffel Tower was around. But I'm wondering if Dartigan read the entries in the encyclopedia in-game because a lot of information is given. Even explaining the incongruities.

[@Farmeryeti]

Napoleon was average height (maybe a little taller than average) for his time. He was just short compared to today's standards.

[@xLanzer]

1.57

[@shaelynmartin1996]

Dartigan I honestly just saw this video while scrolling through KZbin and I thought "Oh look, CinemaSins does Gaming Sins?" And instantly clicked on video. Didn't bother looking at the name of the person I have now subscribed to. I honestly thought it was the main CinemaSins guy when I started watching and only after realized it was someone completely different. Also, you have made me laugh my ass off at four in the morning. I give props. Your nitpicking about things people most likely don't notice or care about is definitely worth binge watching and all the likes I give to you. If you haven't already, I recommend nitpicking apart Corpse Party/Corpse Party: Book Of Shadows. I saw your Catherine video and it was hilarious (And totally valid!)

[@agentoregon2794]

Bellec threw himself into "half the prisons in Paris" to get it? How did he know where it was? How did he know it existed? How did he possibly escape THAT MANY TIMES without being on the National Guard watch list?

[@alexandruwarrior3325]

I'm watching this in 2021 and wow Dartigan's voice changed a lot in the past years

[@ToolboxMachinima]

Napoleon Bonaparte was 5'7" tall. The idea that he was short was English propaganda.

[@dawnsus1658]

Why do you not have a million subs yet you're the best dude seriously.

[@SuperRD96]

Totally agree with a lot of the things said here. There is only one thing I disagree with and that is that 'Napoleon was short'. Actually Napoleon was average height; his enemies just spread the word that he is a short fellow and spread the propaganda to discredit Napoleon. Also at the end just after you presented the 'sin count' the count went from 110 to just 11

[@nathandiaz2863]

I think Dartigan is the best "Discount CinemaSins" out there. keep it up, man!

[@watayukikimihyra7132]

you should have done a bouns round the the bugs and glitches...but well

[@Dartigan]

Ironically, I didn't encounter but a single bug during my playthrough and it was just some character I was supposed to follow refusing to move. So I didn't get to do any bug related sins like I though I would.

[@stever8961]

I have a nitpick. The curse at the beginning of the game was a genuine curse that the templar knights grandmaster actually told Philip and the Pope, both of which came true.

[@arkrozu7732]

13:21 he looks like he's holding a big ass samsung

[@DarkRubberDucky]

Only one sin pissed me off. Napoleon was somewhere around 5'6, and was considered tall for the time period.

[@jedgil2272]

It has been confirmed that memories can live on in dna

[@KeybladeWielderXV]

"Of course I am French. This is why I have such an OUTRAGEOUS accent you silly King! Your mother was a hamster and your father stinks of elderberries now go away or i shall taunt you a second timer!"

[@Kolibre]

Napolean wasn't short.

[@Dartigan]

In real life he wasn't, but in entertainment he normally is:)

[@PipHalsey]

Dartigan Yeah, though it feels making that a sin is... Off. You're sinning them for actually being accurate to the truth?

[@nicholasmadison7692]

"Can somebody please return Marcellus Wallace's belongings" had me dying bro lmfao keep up the good work sir

[@Kinorocks123]

Quick question...how the fuck did Elise die? i mean, yeah she got blasted with that force field thing, but arno took that shit 5 or 6 times and he's fine. Also the blast clearly isnt lethal even when its focused, remember at the beginning when Thomas Carmellion took a hit? he was fine afterwords...Elise's death is just a way to have a sad ending to this game,

[@djmindcrasher]

I played Unity in French dub and I can't imagine doing it any other way.

[@trizziebrah4417]

U realized u played the game with the weakest armor

[@MTdaBlacking]

To be fair, he seems to insist on playing games with average/default armour set...

[@LiarraSniffles_X3]

Does it matter? You can mash one button in this game and kill an unlimited amount of soldiers with nary a scratch; I don't think having slightly better armor could make it any easier if it tried.

[@modvind]

Liarra Sniffles um yes. You can easily become overwhelmed in this game cuz of the combat system. It's not like Black Flag where you could instacounterkill + the guards will try to shoot you too so you can't just block them all the time

[@Xpzilla]

Liarra Sniffles Did u even play it? This is the first AC game in many years to have a challenging combat system again.

[@MrTrollland]

@@LiarraSniffles_X3 nothing could be further from the truth

[@uchophamxuan6515]

Only us see Napoleon is a short dude but in his time Napoleon can be considered as a normal person

[@M7S4I5L8V2A]

In ac2 they said the animus glitches sometimes that's why people speak French nobody has bothered to fix it I would have given a sin for the sage hunting from black flag cause they're replacing the pieces of Eden

[@Dartigan]

That is a pretty obvious asspull to me as to why the Animus sometimes doesn't bother translating. I haven't played Black Flag so I can't really mention anything from it.

[@M7S4I5L8V2A]

Dartigan also ac parkour is a little more versatile and like you said they through French in there when they please

[@puglife8041]

Apparently one of their excuses is that they translate the main characters because those people are the ones you're hearing most often. Meanwhile, the meaningless peasants that we're supposed to be helping but instead are completely ignoring and preferring yet another templar hunt because that didn't get old ages ago speak french. But everyone in AC2 had Italian accents, and everyone and AC4 had the right accents... I'm thinking they just couldn't find any good French voice actors, or at least any that they felt comfortable with giving the main character role.

[@LonelyAssassin1]

Love how you took away a sin for the badass "So Write" part XD

[@sunday1409]

napoleon isn't actually short

[@PrinceOfOriel]

Napoleon Bonaparte wasn't actually short. He was about average height. The reason everybody thinks he was short is because of political comics that depicted him as such.

[@phrophannus]

This thing of eating an apple, where is it began? I can't find it on google.

[@phrophannus]

And no, Napoleon wasn't short.

[@mattyanacek153]

Darude Sandstorm.

[@JoshBleeze]

AJ Miller-Borja its a screen writing technique, its comes from the apple from adam and eve in the bible... eating an apple represents doing the bad/evil thing

[@gyrox0031]

Dartigan at 12:00, Napoleon was 5'2'' in French units, which is equal to 5'6'' in standard units. So he was an average height for a man from that time period.

[@repinswatson6452]

If Marquis de Sade made an Assassins creed game it would have pornography, depicting sexual fantasies with an emphasis on violence, criminality and blasphemy against the Catholic Church. The words sadism and sadist are derived from his name literally. So yeah id love a video game made by him. It be interesting and new and fucked up. In all honesty I dbout anyone could make and then produce a product and sell them for a profit.

[@scovelme]

Repins Watson Except that GTA V exists.

[@gilbertblanquart8086]

Repins Watson Don't know if you already read Sade's books but it's not really about pornography and blasphemy, it's more about rapes and sadism. Sade was a mad guy with sexual frustration, and his books are not made for pleasure (normal pleasure i should say, cause describing the raping and torturing of a 14 yo girl is not something that really makes me horny...)

[@hunterlisle1171]

11:57 No, he was actually 5'2" which may seem short but remember those a re french units, so he was actually 5'7" an average height even today.

[@modvind]

The AngelofFire plus they were shooter back then

[@jacoblewis9339]

Am I the only one who would love to see an AC game set in ww2?

[@nobody2996]

Nope, I want that too!

[@jakestendel3961]

Nope it would be crap, there is rarely the use of guns in the games. I would like to see a game in feudal Japan

[@shikniwho7215]

or maybe a game when you are a Roman's assassin or something. An era that not make you too depend on gun & smoke bomb.

[@chasewygand2693]

I would actually like an assassins creed set in the civil war

[@cybrid37]

jake stenedle That would actually be a pretty good idea. I might even consider buying that Assassin's Creed game. After Desmond ended, the AC games just got stale for me. Playing as a ninja would be a nice change of pace from your usual generic hooded Englishmen.

[@rpm10g]

Man, you are the first person to do a gaming sins channel that actually counts sins properly.

[@king27625]

Also, what happened to the " now that desmond let the sun gods out they're going to burn the earth and we have to stop them" bit from AC 3 ? Or does none of that matter and making "Pirates of the Caribbean: Assassins Creed edition, and whatever the f&^k this game is about more important ? See, this is why I hate these games, you kill off your main protagonist, instead of making him and ,in affect,the activity outside the "matrix", the main plot, turn AC 4 into, "lets make a video game", and instead of moving forward in time you go backwards, because we(the player) care sooo much about who Hatham Kenways' father was, we needed a whole game devoted to him. I'm sorry but I reeeeally hated this series after AC 3.

[@Dartigan]

After the second game the original creator of the game was fired. His original idea was for third game to be set in preset day with Desmond trying to stop it, but Ubisoft decided to turn it into a yearly series.

[@sillybillybob123]

Black Flag was creative and awesome! Played ACII then ACIV, playing ACIII now and it's such a drag. This game surprisingly seems even more boring and butchered the present day gameplay. Not buying

[@JamieMoorehead]

Everyone has their opinion but i thought Assassins creed 3 was amazing

[@Anagh1701]

When it came to games before this one, most of the sins were those that a 13 year old with a history book could explain. But know, this I agree with you 200%

[@emilychertos5055]

Bellec is “French” Charles Vane...

[@xLanzer]

But ugly

[@asdfghjkl2317]

just one thing: it is said, as a legend, that Jacques de Molay actually cursed the king Philip IV of France and his descendants from his pyre, so it's not badwriting from Ubisoft, just coincindence (or somebody just made out the "13th generation of his blood" part after the French Revolution, but still it's not Ubisoft fault). love your videos btw, good job!

[@shplamana]

No bonus sins for game glitches? Oh well, skip Enslaved again and do Sleeping Dogs.

[@Dartigan]

I only encountered one glitch in my playthrough so I didn't get to sin the game for that as much as I had expected too.

[@shplamana]

Dartigan Did you play it with updates or did you try to day one the game?

[@Dartigan]

I played it several days after it had come out. I was working on Fahrenheit video when it launched. It was likely patched during that time.

[@shplamana]

Dartigan Damn, you missed all the interesting parts then!

[@prueensgloria4743]

Is it bad that I read Dartigan's comments in his accent?

[@fearturkey2915]

I have enjoyed watching your Game Sins Everything wrong with series. Subbed.

[@thnkng]

Napoleon Wasn't Short

[@jtotheroc]

Marquis de Sade was fucking hilarious in this game.

[@Xpzilla]

This game was actually amazing once it was fixed

[@DFxiDemon]

12:00 napoleon wasn't short, the british said he was the "short/little" man from France as an insult

[@connorvincent6287]

Everything wrong with ACU: Everything

[@gorillazsan]

11:58 If anything, this is something Ubisoft got right. Napoleon Bonaparte was really 5'6''. The myth he was short was caused by his enemies trying to make seem weaker, like how high school girls spread rumors to discredit others.

[@alaslawi]

Is that naked guy in jail who later is writing funny filthy stuff supposed to be a knockoff of the Marquis de Sade? Lol

[@Sours56]

Like +chowderheadify said, Napoleon was average height for men his age back in the time he lived. He was 5'3. The bodyguards he hung out with, though, were super tall, making him feel short. A Napoleon Complex is when someone feels like they need to overcompensate for something to distract everyone from a shortcoming (or something along those lines). #TheMoreYouKnow

[@Dorlan_Kao_u]

please do sleeping dogs or watch dogs

[@deathtokaname7053]

CinemaSins!!!

[@jackfables3470]

11:57 It is a pretty well-known fact that Napoleon was not short, compared to other people, at that time.

[@rankosavkovic1687]

In Far Cry 4 it's your mother so...yeah.. xD

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

So it becomes a Disney film? XD

[@TheRighteousFist]

Sin #17 isn't actually a sin. In Assassin's Creed 2, Rebecca explains that whenever you hear native-language words spoken in the middle of the English translations, it's a glitch in the Animus systems that it's programmers have yet to work out.
