I made this video a month ago before shadows was announced. Figured I'd upload it now haha.

[@dawudabdulali3827]

This isn't really a hot take, but the missed potential the kenway fam had is insane, like maby in a assassin's creed black flag sequal, we coudve seen the rest if edwards life, all the way until is sad death, have it where he sacrificed his life so the assassin's in London can escape, and adewale and Edwards crew, yes the same crew that was with Edward for all those years as pirates, they are very loyal to Edward, because he saved their lives he treated them well, so after Edward is killed, and haythem Jennifer, and haythems mother us captured, adewale is able to save Jennifer and haythems mother, but haythem is taken by the tenplars, and then adewale makes a funeral for Edward in great inagua and every assassin's Edward helped during the tenplaraa hunts, and ah tubai and pretty much the whole brotherhood of the Caribbean and London, and after the funeral ends Jennifer asks adewale if he can train her to become an assassin and save her brother, he refuses at first but he relectcly says yes, and Jennifer becomes an assassin, and what happened to the jackdaw you may ask well it's saftly kept on great inagua. So yeah U have way more to this but I wanted ti keep it short for this comment, what do you think of it ?

[@Kaino-wo3vc]

​@@EmperorDxDI'd say both of you people's takes are true, it is definitely obvious that Ac2 was also made to appeal the broader market, and that's because of the backlash of ac1, let's just say that at the launch of ac1, a lot of people disliked it more in terms of reviews rather than positives.

[@BrokenVeil1020]

That really didn't happen until Black Flag.

[@BrokenVeil1020]

@@RJ-stills AC2 was essentially a revenge story. Heroism didn't become a central motif until Brotherhood. That said, a more nuanced take of Templar thought and actions was evident in the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC, and notably resurfaced with AC3 and later Rogue. BF was really the true starting point of ACs broadening commercialization though. It was even somewhat of a spoof with Abstergo Entertainment making it all a marketable game.. within the game.

Not sure how hot of a take this is as I don't interact a lot with the AC community, but I've heard a lot that Unity has the best parkour in the series and I just can't really seem to agree. It looks cool, sure, but it feels strangely automated. I feel like parkour in that game goes for style over substance, and while it's great for the first few hours, it kinda becomes boring when you realize you don't really have a lot of input in all of the cool things the screen is showing you.

[@Kaino-wo3vc]

That's a very very valid point I'd say and that being a hot take? Yeah it kind of is now since Unity can be over appreciated nowadays cause of well with that you said, it has a lot of style.

[@matthewkendrick8280]

In unity all you’ve got in your toolkit is the side hop. It doesn’t work half the time. In the older games though everything was fast paced if you planned your route, and you DID have to plan your route or you weren’t going to get anything smooth.

[@Rakeshgupta-iy7lm]

[@randomaussie8498]

Honestly in all the many, many times i've replayed Brotherhood, I've never taken damage in the tank, never been an issue. In fact I'd have to actively try to get damaged in it, its definitely one of the easier 100% sync requirements.

[@darkvortex2410]

I got 3 hot takes. • Assassin's Creed Syndicate should have had only one protagonist, specifically Evie. I find her more interesting. Have her be a bit like Jacob: hotheaded and a bit of a maverick because of her grief from losing her father. Over the story her ways catch-up with her and she learns from it. • Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Valhalla could have been a new series of RPG games in historical settings. Take out what little their was of the Assassin's/Templars. • Desmond's son should have been the next protagonist. I'd be interesting to see how he feels about his dad. How does Desmond's team react to learning about him same with William. See him struggling with his sage identity and his own personal identity. Similar to Subject 16 with his scrambled identities.

[@GG22n]

Fun fact: Evie added to the game by Sweet Baby inc for diversity.

[@bradle4162]

My hot take is that it's a mistake to have an Assassin's Creed be set in Japan - especially during the Feudal period. AC games have historically been set in areas of history that are rather unexplored in video games - though I'd argue that Black Flag was an exception. I can't say I've played a game set in the Italian Renaissance, Ottoman Istanbul, the French Revolution or Victorian England. But I can say I've played games set in Japan with ninjas and samurai with Ghost of Tsushima and Total War: Shogun 2. AC settings in unusual places always gave each game a unique feeling.

[@funbrowser2086]

Hot take: Basim could be the next best character after Edward if he didn't show up in Valhalla

[@dustinpahel5950]

Regarding the statement that AC wasn’t a stealth game before Unity because of no crouch button. Sure there wasn’t a designated button, however from AC3-Rogue, there were stalking zones, where the character automatically crouch walked if you weren’t using the high profile button. Also in AC 2-Revelations if you hold in the high profile button and hold in the jump button, while remaining still, the character would crouch in place. I used the tactic a lot during stealth missions to remain out of sight while being close to a guards patrolling route. I would wait for the guard to pass, the quickly let go of the high profile button first, then let go of the jump button. This will cancel the characters jump, so they just stand up.

[@mathiasm64]

Hot take: Assassin's Creed Rogue has one of the best settings in Assassin's Creed

[@Sebbir]

My hot take is that the carriages from Syndicate would have worked great in AC3. AC3 already has super open streets and if you brought it into the frontier you could use it to live out your inner highwayman. Hijacking others carriages or using the carriage to block a convoy

[@WideOldDan]

AC stealth is social stealth. Crouching is ok to have but that isn't what the stealth should be based around, just an extra option. It really just makes AC less special, blend into the crowd. BTW there was always crouching in AC

[@gandalfsslave1202]

There are few things in life that stir up a tempest of emotions within me, and the game Odyssey sits atop that list. It’s not just a fleeting distaste or a momentary dislike; it’s a profound loathing that courses through my veins. The mere mention of Odyssey sends a shiver down my spine, as I recall the countless times it has cast a shadow over my days. On several occasions, Odyssey has been the architect of my dismay, transforming what could have been a day filled with joy into a series of frustrating moments that leave me feeling utterly defeated. It’s as if the game holds a dark power over my mental state, plunging it into the depths of despair, akin to a shipwreck lost in the unfathomable abyss of the ocean. My opinions on other matters may waver like leaves in the wind, but when it comes to Odyssey, my stance is as solid as a centuries-old oak. The game’s existence alone is enough to evoke a wellspring of emotions, and there have been instances where I’ve found myself on the brink of tears, overwhelmed by the sheer impact it has had on my life It’s a curious thing, really, how a mere game can hold such sway over one’s emotions

I'd like to offer my own hot take: While Black Flag is one of, if not the best game in the series so far, the villains in Black Flag are catastrophically underwhelming. They fail to deliver an imposing first impression, we barely see half of them until we're assassinating them, and they got far too little screentime to be fleshed out, do villain stuff, or have any real depth, with the exception of Woodes Rogers and MAYBE Black Bart.

No matter where he is, be it just the city of Havana or, like, the guarded villa in Kingston, he will just menicangly walk around upright. Idk why seeing Edward just walk after hiding, instead of crouch was making me so crack up, but I just always had to laugh when I was changing bushes silently, because f-ing Edward was just straight up walking from bush to bush like he was just trying to get his mail and not like he was hiding from guards.

[@WardragonLog101]

NEVER! Forget what Ubisoft Has taken from us: Desmond Miles. Built to be the Ultimate Assassin with the history, training and experience of: Altair - Ezio - Haytham - Connor. Desmond was originally going to be sent back in time someway, possibly involving the animus bleeding effect. He would have started the Brotherhood at the beginning of man. (There is where we would have games like Odyssey or Valhalla type but with Desmond) Ubisoft has continued this in a different way and now got rid of Layla, probably cause nobody wanted her, and gave us Basim/Loki Basim is the reverse Desmond. Basim came FROM the past to the future.

U ain’t lying it just look so cool and make the character look mysterious

[@sammokler9678]

Hey bro love the vid thanks for putting my hot take in it what i meant to say is how come they couldn't air assassinate before altair

[@musicalDrebin]

here's my hot take, though not too hot Desmond isn't annoying. you're just too impatient to get back to the game

[@crafter7jake874]

I thought him annoying but that’s because I didn’t find the story that interesting and that was mostly because I played the games out of order. But you have to agree that if you replay the games it is very annoying, especially in ac 3

[@musicalDrebin]

@@crafter7jake874 sorry, but i played them in order, and i frequently hopped out of the animus several times to talk to the characters and read the emails, and i love the guy, and his crew. and in context all of his complaints are reasonable. but more often than not he's completely on board and is a total team player

[@smokingmeteor]

No he was just annoying hearing him bitch through the plot and exposition

[@ak-nt2tr]

​@@musicalDrebinI played them in order but I still found Desmond and all of the modern stuff annoying.

[@musicalDrebin]

@@ak-nt2tr it too late. my hot has spoken and it cannot be undone. your fate has now long since been written. you have been deemed to be wrong, and so it is!

[@Lilbro2.3]

Love this channel keep up the good work you deserve it all

[@MatsuSenpaii]

You might not find this comment, But my hot take is: Assassin Recruits is one of the best feature to ever appear in AC games and it (or variation of it at least) should've appeared in AC4 and AC Rogue too With AC4 having Pirate / Assassin Recruits And AC Rogue having Templar Recruits

[@chesterjames70]

For when you make a second video on hot takes: Hot take: Between Kassandra and Alexios being the main character for odyssey: Alexios sounds better and fits the character/model better. Hot take: Between Kassanadra and Alexios being the better Deimos for odyssey: Alexios sounds better and fits the character/model better. Kassandra just sounds and looks weird being Deimos. Hot take: Odyssey should have been 2 brothers with Alexios being the older main character and the younger being Deimos.

[@sebastianherrera6514]

Hoy take: we dont need a AC 1 Remake, we need a Remaster to be ported to current day consoles. Similar to the Yakuza Remastered collection, were the main changes that were made were bug fixes and slightly cleaner graphics.

[@ak-nt2tr]

I bought all the ports to PS4 and Switch but seeing as I haven't replayed them, I am not touching AC1 unless its a remake. I can't stand the controls pre black flag anymore.

[@graves5091]

Hot Take: Valhalla and Odyssey would have been successful if they we're titled "AC Universe Valhalla/Odyssey" Like they're just introduced as games in the same universe and not doesn't actually involve assassin's much.

[@timoplays478]

Both OD/Val are very successful in terms of sales, if your talking fan reception then I agree

[@anthonysmurthwaite6258]

Odyssey and Valhalla were massively successful financially, Valhalla made over $1 Billion, if they were called AC Universe they'd likely have made significant less because casualfans that make up the vast majority of players are more likely to buy a game if it has a more easily recognisable and memorable title, I know hardcore AC fans are very critical of those games but because of that they generally underestimate the significance of them for Ubisoft

[@graves5091]

@@timoplays478 oh yeah, in terms of sale, I can't argue with the numbers, I do mean Fan reception, thanks dude.

[@jbcatz5]

The Isu side is heavily entwined in with the Assassin and Templar conflict. They both seek Pieces of Eden, Isu devices, and Juno as well as Minerva to a lesser extend play a big part in the modern day for the Desmond games as Minerva was the first Precursor we meet and Juno still plays a role in the modern day up to Syndicate even if it is more a reduced one. Sages, a plot point for Valhalla in the Animus (Eivor being first playable Sage in the series) and the present day, were introduced in Black Flag as well as being a macguffin in Unity. So Isu is just as much a part of the Assassin’s Creed identity as the Creed itself.

[@randomblogs99]

​@@jbcatz5 I agree with this guy. I've said for a while now that the Odyssey and Valhalla would not be the same without the isu stuff.

[@Skyrim_Thalia]

my hot take is that assassins creed outside of their franchise are all ethier good or mediocre i love ac but i wouldent call any of them masterpieces when compared to games outside of there franchise because you could argue that ac 4 is amasterpice when compared to other ac games but there all thrown out yearly and they miss that passion that games like baldurs gate batman arkham have

[@Mr.Hands420]

Thx for putting my hot take luv ya

[@TheHiddenOne690]

no problem ezio lover

[@nativejabroni1555]

Hot Take - Unity was so close to being the best AC game ever, I think the story let it down a little, if it was better and more structured then sure it may be

[@thangngudxop]

A Hot-Take from Huber (Easy Allies): Every Assassin's Creed Protagonists at their absolute worst... is Good. And at best, they're absolutely ***** LEGENDARY🔥🥰🙌

[@Unknown_Gaming504]

Liking Assassin's Creed Origins is a hot take because it takes place in a desert.

[@Kuvantor]

Odyssey would've been better if Alexios was both the mercenary and Deimos. A sort of twins story. The game doesn't take itself that seriously most of the time, so his funny tone fits better for main character, while also looking more menacing as Deimos.

[@trenaceandblackmetal5621]

Kassandra makes a better Deimos

[@themotherfer9903]

I don't know if this a hot take but bayeks wife was pretty annoying and when playing as her killed the pace of origins

[@Grandtemplar305]

I never liked her she never wanted to talk about they son to back an everytime he brings up his name she will cut him off or switch the subject

[@themotherfer9903]

@jojocasimir1118 yea what really grinds my gears is that she's remembered for starting the assassin's and Bayek did way more than she ever did but for some odd reason she gets a statue in villa auditor

[@Grandtemplar305]

@@themotherfer9903 yea I hate that part to but bayek didn’t want to be remember at all which I kinda understand now but I’m gladly they chose bayek as the main protagonist then her

[@chito7471]

Ac rogue is one of the best stories in the series

[@BillionFrames88]

So mine is a bit odd but that’s why it’s a hot take I prefer the climbing and parkour in AC revaluation over unity

[@michaelal-jiboori5895]

Hot take. Parkour needs to be much better and faster. There’s a new game called rooftops and alleys. AC should be as fast as that. We’ve never had a truly fast and speedy assasin with crazy parkour skills, tricks, and flips. Combine that with cool assassinations and we have gold.

[@Grandtemplar305]

I wish the character will move like talion in shadow of war but a man can dream

[@HahahMamaman]

That’s not a hot take. Everyone agrees

[@michaelal-jiboori5895]

@@Grandtemplar305 yea. Or just speed up all animations by 15-25% we are masters after all

[@michaelal-jiboori5895]

@@HahahMamaman glad we all agree haha

[@WideOldDan]

I don't want flips and tricks in AC. If there was an option to turn them off then that's fine. An Assassin should be all business, in my opinion. Even Arnos little flashy moves get on my nerves.
