[@liamselle1990]

"In a world without gold we might a been heroes" absolutely love that line

[@vii9779]

Still one of my favorite quotes

[@ATFprdepartment]

My favorite was easily “as bold as a musket ball, and yet only half as sharp” like wow WHAT an insult

[@thatguyfromthe80s17]

That is a very true line .....

[@Puppy_Puppington]

@@ATFprdepartmentas half as sharp as a sphere? Because the spherical shape penetrates as is. And I think it even deforms a decent amount into idek what shape when getting shot out and flying as is as well lol.

[@ATFprdepartment]

@@Puppy_Puppington that’s the joke, a ball isn’t sharp, it’s completely smooth. As for deformation, the joke isn’t supposed to be that deep, but since you’re wondering I’m going to go on an autistic tirade about musket balls Musket balls are spherical, yes. However muskets are smooth bore, no rifling (RIFLES have rifling, it’s a small difference but a significant one). Although there’s no rifling or grooves to deform the ball that way, a musket ball is typically VERY slightly larger than the diameter of the rifle (it’s lead, so it squishes in there with the ramrod very easily), this is to make sure the ball doesn’t fall out the end like a golf ball in a Pringle’s can and to provide a better seal when the powder ignites in the barrel during firing. So there’s plenty of deforming of musket balls even before they’re fired due to their size and being made of lead, which is a pretty damn brittle material. If you’re any more interested in what a musket ball does after being fired or when hitting a person, GarandThumb made a fantastic video analyzing it

[@reddeaddude2187]

I love how this game incorporates it's protagonist into the historical setting in a plausible way. The Jackdaw for instance was a brig stolen from the doomed Spanish Treasure Fleet of 1715, considering the whole convoy was lost it's very possible that some escaped prisoners jacked one of the ships, we can never know either way. The pirate genre is so underutilized in gaming that this was a massive breath of fresh air. The vibrant Caribbean open world was a pleasure to explore, captaining my own ship never gets old, the characters were charismatic and very human, the story was and is amazing. Now I need to play through this game again.

[@MoGumbo_]

i was reading into black beards story, even the way he was killed was very accurate in the game, each strike and the ending decapitation was how it was said to happen in real life

[@darthrevan-]

​@MoGumbo_ from what I read he was shot 5 times and slashed and stabbed over 20 times before being decapitated which is pretty impressive and I also read he was a big guy at 6"4

[@GameCastingMedia]

The way you describe the modern day as if you’re an oblivious player/ character is brilliant. Really made me feel a different way about the modern day of black flag.

[@ThePatientWolf]

That was fun to do 😂

[@r3petiti0n29]

Bro turned AC4 from a intense game about plundering the seas for gold and becoming an assassin into a history documentary. I BET if this was on a history channel at 12am anyone watching wouldn't know the difference

[@dkdoesgaming989]

For real and he rocked it.

[@brandonfrancis1941]

Bro I fell asleep watching other stuff entirely. Wake to this on and I have a wave of nostalgia thinking I'm 8 again up after watching history channel all night. lol

[@Hawkcam1996]

Honestly, the entire reason I got into this franchise is because my 9th grade history teacher recommended it, because when you remove the templar and assassin stuff, it’s actually pretty accurate, at least compared to other history entertainment.

[@dumitriman]

Ubisoft did

[@FecklessandKekless]

This is unironically better than a lot of stuff on the history channel anyway. I swear, all of us have a predisposition to piracy and war. My proof? I like black flag and metal gear A LOT

[@jackbright7367]

It continues to baffle me how little attention these videos get considering how well made they are, either way, this was a brilliant video to watch

[@ThePatientWolf]

Glad you caught it. spread the word if you're able. 🙏

[@ExcellenceofExecution349]

Gotta appreciate this man’s hard work

[@relientkgeek]

It’s amazing to see you level up with every video. The way you bring these cluttered and clunky but often beautiful stories to life is a work of art. Can’t wait for AC Rogue!

[@ThePatientWolf]

Working hard. thanks for watching!

[@MagicofAramis]

So, several years ago, I played Black Flag. I made it all the way to the events at 1:20:00 in this video, then my game crashed and my save file was wiped clean for unknown reasons. As a result, I can say that while this is one of the most enjoyable Assassin's Creed games to play, It is also the only one I will probably never finish.

[@AverageReynaMainn]

ME TOO, i was so sad i played the whole thing again but it happened again when i was fighting a legendary ship, then i kinda gave up on it, really gave me chills watching this vid

[@felipeangel3267]

I love that even when some people suggested that your videos were way too long, you kept creating way too long videos, which for me, is great. I think about it just like when the producer of an artist tells him that he needs to create his music under certain standards, lenght and including specific sounds so the songs can be played in the radio for having a pop structure which will guarantee success. I really admire those musicians who are loyal to their own music and keep doing 6+ minutes songs, trying new and different sounds, rythms and instruments regardless what could bring them more money, listeners or success. Editing, recording, and writting in order to create your videos is a hard work. It is an art work for me, and you are a great artist. Thank you for creating the best video game documentaries on the internet. You are a great story teller

[@ThePatientWolf]

You've got to do you sometimes! 🙏

[@justice3253]

Discovered you recently while recovering from a back injury, these story videos and your lets plays have been a great distraction, thank you! Great video as always

[@ThePatientWolf]

Pleasure!

[@shadowkickftw3513]

I really hope you cover Freedom Cry, and that that’s what you mean by “to be continued”. My favorite story to tell about playing this game is the fight with Roberts. I’m reality, he had been killed by a chain shot. Not knowing this at the time, I actually killed him with a chain shot the first time I played it. The game transported me to the cutscene that plays after, without me having to board the ship. I’ve never been able to replicate the act, as it seems I managed to hit a high wave just right in order to shoot him.

[@ThePatientWolf]

On it!

[@shiykyk7538]

I cant say how much I love these long lore videos about AC

[@peterversionone]

I just find it so ironic that Edward Kenway became an assassin by killing an assassin defecting to the Templars, and his son becomes grand master of the Templars and his grandson became an assassin who was open to working with the Templars, but that failed. The Kenway name is just as interesting as the name De-Auditore

[@riko9911x]

My favorite ever game and by faaar my favorite protagonist ever written as far as videogames go. You have done a hell of a work with this one. Keep it up you mate

[@ascredit69]

the ``corporate tour`` at the start killed me

[@ThePatientWolf]

That was fun to put together... have you watched Freedom Cry? go check it out!

[@AtomicAus]

Masterful storytelling my friend, although I have played this story through many times, and regard Edward as one of my all time favourite characters, you pulled me in and kept me for the entire tale. Great work.

[@nicolen3na]

Cleared this game 9 times over. Each playthrough trying to obtain all chests and fragments. Gotta say, your retelling of the story since your AC1 summary has been very very excellent. Love these vids and keep up the good work!

[@ivanov4999]

Yeah, I don't know what it is with AC4, but I can't play this without 100%ing it, too. Everything about Black Flag just feels so right. After Rogue, I started playing Unity, but the mechanics just didn't click, so I dropped the series. Yet due to the sale, I'm 50h into Valhalla now, and 100%ing it is impossible. You'd have to unemployed - Christmas season holidays won't do. AC4 was perfect in terms of quantity.

[@mr.deenamiq]

I've finished this game at least 2 times and know the story. Yet the way you present it here is very entertaining. Really love how you spliced together different parts of gameplay and cut scenes to tell the story.

[@harperthejay]

I just finished Black Flag for the first time literally hours ago. I was surprised to find that I teared up twice during the last few sequences. I absolutely loved the story, and I'm excited to see how you weave the 30ish hours of gameplay I just finished into a beautiful 1:30:46 movie.

[@DomagojSavordh]

My favorite AC game. Many people (including me) before playing it can ask how hard AC fan can say Black Flag is his fav with such unortodox thematics, but it really has everything.

[@Matt_Underwood]

Honestly, after Ezio's story was over, I couldn't really get back into the story of Assassins Creed, but after Black Flag and Odyssey, I started to appreciate the franchise again, and remembered how good the games were and how confusing yet fun the story can be

[@jamesongorman8531]

i love the corny corporate commercial music during your segment introducing the abstergo building

[@writingmetal]

Absolutely fantastic work. I've been playing this game but didn't pay attention at some parts of the story. This couldn't be more perfect!

[@sabashukvani]

Amazing storytelling! Assassin’s Creed is one of the best gaming series ever developed.

[@jibran143]

My experience of the game is enhanced by a thousand after watching this video. These deep dives into the stories of the AC games as soon as I've finished the games makes me love the franchise more and more, thanks to you. I hope you will continue making these detailed videos. Take my gratitude.

Glad you take the time to enjoy.

I played through this game at 15 I just replayed it at 21 and I’ll see it through again when I’m 30. Amazing story and beautiful game.

[@mundo00]

'no longer a jackdaw, now an eagle' 🔥

[@Jacksonmoonstar1714]

When that sea shanty played halfway through the video I honestly got goosebumps lol something about a large group of people singing a shanty just makes me so happy lol

[@MoudBarthez1]

You are a Great storyteller! thanks a lot for making these videos! love the series, keep going!

[@ThePatientWolf]

Thank you so much!

[@pianounitedfcofficial]

The whole Aita part went over my head! I completely forgot about that from the previous game and just ignored it when Roberts said it, thought he was just hearing voices and acting crazy, although I do think the game should have emphasized Aita's significance more, this explains that entirely thank you for these videos they really explain all those little details, now the modern day story line makes a tad bit more sense,

[@ThePatientWolf]

It's a tough narrative to follow. Uni don't tell stories too well. Even though they think up great one!

[@ikasasagi]

I love love love these story retelling videos you’re doing! I wouldn’t probably have had the patience to play this game in its entirety but i want to know how the story continues, and your format is so pleasant and insightful. Thank you so much for sharing this work

One of the best games ever made and even better storytelling!!! Kudos to the maker!

This was absolutely fantastic mate...watched the complete thing in now sitting.

[@TheDisengaged]

Incredible job as always. This is still my favorite AC game play, even though I find the story and amibitions of Edward hard to follow at times. However, they way you make all these parts connect makes it so much better so I might just finish the game I started when you started your story playthrough here (really wish we could've followed that to conclusion also). Keep it up!

[@ThePatientWolf]

😔 sorry.

[@MarioTainaka]

Another banger! this is the best recap out there. You've given a bunch of info I never even knew.

Love the videos, glad this one is finally out. It's the only AC game i couldn't finish. Ship combat really wasn't for me, Rogue fixed a lot of my issues

[@zimtschatten1997]

[@abdoomar-jx9pm]

i really love this channel fr. gotta appreciate the hard work done in these videos

[@thecowboy9698]

I always thought that Edward walking around in a hooded coat would probably make him look quite conspicuous, considering the time-period and location in which he lived.

[@cjsyblik3296]

Honestly you should just write the novelzations for these games. I like the touches of inner monologues you give Edward

[@Fehorder]

To quote Akihiko "IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!"

[@ThePatientWolf]

Hope it was worth the wait.

Currently playing the AC Birth Of A New World pack… having a great time.

[@BurBurGerHamCotCotCybercotleta]

Bart and Micah are so similar, yet see living differently One is a dreamer of a short life, inexistent, due to him being an immortal sage, one is a self proclaimed "survivor"

[@BurBurGerHamCotCotCybercotleta]

AC4 is a pirate game with a human story at its core, we all want to live a free life & find our fortune but sometimes we lose sight of why we do we what do & have to find our purpose to move forward. I can honestly this one of my favorite games.

[@BOUDEBBANEHalim]

Bc of my financial state and my country of residence i just played ac3 and was curious what happens next, i fucking regret watching this bc the story and the game atmosphère is so unique i wish i experienced it.
