When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment. Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia. Forever yours, Ezio Auditore.

Back in the day I would come home after school, do my homework as fast as i could so that i could play ac2 till mom says to go to bed. That was such a light time, when i didn't have any worries about my future and didn't think much of a past. That was time when i still was living with my parents and uncle would come almost every evening and give me ice cream phphph even tho mom didn't like it at all. Now im university student away from home (becuz of quarantine haven't seen my family in a year). I'm really struggling with my studying and very anxious about my exams and basically about future. I just came here to remind myself of that carefree feeling and i almost feel like home now. I really want to play ac2 again but i'm afraid i'll just get so nostalgic and sad i won't be able to leave my room for days :D. But that's fine, i'll grand myself a permission to play if i finish this semester. Good luck to me and to all of u, who've read my little story. Stay strong guys.

[@Pond721]

When my family and I went to Italy in 2017 I was basically in charge of where we went. I insisted on visiting Florence and Rome. I went to the bridge from the start of AC2 where Ezio had a fight, I visited The Cathedral of Santa Maria, I went to Castello Sant'Angelo, the Pantheon and the Colosseum. I was in the square where Ezio's family were executed. It was really surreal and pretty cool. Basically living in my favourite game I first played at 11 years old.

[@alfistibrasiliani]

yeah me too, Florence is amazing, the cathedral is the most beautiful church I've ever seen in my life. A true art masterpiece. But one medieval village that impressed me a lot was visiting San Gimignano in Toscana region...oh man...all these middle ages towers, the well, everything felt so beautiful. And I even kind of searched for a secret/hidden entrance that was present in the game haha... to get lost in some of the narrow streets was an unforgetable experience! Being at Rome in that round castle too! The game did such a good job in the architectural accuracy.

I remember the first time watching the presentation of the first AC, they were talking on how the main protagonist (Altair) climbs on the side of buildings, how he grabs every ledge, crevices he can find, how the animations were so fluid. How he walks between civilians so smoothly and goes unnoticed. The era of when PS3’s and X360’s were considered next gen. Games were original back then. The magic will never be the same.

[@trevorveillette8415]

Nonsense. Every generation has its amazing gems. Think of it, for AC's success, how many bad and un-noteworthy games came out around its time? Plenty. It's just the way it is, the gems stand out and define our earlier times gaming, then we get a bit older and we look back at our old games fondly and don't notice the standout games beside us being released today. Of you were to ask me, I'd say the greatest game ever made came out in 2017. A game called NieR:Automata. I'd been playing games since I was 3, I've enjoyed them. But it wasn't until NieR:Automata that I found a game, or just something in general that I can say that I love with all my heart. I grew up playing games, I lived and breathed video games in my life. But it wasn't until I was a sophomore in highschool that I truly fell in love with a game and what games could be. So on that note, amazing games are released all the time. Some of them you just have to walk through the mud to get to.

For sure you never tried god of war or Halo music. It's not an assumption it's a judgement. This is one super close to that level BTW, right there with the Ezio theme from odyssy.

Jesper Kyd you can be proud of yourself, your music is being played by classical profesionalists :)

[@WDRKlassik]

Hi, Da`Man! Actually this orchestra is more like professional allrounders - yes, they're all classically trained, but also enjoy playing video game music, rap or electro crossover projects or swing! That's the beauty of this radio ensemble - they get to perform so many different styles of music each season. But we DO have a soft spot for gaming music and are happy to have another concert upcoming in January.

[@Garry_Combine]

​@@WDRKlassik gaming music isn't far removed from film scoring which isn't far removed from classical though, so it's really not that far removed as rap or swing, but the diversity in music is why I like your radio ensemble, though nothing wrong with having a soft spot either.

[@talmagetaylor5226]

The passion put into this is clear on each one of their faces. Music tells a story. The reason we need music in tv or in games is because it conveys emotion which cant be seen or shown in any other way. You can tell when people love something cause the soundtrack hits you right in the heart, like with Assasins Creed. And you can tell when something is sloppily handled or made for money cause the soundtrack is either lazy or nonexistent (Ahem. Kenobi unfortunately) This score is one of my favorite pieces of all time
