For one, not only is the music and soundtrack gorgeous, but it fits in sooo well within the game's setting and atmosphere that I still to this day get goosebumps listening to it. Two, there's such an Ora of homeliness and history, (and yes I know all the games are historical) but this one just feels so real and like what the renaissance would actually be like that this game will always hold a deep place in my heart.
I think the most overlooked AC game is Brotherhood. That game was phenomenal. It took all of the best pieces of AC 2, added horseback riding, added a ton of more content, and added an intricate system where you could train your own assassins, AND YOU COULD EVEN HAVE THEM ASSASSINATE WHOEVER YOU WANTED. On top of that, it introduced one of the most unique multiplayer modes ever seen. Brotherhood was one of the most enjoyable and complete games I've ever played.
how is it overlooked? Most of people I've known own only brotherhood out of all AC games.
True Brotherhood was my first AC game
TRUEEEEE, Everyone is talking about AC2. I can definitely relate and call it best game in the franchise, but for me brotherhood was by far the one I put more time into playing and have more memories of having endless fun in rome! Honestly I would love to see such a video for brotherhood but no one is up for it😓
You could ride on horses in ac2, even ac1 though
Nowadays brotherhood is the most overrated game seemingly everyone says its his favourite now
AC2 is one of my favorite games of all time.
"Unity had bland environments" bro did you even play Unity? Its one of the most detailed open worlds ever made
With a boring story and protagonist who tries so hard to be ezio like but ends up being an emo assassin.He has some moments for sure but much of the games story and characters are so forgetable and the narrative feels really rushed just throwing plot points left and right.Gameplay wise is fine but the open world is tarnished by the modern ubisoft world design filled with so many pointless side stuff and collectibles rather than interesting quests which can immerse you into an actually fascinating historical period an no beautiful textures and lighting for the time,even though they still hold up somewhat decently,does not equate to a detailed open world P.S No hard feelings just my opinion😀
lmao no
03:30 - Are you really saying that the french revolution is not a fitting scenario for an AC-game? Srsly? It was the first setting I wanted to experience when I was finished with AC2!
Yeah I didn't really understand why he said that, I love that era. On the other hand unity (assuming you mean unity) is a really bad game in my personal opinion.
@@izaakgonzalez7247 I did mean Unity of course. And I love Unity. Its my favourite AC.
@@Marquis-Sade No hate but, could you explain how?. K absolutely love the customization but I hate the climbing. It's wonky and all over the place while I also dislike most characters as they don't really seem to grow. I do on the other hand really enjoy the main character because he reminds me of ezio a little.
@@izaakgonzalez7247 I am glad you asked. Be prepared, its gona be a longer comment: I just liked the gameplay. The combat system was finally challenging again, like in the first part. I found AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations as well as the 3rd and 4th and Rogue way too easy. Button smashing was all it took to destroy entire armies. In Unity, you were really encouraged to sneak around and stay out of sight, as 4-5 enemies was a real problem. I also liked the high number of different weapons and finishers you had. I also liked that you enjoyed quite a bit of freedom in how you eliminated the targets. There were several ways to gain access to the target's location. The good thing was that you could only use these possibilities, but never had to. You always had a free choice. Even when it came to gathering information. You could sneak up on witnesses undetected, but unlike in AC4, the mission wasn't over when you were discovered. Instead, the mission then became a race. If you lost sight of the person, the mission was still not over, but you could use the eagle vision to track them down. I thought that was awesome, because I hated how previous titles forced you to play a certain way. I also liked that quite a few buildings were accessible. I found the climbing to be very enjoyable and cool to watch. I would also like to highlight the detective side missions. These murder-mysteries. And I really liked the armor customization, which brought various comprehensible bonuses. For example, a certain belt had more capacity for smoke bombs, a pair of shoes made sneaking more effective, a cape made it harder for guards to be spotted. Feel free to ask me more specifics if you think of anything, but that's about it.
@@Marquis-Sade You know you make some fair points and I suppose I never really thought about those parts of the game
Ezio's Family is one of my favourite pieces of music, and it (or a variant of it) has been used in every AC game since AC 2. Not just syndicate.
I wish someone would make a video about AC Rogue. People overlooked that game for all the wrong reasons. It had a short but compelling story. And Shay was unique in a lot of ways. More importantly it showed how the Assassin's weren't always "good" and the Templars weren't always "evil". I think it deserves a sequel. But that is not going to happen since people are too quick to judge it negatively for reasons such as you now being a Templar and killing Assassin's, and how it has the same naval combat and mechanics ac AC4. I think that if they used the good aspects of Rogue, then we would maybe get a new masterpiece, MAYBE. But those are just my thoughts.
LionofDawn We were actually planning to make a video regarding Rogue, we totally agree with the fact that it was overlooked. Shay is one of the best characters in the AC franchise in our opinion and he definitely deserves more attention!
***** Awesome. Please do!
LionofDawn I feel exactly the same way. It's a shame how little attention it received.
Too many goddamn mothafockin colletctibles,too similar tp AC 4,and also,huge fuckin world filled with crap,like maybe double the size of AC4 with no memorable places or designs,you know like this youtuber mentions in this game
Finally your wish has been fullfilled,checkout this video by whitelight... kzhead.info/sun/pZGshtxla6yphZE/bejne.html
The real reason AC2 was better than AC1 was all down to one thing! Swimming!
But 1 also good its startup of All series.
Honestly probably my favorite game of all time. I still remember getting stuck on that beginning race between you and your brother. Loved the music and characters
Assassin's creed 2 is the best game i ever seen, and the day when i play this game first time was 3 June 2019. I completed this game 2 time and i am going to complete this game third time. i really like this game this is a masterpiece. THANK YOU ubisoft for this game ❤️❤️❤️❤️
wow! 10 years after to hear such thing, wow. happy for you mate. i remember those times i played it and wow. but don't thank ubisoft, they really don't deserve it. thank the developers and the especially the key ones like patrice desilets , jesper kyd, etc,etc.
3:57 I couldn't disagree more with Unity. The parkour was fluid and required more imput, making it more engaging. The packed city worked well as it meant that ising parkour was always the most efficient way.
This really shows that videos games are not just a bunch of fast-food figures about killing and destroying made for instant pleasure. If people listen to the soundtracks in Assassin's Creed game franchise, they'll feel the emotions the game delivers. Not to mention how AC 1& 2 recreated the ancient architectures so well with such strong atmosphere.
I was never overly annoyed about how overpowered Ezio was in Brotherhood and Revelations because I had played through AC2, and experienced many occasions when Ezio was not overpowered and really saw a growth in his skills and the kind of person he is and what he's capable of overall. So when I got up on those walls to defend Monteriggioni and was just tearing through soldiers, I didn't feel unnecessarily overpowered, I felt like I'd earned it. My favourite character of Assassins Creed is Ezio, and he's my favourite of almost any story I've ever experienced, including books, films and other games. Now that I think of it, he might actually be my favourite character of any story I've ever experienced, and my favourite scene in Assassins Creed is in Revelations when Ezio speaks to Desmond face to face, that was brilliant, and the first four Assassins Creed games were all mostly free of the greed and laziness of Ubisoft and developers drunk on sales numbers, so they weren't hindered by that. I can play through Ezio's trilogy and always love it. It will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace Ezio my old friend, I will remember you fondly and visit you whenever I feel like playing the peak of Assassins Creed's storytelling.
Best game I have EVER played! No arguments no regrets, everything is permitted.
We NEED an Assassin's Creed Ezio Trilogy REMAKE with the building scale 1:1.
Man that video was nice...Definitely interviewed and undersubed! I remember back in the day,when I was 9-12(2010-2013) and didn't know much English playing The Ezio's Trilogy on PS3. The world seemed completely different and I was making up the gap in the story I could not understand! I had a vision that once the series would end,and I would be sad.Playing through the final games with desmond as he leads the war against the Templars for I final battle to end The 1000 year war Little did I know that now,just shy of 18 Assassin's Creed has lost It's Valuable tone in my ears, only serving as a reminder of a time in my life I loved so much and the games that made a passionate gamer
Thankyou! Thankyou so much for this!
Rodrigo Borgia is also a big reason why AC2 is a masterpiece.
here's another tragedy for this game it was the last game directed by the director who directed the first game he was fired after this game I find it pretty odd that Ubisoft fired the guy who made the series in the first place. In my opinion the series died when the original series Creator was fired I refuse to play any of the new Assassin's Creed games cuz they don't have the charm of the director who directed the first two games
in ac 4 you would get the ropedarts in the last quarter, and the blowing pipe in the midle
All what i complain about in the modern Assassins Creed (The beginn for me was at Assassins Creed 3 (Connor)) is presented in this hilarious video. Thanls a lot. Great work!
Best game ever! Who agrees with me?
ac1 is better then ac2
Not at all lolololllll LOL LMAO
not at all what? ac1 is far better then ac2 in term of combat and parkour
No...it's not. Ac2 basically has the same combat and climbing. But improved. With the ability to jump higher with the glove, and more weapons to use. What are you saying?
Emnizm AC1 is the best, every other AC game is garbage.
the theme of a character should only be reused if that character is appearing in another game of the series or if that character guest appears in some crossovergame
Great video man I love listening about AC games, would you like to collab sometime?
The only thing I have ever had to complain about with these games (Aside from the whole game of Unity and mission specifications), is the fact that you can't turn killing civilians off - Like, turn it off that you will desync if you kill too many of them.
I think the lack of present day story hurt the games a little. It gave u call to action. You (Desmond) were going back in time and reliving these past events in order to defeat the templars in present day. That aspect made it feel like The world depended on me
Very good video
When are we proven wrong about ezio's story being a revenge story(it's been long since i played the game so i don't remember the story very well)?
best video ever. I wanted to say many things this video contains
Thanks man, that means a lot to us! :D
My only problem with AC II was its soundtrack. By no means was it bad but at times I'd notice the wrong track playing at the wrond time. Like that one time right after ezios family died I noticed how 'Home in florence' and 'back in venice' playing. It kinda killed the mood a bit.
i never like the music in florence
AC II is the soundtrack and the story
Assassin's Creed II best assassin's game made!!
OK we need a petition for a remaster of this game! Just to update the meshes, textures and shading. Many new gamers wont ever experience the masterpiece that ACII trilogy is. It is a bout time since 10 year anniversary is behind us!
it did get a remaster. the ezio collection is a remaster
Assassin's Creed II was a masterpiece. Another game that I consider a masterpiece that shares similar qualities is The Witcher 2. A carefully crafted narrative and smaller set of well designed characters and environments is better imo. Witcher 3, although it had great moments, suffered due to the open world to the point where I consider it a great open world game, but a poor witcher game.
MassEffectReaper I disagree. As long as you play W3 on a harder difficulty, it should still feel like a Witcher game. ps. at first, I held the same opinion as you.
Is it weird that half the ac videos I watch have the ezio trilogy ad...
Great video but why do you hate Syndicate so much I liked it quite a bit
this video has to be send to ubisoft daily on millions of cd's.. i swear... jeessuuuuss... can someone send this to them? somehow? please? pleaaase? :|
That wasn't Minerva, it was Juno.
Ac2 is a fantastic game. If the modern day plot was eliminated, it would be a masterpiece.
My 2nd most favorite game of all time after Mafia 1
as much as I love ac 2 this is bullshit black flag unity and syndicate were not boring worlds who doesn't want to explore the tropical jungles of the Caribbean islands who doesn't want to explore 18th century paris London 1868 big ben Buckingham palace the world were beautiful
If you want beauty you go to a museum or visit the places.. A good game is not just beautiful, it contains a story with relatable characters, pacing, balance, and most of all fun! :)
I've got the ezio collection on ps4, but I first played ac black flag, unity and syndicate. The gameplay of ac 2 is a huge step backwards. There may be a difference between the cities but in the cities, it al felt the same and I found it really boring. Ac black flag had three completely different cities and in the cities they didn't feel the same and repetitively as Firenze. I also found the side missions really boring in ac 2 and the story was very slow. And it just: 'do some missions until you find a Templar, kill him, next sequence'. Same as syndicate but that wasn't the greatest story either, but they had other interesting things. All by all: I found ac 2 not that great because the story was slow and I didn't found the location very interesting
I also just find it annoying that it. Is so overrated
Sorry for the triple-post. For some reason I cant edit my comments... So you are saying everthing after 3 was shit? 4 was great. Unity was great in gameplay!
AC2 is so cool
AC Unity was disappointing but in my opinion it has the best customization of any of the AC Games, I kinda wish that you could of had more options when customizing though. In my opinion it would of been better if all the hoods and coats etc were all cosmetic and you could buy armor to wear over it to increase your health and stealth and buy pouches to increase the amount of bullets and bombs etc you could hold.
The Squealer Dealers ac unity had great potential but it didn't work out that well. If you take the gameplay of syndicate and give it to unity, it will be a great game
i never had any nostalgia to this game and after being told about how amazing and great this game was i just got a meh. sure its a good game but when you get told contsantly its a 10 out of 10 and you get a 6.5 it really doesnt feel like anything but a disappointment to me.
I miss Ezio
quanto cazzo è fatta bene Firenze!?!?!!?!
Very complex?
really good video and i completly agree with this video ACII is more than special it's super special ezio itself is memorable character, and it's original and the story begin with ezio's story himself unlike syndicate with let's kill the templar bad guy without strong reason and forced sjw things.
The reason why the series went downhill after Assassin's Creed II is because the director of Assassin's Creed II was fired different directors different vision
woah rly
I have to disagree on most of the things you said, and espacially on the examples given. AC 2 may be better then the first one, but in terms of world, gameplay, parcour and story its much weaker than games like Unity. Never understood the hype around AC 2, and just an evolving character isnt a good reason in my opinion, but please change my mind :D
im guessing you fell into the trap of listening to people tell you its a 10/10 and left disappointed too?
Ac2 had amazing parkour. I could travel across almost the entire map without touching the ground
@@wizard932 which doesn't simply make it a good game though... I mean not touching tue ground doesn't make the partour perfect either. That was possible in pretty much every game in the series
Took some liberties with hyping up the content huh?
02:19 - AC4 repetitive? Uhm...no?!
Marquis yea it was
Are you kidding? London was so much better than Italy. They actually had real references, like pictures, to make London seem as close to the original.
8PedroFerreira obviously. It's harder to make it look like the exact thing when they're in different time periods
Ac unity is better way better game
its not
