It will be really interesting to see how you would fit in two games of this year for the 2 minutes of next year's AC: The Phoenix Project.

It's crazy how much more intellectual someone sounds when they use an English accent.

Thanks for the recap. I have recently beaten every game in the past year (thanks steam sales!) and somehow I still didn't understand everything. I would say I'm looking forward to playing Assassin's Creed Unity but since I don't have a computer from the future looks like I will have to wait a bit.

The only Assassins Creed game that I have ever played has been Black Flag which has been on my PS4 so all of this was pretty much new to me. Still, non-the-less this was interesting as I had no idea how deep the story went.

Not bad woman, i think if you stick to these story connected sequels then you should be able to nail it all the time, keep it up!


Just don't try games with a non-connected story in it's sequels, cause then that 2 minute limitation will start to haunt you.

I don't know if any of you will agree with me on this, but the moment Ezio left the Creed was the moment I lost my interest in the series (for the most part). There was this feeling of finality in Revelations that hasn't quite left me yet. I dunno, maybe it was the fact that I had been following Ezio's story for so long or the fact that he was actually a well made, fleshed out character with an amazing voice actor.

@rajsaha Didn't care much for Altair until Revelations when he was an actual person instead of a mindless drone. Edwward was all sorts of awesome but his arc and personality was far more pirate than assassin. Connor's arc was meh,most of the game, i think he could have been more interesting, Liked Ezio more than all of them and like you say it's great we got to play most of his life. even the end of his life if you watched Embers. who knows how much better the other characters would be if they got the same attention. i think i can keep playing indefinately. ahem if it makes sense of course, Ubisoft.

something that always gets me thinking in these games.... some of these henchmen type guys are probably just good guys, just doing their job, ignorant of all these conspiracy goings on. Here you come along... BOOM assassinate them... because you don't want them to get in your way later when usually they only try to stop you after they see you kill someone. Doesn't seem to make these assassins look like good guys. just something I wonder about from time to time

@mtm2490 no such thing as right and wrong though i mean the templars are the good guys in their mind why the assassins go around stabbing every c**t for chaos. tbf the chaps theys kill would die anyway don't see as it makes a difference as to how and when. that might have seemed a bit morbid but it's actually quite a liberating view

the abstergo conspiracy, the templars, the assassins, no matter how far fetched were grounded in reality.

the first civilization turned the game into a total sci-fi, nothing-you-can-relate-to story about superhuman beings and magical apples.

so basically Steve Jobs, now that i think about it

I always preferred beautiful women to sexy ones and she nailed it. She is a classy dame almost equal to Princess Kate.


Ahem that stated, interesting story and I am a Catholic =) Though Liberation is still my fav Ass game. Maybe if they made one form Feudal Japan....

I never played an AC game before, but I thought it was about fighting the Illuminati plot to control aliens made by the Reptilian Overlords by wearing 2cool4school hoods and 3edgy5me ancient Chinese and a little bit Japanese martial arts. After watching the video, I was glad I was right!

Haha I just noticed that you were wearing a fleetwood mac shirt, I know the old guitar player, Jeremy Spencer. He lived near my house in brazil for the longest time. My parents were good friends with him and his (then) wife. My oldest sister worked with him for a long time.

The whole Abstergo thing is ridiculous. It actually detracts from the game and pulls you out of the immersion in my opinion. I hated that stuff popping up when I was playing Black Flag. Other than that I really enjoyed the game.


Course it's the only AC game I've played. I bought it for the pirate theme. This summary told me enough to know I was right about Abstergo.

I preferred the conspiracy style narrative of the earlier games. The first civilisation backstory was just... hammy.

Man I am so glad I never cared about the "story" behind AC. It is one of the most convoluted, nonsensical, contrived back stories I have ever heard, and I have played a lot of games.They should have never tried the modern side of the story and just made it a "historical" game.

The "Seperating the chaff from the wheat" line reminded me a bit of Malcolm McDowell in Wing Commander 4.

Nice job Lucy; first video I see of you. I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks for the recap...it's just not doable to keep replaying every previous game every year when a new AC comes out...

i like this show good job lucy

that said, i lost all interest in AC about 2 hours into AC3 and have not revisited any of them since. now i can say if it was all that Abstergo entertainment stuff or if i just got burned out by sequels being churned out every year...

@suppaphly42 Oh yeah the lead into AC3 felt like it took forever! I just remember feeling like I played for hours to finally get to the "open world" part. I remember feeling like I just wanted to rush through and get to the good stuff. About 2/3 the way through the game I gave up on that idea. Just felt like tons of load times and fetch quests. So much running back and forth for nothing.
