Assassin’s Creed II | 10 Years Later (Retrospective)

I'm pretty sure baby cry at beginning of ac2 is the same exact one from fallout 3

That opening montage you made was one of the coolest edits that had me smiling the entire time.
This story, music, characters, world was like playing a form of art. I’ve recently replayed the Ezio collection on the Nintendo switch and now being 24 and revisiting this series made me feel like a kid again. This is the Ubisoft that I miss

technically leonardo was never an assassin, just an ally to ezio and the creed

I knew it when I originally played this game I didn’t play the DLC missions, replaying it recently i had to play those 2 sequences in the Ezio Collection, I thought I was tripping because I thought I genuinely didn’t remember them

Why did bro create an entire theory about altair's sperm cell 😭😭💀💀

Man single handedly created the greatest video intro I have ever seen with my own two eyes😭looking at everything else hurts now!!

I didn't know that the last 2 sequences were dlc when i played it i was so absorbed with the story that i didn't notice it

From someone whose last name is Desmond, hearing that final line for the first time freaked me the hell out.

You think about about Ezio way I think about Connor.

Suprised I heard him so well with ezio’s massive 🍆 in his mouth.

Watching this as a sequel to the AC 1 analysis, the intro feels perfectly with the ending of that review, despite being done years later.

I had to take the first one away from my then 7 year old son. He would just go around killing civilians. About a year after 2 came out be was ready. We both talk about how great the game was and Ive bought the remasters a couple times.

I finally got the hang on the parkour finally and i got to say its so fun and amazing.

The only one thing i hate about ac2 is how precise you have to counter with the hidden blade and how slow the combat can be

AC2 still to me has the greatest end credits of anything ever.

The Assassin Tombs are heavily inspired by Prince of Persia. Ubisoft true Magnum Opus IMO
That's why they are the best part of the game lol

Ezio will always be my favorite

Watching the ending of ACII never fails to get me sad, especially when you know all the other games of Ezio's story. He suffered and was put through so much because of others just to realize he was just a messenger. He mentions that in Revelations and I'm sure he made peace with that being his role in the entirety of everything that has been/is/will happen, but I just can't help but feeling sad over his fate, especially when he went to Rome expecting answers and only gets more questions. I wish the games explored more on how he was feeling regarding that, as in Brotherhood he mostly focus on, well, the brotherhood and the Borgia and in Revelations he already accepted the fact and worked forward in fulfilled his role properly.
Anyway, I have been watching a few of your AC videos these days and I love them all! Thank you so much for your hard work and sharing your love for the series.

You can in fact time the gun with the fireworks. Look at the firework explode in the distance, sounds travels, basically just fire as soon as you see a firework flash.

"they improved everything about the first game" i disagree, some things feel worse to me, especially combat and assassinations

Istg I just need a remaster of the Ezio Trilogy

Ahh that theme from Jesper Kidd. I still listen to his AC tracks. They are great music to read books to.
Oh I am here as well going to watch all of these before replying them myself.
I played these as they came out as well.
I consider the Altair and Ezio games are the Cannon. And every else after is fan fiction.
Still loved Black Flag but more that it was a great pirate game. I used to come home from work and just sail the seas blowing stuff up. Played it so much I made it to the top page of the EU online leaderboards for a brief time.

I would've thought he didn't kill Rodrigo out of just plain disrespect

ngl i am starting to like ac1 more because its less of a main stream game and Altair seems more mysterious compared to ezio but they both are good in their own aspects.

I was first interested in the series when I saw a trailer for AC3. Didn't play an AC game till Odyssey. Once finished I played the Ezio Trilogy and man I don't regret it. Love A2 definitely one of my favourites of the series.

“The Truth” side content adds to the suspense of who the Isu are and the rise of the humans.

I wanted to listen to this to sleep last night but I ended up listening to the whole thing. Great vid

Ik I’m hella late on this but they use the codex pages to make the hidden blade for Desmond

Not my first time watching this, and definitely not my first time experiencing AC 2, but every single time it gives me goosebumps.

Ac1 looked better. Maybe he played a enhanced version for the first video.

The only thing I really don’t like about ACII in the English version is Ezio’s voice acting, it’s horrible, why didn’t they cast an Italian voice actor? This guy can’t pronounce a single Italian word in the correct way… I mean, if you are Italian and know Italian it takes you so out of it… he can’t even pronounce his own name

As a 12/13 year old that opening scene was EPIC
As a 25year old, that scene sends me CRYING

Someone tag LazerZ in this, in the post credit dialogue Shaun says that the solar flare flipping the Poles of Earth is considered a Pseudoscience. In AC1 Lucy told Desmond that her major in a university was classified as a Pseudoscience and that’s why she was dispelled from the university, that’s how/why Vidict found her and brought her to Abstergo. Lucy was studying this phenomenon!! How did we miss out on this Easter Egg/Clue!?!?

Why'd they have to make hugging Leonardo a quick time event 😭😭😭 sometimes I'm afk and miss it 💀💀

Just finished the Ezio Trilogy in 2023, Never in my life I would imagine, I will end up enjoying such a old game so much

One of the best games I've ever played in my entire life, just.. brilliant

While AC2 has the better story, I have to give it to Brotherhood in being the best Assassin's Creed game. Some of the flaws have become more noticable over the years and it does have an impact. That being said, I have fond memories of playing this for the first time in 2011 and was definitely when AC began its golden age.

I love the optional quicktime events they used to change the cutscenes; adds that extra little bit of replay value

Can we just talk about that into montage, it's so beautiful I need someone to clip that haha

Ass Creed 2 is just one large tutorial mission. Then you don't kill the bad guy at the end, so a sequel can happen.

Can someone clip that little montage at the start cause it's so gooood

Yooooooooooooooooo this is the most worst garbage piece of shit game in the series. No philosophy at all i mean not at all, the fighting was 10x better and cool in the first game compare with this, the side characters are the most idiots, weak and nothing special to them, beside city of Venice this game sucks from all points of view!!!! Lucky for Ezio he is evolving in the next 2 games and his evolution is amaizing, but this game was a pain from start to the end playing. If you played it when you where 8 yrs old i can understand why you liked so much..

Im italian and I can say that when they try to speak Italian ( obv in the English dub version) they sound so cringe ahah

The title screen of AC 2 is unbeatable. It is a good life we lead brother🖤

I was 21 when I played the game. it left me in awe just as you.

Actually I found this out when I was replaying AC 2 the final fight music is actually used during every single beat-up event oddly enough
