yeah, do that

I haven't done anything special to it except to install the Widescreen Mod which you can find on the game's page on PCGamingWiki

oops

Yep. That one's a lot more known and common though, and sometimes you're surrounded by other Blues.

Whether that actually makes up for it is very subjective, though. Both Mirage and Unity are pretty inconsistent but for some players pretty animations and diagonal movement that frankly barely makes a difference in how you actually play moment to moment are simply not enough, which I guess is fair. Like if I were to ask AnimusDrifter, or Jcers, or Lang, or most serious people who've put thousands of hours into these games, "Does this make up for it for you?" they'd probably say no.

Thanks

It honestly gets easier and easier as the game goes on since you get access to so many strong items and allies can come with you on most of the hardest missions and bosses. There were two or three fights at the most where I actually had to reset it several times to learn timings so I could stop dying, but most missions I just beat on my first attempt.

@@LeoKRogue have you tried midnight difficulty yet?

interesting

@@LeoKRogue 😭 yeah, will you be doing it.....

I analyzed what was provided, which was the same footage everyone had access to publicly. What is this comment? Thanks for watching.

That's a great way to enjoy it. This video was made a little bit after launch so it was back when that stuff didn't exist, but a lot of those skills and outfits that were added with the various DLCs after release make everything even better and smoother.

@@LeoKRogue yeah odyssey doesn't get nearly enough credit for it's dlc content tbh. The first blade dlc in particular was amazing. Both narratively and mechanically.

It's been four years since I uploaded this so I forget the exact name, but it's an enhancement you can unlock in Episode 3 that summons a projection to Stealth Attack/Assassinate an enemy from a distance. The projection can crit, as well.

@@LeoKRogue I’m surprised you actually replied! 😂 it looks super useful, I sometimes hate having to go further to kill one person. Plus always hate using the rush assassinate since I can’t make it crit assassinate to kill in one hit

Going the right way with stealth, everything else, not sure. I don't love most of what I saw.

Your life is amazing. AC1 is my favorite game of all time.

@@LeoKRogue yeah, it's always awesome to play AC1. My favourite too

Thank you. You make nice edits as well, keep it up.

@@LeoKRogue nah, my brother made them, but yah thanks , looking forward to more vids

Movement was just never really too valued by the average player, which is a bit of a shame. It started being simplified in AC3, continued to be simplified in Unity, and continued to be simplified even further in Origins until now we basically have nothing left.

Thanks for the comment, Zoe. I hope I didn't oversell the game, this is just how I felt after playing it. And, I still like it even now. The story didn't really hit anywhere near as hard as the classics did, that's still something modern AC really struggles to recapture, but the _vibe_ of being an Assassin in a city, this game gave me that again, and it's something I really, really loved. If you do play it, let me know (as a comment, since YT doesn't notify me of replies) what you thought of it.

They look awesome too. Though, to be clear, Thomas' Master Assassin robes aren't actually gear, they're just a cosmetic.

@@LeoKRogue Correct, I just wanted to add to what you were explaining about with covering gear with cosmetic appearance to suit our style.

Unfortunate xD

Nice! They're all really cool.

That's so cool, I had no idea, and it's crazy how that really did shine through in the final game for players who deeply Care about it and were paying attention. Holy... o_o

Yes, I think it's awesome. You should really give that piece a read if you can! Playing through AC:B knowing that Patrice was obsessed with in-city horse but had to wait 5 years to implement it is kind of funny; but also strangely moving. They really had a very specific vision for the total experience of AC1 they couldn't realize until much later (and some might even say they never did). AC was his baby.

It definitely makes you play a little more carefully, for sure. Disengaging from fights becomes more meaningful, risk-management is a lot more rewarding. It feels appropriate to let go of certain daring plays you might've made otherwise on a non-PD playthrough because committing to them might kill you, etc.

Hello Kei. Thank you for your brave and wonderful comment. I know it took energy and time to write, and I appreciate it. I'm glad that the things I've said over the years have done something to inspire you or give you strength. Things I've seen elsewhere online have done the same for me, so it's something I've always hoped to be able to give at least one stranger online, just like it was given to me at times. Existing as our authentic, true self is probably the most important thing anyone can do in this world, so regardless of the perceptions of others (but of course, always influenced by them to some extent) there's nothing more valuable you can give to yourself than that. Anything else kind of kills your soul a little, and takes you further away from truly living. I imagine a lot of people, especially those who are deeply invested in hobbies linked to online spaces, like gaming, anime, roleplaying, creative writing and the like have this same fear of being mistreated, excluded or disrespected for the 'crime' of simply being properly passionate about something. Fortuna forbid anyone genuinely cares about something, or this world will try to make you pay for it, in ways big or small. I still have this fear and apprehension, and I still hide a lot of what's really precious to my heart except with people I deeply trust, who I know will appreciate it. But it's nice to be able to be bold sometimes and stand our ground, to relentlessly Love at least _some things_ publicly and out loud. It helps manifest the reality of what We Are in the eyes of others and it helps other people draw on the courage to do the same, and Live more fully themselves. It's a small thing, but it's nice. I will say I'm a little surprised to see someone say watching me could be an example of how they wanted to be. I've never considered myself a good example or role-model of anything, I've probably ruined or destroyed more beautiful, cherished things in my life than anyone else I know, and I still pay for it to this day. I will probably suffer the consequence for my failures until I die. Some of the things I've failed to hold onto, I'll never forgive myself for, and I don't think I can be redeemed for. Even so, or maybe because of all that, I'm glad you could take something from the things and mindsets I've shown to the Internet. Maybe someone else can do a better job than me, with the Hope they got. On the note of conflict and changing other people's minds, it's a lesson I keep having to be taught over and over again, but it's actually impossible to convince someone of anything in this world, unless they're someone who deeply Loves and Trusts you, and is Willing to actually Listen to you. Sometimes, people you thought you could count on to do that, turn out to betray you and leave you Unheard once again afterward, no matter how much you beg, or how angry you get, or how kind and reasonable what you try to explain is, so you can never really have certainty. That was really hard to integrate, and I still don't want to Believe it. I really don't. I don't want to live in the kind of world where something that awful can be True, but, either way. In most situations, if you have true Awareness of yourself, and Know what you say to be sensible and true, if someone else won't listen to you, it's best for both yourself and them to ignore them and let them damn themselves through their refusal to Try. The only way I've been able to learn some things is to Experience certain situations myself, and only then did things I _should've_ understood years ago finally "click" and make sense. It's not a matter of stubbornness, the mind and soul literally can't Understand something until we process it in a way where we can actually See it. Until that moment, the smartest person in the world could explain it the easiest way possible, and it would still be completely incomprehensible. Because of that, learning when someone is ready for certain ideas and when someone is not is a Skill you begin to grow, and it's really fucking hard to get good at. I'm still terrible at it. I will probably be terrible at it for years. But a lot of people don't even know it's a thing, so. I hope any of this helped. You caught me at a point in my life where I'm actually a lot less optimistic than my mindsets have helped _you_ become, and I see the world and the bonds between people quite cynically right now. So, I wish whatever you've managed to teach yourself through seeing some wise fool's ideas carries you forward with as much Hope as you can grip onto. Carry that silver glow into the night and teach it to someone else. If a day comes when you lose all hope too, that glow will at least not be lost.

@LeoKRogue Thank you for the response, truly your words mean alot but I do wanna say failures are human and sure I don't know your personal life in any way and I don't know how you've failed but you learn from your mistakes, as it is we would be nothing without them and that experience we gain from them and the knowledge we gain we can use to further improve other people's lives and what I meant by saying you were what I wanted to be was more in the mannerisms you have and the way you speak and how confident and in ways wise you are. I also have made really terrible mistakes, especially to people close to me, and I could never forgive myself for those mistakes. they will be with me for the rest of my life but through those failures I've been able to give advice to others and help them which doesn't repay what I've done but it certainly helps my consciousness. also I follow you on Twitter so sometimes your reposts pop up and you seem to be going through some tough personal things and I wanna say I'm sorry that you're going through a hard time and I wish good health to you Leo.

I'm not sure I understand. Climbing walls and object-to-object horizontal movement are _BOTH_ actually better in the classic system because a good player could do both of them faster, smoother and comfier than anything in 3 and forward, right? An AC1-Rev player who understands movement can get to a rooftop faster than anything the best Unity player in the entire world can do, simply because that's what each system provides at their peak, is what I'm trying to say.

guess so xD

Mirage.

That would actually be really cool. They probably did, since they never showed off what crouching after a sprint does.

That's really funny to think about.

​@@LeoKRogue It's simple really. This is better parkour content than the vast 3 button fests you see usually.

Wouldn't it be funny Ubisoft sees this outcry for more movement options and all of a sudden removes any and all forms of automated movement in response?

Great comment, Jcers. I hope that all of this "text" around Parkour online nowadays (where "text" is, discussion, videos, choreo, guides, etc) does have some kind of effect on at least conveying, hey, this is an element of play that is Valued and should be invested in beyond the minimum. Would you be fine having a chat on of these yourself, by the way? DM me if that's something that seems fun. I know you're busy most days, but we could probably still find a time a bit later on.

Yoooo, Jcers and Leo K crossover would be crazy. Hoping you guys can get together sometime

Yup, yup yup.

Yeah! Some players have the intuitive awareness to do that since it's a logical exercise of, my guy does stuff I don't want him to do, how do I get him to stop doing that? I only use buttons when they're needed. And so on.

Probably AC1 or Brotherhood.

A "Mario Maker" style AC game / "Assassin's Creed Maker" would genuinely pop off so unbelievably hard among a certain portion of the playerbase.

Thank you so much Broox, I appreciate all of that a great deal. I would say I came away from this talk feeling a little wiser too, and like I'd been taught or reminded of some pretty important concepts. I'm surprised with how well-liked Rogue's Chat has become, and it's not stopping any time soon, I have two more guests coming.

Yeah, I think it's one of those things people who know about it don't really think to mention because it's so intuitive, instinctive and automatic. Like of course you would play that way, it just makes sense to us. But I could see how players who don't know about it would be pretty confused about what their Assassin is doing at times.

Sand Wraith, because he canonically won in the actual games, when you think about it! The Sand Wraith was the Prince who survived the Island of Time, only reverting back to his 'normal' self when his second (first) self was absorbed/reintegrated by the Dahaka.

​@@LeoKRogueyeah but the dark prince is physically stronger, more experienced etc, but sand wraith generates sands automatically over time which is a huge hax, he can just spam eye of the storm and itd keep refilling so i agree

If I ever do it, it'll be a long while from now. xD

A roguelike requires randomization/some level of procedural generation, the permadeath element is just one aspect of it. This is still a linear game.

It has naturally evolved into that yeah, it started off as just a way to hang out with creators I like for a little bit but has since landed on this format by happenstance. Playlist of Previous Guests: ruclips.net/p/PL36oulzyfYiMj0XU56HoIlOopZH70jbOf

@@animusdrifter Thanks Luka!! Loving the discussion so far!

Could be interesting, but he's a busy man!

I recognize the frustration. I feel we do a pretty good job of recognizing that ACU does feel convenient and comfy for descending but it kind of ends there because everything else comes stapled to a bruuutal downgrade in feel and function. :( The real problem is just that, there actually ISN'T much conversation left to pursue there, everyone already knows the state of things and the only people still really talking about it are the ones who haven't heard every argument yet. Of course the end goal is to make something that looks as nice and has as much general comfort to use without nuking fine control but yeah.

YES COMFORT That is mainly why unity is my fav. Also take a couple things (height gaining side ejects where u kind of have three diffrent height (lower than arno, same height as his hands ,higher than his hands) is mainly what im going for) Then more precision But who are we kidding Getting a system that is precise and feels ans comfy and looks as nice as acu WHAT UBISOFT?? We might as well ask for a dragon pet and it wil still be more realistic

​@@fazegix7016Unity introduces the things you say but the snap targeting system is broken.

That could be fun, the advantages and limitations of old combat vs new, and why Ubi decided to move onto this new paradigm. I think it's a bit unfulfilling that neither the old combat nor new combat are particularly great, they're just each 60% good in their own basic ways and don't go any further.

It's very much not the default for most AC fans, the biggest actual AC playerbase as of now is the RPGs.

It is quite rare nowadays, measurably so both online and in terms of overall sales/reception. By sheer volume, classic fans are a minority compared to the smash hits ACO-Valhalla have been.

trust me its not the default, its just from our perspective of longtime diehard ac fans, we just have this confirmation bias

@@ASPECTICORTRAININGVIDEOS i see what you mean but I got into AC after Odyssey came out and my first game was actually Origins. I think I made the mistake of assuming there's a lot more 'newer' fans that prefer the older games cz that's all I've seen on RUclips and Reddit

​@@moxirt7992we are the vocal minority. But the RPG sales numbers speak for themselves.
