favorite game series which takes players

I think we’re scotty boxa you bastard I
don’t think so
number 10 the Auditore family’s death
Assassin’s Creed 2 you and your
dad here’s the thing about this series
it involves a whole lot of murder
usually it’s the bad guys getting
dispatched by the shadowy heroes but
sometimes good people lose their lives
as well in the case of fan favorite
protagonists Ezio an assassin from
Renaissance Italy he lost almost his
entire family after his father a member
of the assassins ran afoul of the
powerful Borgia family this traumatic
event kicked off Ezio’s journey as an
assassin and began a saga that remains
near and dear to the hearts of
assassin’s creed fans incredible stories
often begin with tragedy and this is no
exception
don’t worry at you everything is going
to be fine number 9 killing the Pope
Assassin’s Creed 2 o is the fight just
like your father
well rejoice my child for you will see
him again soon
videogames have the power to transport
us to incredible locales and time
periods allowing us to experience things
we’ve never thought possible albeit
digitally and of all the videogames in
existence
how many present players with the
opportunity to get into an epic battle
of swords and wits with the Pope himself
fascinating and impressive cowardice but
if you think it’s going to save you
another thing coming at the climax of
the second Assassin’s Creed game Ezio
squares off against the patriarch of the
Borgia family Rodrigo Borgia otherwise
known as Pope Alexander the sixth on top
of being an intense and challenging
bossfight the sheer uniqueness of this
scene is more than enough to put it on
our list it’s my destiny my number 8 the
death of Haytham Kenway Assassin’s Creed
[Music]
sheep Shepherd love it or hate it
Assassin’s Creed 3 is still a pretty
integral part of the series and it does
have its fair share of powerful moments
easily one of the strongest aspects of
the game is the relationship between
protagonist Connor and his father a
card-carrying member of the Templar
order named Haytham Kenway Haytham
believes in the Templar ideal of peace
through oppression to his very core and
is easily one of the most charismatic
villains the series has had but the name
of the game is still killing and hate
them is one of the final foes you’ll
face in the game and sorry
wanna give 100 our beanie number seven
why not
Assassin’s Creed syndicate I hope you
have enjoyed your evening so far ladies
and gentlemen I know I have sympathetic
and nuanced villains are all well and
good but there’s also a lot of fun to be
had with antagonists who just love being
the baddie case in point
Assassin’s Creed syndicate boss Maxwell
Roth a ruthless London gang leader and
very brief ally of the assassin Jacob
Frye after Jacob and Roth’s alliance
falls apart
Jacob dispatches the gravelly voiced
[Music]
before shuffling off this mortal coil
Roth delivers what may be one of the
series very best deathbed monologues one
he buttons with a smooch to a very
surprised Jacob he may not have been the
most complex villain but he sure was fun
keep the world and it’s divine manic
number six Ezio’s big speech assassin’s
creed – never preached answers but
we don’t need anyone to tell us what to
do there are few better ways to close
off an epic adventure than with a big
show-stopping speech assassin’s creed ii
proved this rather handily at the
conclusion of its bonfire of the
vanities dlc in which Ezio delivers a
speech to the crowd gathered before him
vengeance clouded my mind would have
consumed me very not for today we
exterminate you strangers mere moments
after delivering a merciful death to
Girolamo Savonarola a radical monk
burned at the stake by an enraged mob
Ezio gives an impassioned plea to the
masses that they not give in to
bloodlust and anger and instead choose
to walk a more merciful path which is a
fine sentiment but isn’t killing dudes
in historical locations what we’re all
here for was your own way
do not follow me
but anyone else number five we have done
good Assassin’s Creed origins hidden
ones with bass Ponte Vedra and towards
today as its title implies assassin’s
creed origins takes players back to the
very beginning of the assassin
Brotherhood which began in ancient Egypt
with a group known as the hidden ones at
the climax of the games hidden ones DLC
this early iteration of the organization
is formed in a moment sure to send
chills down the spines of fans I will
will never rests and Oblates shall never
tire but this does come with a sad note
as founders byuk and aya must put aside
their love for one another as they
embrace their new destinies as shadowy
Freedom Fighters being an assassin is
all about sacrifice and this scene
proves that better than any other
number four one last drink Assassin’s
Creed 4 Black Flag of assailing for
London in the next few months I’d be a
hopeful man if you were beside me
endings are often bittersweet and this
one is no exception
after hours sailing the high seas
leading your crew in sea chantey after
sea chantey and generally being
piratical to the utmost degree this
somber scene brings the fourth main
Assassin’s Creed game to a close as
protagonist Edward Kenway departs from
his life in the Caribbean with one last
vision of his fallen friends and a
melancholy tune Kenway bids farewell to
his life of piracy to greet an equally
daunting adventure fatherhood father
help me this little rascal however is a
can we Black Flag is viewed by many as a
highlight of the series and this
powerful ending goes a long way in
[Music]
number three desmond learns the truth
Assassin’s Creed Revelations the
Assassin’s Creed series has a pretty
straightforward setup at first glance
parkour white hoods historical settings
tons of stabbing got it but when you get
a bit deeper into the underlying war it
gets way more complicated this scene
more or less lays out a lot of the
game’s lore on the table finally pulling
back the curtain on the mysterious
precursor civilization whose artifacts
we’ve been chasing this whole time this
sequence is where the game really lives
up to its name
finally revealing the full scope of the
series in all its epic glory can it only
took four games to get there
I know what we need to do number two
Desmond eyes Assassin’s Creed 3 you pass
from the world leaving behind only a
memory
legacy ah
Desmond poor boring Desmond ostensibly
the game’s protagonist since day one
this former bartender is the one whose
genetic memories we’ve been traipsing
through this whole time as he unravels
the history of the Templar assassin
conflict but the parts where you’re
wrenched from the swashbuckling period
fun and forced to drive old Desmond
around in his time were never a series
favorite no it’s true it’s already
started I need to do this now
still as much as we wished we could stay
in the animus the whole game even we
were surprised when Desmond bit the big
one sacrificing himself to avert the
near certain destruction of the human
race now we feel bad for calling him
boring before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions a
man plays the fool then it’s Only Fools
you’ll persuade but appear to be the
devil and all men will submit and now
you have your title welcome to the
Brotherhood karma
number one Ezio meets Alta Year and
Desmond Assassin’s Creed Revelations no
books no wisdom just you know given that
the games are spread across numerous
historical time periods often centuries
apart the potential for the various
heroes crossing over for a big Avenger
style team-up or pretty slim but fans
were eventually able to get the fateful
meeting they’ve been hoping for kinda at
the climax of Assassin’s Creed
Revelations Ezio comes face to skeletal
face with uLTA year the protagonist of
the first game before briefly meeting
with his descendant Desmond I heard your
name once before Desmond
a long time ago it’s a brief but
memorable encounter one that brings
together the heroes of three different
time periods in a way this series has
not replicated since and hey so what if
one of them was a skeleton maybe you
will be the one to make all this
suffering worth something in the end
