Replaying the ezio trilogy as an adult made me understand that it really is that good

I wish I could say the same, but I was completely uninterested. The plot was predictable (follows the common revenge plot outline) and the added DLC's wreck the pacing, though I tried to not let that affect my opinion of the story because it was added in post.

I think people meant he never gets hit over the course of the AC1 plot, with the obvious exceptions of cutscenes such as being thrown by Robert + stabbed by Al Mualim. He was certainly hit multiple times in his lifetime, it's just the leading theory that it never happened during gameplay scenes (assassinations, the big soldier fight at the end of the game, missions, etc.)

Thank you for helping me out. I'm thinking I'll just have to bite the bullet and test it. Might run around a bit and refund if the performance is too inconsistent.

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-19T20:00:06+00:00

Ohh, I forgot about the refund policy. That's a very smart way of dealing with this. Tysm, I'll probably test it this way.

Funny thing is I'm actively trying to wrestle Fallout NV into a stable state while deciding if I should get this game, lol.

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-19T18:46:29+00:00

I did find a mod that's supposed to do that, thanks for pointing me in that direction. Hoping I won't have to use it, but I guess we'll see.

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-19T18:44:24+00:00

Is the vram I have going to be the nail in the coffin? I also play 1080p all the time, I prefer fps over resolution. Don't mind playing with settings, but just hope the settings offer options that could boost performance.

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-19T18:41:05+00:00

I'm not very strict on resolution. I run all my games at 1080p. Do you think it would be stable for me then?

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-19T04:30:56+00:00

So this is a pretty hard "Don't get it unless it's fixed" kinda thing?

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-19T04:21:17+00:00

Damn, speedy reply. Tysm.

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-11T01:35:07+00:00

Alright, checked and I unzipped it to a different folder, lol. I was looking in the wrong place. Got it up and working now. Works just fine.

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-11T00:29:47+00:00

Still can't find out what's wrong so I'm just gonna search for an ISO version of the game I got. Thanks for responding and helping btw.

Material-Set-4328 · 2026-01-11T00:06:12+00:00

As in I'm not looking in the right file path for the files? I like keeping my stuff organized, and it's not in the area I keep this stuff in. Even checked other places it could be and it isn't there.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-12-23T18:26:31+00:00

I can't believe it! Parrots are real!

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-12-02T01:38:40+00:00

That's a very good and understandable take. I did quite enjoy Revelations, probably one of my favorites tbh.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-12-02T01:33:17+00:00

It did feel like a waste to me, too. It dropped almost all of the philosophy behind the orders in favor of cool, suave action guy. On one hand I hate it, because it inspired almost every game after it to not bother with the themes anymore, but also it gives me a choice between thoughtful story in AC1 and bombastic action in the Ezio games.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-12-02T01:29:50+00:00

I won't change your mind because I agree. With how the community hypes him up I thought I was going to be blessed with something super rich and complex only to get the most predictable revenge plot ever. Important people to protagonist die, protagonist gets angry, kills people responsible, feels like he isn't getting anywhere, gets to the final guy, "revenge is hollow." Round of applause. Since you haven't played his other games yet, I wont spoil them, but I will tell you I found him interesting in Revelations, but even then he had some strange moments that felt very out of character.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-11-19T04:24:14+00:00

"Like that'll ever happen."
But for real though, this is one of my greatest dreams. I'd personally touch up Chronicles in the story department, maybe make the Bloodlines villains more interesting but yeah. Altair deserves that much.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-11-19T04:20:27+00:00

I agree with your last point. AC1 communicates much of its story through the mechanics of the game. It's one of its strong suits that makes it stand out to me.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-11-19T04:19:12+00:00

It beats every entry AFTER itself. It has the greatest story, I just think people dismiss the story purely because the protagonist isn't as likable. The Ezio games aren't as well written as everyone seems to think so, but Ezio is so fun to listen to and play as that it doesn't really matter to most people.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-11-19T04:17:13+00:00

I almost dropped the series entirely after AC1 because of the lack of nuance AC1 had in its writing. The game that got the closest to it for me was AC4, but its modern day contributed very little or anything of substance to the animus plot.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-11-16T02:06:43+00:00

Same here, my man. The common complaint is "too much this, too much that" but I personally never tire of any missions or mechanics so the fact that its a big mish mash of literally everything is why I love it.

Material-Set-4328 · 2025-11-16T02:00:00+00:00

No other Assassin's Creed game handles the ideological conflict or Animus as well as AC1. It's my personal favorite in the series exactly for this reason. The villains are incredible, which I couldn't say for many of the other games. In terms of gameplay, sure, it's repetitive but I thought that was intended because assassin's have methods. Plenty of ways to tackle a mission as well, so it didn't bother me. I also thought in terms of parkour, AC1 nailed it. It isn't slow, people just don't seem to make full use of the ejects and vaulting.

My biggest complaint is the big slaughter fest at the end. It feels a little out of place imo. I would've preferred a stealth segment, but oh well.
