KaptenBear 13 yes

Pretty much

Couldn't have said it better

@@legaltowter9811 Idk for others, maybe a fresh breath of air? But for me, I was kinda bummed out. But not really bummed out since I actually expected that the main story would be continued. I thought that they would flesh out another story with the same IP. But nope, they just decided to forget Desmond Miles. And even then, they couldn't even figure out how to make the character out of the simulation loveable. Before, it was okay for us to have to get into the real world because the story in the simulation and in the real world was intertwined. But right now, which started in Black Flags, most couldn't care less about the story outside of the siulationl

@@legaltowter9811 Sorry. I didn't read "gameplay wise". But yeah, I agree with you. I'm going to guess that most who played the first three games actually thought like me, like they thought that the previous story would be continued after Black Flags. WIth what they did, after they released Black Flags, they actually made the story of Kenway deeper. So yeah ,even then, I actually thought that they would continue making two stories in the same IP. But when it dawned on us that it wasn't going to be that, we just trashed the whole game. Even now, I haven't played another AC game after i've played the game after black flags(the game which had a gunboat I think at the start of the game, can't remember what it was called).

10:00 your welcome

What a Transformation he goes through.

Light It Up

Why need a black flag when your enemies can spot your beard from a mile away.

Kenway gave Blackbeard a run for his money. He said so himself.

Very well thought of mate

Earthdestroyers99 Agreed

Earthdestroyers99 pirate hunter is not really a villainous occupation

Templar Yvonne, Thatch is a villain. The man was a bastard and psychopath.

Флоріан Фанта BOI! Thatch caught for freedom of men and women, Blacks and Whites, Spanish, and English. You know nothing of the true meaning of what I pirate was. He believed all mankind was to live free and not under the control of Kings and clergy and congress and Bull shit like that. So fuck off with your ignorant ass and go do some fucking research you child! Thatch is a hero above anything the damn British of that time ever had.

CAPTAIN Ed thatch

Patch the Velociraptor aye

Aye

In *a world

@Vasilijan Nikolovski it means they're pirates who are obsessed with treasure, or gold. And without it they may have been helping people instead of stealing from them

@Voidmaster05 Not gonna lie, I did the same thing.

Same here sir, I never let another English ship survive passing me. I went on a massive crusade for payback.

@@tallstar513 Neither did I. And during the killing scene... you know the scene, when Darth Vader finds out that Padme died? The suffering 'nooooo!' Yeah well... that was also me!

@@Shadowdragon1397 I was just speechless that he was dead in like 2 minutes.

@@tallstar513 It was indeed a rather... pathetic death, in my opinion. At least for a legendary pirate like Blackbeard.

Zacharaias Gaulua teach? Isnt his name thatch?

david johnson I’ve always known him as Teach, but people also know him as Thatch

And that quote stopped me. He had finally had enough of being "Blackbeard" that he wanted to retire. But if the kings men came for him, he'd go down fighting.

Nunny have you never seen pirates of the Caribbean?

@@Screamingurchin alias names to protect his family's honor. It's unknown of his real surname

+hatchcrazy Yeah, I thought that was a nice detail as well. During his lifetime, Vane was definitely one of the most famous and feared pirates in the Caribbean. However, he was too vicious to romanticize into an "anti-hero" and so other names gained much more popularity over the years. To be honest, I was glad to see Vane as one of the main characters in this game, if only to have some contrast to the romantic "noble outlaw" image that some of the others rightfully earned.

hatchcrazy I never even HEARD of Charles Vane till now. I know Blackbeard. Vane...."whoooo the fuck is this?"

Who is Charles Vane

Ivar Teuben Right?! But seriously, he was an English pirate known for his rampant viciousness and cruelty. More violent than Blackbeard from what we know. But the thing is we've heard of Captain Teach. Nobody really knows who Vane is.

hatchcrazy, Noone can beat Henry Morgan.

John Win YES I was looking in the comments to see if someone thought that was as funny as I did

Whats truly hilarious about this and awesome is that such a conversation and field test of Blackbird devil incarnate likely did happen with a similar reply.

My favorite thatch moment tbh

They're both Edwards

@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent apparently, according to legend, he did this shit with his crew. Horrify them untill they pissed themselves or begged for mercy, then just stroll away whistling, like "yep, still got it"

Me too

Yeah. I wanted to pilot a frigate but the Jackdaw is still fine.

You get to pilot one in Rogue and trust me, commandeering the Jackdaw and like is much more satisfying. Blowing everything to bits in one shot is a bit boring

Johny Reyes The Jackdaw is a Brig, a class lower than a Frigate.

Rustymcnut Once you’ve maxed out the Jackdaw, Man O’ Wars are like brigs. Easy to sink.

@Patriotic Justice Lovely words.

@@Sevvina Thanks.

What hornigold said ended up being true. "If you continue on your present course, you'll find you're the only one walking it".

@@nnnnnnnn6557 Technically not. At the time, Kenway was still selfish and hadn't really committed to the Brotherhood. Had he continued as a pirate, no doubt he would have ended up the same as his friends; dead and buried. But he's not alone; he has his daughter, and he has a new family in the Brotherhood that gives him purpose.

doesn't it mean that without gold they wouldn't be greedy as they were and would actually do good?

@@alonnie1919 Above all else, the one thing that pirates sought was true freedom. But their want for gold got in the way.

@Caleb Nicholson When he first met Ade

@@mnguyen4684 Been too long since I played this game. What did he say?

@@TheStraightestWhitest something along the lines of "You let it keep a pistol?"

@@Kaddion Oh yeah, now I remember. I think the exact quote was: ''You let him carry a pistol, do ye?'' And honestly, that quote didn't come to mind because I never even stopped to think it was about race. I sure as hell would be wary around a stranger with a gun back in those times, especially if I was a high target pirate.

@@TheStraightestWhitest I think it had racist connotations due to the fact that he was the quartermaster of a pirate ship, why wouldn't he have the ability to carry a pistol.

Ricardo Rasteiro YES I was looking in the comments to see if someone thought that was as funny as I did

So did I

It's mostly about his personal problem. Man vs himself genre.

Nononono, pepole saying this is not an AC got it wrong! This is all about freedom! The ASSASSIN'S CREED is the peace trough freedom! For the assassins, free will is the most important idea, and this is exactly for what the pirates are fighting for. Not the same methods but the same goals!

@@Durinson1 true

@@Durinson1 How 'bout Rouge?

@@Yawnford Same idea, really. The Assassins believed that by going after the Precursor artifacts, they can prevent it from falling to the Templars.

Adam Dailey his real name isn’t Edward thatch it’s Edward teach

@@Itzbozo he actually went by many different last names. Thatch, Teach, or Drummond

The main reason his head was cut off was to bring it back to the king and collect the bounty that was on his head

It was actually 5 shots

@@Itzbozo It is pronounced as Thatch.

Doctor Painis mary read was my breaking point

I almost cried they were all dead pirates I think it should be better that they didn't die😥😥

So did I

nightwalker 983 bruh when she died i almost punched my tv i was like bruh wtf!😂😂

I feel like the series needed an arc about how low one can truly fall when living the Creed's most obvious misinterpretation to its logical conclusion. Freedom without thought of consequences, losing sight of what you truly wanted in life. All Edward really wanted was to not live the life of poverty with his wife (who could've had better if she hadn't met him, IIRC), but his dreams just got out of control and look where that got him.

You obviously never played gears of war

I'm sorry but I had to do this... *choke me Thatch*

@VaNe MaStEr Agreed.

@@Sevvina please do Assassin creed odyssey man why just origins?

Thank you! The voice shift thru me so much lol 😆

Paule Uh yes discussion. It was more of a pirate game than an AC game. I mean I liked it too but I hated the fact that Edward became an Assassin at the end of the game.

Pranav Nair mmh okay You Are right... But it was the best Pirate game

Paule agreed

This is the only AC that I've ever played so far, and it's a great game to me. I really can't argue with you for that.

Paule I completely agree

I liked Ade’s dry humour.

Vane did not steer Edward I had just mad

Same I went on a bloody massacre

i destroyed so many ships that i was kicked out of abstergo for it

“Aught Else”

@Rustymcnut I've studied the Golden Age of Piracy for years and I think so, too. I was very impressed with the portrayal of the historical figures, especially Blackbeard.

Sevvina I just noticed in the scene Edward was aiming his pistol at the guy that beheaded Thatch right before he could stop him from killing Thatch. An instant too slow to save his best friend, and now the tragedy of the scene has just intensified tenfold.

@@rustkarl All the sads. T_T

+MoonBoone I agree.

You should watch the new pirates documentary on Netflix black beard looked and sounded fucking crazy but thatch was alot calmer and talked normal really good documentary and very informative

Arco Keyblade Damn good sight u got there!👌

Arco Keyblade even earlier

pfss i already saw that

Holy shit, I played this game at launch, and another time not too long ago, plus watched clips of that scene a lot of times on YT, and never noticed that! Truly a good eye!

Arco Keyblade nice catch!

@Alex Morgan The first time I played this game, I literally did everything I could possibly do before I went to Okracoke. I kept putting it off because I knew what was going to happen there.

Lads that's how Edward thatch died in real life too, if you read history books the date n year of death n the location are exact from the game. I knew it since the beginning that they'd cover this event but damn they way they did.. brilliant writing n cinematography..

+Isaias Valladares I like your analysis.

I am so sorry for your loss RIP to your cat

+PastorOfMuppets I actually...hadn't noticed that. Good eye!

But they have kept her flag accurate

Yeah because Edward has it

Carpe_0, it has the right figurehead though. Edward has that as well.

@@pastorofmuppets4552 Yeah but you actually get a blueprint for the figurehead while you just get the wheel for completing missions so i in my headcanno edward stole the wheel

Wha

Berserk dart, maybe

Pushpendra Chauhan No he was aiming for Edward but the other soldier got in the way.

@@pushpendrachauhan4928 no, it just happens. Half the time when I board a ship my own men slash me. And vise versa

It was sadder that it was just was his retirement

And I was looking for Calico Jack

I think it still holds up really well.

I'd imagine the scent of sea salt and gunpowder would drown it out.

It does, even the first version of the animus has that feature, Subject 1 tells that to Vidic in a enterview about the memories of Aveline. After all, smells are very related to memories.

They couldn't have picked a better voice actor for his character 😎

@Edward James Kenway you misunderstood, he said the voice actor couldnt get any better cause the actor was already as good as it gets

UNCORK THIS MAN'S BREAKFAST

I love how happy he sounds

I know, right?

Me too. Seeing all the characters I loved, happy and having a peaceful and happy meeting. And knowing it’s nothing but a wishful memory of what we wish would have been.

nice to know thanks for sharing mate do u have any more facts?

I love love love love to whach assassin Creed

Except that in real life his crews respected him due to his loyalty to them enough so that he went out of his way to do a ransom of government officials to get medicine for them, Its likely he shot the man for cheating or likely threatening him and shooting in the leg would be a way to make a point and not kill him, The swearing to the Devil was likely just something to show to his hostages or captured crews to spread out and his crew members likely had a laugh, It was true about the lit fuses on the hat. He also likely encouraged the stories of him being a blood thirsty pirate cause a horrified prisoner and crews was easier to negotiate with than those who were willing to fight. It did wonders if a transport saw Blackbeard's ship and automatically surrendered. If he did discipline his crew it would have probably been strict as you didn't want idiots on your crews, you also didn't want to punish too harshly as a terrified crew is not very efficient. If he encountered people who were able to stand up to looking at him directly he likely would have preferred to talk to them as they might make a potentially useful crew member, informant or person to negotiate terms. 1.

Ascension Anims play the game.Its fun

i can finally play it on my pc altho its kinda lag but i still can play it and ya its fun

Its perhaps one of the more accurate portrayal of him as well. Many portrayals of Blackbird is that of a blood thirsty pirate but historically he was very intelligent, tended to avoid bloodshed if its was possible as crews on those ships he raided not only was a source of potential new crew members but also a source of propaganda. Creating the image of himself being a scary as hell pirate did wonders in encouraging your prey to give up without a fight and create a crap ton of stories.. He was also very human . There is a throwaway line in Pirates of the Caribbean that many people miss when Jack Sparrow is in the jail cell with other pirates and one of them speaks of the legend of the Black Pearl about it never leaving survivors. Jack says no survivors so where to the stories comes from I wonder making the pirates give pause and think on the realization that there would be survivors for the stories to spread. Blackbird loved survivors. They made good stories. .

@Anthony Berry Likewise. As a longtime student of the Golden Age of Piracy, I was very pleased with this depiction.
