With hoods up in public.

i like how in syndicate it felt more realistic as the twins had outfits according to their settings and could go into stealth mode by putting the hood on, my only problem was why tf do we have to remained crouch for the hood to come on but i expected that was the direction we were heading and boy was i wrong

Ezio also had that huge assassin's insignia belt bucked that can be spotted for miles lol

Seriously underrated comment.

@@Evorax And mention most of his outfit was white.

​@Elias6233 yeah AC1 was literally a revolution in gaming. The idea of climbing buildings in a game in 2008..... blending in with crowds and to this day I give the original few games credit for actually being realistic about weapons. You hit an enemy or parry or avoid. The enemy tries the same. Only a few hits til one goes down. Or one makes a counter and ends it immediately. These new and old games still have it like hitting someone with a bat even though its a sword or Light-saber. The thing that Ac 1 and 2 did for gaming at their time??? They were most definitely ahead of the ball on most studios in these days with making a real good game.

​@arielginter289 Bayek was the first one to lose his finger, that's what started the tradition. The blade wasn't even supposed to have cut his finger off, but due to having his fist balled up when in the bathouse mission, that's why he lost the finger. He saw it as a means to solidify the person's commitment to the brotherhood, and from then on, all members had to lose their fingers up until Ezio

@@jerico7911 if i recall correctly, the missing finger was actually required for the hidden blade's use, using the user's nerves as a trigger for the blade so it's as natural as possible.....would be a bitch to die from scratching your head with it tho XD

And how utterly retarded is this ancient tradition of removing a finger to gain a deadly weapon's origin is that the first guy _accidentally_ cut his finger off the first time he used it. Lazy hack writers.

That was the point, u are not supposed to take on a hoard of guards considering it’s a stealth game, hence ASSASSINS. But the new games miss the point.

@@duen-wayneogilvie5223 I mean, AC 1 is an open world game primarily but it does have a lot of stealth mechanics. They teach you the importance of sword combat from the beginning so it's hard to say what you're "supposed" to do in regards to gameplay. Saying you're not supposed to take on waves of guards when they prepare you for it & allow you to do so is a tough argument.

@@Cadugaming I'm aware of all of that and I was also the one wanting the games to change. But now after seeing how they changed and how they don't feel anything like AC games, I prefer the older ones anyway.

Wouldn't say it feels badass. The enemies in the older games were dumb as hell and died in one parry.

Leonardo Da Vinci fixed that problem in AC2 for Ezio so he didn't have to cut his finger off. I assume it's the same in the later ac games as well.

​​@@George-li1yvhat's also because of Altair's codex that allowed Leonardo to fix Ezio's blade.. So technically Altair was the one behind the modification of the Blade.

Little exception on Connor's. He curled his hands to almost a fist, making a little O shape with his thumb and index fingers because his blades are detachable and that hand form is the fastest way to flick them off when needed. Tiny cool detail on Ubisoft's part

@@George-li1yv I mean more like how difficult it is for later assassins to bring out the blade safely rather than actually getting it to work

@@metallord6960 Atleast that's still better than the viking god powers and Thor's hammer in current ac games lol

It wasn’t because it was inaccurate, it was because test players would rely too heavily on it and they wanted players to be more enticed to kill in close quarters with the sword and hidden blade.

Well, canonically in the latest Ac games the dual hidden blade wasn't invented yet.

@@vasilvasilev6661 so uh... What about 3 and the ezio trilogy...

@@FizzyI4I The dual hidden blade was invented by altair in the 12th century. Ac 3 and the Ezio Trilogy took place after that, so the dual hudden blade is present in them. The last 3 Ac games (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla) took place hundreds of years before altair was born and that's why the double hidden blade isn't present in them.

@@vasilvasilev6661 but there is a damn iron man suit in valhalla?

@@FizzyI4I No there isn't, it's just rumours that they might release something like that.

I loved the fists! I played only till Syndicate, never finished it, but really loved the fist fights there, brutal! The recent games have no fists, I suppose? It made my game!

Starting from ac unity and onwards, "knock out" is a different button press if you don't want to straight up kill your target. But the initiate series (unity and syndicate) requires a weapon for actual combat. In the rpg era, there were non-lethal ways to finish your opponents. Unarming yourself manually, to using a non lethal skill (spartan kick, or kick of Tyr, Viking salute) and ofc, the "knock out" option for stealth attacks.

@@TheHammerGuy94 Yeah, forgot about Unity. Nice to know that at least we have kicks now. Personally, I think an assassin (warrior) who is useless in combat without weapons is ridiculous, you need to be good at hand-to-hand combat.

(Notice Altair only has 1 on his left arm) He probably has really strong muscle memory for the Left Blade and has to actively think to use his Right Blade.

Probably because wearing the hoods made them stand out as the games drifted towards modernity. So pulling them up when you don't want your face to be as visible like in AC4 and Syndicate makes sense
