Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 6-3
Now that we've put an end to the Siege of Forli, it is time to advance the historical timeline to the next site of historical tourism: The Bonfire of the Vanities. https://youtu.be/iQ9JIcJXfSc Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I find the timeline around part of the game becomes strange. Up until...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 6-2
In true historical tourism, we are now participating in the Siege of Forli that occurred in 1488. Of course, certain liberties were taken since we're working in the realm of a historical fiction centered on a global conspiracy as old as history itself, but at...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 6-1
Our little detour into the world of Dead by Daylight is complete. We're back and ready to tackle the endgame of Assassin's Creed 2, starting with the DLCs. https://youtu.be/4ILyfRp0vxI Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud For those curious, here is the interview I was discussing while completing the final tomb for...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 5-4
Only one name remains on the list: Rodrigo Borgia aka The Spaniard. One more name, and our revenge is complete. https://youtu.be/UdGd3Yns4E0 Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud On one hand, I like this as a part of Ezio's character arc, where he learns that all of his friends have been secretly...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 5-2
Somehow we've been roped into playing Carnival games in order to gain access to our next target, so we had better play to win. https://youtu.be/_6NTYsLvnWE Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud It's very amusing that Carnevale is the sequence that the initial E3 trailer was built on, because in retrospect it's...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 5-1
We may be the most wanted man in all of Venezia, but that's no problem when it's Carnevale. https://youtu.be/XLdF1MXalx0 Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud At last, we finally obtain one of my favorite upgrades for our arsenal: The Hidden Gun. It was one of the first things unveiled to us...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 4-4
With the leader of Venice subject to an assassination plot (not ours), it's up to us to stop the Templars from taking control of the city. https://youtu.be/tMYx741fxiY Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud If you're going to involve Leonardo da'Vinci in your story set in the Italian Renaissance, you're almost contractually...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 4-3
Although we have word of yet another big Templar conspiracy, we haven't done our court mandated Assassin's Tomb for this session yet. And that means it's Tomb Time! Nothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nMHvfimrB8 Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud Though these tombs are all fun platforming sections, I don't have much more to add...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 4-2
Looks like we're just about ready to deal with Emilio Barbarigo. At least, we will be once we finish a few more preparation tasks. https://youtu.be/xy3VozVPYCw Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud As a history fun fact, apparently Cantarella was a poison that the Borgias allegedly made frequent use of during Rodrigo...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 4-1
It didn't take us long to identify our next target in scenic Venezia, and acquire allies in our fight against him. The merchant king has bought himself time, but not much of it. https://youtu.be/9FAuRyfCTU8 Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud Looking over a Let's Play of the original version, the issue...
