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...

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...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 3-4
Looks like Desmond's visions are lasting for longer than 30 seconds. If this was a professional outfit, he might want to see a doctor about that. But I guess we'll just have to make it work. https://youtu.be/tE_JT18dO7c Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I must admit, I like the scene where Altair...

Turns out the Leonardo Da'Vinci also just happens to be on his way to beautiful Venice. Perhaps he'll be willing to travel with us since we've become such good friends. https://youtu.be/jfHIG0fQxdE Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I somehow managed to forget that there's a mission where do a classic video...

With our little detour complete, it's time to eliminate the remaining leader of the Pazzi Conspiracy: Jacopo de'Pazzi. https://youtu.be/J-YqD1ZA5-Y Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud And nothing puts one in the place of late-2000s era game design like an old-fashioned tailing mission. At least this one has the mercy to be...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 3-1
Though the Pazzi Conspiracy has been thwarted, those responsible for it have yet to be put to the sword. Or, as is the case, a hidden blade. But first, perhaps a quick detour to some of the game's side content. https://youtu.be/eYpM4YRt4Tg Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud This episode marks the first...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 2-4
While the real life members of the Pazzi Conspiracy were publicly executed, we're playing as an Assassin. It's only natural that the game fudges history to let us deliver justice. https://youtu.be/Tt6I_QSEOlM Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I was looking for the exact moment where Roger Craig Smith switched from doing...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 2-3
It's become clear that we aren't the only assassins working in Florence. Who better to stop assassins than a better Assassin? https://youtu.be/q3U2TZpbQkY Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud As I've alluded to before, this whole section is based off a real life historical event where the Pazzi family and a number...
Assassin’s Creed 2 – Part 2-2
Looks like we aren't yet finished with the Pazzi family. They're planning something, and we need to know whatever it is. https://youtu.be/Ro44XR8fyEU Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I am still kicking myself for doing all of the that talking without realizing that my mic was off and not recording even...
