you're SO right, how is it that the best portrayal of many italian renaissance figures comes from a bad videogame from the 2010s
wheezing I’m torn between going truly this is the best portrayal of Leonardo da Vinci we may ever get, and defending AC2 even though I’m a full time Ezio Saga Hater
#I’m a Desmond Era + Origins fan in a ride or die kind of way but the Ezio games suck ass compared to 1 and 3#however AC2 is miles above the European Era games and Odyssey butchers the use of Ezio’s theme so bad I will never forgive them#also Odyssey is legitimately bad. AC2’s biggest problem is that the story is narratively weak and holds it’s punches#I mostly hate the Ezio saga because the fandom was really fucking racist (still is!) and it could’ve been good!!!#but I have a deep seated fondness for the parts of it that were good. the game after all is still asking you to live even when it’s hard#the opening and the music are unparalleled and legendary. I just wish it kept that up throughout the story instead of#trying for a wider appeal but the story fucks up it’s own themes and bc the simplicity of it’s assassin/templar line up is baffling#there is also an AC2 that exists in my head that takes place in Venice lmao but that’s much more spy thriller#also did anyone here read the novelizations. Ezio and Machiavelli are so fucking married. 10/10 no notes#Ascanio is also mentioned in the brotherhood novelization iirc so. we stay winning!!

#THEY HELD HANDS WHILE DOING A LEAP OF FAITH. IF THAT ISNT LOVE THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS#understand that if i had a laptop that could handle streaming i would in fact do a total run of the desmond era games + origins#as a friday night hang out and it would be half complaining about ubisoft and then ac2 would be me going 'did you know#that ascanio sforza is mentioned in the novels. he's there! ezio doesn't like him'
