well then also in the middle of the rhythm of the woman with her son she likes the stops she would like to let them go it was like leaving easily word not like we were not here for this take it out, get away I really enjoy it because from the beginning you know that no It's the Vikings we know exactly. Hello YouTube, welcome back to our channel. My name is Elena. I'm Bueller and those Vikings

react

when we take a look at some of your. favorite Viking shows and discuss their historical accuracies today we're watching the new Assassin's Creed

trailer

this just came out like today Fred from when we were filming something new I'm conflicted going into this I've been trying not to see anything I've been seeing pop up on everywhere because everyone has been going crazy about it, good and bad.

I've played a few of the Atanas Creed games, not all because they became stale for me, but then I also heard that there was like a big Asian resurgence of games after I stopped playing, so I heard that they liked it again. good. They've always had this really interesting concept for a similar story, like interjecting their own, subtle little things here and there to like. rewrite the story, but in the same way in this in the same aspects to make sure that the story follows the course that it is supposed to. It's an interesting concept for sure, it's a really cool gameplay style and I like how they tell a story to this day.

I have also seen that they have been collaborating with your vaquita Newseum and katya don, who is an incredible musician, and also with dr. Jason Crawford, who is spectacular, so I have high hopes for that, but I'm also too scared to have hope. I have a feeling that all that collaboration will come more in-game content and I'm sure that's what I see in the

trailer

, but I'm very interested, to say the least, in the story perspective. Yeah, the thing is because I remember you telling me today that dr. Jackson Crawford was kind of a collaboration with the creators of the game, but it's huge, it's absolutely incredible because he's an incredible historian, he knows a lot about Viking Age knowledge, but where it comes from is he studies the writings, he studies the stories essentially. , so he knows the sagas, he knows the mythology, you know, he basically translated a little bit himself, but he doesn't specifically study the Viking Age from the point of view of an archaeologist, an archaeologist, right, so I think he may be right from the perspective of the history to which it is linked. this game probably means that the story is going to be pretty accurate or is it accurate, they allowed it to be open ended, but from a visual perspective there's still a question, yeah, I'm still a little hopeful for some of the appropriate stuff like that because Someone to who I follow in passing said that he was working at the Lake Museum and that the team in the hoop is often.

I actually mention that I interview people at the museum about the Vikings so I don't know if it was just the history of the clothing and I like the lively aspect of it, I have no idea so we'll find out. I guess that's very fair so I'm going to say this right now, it's nothing Viking related so I'd like to get it out of my system, the graphics look amazing, they look so good the game looks beautiful and I'm thinking that the gameplay itself probably won't be that beautiful, but you might be surprised. I think well, I'll show you the most recent one.

I'll show you that a kiss is not of that quality, of course, but it's still pretty good, no, I know, and that's mainly due to the actual game engine, yes, yes, exactly because there will be a give and take, but I. I mean, gay men these days are getting a lot better too, yes I mean repurposing them for real photographic representations, now that's true, all the lands in England they will never defend, never love, the time has come, they will understand that it was great that Alfred said "you." We know that they were breeders and raiders who were like all the stereotypes we always hear about the Vikings and the dirty Bru barbarians who didn't care at all about humanity or life or innocence and then they show the scenes with the children playing and so on. the town and you know the simulated battles near the farm where dad says oh no, you got me good, then also in the middle of the rhythm of the woman with her son he likes the stops that he would like to leave them behind he is like Sal, we are not like if we weren't here for this, leave, um, I really enjoy it because, from the beginning, you know it's not the Vikings, which we know exactly like, of course, they were Raiders and they were warriors, something like that, obviously, but there was also The other side of that, they weren't just these constant gross pagans that you normally see, yeah, they were basically doing a one-on-one and I love the way they figured that out early. which showed that yes, the atmosphere in the game was amazing, so I want to play this, so I'll pre-order it. um, I'm like watching, I'm remembering why I got into Assassin's Creed in the first place.

I'm seeing a lot of moves that are a little bit chopped up like combos and all kinds of counters and a little bit like attacks and things that got me into this, that were so innovative when it first came out. um, I wanted to play all the games again to review so quickly what was pretty good. I saw a lot of people complaining as if nothing had happened about what is historical and I got like that. I think the environment is like the city of villages and things like that looked pretty interesting, yeah I thought it looked pretty solid from the quick looks we gave it, I mean the armor will always be armored, the amounts of hair on all parts, yeah, like oh, the main one. character, I thought he was like Road's best friend growing up, what was Ragnarson like now, oh yeah, yeah, he actually looks good, oh yeah, I was trying to play with the beard and the hair and I even like the fur and they are not like this. seemed right, oh right, that was really fun for me, but yeah, definitely, you know, kind of a copy paste of the shows a little bit, yeah, absolutely, it was definitely inspired by that, like there was a cut of the woman that he was doing something like the ceremonial blood with the antlered headdress and we just don't have information on that so that's anti liberties here but overall he looked good what I saw the guy he was fighting yeah that it was like they were there, so that's something I wanted to mention in terms of what you're doing is like a romance thing, yeah, something like Anglo-Saxon Roman legionary, like remnants of the Roman occupation of England from a hundred years ago, like, yeah , okay, that makes sense.

I guess he even had the helmet like but then like but then like with that Roman helmet he had a faceplate with an English accent like from Sutton Hoo it's like that one from the Vandal period yeah and and then like the red cape that was Also, the clip has been like a scale email and stuff too, and it's like all this doesn't make sense. I'm glad they killed him, maybe we can't see him, yeah, maybe they just took him out. the system output from him and we won't have to see it, but yeah, that part was the one that didn't make sense.

I'm glad he died. Yes, me too, some of the close-ups, like the weapons and armor. and things like that not so much, there was a shot when he was, you know, with the guy with the ax that had killed his friend and as if that ax was nothing historical, it was huge and clumsy and had this strange lid and things that It was almost as if someone had taken a palm cap from a later period. I just put it on top of an ax because they could and obviously liked a lot of leather issues just for the armor that weren't there.

If people want to make leather armor, then I don't know, just make something that doesn't look like a bunch of straps everywhere. Yeah, I mean, the thing about leather armor is that we don't know anything about it. Do you know if they had them? heard or not, we just have never found it, yes we have to assume that they probably didn't have it, but at the same time they could have it, yes, and that's the problem with a similar recreation in a similar living history and and our killer didn't do that because leather fines do not survive well in tombs, only in similar ideal situations do they actually survive to this day, so even if they had leather armor, which hypothetically would make a lot of sense because they had an abundant amount of leather and could easily have used this to make hardened leather armor and so it was, even if they did have it, which is very plausible, we have no way of knowing how to represent it because we have nothing to base it on. that, like anything, will be a modern interpretation of something that could have existed, yes, and we, and because of that, it will always be unpredictable and it will always be guest material until we find something substantial that we may never find.

Honestly, I mean the only illusion of leather armor that we have is, you know, in the Ragnar Ragnar Lodbrok saga, yeah, yeah, but the furry pants, because those were, you know if he liked it and yeah or yeah used them, yeah, hurry up, yeah. I mean, yeah, so he got the name or he got the name lothbrok, which means Harry Bridges, because of the pants that he wore specifically, so they weren't, you know, the typical linen or wool that you normally wear, they were leather and not just . They were made of leather, they were hidden in the pants as if they still had the skin, yes, in the Ragnar saga the story goes that he wanted to marry the daughter of a Swedish king and to do so he had to kill two. poisonous snakes guarding his residence and he put on these furry pants, these pants that were leather and he actually jumped into a frozen lake to try to shore up the material so it would be stronger that way if the snakes were to bite him on the legs .

At least he wouldn't die, they couldn't get through the leather to get to her legs essentially and he did it and he won her heart by doing it and he married her and she was actually the one who gave birth, you know? sugar snake in the I um Ivar, the boneless one that was, was his mother, but you also know that there is a story of Radner's death where he was thrown into the snake pit and for a while the snakes bit, but he wasn't dying until because of his hobby, he had to take him out again and take off those pants and then throw him away again because he wasn't dying when he was supposed to, yeah, and then he did after that, yeah. that's one of the only examples, really, yeah, the only example we have of leather being used as armor in quotes, yeah, and there's very little else.

I think there's an example of a gift given to a weekend king where it's literally described as a pair of shirts that are like a pair of reindeer skin armor or something like really my Newt, something like that and we also have a gray find of similar clothing made of leather that was like a seal skin that was found a few years ago was like a seal skin like a cloak or pants or something we're not too sure about, so leather fragments are very rare to find as good quality, being able to say something like that specifically, yes, which one. it's unfortunate because for all we know they could have had all the leather armor in the world, yes it was probably plentiful yes but we don't know exactly so it's difficult and that's always dangerous that's always a dangerous area when you are representing. a historical period, whether for entertainment or education, you should always tread carefully, you know, and it's better to err on the side of caution too, at least in my opinion, so it's always better to assume they didn't have it rather than misrepresent it. and then just explain it, anyway, as usual, you'll see that they are, you know, exaggerations or their own interpretations with leather armor and furs and things like that, but like the few shots that we saw them in their house with the clothes and the buildings, everything seemed cool, so I don't know, yeah, I don't know why everyone's freaking out.

We'll have to watch it again, I guess. A couple of times you're probably going crazy for the Roman type, yes it was beautiful leather armor, yes there was that, but yes, like you say, I like the little village scenes and stuff like that, like we saw some pretty grains and some pretty dresses and just the typical, simplistic type, yes, and he likes to get up, yes, and also like the fur and the avian spread, oh yes, absolutely, the scenery was amazing, yes, beautiful, the boats look really well, yeah, the combat sequences are great. I love the little slow-motion cuts to those classic Assassin's Creed battle sequences, as you'll learn, you'll learn as we go, but that's like the little isolation we need, like the two swings with the axe, so they left their lance.

Through them, like they slow down or stop, almost like 300 style. I was saying it's very 300, it's as iconic as the combat in those games, so watching them made me have all these flashbacks of like oh. I need to play these games again oh clearly I need to spend more time on this beautiful thing um but no I'm actually very excited about what it's going to be cool I want to play it yeah I want you to play it too and I want to play it too . This will be great. This will be really cool. I am very excited for these video games that we need. figure out how to do it, we have to figure it out, yes, but I'mexcited and if that's what we're going to do, I'm even more excited about the story and how they like to do it because so do you I know with Alfred being there and some of the trees and stuff like that.

I assume it's Alfred. I think I saw this name scrawled there. This is also the head of like the big army heat or something. I was gonna say. This probably makes me laugh. guy great setting for it honestly you know, I can't wait for this is going to be so good this is going to be great um what a great day to be a viking what a great time to be a viking there's so much stuff out there there really is this is great keep going popping up and we're just trying to keep up.
