00:00:00.000 Greetings, Laddingtons. I just got back from Temple of Iron. Had an excruciatingly glorious session.
00:00:07.300 Actually did 5 repetitions at 220kg in the deadlift. All-time PR. Feelsgoodman.jpg.
00:00:16.100 It might have something to do with the fact that it is full moon, but I will elaborate further on this in a coming video.
00:00:24.520 Because I filmed the set 2.
00:00:30.000 But let's get into the episode. We are here at this heroic place.
00:00:35.540 Hello, mate.
00:00:38.120 Highly hysteric lion.
00:00:57.200 That is very true indeed.
00:01:00.000 Kettle die and kinsmen die, but there is one thing I know which never dies, and that is the fame of a dead man's deeds.
00:01:11.060 Tell me why we're here.
00:01:12.500 You didn't bring me here to talk about dead Spartans.
00:01:15.840 What's on your mind, Rothothos?
00:01:18.180 The battle of Thermopylae still echoes in our hearts.
00:01:22.180 But to stand here is to feel it in your bones.
00:01:25.580 There is nothing here but ghosts.
00:01:27.980 My concerns are with the living.
00:01:30.360 Hold out your spear.
00:01:31.980 My spear? What for?
00:01:33.640 I need to know something.
00:01:52.340 There he is.
00:01:54.380 Glorious King Leonidas.
00:01:56.060 It's getting swarmed by
00:01:58.360 Persians.
00:02:00.560 !
00:02:30.560 Oh, my God.
00:03:00.560 Oh, my God.
00:03:30.560 Oh, my God.
00:04:00.560 Oh, my God.
00:04:30.540 Treachery breeds treachery.
00:04:33.260 A contract was put on his head, and he died as he lived.
00:04:37.240 A coward.
00:04:37.880 Why was Sparta alone that day?
00:04:44.680 Where were Sparta's allies?
00:04:47.360 The Spartans weren't alone in facing Xerxes and his hordes.
00:04:51.620 Many from across the Greek world were armed and ready to fight alongside Leonidas and his 300.
00:04:56.920 But when the mighty king looked into their eyes and saw fear, he sent them home.
00:05:02.880 That sounds like madness, not bravery.
00:05:06.180 It was foretold by the Pythia that Sparta would lose either its freedom or its king to the Persians.
00:05:14.560 Leonidas made his choice.
00:05:16.400 That is an absolutely heroic choice.
00:05:22.240 What happened to Leonidas?
00:05:23.620 What happened to Leonidas after the battle?
00:05:26.540 Xerxes was famous for honoring warriors who fought valiantly against the Persians.
00:05:31.240 But Leonidas infuriated him so much, he cut off his head and impaled it on a pike.
00:05:39.120 A bloody battle ensued, and his remains were acclaimed by the Spartans and buried here.
00:05:45.580 Now, however, he rests where he belongs.
00:05:50.160 In Sparta.
00:05:54.140 You knew the spirit would do that.
00:05:57.200 You knew this would happen.
00:05:58.940 I didn't know, but I did suspect.
00:06:02.520 There is a place I'd convinced myself was a dream.
00:06:06.460 Until now.
00:06:08.300 A peculiar structure on the island of Andros.
00:06:11.940 Mysterious shapes carved in stone.
00:06:14.400 Like nothing I've ever seen.
00:06:17.500 You want to sail to Andros so you can show me shapes?
00:06:20.600 In my travels, I heard whispers of an ancient civilization.
00:06:25.820 A people who came before.
00:06:29.200 Your spear and that place are connected.
00:06:36.000 Who are the people who came before?
00:06:39.020 You mentioned the people that came before.
00:06:41.360 Who were they?
00:06:42.620 They were not gods.
00:06:43.760 But they lived far longer than any mortal.
00:06:47.260 And were far more intelligent.
00:06:49.580 I've seen carvings in caves.
00:06:51.620 Strange symbols that suggest it was this ancient civilization
00:06:55.160 that created humankind.
00:06:58.180 And provided them with fire.
00:07:00.220 But Zeus blamed Prometheus.
00:07:02.340 Yes.
00:07:03.340 Well, perhaps his eagle has been feasting on the wrong liver.
00:07:10.200 Alright, mate.
00:07:11.480 Let's go, champ.
00:07:12.800 We sail to Andros.
00:07:14.060 The spear awakened to you, Herodotus.
00:07:16.800 I trust you.
00:07:18.060 You understand.
00:07:18.760 I will do everything in my power to help you find your mother.
00:07:24.420 I promise.
00:07:25.740 But first, we must sail to the island of Andros.
00:07:29.540 I'll meet you at my ship.
00:07:30.840 Absolutely aesthetic place yet again.
00:07:39.700 That's because I'm such a fan of these sights.
00:07:43.160 And there she is.
00:07:46.520 An absolute beauty of a ship.
00:07:50.660 So, um...
00:07:51.260 Indeed he will.
00:07:57.220 But this wasn't part of my plan.
00:08:00.100 He's helping me find my mother.
00:08:01.280 Alright, I utilized a little edit there.
00:08:03.240 Because I thought about elaborating on whether I can recommend this game.
00:08:06.480 And Barnabas, the mad cunt, started talking.
00:08:09.120 And then I got interrupted.
00:08:10.500 And then I didn't want to interrupt the game.
00:08:12.580 So, I commenced a little edit.
00:08:14.380 And here are my thoughts on whether I can recommend this game or not.
00:08:19.480 And I will say that it is a good game.
00:08:22.120 I have enjoyed playing it thus far.
00:08:24.380 I've played some offline, so to speak, as well.
00:08:27.340 So that I haven't uploaded in a Let's Play.
00:08:30.780 But I would also say that it's very important that we give feedback to Ubisoft.
00:08:36.380 So they know that we don't particularly appreciate certain elements.
00:08:40.300 So, for example, something I probably thought was the most annoying thus far at least.
00:08:47.180 Is the...
00:08:48.180 Are all of the female bandit leaders, etc.
00:08:53.340 First and foremost, I don't really want to kill women.
00:08:56.160 Even in battle, even in a video game.
00:08:58.180 It just feels wrong.
00:09:00.020 And it looks wrong.
00:09:01.000 And it's not historically accurate.
00:09:03.260 So that is something I would definitely change.
00:09:05.680 And I hope Ubisoft listens to the future to have it a bit less.
00:09:10.600 Less females involved in battle, etc.
00:09:14.800 Now, that being said, you can definitely have a lot of female characters doing regular female stuff.
00:09:20.460 There is plenty of intrigues, etc.
00:09:22.860 That you can have storylines and quests revolving around.
00:09:27.620 But when it comes to...
00:09:29.260 When it comes to the fighting, I'm not particularly a fan.
00:09:35.020 Then there is the aspect of a few sexual, semi-degenerate encounters also in the game.
00:09:43.240 I am not overly prude when it comes to that.
00:09:46.620 Even though I have a hard stance against porn, I don't really mind in films and games if it is a bit of nudity.
00:09:53.080 If it's a bit of intimacy, etc.
00:09:55.620 But some of the scenes requests have been a bit on the edge for my taste.
00:10:03.620 Not a big deal, though.
00:10:04.780 It's not game-breaking.
00:10:05.800 But something that perhaps could have been a bit less of.
00:10:12.060 And then in regards to the good things.
00:10:14.440 Obviously, as we saw with the Leonidas thing there.
00:10:18.860 It's highly aesthetic in that regard.
00:10:22.360 You get a good sense of history.
00:10:25.060 Even though there are parts that aren't really historically accurate.
00:10:28.180 You still get a good sense of it.
00:10:29.540 And especially the first episode that we had a really cool opening.
00:10:36.580 So, to give my verdict.
00:10:37.660 I can recommend it.
00:10:39.160 But I don't think it's perfect.
00:10:41.320 If you haven't played any games but you want to start.
00:10:45.540 I would probably recommend The Witcher 3 before playing this game.
00:10:51.000 And then Skyrim, obviously.
00:10:52.800 So, there are games that are definitely better.
00:10:54.520 But since I am a fan of Assassin's Creed.
00:10:57.080 I thought this was a good idea to play this.
00:11:01.720 So, anyway.
00:11:02.140 Let me know in the comment sections if you want more episodes.
00:11:04.820 Or if you want me to do Let's Plays on another game.
00:11:08.320 I do have Kingdom Come Deliverance.
00:11:10.620 So, I might play an episode there to just show it off a bit.
00:11:15.240 So, anyway.
00:11:17.000 Thanks for watching.
00:11:17.980 And comment below if you...
00:11:20.020 What kind of game you would like me to see...
00:11:22.820 What kind of game you would like me to play next.
00:11:26.080 XOXO.
00:11:26.980 Boom.
