This is going to reveal the end of the first Assassin's Creed. Spoiler alert.
But still, please watch this video and tell me what you think. I've been thinking about it and freaking out for the past couple hours. Haha.
Please, just give me your thoughts on it. Watch the whole thing. Its worth it completely.

Maybe search youtube for "ILLUMINATI BOHEMIAN GROVE" after you see that.
Seems to be the truth. All of this is giving me a headache. Please comment and tell me what you think.

i remember freaking out about all the symbolism stuff when i finished the game when it came out, i just couldnt stop reading peoples theories, looking back at the game i think the story was meh, but at the same time i spent days reading this stuff, maybe i need to go back and see if i just forgot the awesome parts of the story...

Watch the entire video. The second half isn't even about Assassin's creed.
I literally have a headache now.

These are... interesting.

The first video says that "Assassins Creed is a warning sign to all who are brave enough to stand up for what is right," I call bullshit. You mean to tell me that a group of developers, who are working for Ubisoft, a large publicly held French company (the third largest video game publisher in Europe and seventh largest in the United States) somehow are trying to warm us about "the man," and aren't just trying to make a video game.

That... Didn't have much at all to do with Assassin's Creed.

Oh sure, I'm sure the plot will very likely deal at least in some small way with stuff like 2012 and perhaps the Illuminati... But the rest of that video is a plug for the same kind of nonsense spouted in Zeitgeist (which the video even references).

For a pretty easy rebuttal to the idea that the Ubisoft team behind the game follows this zeitgeist way of thinking, remember that even at the start of the Assassin's Creed game, there is a message that lets you know that people from many different religions worked on the game. Christians, Muslims, etc. This was, of course, they're way of avoiding some controversy considering the game's subject matter.

However, the fact remains: religious people worked on this game. They would not, therefore, be so quick to spread a "secret message" that involves - in part - the idea that all world religions are a smokescreen and tools to gain total control.

Besides that, the part of the Zeitgeist movie(s) that deals with religion has been by far the easiest to debunk ever since the film was released. No one who does even a little research buys into the ideas spouted there. One of the biggest mistakes the film makes is trying to make comparisons (without providing sources) of Jesus to other mythological figures... Except the details they tried to say were "exactly the same" were just flat out wrong. I caught that pretty quickly and I've only studied a moderate amount of mythology.

What I DO know of mythology, though, is part of what made these hidden messages and symbols at the end of Assassin's Creed so cool for me. Familiar with the Mayan religion and prophecies, I was quick to pick up the reference to 2012 and that sort of thing. The end of Assassin's Creed made me really excited to play the next games, to see where all of this crazy plot would take us. Indeed, I'm more interested in that - all the "modern day" stuff with Desmond and whatnot - than I am about the new historical setting.

But this video you've linked to? I'm very disappointed in it.

Meh. Apart from the mumbo jumbo, the first video lost me straight away with 'Clubbed To Death'. I'm so sick of that tune being used in montage videos that are supposed to have some gravitas (and YouTube has certainly helped this proliferation). Anyways, I preferred that drumbeat in DJ Shadow's 'What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 3)'.

Oh, the "mark of the beast" chip....  Bah.

I'm a Christian, and I seriously doubt that this little chip is the mark of the beast.  It's very likely that this chip exists, but half of the things people say about it are pure crap.  "It's gonna be on the right hand or forehead!  Each chip's serial number is going to start with  666!"  Seriously?  What government in the right mind would release a thing that perfectly resembles eternal death to religious people?

The chip is most deifnitely coming, but it'll simply be a passport/credit card/license etc...  Not the antichrist.

Just because a work of fiction decides to use real world elements - be them historical events/figures, modern situations, or conspiracy theories - does not mean that it is trying to "warn" us or make their fiction something to be taken as gospel. Tom Clancy does a lot of military research etc. for his novels, but does that mean he's trying to tell us that Rainbow Six really exists? Are the National Treasure movies trying secretly trying to recruit treasure hunters to uncover some of America's deepest secrets?

No.

The Assassin's Creed series (if I recall correctly Ubisoft said they're shooting for a trilogy) could end up having a really great plot that involves a lot of real world groups and conspiracy theories. But that does NOT, in any way, make it more than a work of fiction.

lol assians creed was such a shity game

I can't tell if Inhuman is a troll or just dumb. Either way, the folks encouraging his ranting are either feeding a troll or a mind that is not nearly as open as it claims. It would be best to let this thread settle low on the forum seabed.

Anyone see the parallels between those theories and all of Metal Gear Solid and Assassin's Creed?

" @LiquidPrince: If they work something out you might meet Snake in Assassin's Creed 3. "

The story's not good enough to deserve this much thought.

Well it just made me think... And there is all kinds of stuff going around on YouTube that is easily believable and seems like it could be true... Like the VeriChip.
