Hey, Jess here!
I am not sure if I have mentioned it before, but I'm a huge fan of Assassins Creed. In fact it's my all time favorite games series and I don't think that will ever change. But ther has to be a moment when I started playing it right? Of course there is and I wanted to tell you about it.
When I was 15 or 16 years old when I finally got some real friends (like, people who actually cared for me and didn't just use me) and so I also met my best friend. I don't know if he would like me to say his name, so just to be sure I won't. But at that point I had barely ever played games before. I did have a Nintendo DS, which is now a very old version, but I only had it for Nintendogs (oops). Later I started playing other things on it, but that's a story for a different time.
My best friend and another friend were real gamers, haha. They came together just to play games and since I was their friend now, I also came. But at first I was only watching. I don't really remember if I was allowed to play (though I probably was), but I was afraid to fail because up to then I had never even held a controler.
After a while, I started playing a little every now and then. They almost always played shooter games and my aim was terrible... it's still not perfect, but who cares. In my defence; I can play smart, sometimes I see things other people don't.
Not much later, I heard someone talk about something called Assassins Creed. Then I had no idea what it could be, but she was really enthousiastic about it so it had to be good. Fortunately my best friend had one of the Assassins Creed games. He had the third one, Assassins Creed Brotherhood, to be exact.So I asked him if I could play it and he actually liked it that I wanted to do so. From then, everytimd I was at his place, I played a little. But I was really bad at it. But when I really couldn't get past a point in game, he would help me or even take over just to get past that point.

The further I got in the game, the more intrigued I became. Not only did I start to really love the game I was currently playing, I also wanted to play the other games and know more about the storie and the lores. But my friend didn't have the other games and I couldn't really buy them (since I didn't have a console myself). This made me look up gameplays on youtube. I also found someone who turned the games into movies. Though not actual movies. He just played in a certain way and editted so that it seemed like (long!) movies. I have probably watched them all like three times, so I got to know the stories very well from the games I couldn't play.
Not much later, Assassins Creed IV came out and when my best friend had finished it, it was my turn. It didn't take long for it to become my favorite game of the whole series. And it still is!
But then I finally got myself a computer that was good enough for games (I needed a new one anyway). I got a steam account right away and bought all the AC games I could affort. I have to admit that I still haven't played AC Unity and Syndicate, because they were too expensive (I never buy games immediately). But I have watched the 'movies'.
During all that time I occasionally looked up information and stories about the games just to know more and more about the AC universe. And even if I don't play it that often anymore, it's still my favorite gameseries of all time!
To be continued...
