One of TheHiddenBlade's primary attractions is breathing new life into Assassin's Creed games by playing them in unique, creative and oftentimes seemingly impossible ways. A great way to experience and see that is using the "Find ___ Videos" buttons on the left side. Firstly they're categorized by game, and secondly by any of the other types you see under the game's heading.

"By assassination style" is particularly interesting - and you'll be sure to find a lot of straight-up bonkers stuff.

On TheHiddenBlade, we also tend to use various Terms that have been created and thought up locally, on this very forum. Sometimes it can get confusing, so here's a really great list of Terms we use here. A lot of these might make you want to look up particular instances of that technique - feel free to do so if you get the urge Tongue

Many of these are exploits/bugs/ways of manipulating games in the Assassin's Creed series to cause some ridiculously entertaining results.

Veteran members may already be groaning at this but the video I always link to newcomers is IanXO4's "The Bleeding Effect - Expert Gameplay in Assassin's Creed." It's pretty crazy and was the reason I came to this site back in 2010.

With that, I leave you to explore TheHiddenBlade however you like. There is a lot to see and do here, so have fun. No matter what you want to discuss, whether it's Story, Gameplay, Game Design, or Exploits/Technique Discovery you'll find someone who'll want to talk about it with you. You'll get to know all of us pretty quickly, and we look forward to getting to know you too Smile

As far as I know, I did not actually create this thread.
I'm assuming Stabguy or one of the Elder Council (admins/mods) did it.
Thank you~ Smile

EDIT: Just read Pat4's intro thread. Makes sense now. I'll likely remove this comment in like a day or two.

I'll never groan at this. If I may recommend some other AC compilations:

The fastest kills in AC1, until the inevitable Eleven Man Blitz 3.0, heh heh.

Nearly a pioneer in Early Death techniques and very well made.

Eleven Man Blitz 1.61803398874989 has been in the making for quite some time now... Tongue You've seen all of my innovations already though.
