Assassin's Creed: Revelations/Awesome

Assassin's Creed: Revelations:
"Duccio: "THE DEVIL HIMSELF!""
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: The E3 2011 trailer as a whole. Most notably, Ezio (at 52) fighting against countless enemies unarmed. And winning. He only loses because he gets distracted by a vision of Altaïr.
 * The latest trailer picks up where the first one left off with Leandros about to hang Ezio by pushing him off the top of Masyaf Castle. Ezio escapes by getting the rope around Leandros, then leaping off the edge he was about to be hanged off anyway while holding the rope (with enough slack to prevent a broken neck), which causes Leandros to facefault into the wooden plank while Ezio loosens the noose (still holding onto the rope and maintaining the slack with one hand mind you) and drags it over his head. Ezio then falls several stories straight down, lands on his feet and not only DOESN'T break his legs, he then gets up and walks away while unconcernedly flipping his hood back up. Bad. ASS.
 * Better yet? It's canon, as the first memory of Sequence 1 starts immediately from Ezio's walking away.
 * Ezio scaring off Duccio. The moment itself counts as a Crowning Moment of Funny, but the awesome part is Duccio's reaction when he sees Ezio.

"Altaïr: That is true, . I have learned many things from the Apple. Of life and death, of the past and the future. Let me show you... Tutorial:"
 * Altaïr showing what he learned from the Apple of Eden while he was in exile.

"Desmond: My name is Desmond Miles... and I am an Assassin."
 * That entire sequence is a Crowning Moment of Awesome... starting from when
 * As you make your way into the fortress, a few remaining dissenters will come and attack Altaïr. You have the option of killing them (Though you will lose Full Synchronization) or knocking them out, but if you choose to disarm them instead, they suddenly back off and decide it's better to pledge their allegiance to the returning mentor rather than facing utter defeat.
 * On top of that,
 * At the very end of Desmond's final sequence:

"Sixteen: What is a man but the sum of his memories? We are the stories we live! The tales we tell ourselves! Desmond: [desperate] Don't do this! Sixteen:"
 * When Ezio arrives at  all that's to be found is   body and a shitload of dead templars. Proving his status as a Badass
 * When Ezio leads a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the Templars for . He basically leads an army of Assassins straight into the heart of the Templar headquarters. The fact that you have an inexhaustible Arrow Storm bar and a whole squad of Assassins as personal bodyguards means that Ezio can get through the level without ever physically touching an enemy himself.
 * Altaïr escorting Niccolò and Maffeo Polo out of Masyaf. He can't even run past a light jog anymore, but he still definitely qualifies as a Badass Grandpa because he makes up for his decreased physical ability with
 * For those who did not play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood,.
 * Ezio
 * To elaborate on the preceding scene:  The numerous examples of Fridge Logic this sequence requires do not in any way detract from the overwhelming, Uncharted-worthy awesomeness of the scene.
 * We're all in agreement that Ezio is badass. And we all know that the Master Assassin armor makes him look even more badass. But the pre-order bonus armor, The armor of Ishak Pasha is so incredibly badass that it seemed like an Amplifier Artifact for ezio's Badassedness, until it is obvious that he has become so awesome that his enemies cannot not even look at him without going blind from overexposure to Pure Awesomeness.
 * Shahkulu, while being a relatively minor villain in the story, certainly qualifies. Unlike other antagonists who either run away cowardly or die trying to explain their motives and whatnot, Shahkulu quite literally LAUGHS at death's face. Even Ezio himself seemed surprised.
 * In Sixteen's cutscene with Desmond, . . It's also the moment when the player finally knows, once and for all, whose side Clay is really on.

Assassin's Creed: Embers

 * Shao Jun and Ezio get a few awesome moments when fighting the Emperor's agents in Embers, but the crowner has to be when Jun
 * The Emperor's agents attack Ezio's villa at night.
