My problem as how everything was black and white. The depiction of the demon-like, children raping, women eating British forces.Comrade Temuzu said:
The complete lack of depth.
Of course, action game, mass release, bla bla, fool to expect any depth. But come on...
There's a limit for just about everything.

I would want to play it if they had done this:
Or if they changed the gameplay mechanics in a meaningful way. Instead of yet another assassin who walks exactly the same way as his predecessors, moves in exactly the same way when attacking or doing anything, and has the exact same set of skills. You never have to use stealth. You go in with a grand entrance, massacre your target in front of everyone and their mother, slaughter about a hundred guards, and then walk away. Another thing is they're not going to optimize the PC version for mouse and keyboard, saying "If you're playing this game on the PC, I think you're playing it with a controller", which I personally think is stupid. I'm probably going to wait until this is on sale before I touch it, just because my OCDness requires that if I have one game in a series, I have the rest of them.
But seriously. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pUhraVG7Ow
And tell me there's not a complete lack of subtlety in his approach.

The trailer would be more meaningful if they hadn't lost the opportunity to show both sides of the war and how they were being manipulated by the templars. I'm a fan of the franchise, but whatever little subtlety it had in the previous games seems to have been thrown out of the window now. No two sides, no shades of grey, just 'Murica.

Indeed, I found it incredibly silly that he wouldn't have a more discreet outfit to wear to a battle.Well he's not meant to be for one side or t'other. So the British wear red, the Continental forces wear blue and he wears white... oh my Gods he's fighting for the French!Harkon Haakonson said:Illyrius said:
Yes, I am aware he is "neutral" as far as allegiance is concerned, but he doesn't have to dress like a wizard either.

He's neutral but has been exclusively shown to be fighting for the Americans.

With the way the story's been going in the previous installments (down a hill), the way the gameplay's going (down a hill into a ditch), and the way the setting, pandering to Americans, seems to be going (down a hill, through the ditch on a one-way trip to hell), we can hope this will be at least marginally more entertaining than Superman 64.

The hookblades only useful thing was the zip lines, the climbing thing was just the metal cestus but with you from the start.
And you could...like...trip folks and flip over them. Both so useful.Sir Hitson Winsler said:

first 15 minutes: "**** off peasants, I'm an assassin and a ****ing badass! ****ing templars, I'ma get you, you're going down! "
Rest of the game, after being punished for his cockiness at the end of the prologue: "yes master assassin master. I shall do as you like. I am the embodiment of the rules of the creed and I have no personality."

Those moves would only be useful if the enemies didn't wait in turn to attack you.
