of this ancient Codex writen by Altair for some reason. And I'm glad that the story is deeper than the last one, with a better purpose to kill people than "I'm part of an organization and I was sent to kill you".

This and Uncharted 2 are my most anticipated games this year. I may even get the Collector's Edition of AC2.

One question comes to mind, why's he wearing those clothes? I mean, why couldnt he wear something that isnt screaming "I'M AN ASSASSIN!!". He stands out way too much just like in the first game in which all of your weapons are practically sticking out of your body and you pretend to be a monk? That's not realistic. Oh well, im nitpicking cuz i liked the game... mainly the random slaughtering of the guards.

Dead_Cell5369d ago

He may be taking on the Assassins persona.
The only reason you think "Assassin" is because of playing Assassins Creed.nothing really screams that he's a killer because of that outfit. Plus the outfit is dated compared to the style of the time by a few hundred years,nobody could really assume he has ties to a few hundred years dead killing organisation because of it.

I see whatca mean, but at least he's not wearing all black and going all ninja on people. I think the white assassin's outfit is a breath of fresh air from other stealth games where you're wearing all black. And to tell you the truth, he could be wearing anything and he would still stick out. Most civilians probably wear white, too.

As far as the weapons go, I always thought in AC1 why people didn't notice the throwing blades, sword, and knife sticking out. Kinda defeats the purpose of a hidden blade when you have tons of other blades in plain sight. It just seems silly.

I'm really looking forward to this game as well.

Thanks for the warning. I sure would have hated to have been surprised by installing a ubisoft game on accident.

Profchaos268d ago

Because you can't play all the games on every subscription already

KillBill268d ago

Valhalla is not on GamePass.

The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.

The Godskin Duo is a great fight
