I half want to watch but I MUSTN'T!!! You can't make me. It'll arrive in like 2 days, hopefully (I live in the UK... 2 days will still be early though ;D).

ColossusReaver5277d ago (Edited 5277d ago )

so I watched it, and I won't spoil anything for people who don't want it spoiled, but is it just me or do the quality of the writing in the Desmond parts of both games pale significantly in comparison to the ancestor parts? Seriously, using AC1 as an example, I like the Desmond parts a bit but I personally hate Desmond's character, mainly because he seems to be so clueless all the time. He never draws any conclusions for himself whereas the player is constantly drawing conslusions and not asking stupid questions. It really ruins the relation between player and main character. But luckily enough, the ancestor parts have excellent writing (using Altair for an example) there are some really great parts in the dialogue, as well as some genuine plot twists. I really hope that AC2 improves the Desmond parts but I don't see that happening.

oh, [spoiler warning]

why did they make Lucy look like she's had plastic surgery done? seriously, it's not attractive at all and it looks like her lips take up half her face, seriously, it's like she's had a Joker-oscopy

After seeing that I can't wait for Assassin Creed 2 now.

Mr Tretton5277d ago

Is the voice of the guy the same guy that does the voice for Nathan Drake? Because it sure sounds like him.

Seems like they are trying to make this character funny and witty like Drake too.

Yes it is Nolan North doing Desmond. He did AC1 just before he hit the big time.

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

Profchaos263d ago

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

KillBill262d ago

Valhalla is not on GamePass.

anast262d ago (Edited 262d ago )

I like Valhalla. The others haven't aged well.

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

The Godskin Duo is a great fight
