It's still a thumbs down, which in today's culture means "this looks like a bag full of shit".
This looks like shit because:
Nice Assassin's Uniform. He really blends in.
I would never suspect the guy who stalks through a crowd in a bleach white hood, armed to the teeth, would be an assassin.
Did he say "Leonardo"? Jesus Christ. Really?
The action looks incredibly bland, and unrealistic.
Swan diving fifty feet in to a wagon full of hay = Holy shit that's lame.
I'm sure every assassin waxes philosophical after putting down a target.
God knows people who make a living off murdering other people are all poets.
It's awesome the way he kills his own guard.
"Take that, guy who I paid to have trained and outfitted!! Killing you is in no way a complete and total waste of my time and money!!
This certainly wont make all the other men I'm paying to protect me walk off the job!!
Mua ha! I'm so evil!!"
I love it when characters in books, films, games, TV shows, etc, shout a phrase in their native language, and then speak perfect English, but with an accent.
It really adds to the realism....
Why can't we get a game about an assassin that's a little more realistic?
And by "a little more realistic" I mean "not gaining access to his target by parkouring off a three hundred foot tall tower".
How about a game where you infiltrate an enemy's castle/house/stronghold/whatever, have to acquire an outfit to fit in, and assassinate them in a more realistic fashion, like food poisoning?
Whatever happened to the arts of bribery? You'd think it would be pretty easy to pay off a group of guards, especially when their boss kills them for bringing up what seems to be pretty relevant information.
I respect ur opinion that it is a bag of shit, I guess i'm just curious as to why you say that. Are the graphics bad? Old time melee combat old and played out? Clipping issues? fun factor?
It's a video game... It isn't supposed to be perfectly realistic. That is what outside is for. His robe does stick out. But monks also wore similar things, so guards couldn't just go around killing and questioning everybody. His weapons are hidden under his robe. Basically everything you complain about seems like typical this game isn't PERFECT bullshit.
The one I give you is the swan diving thing. I always thought that looked kinda funny.
Just to point this out you're are wrong about the thumbs down thing. Nobody actually knows either way, which is often the case with small historicalcultural things. If you want to quote wikipedia to prove me wrong then go nuts but I'm right.
So season 2 started out kinda...lame. Well...really lame. So far there have been 10 episodes aired and that "really lame" feeling has vanished. The first 5 or so episodes were O.K. but nothing special, though if you had seen the un-aired ending to s…
