I actually enjoy AC: Brotherhood. Sure there's alot of shit going with lots to do but that's what i like in games..it's what keeps me coming back to them most of the time in addition to the story that's going on within the game.

had to agree with yahztee on this, but i've noticed that recycling existing games and changing some content in order to make a new game has become the virtual world equivelent reruns ala fallout new vegas and left for dead two and so on and so forth.
Well, I fucking hated that snarky British guy. Someone needs to throw him in a gasoline soaked haystack and set it on fire.
Glad I wasn't the only one who didn't much like the assassin's groupies doing all the killing for you.

I didn't even complete the DLC for AC2... even though I have it. i should really complete that first, but at point Brotherhood should be on sale.
Ah, the random but at times predictable cycle of game sales.
The main area's for exploration next that people keeping chanting for included Feudal Japan or during/post-industrial revolution. Either haven't been done that much so go for it.

I had a sneaking suspicion that he might enjoy the multi-player. Both because it's stealth based, and you don't have to talk, or listen to anyone if you don't want to.
And while I appreciated that it was a direct sequel, pretty much making it AC 2.5, I think that by now Ezio has earned his retirement. By the time this game ends he's what, in his forties? That's pretty good for the sixteenth century but his character arc feels pretty much concluded. It's either time to move on to Desmond or a new time period...or both, but leave Ezio in peace.
Agreed about the gameplay improvements. I loved that they made the combat less counter based and rewarded aggressive fighting with kill chains. And the poison dart quickly became one of my favorite ways to kill people.Delock said:

are you seriously listening to yahtzee's reviews when you are buying games? if so, you probably have like... 3 games in total? but seriously, the game is rediciusly fun and is well worth 60$
actually shaun hastings is voiced by and modelled after danny wallace, british actor:

cant be bothered to do more than that.

i would really like an AC game set in like the viking time. it's the perfect era, imaging chasing your enemies through footmarks in the snow and see guards slipping on icy roof tops. also, the assassin should wear a cape that evens the snow after you walk on it so that you leave no traces unless you sprint.
I'm sort of failing to see your point here. What have Australians got to do with anything at all in this discussion? Danny Wallace who voices Shaun in the game (as well as looking virtually identical and having a very similar personality) isn't Australian and, despite living there, nor is Yahtzee. The game isn't made in Australia either.theblackmonk90 said:
So, the game: I generally don't like multiplayer but was surprised to find that it's not as horrible as I expected and they didn't short-change the single player mode to accommodate it... so all's well there, I guess.
Loved the review. The last 2 have been aces.
What I NEED NEED NEED to know is who the hell that guy is in the pictures that he uses all the time with the "X" across his faces.
It's seriously driving me insane, I've wanted to know for eons... Please, god... WHO IS IT.. I... Must... KNOW..

Short answer: it's some guy.andsoitgoes said:
Slightly longer answer: even Yahtzee doesn't know, just some guy he found when looking for someone with a blank expression.
Complete answer: he explains it here. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-escapist-presents/1039-Live-Chat-with-Ben-Yahtzee-Croshaw
Yahtzee, have you ever seen the film "In Bruges"? 'Cause there's a bit where a guy goes into a confession and says "Forgive me father, for I have sinned.", and the priest asks him what his sin is and he says the he killed a guy for money, and the priest asks him who he killed, and he says "You, father." and kills him.
And your bit with the confessional reminded me of that.

Anyone else think that Yahtzee sounded like he had a cold ? Just something I noticed ,maybe my speakers are screwed .
Really looking forward to AC:B ,though I have to wait for my exams in school to finish ='( .
I was quite surprised he likes the multiplayer also .

As a fan of the Desmond story arc, I'd gladly play a game all about Desmond.
I love the underlying conspiracy theory plotline. I enjoy reading the damn e-mails in-game!
