    Finally! Piercing attacks in games. About time!

    Now, let's look forward to open wounds, mutilations and cutting limbs off. Cus that's really missing from grade A games like this.

    Ultra violence, let's see you visit the 9+ games, please!
    Oh yeah, and for the AC series, because it would own GTA series, if they made it past them in violence...

    I noticed that there was a moment where Ezio was chasing that guard and was just below him on a roof. wonder if you're able to grab and pull him off the roof or just tripp him to catch up during pursuit like you can while they are unaware? that would be cool.

    Thats soo awesome! Looks like they gave players the channce to fight more aggressively rather than just reactively even though i enjoyed the previous combat system. Looks like they beefed up the counter kills too.
