    That RudyFernandez-guy is sad, probably an obsessed "Multiplayer-gamer" or whatever.
    Man, as if you have to have Multiplayer or have to be dumb to be able to enjoy Singleplay-games.
    What do you think we started out with, Multiplayer games? There used to be no internet before your time buddy...
    Sure there was offline Multiplay in some games, but it's still ridiculous reasoning.
    The point of Singleplay is to make you play a character and put you in an adventure or story.
    But I don't think you'd understand anyway, you're too obsessed by "stacking kills" and "pwning n00bs" online...
    That's what's wrong with many typical gamers today, obsessed over kills and statistics.
    I'm very glad there are still games like 'Assassin's Creed', just the type of game it is alone.

    AnubisofSumeria is pasting the same comment on every AC video. He is a epic failure

    never buy a game without multiplayer. It's not worth it! p.s. give those minuses i dont care, cause more clever ppl wont buy it.

    I love how the free-running is in this game you know.
    Not sure how I feel about the super high drops and such and then not dying.
    Even or maybe especially when falling flat to the floor and such things...
    It seems a bit too... fake or something... getting hurt so little with such a big blow to the body.
    I mean, even in 'Left 4 Dead (2)' you start to drag you limbs and such when you're hurt.
    And while this game is a bit more based on realism, this guys just runs away like almost nothing happened.
    I mean, come on!... XD

    Still a cool game though.
    Too bad I don't have a good enough system to play both the first and this one.
    Well maybe, but I bet it wouldn't look good.
    But I will play them at some point...

    By the way, that number with the "f" next to it in the bottom-left corner, is that your money?
    And also, is the currency Guilders or something?

    Looks like it's got so much more detail than it did in AC1. Looking forward to this... Awesome how you can hire hookers and thieves to help you, and change the colour of your armour... sweet.

    8/10's ok for me. Yeah, I have low standards.

    ok i got this game and you all know what its like dont you, well you might think its perfect but after playing it you will soon realise it has bad framerate after your a few hours in.. screen tearing when you ride through the country side.. and the annoying thing of ezios arm going through his cape when he sprints, climbs etc... I mean if i was at ubisoft seeing that i'd be like thats got to be fixed SOON AS, they blind or just fed up with the project now?? sorry but theres loads a things they could of fixed.. game deserves no more than a 8/10 period.

    @#%@&ing A does that Kevin guy suck @$$ at playing this game.

    My god some of you are still complaining about Kevin's game playing I see nothing wrong with Kevin's game playing look it's a 40 min video with a limit to how much they will show us Kevin spend almost 20 min running from guards instead of taking the roof tops just to waste some time so Kevin is playing as some of you are saying bad or sucks but I don't think so. If Kevin was playing the way he knows they have to show us more then they want to like how to assassinate this guy.Even after seeing DaVinci Kevin wasted some more time. So come on lay off Kevin this game is almost out enjoy playing the game

    I agree with gamerjedi he is pretty good with his hidden blade and hands if u ask me.Incase all of u forgot the game creator said in the 1st Ac1 Altair was more of a worrier then an assasins so they made combat MUCH harder well 2x harder espeically in the beggining when u have low health and only fist which in AC1 if u played the 1st block replay and had only 4syncronizing bar beating up a guard with ur fist was almost impossible espeically 4at once(which kevin always faced) soooooo ya in the beggining in the game its hard o and btw his notority was COMPLETLY RED so if guards EVEN SAW HIM they would chase after him(u can do notority missions to lower it) so dont blame kevin if u think he suks do not look at his combat look at his free running and stuff then judge cuz thats the thing that matters in the beggining of the game when ur weak in combat LIKE COMPLETLY WEAK-i refer to the 1st memery block thing

    Guys just so you know Assassins Creed 2 has already been voted the best game of 09 so COD MW2 Can just give up compared to this new amazing series. Its been voted the game of the year by E3 and almost every country its being sold like TGS(Japan country #1 GOTY) and others

    how did Kevin get to the ending? it must have taken him forever being chased by guards all the time.
    LOL

    well, if flying over vencie is one of the more fun missions in this game.. it can't have much in store.. That didn't look so much of fun when shown at E4! Sorry I was so hyped over the first game and was so dissed.. so I don't have any expecations at all over this game. I sure hope they don't make another game that plays the same all thru the mainquest.. The first game got way to high scores almost everywhere.. when it shouldn't have. It was soo linear, it looked good and everything but that doesn't matter when a game is the same from start to finnish.
    More figthing and less climbing towers and pickpocketing thx!

    C'mon guys, Kevin was just distracted by the bewildered yet supple looking sean mckinnis. though I would have rather seen random crowd punching, oh heck, maybe it's hard mode.

    I totally agree with all the people that Kevin SUCKS!!!!! A am really looking forward to this game though. The other guy though, I think his name is Sean or something, said in his blog the first game sucks. Then he says his counter-question to one guy was why he didn't play AC 1 before!!!!! How much did they pay him to throw his opinion to the wind??? Anyway this game looks awesome, and will be a competitor with MW2 for Game of the Year.
