Also, the first Assassin's Creed will always hold a place in my heart, but I'm not too fond of how they're giving Ezio a backstory and making it more personal.
@LawlingLobstaFTW I assume you're being sarcastic, so did you not notice the large "SPOILERS AHEAD" graphic with bold exclamation points at the very beginning of the article?
A whiny fanboy, me? That's a first! I think I explain well enough how the combat and co-op are entertaining enough to make it a solid, fun game, which deserves to be called "great," but that I didn't find it mind-blowingly compelling. lol lets flam war.
"Hmm. Being an Australian gamer, I would have rather you said the Australian Government is backwards, not Australia."
Hyperbole for comedic effect. ;) I also believe that the US is incredibly backwards in many areas. In fact, I think we're full of stupid over here. No offense intended.
Hm, well, I didn't notice any balance issues. I was playing at level one, with the people who made the game, and I still came in second on a couple matches. We will see when we get to play it more comprehensively, for the review (which I'm too much of a fanboy to write).
