I don't really play video games. I can, but for one I don't own any kind of system and I'd rather do this stuff in reality (throwing tomahawks, Hand to hand, Primitive archery, free running, etc.). However this game seems pretty cool.
The coat actually seems to blend in on this one. And I am digging the bow and quiver even if they are on the wrong side.
I aspire to do that stuff in real life, save for arboreal parkor (madness!), but even though I can’t play videogames to save my life I like some games, Assassin’s Creed among them, and I’m kinda psyched for this game. And hey. HEY. Assassins can carry their quiver on whichever shoulder they want.
As far as the hawk goes, I can’t imagine that it would be any good for wood, but for a war hawk maybe it would be lighter/cheaper? Metal was expensive back then, but really I have no idea. I am sure that it was just designed to look cool. Make no mistake, there will be wannabees.
Ah, it’s alright, CA. I know the wound still stings…
Maybe we can talk it out over tea later, I promise not to throw mine in a harbor or anything.
I would actually be interested to see the US set up as the bad guys somewhere along the line. After all, the Assassin in that trailer was half Mohawk. God knows we were terrible to the Native Americans. I’m hoping for an expansion pack in which we get to assassinate Andrew Jackson. But sorry, friend, the British Empire was clearly controlled by Templars (the bad guys in the series).
Great series, guys, loads of fun, but this is a sequel. It may just be fun to run around killing people in colonial era America, but it you don’t at least read a plot summary of the previous games, you’re going to be lost. You have been warned.
