First time I've seen this game in motion was the trailer with Unkle's "Lonely Soul." Like every trailer, the music fits perfectly to the pace of the movement, and it looks incredibly cool ~~~~~~godknowsyourlonelysooooul~~~~~~.
On 14.11 I held this game (PS 3) in my hands, and I feel like a little boy on Christmas Eve, no time for nothing but playing. HAPPY!!
I was like " Huh ? what's going on ?" as my virtual character stands there in the middle of blue foggy somewhere, peoples passing by and vanish, all of the button pressing tips popping in, too fast to read them, then a female voice saying: " I'm losing him...!"
I love it, when games leave you completely clueless, no idea what happens next.....and then the story takes another direction, you never expected.
Brilliant!
I lol´ed in the tutorial, as I should "gently push" the pot-on-their-head-women, and made THEM ALL drop their pots, a real potty party. But Impressive to see 100 (maybe 50,I didn't count) women tripping and 100 pots smashing on the floor without a slowdown in the graphics ! This could be well used in a Futuremark-Benchmark.
"THIS IS AWESOME !" I shout against the TV, as walked up to the castle of Maysaf. So many houses, so many peoples, so much sound everywhere, and everything looks and behaves different. This kind of variety is amazing, it lets you forget, that you are playing a video game. With a lack of better words I can only say : "Wow !"
The game didn't even start, and I was blown away.
"Why not testing out my climbing abilities ?" I thought and ran against the nearest building and entered its roof. "what is he doing?" a woman asked " somebody help him, before he gets hurt!" "Hahaha, me? hurt? I am an Assassin! I hurt others !" I responed against every character I saw from up here.
The way to Damascus with a black horse was full of "Wows!" Big,big Landscape beautifully designed, as much variety as in the city before. So much attention to detail, it is breathtaking.As I ride, with X-button pressed, through the soldier camp, I though:" should i kill the all ? Hell, yes" .................the first time I died. But I sure coming back and wipe them away !
Then, after this cool blue-foggy loading screen, a few horse steps away,there was Damascus. It is sooooooo biiiiiiiiig, it won't fit on my 32" telly.In the lack of better words, to describe what I'm thinking at this moment, I say, I started to cry !
The game didn't even start, and I was more than blown away.
