To Live and Die in Venice

It’s here! It has come. I must admit that I’ve been looking forward to Assassin’s Creed II. Despite all its flaws, I fell completely in love with the first one. From what’s I’ve heard, this sequal is supposed to address most of the stuff that Assassin’s Creed did poorly. I haven’t tried it out yet, but I have a few wishes:

• Less repetition. Oh my God Assassin’s Creed was repetitive. There were like five mission types, and they were repeated over and over again. I loved the game, but I hated the repetition. When I’m done with a mission, I want to experience somethin new!
• Lose the American accent. What is the deal with the main character being the only one around with a terrible American accent? I know the guy in the dream machine thing was American, but in medieval Jerusalem it just sounds weird.
• Actually be an assassin. What kind of assassin kills a guy openly in the middle of a crowd, kills off 15 guards, and then runs for his life with half the town on his tail? That’s just stupid! I want more stealth. Last I checked, assassins tend to attack from the shadows.
• Blue, glowing, transparent walls. Memory loss, I get the idea. It still looks unappealing.
• Could medieval man swim? Many probably didn’t know how to. But a badass assassin probably wouldn’t sink like a rock.

Although, I do like the idea of good ol’ Leonardo da Vinci as my personal Q.

From what I’ve seen in gameplay videos and screenshots, the game looks most delicate. I have no doubts getting my hands on it. And when I’ve actually played it, I’ll make very sure to let you all know what I think of it. Yes, I know; my opinion is your holy grail of digital entertainment.
