I got the impression from his thoughts that he enjoyed the game -- and the story in particular -- more than I did, but it reminds me that my "reviews" might sound too negative when I focus on deconstruction over recommendation. I really did enjoy AC2, but like other humans, become agitated when there is a disconnect between my tastes and popular opinion. (Why?)
The only comment he made that I felt like following up on regards the "competence" of the band of assassins. Like Ethan, I was comfortable with the idea that each member had a different role and skill level, but the scene where all of them met at the top of a tower and took turns leaping -- arms outstretched and head first -- 100 ft. downward into the hay (presumably) really blew up that feeling.
Yeah, I can see that. I just let it slide with my own assumption that that may be the one thing they were all capable of. ; )
ReplyDeleteAnd what do you know, it's letting me post a comment here again. Maybe the AC2 one was too long? It turned out better in a full post, anyway, though.
Thanks for the link. : )
Oh, and also because to me them being able to do the Leap of Faith isn't all that much more ridiculous than Ezio and Altair being able to do it. It's a ridiculous stunt to begin with, so my disbelief was already suspended. : )
ReplyDeleteHa. It's awesome to see what "goes too far" for other people. Thanks for all the comments!
