@Life Between Naps: I thoroughly enjoy jumping into a game as a character with an already established reputation, such as The Lost and Damned in GTA4, as Johnny.

In Mass Effect, you can even choose your background (War Hero, Orphan, Child of Famous Parents). And it actually effects people's opinions of you.

@sentroshi: Its the animus at full power.

@Sl0th: Yea but there must also be some limit to those background history, to keep some mistery to the characters.

@ShoopDaBoofs: Political correctness is also for those who understand that words express much more than narrow meanings.

@HELLSRIDER is playing Mother 3: There were like 3 different types of missions that needed to be done throughout the whole game and each time it was exactly the same. I loved the engine, i loved the physics, i loved the graphics and the environment just the repetition made it so mind numbingly boring i couldn't actually bring myself to complete it. It was just 1 small thing but it really broke the game experience.

@emwurst: Not working for me either, but it's up on GameTrailers:

@dethklokso: RIP Billy. RIP.

@Pyrefly: Dont get hwy it was repetitiv, I never got bored of it at all, seriously its true that some people will just complain because others say it is.

@Sl0th: I couldnt help but laugh sorry dude, on the other hand thanks for the video.

@StriderShinryu: Or another countdown, Kojima is good at that :P

@Dayvie: Speaking of which, it doesn't help all that much when the comment in question only has one vowel to be removed. -_-

@dethklokso: Comment of the week :)

@Sl0th: Thanks for the link!

Markus

@DaveStrife: Now it's a blank slot, next it will be a countdown clock. Once the countdown finishes, we'll see.. another blank slot.

@dethklokso:
"CANADIANSILV3R's ability to comment is not enabled."

Thank god for that, it's getting tiring to see "FIRST" "Second" with little content. Of course, it won't make a difference. They'll still lose their accounts.

Krigo

@(Zombie) Jolan: Yeah Crecente, it doesn't matter how ominous you were trying to sound, it's still a question.

Since the video isn't loading, it's up on GT right now.

this Post has major problems loading and can we ban the first 2 bozos that felt they needed to tell the world that their 1st and 2nd in the comments...?

I can't see the video here and at the website its slow as hell even with my fastest DSL from AT&T. Anyhow I loved Assassins Creed 1 so a little repetition won't bug me too much but I doubt that will happen judging from the videos I've already seen.

@Alterran: Thanks mate!

Trekka

Watched it on the Assassin's Creed website. Quite an interest insight to the backstory and the different between this character and the one from AC1. I also like the continued theme of their names been related to "The Flying One"

Emiat

@CANADIANSILV3R: BILLY MAYS HERE! do you like "FIRST!"? then you're going to LOVE "SECOND!" Its Just like "First" but afterwards! but wait thats not all! call now and recieve a "THIRD!" absolutley free. So you get the "SECOND!", and a "THIRD!" all for the price of one! Call in the next fifteen minutes and we'll include a Complementary "First!" with your order!

@czarscream:

@emwurst: Dude while your at it, can you make me a croissant sammich Crecente?

A crecente sammich croissant.....
Croissante?

@BossVersion1: Political correctness is for tree hugging pussies.

ShoopDaBoofs

@emwurst: Chalk one more for the no vid column :(

Esper mind tricks

@czarscream: I love how these comments will always get more replies than a well though out and well written comment. You all realize you are just feeding the troll right? (Yes I know I'm adding to it now too :P )

@CANADIANSILV3R: Less, but not that much less. You are still going to get hammered.

Esper mind tricks

@emwurst: This post is relevant to my interests.

@czarscream: Buh-bye!

nukee

@(Zombie) Jolan: Why you gotta make fun of the gays. >: /

@DarCowAlways:
It does kind of seem like it was fated to fail from the start doesn't it?

(Not that this isn't newsworthy, Crecente, just that the vid is broke and there's a couple of d-bags at the top that thought they were clever.)

@DaveStrife:

Hey, DaveStrife.

Have you heard about Counter Strike 2? No, me neither.

Harharhar.

@czarscream: Your first and last...

Esper mind tricks

@hondo: It's a new form of teaser, gives you nothing. Valve are pretty good at it with Episode 3.

DaveStrife

@mitch_93: The Banhammer seems to have lost some of it's banhammeryness.
These seem to be the days of the Disemvowelment, which lacks the 'kick-up-the-ass umpth' that came with the Banhammer.

Disemvowelment is failing. We need a comment filtered revolution!

This post has problems.

All i need is for the game to not be as repetitive and add more variety and then this game will have WIN written all over it.

@emwurst: Oh I thought it was just me, I'm on my third refresh, I gave up read comments n thankfully it turns out it's not just me.

@czarscream: And your last.

DaveStrife

@hondo: These Kotaku fellows are full of lies.

@Sl0th: The irony hurts. T_T

WooAH! The greyness is gone! It's gone entirely white! The graphics ARE better! ... :(

@czarscream: These are always fun.

@Sl0th: Found the video here:

@(Zombie) Jolan: It should also be 'its' not 'it's' =p

@czarscream: DERP!

dethklokso

@(Zombie) Jolan: Beat me to it. :'(

@emwurst: What sort of tease is this? I don't get a clip ether!

@emwurst: Banhammer up the arse it is!

mitch_93

... well that was amusing. Didn't know staring at a blank video would be so NOT FUN!

@emwurst:

I endorse this statement.

I always find it interesting when a development team takes the time to create a backstory for their characters that may or may not have something to do with the actual game.

Creating characters that have a life outside of what is seen in the game displays a refreshing sense of attention to detail and goes a long way towards making the character more relatable.

As a writer, I like feeling that the character I'm playing as has more depth to it. It's nice to think, "Before this guy woke up today, he was doing something that I might have done."

Interesting stuff, Ubi.

@emwurst:

yep same here

Rene Rubio Carrillo

I want it. Too bad I already used my money buying FF13 and BL

The video isn't loading for me, Brian Crecente.

I can't right click it, I don't know what website to go to... help a fellow out.

emwurst

Well I for one do not care where my comment goes numerically speaking. AC2 is shaping up nicely. Also the last sentence should end in a question mark, not a period.

@czarscream: 1ST CMMNT!
More like worst comment.

@BossVersion1: he's gonna get hammered in the ass.
BANhammered.

@CANADIANSILV3R: actually any comment that serves only to mention its numerical position is pretty gay and disemvowel worthy.

@CANADIANSILV3R: Using the word "gay" as derogatory and claiming to be second? You better believe that's a paddlin'.

BossVersion1

@czarscream:

why god why!!!

Rene Rubio Carrillo

2nd cmmnt, nd fr lss gy.

@czarscream: You win a prize!

emwurst

@czarscream: This won't end well. ._.

1ST CMMNT!

@czarscream: I can't wait to watch the banhammer fall. go back to the ign and gamespot forums.
