Firstly:
Who the hell sanctioned the release of this footage? It looks like a 3 year
old was playing it and confused it for Unreal Tournament. No sneaking,
missing from 3 feet away with the bow, constant use of gas & fire arrows.
Bouncing off walls.
American accents? Totally out of place. Haven't cringed as much since
Costner played Robin Hood.
Combat? Yeah, dumbed down alright : you'd need to be dumb to want to play
this game. In part of the footage a gas arrow blinds a guard "Oh my god I'm
blinded". He then procedes to run straight at you. Two arrows to the face
and he still attacks hitting you with his sword before wandering off again.
Terrible.
What the hell has been done to this game? I was *so* looking forward to it
and despite the naysayers was sure it would be great. So far, from this
footage, it looks like total garbage.
BTW, no aiming reticule in 3rd person mode?
