That actually sort of bothers me now that I think about it. I'm not sure how long I can spend hopping from one tree to the next before it gets boring.

AHAHAHAHAHA the trailer starts off with a bald eagle flying majestically through the air

Well, Assassin's Creed does love its ominous eagles...

They're not exactly doing much to push the AMERICA, FUCK YEAH away from the pre-game advertisements are they?
I mean I'm still willing to accept that it might not be totally AMERICA FUCK YEAH in game. But it doesn't seem to be what they're going for.

god damn it ubi...The quoted trailer earlier in this thread would have been 100% better.

...

...So yeah even I have to admit that was a horribly biased trailer

Like I was honestly fully expecting Connor to take out at least one colonist there

I don't know, this is the sort of stuff you'd expect from marketing. The game might be less biased.

e: hell, I didn't even care at first but for some reason this thread got me somewhat excited about the game. And I've previously only played AC1 for like a few hours.

Maybe try ACII. It's generally accepted that ACII improved on the first game in literally every aspect. I figure it's a pretty good test of whether or not the series is right for you, much more than the first game.

...I guess regarding the whole bias thing, it's like: after America, aren't the second and third largest markets for this game England and Canada, respectively?

I mean the whole notion of pandering to American audiences makes plenty of sense if it's hypothetically, like, America vs. Belarus or something

But letting Washington give a freedom speech while Connor murders redcoats seems a silly trailer to market to London and Toronto
Do those markets like, click that link and then they see a different trailer, maybe? That'd make more sense.

EDIT: I personally believe AC2 is the best in the series (yes, better than Brotherhood or Revelations, though the latter two titles are pretty good too.) It's definitely worth playing through.

Also ahahahaha Ubisoft is there any worse language you could possibly use with Washington than "it is time to determine whether Americans are free men or slaves?"

Free men or slaves.
Yes, that is absolutely the language you want to use when America in fact totally let the enslavement of African-Americans continue for another eighty years
