Remember when I said you're going to love this game? Well it's still true, but maybe even more so. Some initial impressions, no spoilers of any kind. Pure mechanics.
1. There's a rumor that this was supposed to be an Arkham game at first, and you can totally tell. The counter-tap tap tap-counter combat, the dazed enemies and "finishing" moves, all exactly pulled from Batman. Same over the shoulder view, same cape sway. I mean. Even the nemesis system coulda totally fit in with Joker's and Penguin's gangs. But all in all, that's okay. Because I love batman combat.
2. Assassin's Creed creators are trying to stir crap up because they think they stole AC elements. I call BS at this. The only thing that is even close is the "leap of faith", but even that I wouldn't have associated had they not called it out.
3. Combat is actually better than batman, and it's not the same animations. It's really hard, and extremely satisfying. You can go "wraith" mode and its kinda like a ninja gaiden powerup where you move so fast it looks like there's multiples of you. You're gonna love the combat.
4. It's M, and very M. Not an Asher game. Too much blood, and too violent. This is immediate, as soon as the game starts, horrifying things happen. No Asher.
5. Graphics, does it look good? In a word? Sure. But not great. It's kinda like the MK series where they try to overly detail a face and it just ends up looking like when an amateur draws a human portrait with a pencil. Too many details so it looks muddled. That kinda thing happens. Still think it'll look similar on PS3. That said, it doesn't look so bad that it detracts in any way.
All that said, it's just very very fun to play. People are already forgetting about Destiny.
