Quick Look: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

DA.

This game just got me into playing Assassin's Creed. Gonna start this weekend :D

Ryan sounds shockingly psyched

That reminds me of Facebook games with the whole management thing.  Probably what the inevitable mobile game will be.
 
What did that horse do to you?

I am still not seeing what makes this game "incredible". Please, someone inform me!

Better than AC2?! Call me excited. We may have a strong contender for GOTY right here.

YESSSSS!!!! 50m of AC:Brotherhood? What a great day :)  Game is awesome btw.  I'm only an hour in but I'm noticing a lot of small but much welcome little improvements.

Why must you insist on making me feel obligated to play this game? I didn't even like the story in the last one! I don't want to have to do another one already! But this looks so cool! GAAAAAH

You could make sandwiches out of how good this game looks.

FINALLY a quick look xD Slow week guys? c:

How does Vinny not know who the Borgias were?  The venal, beautiful, brutal Rennaisance aesthetes who cynically ran the papacy with naked realpolitik and whose fumbling of Italian unification helped drive the Reformation?

Hell yes, can't wait to pick this one up. I agree with Vinny though, bad marketing on Ubisoft's part.

Also, too bad I won't S rank it this time. Can't see myself play the multiplayer that much.

50 minutes?  Damn, I'll have to watch this later tonight for tomorrow.

i'm one minute in and i've decided it... I am buying this game tommrow

Ryan's love affair with Assassin's Creed is interesting to note. Every review I've read of Brotherhood says it's solid, but pretty much just more of the same after AC II. Yet one of the first things Ryan says is that it's flat out "amazing".
 
I definitely want to play this, but it'll probably be a rental.

Reminds me of the army management in Peace Walker.

You don't have to. 'Incredible' isn't a thing that you have to look for. It's subjective. "

IGN gave it an 8.0. Not enough of the new, more of the same they said. I would give AC2 an 8, not sure what this would deserve.

Something to watch while eating my dinner :).

hell, the first minute of this quick look convinced me to buy this on amazon, which netted me a $15 credit for my next game AND i only paid $39 because of the promo credit i already had for NFS:Hot Pursuit (which i'm lovin BTW) ...i love buyin games on Amazon, lemme tell ya.

Wow this game looks awesome. Loved the first 2 AC games and this one looks just as good if not more. Using other assassins to do your killing looks like sadistic fun (impression I got from Ryan's snigger). 

Damn, now I really need to get around playing the second one.

I just finished a speed run of AC 2, and I have Brotherhood sitting on my desk. Can't wait to play it later tonight. Also, Rome! Just the thought of walking around in digital Rome makes this architect major really giddy.

My mind is blown. I need this!

Wow. I am totally sold on this game now. It is just like Fable, only with story and fun combat. Also: Ryan & Vinny are the kings of epic quick looks.

Good thing I watched Inception yesterday. :P

Ryan saying this is better than 2 has me very excited!

Sure, but are you seeing the reason why Ryan would think this game is "incredible"? That is more along the lines of what I was asking. I watched the entire video to try and figure it out, but I could not find it. "

" Damn it. I was just heading to bed and then this shows up. I was just playing the first minute to see who's in it and sure enough it's Vinny and (of course) Ryan. Fuck! Now I have to watch the whole thing. Damn it. "

" Good thing I watched Inception yesterday. :P "

Crap.
I'm gonna have to spend some money, cause this looks pretty damned good

Loved Ryan's excitement and I'm so stoked for the game now. Thanks Ryan and Vinny

The henchman thing reminds me of The Godfather 2.  That game was awesome.

man I wish I didnt watch this.   
 
mega spoilers.   
 
(yes I know I shouldnt be watching a QL if i care about spoilers)

Vinny just had me in stitches as the assassination victim. "Aww, my focking kidney!" 
I've rewound that part about 5 times.

Really looking forward to this. I loved AC2.

Damn. is there an Inception spoiler in this Quick Look!? "

 
the counter is the head shot of the assassin creed world. 
why bother with any other attack if the counter kills in one hit.

God I want this game right now.

The whole management of a team of assassins looks very nice although the coolest part of that seems to be the ability to call them into fights when needed and that reminded me a lot of the system allowing you to get  resistance fighter support in The Saboteur. 
From just watching the QL, a lot of this new stuff reminded me of gameplay elements already seen in that game. I was actually surprised how complex some of that stuff was in The Saboteur, but it didn't seem to be as popular with most people as it was with me.
Anyway, great video, thanks guys!

Damnit! i am not this far in the game but i cannot resist watching.. cant.. not.. watch 
 
ah well my insanely short memory and A.D.D will make me forget all this by tomorrow anyways

Goddamn I need to get AC2 and this in my life.

I rather disliked the first Assassin's Creed after I played it, so when the second one came out I paid no attention to it at all. However, after watching this quick look, I might have to buy Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Although I still don't care for the whole science fiction aspect behind the series.

Good to see the singleplayer is looking great, I've tried to avoid hearing too much info as I knew I was getting it anyway, beta just left a very good impression on me.
 
And again, thanks for delaying the TNT, would of been a shame to miss out due to our stupid release dates.
