I was all over this until the last 5 seconds of the video which then made me throw up in my mouth a little.
 
I'm still intrigued by this game nonetheless.

Technically it doesn't matter what character you play as because your really just playing as some Templar in the Animus.

...And they certainly don't let you forget it. It's why I cannot stand these games, because the fiction they're trying overly hard to sell you is the least interesting part of the game, and plagued with absurd, on-the-nose pretensions.

This is bullshit.  The harlequin is in the game, but since it's not in every persons character choice due to the exclusivity, you can't expect him to be a player all the time.  It instantly makes it that much more desirable because you have an extra level of stealth since players can't know for sure if someone else is playing as one or not.  That's borderline game-breaking and basically selling an over-powered item.

AGAIN the ESRB rating up front says it contains sexual themes but all I see is people getting stabbed.  Someone over at ESRB needs to have sex explained to them.  What it is NOT is stabbing people with knives.

Im pretty sure the rating details are related to the actual game and not trailer contents.

Yeah, just watch the Quick Look. It obviously shows what characters were taken pre-match.

Man, whoever's in charge of making trailers at Ubisoft, minus that one weird fake relationship counselling one, deserves a fucking raise.  
 
Ever since the Assasins Creed II trailer with Genesis playing in the background... top notch shit!

No, this game isn't even about Desmond, it is following Ezio's story further, Desmond is out of the Animus after AC2, none of the Assassin's are people in the Animus in this game. It is a spin off and continuation of Ezio's story.

But I thought Ryan hinted at Desmond playing a small role in the single player during one of the previous Bombcasts. Maybe I found that info somewhere else? Then again, it could just be a bad case of wishful thinking for a narrative sneak peak at what's to come in ACIII.

Pretty fuckin' cool actually. Music was a rip-off of like a Rob Zombie/Justice style, but it was still sick. Too bad I'll just have to wait 'til this character becomes dlc.

Besides the point that I dont like all that preorder stuff either ... thats not how it works. There are only X models for players/npcs on a map at any given time. Most likely if you play as this character he will be one of the models on the map. What that tells us is that he is on the disc to begin with. 
 
The second possibility could be that only you see yourself as him, and everyone else sees you as some other model ... but I doubt that.

ESRB has been on my shit list of a long time. I can understand some of their ratings but a lot of the time, one little event results in them declaring the entire game is like that.
