    "Your Worshipfulness" always made me crack up a little bit.

    Basically, the best thing about Star Wars is Han fucking Solo

    His ad-lib in the Death Star detention bay was pretty amazing.

    I imagine Harrison is a large part of it - after all, one of the most memorable scenes in Raiders was improvised because he was too sick to do the long, drawn-out fight that they wanted.

    You know...I'm not sure. Does the game look hilarious, like it's actually funny, or does the promotional material look hilarious because the game is so bad? Sometimes those are really different things.

    mostly the concept behind the game's storyline and its execution in the promotional material

    I don't know anything about the quality of the actual game yet

    I like the part where the guy is talking about how high art like Dante's Inferno should be explored in video games, and then it's just a generic beat-em-up and it says "GO TO HELL" on the screen and some buff dude slams a cross into a skeleton's head. Skull.

    a game can draw from other texts without being a ham-fisted adaptation

    I mean, they didn't call bioshock "AYN RAND 3D ADVENTURES: IT'S AN UNDERWATER RAPIST'S WORLD"

    to be fair Bioshock was a lot better than anything Ayn Rand did

    Man, now that I think about it, all the best lines in Star Wars were by Han in moments that didn't seem very rehearsed.

    Well, that and Darth Vader's lines. But that was the acting that sold those, not the lines themselves.

    1) That's like saying it's the tastiest thing in a pile of shit.

    2) The climbing animations, like most of the game's animations, were great. The climbing gameplay was bland and boring, like most of the other gameplay systems. Really, most climbing was just holding the "up" direction for like 30-90 seconds while looking at a stone wall. Although that's practically the only time the game got anywhere even close to 30 FPS.

    Yeah the amount that they streamlined the climbing was cool in theory, until you realize that it removes every last bit of depth and satisfaction from moving around. They may as well have just let you pick a waypoint on the map and have him run there for you automatically. Mirror's Edge did the visceral climbing right.

    I also really didn't like how "gamey" all the environments were. Every mission consists of nothing more than running around the city looking for the same handful of minigames on the map until you can start the assassination. The same interactive objects were repeated again and again - if you see a bale of hay it's a place you can do a nosedive, if you see a gazebo it's a place to hide from guards, etc etc. Once the freshness of it wears off the immersion is gone and the game never does anything new again.

    And apparently they're fixing that in AC2, and the missions will be less repetitive.

    As for me, I'm just ready to stab some guards in slo-mo.

    The climbing animations were the most frustrating part of the game.

    They paint him as some brilliant acrobatic climber but all he can do is just reach higher, I kept playing the game wanting him to do footstalls and actually move his centre of gravity around or use some core strength to reach higher.

    Saying that if you want to see some incredibly animation for crack climbing go play the new Prince of Persia (do not play this game if you wish to have fun).
