I loved the first AC on my ps3 BUT I missed one thing.. Sure all gamedevelopers talks about giving the player a realistic gameplay and so on but I don't understand why they don't put in some dismemberment countermoves in AC2 like I hoped they would...

This game IS M rated and are for 18+ as it sais on my AC1 box so that is not a problem.. It seems that dismemberment is as scary as naked skin in games? I think that a BIG part of the "realistic" gameplay is gone with the wind if there is no, like i have said.. Dismemberment...

I mean.. A part of this game IS about killing people, alot if you want to so i find it very annoying..

What do you guys think? Dismemberment in AC3 or not?

It would be cool to have dismemberment in future games but that probably wont happen. They will most likely follow the trend that AC1 and 2 and not put dismembermebt in AC3. But I could be wrong. If they put guns, we might see some.

Well, not just dismemberment but more realistic stuff like when you take that big hammerliked weapon from a guard in AC2 and hit him in the head, shouldnt the helmet be scrapples afterwards? When I start to think about it there is much thats NOT realistic...

its a shame. Sure I love AC, its not that but ezio can climp in a realistic way, use the crowd in a realistic way, fight in a realistic way.. But where is the realistic wounds? cutwounds and such Im little dissapointed. I mean, the technology in games the past years have exploded in better graphs, physics and stuff but is it forbidden to have dismemberment in a realistic game or what? Dead space has it (because of all monsters?) starwars has it (because its not realistic enough?) Dead rising has it(if im thinking of the right game) because theres just zombies?

I mean, is it really that scary to put in dismemberments in form of cutting the weaponhand off and stuff like that? I say its not that realistic when you slash a guy a couple of times and the blood is spraying but no wounds/cuts? Sure you could brake legs in AC1 but no more.. Altough its m rated it feels very VERY censoured.

got to remember its still a video game...

Ofc but what would you say if you saw a 2009 gangstermovie (example) and there is much shooting in it and everytime somone get shot you don't see any marks on him that indicate that hes been shot? Or a warmovie. Would the experience be the same and would people just say "Well its just a movie "?

it's not a gore game like God of War,
you're an Assassin you don't have to go a make all youre victims swim a blood pool...

the point of the game it's make the world look real, even tough Ezio is a more violent guy i think gore is out of context...

the guards also wear armour

armour yes, so why not put in some marks on them when you try to hit them with a sword?

i just dont see it happening ever

I don't even want it to happen, I just don't see how it could be realistic in a game about assassins.

Gotta say meh at your Ezio climbs realistic.

He's way to fast now, in half the videos he's leaping up over and over in some sort of super climb fashion.

The biggest problem with dismemberment is the technical restriction. When you want to have dismemberment in a game, you need to make models for each part of the body, so it make like 5 to 6 times more models in the same area.

Fallout 3 has it and if you look on a body, you can easly see the separation mark between the body parts. But in fallout, the dismemberment is perfectly match with the combat system.

In an AC game, dismemberment would just be a gorish unnecessary and kind of silly element.

maybe they dont want to ruin it for australians

Dismemberment wasn't really common in a battle during the Renaissance, you don't read very often about people loping off another person's head.
There are several case of a mob getting a hold of a dead body and displaying the torn off parts around the city (a leg there and half a head on the wall, etc)
but it wasn't all to common in battle. And Ezio is an Assassin, though he's more brutal than Altair, its not that easy to just cut a limb off (especially with armor on) and I doubt Ezio is SOOO consumed by vengeance that he's going to stand around to hack a guy's arm off

dismemberment isnt all that realistic anyway... not for ezio. maybe if you had some beastly two handed sword and swung it as hard as you could there would be. but the way ezio will fight (at least i think) is more about just killing efficiently and with a bit of flare. not to cause your enemy as much pain as possible

Haha i was thinking about this post earlier tonight when i was just massacring people on Prototype.

Some how when i blow a guy to bits with a rocket launcher his rib cage and spin survive

I'm Australian. What is that supposed to mean?

He was reffering to Australia's tough rating system.

I don't get it lol.

Our country does'nt let many games that have pretty mature content. Fallout 3 had to have the drugs removed from it for it to be allowed classifaction. Left 4 Dead 2 is'nt allowed in, neither was a Silent Hill game (think it was Homecoming, can't remember). Our classification board is pretty tough.
