Today's rudest video: Altair is kind of a jerk

Okay, seriously, what is this guy's problem? Nobody's bothering him. Nobody's even touching him. Yet for some reason the "hero" of Assassin's Creed just thinks he can push other people around.
Luckily for Altair, it's always funny to watch people get physically harassed for no reason. Tiny glitch in the "shoving past crowds" mechanic of the game? Most likely. Hilarious for its incidentally perfect comic timing? Most definitely. Just don't try this at your local mall.

I feel like this should be remixed with some dance music. Altair doesn't look rude to me, he's just building up his groove meter.

Movie wont load for me, don't know why. I have flash and everything for other vids.
So it is just a big black box on my screen, which, could very well signify a jerk! So I guess he must be!
blehh @ Nov 20th 2007 12:20AM
gamevideos.com is down for the moment
Purple Haze @ Nov 20th 2007 12:21AM
Yeah I got a big black box to. Did Altair get a makeover?
Brello @ Nov 20th 2007 12:25AM
Yep, everyone gets a big black box until gamevideos gets back online.

Big Black Box..of DOOM.
The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Nov 20th 2007 1:20AM
BBB is to GameTrailers as RROD is to Xbox 360 (no offense intended)
Your Ad here 555-1923 @ Nov 20th 2007 1:28AM
Oh,I get it but I like to add "Of doom" to everything and in this case it kind of needs it.I mean in the Red ring of Dead you have "of dead" telling you that the red ring is bad.
In this case I thought "of doom" would be appropriate but I was ignoring the fact that this issue had an official name.
Micheal82 @ Nov 20th 2007 1:51AM
So GameTrailers got the BBBOD. It not as catchy as RROD but it will do.

Umm replay it and complete it 100%?
I mean cmon surely you dont have all the flags... do you? O_o
ColossalHat @ Nov 20th 2007 1:18AM
Sign off your PSN and most of the framerate/freezing issues will go away, just found that out this evening.
Your Ad here 555-1923 @ Nov 20th 2007 1:18AM
Since you finished the game, can you tell me if it gets better in the middle or something? So far I kind of hate it.
I was going to play it this weekend but Team fortress 2 is way too addictive.
Also I’m the only one disappointed with the limited Edition?, I got my poster and everything but the Mini-Guide is more like an ad and it wasn’t really helpful ¬¬
gonk @ Nov 20th 2007 2:15AM
well if you don't like it after the 3rd assassination, sorry. the game is pretty much the same, you just get a bit better at combat and the (awesome) story unfolds more
MasterCKO @ Nov 20th 2007 4:14AM
I'm working on my 5th assassination now. Man, I am LOVING this game.
What do you get by picking up flags, btw?
Silent Xenocide @ Nov 20th 2007 11:31AM
Beat the game the other day. Ending was rather disappointing, and there isn't much replay value unless finding flags is extremely entertaining for you. But it was pretty fun the first play through and seems to have a good story so far.
gonk @ Nov 20th 2007 12:05PM
the flags are just for achievements, same as the templars
but at least killing the templars was fun :) i went back after beating it to finish the rest of em off
and there are some flags that are pretty hard to get to, so if you like platforming then some can be challenging to get
Sara @ Nov 20th 2007 1:32AM
Altair's a jerk?
And here I was, thinking that assassins and mercenaries are supposed to be cuddly and lovable.
xGeneral DEATHx @ Nov 20th 2007 10:13AM
LOL! The way his crappy voice acting came off, I thought of him as a bit of an ass from the get-go. Did anyone else not enjoy this game as much? I'm in the same boat as Your Ad Here, it just didn't keep me interested for very long.
Shiro @ Nov 20th 2007 6:38AM
You guys got a big black box? Damn. Mine is an unweighted companion cube box.
ageary @ Nov 20th 2007 7:30AM
This has to be the funniest bug I have seen so far

ALH @ Nov 20th 2007 7:53AM
hahaha, that is amazing
I once encountered a woman walking round in circles in AC, gave her a little push to get her out of whatever loop she was trapped in
in a kind assassin :(
Clack @ Nov 20th 2007 10:15AM
Some perv dev probably had a Jade Raymond npc on that crate in an early beta.
LD22 @ Nov 20th 2007 1:14PM
1) Cut a hole in the box.
2) Put your junk in that box.
3) Start fucking the box.

So far I have only seen a guard randomly disappearing into the floor.
Ethan @ Nov 20th 2007 7:42AM
Dang that was amusing.
Hang on, Dang?
Burnt Meatloaf @ Nov 20th 2007 7:56AM
I like how after a while, they only make a small advance, and Altair only has to raise his arm a *small* amount to get them to back off.
"NO! NO! NO... n.... n...........
...n...
...NO!!!"
Brian @ Nov 20th 2007 11:52AM
I've got a whole bag of NO! where that came from. n!
serotoninzero @ Nov 20th 2007 8:12AM
I don't know why but I couldn't stop laughing that whole video.
deABREU @ Nov 20th 2007 8:04AM
It looked more like he was trying to touch people's breasts and them kept backing away.
Clasifyd @ Nov 20th 2007 8:22AM
Agreed. This should be relabeled "Altair is kind of a sexual predator". Can't blame the guy, though. Just wants to get his feel on.
Obie @ Nov 20th 2007 8:21AM
Haha, that cracked me up. That poor guy on the right, he needs to stand up for himself!
Brandon @ Nov 20th 2007 8:34AM

Next on his to-do list: a rousing game of "Why you hittin' yourself?"

hey.. dont be mean.. i think he just has a little bit of an OCD problem.. at least he doesnt need to touch every lamp post as he runs by them.
Poisoned Al @ Nov 20th 2007 2:21PM
A Monk reference for a monk! GENIUS! YOU WIN THREE INTERNETS!
ogvor @ Nov 20th 2007 11:35AM
Yeah, I did that in the game. Also afraid to admit I punched some beggars so they'd stop pestering me...
gonk @ Nov 20th 2007 12:08PM
there's an achiement for that

rikimaru @ Nov 20th 2007 2:36PM
I am loving this game so far. It is the ultimate 'screw around' game. So much fun just climbing on things and bothering people.
Plus when you actually progress, it's fantastic.
Joe @ Nov 20th 2007 8:02PM
so much for a stealth game. I LIKE being chased, and I would lead the gaurds to tall buildings, and one by one, just grab and push them off. I've beaten the game already.
It was fun but while it got a low score by some reviewers because it gets repetitive, THAT'S actually the reason i like it. you get to repeat the fun stuff over and over again. i love beating up people to get info, and pick pocketing thieves for knives, and pushing angry drunks off the dock before they push me.
anyone here ever got pushed by some of the schizophrenic ppl and angry drunks and think "what a fucking asshole!" i know they're not real, but they actually piss me off as if they are. every so often, i'm TRYING to be stealthy, and they jsut walk up to you and shove you!!!
my favorite part is just walking to some random passing guard that's not at all in my way... and just stab him. i don't need a reason. and the guards for the most part are easy enough and FUN enough to beat up. and they don't keep coming, so you beat up 5-10, and you're safe again. that is until another guard arrives to investigate. then i walk up to him lookin all innocent before STABBING HIM TOO!!!. i love it when you're suppose to save citizens from abusive guards and accidently slash them a few times during battle.
i really really liked this game, and the story.
Up next: Uncharted. i'm starting it now!
