And Deus Ex, from what, ten years ago, has at least 80,000 in just one lanaguage. Isn't it funny how game designers like to hype up the size/scale/innovation of their games, yet in almost all cases, we have seen nothing but regression in everything but raw number-crunching? #assassinscreed2

@searanox: in assassin's creed 2's defense i'm sure that's because, like the original, it's 12-18 gameplay hours shorter than deus ex. #assassinscreed2

That's a lot but is the quality on par with Uncharted 2? #assassinscreed2

Holy crap you're a bunch of whiny little shits, just skip the things if you don't want to watch them, mkay?

Some of us like this sort of thing, it's nice to play through a difficult mission, then relax to some well written/animated cutscenes afterwards to take in the story and setting more.

I bet you're the same type of people who called Uncharted 2 a movie, yet didn't bother to look at the cutscene list on the menu and realise each one was 1 or 2 minutes long, the longest of which was 4 minutes.

It absolutely baffles me that people can be so impatient and twitchy, that they can't sit through a cutscene, I mean how do you watch movies? Reminds me of going to the cinema's with friends who are smokers, getting up every 15 minutes to have a puff and then complaining that the movie was bad even though they missed 30% of it.

/rant over. #assassinscreed2

3 hours of cut scenes really isn't that much when compared to MGS4 which had a single cut scene that was 1.5 hours. #assassinscreed2

@OmegaSpartan08: As long as you actually listen to what is going on it isn't confusing at all. Up until 4 i had only passively been interested in the games and i fully understood the story of 4, i never understand how people get so confused about it. #assassinscreed2

@Pyrefly: i helps to play the 3 previous Metal Gear Solids, actually you NEED to have played the old games to understand the game. and to clear things up, it isn't confusing to me, only confusing to those who are ignorant of MGS's backstory. #assassinscreed2

@deanbmmv: Funny thing is that I reacted the complete other way when I saw his comment. I thought he was implying that 3 hours wasn't enough and he was cancelling because he wanted more cutscenes.

Your logic makes more sense though dean #assassinscreed2

@Hyperion45: haha, I never saw it that way. Glass half full, glass half empty eh?
I guess as many comments seem to be "3hours of cutscene, its as bad as MGS4" it seemed he was implying that it's too long.
For me it seems a perfect length of cutscene given AC1's length. #assassinscreed2

The big question: Will there be subtitles?

Not because I don't like the theatrical experience, but it was damn near impossible to understand some things if you weren't really paying attention to what was being said. #assassinscreed2

@sentroshi: I was wondering the same thing myself. After running a quick search I found that apparently;

Oblivion had 60,000+, Fable II had 45,000+, Fallout 3 had 40,000+, and Mass Effect had 20,000. #assassinscreed2

@Rompehamster:

"We have 20,000 lines of dialogue," says senior designer Drew Karpyshyn of Edmonton game developer BioWare, describing science-fiction RPG Mass Effect, set for release Nov. 20. That's the equivalent of 15 to 20 movie screenplays, created by Karpyshyn and five other writers, working with the rest of the creative team. #assassinscreed2
