How is AC6? A friend downloaded BD, he liked it...said it felt old-school with the 9 different shadows to use...but confusing with the over 30 attacks...

I'm more interested in AC6 though.

AC6's graphics are all that they were made out to be. When you get right down on the city, the textures on the ground are a little weak but that's to be expected; the map is pretty huge.

The city rendering is incredible. The buildings are different and it's laid out like a real city, there isn't any of that cutting-and-pasting of textures we saw in previous generations. The buildings look different, you can follow roads, etc. It even has suburbs surrounding the city.

The gameplay is still a little up in the air for me. There are a few things I didn't quite understand like why they didn't include the in-cockpit view in the demo (while we've seen screens of it earlier) and exactly how the targeting works. I think a tutorial and a little more time with the game would fix my targeting question, though (it's not really an issue, I'm just unclear on how it works exactly).

The game is pretty though. Buzzing underneath the Golden Gate Bridge (er, I mean, "King's Bridge") and through the downtown area is pretty fun. Overall, I still have a few questions about the overall game but thus far, it's a rental at the bare minimum.
