Hmm, one could almost imagine that I am some kind of fanboy.
You're not. I was there too, man.

I also felt sorry for the guy with the bomb strapped to his chest. In that regard, the intro to the mission that puts you in the shoes of the victim worked for me. But who needs one-time, one-button interactivity such as "blow out candle" and "kiss wife"? It's that type of interactivity which gives me NOTHING, quite the opposite it makes me feel like the developers are taking the piss. But I guess QTEs (the fact that this has a globally understood accronym shows that this has gone too far) are "chique" and more elaborate interactivity is too much work. I'd prefer a cutscene, at least that's more honest. But maybe I'm getting old.
So after the guy with the bomb got out of the van, the video switched to the actual characters that you're going to play and that's when I started to lose interest. Shoot the terrorists/red triangles with submachine-guns, see through car, don't hit the civilian, New York, explosion. The fact that they couldn't save the guy and tossed him over was an unexpected, interesting touch, but it doesn't make me long for the game. Now what if you played the whole game as the person whose family is held hostage? You need to do what the terrorists say or they are going to kill your family. But creating another game with the "rainbow six" name is safer plus you can easily spend money on fancy pre-rendered vertical slice videos...
This isn't a problem exclusively related to this game though and it's a little unfair I unload my frustration on this specific title, so please don't take it personal, deceiver, but it annoys me that the common procedure nowadays is to take an old gameplay concept and inflate it with an "even more epic storyline with bigger explosions and more controversy". Exactly this:
Quote"In Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction. This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience.”
Then the publisher inks a deal with a widely read magazine whose writers put the game's name and hyperboles like "groundbreaking" on the cover for exclusive rights to the story.
Maybe actual gameplay videos will prove me wrong in the future, but right now it looks to me like Ubisoft wants to join in on the "who has got the biggest modern shooter brand" contest with little new to offer.
