Re: Assassin's Creed 2

My friend said the game was one of the best he has ever played. They improved on almost all of the aspects apparently.

How is it a disapointment?

You are wrong.

Play it first.

Then say things.

I wish there were flags

But oh well.

66 view points, 100 feathers and 330 treasures is still cool

From what I've heard.

I didn't say it was my opinion. Though the people that told me this also said Modern Warfare 2 was a terrible game so they should go burn in hell.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

can anyone that has the game please explain to me in what way it is good: i freaking hated the first one with a passion, is it vastly improved? to elaborate, the reason i didnt like the first was that the story dragged on far too long, it was obvious, and the gameplay was very repetitve. does the new one involve:
same crappy fighting
an obvious plot
me going to a city, only to repeat what i did 2 missions ago, ie beating a guy up then pickpocketing a note then killing some guy and running like a bitch.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

^ok...

Fighting is still easy as hell, but the new counters, disarms etc. is MUCH awesomer. Who wouldn't want to crush someones skull with a hammer? In this game you can

Obvious plot. What does that supposed to mean?

There are no investigations in this game.

YES I SAID NO INVESTIGATIONS (Minor dissapointment for me, but oh well).

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

ok, the fighting i take it still consists of counters (easiest ****ing moves ever.) and all the other types of fighting that i never id because i just countered all the time.
the first game was just silly, it has to be said. the twist could be seen a mile away, and because we had to listen to the bloody annoying dying sequences of all the bad guys it was quite hard to miss, as well.does the game end on a huge cliffhanger? if, so its a fail for the plot, in my opinion.

if the investigation missions have gone away...does this mean? that assassins creed 2 might not be ****!!! *surprised face* i am genuinely pleased that they have gone away, they were cool for the first two missions, then they became a chore. what have they been replaced with,out of curiosity???

overall even with the news that the pain in the ass investigation missions are gone, this game hasnt piqued my curiosity yet.
did you know the collectors edition of bioshock 2 come with a vinyl 180 lp of the original games soundtrack? very nifty.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

From what I've heard, it's a disappointment and is nowhere near as good as people thought it would be... So I wouldn't brag to much. I shall still be getting it for christmas.

Its great and the only game thats got me off CoD MW2 at the moment.

The counters can also be countered by the enemies now and dont work 100% of the time. There is a larger variety of enemy and the heavy armoured gaurds are quite formidable. Loads more moves and kill combos and MUCH more weapons and variations.

You now pickpocket money (if you want to) and find treasures and other items (again if you want to). Most of it is now choice and the story is much better explained this time around. Ezio is a much more interesting character than Altair was and you learn more about him and his background. You can also opt to take assassination contracts to make money too (again its a choice not a necessity).

Apparently the games ending is a cliffhanger (i havent done it yet because im busy doing side missions). However IGN have said its a large twist and is good.

You can re-enter the animus and replay memories but there isnt a point in the game where you just go around 'killing people'. Its possible but if you kill to many innocents then i think it de-synchronizes you.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

You can free-roam after the game is completed.



Assassin's Creed 2 is a GOTY, but of course, that crappy MW2 will beat it.

 

[Skotekal]

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

Because MW2 is better, of course.

 

[Daemon300]

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

How is it better? Only thing that you have to do is go run rambo style kill people, quick do this pick up this kill kill kill, run quick knife, WOW LOOK AT HIM HE JUST JUMPED ON HIM AND KILLED HIM WOW COOL, **** EMP!!!!!!!! RUN JUMP WATCH OUT, KILL KILL KILL KILL RAMBOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Mindless shooter...

AC2 is better.

Modern Warfare 2 is awesome and Assassins Creed 2 will get awards but MW2 will rightfully win GOTY by far. It was the biggest multimedia release of all time so of course it will. Might not be a game you enjoy but 4.7 million sales in UK and US alone on day 1 is nothing to shrug about. Estimated 7 million worldwide after 48 hours.

Theres nothing mindless about it, you run in rambo style and you die... a lot. Also cant compare an FPS to an open world game. I really like ACII and i praise Ubisoft for the work they have done and the thought and improvements they have done. They have truly excelled themselves and got the game right this time around. However i know in 2 years time its MW2 i will still be playing & MW2 has kept ACII off the top of the games charts.

It is MUCH better than the first and so much deeper and much more to do.
