[Official] Assassin's Creed 2


Recommended Posts

Tsk I leave the site for what, 2 months or something, and you guys can't sling together a proper Official topic?

For shame :p

Surprised there isn't more buzz in here tbh. Game isn't long away. I guess MW2 will be stealing the spotlight for some time...

And L4D2. It's going up against AC2 next week. I think that was a stupid move though. :/

Lol..i don't normally make the Official topics..it was weird that we didn't have one for this game so i thought..why not :p

Yeah i can't believe there isn't more hype around this..(damn you MW2 and your excellence)

This is like the only game that didn't shift it's release date til next year :D

Yeah..poor Valve..shoulda waited a month :p haha

And thank ****! no more stupid collecting flag achievements!!

I can't believe i'll have this game next week!

Sadly i ordered the white edition exclusive to play.com and with their crap delivery service i doubt i'll get it on time.

So excited for this game. Stuff Modern Warfare 2 (not even bought it), i think this will be a massive hit. I think they've improved this game in every aspect.

I had a chance to play a pre-final build of this last night - it's really good! If you hated the repetitive stuff in AC1 you'll love this, and if you enjoyed AC1 you'll enjoy this even more.

One cool thing the Ubisoft rep said was that there's hidden gear for Enzo in some of the missions that you can find and unlock for him to wear in game. Unfortunately he didn't want to spoil it and show me where this one was. =P

Why oh why did they have to delay this on the PC till 2010? This was one of the games (along with MW2, DA:O and Splinter Cell: Conviction, which was also delayed) I have been looking forward to since it was announced. :(

I mean come on, DA:O did a simultaneous release on all platforms at once and the PC version turned out to be the best.

Except those games suffer from consolisation-related issues. If it's true that the time is being spent ensuring the PC version is not just a ****ty port then it'll be worth it.

What exactly do you mean by that, they are limited (on PC) by what consoles can do?

If I got that right then yes, I suppose you have a good point. My main thought was if DA:O (which is a great game, just finished the main story @ 40 hours of gameplay) can pull off that good of quality and release on the PC at the same time as it does on consoles, AC2 should be able to do it also. Now, if they actually take this extra time to improve AC2 beyond the console versions for PC (as opposed to adding in anti-piracy measures that will slow pirates down by a few days at the most) then hopefully it will be worth it in the end.

Well the Dragon Age PC port certainly isn't graphically amazing, even though it looks very good. I was hoping for more. But I'm not sure if I want to wait for the PC port of AC2 or buy the 360 ver now :( I imagine I'll end up wth the 360 ver, but then...I'd rather have the PC ver.

Whats the difference between the Black and White editions?

I have the White for PC on pre-order at my local GAME, but I do remember very briefly seeing a Black Edition before they vanished and I can't find it anymore...

I mentioned earlier i had the "white" edition on pre-order from play but actually it is the black edition and it is now sold out.

Here's what's in it:

Collectable black packaging with unique authentic holographic signature

Rare "Master Assassin" upgrade Ezio figurine (see image below) - this limited edition collectable figurine of Ezio wears an upgraded cloak, something Ezio only has access to in the advanced stages of the game.

3 in-game bonus quests* - enter and explore the most prestigious moments of the Renaissance. Reveal mysterious unique artifacts hidden within their walls: Palazzo Medicis in Florence, Santa Maria Dei Frari and Arsenal Shipyard Warehouse in Venice.

Conspiracy Book - this 64-page finely crafted leather style hardcover and parchment-finish page book brings together exclusive insights on the game art, story and background, direct from the developers of Assassin's Creed II. Secret faces are also revealed from the game's overarching conspiracy.

Game Soundtrack by Jesper Kyd (British Academy of Film and Television Arts nominee for "2009 Best Original Score in a Game")

    • Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
