[Official] Assassin's Creed 2


Recommended Posts

Thank god for piracy to give the honest word on reviews when the pricks who get paid to do this cannot! :p

yeah -$60 takes away my neutrality and objectiveness :p , now seriously, will see next Thursday ;)

I chose this over MW2 but I will rent MW2 just to see if its for me :p but I am really hyped for AC2

I chose MW2 over this.. but will be getting this anyway.. maybe a month later or something. But let me tell you man, MW2 is really EPIC!

:woot: no words

A solid 9.5

Hows the repetition in this? It absolutely slaughtered UC1 for me, I couldn't complete it and would've given it like 7/10 at best.

Well that and I thought the whole manipulating time storyline was awful, I thought it was going to be an actual game set in those times. However I'm willing to overlook that if AC2 is a better overall package.

I have this pre-ordered at ?28, and want to know whether to go through with it. If I cancel I can't re-buy @ ?28, it was a special offer a month or so back.

While I will read reviews, I won't be engulfed in them after everyone gushed over AC, seemingly IMO without playing more than 30mins-1hour of it till the mind numbing repetition kicked into full throttle.

yeah AC1 was repetitive as hell, I had a hard time finishing it

First of all the Italian renascence setting is awesome, beautiful and very well recreated, some of the dialogs are half italian - half english, that makes the atmosphere unique (and remembers me of this[/url:p:p) Graphics were vastly improved and looks much more colorful than AC1.

Well I'll talk more about gameplay next Thursday because it's the official release date and because I'm going to play it the whole weeken:yes:s: .

But yes, you will enjoy it much much more than AC1, so go ahead and keep you pre-order, may be best adventure game of the year, may be over U2.

yeah I heard its epic but then I also heard the single player is short and I am not a multiplayer kind of person.

It took my about 1.5 days (playing off and on throughout the day) to finish the MW2 campaign, and like you I am not the multiplayer kind of person. I felt the story was epic but it was quite short. Cant wait for AC2 to come out, but that wont be till 2010 for PC. :(

I would go with AC2 to then, I can't even be arsed finishing the SP in MW2 now :p

But I am having a bit of fun online.

MW1 and MW2 have like, some of the shortest single player campaigns I've played.

Lazy butt. :p

Assassin's Creed - Lineage (Part 2)

Assassin's Creed - Lineage (Part 3)

Cheers for those. :D

don't get me wrong I want to play MW2 just I don't do multiplayer (tried once in L4D on 360 and I failed badly!)

yeah I heard its epic but then I also heard the single player is short and I am not a multiplayer kind of person.

it's not that short.. it's taking me around 7 hours now (still not finished) on Veteran X_X... but I'm still going to get AC2 anyway.. lol.

The last 3 COD games have been around 7 hours on the normal difficulty for me.

Anyways, I can't wait for this. Im hoping to get it for xmas. I still havent picked up the first game but Ive played it so I wont be out of the loop on this.

I brought this home with me tonight from work and well, wow, the story is MUCH improved (it's one of those you can't even touch on without spoiling it!) You feel like Desmond is growing as a character this time rather than feeling like a gimmick so you can play super assassin. The missions really do feel varied and the locations are original, the economy works and your 'home' of sorts improves as you sink in money to improve the villa which is a nice touch.

If AC1 was a proof of concept this is the final super polished and very good final product.

Replaying on veteran and just finished Whiskey hotel, about 6 hours so far.

Although some say its short. Its a nice length, doesn't drag out, no wait here until the chopper arrives with bugger all fuel 150mtrs away missions. Continues the story well and leaves it open to MW3, however i do not want a 3rd.

Dude, wrong game. This thread is about Assassin's Creed 2 and not Modern Warfare 2 ;)

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
