I did love playing through this game, once I had Finished and them Platinumed, I still wanted a lot more to do.

Definitely one of the best games this year for me.

Would we get a buddy that would appear and disappear out of nowhere like in Quantum leap? would be win, lol. :D

But I doubt they would go backwards in time, the way they are going is to slowly lead up to the modern day I would assume, and with how the game's free running mechanics work and the limits imposed, I don't think it could ever take place in say, New York etc, the buildings would be a little too big in general.

However a city like London, where a lot of the buildings are only a couple of stories high could work well, and the way Britons and a lot of European cities are set out, with terraced housing etc would work well for the free running around a city in the modern day.

Modern day? hmmm.. who would be Modern day Archers who roam the roof tops? lol.. They'll tell you to get down! LOL. Pretty sure also you can't blend with people.. are push people out of the way. They will look at you funny or call the police for sexual harrassement. lol.

I'm wondering how much the gameplay will change actually if it's set in modern day (or 2012), what if they bring guns to the table? that would seriously mess things up.

They have already brought a gun to the table ;).

I just finished it. I didn't bother to get the armour because I hated the tomb levels.

Pretty entertaining. I'm glad I didn't have to do any running missions etc because I hated that crap. Now only if they get rid of the tailing people missions. I just want to gib everything in sight.

Oh and why can't I gib civilians? :p

^ I got the armor. I thought the tombs were fairly fun, but some of the camera angles royally ****ed me off.

AC2 is FARRRRRRRRRRRR better than AC1. Probably my game of 2009 (I'm not quite done, but fairly close).

Good to hear, while AC1 was not my top game, I did have fun playing through it. But I tend to like the story in games more than or at least equal to the actual gameplay.

That being said, as I am waiting on this to hit PC before I buy it, it may just be my game of 2010, but it has some tough contenders, ME2, SC2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction are just a few of them.

Any word on the 2 bits of DLC yet?

Full info and release dates?

Not sure if it's officially dated, but the first one is supposed be released last week of January and the second one will be end of February, though I don't think they have announced official dates yet.

Funny to read mixed feelings about the tomb levels, as they were by far my favorite part of the game. I would have personally preferred a much larger focus on levels like them to be honest and way less assassinations since I never felt challenged by a single one. I would just ran like a mad man towards the main target, take them out, and run out like a mad man, and it worked every single time.

I would personally be all for a game of nothing but the tomb levels, about 10 hours long, and it would be perfect to me. Of course just my opinion, and it goes against the whole assassin part of the game, so does not make much sense in the grand scheme of things I know.

Finished the game. Wow what an amazing game, A LOT better than AC1. The ending was great and left me wanting more. Really looking forward to AC3.

The only thing that I hated a little was collecting the feathers.

Now I'm going to get the PSP game. :D

Never finished the first game, got maybe 60% of the way. Not sure if I should play the first one and finish it before playing this one... hmm

Same boat but I didn't go back to the original. I was confused for the first 10 mins of the sequel and don't fully still understand how AC1 ended after finishing the sequel but gameplay wise I don't feel like I lost a lot. Maybe I could go back and finish the original but I think it would feel pretty flat coming off the sequel.

Guess it would get me through until the DLC comes out.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
