[Official] Assassin's Creed 2

[Razorwing]

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 ;).

Got this for Christmas... really need to find the time to play it now :laugh: I need to start remembering to only ask for games that I can complete in my spare time.

I'm stuck at one of the levels where you have to find the traitor thieves...**** I hate adventure games lol

I just did that. It's straight forward. Use Eagle Vision or just walk right up to them and start a fight.

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).

Any word on the 2 bits of DLC yet?

Full info and release dates?

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.

i have to stay after beating 1 and starting 2 HUGE improvement over controls and over all looks +

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

Meh my AC2 glitched during the codex parts. I got the map right but no cutscene. Any help :( ?

There is a scene with the map later in the game.

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.

[Razorwing]

any word on when the DLC is coming?

Finished the story last night. Nicely timed for the first set of DLC. Only need to get the feathers and that's platinum #8 in the bag.

Tried going back and realised just how much I hated the original after about twenty or thirty minutes.

[Coldgunner]

I was suprised by how good Assassins Creed: Bloodlines is.
