Assassin's Creed 2 [360/PC/PS3]

[Sabatasso]

I finished the game now. Also have 100 % trophies. I think the game is a litte too easy ... or what do you think ?

It's not really supposed to be hard, it's an interactive graphic novel.
A cheap way of making games, but they can be entertaining. I very much enjoyed the first game, but the trophies and that kinda bullshit the kids can have for themselves. I'm not interested in finding secrets that don't enhance my toon. And I feel that jumping from pillar to pillar and up on rooftops to find hidden relics makes a game more arcade-ish and less interesting.

I'm waiting for the PC release of assassins creed 2 though, and from what I've seen and read so far I guess I'm gonna love parts of it.

There is a new part coming out this month called Battle of the Forli and 2nd one is Bonfire of the Vanities comes out next month.

They are the missing DNA Seqs.

i bought a book from asda called assassins creed renaissance, which it says is based on the second game.

i wikied it and the character is the same, Ezio Auditore Da Firenze and it seems the story is that of the book which i am quite enjoying.

I've just completed sequence 1. At the moment, I've just finished the Blending lesson.

 

[Sho]

I will try to go for reminder achievements.

I got sent 3 codex pages to Leonardo at one go, but I only got an increase of 1 bar of health. :realmad:

 

[Sho]

Codex pages don't get you health bar, to get health bars you will need to buy armour parts.

 

[stottmeister]

in this book i just finished the codex pages he gives to leonardo have instructions for new weapons starting with the wristblade, wristguard, poisonblade, doubleblade and a pistol, is this the same in the game?

 

[Foxhound]

Yeah, I think so.

I've just completed the game. I'd give it 8/10. The only thing that annoys me is that some missions are too easy.

Hi guy's, any news about PC version. B'cause the DLC is ready to release in this week. This game is great but there's DLC's with a new mission. Why they're not release this game in full version??

We're told mid-March but it may slip to the summer.

The 1st part dlc (PS3/360) is cominf on Thursday.

Yes can't wait.

 

[Dragonfly]

DLC is rubbish, by the way. That's £3 wasted and also time, adding my card details, purchasing and downloading the shit.

 

[Top Gun]

Finished this today. Was definitely an improvement on the first but it did begin to get a bit tedious towards the end. Prefered Batman.

 

[Sho]

The 2nd dlc is out Thursday 18th.

Anyone bothered about having to be connected to the internet to play the game?

Ubisoft are doing this with all titles in future. Lets just say I wasn't going to buy the game either way and leave it at that.

Well I'll be avoiding Ubisoft titles in the future. I think its crap that the consoles now have to endure regular updates for games. But now having to be online all the time. Meh. Assasin's creed hasn't appealed in the past but this latest game looked decent.

But no thanks.

 

[Sweey]

I'll be honest and say its what the PC needs in terms of anti-piracy measures because its quite frankly out of control but to be honest, if a game is thoroughly amazing I'll buy it anyway, either before sampling it (BioShock 2, Mass Effect 2, StarCraft 2 and Diablo 3) or after playing it and finding it to be more than worthy (Race Driver GRID, Risen).

Finished sequence 7 and so far I believe it's much, much better than the previous game. The areas I enjoyed the most have remained (smoothness and ease of free running mainly) and the repetitive eavesdropping/pickpocket garbage is gone. Story seems a lot more cohesive but I'm surprised how little time I've spent out of the animus. The first part with Lucy and Desmond fleeing feels like that should've been the conclusion to the first game.

Love the new additions; namely the ability to buy things like paintings and the stonghold. Can't remember if you could buy armour/weapons with Altair or if it was an upgrade system. Things like the assassin's tombs/courier missions/statues are far more interesting than solely collecting flags.

AI still seems retarded at times, and jumping can be off. I can reach the top of a tower only for Ezio to stupidly jump sideways to his death. Nevertheless, very pleased that they've put a lot of flaws right.
