Assassin's Creed II
 

Okay, I wasn't really a fan of the first and I was going to wait till PC release where I could get the game for free, BUT... my boyfriend bought it for us on the 360 and I've been playing... and... it's actually really ****ing good.

Ezio is a hotty, too. :D

Anyone else enjoying it!?

Any real freedom in the game?

Games i want to buy again, Just Cause and Scarface.

It is more of an open world game compared to the last and optional side missions.

My best friend bought it so I'm waiting for him to bring his ass back from Cannes to play it with him all weekend long. It's going to be great !

I will youtube some game play.. Could be worth a buy.

only took notice of this because the advert used a song I wanted (Justice - Genesis).

it does look pretty good, though.

I have some questions. :)

1, is there more colour in the game? Because with AC1 pretty much everything was just grey beige and the environments got amazingly boring because of the lack of colour. :(

2. When you're running around etc, do you get randomly beaten by people? This was the turning point for me in AC1 which made me sell the game because it was INCREDIBLY aggravating getting into fights every five minutes wherever I went for NO reason by these random people. :mad:

1. So far, the colours are still pretty dull/dark, but I think the scenery is much more beautiful than in the previous game.

2. You have to evade guards, although they are pretty easy to defeat, and try to keep your notoriety as low as possible to avoid them noticing you. It is more of a stealth game now.

2. ALL THE TIME? :( I ****ing hated how I had to be on my toes throughout AC1 - that just made the whole game unbearably tedious and *really* pushed my patience levels sky high. :mad:

Well **** it I'm not getting it. Ubisoft can go shag their execs in the closet for all I care, I'm not gonna waste my money on utter frustration and a high blood pressure.

I don't know about all the time. I'm not far into it. There are groups of guards in certain areas of the towns and you must either stay away from them or kill them. It's pretty easy to avoid most fights.

1) Is it AS common and aggravating as AC1?

2) Did you find the socially spasticated peasants who would fight you for no reason in AC 1 obscenely annoying?

1. No not at all. Overall, it's a greatly improved game. Less repetitive as the last.

2. I haven't experienced any socially spasticated peasants yet. All they do is shout abuse at you if you run into them. I find that quite amusing.

If I even walked past them they'd fight so I had to hold X and make him walk painfully slowly - pretty much everywhere. :(
