Assassin's Creed 2

[Philberto]

Anyone else picking this up? I know the original was repetitive but I think this has potential of being good as the concept's nice.  Apparently here are some ways it's improved...

I'll pick it up when the price drops or I'll get it through Goozex.  I don't doubt it will be good, but if I'm just going to play single player, I don't have that much incentive to grab it on release day.

I'm grabbing it tomorrow.  The first one was one of my favorite games in a while, and that was even riddled with problems.  This one not only fixes most every problem from the original, but adds on and improves nearly everything.  My expectations are probably too high, but I've really been looking forward to this game.

This is the last game that I am probably going to pick up for a while, because, with MW2 a fixture in the console, I doubt I'm going to play this game until around Christmas, at the earliest.

Assassin's Creed was the first game I bought for the PS3 and I am pretty wedded to the franchise now.

I thought Assassin's was one of the more pretty games I'd seen in a while, though I have a hard time playing it.  I must have the attention span of a nat because I just can never seem to get anything done with it.  I'm always riding a horse through Hirule or whatever it's called.  I get distracted by the hookers.  I hate the knights that always seem to come after if you ride your horse too fast.  That game sucked.  But it was good.  I think.

I doubt I'll get it right away.  I'm not even 10% done with the original.

The horse crap in the countryside was one of the biggest problems with that game.  It was a massive, detailed world, but there wasn't shit to do in it.

Has anybody besides Yeti bought/played this game?  I'm finding it incredibly difficult to stop playing once I get started.  They improved on the first game in every conceivable way.  My only complaint for a while had been the controls were a bit touchy and I'd find myself jumping off buildings when I didn't want to, but it seems like that was mostly just me being impatient.  Also, they let you grab onto something as you fall by hitting B from the very beginning, whereas it was a skill you learned later on in the first game.  That move has saved me over and over again.  This game is a whole lot of fun, and I'm guessing the Ubisoft guys are fans of Lost, because it's filled with all kinds of little mysteries throughout it related to the story arc involving the Animus and the entire timeline of the Templars/Assassins.

I bought it for PS3.  Haven't played it yet, though.  I'm still wading through MW2.

He touched a lot of people.

I'm finally gonna start this tonight hopefully.  I liked the first one, but if you're saying I don't have to ride that damn horse slow past guards all the fucking time, then I'm sure I'll like the second one more.

You don't.  You do, however, need quite a while to get used to the context-sensitive controls.  Be prepared to accidentally jump to your death quite often.

It's much better than the first one.

More questions at the end of this one as well.  It answered - to a certain extent - the questions posited at the end of the first game, but now, more questions.

Still a great game though.

This game goes way off the deep end in the last 20 minutes or so.  I personally think it's a cool twist, and sets it up for a (potentially) awesome sequel, but good god they were taking a big risk with that one.
