Assassin's Creed 2 - Page 3

Unless you abosolutely hated a game and never plan on ever playing it again, or are getting the games from other people like the other guy it's really not worth it at all. I can't remember what game it was but I remember the list of games they would approve for this deal was ridiculous. It think it might have been Resident Evil 5, which released in March, and they were asking for games like Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty: WaW which both released in November.

LandMarkMoon · 10-30-2009, 2:02 PM

So any two of those, and you pay an extra $20 and you get Assassin's Crack?

Chocoholic · 10-30-2009, 2:08 PM

Yeah. That's how it works. You're basically getting $20 for each game.

I can't find the list of games Gamestop would be accepting for this deal but expect them to be games released within the last few months.

The link was in the magazine thingy I got.

You might find it worth it for a few games. There are some that are a year+ old. Uncharted is under the PS3 category. That's gotta be a few years old by now. It's only worth it for me because I have Left 4 Dead for PC and I know I'm done with Skate 2. You might be kinda surprised. It's a damn big list of PS3, 360, and Wii games.

LandMarkMoon · 10-30-2009, 7:12 PM

Left for Dead 1, since 2 is coming out and CoD WaW for Assassin's creed/MW2, sounds like a bargain.

Chocoholic · 10-31-2009, 12:07 PM

Some of them aren't too bad. I think the oldest game on that list is MW or Saints Row 2.

But some of them are fucking ridiculous. Guitar Hero 5?! Didn't that come out a month ago? And Lips with 2 fucking wireless mics? Wouldn't that alone be worth at least $60?

If I see anyone trading in stuff like this I think I'll slap them.

LandMarkMoon · 10-31-2009, 12:29 PM

With a 6 foot dildo tbh. Unless you really are retarded trading in those games makes no sense unless they are laying around as dead weight. Think they'd take my MW1 it has circular scratches from when my xbox ate it, only map you can't play is that boat fragfest one.

B3n · 11-03-2009, 4:24 PM

I cannot fucking wait for this game. I've been waiting for it since I started playing the first. Assassin's Creed was just such a great idea, and it was very playable.

elchileno74 · 11-14-2009, 7:50 PM

Does anyone know what happened with the whole multiplayer live thing? Did they abandon that?

Though you probably could add in online capabilities similar to how they did with the Challenges in Arkham Asylum. Like, kill the target in the fastest amount of time with the least amount of people noticing.

Chocoholic · 11-14-2009, 10:36 PM

I'm pretty sure the game won't have any multiplayer. I have yet to see anything about it and the game is coming out fairly soon. I think they got rid of it so they could really focus on single player which is a really smart move.

This game is going to blow apparently, it came out today in Canada, it's selling at the gamestop near my house, yet, no review:

Your review gave it a 9.2. How does that blow?

LandMarkMoon · 11-17-2009, 1:51 PM

Two separate links. One explaining the German website's complaints and Ubisoft's demands. The other giving IGN's review.

That is how.

Based on the actual gameplay in the video I would say this game is 9.0+ material. The original was an amazing game that was stopped short by some bad design decisions. This one looks to have addressed nearly all of them and looks like a definite buy for most people.

The first game was boring and tedious.

No, it wasn't. The replaying of the same 6 quests over and over again was boring and tedious. The actual assassining and story were great.

Mmk · 11-17-2009, 10:34 PM

I just got it and I love it. Has a lot of cool stuff the first one didn't and got rid
of some of the gay stuff from the first one.

Contrary to what has been said, this is pretty different from the first one.

algizzz · 11-18-2009, 1:20 PM

this game is the cooles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

USER WAS PUT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIS POST.
Reason: Don't do that.

Arthenon · 11-18-2009, 1:22 PM

Got it yesterday, good so far, definitely changed what was bad with the first one. Did anyone else here get the special edition? The box for it was a hell of a lot bigger then I thought it would be be. Though the little statue is pretty cool.

Mmk · 11-18-2009, 10:20 PM

This one goes way more advanced then the first one with the shops and people you can hire. I love it.

john41martin21 · 11-18-2009, 10:32 PM

Can someone answer me this. did they fix the repetitiveness at all?

Me buying the game basically rests on that unltimatium.

How much did it cost you Art?

elchileno74 · 11-19-2009, 4:51 AM

Just wondering, am I the only one who has trouble with actually assassinating with the hidden blade? It took me about 3 minutes to find out how to kill the guy harassing Leonardo properly.

It only cost $80, so about $20 more and it comes with an extra disc filled with behind the scenes stuff, the soundtrack and a bit more that I haven't really looked at too deeply, and art book and, the coolest thing in my opinion and why I chose it, an 8.5" statue of Ezio.

Yes, they did. Some of the missions are the same, like eavesdropping, but the first time I did it it took me through catacombs underground and figuring out a whole bunch of puzzles to get to them and then it was an actual cutscene for the eavesdrop. Quite better then the first one.

And assassination isn't hard, just the double assassination is kicking my ass. That and the hiding spot assassination. And I found one thing that bugs me so far, no ability to crouch down.

CanadaEh · 11-19-2009, 6:14 PM

Well, just beat it and I see a lot of people getting pissed at the ending but I liked it, can't wait for AC3.

I think a lot of people are interested in what happens at the end and they don't really want to play the whole thing so basically...

Your main rival becomes the pope near the end of the game to get closer to a piece of eden (which is the popes scepter) and a place called "The Vault" that is hidden inside the Vatican. Ezio then uses his piece of eden (an apple) to fight him and eventually kick his ass but not kill him. Combining the two pieces of eden makes the vault door open which leads to this room with some god-like creatures that explain the world will end if Desmond does not find all these sanctuarys built all around the world (Hints to 2012). The big WTF moment is that the god-like creature is talking to Ezio but mentions Desmond must save the world. Desmond is then released from the animus with all of Ezios abilitys, kills some templars, but the main scientist from the first game escapes then boom black screen and credits. Hope I explained nicely.

SourChicken · 11-19-2009, 6:31 PM

Just played a bit at my friend's house. Not that impressed.

Pros:
Nice graphics, pretty fluid controls, combat is pretty fun. Nice contrast between Ezio and Altaiir or whatever. Also, stabbing two dudes in the face at the same time is awesome.

Cons: "Pretty" fluid controls. If you don't push the stick at just the right angle, Ezio hurtles off of a six story brothel into the streets below, arm outstretched, hoping maybe, just maybe, he can grab a windowsill. The combat is fun for awhile, but "wait for bad guy to raise sword above his head then press x really fast" gets old faster than you can shove your thumb up your ass and fart. Also, fucking minstrels are almost more annoying than those fucking beggars in the last game.

Trashcat · 11-19-2009, 6:33 PM

Try playing around more with the combat, SourChicken. Disarming is really fun, as is just going batshit on enemies and whaling on them. You don't have to use counters at all -- personally, I make a game of it. I do a lot of running up walls and disarming and sudden hidden blading.

Jumba · 11-19-2009, 7:52 PM

I always loved the first one, it was so epic with all the tactical thinking and ESPECIALLY the timing of the counter's. But boo that I don't have a good enough computer to even play it. ): Friends and their computers. :)

Blueblobb · 11-20-2009, 12:49 AM

So I'm just taking my time with the Creed and I can say that so far, the game is excellent. The tasks given to you to accomplish in the game aren't too repetitive as they usually have a different back story and part of the city to enter. What's happened from the movement of the first game to the second game is improvement really. The things found in the first game have gotten better and more varied, save for Viewpoints. Sometimes climbing towers is fun, but when you do it 66 times? Otherwise, all the new weapons and armor are great along with the bad ass combat.

I'm loving it.
