Assassin's Creed II

Anyone excited about this game? I made the preorder when I got MW2

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Yeah, definitely.

 

[CelticKing]

Yeah, definitely.

We'll see how they do, I think they can be just as successful as God of War, if they get it right, with the game-play etc.

Also great its on all the consoles, I hate games that choose just one.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Yeah, I'll definitely be getting this for the 360.

 

[speeds]

I liked the first one. Probably check the sequel out, too.

I already have it on reserve. I put it on reserve a while ago, like, back in early October. I'm stoked for it. I'm also getting a couple extra levels with it since I preordered it and am getting the collectors edition.

 

[Mamba]

Can't wait!

This game looks like it's going to be MW2's only real competition for game of the year this year, though I'm sure it won't get it. Still though, it looks absolutely epic and far better htan it's predecessor in every way.

Uncharted 2 isn't competition?

Uncharted 2 isn't competition?

It probably is, I haven't played it though. I'm kind of lacking a PS3.

But it's a different genre and will attract a completely different crowd.

But it's a different genre and will attract a completely different crowd.

Are you comparing this to COD? I think you are, but I think you quoted the wrong post.

At any rate, they are two very different games, something you're quite correct on. Most people that pick up COD aren't picking it up for the solo campaign, they pick it up for multiplayer, and that's what keeps them there. The people that pick up AC2 are hoping for a good, meaty single player experience with some replay value. Aside from that...one's a frantic FPS...the other is a stealth/action game. Yup, two very different games. Though they have one similarity, they're both going to be awesome (or, one's awesome, one should be).

Game is getting good reviews so far with a 9.2 from IGN and than an 8.8 and a 9.0 from their UK and AU homes.

My mom pre-ordered it for my brother's for Xmas.

If I get a ps3, I'm going to buy it for that.

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

Got the deluxe edition, picked it up yesterday. Gaming commenced!

 

[speeds]

Getting pretty good reviews.

Thoughts?

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

The graphics are just amazing. I'm still getting used to the game as I bought it for my brother who loved the first game. I'm just playing it til he comes down to visit us from his school, so I don't know how to do much in the game.

There are so many things you can do though. Like Beating people up for people are now little jobs you can do in each city, as well as races within a city. Other than that, I only played like 30mins

So, been playing it for a few days, and it's incredible. It's leaps and bounds better than the first one. The combat system is still rock solid (imo), and they offer a good variety of missions, too. Plus, having the ability to actually have numerous different weapons is nice, as is the ability to stash them in your Villa. Speaking of that, I like the idea of building that up as well, though I've yet to do anything with it. All in all, it's a great game, the story thus far is also good.

Admit it, you just like being able to hire courtesans.

Haha, doing that is rather humorous.
