Assassin's Creed 2...

[keybored]

Amazing game, and not quite as repetitive as the first (which I also liked) but...

Haha! You've found another one! How exciting!

Leo doesn't get out much, does he?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Decided to rent this as it was talked up big time by a mate last week. Seems every fucker loves this game!

 

[kyser_soze]

This game is the fucking shnizzle. It arived yesterday and I've just got the rellies out of Firenze, but I'm already loving the more sandboxy play approach...and OMFG! I was in Firenze (Florence) earlier this year and I had that 'I know this street' feeling when walking past the Palazzo de Medici (altho it's a lot smaller than it is now!), seeing the piazza della singnoria, Palazza Vecchio etc Seems to be a faithful recreation of the city indeed...I take it the other cities are just as accurate?

 

[stupid dogbot]

I'm close to the last mission (yes, I do play slowly), and it's still magic.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

What's the replay value on the game? My feeling is to rent rather than buy single player games (unless they're are RPGs like Fallout which can be played through over and over again discovering new things) as I find the games I play longest are online multiplayers....

 

[MooChild]

This game rocks

Tbh, you'll probably get a better idea if you just go and rent it...

My housemate started it again immediately after finishing it.

After that, I will buy this game.

When an Urban poster comments on something and they have few post it is always good.

 

[keybored]

Wow, finished it, loved it....

Spoiler: End of game stuff

I know a lot of people don't like all that sci fi nonsense but I love it - all that stuff at the end with gods and all that hoo-ha? FANTASTIC! Interested to see where they'll take it next, with all the conspiracy stuff they can drop it pretty much anywhere in time, though I guess they'll have a modern day one at some point where you're a badass desmond assassin. The one thing they need to sort out for the next one is the fighting model, as Edge pointed out - after playing Arkham Asylum it all seems a bit basic.

Still have a few things to finish up, anyone help with these?

-Glyphs - got about 4 to get, the one that really annoys me is the ship in Romagna - I've looked all over the bugger but can't find it.
-When do you get the Audiotore (sp?) cape?
-I'm missing one weapon, it seems to be a staff or club of some sort, I thought it was going to be the staff with the apple, but no...

Your missing weapon; did you get Altair's sword?

I have tomorrow off work.

And I have drunk a lot of coffee tonight.

I suspect I will be bug eyed come 4am.

 

[Rainingstairs]

yes, the first was tres repetitive! I haven't played the second one yet but I'm excited

 

[kyser_soze]

I was up til 0730 this morning

'Finished' the Firenze/Tuscany bit, off to Venezia next

This game has some great Tomb Radier-y bits in it - and getting to jump around inside the Duomo was

Oh dear that doesn't sell it to me, I loath the TR series even more than the Resi games!

 

[stupid dogbot]

Me too. This is so much better. Because when you've finished jumping about (and those bits are much shorter, and much more Prince of Persia than TR, imo), you can go out and kill 4 guards before they've even realised what you're doing.

Never saw Lara Croft do that, innit.

As for Resi, there's no accounting for wrong 'uns.

 

[Dandred]

When is this coming out for PC? Do I really have to wait until around Feb?

That's exactly what the Assassin's Tombs reminded me of. Every time I got to the end and opened a treasure box I expected to hear that "you found a secret" noise ( at 0:14).

 

[kyser_soze]

I'm currently stuck in the Cathederal St Marco In Venice with the 4 challenges...got one of them easy, probably need to pay more attention to the little 'This is how you do it' video things...

Fucking amazing rendering of St Marco's too!

Only 4:30 this morning...

I feel your pain. Took me about 3 hours to work them all out

 

[Gromit]

Didn't take me that long but it did begin to irritate me before I was done.

Was mucking around on it today finishing off the Assasination missions.

Also been mucking around disarming guards and trying out finishing moves with there weapons. Double headed axe has an amazing counter attack finish.

Also sneaking up on someone from behind with a broom is fun. Yes you heard me. A broom. Lethal stuff

 

[kyser_soze]

Yeah, just finished it, will be starting the 'collect all the pieces' thing now...treasure, art, statues, feathers, remaining weapons, races, side missions etc...

Fucking weird finish...

 

[stupid dogbot]

Completed everything except the feathers.

Quite like the ending...

 

[starfish]

Got this for crimbo from the ms. Only played about an hour or so but will get into it this week.

 

[tommers]

i did too. it's very prince of persia innit?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

yep, i got it for crumble too and my son said prince of persia. enjoyed what i've done so far mainly, think i've done the first dna strand just about.

 

[Sesquipedalian]

Just bought Assassin's 2 this afternoon.
Only had a little play,think i'm going to love it.
Visually stunning.

Accidentally punched a prostitute in the face as i was learning the controls.
Was trying to climb a building when it happened.
I had to run away as the crowd turned hostile.

 

[Sesquipedalian]

I'm really loving this visually stunning same.

Have had more than a few moments of vertigo induced panic attacks.
(Both on the inside and outside of so many beautiful buildings.)

I love a game that puts me inside Renaissance Italy.

I have played a good few hours so far and feel as if there is still so much to do and see.
Love it.

 

[stupid dogbot]

2nd run through, all HUD elements off except occasional usage of the mini map.

It's like a different game, so much better.

 

[kained&able]

Just about to play it for the first time. Am quite excited.

i'm enjoying it in the main. some of the free running can be tremendously frustrating, when you plummet 200 feet cos your anticipated landing sport isn't where the joystick takes you, and some of the tutorial lags behind the game content, so you're doing and collecting things before you're able to use them.

but i like the way it's been put together, i'm swearing a bit less over time, the graphics are superb, in the main, although cameras can be a pain as usual, and missions are just starting to become more taxing.
