Was watching Ultimate Fight Night and they showed a nice long commercial. I think it moved. 15th Century Italy. This game should be awesome, like the first. repetitive? yes. awesome? yes. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVWhWsgHzKM"]YouTube - Assassins Creed 2 - Official E3 Trailer[/ame]
must disagree with assassins 1 being awesome. I thought it was awesome for the first 5 hours. The first city was awesome. Then i realized there were 7 cities, asking me to do the exact same thing at each one. I couldn't have been more disappointed with the games lack of pacing and development. it might have been the simple fact that they just let you do everything cool in the game within the first city. They should have tried to limit your abilities early on and have you unlock some as you go. All that aside, AC2 does look great. bigger, better, and more hardcore. But i hope they worked on pacing.
Super excited for this game, even though I'll probably just rent it... Because the last game didn't take me more than 2 or 3 days to beat.
I disagree with the disagreeing of Assassins Creed 1 not being awesome. The only part that was kind of crappy about it was the end. Taking everything that made the game fun and then throwing it out the window and only including the not as fun fighting.
Assassins Creed One was a great game. The worst thing about it was that it did become repetitive, But it was still fun to play. I enjoyed most aspects of the game and can't wait to play two and three!!!! Like Griddles said tho its probably a rent first game and see how long it takes you to beat it. I beat One in a very short period of time.
I loved the first game and according to the previews the second game is a huge improvement over the first, it should be awesome.
I usually hate not finishing games. Once I start, I'll see it to the end almost every time (pet peeve of mine). However, I could not finish the first Assassins Creed. I've stated this before, but the fact that this was a non-linear storyline pissed me off to no end. Back in time through memories of a relative = FAIL. Not to mention the PC disclaimer at the beginning of the game about religion and all stuff was totally BS. If I didn't want to kill Christians in a video game, I wouldn't buy it. No need to warn me. Also, the repetition was horrible. After the first mission or two, doing the SAME EXACT THINGS killed me. If the second one is just as repetitive, I won't even bother.
besides the part about having to finish games, i agree 110%. If i finished every game I have, i would never be able to leave the room
I agree 100% but I do wish I gave it more time before trading it in. I played it for like 5-6 hours straight one night and got bored with it (duh). Popped it in the next few days and the same issue. Should have taken my time with it. Definitely gonna give Creed 2 a shot. I'll enjoy it more now that it'll be chilling on the shelf for the most part with MW2 taking up most of my gaming time. Every time it gets popped in it should feel fresh.
First game did get very, very repetitive, but I liked it anyway and thought they did a hell of a job with the scope of free range environments. Probably wont buy it at launch but I am looking forward to seeing what they do with this game.
I wish I am playing these non repetitive games you guys seem to find. Every game I play is repetitive after 3 hours, except for Grand Theft Auto 4 because it didn't even allow itself to become repetitive for 5 hours. Longest Tutorial ever! I played through the game and I had fun. I thought the story inside the machine was interesting and enough to make me want to know what is happening next. I do think the parts where I have to be outside of the machine and walk around and listen to people talk wasn't exactly fun. I will also thank Assassin's Creed for changing platforming. Realizing that players don't want to hit a button every time they want to move from platform to platform, was genius.
I might buy this game. I never played Assasins Creed 1, So I don't know what to expect. To be honest, I want to buy it for the amazing graphics, lol.
I think you do have a point, heck Bungie has been very open about the main idea of the Halo games was to make 30 seconds of fun, and then figure out how to keep repeating it over and over for a whole game. With this game though there was very little variance throughout the game in terms of new weapons or ways of killing people. Most of the cities you had to get into the same way, blend in with some priests... Even the achievements were the same. Climb to the top of all the towers in each city/area, find all the flags etc. Like I said, I liked the game, but I can see why some people got bored with it, though I did not.
I loved the first one, only played it last month and played it through to mostly completion (got 900 gamer points). I missed the conversation achievement so I can't get the full 1000 without playing through the whole game again. Very, very annoying and not going to happen. It's also put me off spending the last couple of hours to hunt down the 7 missing templars and a couple of missing flags. Yes the game did feel like it got repetitive but to be honest, I never really got tired of killing people with the counter move or jumping into bails of hay from 300 feet up. A couple of annoyances for me are that after completing you can't just select the end of each mission to try and find a new way to kill your target and that I can't get that stupid conversation achievement without playing the whole game again. One other minor annoyance was when I climbed to the top of that Cathedral in Acre? and my daughter wanted a go of making "the little man do a super jump", she's 3 btw. Only problem was she didn't push up correctly and instead of hitting the hay I splatted on the pavement. Takes a couple of minutes to climb that damn thing. I'll be getting the second one, probably quite close to when it comes out.
