Assassins Creed 2

I DEMAND PROOF!

[B_Metal]

The cloud is not smug, it is correct! Everyone agree with me, because only my opinion is valid! I have come to defend my ever correct steadfast opinion!

Oh Billy, you smug bastard you. Just remember, don't feed the Hocken.

[Abraham Smashington]

But seriously, ASSCREED2 isn't as bad as some people are making it out to be. Unless they thought they were buying a different game?

[BillyG]

Just for you, honey.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'd say both beards are equally epic and manly. But can you play the trombone?

[BillyG]

And no, AC2 isn't terrible. I just had huge, massive expectations, and at the end of the game I felt really let down by it. The numerous small annoyances, and few big problems added up to an incredibly unfulfilled experience for me. If I was to give it a number, I'd settle on a 7. Not a broke piece of shit, but not the AAA game I wanted. And the sci-fi shit is retarded.

EDIT: No trombone, but I did play saxophone in 7th grade band. Then my scrotum dropped.

Took the words right outta my mouth.

[Abraham Smashington]

Ah, I guess that's why the little annoyances don't bother me too much. I didn't have super high expectations besides the fact they fixed some of the issues from the first (combat, swimming, missions, etc) and in my eyes they did. But I have yet to finish it, so who know what my final take will be on it? But I do like the sci-fi shit. But like some people have said, I'm really digging the history and "tour" of the locations so far.

[BillyG]

The historical aspect is very cool. I wish Ubisoft had just made Assassin's Creed a series of random, not connected stories. It would be much better than the current storyline, and allow the assassin's to be fleshed out as better characters, though Ezio is a really good character.

What did you think was improved on the combat? Aside from the double hidden blade, it felt identical to me.

[Abraham Smashington]

The little things like throwing sand, the improved counter mode, the new weapons. It didn't feel as much of a slag as in the first one. But I also dig Ezio way more than Altair. I'm also a fan of the new missions and how the assassinations aren't all the same as in the first one. I'm having more fun with this game than L4D2 and I never thought that would be.

[Captain Russ]

Love love love the disarm ability.

It makes annihilating paisanos much more satisfying, especially when I make a suppository out of their just-been-stolen sword/axe/pike as I jam them shits up their shits.

Or there is the option to drop them shits and then just take them out hand-to-hand like a Renaissance Batmeng.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yep.

[Anderson]

You get to stab greasy prehistoric guidos in the face. SOLD!

[B_Metal]

Jersey Shore has me wanting to pick up asscreed now. Lol

[Abraham Smashington]

So I beat one of those AC tombs things this weekend that had these 4 chains that would drop down after pressing a switch in the floor. And that was fucking awesome. IT's so sad how far Tomb Raider has fallen when AC and, to a way better extent, Uncharted have kicked Lara's ass hard. Still loving this game. And hopefully I'll have it beat within a week or two.
