AC: Brotherhood is NOT the same as AC2

So stop saying the gameplay is the same ... cause it's not

- You can't call recruited assassins to take out your enemy

- you can't have a constantkillstreak

- you can't send assassins all over europe/russia on assignments

- you cant shoot cannons / burn down towers ...

- you cant ride horses inside the city

... UNLESS I missed something in AC2 ...

Of course its not the same :P

Of course its not the same :P

Most seem to think it is ... which is stupid

Is it good?

It's really good.

I heard it tells you what has happened previously in the story at the beginning is it true?

a BRIEF summary ... not exactly to detail since you meet up with some of the same characters that don't get mentioned ... and PS3 has the exclusive Copernicus missions (OUTSTANDING sequences) ... so you learn just enough at the beginning to let you play through it, but you'll eventually want to go back and play through AC1 and AC2 if you haven't just to get a BETTER understanding of what's going on

I highly doubt it's the same game, im sure Ubisoft is more original then that. However from what ive seen it still kept the core gameplay, and there is nothing wrong with that.

However, Assassins Creed 1 alone was pretty boring about half way through, it just got way to repetitive. Then Assassins Creed 2 comes along, the gameplay was far superior and you got to play more of the assassin, however it too was very repetitive.

So tell me, why should I expect Assassins Creed Brotherhood, a clear milking tactic by Ubisoft, not to be repetitive like Assassins Creed 1&2?

Obviously I do not need you to list facts, and im sure Brotherhood is fun, but for ME PERSONALLY I would have gotten bored by this point(within my walkthrough).

I guess it all depends on how you play the game ... you can either go through it and do everything differently, or go through it doing the same thing over and over ... The people who play online can tell the people that just go through it and the people who actually think through it ... I guess I'm just sick of seeing the same excuses from the people who, I assume, fly through it hacking and slashing - OF COURSE it's the same then ... and that's not how the game is intended to be played

I liked Splinter Cell better than Metal Gear solid, but once I heard convictionw as only on XBOX, I decided to boycott the series forever ... FOREVER (PS3 fanboy and I know it) and I don't like the Metal Gear series anymore

I love history and I love stealth games, so Assassin's Creed was my automatic favorite from the get-go by default

As for the "Core" gameplay excuses ...

God of War has the same CORE

Ratchet & Clank has the same CORE

MGS has the same CORE

- EVERY SINGLE SERIES EVER MADE HAS THE SAME CORE! - that's avery poorexcuse

@melpoe - I can not WAIT for Ghost Recon Future Soldier ... best tactical shooterEVER is my prediction

OMG!!

Add me on psn, it's my second most anticipated game of 2011! (psn id is Melpoe).

I can easily say it might be one of my favorite tacts too. I have not played Operation Flashpoint yet, but I will once im done with Rainbow Six Vegas.

Yet as far as the singleplayer goes it's way to similar to feel different enough.paradigm68

Strongly disagree ...

It came out fast so people think it is going to be the same story as Guitar Hero or COD where its the same game reskinned, but thats not the case. I think AC2 and Brotherhood are kind of the same way GTA 3, GTA:VC and GTA:SA were, they use the same gameplay but made a new game. Multiplayer in Brotherhood was enough for me to buy it, and Im loving it.

Not at all, it all depends on the person. For Assassins the combat is just not strong enough to hold out. But for me it's not just the combat, not every game has repetitive missions over and over again, followed by a very simple combat mechanic, and to top it all off you have the story.

Again my opinion.

I'm loving it...and I am crazy addicted to the MP...just freaking awesome. This is what MP should be...calculated strategy...if you run around like a madman you're as good as dead.BonoBoy

Best MP ive played on a console in a long time, its unique and it takes a brain. I would like to see more developers making MP like this instead of just run and gun.

For me? Metal Gear, Oblivion, Demon's Souls, Dragon Age.

For me Assassins was repetitive, I can deal with the combat but my goodness, doing the same side missions over and over (luckily in AC2 you did not even have to deal with the horrid racing mission things or w/e they were). Sadly by that point, AC1 bored me to death and the only thing that kept me playing AC2 was the story (which is terrible).Again IMO, but alot of people would agree with me that AC1&2 got pretty damn boring about half way through.
