Assassins Creed 2 Oppinions

I thought the game is good but the one thing I miss from AC 1 is the ability to just kill anyone...

I am not sure if this is just me or not but I just really miss that, it always made my day when those beggers came up and you just killed them.

What do you hope they will include in Assassins Creed 3? or what do you wish was in AC2 from AC1? What would make Assassins Creed 3 even better?

What were you like or dislike from Assassins Creed 1 & 2?

That ezio didnt kill civiliand pissed me off well it got anoying but thats 1 small complaint.

I know you can kill anyone but I find it annoying its like only 3 times then De-sync, does the Kill Count decrees over time? i.e. I kill 2, wait 10 minutes & kill 2 more w/o De-Sync?

Assassin's Creed II was perfect, a tremendous amount of variety, an engaging story, and superb mechanics make every foible from the first game disappear in the sequel.FendersONLY

yes. if you wait probably 5 minutes you can 2 more innocent people. It's so fun isn't it? :)

I hated how AC1 would just freeze all of a sudden and how there was no replay value. I just started playing AC2 a couple hours ago and I'm loving it so far.

I never liked killing civilians in the first place. The only civilians I killed were those mentally disabled, sub human drunk jerks who pushed you everytime you went near them and exposed you, especially if you were blending and had killed close to 50 soldiers (should have seen it, it looked like a scenery of death). But yea, I love AC 2 as well.

I personally do not like the flying part that much. It is kind of painful.

Its better then the 1st. I'd give the original an 8.0 and number 2 like 8.5.

Same here, I got mine on Christmas, I also got MW2, MW2 is lucky to be open right now lol... I am addicted to AC2 at the moment, I love the economic system they added that gave the game a new twist, and it made it very good...

Same here man. I was so pissed off, that I actually used a walkthrough from these forums.

im bit iffy on the graphics, like in the scene were bartolomeo was holding his sword, it looked as if his hands were sticking out and his sword was floating inbetween. amirite?

Game is really good so far. A lot better than the first one that's for sure. Everything just seems more organized and smoother. A lot more variety.

I played AC 2 on a Xbox 360, it did not have the same graphic error.

Better than Assassin's Creed 1, but not worth it.

Loved the game, that part didn't really bother me anyhow. But since I beat that one I am really looking forward to the third

This game is great. I haven't beaten it yet so I can't talk about what I want from the story. I can't really think of anything I would want changed in the 3rd, because I really enjoy this one. I find it difficult to find flaws. As long as they make some minor adjustments, it's an easy purchase for me. :)

In AC2 you can kill anyone you want, it just tells you that Ezio didn't kill innocent people and lets you continue. I only killed innocent people once or twice, I don't like ridiculing games I like.

I really can't think of anything AC1 did that is better than AC2, I saw AC2 as an improvement of its prequel in every way.

What I found bad in AC2 was the Italian language, they NEVER get the accent right! And the feather collecting is just too much of a dull b****.

I loved customizing in AC2, if they make it more creative and vast in AC3, it would be excellent :) Usage of the Piece of Eden would be nice. In a way like Nathan Hale used his extreme powers in the end of Resistance 2 or Dante with the Sparda sword in DMC1... something like that.....

I'm sure I'd come up with more things I'd like to add if I thought about it more....

Yeah, I do enjoy the Customization, I just wish they would in AC3 make it even more in-depth and like add your own colors to it, say I wanted to wear Assassins Red, not Assassins Topaz or something like that lol.

The Graphics I think are accuitly very good.

I hope they keep the Villa's in AC3 along with the Economic System.

Dude, you kidding me? The Itlaian language was a perfect imitation of some northern Italian city, in fact, some of my friends and I were making fun of my other friend for sounding like Ezio too much.

ask your friend if they got the accent right then, he'll tell you. I've been hearing Italian all my life, I know what I'm talking about. They strecth the words too much, they're much faster. It's like a non-Italian trying to read Italian with a little direction.

I cant understand why in the end the guards [ or wth are called ] dont use a pistol or a machine gun instead of sticks against Desmond and Lucy

I hated AC2.

the first one was repetitive and could have used a little help with the plot but I still kinda liked it. Everything made since. you were given a target to kill and you had to investagate to find the best time and place to kill them. yeah, constantly climbing view points got boring but it make scince to do so. how else were you to find people to pick pocket and conversations to eavesdrop on. I also loved the way it kinda had 2 stories going on at once and keep the player in touch with both by having the player move back and forth between the two worlds.

all that was lost in AC2, and it still kept all the problems from the first one. just because more missions types were added doesn't mean it doesn't get repetitive when you have to do them over and over. and wtf does racing across the city and collecting feathers have to do with being an assassian. Investing in local businesses, really? wtf? I'm done with the series.

They must have their reasons then. Maybe for the subtitles to keep up with the speech.

About the quote in my sig, just visit this link http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/assassinscreed2/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-52489915&pid=956856

I figured it out on my own, since I know Italian, but I thought it would be better if I found someone else who agrees...

Like it, hate it, don't mind it, it's gonna stay there until I get sick of it.

Yea, you were right. The accent was off.

I loved it waaaay better than AC1 that's for sure. Unfortunately I probably won't ever play it again.NinjaDice

If you mean you will never play AC 1 again, I kinda understand, since other than the killing civilians without life penalty, there is no bonus for a continued game, and the story is at an end. If you mean AC 2, I think there are still items and bonuses to be won, no?

Lolz, I know the feeling, when you are trying to complete something, and you just get so damn bored. That is when my little brother plays for me for like 2 hours, while I work out, and then I want to play again. =P

AC2 was a huge step up from AC1 but I can really only call it a 'good' game. It isn't great. It's fun, but there's nothin there which would make me want to play it over and over again. Call me a stick in the mud, for saying it, but it really is only recieving all this praise just because the first was SO god aweful. I want better controls in the next game. There is so much micromanagement with Ezio, it's ridiculous. If they had the same climbing controls as Infamous, then the platforming would be so much better imo. HellsAngel2c

The micromangement is what allows more customization mate. That is a positive factor, not a negative. The first game was not God Awful, it was pretty good, just not excellent. The second made up for the first by a long shot.

I dont mean the cutomisation and equipment buying- that was actually the best new feature of AC2. I'm talking about controlling Ezio . Unlike Cole, guiding Etzio around is more combersom then it should be. The camera is awkward, and Ezio does the Lara Croft thing often where he jumps to his death.

You're right that the first one was god awful. To someone who is not pleased by graphics to the point that it can drive a game's flaws from their mind, it was quite bad. But the second game isn't just good by comparison. It really is good on its own merits. It's just all the more shocking that it was good because of its predecessor.

One of the things that's better in AC2 is that climbing requires more thinking and effort. I love that. In AC1, eavesdropping was "go here and press triangle". Climbing was "go here and hold up on the control stick for 2 minutes". That's not fun. But when climbing a building actually becomes a bit of a puzzle itself, it makes you feel like you're actually doing something rather than watching Ezio do things. In other words, it took a turn from the latest Prince of Persia in AC1 to Prince of Persia Sands of Time in AC2. And I prefer actually being responsible for the platforming because it makes me feel like I'M doing it.

One thing I dislike about inFamous's controls is the stickiness. It just feels odd. There are parts in AC2 that are 'sticky' like this, for example, benches. When he gets near a bench, he gloms to it. Try to pull him off and it's like he's resisting you, like he's stuck down with glue. But when he's on buildings and stuff, it doesn't feel sticky, and I liked that.

Sure, sometimes he jumps to his death against your instructions, but that only happened about 3 times to me in the entire game. These kinds of things come with the territory of adventure-platformers. Of course though it might help that I'm a big fan of Tomb Raider so... :D

A perfect sequel.... love it

You can just kill anyone... It'll give you a message saying "Ezio didn't kill civilians" or something like that but it won't deduct any of your life (aka. "decrease syncronisation"). I've killed civilians by accident and the game even keeps track of how many couriers you murder.clicketyclick

If you killed one civilian by accident it would give you that message sometimes.

I always desynchronized, which I hated because there were times where I was trying to assassinate a guard and a civilian would walk by, I would kill them and have to restart.

Yea, ok, I will give you that one. But still, after playing for like 5 hours, you get used to it, and then the game is only positive.

Literally just finished the game.

My biggest beef with the game is when you're hanging on a wooden stick on a wall, and you have to swing I found that extremely painful. also the story could've been better. And Minerva's voice was awful, she sounded like a robot lol.

For the next game I would like a much bigger setting so I could accomplish more after beating the game, don't know where could it be located or the time.

My beef is with the part when you are jumping across ledges and edges and you try to jump to a wall and fall splash in the water. At least they fixed it from AC 1, where if you fell in the water, it is game over.
