Well, my first 2 hours have been okie dokie. I'd say this game is worth a 7.5-8.0 so far, but nothing higher.

I didn't buy it...but at least you got that Splinter Cell Demo you were raving about. I will just have to wait and see what folks say about it.

there was no demo that was Hip Hop Gamer with a picture of the little thing that gave you a code for a MP3 file/Wallpaper for your computer

I didn't even get that code. I feel robbed

They wait to attack you and all you really have to do is wait for them so you can counter for an instant kill. I was hoping they would enhance the combat more for this one.

[QUOTE="jakarai"]I'll be glad when Amazon actually ships my copy out.Maxyboy13

I feel your pain. Amazon says mine won't arrive until December 2nd at the earliest.

I know I did the free shipping but jesus why is it going to take them 4 days(Nov. 23) just to ship out the game.

Just got done playing for a about 4 hours and felt the game had a really slow start, but began to pick up steam after [spoiler] Your father and brother get hung, the first assassination and eventually meeting up with Mario while getting your mother and sister out of the city. [/spoiler]

After that point, I began to get pulled into the game a bit more because the pacing and start of what seems like excellent character development and growth became very apparent. This is where I think the game will really make it's biggest impact as well. Although, I must admit that I am still not the biggest fan of the free running gameplay, as you never really feel like you are in total control. All in all, I am digging it so far, though. It just had a rather weak start in my opinion.

I personally enjoyed the start and learning a bit about Ezio and how life was before the entire incident.

Of course I would have, and I have...:roll:

You don't fool anyone when you quote KingTuttle.

Sorry, mate. But I'm quite skeptical on that -- if you can prove otherwise, by all means do so. But I honestly do not see why it matters what boxart is shown. :?

Sorry, I'm skeptical on your motives that doesn't seem a good use of time on my end, with such a little return.

Also, for the record, There is no way anyone outside of my directed message would fully comprehend the entire context of my quote, so I'll leave it at that.

Once you prove you own and play all the consoles, and that you have finally played and finished all the top games for all systems this year (2009), then I will may look into your request later.

My goodness mate, this isn't a conspiracy -- I'm merely asking you why it matters what boxart is shown. I'm pretty sure everyone here knows the game ain't only on the 360.

And I think this image suits that last part perfectly.

The first also got 9 here and it was crap (imo). However this is getting high reviews everywhere, that free trip to Italy for reviewers must have worked. :ploco145

The first one got high ratings everywhere too.

Don't forget what Ubisoft asked videogame websites regarding the review for Assassin's Creed 2 guys.

I can't possibly imagine what you mean or are saying. Good job relaying a vague message.:|

However, I can see that he's not going to "Fall for that" as it were, since he won't be playing those games, I'm sure.

Re reads my quoted sentence 5 times above, then reads your sentence to make sure I could try to understand...yep, I did my best. ;)

I think I got it : I'm the Boogieman, and I want gamers to play great games on all consoles. Man, I'm sinister.

Well, then let the conversation I had with the TC rest. You're pretty sure, so that's good enough for me.

Unless...you were hired for weeks of protection work, then carryon.

As far as it matters or not, it doesn't really (Heck, this thread will be forgotten next time this year, it's no biggie)...but you obviously asking me over and over seems to be an issue. So once you figure out why you must ask, is probably the same reason I asked.

It's a boxart choice :| What possible motive can someone have? by picking a box art for a thread on disussing the game. The game should be the primary cause of discussion, not the boxart for the opposing systems.

Firstly, you must see that you are the third person to ask me the same question in a row. So understand that my answers are getting strained, but ultimately it's only an issue for those that seem to pursue it now.

Now, I will go ahead and answer.

As a fellow human being, I have my own opinions. Sometimes they align with you guys, sometimes they don't. Tis the Human condition.

While I know all about AC2, I can't assume all Comers in SW do. When AC2 was first shown off it was at Sony's E3, and immediately Cows started claiming it was exclusive to the PS3. Sure, it wasn't all Cows, but enough that I got tired of the misinformation. Here we have a Thread about a 9.0 on AC2, but it only shows one box. Upon inspection one would find that to be applicable to all consoles, but to avoid anytype of misinformation, one could try to find better boxart. That being said, I only asked the TC to see if he thought of that. New GS PC users may not realize AC2 is on PC, same for new GS PS3 users. If this is to be a sticky thread, one could avoid that.

In the end, it matters not, but I can see some here found themselves an ant hill worth looking at.

In this case, I asked a the TC who I've seen for a long time a question, and lo and behold I knew that I would recieve a response. I got what I wanted from the TC, but I also got others jumping on. Now, what I like to do is look at the others that quote me, and that's where it gets interesting. The question is why does it matter that I asked, and who is bothered in the first place?

Does the TC have a motive, probably not. Does the posters that quote me? Probably not. Still, It's all worth exploring in a little area we call System WARS, right?

If anything, playing the Devil's Advocate can be entertaining to all.

I gotta say, with all these words, and all these posters, and the dilemma's we are all faced with. I just have to look at what all the fuss was about. I gotta say, I forgot....I wanted to go back and look at the controversy first hand. Here is THE POST made prior to AC2's GS score, that changed the world :

"I guess AAA. We'll see.

Why did you use a giant 360 Box, you should have found a PC box or used just the AC2 image with no console box, ah well."

Note to self, when asking the TC an honest question to get an honest answer, be prepared for others to get downright offended for the audacity of such a preposterous question. I'll keep in mind. Still, in retrospect, this is all a bit silly, I'd say. I was feeling the TC out in a forum called SW. The cool thing is I may have OUTED a few guys though, too bad some innocents like yourself may have jumped in and got caught up in the drama too. :(

Just play AC2 and enjoy it mang.:P

As I understand it, there's a "Previously, on Assassin's Creed..." sort of deal at the beginning, but it would probably be a good idea to play AC1 first. They've been virtually giving it out free for a while now, so you don't have much to lose.

It is better than the first one, no more repetitive missions, and they've added waaaaay more types of missions and intertwined storylines. I liked the first one, but it had soem major flaws that lead to pure boredom sometimes. This one keeps you busy right thruogh and keeps getting better and better as you go along with every upgrade you get. This time the upgrades are useful too. If you didn't like the first one because of the way the missions were laid out, but you liked everything else about the game, you're gonna like this one much better.Phazevariance
I guess i'm gonna have to eat my words and rethink my decision on not buying this one.

You can fight dirty as Ezio. When there is a big battle between allies and enemies, simply walk up to an enemy who is busy fighting your ally and stab him in the back.
