Assassin's Creed 2

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

For the races, I usually never beat it the first time. It might take a few times to get used to the path and the correct way to go and where to go for the next flag. You have to sprint the whole way and on some roofs, its harder said than done.

I beat it this week, got 50 out of 50, but can't get 100% because of the stupid 3 tombs that don't come with the game unless you got the Black version. I don't think I'll keep it for the DLC since it doesn't add anything.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

Got it for christmas, I have been enjoying it; however I do have one complaint. Is there any way on the map it can list important locations like say the Duomo or Leonardo's Workshop or something? All my map has is the one main story thing and then eagle perspective things. Trying to find some of these major landmarks can be almost impossible at times. I'm fine with most stuff in Florence since I've been there, but in the San Gigamamo or whatever I am lost trying to find all of the glyph places, I have them in my database but cannot find them in the city to save my life.

You can go to the legend on the map and see what each symbol stands for, Leonardo has his own.

Leonardo's symbol only pops up if you have codex pages to decipher.

Unless you beat the game already, do not click on the spoiler tags.

The ending sure snuck up on me. I finally beat the game and I'll be honest, I didn't want it to end.

Spoiler

And like what someone said previously, it left me saying "WTF?" as well. Definitely a better cliffhanger than the first, although I did like the first game. Poor Ezio, he got completed shunned by Minerva at the end.

The credits portion was great as well, although...

Spoiler

some people might be thinking "hidden blade and rods? seriously?" For a powerful organization with resources, Abstergo certainly equips their men with the best weapons. Of course though, the weapons they brought fits the purpose of why they came in the first place.

I think I spent at least 45 hours on this game... maybe even more. Most of the time I would complete one or two memory sequences, then just explore and wreck havoc with the guards.

Spoiler

I don't think there was any main assassination plots that I did not like. Some of them were pretty awesome to pull off. Probably my personal favorite had to be the carnivale one, simply because of how I was able to climb the side of the ship and pull the target down.

I got through all the glyphs and assassin's tomb, but the controls made the last one hell for me. I'm sure it'll get more fine tuning in the next game.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

If I wasn't a big fan of the first one, would I like the second one more? My main complaints in AC1 was that it was very repetitive.

I also didn't like how the combat got really boring because all you did was press maybe 3 buttons.

i think its worth at least giving AC2 a try. maybe rent it first and see what you think. personally, having played thru about 5 or so hours of this game, the repetitive mission types are gone. you no longer need to walk around and complete pickpockets, or eavesdrops or anything like that. it seems more like an open world, in that missions dont actually start until you want them to. this gives you more freedom to roam around as you please. also the combat system is upgraded with new weapons and attacks, plus it no longer feels like a simple sword duel.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

Yeah good idea, I always forget about renting so I think I will try it out. Thanks for the response though.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

Love....This....Game.

Lol honestly, I'm only in the beginning stages of it where everyone says it is the slow part of the game before the story gets going, but even still I'm loving free running on all the buildings, doing the side missions, beating up on guards and all those things.

Can't wait to see how good this game is gonna get once I actually become an assassin.

Does that actually attack you or anything? I've fallen in the water without issue in that area.

WOW! I never came across that monster and I played the game twice.

[goh]

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I don't think it attacks but I haven't checked it out myself. It's possible you don't even have that section of the game,it's "DLC" from the UPlay thing.

Female ancestor.
London,1888.

I could careless when it happens, but I most definitely want to see a female protagonist. Be an excellent way to change things up.

Would even allow her to use her feminine wiles as part of her tactics. Maybe even have the ability to pull back her hood and seduce people to lure them somewhere and finish them off.

So much potential there.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

hey does anyone know how to get a saved file for my new PS3? My old 60gb broke on me and I couldnt tranfer my saved files and I was pretty far into the game. I had just finished the part where you use the wings to kill the one target while people are shooting flaming arrows at you. I definately dont feel like putting that many hours in the game again. Thanks
