Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Is this game that much better than AC 2? Is the gameplay any different? What makes it so good?

I'm talking gameplay, here.

I feel like the gameplay is improved. It is kind of difficult to put my finger on but I feel like there was more to do in ACB, but that AC2 had a bit more depth in terms of the actual story. The quick kill executions kind of feel cheap though, but useful when you fight 20 enemies at once. The game is much more challenging. I beat the game last night but still found myself playing on 3 more hours tonight and I really expected to be bored after beating the game, but not so.

Ubisoft did a great job designing the city of Roma, very impressed.

In terms of look its about the same but because Ubisoft only had to design one place and it was a place such as rome they really nailed it. There's like zero load time and the game seems to really have a flow to it the AC 2 didnt , thought I loved that game. You actually feel more skilled then the guards this game but not to the point that you feel over powered.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

I certainly do wish they did have a replay cam feature. I've had a couple of funny, unexpected moments in the game. I called in one of my first recruits to deal with an archer and instead of getting a silent kill, the recruit and the archer played a little game of climb and jump before I had to intervene. It's also funny when you call one of your assassins to take out a seeker who is investigating the haystacks/rose petals/etc.

I think I may have finished Ezio's part of AC:B and (MAJOR SPOILER IF YOU HAD NOT BEATEN THE GAME)

Spoiler

in my opinion, the last couple of sequences felt rushed. Sure I liked using the piece of eden, but can't I put it away? I also didn't like the quick time skips.

I did a side mission where I had to kill a guy who was on a horse. I killed him by throwing an axe at him and it did the slow motion thing while he was flying off his horse with an axe stuck in his chest. I couldn't stop laughing.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Is there more stealth to this one, like anywhere close to Splinter Cell/MSG levels, or is it still a lot of running around and killing the guards?

Not that I had a problem with that though.

YES. They actually reward you now for performing missions without being seen and killing only the assassination target.

The missions are always laid out where you can use stealth instead of all guns blazing. My favorite thing to do is whistle for my guild members to show up and assassinate guards for me while I make my way to the target without being seen. So awesome.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Anybody else find the Virtual Trainer: Combat Challenges addicting? Was playing it yesterday and was trying for like 3 hours to beat everyone on my friend's list score lol.

Not too many people on my list have it but I think I beat Jmood's score of like 540 in one of the challenges lol

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Wow I was up until 4.30am last night playing this. I'm a massive fan of the series (even the first game) and this is just an incredibly immersive world to play in. I love that being aggressive in combat is now rewarded and chaining together kills is a huge improvement. I have the day off today so I should be able to get in another couple of hours, whilst doing laundry etc.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Yep the first time I sent my other assassins in for the kill was flat out awesome.

I grin from ear to ear when i call my peeps to take care of business. Sometimes i just stand back and admire.

Great addition for this game.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Can anyone explain the chaining together of kills for the xbox? I'm having a hard time doing it. Do you need to target with the left trigger?

as soon as you have killed someone (or are in the middle of a finishing move) point the left stick toward the next opponent and press X. So long as you are not hit first you will immediately do a finishing move on that guard, and so on.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Finished the game, loved it. Possibly my GOTY or at least top 5. Wasn't thrilled by the ending but I have my own theories about that.

Anyway top notch all the way.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Finally picked it up yesterday. Hoping to get in a little bit of playing time this afternoon or tomorrow.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Re: Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

I can't explain it but to me it's MUCH better than AC2, and I really liked AC2.

I second that. Now that I have had time to really spend with this game today, I am enjoying it a lot. I have been spending more time running around and rebuilding Rome then trying to do missions. I love this new aspect. I made a complete 180 on this game from my previous thoughts.
